"Take it."

Princess Xinyang handed a small red short cannon to Jiang Xi, "This is Xinming, if you encounter danger or get lost in the forest, pull it." ”

"It's still the princess who thinks thoughtfully, thank you princess." Jiang Xi smiled and stuffed Xinming into his arms, and simply changed into a hunting boy costume that was easy to move around, and followed Princess Xinyang and the others to the hunting ground.

It was almost noon, and all the participants were ready, and everyone sat on the hunting horses, and when the eunuch sounded the gong, they rode their horses into the dense forest. After half a cup of tea, it was the time when the hunting boys entered the forest, Jiang Xifang stepped into the forest, heard the sound of the wind between the trees, and the neighing of beasts, and then startled the birds on the branches.

She suddenly felt panicked, and carefully searched for the prey shot by Princess Xinyang in the forest, about the first time the princess participated in the hunt and did not seize the opportunity, Jiang Xi walked in the forest for a long time and did not see her results, but attracted the attack of a wild boar.

"Help——!"

Jiang Xi said something to the wild boar, and the big brother pig spared his life, but the big brother pig didn't appreciate it at all, and rushed over with a pair of fangs. She screamed in fright and ran backwards, finding the boar in hot pursuit. The deaf pigeon, who was observing her in the dark, was about to make a move, but found that she had caught a tree and climbed up without any ambiguity.

The boar slammed into the tree in anger, and after a few hits/hits failed to shake her off, she changed her target and walked away. Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to come down, only to find that he had climbed too high in a hurry, and it was easy to go up the tree and difficult to count.

Jiang Xi was hung in the air, it was impossible to get down the tree, seeing that he was closer to the trunk, he simply climbed up and sat on it and waited for someone to pass by. She waited for a while, and found that there was no half of a figure, and she was about to touch the letter after too much time, but she heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

When the person riding a horse in the miasma approached, Jiang Xi was pleasantly surprised to find that the person who came turned out to be Meng Sihong.

"Master Meng!"

Her cheerful shout made Meng Sihong stop his horse suddenly, and he recognized that it was Jiang Xi when he heard the voice, and hurriedly looked around.

Jiang Xi waved his hand and was about to shout again, when his eyes saw that a person was driving a horse not far away, and that person was aiming an arrow and a bow at Meng Sihong's back.

What shocked Jiang Xi even more was that the person holding the arrow was Xiao Siyu!

"Be careful——!

Jiang Xi exclaimed in shock, as soon as the two words blurted out, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind, because of her reminder, Meng Sihong had the illusion that she had an accident and hurriedly searched for it, and she didn't even notice that she was suffering from the enemy in the back.

Jiang Xi exclaimed, but he couldn't make a sound, and watched as the arrow shot into Meng Sihong's body. The end of the arrow was quenched with poison, but after a while, Meng Sihong felt angry, and fell off the horse holding the middle arrow.

Xiao Siyu sneered and rode away.

No!

Jiang Xi screamed in his heart, biting the hand covering his mouth hard, and the person behind him snorted and immediately grabbed her waist and took her to the ground.

"My lord, Lord Meng!"

She was not surprised to find out that the people who covered her voice were deaf pigeons, they had always been good all the way. But at this moment, Jiang Xi couldn't care about this, and jumped on his knees and fell to Meng Sihong, who was still on the ground, and found that his face was pale, his lips were black, and his breath was weak.

Jiang Xi couldn't wake him up, so he had to beg the deaf pigeon: "Deaf guard, please help me save him, even if you help him out of the forest." ”

The deaf pigeon originally intended to mend the knife, and she shouldn't even be allowed to see the process of Xiao Siyu's attack, but it can be seen that she was so anxious that her eyes were red from crying, so she put away her sword and turned around to leave.

"Deaf guard!"

Jiang Xi pounced on him and hugged his legs, "Please, he's dying, please!" ”

"No ......"

The deaf pigeon clenched his sword, shook off the shackles on his legs, walked straight to Meng Sihong's horse, drew his sword and cut the horse's neck. He cut off her hope of being able to transport Meng Sihong, and then flew away and disappeared into the dense forest miscellaneous.

Jiang Xi watched him disappear hopelessly, and even forgot the letter in her arms under the excessive sadness, and after she told herself to calm down, she quickly took out the letter and pulled the lead. A spark shot into the dense forest sky, exploding with a sharp sound.

"Your Excellency, if you hold on, someone will definitely come to us."

Jiang Xi kept talking, and he didn't know whether to comfort him or comfort himself, but the rescue would be delayed and the treatment would be delayed, Jiang Xi gritted his teeth and picked him up and carried him on his back. The strength of the adult man was so heavy that she suddenly knelt on her knees, she immediately held the ground with her hands to prevent Meng Sihong from falling, used all her strength to stand up on her knees, bit her lip and carried him towards the entrance of the forest.

When Jiang Xi was about to run out of strength, he finally waited for the rescue, and it was a few eunuchs.

Because the injured person was Meng Sihong, the eunuchs did not dare to delay, and hurriedly carried him to the direction of the camp.

"Quick! Master Meng has been shot! ”

The eunuch shouted as he ran, and for a while everyone gathered around, and even Concubine Duan, who was playing chess with the emperor, ran out when she heard the sound. Because the hunt was nearing the end, Xiao Siyu had already returned to the camp early, watching Meng Sihong being carried into the medicine tent, and seeing Jiang Xi being pulled and limping to follow, he couldn't help but look back and stare at the deaf pigeon.

"The end will be unfavorable."

