And as a result of this, Xu Rulie was not injured by the sword, but because of the weight of the emperor's body, the elbow of his right hand hit the hard gravel, and the emperor heard the sound of him pumping cold air, and hurriedly sat up to check for Xu Rulie.

Xu Rulie's face wrinkled with pain, but he quietly withdrew his right hand, and after a while, he was embarrassed to speak. "Back to my father, my sons are incompetent, and I am too late to save my father, and I hope that my father will forgive me."

"Needless to say, the injury on your hand is even worse?"

After all, he is still his own son, even if the emperor felt anxious for him for those trivial things before, and when such a thing happened, the emperor was still very concerned in his heart.

It's just that in this situation, Xiao Huai'an, who was standing alone, looked a lot embarrassed, and he didn't care much about the expression on his face, but he was vaguely melancholy.

"Erchen is fine, this is just a skin injury, the key is that the assassin who is so bold that he dares to attack his father," Xu Rulie rubbed his arm, and there was no pain on his face, but he still gasped from time to time.

"I don't know Lord Xiao, have you seen it clearly, something like this has happened one after another, Lord Xiao has to hurry up and bring the assassin to justice."

Xu Rulie was injured like this, and he didn't forget to dig a pit for Xiao Huai'an, the emperor and he helped each other to get up, and Xiao Huai'an bowed to the emperor with a slightly calm face.

"Wechen was incompetent, the assassin was very cunning, Wechen didn't have time to catch up with him, so he released a smoke bomb and fled."

"That's it, if it weren't for the perfect solution, how could they have done such a bold thing." Hearing this, the emperor raised his head meaningfully and took a breath, cleaned up his cuffs and hem, and asked casually.

"But it was a coincidence that the two of you had just arrived, and not long after I came in, the two of you got the news and arrived at the same time."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huai'an was naturally calm, but Xu Rulie was a little flustered.

"Back to Your Majesty, it was Weichen who asked His Majesty for the afternoon's itinerary, and I happened to meet Duke Dequan only to learn that His Majesty and the envoy entered the woods, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince came over one step ahead of Weichen, presumably looking for His Majesty in the forest, and wasted some effort."

Xu Rulie's eyebrows flew, and before he could answer, Xiao Huai'an took the first step to speak, and the emperor's attitude was not mentioned for the time being, but he looked at Xiao Huai'an with a little resentment.

"So that's the case, it's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, and my interest in this day is gone, and I won't go anywhere else in the afternoon, so you two go and bring the horses and prepare to go back."

As the king of a country, he is always assassinated, which inevitably makes people doubt the virtue of the national army, and the emperor can still hold back his temper at the moment, which can be regarded as very patient.

"Yes." Xu Rulie and Xiao Huai'an agreed one after another, the emperor's horse was here, and he didn't leave obediently, so Xiao Huai'an reasonably led the horse in the direction where the emperor came, but Xu Rulie was very abruptly in the opposite direction.

Seeing that Xu Rulie was coming from a different direction, the emperor did not show any emotion on his face, but only glanced at it leisurely, "Rulie, your hand is injured, but it is still convenient to ride a horse?" ”

"If you go back to your father's words, your sons will be fine." If he couldn't ride a horse, Xu Rulie naturally couldn't ride the same horse with the emperor, so he could only squeeze together with Xiao Huai'an, but he was afraid that Xu Rulie would rather walk back on foot than make such an arrangement.

Xu Rulie hurriedly agreed, and the emperor did not force much, slowly retracted his gaze, and led a few people out together.

When they returned to the camp, they found that the envoys who were supposed to be with them in the woods had already returned.

The envoys were politely surrounded by the soldiers of Osawa, and the others were all at a loss, and as soon as Yunosuke saw the emperor appear, he immediately greeted him with tears and laughter.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Daze, where have you been, the ministers can't find His Majesty everywhere, but they are really worried."

If the emperor can't return safely, I'm afraid that Dequanhui and the general of the cavalry battalion will all be detained, and life and death are uncertain.

Xiao Huai'an watched coldly from the side, Yunosuke was crying with sincerity, if he hadn't deliberately acted in front of everyone, it would be that he was really wronged in this matter.

Thinking about it, Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then raised his head and swept into the distance, only to see that the row of tents where the queen was, and the ladies inside had already come out to look here.

Su Jiao was also standing between the ladies in a dignified manner, Xiao Huai was a little relieved, and then looked to the side, and saw Xu Ruzhu, who had agreed to travel with Lin Feng, at this moment the two were leading the horse, and they also looked unclear, standing on the flat ground not far from the queen's tent.

