Chapter 181
But what they didn't expect was that this scene happened to be seen by Xiaolian, the palace maid of the Imperial Garden.
Xiaolian happened to be on duty in the jungle, and happened to see the aunt on duty replace Princess Wangshu's arrow box.
Then Xiaolian followed, saw Aunt Xu Lan of Minghuatang, and witnessed the killing of the aunt on duty and the body taken out of the palace.
Xiaolian opened her mouth in surprise, for fear that her voice would make Aunt Xu Lan find out, and hurriedly ran back to the imperial garden.
Xiaolian was very confused in her heart, she didn't know Concubine Ming's methods, if she knew that she had eavesdropped, she was afraid that she would die without a place to bury.
But Xiaolian thought that what Concubine Ming wanted to harm must be Her Royal Highness the Princess and Princess Jing, Her Royal Highness the Princess is kind, and last time it was clear that she killed Miss Jiang Yi because of herself, but the princess was mellow and didn't blame herself much.
Xiaolian knew the kindness of the princess and the princess, but she was forced by Concubine Ming, so she didn't dare to remind the princess.
After thinking about it again and again, Xiaolian thought about helping the princess and the princess, although she didn't know what Concubine Ming was planning, but she reminded her that she had some precautions.
Thinking like this, Xiaolian found an opportunity to sneak into the jungle hunting ground in the Imperial Garden.

At this point, the game has already begun.
On the stands, there are many ladies and ladies and messengers who watch the excitement, and the jungle is full of many heroic warriors, each of whom can fight well, and the women do not let the eyebrows be shaved, which is one of the highlights of this competition.
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu stood side by side, waiting for the ceremonial officer to give orders.
"Oops! I can't wait! Qi Wangshu looked excitedly at the small hammer in the hand of the ceremonial officer, expecting it to ring the bell quickly.
She didn't realize that her arrow box had been replaced at this moment, and she looked at her father and mother on the stage excitedly, expecting that she could get good results in front of them.
After Qi Bingyu participated in the festival, he discussed important matters with several important envoys from neighboring countries in the Qinzheng Palace, and several courtiers also accompanied them to discuss, until the hunt was ready to begin, they sat back in the stands one by one, ready to enjoy the wonderful program prepared for them by Mei Guifei.
Qi Bingyu sat Xia Rongxin and Lu Huiling beside him, and the two highest-ranking concubines sat beside the emperor on the left and right, accompanying him to enjoy this prosperous scene together.
Some courtiers and envoys who had previously attended the Chinese New Year's Eve feast of the Celestial Empire saw Lu Huiling, and thought that Empress Mingxian had reincarnated in the past, and couldn't help but be surprised.
They hadn't seen Lu Huiling, but they had all seen Lu Fushuang, the woman who had once made Qi Bingyu pampered, and after her death, the whole country grieved, and other neighboring countries also came to visit after receiving the news.
Lu Fushuang's status in Qi Bingyu's heart is obvious to all in the world.
I thought that after so many years, Qi Bingyu had three thousand weak waters around him, and there were countless beauties, and I thought that the emperor of the Heavenly Empire could slowly forget the dead queen.
Now he saw a woman who looked like Lu Fushuang sitting beside him, but the back seat has been idle, and the people of the world know that the emperor is very affectionate and has surpassed ordinary emperors.
Everyone is looking at Lu Huiling, but Lu Huiling's eyes are staring at Qi Wangshu all the time, as long as he waits for the bell of the ceremonial officer to ring, then Qi Wangshu will definitely shoot the first arrow, and it is not Liang Huanqing who hits in time, it is someone else, as long as she can destroy this feast, then half of her purpose will be achieved.
In this, she did not participate in any links, everything was done by the nobleman, and the nobleman would not be so stupid to confess to her in order to protect his family.
The aunt on duty in the imperial garden was also killed by Lu Chen and taken out of the palace, and she had already ensured that nothing went wrong, and she only needed to sit on the side and reap the benefits of the fisherman after a while.
After today's Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow's harem will go to her Lu Huiling's world, and at that time, when the emperor is seriously ill, it is natural for her to support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
"Lu Huiling is watching you." Liang Huanqing is bored, always looking left and right, hoping to see his familiar figure.
But now on the stands, Liang Fengmian and Liang Lian, who were supposed to sit on it, were unable to attend because of official business, and Liang Huanqing felt a little lost in his heart.
inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Huiling, who should have looked indifferently at Concubine Ming in front of her, but her eyes were always inseparable from Qi Wangshu's figure.
Qi Wangshu turned to look over, and saw that Lu Huiling was really staring at him intently, so he waved his fist twice in a wicked way to show his threat.
"Humph! Shameless woman! Qi Wangshu didn't believe that Lu Huiling could still do anything at the banquet that her mother personally handled, so she didn't care.
Qi Wangshu couldn't forget how Lu Huiling killed Jiang Yi that day, and he couldn't forget how she made her mother depressed, she already hated Lu Huiling, but now she is even more disgusted.
