Chapter 206: Hunting Accident
"Grandpa Huang, Concubine Xian plans to kill Concubine Jing during the hunt." Liuhe came to the imperial study and reported to Huang Gonggong in a low voice. Gonggong Huang was a little surprised: "Directly get rid of Concubine Jing?" Liuhe nodded: "Yes, Concubine Xian thinks that it was Concubine Jing who disrupted her plan, so she had to get rid of Concubine Jing first, and then deal with the queen." Huang Gonggong nodded: "Then how does she plan to get rid of it?" Liuhe whispered: "The slave has told Concubine Xian Guifei according to what Gonggong Huang said, Concubine Jing is pregnant and does not let the outside world know, then Concubine Jing will definitely go hunting, and when the time comes, in the paddock, Concubine Xian will arrange for the killer to shoot Concubine Jing to death with arrows." "Such a means, only the virtuous concubine would think of it." Huang Gonggong shook his head. "Concubine Xian has always been well-arranged, killers are all dead soldiers, and if they don't succeed, they will commit suicide, and no one can find out the real culprit behind the scenes." Liuhe whispered.
"How does the virtuous concubine contact those killers?" Gonggong Huang asked with a frown. Liuhe said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian will write letters by herself, but a letter will use several fonts, and they are all completely different from her usual handwriting, even if you check it, you can't find anything." Huang Gonggong nodded: "Sure enough, it's foolproof." Liuhe took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is a letter from Concubine Xian and her father, although the letter is homely, it hides a mystery. "Father-in-law Huang looked at the letter, nothing special." I have copied it as it is. Look at these places: except, quiet, concubine. Rokuho pointed to specific locations in the letter. Gonggong Huang looked at it, and sure enough, it was three words, except for Jing Concubine. "What does that mean?" Huang Gonggong was a little puzzled. "You see, at the end of every letter, there is a date, and this date is to tell her father what she wants to say. ”
Huang Gonggong looked at the date twice, and sure enough, he saw the doorway. "I see, and that can be used as evidence." Huang Gonggong was a little happy. Liuhe shook his head: "The slave checked all the letters, and found that not every one of them was available, but only a few specific ones, if this point of reference is used, I am afraid it will be useless." Huang Gonggong sighed: "This virtuous concubine's scheming and alertness are really unbelievable." Liuhe nodded: "So, the slave has a plan, I don't know if it can succeed." Huang Gonggong was a little curious: "Oh? Let's hear it. So, Liuhe whispered in Huang Gonggong's ear, and Huang Gonggong smiled and gave Liuhe a thumbs up: "This plan is very good, let the old slave go back to the emperor." Liuhe saluted: "Wait for the good news." ”
Soon, it was time for the hunt. The emperor took the harem concubines to the hunting ground. The concubines, who liked to ride horses, wore veils and rode horses in the hunting grounds. The concubines, who did not like to ride horses, gathered in the tent to drink tea and chat. Although Ouyang Tong likes to ride horses, she is pregnant now and can't go out to run, and there are important things to do this hunting. The emperor took the prince and the ministers out hunting, and now this camp is the world of the harem women. In Concubine Xian's tent, Concubine Xian asked in a low voice, "Everything has been arranged?" Liuhe replied in a low voice: "It's all arranged." Concubine Xian nodded: "Then just lead Concubine Jing to go." Liuhe whispered in the ear of the virtuous concubine: "As long as it is said that there are rare flowers there, she will definitely go." Concubine Xian nodded: "Let's go, go to the queen's tent with the palace to drink tea." Liuhe saluted: "Yes." ”
Concubine Xian carefully looked for Ouyang Tong in the camp tent, only to find that Ouyang Tong was sitting in the corner eating melons and fruits seriously. The virtuous concubine walked to a table in front of Ouyang Tong and sat down, intentionally or unintentionally joining the conversation of the concubines. "This hunting ground, this palace has been here many times." Concubine Xian found the right to speak and said lightly. "You sisters may not know that there is a small river in the southeast corner of this hunting ground, and the woods by the river are full of all kinds of strange flowers and plants, which I have never seen before." Concubine Xian pretended to recall. "There is a kind of flower that smells particularly reassuring, so the palace picked a lot, dried it and made it into a sachet, and put it under the pillow at night, so that you can sleep peacefully all night." Concubine Xian took out the sachet, poured some dried flowers in the sachet in her hand, and showed it to the concubines. "It really smells good." A concubine sniffed it and said approvingly.