The deaf pigeon bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Xiao Siyu didn't have the leisure to punish the crime now, and strode into the medicine tent. The doctors were trying their best to treat them, and the hot water wound medicine was sent in repeatedly, and the doctors cut open Meng Sihong's clothes and found that the middle arrow was black, and they couldn't help but be shocked, "Poisonous!" ”

"There are words on the arrow, as if it were ...... Lord Wei Chen's. ”

While the doctors were scrambling to heal, someone spotted the inscription on the end of the arrow. Those who participate in the Mulan Hunt will be given feathered arrows branded with their names.

The emperor was in no mood to care about the real murderer for the time being, so he asked the imperial doctor: "What kind of poison may it be?" ”

The Imperial Physician nodded, and several people pulled out the feather arrow with blood, and quickly went to verify the name of the poison. Not long after, a slightly younger imperial doctor ran in and knelt on the ground to report: "Back to Your Majesty, is it ...... Sting. ”

"Is there an antidote?" Concubine Duan clenched the handkerchief in her hand and asked anxiously, but when she saw that the imperial doctor wanted to speak and stopped, she finally looked at the emperor, bent down and said: "This poison enters the blood vein very quickly, and it needs to be removed as soon as possible." There is only one thing that can be solved for today's plan, and that is the withered moon. ”

The withered moon flower is a good antidote to Loulan's tribute in the early years, which is rare in the world. The only person in the Great Yan Kingdom who owns this thing is the current emperor. But such a precious thing has always been used to escort the dragon's body when it is suddenly sick.

Concubine Duan didn't dare to ask the emperor to give up, so she asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Time is of the essence, and this is the only thing. And in order for the moon withered flowers to exert their medicinal effects, they need to be fused with Qingjia grass to nourish and bloom in vivo. This living creature must withstand the fierce poison of Qingjia grass and endure the unbearable suffering of ordinary people. ”

The method that the imperial doctor said was terrifying to listen to, especially after the emperor allowed the moon to wither flowers, he looked at each other, lest he be caught as a medicine. The emperor pointed to a group of palace female eunuchs standing in the medicine tent, "Imperial doctor, go find the living, be sure to save the meritorious man!" ”

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they fell to the ground, crying and begging, Concubine Duan couldn't bear to see the emperor killing innocents indiscriminately, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, Sihong's lifelong ambition is to protect the family and the country, to guard the country and protect the people of dawn for Your Majesty." Now if he recklessly disregards human life because of saving him, the concubine believes that Sihong will not be willing to die. ”

"Can you bear to lose your brother, and you can bear to lose a loyal general!"

"The concubine understands her younger brother, so I implore Your Majesty to think twice!"

Concubine Duan was sad and grief-stricken, and although she said this sentence sonorously, her eyes were full of tears. For a while, the crying and begging in the medicine tent came and went, Xiao Siyu looked at this scene, and her lips outlined a small arc with satisfaction.

He turned around and dragged Jiang Xi, who was crowded at the door of the medicine tent, and dragged people out of the tent despite her struggles. Jiang Xi wrenched the restraint on his hand hard, and saw that it was useless, so he lowered his head and bit his hand fiercely, and Xiao Siyu, who was in pain, suddenly let go and glared at her: "Presumptuous!" ”

Jiang Xi gasped and looked at him with resentment, he looked at her quietly for a while, and when he heard the crying sound in the medicine tent, he couldn't help but feel good: "Okay, the master is in a good mood today, and he doesn't know you like a minion." ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

Jiang Xi looked at his back, remembered the scene that happened in the forest, and couldn't help clenching his fists and said, "Won't Your Highness be upset!" ”

He paused, and heard Jiang Xi continue: "The minions have all seen it in the forest, the arrows belong to Lord Wei, but the person who shoots the arrows is His Highness." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Siyu stared back at her with a cold face, and her anger was obvious, like a beast in the woods/about to roar, breaking her into pieces. Jiang Xi's breathing tightened, and he was so timid that he gave way to take half a step back, but thinking of Meng Sihong's current situation, he couldn't help but clench his fists and straighten his back to look at him.

"You ......"

Xiao Siyu approached step by step, her face showed a fierce light, and Jiang Xi didn't retreat, but her voice was inevitably violent/revealing fear, "Your Highness, is this going to kill the minions?" It's not a pity for a slave to die, but it will definitely not die in your hands, and the slave will make his death worthwhile! ”

After she finished speaking, Xiao Siyu reacted to what she wanted to do, and strode over to obstruct it, but it was still a step too late. Jiang Xi rushed back to the medicine tent that was crying and begging, brushed open the tent curtain, and said loudly: "The slave is willing!" ”

Everyone in the tent looked back at her, Jiang Xi stepped forward with a firm face, knelt down in front of Concubine Duan and the emperor and begged for his life: "The slave is willing to test the medicine to nourish the withered moon flower and save Lord Meng." ”

Xiao Siyu chased in and heard her desperate request, and immediately turned red with anger. The emperor and the concubine were both shocked by this minion, why did a palace maid who was willing to risk her life suddenly appear?

In order to ensure that he was sincere, the imperial physician said the tragic process of testing the medicine, "When the Qingjia grass enters the body, you will have to taste the pain of the five internal organs, and this severe pain needs to last for two hours before you can feed the moon withering with your blood. If you can't stand this pain, and you can't get through it and you lose your breath, you're losing all your efforts. Little girl, have you thought about it? ”

"Father!"

Xiao Siyu stepped forward to stop the emperor, wanting to stop this tragedy, but as soon as he spoke, Jiang Xi made up his mind and kowtowed and replied: "The slave is willing!" ”
