173 Beauty and the Beast

Outside the main hall, Yang Heng had already commanded the eunuchs of Yihui Palace to take care of all the people in Xiuhua Palace.

Time was pressing, he didn't think that he could ask about Bai Poria on these eunuchs and palace maids, he just wanted to give Mu Peilan a chance to extract a confession from the twelve princesses.

Cui Zhenyi stood aside and watched coldly, at this point, she was not worried about her safety at all, she only had one thought in her heart - I don't know if the twelve princesses killed that little slut?

She was desperate for repairing Lu Ying's relationship with her, so today the twelve princesses made a fuss in Huilan Palace, and a palace maid secretly said in her ear that she wanted her to wait a while to find a way to drag Mu Peilan, and when someone would kill Bai Poria for her, she was tempted.

Even if Mu Peilan suspects that she is involved, there is no evidence, it is a big deal to send someone to kill her in private to vent her anger, she has nothing, what else is there to fear? Even if she dies, she will be at the bottom of the white poria!

Mu Peilan and Princess Antai walked out of the hall, Princess Antai's eyes were red, but Mu Peilan was relatively calm, and Yang Heng didn't know if they were asking about good news or bad news.

He is not close to the twelve princesses, but he also knows that this royal sister is from the queen, and she has always been arrogant, and she has never taken other people's lives seriously.

Princess Antai saw Yang Heng looking at them steadily, although she was calm, but her stiff posture was enough to reveal the panic in his heart, she had seen such an expression many years ago - on the night of the death of his mother Concubine Yue.

"Miss Bai...... In, in the zoo ......" Princess Antai felt that her throat was astringent.

Mu Peilan took a deep breath, not knowing whether to comfort her or comfort herself, and said, "It's okay, Ling'er has not been afraid of those things since she was a child." ”

Princess Antai wondered how she could say such a thing, but Yang Heng immediately thought of several scenes that impressed him on Baili Mountain: a wild *** was at her unguarded mercy in front of the white poria, and there was a large group of vicious dog giant eagles in the Cold Spring Courtyard that were not inferior to jackals, tigers and leopards...... Lin Pingzi once accidentally mentioned that animals with a little spirituality like to get close to the white poria.

That is to say, the white poria will be fine? Yang Heng still couldn't believe it, but at this moment, he desperately hoped that it was true.

knew that Bai Poria was in the zoo, but it took a lot of trouble to get in.

The eunuch in charge of the keys to the zoo was drunk by the twelve princesses, and all the keys to the garden were stolen and disappeared. There are too many fierce beasts in the backyard of the beast park, and they forcibly break in, in case one or two lions and tigers run out or something, the responsibility is too great, and the royal forest army guarding nearby has made sufficient preparations, and even the hunter warriors who came with Tian Tongguo have found it, so they smashed the door and locked it in.

Princess Antai did not know martial arts and was left in a safe place outside the park, Yang Heng insisted on going along, and the Imperial Forest Army sent forty martial arts warriors to protect him and Mu Peilan, and four warriors from Tiantong Country were responsible for opening the way in front with bows and arrows and hunting knives.

When the four warriors of Tiantong Country heard that someone had strayed into the beast park and asked them to go to the rescue, they were not very reluctant.

The tigers and black bears in the beast park were all sent by them from Tiantong as a gift in person, how fierce and cruel they knew in their hearts, even if they were strong in martial arts and accustomed to fighting with fierce beasts, they would have been exhausted and torn into several pieces after entering the beast for so long, not to mention that the one who went in was said to be the daughter of a big official's family, with thin skin, I am afraid that there are no bones left now.

It's a joke to let them save people, it's almost the same to collect corpses, it's really not worth it to ask them to fight for their lives for this! But who made them ask for Qi Guo? I don't know if Qi Guo will be angry with them for this matter, no matter how much he doesn't want to, he can only bite the bullet.

The weather was very cold in the first month, and after walking in the unusually quiet zoo for a while, the four warriors were so nervous that their bodies were soaked in cold sweat.

One of the warriors couldn't stand the strange atmosphere and snorted, "Hell! How did you go all this way, and there was not even a ghost shadow? Those big guys are sleeping dead? "Bears do hibernate this season, but because they toss along the way, those bears have food and drink, so they shouldn't just go into the yard and die, right? And even if the bear sleeps to death, what about the tiger?

This yard is not very large, and it makes no sense that it has not been seen yet.

On the contrary, Mu Peilan and Yang Heng, who were surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, although they were also nervous, they didn't have too much fear, and after listening to the warrior's complaints, they just glanced at each other and didn't say anything.

Not far ahead, there was a sudden low roar of a tiger, the roar was not loud, and the group was in their hearts, and they tightened their weapons and went there.

Circumventing a dirt slope, the strange scene in front of them suppressed all the more than 40 people.

