Chapter 225: Bee Venom

The neighing of the horses immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Chu also practiced riding and archery in a small way, but after beating him from becoming the prince until he ascended the throne, the national government was busy and naturally there was no opportunity to practice more. The horse that Xiao Xuan was riding was besieged by wild bees, and he ran up like crazy in pain and raised his front hooves and kicked indiscriminately, Emperor Chu didn't have time to react to dodge, and the raised hooves just kicked the abdomen of Emperor Chu's horse, and the horse was suddenly frightened and ran forward frantically.

At this time, even if Emperor Chu tightened the reins in his hand and wanted to control his horses, he found that it did not work at all.

And the wild bees chasing behind everyone were still menacing and chasing after them, but fortunately, the accompanying pennant guards had immediately released a signal for help when the situation was sudden.

Xiao Xuan's horses were like crazy headless flies in the forest, the forest was full of trees, Xiao Xuan couldn't care about the wild bees behind him, so he could only use all his strength to grab the reins in his hand. Now that the situation is chaotic, if she is really thrown off the horse at this moment, I am afraid that she will really die under the horse's hooves.

Soon the rescue arrived, and the guards who had been stationed in the paddock all year round had their own means of dealing with wild bees. They rode at a gallop, each holding a lit branch in his hand, and after the branch was burned, a slightly choking pungent smell accompanied by a burst of smoke, and the wild bees that had been fighting for a long time finally gradually dispersed.

Xiao Jin urged the horse to chase after Emperor Chu, and together with the people who came, he finally stopped the horse that was running away due to injury.

After the horses were finally controlled, Xiao Jin and the others dismounted as soon as possible and helped Emperor Chu, who had lost his strength, to get off the horse.

"Where's Xuan'er?" Xiao Jin's earnest words to ask Emperor Chu if he was okay had not yet been spoken, and Emperor Chu, who had not completely recovered, looked for Xiao Xuan everywhere as soon as possible. "Where's the Xuan'er people?"

At this time, Emperor Chu, who was heavily guarded by everyone, noticed that not only Xiao Xuan had lost his trace, but even Xiao Jun was gone.

Xiao Xuan's horse was injured and went off the rails like crazy, but by mistake avoided the crazy attack of the wild bees, but at the moment, Xiao Xuan's situation was not alleviated.

Not only had her horses been attacked by wild bees, but she had also been stung in several places. She was delicate, and she had been holding on to the crazy horse for a long time, and she was gradually unable to support it.

But the horses still ran wildly, and instead of the manicured roads in the woods, they went deeper into the forest.

Her face was wounded by a branch by the side of the road, and she had to bow her head to the side of the horse's neck. She had no control over her horses at the moment, and she could barely keep herself from being thrown off the horse.

Xiao Jun saw that the rescued people arrived, and there were people around Emperor Chu who rescued him as soon as possible, so he immediately changed direction and chased Xiao Xuan without the slightest hesitation.

However, Xiao Xuan's horse was originally a good horse specially selected by Emperor Chu for Xiao Xuan, and in a frightened state, the escape route was completely chaotic, and later entered the depths of the dense forest, the trees were luxuriant, and it was even more difficult to walk, and soon after he lost his trace of Xiao Xuan in front of his eyes.

At this time, Emperor Chu had been rescued safely, and he was safe and sound, and at this time, he was even more worried about Xiao Xuan, who was missing.

Xiao Jin stayed by Emperor Chu's side every step of the way, and when he saw this, he immediately arranged for all the pennant guards and paddock guards who could be mobilized at the moment to scatter and go to find Xiao Xuan's traces.

Emperor Chu is old in the end, and after encountering such a thing for no reason, he is very weak.

"Father, let the pennant guard escort you back to the camp to rest first." Xiao Jin took the initiative to say. "Erchen and his younger brothers continued to stay behind to search for their sister's traces."

Xiao Rui and Xiao Lang hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go back first." Emperor Chu knew that it would be useless for him to stay, but he had to be taken care of, so he could go back and send more people to search for Xiao Xuan, who had lost his traces. "You must get Xuan'er back as soon as possible."

"Yes, my son obeys."

Duan Shaolan, who was easy to catch up, met Xiao Jun halfway through his search for Xiao Xuan.

"His Royal Highness King Yi, where is the princess?" Duan Shaolan saw Xiao Jun and hurriedly drove forward to ask where Xiao Xuan was.

"Xuan'er's horse is frightened, and now I don't know where the crazy run has gone." Xiao Jun pointed to the depths of the dense forest and said to him. "The horse was running so fast that I couldn't catch up with it, except that it was running in this direction. Xuan'er's riding and archery skills are somewhat, but I don't know how long she can last in such a situation. ”

The obstacles in the depths of the dense forest gradually increased, and there were no wild bees chasing behind him, and the horses under Xiao Xuan slowly calmed down after running wildly for a long time.

It's just that Xiao Xuan's condition is not so good, her arms and neck were attacked by wild bees, and with the impact of the horses when they fled, the bee venom that entered the blood from the wound began to attack. Her vision was blurry, and even the nearby branches melted into a smoke-like shape in her eyes, and she began to have tinnitus and night sweats, and her limbs twitched with these symptoms.

