Chapter 107: Walking in the water
The frenzied running did not alleviate the horse's pain, but ran faster and faster, and the bumps became more violent, and each bump almost threw the horse into the air, then fell heavily, and then threw it into the air, and so on.
At this time, Fu Yiran was already dizzy and swollen, and her sternum was painful.
Even though the tears pierced by the wind flowed down, he tried to keep his eyes open, looking at the fleeting scenery around him, and looked up at the front, his pupils dilated instantly.
The smooth and clean road suddenly appeared with thorns and paved the entire road.
Fu Yiran straightened up all of a sudden, looked at the thorns with spikes, and felt his body numb.
"You're going to kill me!"
If the horse stepped on the thorns, she would definitely be injured and fall, and when she fell off the horse, she would be pierced to death by the thorns, if not to her death.
She didn't want to die so unpretty.
Fu Yiran straightened up and tried to stop the horse, but the horse was so excited that he didn't listen to the order at all and lost his mind.
She looked up at the canopy of trees above and made up her mind, and before the horse was about to step on the thorns, she threw herself up with all her strength and stretched out her arms to grasp a thick branch overhead.
She calculated the horse's speed and the distance of inertia when she jumped, jumped a little distance from the thick branch, and then pounced forward with the inertia of the horse's gallop forward, and was able to hook the thick branch.
The violent movement made her dizzy, and her arms trembled incessantly, like a swing, hanging on the branches with a little wind, and watching the horses gallop into the thorns and be pierced with flesh and blood.
Fu Yingran's heart is secretly dangerous, and he will jump directly into the thorns if he is one step late.
She glanced at the distance from the ground, took a deep breath and prepared to land, when a small but clear voice burst through the air with a thud.
Sensing the danger keenly, Fu Yiran instinctively let go of the hand that hooked the thick branch, fell to the ground, and fell to the butt.
Above his head, a sharp arrow pierced deep into the trunk of the tree, and the tail feathers vibrated violently, sinking into the tree for three points.
"And."
Fu Yingran complained in pain, and the cat hid behind a big tree, and the dizziness became more and more intense.
Not giving any respite is really ruthless.
"I didn't do anything before I ate the ingredients after listening to you, don't let me die here unjustly."
When the man hiding in the shadows saw that one arrow missed, he was followed by a second and a third arrow, and the sound of arrows was like rain, and one after another.
How many people are hidden, just to deal with her powerless girl's family, the Queen Mother really looks up to her.
Sharp arrows were shot from all directions, and Fu Yiran could only hide behind a tree, not daring to show his head at all, and he didn't even know where people were hiding.
She distinctly heard footsteps approaching in her direction, very fast, heading straight for her tree.
Fu Yingran wanted to run, but she had completely lost her strength, her vision was blurring, her reason was withdrawing from her body, not to mention the endless rain of arrows blocking her, forcing her to stay behind the tree obediently and wait to be caught.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, so heavy, like a behemoth, that a single foot could trample her to death.
It stepped on the dirt, on the dead branches, on the grass, and on the heart of the Fu, driving the ups and downs of the Fu's breathing.
However, a strange bell sound suddenly mingled in, and then a cloud of yellow smoke filled the air.
Fu Yingran covered his mouth and nose and coughed hard, listening to the sound of fighting outside, and his body was crooked and completely unconscious.
Something warm underneath me.
β¦β¦
The colorful flags on the high stands were hunting, and they were blown by the wind, but everyone in the stands held their breath, and the terrifying murderous aura spread out from the top seats.
The emperor slapped his palm, stood up suddenly, pointed directly at the guard kneeling in front of him and gritted his teeth, "You say it again, what's wrong with the county lord?" β
Everyone present was so shocked by the emperor's anger that they tightened their chests and jaws, and the guards who reported it were even more sweaty, subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and tried to control their voices not to tremble.
"The county lord's horse was suddenly frightened and flew away, and disappeared."
The last four words were spat out between his teeth with difficulty, and the guard fell to the ground with his forehead touching the ground, as if he could already hear the sound of black and white impermanence dragging the chains.
"How can a horse be frightened, who is in charge of the horse!"
Zhongchang took two steps from the emperor's side, and ordered the two persons in charge of the paddock to step forward and reply, and the person in charge immediately explained that the horses in the paddock were all under the unified management of Mrs. Feng.
The Zhongchang attendant immediately ordered someone to call Mrs. Feng, Concubine Han clenched her hands and walked out of the seat excitedly, and the usually cold and silent person was full of panic at this time, and her voice unconsciously became sharp and trivial.
"Your Majesty, please quickly send someone to find the county lord, there are fierce beasts in the paddock, and the county lord is a weak woman who doesn't know what happened."