Lu Huiling saw that they found out that he was looking at them, so he turned his head and laughed secretly in his heart: Now these two people are still in the dark, it's really ridiculous.
"Bell-bell-bell-"
Three mixed bells rang, and an unprecedented grand game of dabbling began, with a burst of cheers in the stands, and the participants in the jungle were full of energy and enthusiasm.
"Huanqing, let's run!" Qi Wangshu pulled Liang Huanqing and was about to run into the jungle.
The jungle is full of many palace maids and eunuchs in case of emergency.
Seeing that several ladies around him shot feather arrows and sent blessings, Qi Wangshu was also itching in his heart.
Because of the competition system, they must also shoot all the feather arrows, and the first to shoot and the one with the most arrows on their bodies wins, which requires teamwork to complete.
"Huanqing, you run first, I'll shoot you an arrow in the back first!" Qi Wangshu said to Liang Huanqing, and quickly let go of her hand.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the jungle are not all here to guard, but also to monitor the rules of the game, and they can't agree with each other for the purpose of deliberately releasing arrows and deliberately blocking arrows, so Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing decided to take a false shot first, so that Liang Huanqing was the first to be hit by the arrow, and Qi Wangshu could finish one of his feather arrows.
Because I didn't know these ladies and ladies well, everyone present started with people I knew well.
"Your Majesty, look at the two children, Wangshu and Huanqing, they are really energetic." On the stage, Xia Rongxin raised her hand and pointed to the two agile figures in the forest, and said to Qi Bingyu.
Qi Bingyu nodded and smiled, today is a happy day, his mood is as warm as the warm sun in winter, he looked in the direction of Xia Rongxin's finger, and then nodded and laughed: "Wangshu and Huanqing reminded me of the time when I was young and Fengmian went autumn hunting together, it was really good at that time, the Haiyan River is clear, and the mountains and rivers are clear." ”
"General Liang will definitely return triumphantly, and at that time, the emperor can have another hunt with General Liang." Xia Rongxin said with a smile.
"Fengmian and Qin'er will return triumphantly, it has long been predestined, but at that time, I don't know if I have the energy to hunt with Fengmian hahahaha." Qi Bingyu touched his gray beard and laughed at himself.
"The emperor said nonsense, this big festival, don't say such unlucky things." Listening to such rude and playful words, she knew that it was Lu Huiling as soon as she heard it, she took Qi Bingyu's hand and said with a smile, "My father is still waiting to have time to talk to the emperor." ”
"Yes, yes, when the government affairs are a little free, I will definitely talk to Gao Hongshou about a game." Qi Bingyu is very happy now, and the names of the courtiers are also evoked.
Xia Rongxin saw Lu Huiling interjecting, obviously a little unhappy, so she turned around and stopped talking, and looked at the hunting competition seriously.
Xue Guiren sat at the back, in fact, she couldn't really see the scene on the field, she was silent, silent with Ah Xun, and the excited concubines around her were out of place, and she slowly counted down in her heart.
One, two, three.
It's coming, it's coming, and she can exchange her own life for the well-being of the whole family.
If Qi Bingyu can be allowed to look at her again before she dies, whether it is good or bad, it will not be in vain.
Guiren has always known that she was elected to the palace because her mouth looks like Empress Mingxian, but she really fell in love with Qi Bingyu because he was Qi Bingyu, even if he never looked at him for a moment.
I'm afraid that so far, he doesn't remember that in his harem, there is also a noble man named Yin Xu, who lives in the desolate Lanyuan Pavilion and spends the rest of his life.

Xiaolian went into the jungle with the team of palace maids, and waited inside to meet Princess Wangshu so that she could tell her about the exchange of the arrow box.
Xiaolian didn't know what the arrow box had been replaced with, and she didn't dare to say too much, so she had to try her best to tell the princess what she saw, thinking that the princess was also reasonable, and even if something happened, she shouldn't blame herself much.
Xiaolian's position is in the middle of the jungle, and she can't intercept the princess at the entrance of the jungle for a while, she is especially afraid that Princess Wangshu will release the first arrow in a hurry, if it is really like Xiaolian thinks in her heart, it will be bad.
Xiaolian heard three thick bells and heard the cheers boiling outside, and then realized that the game had begun.
She swallowed her saliva, her eyes were firmly fixed on the front, she couldn't walk away at will, she could only hope to see the princess at a glance, she didn't want such a good princess to have an accident.
But if she went directly to Mei Guifei, she was afraid that she would be driven out because of her gossip, after all, Mei Guifei had been checking for so long, and it was impossible for her to believe that she could make a mistake.
Just when Xiaolian was looking anxiously, suddenly, she saw Liang Huanqing's figure running with a smile, she was holding a bow in one hand and pulling the arrow box of feather arrows in the other.
"Princess-princess-" Xiaolian couldn't help but shout anxiously, but the sound of gongs and drums shook the world, and none of them could hear what Xiaolian was shouting, even the palace maid standing on the side couldn't hear clearly.