The emperor wrinkled his brows, he didn't feel very angry, he had experienced a lot of things like this in his life, but when he came back, he encountered the excitement of Yunosuke's group crying and grabbing the ground, which made him a little unsure of what to do.

"Lord You don't need to be nervous, I'm fine, it's just that I got lost in the woods, fortunately, Rulie and Huai'an came in time."

As soon as these words came out, Yunosuke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the emperor's meaning that he did not intend to tell what had just happened, but to calm things down.

The other two people who were traveling with him just now naturally knew in their hearts that Xiao Huai'an also closed his mouth and didn't say much, while Xu Rulie was on the side, and suddenly covered his elbow and shouted pain at an inopportune time.

"Shhhh

Although the voice was not loud, it was enough for most of the people present to hear it clearly, not to mention that Xu Rulie, who was born as a naturally noble prince, could easily show such a painful expression in front of outsiders.

Dequan suddenly felt bad, and the queen on the opposite side also saw that something was wrong, and with the support of the magpie, she hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty is fine, but what's wrong with the third prince?"

"Rulie." Dequan greeted with concern, just delayed the time, waiting for the queen to come over, the queen held Xu Rulie's right hand with a distressed face, and moved slightly, Xu Rulie couldn't help but gasp, telling her how to do nothing happened.

"Rulie, what's wrong with your hand?"

It's all asked like this, but there is no way to hide it, the emperor coughed, his face was slightly stiff, but he pretended to be fine, and said slowly.

"When I came back, I encountered a trap in the woods, and Rulie accidentally injured his elbow in order to save me, so he quickly called the accompanying imperial doctor to come and take a look at him."

"What? Pitfall?! The queen's brows were tightly twisted together, her face was full of worry, the trap that the emperor encountered, can it be regarded as an ordinary trap, in other words, it is an assassination.

"This, isn't this accompanied by Lord Xiao, how could the third prince be so seriously injured?" The whisk in Dequantuo's hand also stood aside with a sad face, but it was just the right time to mention the key point.

Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an turned his head to look at the emperor and the empress, and had to bow his head again and bow his hand, "Weichen was derelict in his duties, he was one step slower, and the third prince was injured, and he asked His Majesty to surrender." ”

"Huai'an, you have been thoughtful all day long, but today you have revealed such a big mistake, you have to reflect on yourself."

dared to reprimand the queen before she was about to reprimand, the emperor grabbed the conversation first, telling the queen to be unwilling and not easy to talk about.

But after all, Xiao Huai'an's status and prestige in the court are different, and being reprimanded in public like this, even if the emperor's words are not serious, it is considered a shame.

In this way, the ministers who were watching again had different thoughts, but most of them were still gloating with each other.

Although Su Jiao was standing a little farther away, she could also personally understand how embarrassed he should be at the moment, and she couldn't help but feel a feeling of distress in her heart.

"Thank God, God bless the safe return of our emperor, then I don't know Your Majesty, whether the next preparation for the on-site battle of the soldiers will be carried out according to the original plan, or delayed."

Today's events are not to blame on Xiao Huai'an's head, it is enough to be reprimanded by the emperor, De Quan's heart is secretly happy, and he reluctantly speaks out for the time being, which can be regarded as easing the atmosphere here.

"No need, I'm very tired, so these shows will be canceled, rest here, and go back early." The Emperor waved his hand, ignoring the expressions on the faces of the envoys, and entered the tent by himself.

Before he came, he was fine, happily waiting for the performance, but now he is low like this, it is impossible to say that the emperor is not unhappy in his heart.

Yunosuke listened to the emperor's previous words, and didn't understand his temper very well, whether it was directed at himself, but he still felt a trace of weakness in his heart inexplicably, so he didn't dare to say anything, and quietly followed the emperor into the tent together.

In the end, this is only a temporary resting tent, naturally it is impossible to be as spacious and comfortable as the main hall of the palace, and it has to take into account the large number of people, so the emperor can only endure it for the time being.

Dequan weighed the emperor's thoughts, regardless of what the envoys thought for the time being? Respectfully personally serve the emperor a cup of tea, by the way.

"Since Your Majesty has been gracious and canceled the afternoon performance, it's just that Your Majesty is a true dragon emperor, how can you be wronged in this kind of place for an afternoon, not far from here is the second prince's courtyard, can Your Majesty agree to go over and rest for the time being, and by the way, see how the second prince is doing recently."

The emperor picked up the cup, if it weren't for Dequan's reminder, he almost forgot about this stubble, and then remembered that he had an ordinary father-son admiration for Xu Ruyu when he was a child, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and put the cup back.

"Huai'an, arrange for someone to inform, I and the queen will go to Ruyu for the time being."
