Then he hugged Lin Yuan tightly: "Yuan'er, it is your great fortune that you did not run out with others, so that you can save the fetus in your womb." ”

Lin Yuan just smiled lightly: "What the emperor said is that concubines are more afraid of those who flee for their lives than poisonous snakes." Running into the flower beds can avoid snakes if you are careful, but it is difficult for people to avoid them. ”

said that he seemed to think of something, and said: "Since the concubine is fine, the emperor should not worry too much." Compared with the concubines, I just heard from the palace people that Ye Guiji and several concubines are missing, so the emperor should look for it quickly. ”

Tuoba Hong then remembered this stubble, but fortunately, an attendant had already gone to look for it, and at this time, the two inner supervisors carried a stretcher and said: "Zhang Wanyi hit her head and fainted to the ground." ”

Doctor Kong stepped forward and simply took the pulse and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just a trauma, and you can recuperate for a few days." Several attendants carried Zhang Wanyi down again.

"What about Ye Guiji? Didn't you find her? Tuoba asked in a deep voice.

The attendants bowed their heads and remained silent.

"The concubine has seen Ye Guiji!" An Lingji said suddenly: "When the concubine ran out, I saw Ye Guiji near the rockery and seemed to have fallen, walking with a limp. The concubine was panicked and couldn't take care of her, and she didn't know what to do after that. ”

An Lingji was one of the few people who was unscathed. When she was young, her family was poor, and she even planted seedlings barefoot, and she had seen leeches and water snakes, and she was not afraid of snakes and insects, and her body was healthy and she ran fast.

Hearing what An Lingji said, Tuoba Hong immediately ordered: "Don't go to the rockery to find it yet!" ”

The palace people had to be ordered to go into the flower garden. Lin Yuan pulled An Lingji over and asked quietly, "Have you really seen Ye Guiji?" Did you see Zhao Shuji? ”

An Lingji thought for a while: "I seem to have seen it...... Well, it's also near the rockery! ”

"Not only is Ye Guiji gone, but Zhao Shuji is also gone." Lin Yuan's voice was dull: "Now that Zhang Wanyi has found it, the two of them are still missing, and it is no coincidence that they have disappeared together." Do you remember that it was Zhao who suggested that we come to see Epiphany? ”

An Lingji nodded violently.

"When you saw Ye Guiji, she was already injured, and now I'm afraid it's getting worse." Lin Yuan's face was worried: "Ling Ji, you're not afraid of snakes, right?" You go to find Ye Guiji now, if it drags on for a long time, she may be more than lucky. ”

"Hui Concubine Niangniang wants to save Ye Guiji?" An Lingji was surprised: "You have always had an old grudge against the Ye family......

Lin Yuan glanced at her with a smile: "Compared to the Ye family, I hate Tian Concubine more, and the Zhao family is Tian Concubine's person." She reached out and stroked a handful of messy hair behind her ear: "Ling Ji, I'm helping you." Tonight's incident is inseparable from the Zhao family, and now that the Zhao family has replaced the He family, if you want to show your face in front of the emperor, you must first bring down the Zhao family. ”

Although An Lingji surrendered, Lin Yuan did not fully trust her. The cooperation between himself and Ye's is better not to tell her.

An Lingji listened to what Lin Yuan said, and she also understood, nodded and said, "Concubine, let's go." ”

She swept the flowers and dodged into the flower beds. There are palace people around to catch snakes.

An Lingji had fast legs and feet, and there was no obstacle all the way, and she quickly arrived at the rockery. She looked around from memory, and finally walked to a corner of the palace wall.

Unexpectedly, she saw two figures in this corner. Through the night, one man lay on the ground, seemingly unconscious, while the other stood aside.

An Lingji hurriedly ran over and exclaimed, "Ye Guiji, Zhao Shuji!" ”

Zhao Shuji turned her head abruptly and looked at An Lingji who was rushing towards her in shock.

Compared with Ye Guiji, who was unconscious, Zhao Shuji stood safely, but her arm was bitten by a snake and wrapped in a strip of cloth, and there were no injuries in the rest of the place.

"Zhao Shuji, why are you still staying here! How is Ye Guiji? An Lingji ran over and grabbed Zhao Shuji's hand. Looking at Ye Guiji who fainted again, she was startled.

Ye Guiji had a large blood stain on her chest, and she faintly saw a fleshy wound under her torn clothes.

An Lingji is not afraid of snakes, but she can't be afraid of blood. She screamed, shouting out to the palace people who were searching all around.

Those palace people were nearby, but it was not as good as An Lingji who had seen the Ye family with her own eyes, and they would not be able to find it for a while.

Zhao Shuji suddenly tightened An's and wanted to cover her mouth. An Shi shook her off with one hand, and grabbed her wrist with his right hand: "Shuji, it's not safe here, I'll call someone right away, let's leave quickly." ”

"Lingji!" Zhao Shuji was in a hurry. She didn't expect An Shi to walk through the flower garden to find Ye Guiji.

In a hurry, Zhao Shuji struggled violently and grabbed An Lingji: "Lingji, don't shout!" You alarm these snakes, they are more and more manic, and they will come to bite us! ”

However, An Lingji ignored it and continued to shout for help.

Concubine Jing's words are not wrong, compared to snakes, talents are more terrifying.

Soon, the palace people around heard the sound. The palace lamp reflected this dark and gloomy corner as bright as light, and at the same time reflected Zhao Shuji's snow-white face.

Seeing Ye Guiji's tragic situation, several palace maids screamed in surprise. Fortunately, the inner prisoners were more bold, and stepped forward to look carefully, and one of them said: "Quick, quickly carry the little master of Guiji out, the little master still has breath......"

