"You call me Luo Ge, although I have only just adapted to this identity, but you call me Xia Tianqing will only cause a riot, and even make my senior brother even more suspicious of me."
Listening to my words, Mu Ziheng nodded, and then said, "Then please take care of Concubine De Niangniang in the future." ”
Looking at Mu Ziheng's hippie smiling face, Luo Ge at this moment seemed to have returned to the winter of a certain year when he was young, and the two of them were laughing under the east tree in the snow.
"Then the palace also asked the prince to take care of it?"
In this way, Mu Ziheng became the entire palace, the first person to know that Luo Ge was Xia Tianqing, and he promised to help her keep this secret and help her uncover the truth at the right time.
Because of the conversation between the two, Luo Ge knew that this time the killing was done by Su Jin. This further confirms that Su Jin needs to speed up and get Mu Jinguo's "support". At the same time, Luo Ge began to wonder what happened to Su Jin and Su Ling, so that the relationship between the two of them reached such a point that they couldn't even maintain a superficial peace.
In this way, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year of Luo Ge was spent with a life adventure and cranky thoughts.
According to the rules, the hunt for the palace on the fifth day of the first month is about to start at the time of Chen. All those who followed Mu Ziqin must wait in the hunting ground before the hour. And Luo Ge couldn't sleep because she was too worried last night, so she gradually fell asleep when the sky was light.
By the time it was three o'clock, it was the fourth time that Lu Zhi had knocked on her door. But the exhausted Luo Ge just rolled over and continued to sleep face in.
Seeing that the time for the gathering was getting closer and closer, Lu Zhi had no choice but to find someone to break the door open from the outside. Because of the excessive movement, Luo Ge woke up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the hurried green angelica in front of her and the sweaty attendant behind her, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Looking at her confused expression, Lu Zhi almost didn't cry, she said with a crying voice: "My good mother, you get up quickly, the hunt is about to begin, you are not ready to wait until the time when you can't go to the hunting ground, the king will definitely blame it." ”
"Blame it, blame it." Luo Ge stretched his waist and said indifferently.
Faced with her indifference, Lu Zhi became even more nervous and said, "Niangniang, have you forgotten?" Late arrivals are not allowed for this palace hunt. And according to the hunt is a symbol of good luck. In this year's hunting, if the king hunts the first prey, it will represent a whole year in the future, and the Great Jin Kingdom will be smooth and peaceful. ”
Being reminded by Lu Zhi like this, Luo Ge found some information in his brain.
From a certain corner of her memory, she seemed to remember that Mu Ziqin had said to him that hunting in the Great Jin Kingdom was an auspicious symbol. This is because the ancestors of the Great Jin Kingdom were nomadic people, and the first deer they hunted every year would cut off the deer head and hang it on the wall, and use the deer skin to make the robes of the tribal leaders. Or use the first bear or tiger skin as a cushion for the tribal leader.
Later, the Great Jin Kingdom gradually developed, and they began to no longer migrate along the way, but found a suitable place to settle, that is, within the territory of the current Great Jin Kingdom, they continued to build their own houses and cities. Then they formed their own country, had their own institutions and laws, and began to slowly farm.
None of this can change the traditions that the Great Jin Kingdom passed down from its ancestors. Every year on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they will set out from the gate of the palace and go to the hunting ground a hundred miles outside the palace to kill the animals. After laying down the first prey, make a cushion from the fur of the prey and let it accompany the emperor for the rest of the year.
Such a tradition is more important than going to the temple every year to eat the Buddha fast, so everyone in the palace must participate, and no one has the privilege.
After thinking about this, Luo Ge had already combed his hair and put on a red riding costume under Lu Zhi's arrangement. Luo Ge, who was shrewd and capable, walked forward in the snow in addition to the red clothes, and the whole red clothes lined her face even paler.
The palace maids who followed closely followed him cautiously, for fear that he would fall due to the slippery snow and cause the dragon fetus in her womb to be affected.
Fortunately, the garden where she lived was not very far from the gate of the palace, and they arrived in a short time.
Mu Ziqin, who was looking at Luo Ge from afar, looked at her face that was slightly flushed because of the rapid walking, he was a little distracted.
Wang Fuhai, who was standing beside Mu Ziqing, gently reminded him in his ear after seeing Luo Ge. Mu Ziqing was reminded by him like this, and immediately turned his head, used the moment he turned his head to contain his nervousness and panic, and then said with a straight face: "The time has come." Let's go! ”
Listening to his order, Wang Fuhai announced his order to set off.
After this order, I saw all the princes and all the generals galloping wildly. And Brother Lu, who was left behind by them, stood in place and looked at the horse team that was gone, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Wang Fuhai walked to her side. Then he said respectfully: "The emperor arranged for the old slave to prepare a carriage for you yesterday, and invited the mother to come with the old slave." ”
"I'm tired."