"Yes, Brother Huang, there is no urgency in accountability, the safety of the county lord is more important."
King Yan saw his mother so worried and out of control, he couldn't bear it, and a trace of envy rose inexplicably.
When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows frowned, and he immediately asked the commander of the forbidden army who followed him to personally lead people to find the county lord, and he must find the county lord safely.
The waiting process was both painful and worrying, and the emperor kept walking around, always paying attention to the direction of the entrance to the hunting ground.
The emperor was anxious, and the accompanying officials and ladies were naturally also panicked, only the queen mother and the old god were sitting in the seat, unmoved.
The emperor paced back and forth, dangling in front of the Queen Mother, who raised her eyes and glanced at him, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, the county lord Jiren has his own natural appearance, and it will be fine."
The emperor's anxious steps stopped suddenly, and his gaze at the Queen Mother was deep and complex, with obvious inquiry.
The county lord suddenly had an accident, was it an accident, or was someone doing a ghost?
The tragedy on that day and the Gupta ceremony was obviously someone who was playing tricks, and the goal was to be ambushed, but Miss Sun Si was mistaken.
Could the person behind this ghost be the Queen Mother?
The answer to this question was almost a certainty, but he could not do anything without absolute certainty.
The Queen Mother disapproving his suspicious gaze, and drank tea leisurely, and the gesture of the victorious one immediately angered Concubine Han.
Concubine Han seemed to have suppressed too many emotions, and ran to the Queen Mother like a hurricane, and broke out all of a sudden, and King Yan wanted to hold her but didn't.
"Don't be pretending there, the county mainly has three longs and two shorts, and I will not give up."
There was an eerie silence in the stands, and everyone was stunned.
King Yan's pupils first widened, and then he closed his eyes in pain.
This person who angrily reprimanded the Queen Mother...... Is it Concubine Han?
In everyone's impression, Concubine Han always looks indifferent to the ebb and flow of the tide, but today she has lost her temper one after another, and she also reprimanded the Queen Mother in public in frenzy.
Is Concubine Han crazy?
Although there were rumors in the palace, Concubine Han treated the county lord of Yunsang well, and attended the Laba banquet at the invitation of the county lord, and she has been living with the county lord since she came to the paddock.
But in contrast, the Queen Mother's kindness to Concubine Han and King Yan is even deeper.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother, Concubine Han and King Yan would have been driven out of the twilight city long ago, where would they still have the honor they have now.
Now Concubine Han is turning her face against the queen mother for the sake of the county lord?
Don't say that those outsiders, even the emperor was stunned.
He never thought that Concubine Han would be so good to Yunsang that she would not hesitate to offend the Queen Mother.
Concubine Han's face turned a little red, years of harem life have cultivated her calmness and calmness to hide all her emotions behind her face, even if she is hateful in her heart, her face is not obvious, but her sharp eyes still reveal the anger of forbearance.
Concubine Han had no restraint on her lips, and she made accusations in a low voice in front of everyone's eyes, "So many people entered the paddock, but only the county lord was shocked, if you didn't use dirty methods, who would believe it?" Don't think I don't know what's going on yesterday and the ceremony, who doesn't know that you want to kill the county lord, since the county lord came to Twilight City, you have made several assassinations, you can hide it from everyone, but don't think you can hide it from me. β
Saying that, Concubine Han took two steps forward and walked to the side of the Queen Mother's case, and the two looked at each other from each other, murderous.
"The county lord had better be fine, if there is a slight difference, I will never let you go!"
In the end, the threat exploded like water dripping into a pan of oil.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, whispering.
Concubine Han is really crazy.
The Queen Mother didn't expect that Concubine Han would embarrass her in public at this moment.
It seems to be too good for her!
The Queen Mother's cloudy face was full of murderous aura, and as soon as she slapped the case, she angrily reprimanded 'presumptuous', and immediately called the forbidden army.
King Yan anxiously rushed out and knelt on the ground, knocking his head a few times, "The mother concubine is also too worried about the county lord, so she has no mouth for a while, and she also asks the queen mother to calm her anger." β
"Mouthless?" The Queen Mother snorted, "The mourning family thinks that she is too good to you on weekdays, so she ignores her humility like this." Someone came, Concubine Han committed the following crimes, spoke wildly, and dealt with it after returning to the palace after seeing it. β
The forbidden army stepped forward and directly set up Concubine Han.
King Yan was anxious but didn't dare to stop him, otherwise he was afraid that even he would be angry, and then there would really be no one to save his mother.
Concubine Han didn't struggle or resist, stared at the Queen Mother without blinking, not panicked, and pulled the corners of her mouth lightly, how to look at the smile at that moment and how sarcastic.
"I mean what I say."
