Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Lynx Hurts

For any woman, a damaged face is a huge blow, even for a woman like water chestnut who doesn't care much about makeup.

So Cui Bingying's crying made the water chestnut even more guilty, Concubine Jia and Cui Bingying's mother had been comforting her, but Cui Bingying's emotions couldn't calm down.

Water chestnut took a step forward, she wanted to say that it was all her own fault, and asked Cui Bingying not to anger Song Zhi. But just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Cui Bingying's sudden outburst.

Cui Bingying pulled out the hairpin and pounced on Song Zhi, wanting to use the hairpin to scratch her face.

She is a boudoir woman, even if she tries her best to pounce, the water chestnut can easily restrain her. In order not to hurt her, the water chestnut just pinched her wrist and pressed her back into place. Song Zhi just swayed the hem of her skirt and took a step back.

The surprised expression on Wei San'er's face lasted for a long time, as if he was startled by Cui Bingying, the corner of his eyes swept over Song Zhi, and the look of surprise disappeared on his face, but it appeared in his heart again.

Concubine Jia and Mrs. Cui were frightened for a while, Cui Bingying's injury could be said to be caused by an accident, but she used a hairpin to try to scratch Song Zhi's face, if such a vicious act was said, she wouldn't want to marry a decent person.

Water chestnut rubbed her wrist and stood behind Song Zhi, in order not to hurt Cui Bingying, she retracted a little strength, but she made herself uncomfortable.

As soon as Concubine Jia wanted to open her mouth to reprimand, Cui Bingying cried 'woo', and her tears washed away the incense powder, revealing her original not fair complexion, and her face was yellow and white, which was really embarrassing.

Song Zhi said to the imperial doctor: "You go and boil a bowl of medicine for Ningshen Soup, Miss Cui is so excited, it is really not conducive to the recovery of the wound." Among the people present, Song Zhi was the most calm, but this calmness also made her seem a little cold.

Cui Bingying stopped crying immediately, and looked at Song Zhi viciously, and thousands of words of consolation from her relatives could not withstand the ridicule of the enemy in her eyes.

Concubine Jia saw Cui Bingying's eyes, she is the top person in the palace, and the person who can step by step to a high position is not a simple person, as long as one look can touch Cui Bingying's thoughts.

"Can you catch that brute?" Concubine Jia asked with a frown.

Wei San'er said slightly apologetically: "I've already let people catch it, but the lynx is cunning, and it hasn't been caught yet." ”

Mrs. Cui Bingying instructed Mrs. Cui to forcibly help her maid in to rest, and before leaving, she glared back at Song Zhi.

Concubine Jia walked up to Song Zhi, her face stopped talking, Song Zhi glanced at her, and said gently: "Miss Cui has applied the medicine and has stopped now." Niangniang and I will go back together, the emperor is still waiting for you to accompany you. ”

Concubine Jia frowned and smiled, knowing that Song Zhi would not spread the rumors about Bingying's attempt to ruin her appearance.

Song Zhi gave in slightly, letting Concubine Jia walk out of the tent first. Concubine Jia was going to return the same way, but she suddenly heard Song Zhi say, "Niangniang, let's go around from behind." You can also see the last wave of red leaves of the maple leaves in the West Mountain. ”

Hearing this, Wei San'er quietly moved the direction of his toes.

"If you want to go and see, go ahead." Although Concubine Jia didn't show it on her face, she was a little unhappy in her heart, "Why Bingying hurt her face, but she is still in the mood to miss the maple leaves in Xishan." ’

Although Meteor was ignorant, he also realized that Song Zhi should not have said this at this time.

Concubine Jia's face is ridiculous when she laughs at the top, and majestic when she says it is majestic to the bottom, but at this time, she is unwilling to show her sleek skills, and she also puts away her usual leniency towards Song Zhi. She walked in front of her face expressionlessly.

Meteor and water chestnut looked at Song Zhi uneasily, only to see that she was half-hanging a pair of beautiful eyes, not knowing whether she was in a daze or worried.

Song Zhi thought helplessly, "Cui Bingying's injury to his face was an accident, but if you have to think about it, the fish soup of the seventeenth prince and the water chestnut are inseparable from the behavior of the protector." She protected her son, although Concubine Jia couldn't blame her on the surface, Cui Bingying was her niece after all, and if she pushed the responsibility to me in her heart, she would definitely be able to relax a little. Even if you are high, you can't get rid of the normal feelings of these people, hey. ’

Song Zhi's sigh was silent, but an earth-shattering loud bang sounded not far away, like a landslide and the ground cracked!

Concubine Jia thought that something had happened, and she was so frightened that she fell backwards again and again, until she fell on Song Zhi.

Song Zhi originally stood firmly, but was smashed by Concubine Jia, even though Concubine Jia was delicate and soft, but this weight was pressed on Song Zhi, who was also a woman, and it was especially difficult. At the same time, Song Zhi's ankle hit a small stone, she just snorted, but Concubine Jia, who fell on her, screamed first.

The palace maid hurriedly helped Concubine Jia up, and the water chestnut and meteor also hurried to help Song Zhi.

"Wait, wait." Song Zhi injured his ankle, and the pain was unbearable for a while, let alone the strength to stand up.

"Child, are you alright?" Concubine Jia asked embarrassedly.