More than a dozen tigers and black bears with their heads are squatting or lying in one place, and a strangely beautiful girl in white sits peacefully on a big tiger lying on the ground, leaning against a big stone behind her, and is lazily saying to a tiger: "Don't make any noise, it's not too late for you to call when someone comes to me!" The tone is soft and gentle, with coquettishness, as if he is talking to his best friend.

More than a dozen fierce beasts that eat people and do not spit out bones gathered together, and the delicious and weak "prey" was in front, and they did not attack and pounce, but did not have the slightest murderous spirit like tame cattle and sheep, and even permeated with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The four Tiantong Kingdom warriors who took the lead also couldn't help but hang down the hunting knives in their hands, loosened the tight bowstring and put down their bows and arrows, forgetting for a moment that these random ones in front of them were ruthless characters who could easily tear them in half.

The girl sitting in the herd of beasts was Bai Poria, she heard the footsteps, and when she looked up, she saw a large group of people who suddenly appeared, and her mother was among them, looking at her with a relieved and happy expression, and suddenly happily pressed a big black bear next to her to stand up, and quickly ran over and threw herself into her arms and shouted: "Mother! ”

Although Mu Peilan knew that her daughter was very good at animals, it was not until this moment that she saw that her daughter was safe and sound, and she really let go of her heart.

She gently pushed her daughter away, carefully looked at her from top to bottom, and said, "Mother is really dying, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately you are fine!" ”

Suddenly, she lowered her head and saw a few blood stains on her daughter's waist, so she lifted her heart again and exclaimed, "Are you injured?" ”

Bai Poria shook her head: "No, there is a big black bear who doesn't know what stimulus wants to bite me, but fortunately they helped to beat it away, and the blood belongs to the unlucky black bear." As he spoke, he pointed to the large group of beasts behind him.

Then he said aggrievedly: "But they rubbed desperately on me, and they rubbed a lot of saliva...... Sticky and dirty......"

Mu Peilan touched her head and said, "They saved your life, what does it matter if you let them rub it twice, go back and wash it clean." ”

Yang Heng saw that Bai Poria was safe and sound, and his tense heartstrings were loosened at once, and he almost lost his temper on the spot, but he was relatively calm after all, and looked at the large group of giant beasts that looked not very friendly and slowly surrounded them, and interjected with a wry smile: "If there is anything, we will talk about it when we go out safely, okay?" ”

Bai Poria turned her head to see him, knowing that he was here to save her, she smiled at him rarely, and then turned her head and waved to the more than ten tigers and black bears: "Don't come here, I will come to see you again when I have time." ”

As if they understood what she meant, the beasts reluctantly roared a few times, and sure enough, they stopped where they were. The forty Imperial Forest Soldiers who came with them were certainly surprised, but the four Heavenly Warriors were even more surprised and dazed.

Until a group of people safely withdrew from the zoo with all their beards and tails, they still couldn't believe that the more than a dozen tigers and black bears that had never been domesticated would bow down to a beautiful girl who looked like they were blown down by the wind, and they were even more honest and obedient than domestic cats and dogs.

Princess Antai, who was waiting outside the garden, and a group of royal forest soldiers saw that they came out safely, and Bai Poria had nothing to do, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The four warriors of the same country walked in front of Bai Poria, and suddenly fell to their knees, banging and knocking their heads several times, shouting "immortals", making Qi Guo and others cry and laugh, and several royal forest soldiers came up and pulled and persuaded them to take them away.

Yang Heng whispered a few words in Princess Antai's ear, nodded to Mu Peilan's mother and daughter, and took someone away.

Huilan Palace doesn't know what happened here, there are enough things these days, Princess Antai doesn't want to make any big trouble, so she asked Mu Peilan what she meant, so she took their mother and daughter back to Yihui Palace first, planning to freshen up, wait for the queen's funeral to end before sending them away, try not to alarm those women who entered the palace to worship.

The county lord of Xuanlong and the county lord of Yingluo will occasionally accompany their mother into the palace to live, and their clothes and ornaments are left in the palace, and the figure of Bai Poria is similar to that of the county lord of Yingluo, after bathing, the palace maid sent a plain white dress that the county lord of Yingluo had never worn for her to change, and then Mu Peilan took her to Princess Antai.

Today's trouble, it is impossible not to alarm the emperor, the two concubines in the palace who are temporarily in charge of the harem affairs also rushed to Yihui Palace to discuss the aftermath with Princess Antai, the matter involves the twelve princesses, the granddaughter of Bai Ge Lao and the wife of the general of Zhenbei, and Concubine Cao and Concubine Zhao are unwilling to provoke, so they naturally want to find a Princess Antai to "ask for an explanation".

When Mu Peilan and Bai Poria arrived, Concubine Cao and Concubine Zhao had just been sent away by Princess Antai.

From the bottom of her heart, Princess Antai's biggest headache now is not how to smooth out this matter and avoid causing a bigger incident, but how to appease Mu Peilan.

Her close friend has always had a revenge temperament, and the twelve princesses and Cui Zhenyi actually wanted to kill her daughter this time, it's no wonder she doesn't retaliate fiercely!
