Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Search

After a long silence, no more grass or trees fell.

Sheng Mingzhu raised his head and looked up, the winter hunt came early, and now it was just noon, it was the time when the sun was the most eager, looking directly into the sky made people look a little uncomfortable, and it didn't take long for the sound of footsteps to come, and there were small things falling down. She squinted, but the sunlight above her seemed to be suddenly blocked.

"Liu Feichi?"

There was a faint face on it, but it was Liu Feichi, who I hadn't seen for a long time. He wore a red guard armor, which was shaded by trees, and Sheng Mingzhu couldn't quite see his expression clearly.

She couldn't see herself clearly, but Liu Feichi could see her clearly. He liked Sheng Mingzhu's appearance very much, it was extremely delicate, but it was a pity that he was going to be destroyed in his hands today, and the corners of his lips were opened, and he wanted to say something.

"Feichi, let's go."

Later, the seventh prince Wei Ci shouted, and Liu Feichi got up from the pit and walked to Wei Ci's side.

Wei Ci is the youngest son of Emperor Wei and the old man, and he is very favored. Because of his mother's early death, Concubine Liu in the palace had taken care of him for a period of time, so Liu Feichi, who had become a commoner, had this opportunity to enter the palace as a guard, "Your Highness, she had ill intentions and killed my aunt, and Fei Rong was bitten by a poisonous snake and her appearance was ruined, this revenge will not be avenged, I am not a son of man, not a brother." ”

Wei Ci had heard Liu Feichi say this, and his brows furrowed slightly, "What do you want?" ”

Liu Feichi knew that the bottom of the pit was not deep, and the two above could hear what Sheng Mingzhu said. He even deliberately let her hear it, and when he entered the palace as a guard, he saw a lot of punishments, only to realize that his previous cynicism was a joke, and what really scared a person was that she knew what kind of punishment she was going to receive but was powerless.

"This place is remote, I deliberately brought her here, thinking that no one else would come for a while."

Liu Feichi said, "I remember the chamberlain said that there are often bears in this area......

Sheng Mingzhu was really apprehensive, but he didn't want to be as Liu Feichi intended, so he didn't say a word. Suddenly she felt something sticky slipping over her face, but she saw Liu Feichi taking a jar at the hole above and didn't know what she was dumping, she hurriedly went to the hay behind to hide, and soon smelled a sweet and greasy smell.

It's honey.

Could it be that Liu Feichi was suddenly kind-hearted and afraid that she would starve to death here?

"Sheng Mingzhu, once this incident is over, I am not to blame for our hatred before." He hidden, whether you live or die.

Liu Feichi threw the jar on the ground, and his heart was happy. Wei Ci's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he didn't know Sheng Mingzhu, although he felt that Liu Feichi treated a woman like this was a bit excessive, so he didn't say anything after all.

"Why is the county lord of Yongning missing?"

"She's used to being timid, she should have been carried back by the eunuch."

Sheng Mingzhu stood in the deep pit, faintly hearing the footsteps far away, and then walked out, trying to climb out. There were no broken vines around, and even because of the honey that had just been poured down, it was very smooth, she only picked out the mud with one hand, and she couldn't climb up for a long time, and she wanted to cry.

"Sister Sheng San......"

The withered grass on it was opened, Sheng Mingzhu saw Yongning's timid face appear in front of him, and he only felt the sun shining for a while, "County Lord!" ”

"Third Sister Sheng, don't be afraid, I can't pull you with little strength, I'll call the guards."

Sheng Mingzhu nodded, and asked the county lord of Yongning to ask the guards to bring some hemp rope over, and Yongning hurriedly ran out after hearing and remembering.

The royal enclosure covers a very wide area, and because both the prince and the ministers subordinate to the prince want to hunt to win the emperor's favor, everyone knows it, and there are so many prey in each area. The area where Sheng Mingzhu is located is divided into the area of the Seven Princes and the Five Princes.

Although the county lord of Yongning is young, there are no children of the royal family who do not understand this, she just saw that the seventh emperor uncle was playing tricks on the third sister Sheng, but now she can no longer look for his people.

"Yongning?"

The county lord of Yongning has been walking on this edge, and Wei Xi is followed by many guards, how can he not see a half-old girl's house.

"What are you doing here alone?" Wei Xi asked.

Liu Feichi was also next to him, "Wasn't the county lord with the third lady of the Sheng family just now?" Why don't you see her? ”

Yongning took a step back and shook his head, "I...... I don't know. ”

Her expression flickered, she couldn't even fool herself, how could she fool Wei Ci and Liu Feichi.

"Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face pale? Wei Xi asked.

In fact, Sheng Mingzhu didn't care to him, but if he was seen by Yongning, it would be a little troublesome. Liu Feichi also knew this, so Wei Ci hung his head as he spoke.

"Just now...... I was riding a horse just now, and I was a little scared. ”

Yongning's heart became more and more nervous, she had never said so much to others, and she was still a person she was afraid of. Wei Ci smiled, and asked the guards on the side to help Yongning get on the horse, and after she sat down steadily, he said, "I saw Miss Sheng San just now that she seemed to have accidentally fallen into the trap, did you also see it?" ”

Yongning nodded, and quickly shook his head again.