Song Zhi shook his head with difficulty, "It's just that my foot hurts a little, maybe it's twisted, it's not in the way, wait for me to slow down." ”

"You can't sit on the ground either! Hurry up, you two also help to help Miss Song up. Concubine Jia instructed her maidservant to help Song Zhi up, and asked Wei San'er in a panic, "What's the matter, what is that voice?" ”

Wei San'er had some guesses in his heart, but he deliberately made a thoughtful appearance and spoke late. Until Song Zhi endured the pain and stood still, he replied with difficulty: "It should be that the viewing platform in the side corner has collapsed." ”

"What?" Concubine Jia couldn't recover for a while, and said in her heart, "If I had returned the same way just now, wouldn't it be very likely to be crushed by the collapsed viewing platform?" But how could Song Zhi be unpredictable? ’

She was puzzled and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Song Zhi was inconvenient to speak because of the pain, so Meteor answered for her.

The worry between Concubine Jia's eyebrows faded a little, and she said, "Since Jingyu already knows, there shouldn't be anything serious, right?" Have all the people been evacuated? ”

Today's calamities followed one after another, Concubine Jia frowned after thinking about it, and said, "First the bobcat, then the termites." If termites are deliberately done by someone, then will someone deliberately sneak in the bobcat? ”

This was just speculation, and there was no evidence at all, so Song Zhi didn't dare to answer rashly, just looked like he was in pain.

Suddenly, a gloomy cloud covered the sun, the light suddenly dimmed a little, the meteor's hand that was originally holding Song Zhi tightened inexplicably, her voice trembled, and her body trembled, "Little, miss." ”

Everyone followed her frightened voice, and saw four pairs of bright yellow and black eyes on the fence staring at them without blinking.

Four bobcats with grey, yellow or black fur were crouching on the fence, all hunched over their backs, looking ready to attack.

"This is no ordinary wild cat, this is a lynx." Song Zhi looked at the black hair fluttering in the wind on their ears, like the pheasant feathers worn by the generals on the stage.

The water chestnut protected everyone behind him and said, "Don't be afraid, I can still deal with a few beasts." ”

The lynx seemed to understand what the water chestnut was saying, and they called out in a low voice, as if mocking.

Song Zhi does not doubt the martial arts of the water chestnut, but there are four lynxes, but there is only one person in the water chestnut, and he has to protect so many people who have no power to restrain the chicken.

Concubine Jia tugged at Song Zhi's sleeve, she seemed to forget that Song Zhi was just a boudoir girl with a foot injury, and she just felt that she would be more at ease by her side.

The water chestnut got the news early in the morning, and the emperor was not allowed to bring weapons nearby, and he said that he had martial arts and was the same with or without weapons, so at this time he had to stand still with his fists.

The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, the lynx did not move, and one of Concubine Jia's maidservants weakened her legs because she was too nervous, and fell to the ground.

The lynx on the far right suddenly became difficult, and pounced straight towards her, the maid ran away with a roll, and the lynx caught up with her in a few steps, and the water chestnut subconsciously flew out, but revealed the blank around Song Zhi.

The largest lynx bared its teeth like a hideous grin.

"Water chestnut!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the meteor hurriedly shouted! Although she was afraid, she still stood in front of Song Zhi.

The water chestnut turned back, and seeing that the lynx's claws were about to catch the face of the meteor, she was too late!

The lynx's body froze in mid-air and landed on the ground, a thin black arrow stuck in its head, and blood gushed out, quickly staining the land a dark color.

"Go help her!" Song Zhi raised his hand, pointed the sleeve arrow on his wrist at the remaining two lynxes, and said intently at the water chestnut.

Although the water chestnut was shocked, he did not make any moves, and twisted the throat of the lynx, but fortunately the maid was only scratched on the back, and was frightened, but there was no other serious problem.

The lynx on the fence shrank its claws and leaped into the forest without looking back.

Song Zhi took out a handkerchief, wrapped the black arrow on the lynx's head with a handkerchief, and wanted to pull it out, but because the arrow was stuck in the bone, it was difficult to pull it out.

The water chestnut turned back, helped Song Zhi pull out the arrow, and put it away.

"This lynx is raised." Song Zhi looked at a shiny dark hair on the back of the corpse and said.

said such a sentence but no one responded, and when Song Zhi turned around, she saw that everyone was looking at her in a daze.

She tore off her sleeve to block the sleeve arrow, and clapped her hands again, as if dusting off some non-existent dust, "Zhi'er has always been timid as a mouse, so she is used to wearing sleeve arrows to defend herself, and today I forgot to take them off when the emperor was near me, and I hope that Concubine Jia and Father-in-law Wei will keep it a secret for me." ”

Unable to say boo to a goose? Fang Cai was bold and calm, and now he said that he was as timid as a mouse, and Concubine Jia and Wei San'er were incredulous.

"its head so that no one can see the flaws. Bring back the corpse of another lynx and report it to the emperor. As soon as Wei San'er said this, it was equivalent to accepting Song Zhi's most secure letter of nomination.

Concubine Jia was quite surprised in her heart, Wei San'er also has a nickname called Sanbu, he is the smoothest person in this palace, and not expressing his position should be his consistent style.

Concubine Jia looked at the sparse corpse of the lynx on the ground, and remembered the injury on Cui Bingying's face, she couldn't help but stroke her face, and said to Song Zhi sincerely: "This is natural, why cause you unnecessary trouble." ”