Concubine Han left this sentence before being taken away, and the atmosphere in the stands became more and more tense and weird.
The Queen Mother's desire to kill the county lord is a rumor circulated among the people, and there is no substantial evidence, although everyone has heard it, but no one dares to explore the truth or falsehood.
Concubine Han's actions today clearly indicate that those rumors are true.
The Queen Mother really wanted to kill her adopted daughter.
The Praetorian Army sent out had no good news until dark, and it was destined to be an unstable night.
The emperor was worried and sleepless waiting for the news of Fu Yingran, while Concubine Han, who was imprisoned in the room of Xiaguang Courtyard, was calm.
She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, looking as if she had fallen asleep, but her brain was refreshed.
There was a small argument outside the door.
King Yan carried a food box and stuffed a bag of silver into the hands of the forbidden soldiers guarding the door, and the two forbidden soldiers looked ahead like two wooden heads, completely unmoved.
"The Queen Mother has an order, no one is allowed to approach, His Royal Highness King Yan, please go back."
Yan Wang clenched his hand holding the food box with an embarrassed face, and took off the mutton fat white jade on his waist, but he was still strongly refused.
He took two steps back and stood in the courtyard, shouting into the dark room, "Mother, my son has brought you a favorite snack." β
The lights had gone out in the room, and there was not the slightest sound.
King Yan shouted a few times but no one responded in the room, and the forbidden army drew a big knife and stepped forward to drive him away, forcing him out of Xiaguang Courtyard step by step.
Concubine Han listened to the sound of fading outside the house, her eyes moved, and her eyes still did not open.
She's waitingβ
Tuk tuk, a slight sound of landing sounded, and Concubine Han's tightly closed eyes opened suddenly.
β¦β¦
There was silence in the courtyard where the emperor lived, but there was an angry rebuke in the study.
The emperor is a generous and elegant person, rarely roaring out of control, the pen and ink inkstones on the desk were thrown to the ground, the black ink splashed everywhere, and the commander of the forbidden army standing at the forefront bore the brunt, and the armor was all black.
"In one day, I can't even find anyone, what's the use of asking you!"
He can still stay calm during the day, but he really can't calm down at this time.
Fu Yingran was afraid that he was already more than lucky, and thinking of this, his chest might be stuffy and blocked.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have let her participate in the hunt, he thought he had done a good job of protection, but he was still exploited by the Queen Mother.
Suddenly thinking of something, the emperor spoke, "What about the guards and palace people who follow the county lord?" β
The commander of the forbidden army said, "It's all under control, waiting for Your Majesty to deal with it." β
"Bring people in."
The commander of the forbidden army left the study and returned in less than a quarter of an hour, his expression hurried, his steps fast and heavy.
"Your Majesty, the place where the guards and palace people are held is out of water, people...... All dead. β
"What!"
The emperor stood up suddenly, and a chill ran through his whole body from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he suddenly fell back in a trance.
"The fire was burned from the Kasumikoin Temple, and the enclosure steward is organizing the extinguishing of the fire."
"How could Kasumigin Temple burn down?"
Xiaguang Courtyard is where the county lord lives, and now only Concubine Han is locked up there.
Concubine Han ......
The emperor guessed something at once, and went straight to the Xiaguang Courtyard out of the study.
The commander of the forbidden army walked beside him and told him about the situation, "Concubine Han suddenly shouted that someone put tobacco and poison in her house, saying that she wanted to see Your Majesty, but the forbidden army guarding didn't find anything, and if she didn't let her leave, she directly lit the bed curtains and curtains with candlesticks. β
"What about people? How are people? β
"I've been rescued, it's fine."
As he was talking, he had already arrived at the Xiaguang Temple, and at this time, the Xiaguang Temple was in chaos, and the palace people had to carry water to extinguish the fire.
Under a jujube tree not far from the courtyard, Concubine Han grabbed the trunk of the tree with a dirty face and wanted to stand up, her eyes always looking at the direction of the emperor's hospital.
"I want to see Your Majesty, someone wants to kill me."
She was struggling to find the emperor, but King Yan stopped in front of her, Yingting's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and she suppressed her dissatisfaction.
"Mother, stop, do you know how much trouble you have caused tonight?"
He couldn't be clearer about how calm the mother was, even his own son couldn't attract much attention from her, and now his image has been completely subverted.
He was displeased, jealous, and resentful.
He hates Fuyi, that's very clear.
Concubine Han had a stubborn attitude, and as soon as she pushed King Yan away, she was about to go to the emperor, but she didn't take two steps before she saw the emperor striding towards her.
Concubine Han paused for a moment, then took a bigger and faster step, and when she was about to approach the emperor, she directly threw herself down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, you must be the master of the concubine, the Queen Mother wants to kill me, she wants to kill people."