She lay on the horse's back and gasped weakly, and finally could no longer support her body, and fell from the horse, but fortunately the ground was very thick in the dense forest, and she did not suffer much impact when she fell to the ground.

But Rao is like this, where has Xiao Xuan, who is delicate and expensive, suffered such a hardship, coupled with the bee venom attack, she fell on the ground and couldn't even make a sound for help, and finally lost consciousness and fainted.

Xiao Jun and Duan Shaolan searched together for a long time, and the sharp-eyed Xiao Jun suddenly found Xiao Xuan's horse in the forest.

Although the horse was found, it was empty. Fortunately, they searched around and found Xiao Xuan in a coma not far away.

Duan Shaolan immediately dismounted, he came to Xiao Xuan's side and carefully flipped Xiao Xuan's body over. I saw that her face was as white as gold paper, her hair bun had long been disorganized, her sideburns were soaked with sweat, and her face was covered with various small wounds. Duan Shaolan checked carefully, fortunately, she didn't have any obvious external injuries, and her bones were fine, but there were many wild bee bite wounds on her arms and neck, and her eyes were already red and swollen.

"How's Xuan'er?" When Xiao Jun saw Xiao Xuan's appearance, she almost fell to the ground with weak legs, and finally steadied herself and staggered over.

"There are no obvious injuries on the princess, and she must have fallen off the horse after the horse had calmed down." Duan Shaolan has served in the Banner Guard for many years, and he is more proficient in the current unexpected situation. "It's just that she's always been frail, and bee venom is probably a problem."

"Then let's take her back quickly, I remember that because wild bees used to hurt people in the paddock, the imperial doctor who accompanied him should have brought medicine to understand bee venom." Xiao Jun said. "Xuan'er's appearance, we can only rest assured after the doctor's diagnosis."

Duan Shaolan nodded, and carefully picked Xiao Xuan up from the ground. It's just that he was afraid that Xiao Xuan would suffer internal injuries, so he didn't dare to take Xiao Xuan back to the camp on horseback.

"The princess should not be too bumpy at the moment, and ask His Royal Highness King Yi to find the carriage first, and I will carry her and walk out slowly."

"Okay, you take her slowly, I'll go and call someone over." Xiao Jun didn't dare to delay, hurriedly trotted all the way, rode his horse and went out to call someone.

The news that Xiao Xuan was found was immediately reported to Emperor Chu.

"Xuan'er got it back?" Hearing the news, the imperial doctor beside him was treating his wounds, and Emperor Chu stood up suddenly. "Is she hurt?"

"The princess has been sent back to the camp by the horses." Wu Chuan was sent by Emperor Chu to Xiao Xuan's tent to wait for news, and when he saw Xiao Xuan coming back, Wu Chuan personally ran back to report the news. "It's just that the princess is in a coma right now, and the waiting imperial doctor is treating the princess."

When Xiao Xuan woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Duan Shaolan lying beside the bed.

Duan Shaolan crouched beside her as if she was extremely tired and fell asleep, Xiao Xuan rolled her eyes, and happened to meet the eyes of Lu Lin who came in with a bowl of decoction.

"Princess!" Green Forest shouted in surprise.

Duan Shaolan was awakened by the loud voice of the green forest, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Xuan who had already opened his eyes.

"You're finally awake." Duan Shaolan was relieved, his eyes were uncontrollably sore, and he almost burst into tears.

When Xiao Xuan was brought back, the imperial doctors and medical women who had been waiting in her tent quickly stepped forward to take over and began to diagnose and treat her wounds.

Fortunately, Xiao Xuan's situation was not much different from Duan Shaolan's initial judgment, Xiao Xuan did not have any serious external and internal injuries, most of them were minor skin injuries. Immediately after the imperial physician retreated, the two medicine women took off her embarrassed riding clothes, first peeled off the stinging needles left by the wild bees in the wound, and then squeezed and pressed the wound to expel the residual venom until the new red blood was squeezed out, and finally applied the ointment to remove the poison.

Just let the two medical women treat the wounds and change into new clothes, Xiao Xuan always closed her eyes tightly and did not wake up.

The imperial doctor said that Xiao Xuan was weak and suddenly frightened, and her body was sensitive to bee venom, so she remained unconscious. At the moment, I was afraid that the external ointment would not have much effect on her, so in addition to the decoction that calmed the nerves, I also prescribed a prescription for detoxification and ordered someone to prepare it.

Xiao Xuan saw Duan Shaolan crying, her heart couldn't help but feel sour, she blinked her eyes, and also shed tears.

"Alright, alright." Duan Shaolan hurriedly sat up straight and coaxed her softly. "We're back, we're fine."

Xiao Xuan stretched out his hands to him, Duan Shaolan understood, put his hands behind her back, and carefully hugged her. Xiao Xuan rested his head on his shoulder and wept silently, tears quickly soaking his clothes.

Duan Shaolan didn't speak, but gently put his palm on her back and stroked back and forth to soothe her emotions.