Luo Ge didn't understand why Mu Ziqin asked her to participate in the hunt and prepared a carriage for her according to her current identity and the situation of being pregnant with a "dragon fetus".
But if she didn't move forward, there was no way to know what kind of plan Mu Ziqin suddenly added was. In this way, Luo Ge rode forward in the carriage and came to a certain corner of the hunting ground.
In this corner there was a small wooden house, which had not been built very long, and there were two piles of firewood outside the wooden house.
After the carriage stopped, he heard Wang Fuhai say outside the door: "The Emperor Niangniang ordered the old slave to take you here, please come into the house and wait for a while." As long as you're alone. ”
Luo Ge got out of the car and entered the house.
The interior of the house is simply furnished, with a wooden bed, a table, two chairs, and a heated hearth. The fire in the furnace had already been burned, and the heating was blowing in her face, and she took off her coat.
Luo Ge found the nearest seat and sat down, and then waited patiently for Mu Ziqin's arrival.
But she waited for almost an hour, but Mu Ziqin didn't arrive. At this time, questions gradually arose in Luo Ge's heart.
"Senior brother will never miss an appointment like this, even if there is a change in the plan, he will at least find someone to inform me, today..."
Luo Ge didn't know what was going on, and she didn't even notice how the people outside the house left. She anxiously knocked on the door and shouted, "Someone! ”
However, no one responded. This made Luo Ge's heart more and more flustered. She didn't answer her name Lu Zhi, and no one answered her name Han Yu.
Luo Ge began to recall all his actions when he first met Wang Fuhai, including every word he said to her. But Luo Ge couldn't find anything unusual.
Luo Ge screamed for a while, but found that there was still no one outside the house to answer. She could only sit back in her position in frustration.
It wasn't until Luo Gexin had already mentioned her throat that someone called her name from outside the house. And in the meantime, Luo Ge had already thought about a hundred possible scenarios in his mind.
"Luo Ge." The voice of the person outside the house, Luo Ge, recognized it as Mu Ziheng.
Only then did Luo Ge hear the voice and immediately got up from his seat, then walked to the door and replied, "I'm here, can you open the door?" ”
After Mu Ziheng patrolled around the house, he walked to the door and said, "This door is locked, I should be able to open it, but I need you to step back, I'm afraid that I will hurt you by opening the door." ”
"Okay." After Luo Ge gave a simple answer, he retreated to another corner of the room, giving Mu Ziheng enough space to open the door.
When Luo Ge heard a "bang", it was Mu Ziheng who had already entered the house.
Muzi stepped forward to observe very anxiously, and was slightly relieved when he saw that she was safe.
At this time, Luo Ge opened his mouth and asked, "Am I in a trap again?" ”
Mu Ziheng nodded and said, "A moment ago, Brother Wang came back from the paddock, and Lu Zhi came to report that Wang Fuhai had brought you to the forest hut, and then you waited in the house to let them leave, saying that Brother Wang would come back to see you later, and let them leave first." But you haven't come back after waiting for you for a long time, so I'm here to report back. ”
"What about Mu Ziqin?" Luo Ge was in a hurry and even forgot to call his senior brother, but asked him directly about his situation.
"Our brother is not in any danger, but you are trapped in this house, why are you not worried?"
"I thought of a hundred possibilities long before you came, including that I was tricked into being killed in this house, but I didn't expect that nothing happened after I was tricked into this house."
Hearing his words, Mu Ziqin smiled and patted her on the head, and then said: "Fortunately, you were just deceived into this house, if something happens, I really don't know how to explain to Brother Wang, he lost his most beloved woman, and it is the second time." ”
The five words "beloved woman" made Luo Ge's face flush for a while, although she still didn't know what her feelings were for Mu Ziqin, but she could vaguely know that after that night, she gradually became interested in Mu Ziqin, at least when it came to the fact that he loved her, he would no longer be as indifferent as before.
Looking at the shy woman in front of her, Mu Ziheng just smiled and waited for Mu Ziqin's arrival.
Not long after the words fell, Mu Ziqin led the people outside the house. When he entered the house alone, he looked at the door that fell on the ground, and said directly: "I didn't expect that Brother Wang, who is lonely, is such a violent person who can push the door open so violently." Lone would love to know, when did you learn this brutal way of solving problems? ”
For his ridicule, Mu Ziheng just smiled, and then flashed out of the house, hiding in the jungle, leaving Luo Ge to face Mu Ziqin alone.
Luo Ge didn't speak, but looked at Mu Ziqin well, and Mu Ziqing didn't know where to start. But someone always has to break the silence first, and this time it's Luo Ge.
"I wonder if the king caught the person who pretended to be Wang Fuhai?"
"Before the man escaped outside the palace, the wall was caught."
"Who is that man?"