Ouyang Tong put down the snack in his hand, got up and walked out. Concubine Xiangui saw Ouyang Tong go out, the corners of her mouth raised, and then, she talked to the other concubines casually. Ouyang Tong never came back. Concubine Xian has been sitting in the tent chatting with the concubines, and sent Liuhe out to find out the news. After a while, the emperor came back from hunting, walked to the tent, and the first thing he said was: "Concubine Jing, look, the little rabbit you like, I caught a live one for you." "All the concubines are a little envious of Concubine Jing, who can be so loved by the emperor. However, everyone did not see Jing Concubine for a long time. "Where's Jing Concubine?" The emperor couldn't see Concubine Jing, and he seemed to be very unhappy in his heart. "Xu is going back to sleep, and the concubine will go to find her." Concubine De saluted, and hurriedly went to find Ouyang Tong. "Your Majesty, let's take a sip of tea first." The virtuous concubine poured a cup of tea and brought it to the emperor, who took the tea, glanced at the virtuous concubine, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, and put the tea aside.
Concubine Xian's fists tightened, but then she said with a smile: "The emperor is in a hurry when he can't see Concubine Jing." The emperor put the cage of the rabbit at his feet, and said with a smile: "Not really, but this rabbit is very cute, I want to show her earlier." As she was talking, Concubine De hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is not in the tent." The emperor got up: "How can it not be in the account?" Concubine De knelt on the ground: "And Yue'er and Xiaoxiao are nowhere to be found." The emperor frowned: "Quick, send someone to find it." "Yes." Huang Gonggong saluted and hurriedly went to find someone. Both inside and outside the camp searched carefully, but still did not find the figure of Jing Concubine. The emperor was a little anxious, and sent more people to expand the scope of the search.
Until the evening, Wu Jincheng hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing has been found." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, go and call her quickly, I want to see her." Wu Jincheng's face was ugly, and he was a little embarrassed: "This, I'm afraid~" The emperor felt that something was wrong: "I have something to say." Wu Jincheng knelt on the ground, trembling: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing and Concubine Jing's two personal maids have all died in the woods. The emperor looked incredulous, and the concubines were also shocked. How can it be? The emperor muttered. Take me to her. The emperor said with grief. Wu Jincheng got up and took the emperor to the woods, and the queen, Concubine De and Concubine Xian followed the emperor to the woods.
From a distance, the emperor saw Ouyang Tong lying in a pool of blood, and the queen and Concubine De were also panicked, and hurriedly ran to Ouyang Tong's side to check Ouyang Tong's situation. The emperor walked to Ouyang Tong's side, took off Ouyang Tong's veil, confirmed Ouyang Tong's identity, and then put on the veil for Ouyang Tong, and asked coldly, "What's going on?" Wu Jincheng replied seriously: "When the minions arrived here, the three of their masters and servants had already been killed by arrows. "Random arrows? Where did the arrows come from? The emperor asked with a frown. Wu Jincheng replied: "The slave checked the surroundings, and it seems that someone was ambushed and shot Jing Concubine and the others. ”
The emperor sneered: "In the royal hunting ground, there are actually people who ambush and shoot concubines? Is patrolling the hunting grounds all child's play? Wu Jincheng knelt on the ground with a plop: "It's all the dereliction of duty of his subordinates, please punish the emperor." The emperor laughed with tears: "Hahahaha~ Dereliction of duty? Punish? Can these be exchanged for the people I love? After speaking, the emperor picked up Ouyang Tong, who was already dead, and walked to the camp tent step by step sadly. Everyone slowly followed behind the emperor, and they all looked extremely sad. There is only the virtuous concubine, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth seems to be unable to hide. "Ouyang Tong, this is all self-inflicted, you can't complain about me, you and the child in your belly, you will not know who killed you." Concubine Xian was secretly proud in her heart.