Wei Ci naturally knew a little about the eldest daughter of the crown prince, "Miss Sheng San accidentally fell into a trap just now, and now I'm about to go back and find someone to save herβ€”β€”"

The county lord of Yongning lowered his head slightly, only silent. After a moment out of the jungle, I heard the prince's voice, in the end, it was my father, it was not obvious in the past, at this time, the lord of Yongning quickly dismounted and ran over, pulling the hem of the prince's clothes, and the prince was a little flattered, his daughter had never been so close to him before.

"Yongning? What's wrong? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ripped off her hand again, "Your imperial grandfather is here, why don't you salute." ”

Next to not only Emperor Wei, but also Wang Xiangji and others. Hunting at the age of Emperor Wei is to make a showcase, and now coming out is more like an outing.

"What are you doing to her? Yongning, this girl has been like this since she was a child, don't I know it? "When people get old, they have some partial pain, especially weak ones. Emperor Wei looked at Yongning's pale face and asked, "Yongning girl, what's wrong with you, are you unwell?" ”

The number of people around the side exceeded ten, and the county lord of Yongning became more and more panicked, so he couldn't wait to hide his head in the collar and shrink behind the prince. But he was still thinking about Sheng Mingzhu in his heart, Emperor Wei saw her retract her head, and there was already disappointment in his eyes, but he felt sorry for his granddaughter, who was bullied by evil servants when she was a child.

was about to have someone send her home, but she saw her sticking out her head from behind the prince's back, looking at her with round eyes, "Imperial grandfather...... Sheng San's sister ......"

"Father, just now the retainers were shooting in front, it seems that it was a trap set by someone who didn't know who was last year, and Miss Sheng San stepped into it by mistake. Yongning was scared, so Erchen was in a hurry to send her out. ”

Emperor Wei seemed to understand, so he nodded at Wei Ci, "You did a good job." He frowned again for a while, "You said that the girl of the Sheng family fell into the trap?" Wang Fu, will you follow the guards in and take a look? ”

Wei Ci looked at the county lord of Yongning on the side again, "Yongning is probably worried about Miss Sheng San, she is so timid and afraid of a place with a lot of people." Father, it is better for me to send someone to send Yongning back first, Miss Sheng San fell into the trap remotely, and the enclosure is large, only the guards will search for it, I am afraid that I will not find it for a while. ”

Liu Feichi nodded and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the minister still remembers that place a little, and he can lead the way for the prince in a while." ”

Emperor Wei nodded, and he didn't take this matter to heart. After all, it is a royal paddock, and it is said that it is a deer shooting and bear hunting, but in fact, most of them are domesticated and released, otherwise where would there be so many nobles for winter hunting.

β€”β€”

Yongning was taken all the way to the side of the crown princess, and was soon pulled by the princess's subordinates to the carriage and sent to the back tent to rest.

The crown princess listened to the eunuch on the side talk about what happened just now, and she always knew her daughter's temperament. I found a reason with the queen here, and went to the tent at night, and the grandmother who was waiting for Yongning was packing up her things, the original riding clothes had been changed, and the grandmother had prepared a small bag and a burden, but she refused to go back to the house to rest-

It rained in the evening.

"Governor? That's not hunting? ”

Guan Ping rode back on a black-brown horse, with a body of water, even eyelashes, and quickly turned over and dismounted, and the waiting chamberlain hurriedly took over the prey on his horse, "The governor's demeanor has not diminished back then, will he send it to His Majesty in a while?" ”

In the winter hunting feast, some of the prey of the handsome man was presented to His Majesty, and there were also the women who were also given to their favorites. It seems that the governor used to be sent to His Majesty.

Guan Ping shook his head, "Put it there first." ”

There is already a basin brought by someone to clean his hands next to him, Guan Ping lowered his body, it was raining in the end, and his hands were stained with some blood, and the waiter next to him had already handed over a brand-new white silk, he wiped the water on his hands, but he heard a faint voice coming, frowned slightly, and looked at the waiter on the side.

"It's the county lord of Yongning, and he wants to go back to the prince's mansion to rest today, but he is so bad that he refuses to go back." The chamberlain whispered.

Guan Ping didn't pay attention to it when he heard this, and prepared to change his wet clothes in the account.

"Yongning, it's getting late, you always know the bed, how can you sleep in this tent. You listen to the words of the mother, three days of winter hunting, and you can come early tomorrow morning. The crown princess spoke bitterly.

"Mother, I'm going to see Sheng San's sister ......"

"With your Seventh Emperor Uncle watching there, and besides, if it's the royal enclosure, nothing will happen to Miss Sheng. Yongning, you listen to your mother's words, go back to rest tonight, and you can see her early tomorrow morning. ”

Guan Ping's hand that originally lifted the curtain stopped there and stopped slightly. The lord of Yongning said something to the concubine, but when the princess asked her, she couldn't answer, and she cried after a while, and Guan Ping only listened to it.

The chamberlain was tending to the governor's horse, and this beast was more expensive than the usual people in the house, especially since it was raining today, and he had to be served well before he could enter the stable. The rain was heavy, he wiped the water on his face, but in the thin rain curtain, it seemed that the person who had just gone and returned, "Guan Dudu, why are you ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already taken the reins from his hand, and the horse was gone.

The waiter shook off the water on his face, and twisted his sleeves to accumulate rain for half a day, "I have been serving for half a day...... I don't know what to do in such a hurry......"