Ye Guiji was too seriously injured, and no one took care of Zhao Shuji. An Lingji still pulled Zhao Shuji, her face did not show any flaws: "Shuji, let's go quickly." ”

Zhao Shuji was helpless, there were so many people around her, so she had to go together. Soon out of the flower garden, the emperor and a group of concubines were waiting outside, and several internal eunuchs carried Ye Guiji out with all hands and feet.

Ye Guiji is not dead, but she only has one breath left. Tuoba Hong was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry the Ye family to the nearest palace and pass on the imperial doctor for treatment. Zhao Shuji knelt down with tears on her face and sobbed, "The concubine and Ye Guiji are frightened...... There were snakes all around, and the two of us were stuck in it and couldn't get out. ”

"Shuji, have you been with Gui Ji all the time? Gui Ji was actually injured in the chest, could it be that it was bitten by a snake? Tuoba Hong's question was urgent, but faintly awe-inspiring.

When Zhao Shuji heard this, she felt bad. She suppressed her panic, shook her head and said, "The concubine didn't see Guiji until she ran halfway, and Guiji was already in a coma at that time, and there were no palace people around to serve. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched a handful of tears: "Gui Ji is very seriously injured, the injury on her chest seems to have hit something sharp, I don't know if it was a snake bite or something else, and the concubine doesn't know much." The concubine didn't dare to leave her, so she stayed by her side......"

Hearing this, Tuoba Hong's expression softened, and he nodded: "Okay, you go down first." I'll wait until Gui Ji wakes up. ”

A grandmother in front of the palace called the people again, Zhang Wanyi, Ye Guiji, and Zhao Shuji were all found, and the concubines were complete. It's just that a few palace maids and inner prisons haven't been found yet, but they are in chaos right now, and these subordinates will not be taken seriously.

"The emperor and sisters should go back to the palace first." Concubine Jing suggested softly: "Many of the concubines are injured, the wind is strong at night, and the emperor is tired. As for a thorough inspection of the flower garden, pick some safe palace people to stay here, and there is no hurry to check it tomorrow. ”

Tuoba Hong nodded when he heard this: "What Concubine Jing said is reasonable. He waved his hand and commanded, "Let's all disperse." The imperial doctor first went to treat Gui Ji and Hui Concubine, and here in the flower garden, Concubine Jing left the principal, strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave this place. ”

The concubines were already cold and tired, and after hearing this, they returned to the palace in twos and threes. Tuoba Hong took Lin Yuan's hand and said, "There was a report from the previous dynasty, and Chu Dakai was out asking to see me." I can't send you back tonight, so I'll let An Gui lead a team of guards to protect you. ”

Recently, in order to eradicate the rebel party, it is common for the emperor to summon his courtiers in the middle of the night, and Chu Dakai is deeply appreciated by the emperor and often enters the palace to meet the saint. Although Lin Yuan looked forward to the emperor being able to send her in person, she never dared to interfere with military affairs, so she said meekly: "The concubine is not worried, the emperor should go back to Jianzhang Palace quickly, don't let Lord Chu wait." ”

After a pause, he carefully instructed: "Also, the emperor is tired for a day, so he should go to bed early at night, and he should not be too diligent." ”

"I know. I'll be there to see you tomorrow. Tuoba Hong stroked her forehead dotingly, and went to the dragon chariot to say goodbye to her.

The concubines around him helped the palace maid to disperse. Several people twisted their feet, but fortunately, the emperor ordered the palace people to prepare the sedan chair.

The Huayang Palace where Lin Yuan lived and An Lingji's Wanchun Palace were in the same direction, so they went the same way. An Gui led more than a dozen guards with knives to guard the side, surrounding Lin Yuan's sedan chair, which was reassuring.

An's position was not able to ride in a sedan chair, and he did not have the emperor's sympathy after being injured. She walked slowly beside Lin Yuan, talking to Lin Yuan without a match.

The night was dewy and heavy, even in summer, Lin Yuan and An Shi were both wrapped in their coats. After walking for a while, I vaguely saw a small sedan car parked on the side of the road at the mouth of the alley ahead.

Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled, and sent the palace people to see it, but it turned out to be Ren Guiren. The palace man who returned to the palace said to Lin Yuan: "Ren Guiren fell on his head in the flower garden, and at first he was fine, but at this time he had abdominal pain. The palace maid beside Ren Guiren was taking care of her. ”

"Ren was the first to fall, it's really pitiful." An Lingji said lightly.

Ren Guiren lives in the side hall of Lintoe Palace, which has no main position, and is adjacent to Huayang Palace. Lin Yuan asked the errand runner, "Do you think she is seriously injured?" ”

"The minion doesn't know. The servant glanced at it from a distance, and did not ask the palace maid beside Ren Guiren. Mother, why don't you go again? ”

"No need." Lin Yuan waved his hand: "More is better than less." Ren Guiren has a grudge against me again, so let's go and get into trouble. ”

An Lingji has been in the palace for several months, and she also knows that the palace is not a nosy place, and she has no good impression of the Ren family who once bullied her with He Lianji. She pulled Lin Yuan's sleeve and said, "The fetus in Niangniang's womb is important, so let's go back to the palace to diagnose the pulse quickly, let's go around." As for Ren Guiren, send a few subordinates to the inner hospital to find the imperial doctor for her, and then go to the emperor, which can be regarded as our benevolence and righteousness. ”

Originally, An Lingji didn't want to care about it at all, but because of the presence of Gonggong Gui, a member of the Imperial Palace, it was not good to be too indifferent and ruthless.

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, and casually ordered a few people to run errands.
