Volume 1 Spoiling Chapter 38 Nanyuan Hunting (Murder)
When it was about to fall into the night, the group returned to the palace in Nanyuan.
Autumn nights are extraordinarily quiet, with a cool breeze blowing into the house. The crescent moon hung high in the sky, as if watching the tranquility of the night.
Chun Xi wore a turquoise middle coat and sat in front of the dresser by the window, while Lan Xin was removing the hair ornament on her head.
"The little lord is frightened today." Lan Xin was distressed, and the moment she saw her was also uneasy. The face was so pale that there was no blood, but he didn't let the imperial doctor take a look, he was always afraid that people would worry, and he kept saying that it was okay.
Chunxi looked at Lan Xin in the mirror, knew that she was worried, and comforted: "It's okay, it's much better now, and I was really scared at first." If Mu Hui is here, I'm afraid she will yell again. ”
"Sister Mu Hui is also worried about the little master." Lan Xin also thought of Mu Huilai. Originally, when she left the palace this time, she should have been accompanied by Mu Hui, but she was temporarily replaced by the little master: "The slave maid heard that this hunting area is heavily guarded, how can a black bear appear for no reason." It's weird to listen to. ”
"Maybe I got lost and stepped out of the line." Chun Xi smiled embarrassedly, this is not a glorious thing to get lost, she really doesn't want to mention it. Then I thought about it again and felt that it was wrong: "But I didn't see any guards around." ”
"That little master just hasn't stepped out of the line, it should be safe." Lan Xin also wondered, hearing her say this, there was something wrong. Every hunt will have a circled range, in order to ensure the safety of the emperor, this range must be heavily guarded. It didn't make sense that she stepped out of the line and didn't see the guards in sight.
"I want to think about it." Chunxi stood up, walked to the window, and carefully recalled what had happened during the day. When she got lost and didn't know how to go, he met Prince Chun, and after a few gossips, he went away again. How did she know that the more she walked, the more wrong it became, and at this time, she found a black bear not far away. Then, Prince Chun appeared in time to save her. Then it was An Guiren who saved Prince Chun. Then the three of them returned. There's nothing wrong with thinking about it that way, but the question is, how did the black bear end up there?
I thought about it several times, but I didn't know what was wrong with it.
"I seem to have forgotten something." Chun Xi muttered.
Lan Xin stepped forward: "Little Lord is trying to think about it? What happened before I saw the black bear? What happened when you met it? ”
After being reminded by Lan Xin, she thought about it again, and then realized that something was wrong: "I was frightened when I met it, where else did I have the heart to think about anything else." Later, I remember that when I first encountered it, it didn't attack me. Just a few circles around me. Then ......"
Lan Xin heard that she suddenly stopped talking, and her heart became even more anxious: "Then what's wrong?" ”
And then ...... It, sat down. Chun Xi tried hard to recall, and when she thought of this, she frowned again. Could it be that she was mistaken, and the black bear sat down? Chun Xi was also confused for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was right.
"Sit down? That means it doesn't mean to attack you, so why did it suddenly pounce? Lan Xin didn't understand it anymore.
"Yes, how could it suddenly ......" Chun Xi was at a loss, and suddenly a spirit remembered that scene: "No, it wasn't meant to pounce." It was frightened. Originally, it was sitting there, looking at me, and there was no malice. I was stunned for a moment, and was trying to figure out how to get out, when an arrow flew out of nowhere, and hit it right at its feet. ”
"Feet? If anyone saw such a scene, shouldn't they have been shot with an arrow? Lan Xin deeply felt that something was wrong, was this person's archery skills too bad? No, the black bear must be huge, and it was sitting there without moving, so it was impossible to shoot off.
"But that arrow did miss."
"Could it be that someone is trying to murder the little master?" Lan Xin was also shocked by her own thoughts, but she really couldn't think of any other reason.
"What's going on?" The sound of anger sounded from behind, and Chunxi and Lan Xin turned around and saw Xuan Ye standing in front of the door.
"Your Majesty." She was frightened, and she didn't know when he came in, but she didn't even notice it. The minions outside were silent.
"I ask you what's going on? How could anyone shoot an arrow? No arrows yet. But the seventh? Or an nobleman? I heard that she has always been at odds with you, is it because she wants to harm you? Xuan Ye strode up to her with a dark face.
"Probably not." Chun Xi shook his head. In fact, she didn't know what was going on at that time, if An Guiren wanted to harm her, then she wouldn't help the black bear when he was angry. Even if he really has a conflict with her, An Guiren is not such a vicious person. It's just a hard mouth and a soft heart. So what's going on?
Chun Xi was silent for a long time before he came to a conclusion: "There should be more than the three of us present at that time." ”
"If it's just the three of you, then why don't you come to the rescue?" Lan Xin asked.
"You said it yourself, someone is trying to harm me. If someone really harmed me, how could it be possible to show up and save me again? Chun Xi said.
"I've already asked people to check, and I believe it won't be long before the results will be found. It's you, get some rest. I'm in the palace these days, don't go out and walk around. Xuan Ye hugged her in his arms, full of pity. He really shouldn't have been separated from her, if she hurt somewhere today, but what if it was good.
Hearing Xuan Ye's arrangement, Chun Xi didn't want to agree. With such a good scenery, how can you miss it like this and let yourself spend it boringly here. It's hard to go back to the palace once, and you have to do nothing, what's the difference with the palace: "How can that be." ”
"I don't think it's that simple, obedient. When I've checked out and confirmed that it's safe, you'll go to the paddock, okay? Xuan Ye whispered in her ear.
"But......" Chun Xi wanted to say something more, but was kissed by Xuan Ye and couldn't speak.
Lan Xin naturally understands people, and when she saw this, she also retreated.
"Obedient." Xuan Ye moved away a little and instructed again, "No matter what happens, your safety is the most important thing. If someone really wants to harm you, how can I put you in danger? Can you think about it too? Well? ”
Chunxi nodded, snuggling into his arms. Although she really wanted to find out about it, there was no clue yet. Xuan Ye had already been checked, and she didn't have to bother thinking too much.
Today's events are really surprising, full of coincidences, but also make people feel an inexplicable fear. Chunxi began to be afraid, this was the first time she felt scared since she entered the palace. In the past, she always thought that everything could be solved, even though she had known that the harem was fighting endlessly, but she never thought that she would lose her life inexplicably.
She felt a pair of invisible hands behind her, constantly pushing her into the abyss.
The next day, Xuan Ye rewarded all the soldiers and ministers who had made a difference. He also gave An Guiren a set of golden arrows, and rewarded Wang Changzai with a piece of belonging.
The Empress Dowager led a group of concubines to visit the house, which made Chunxi not know what to do. There was no injury, and he worked hard to let so many people come to visit. When she saw the Queen Mother, Chunxi understood that Prince Chun was injured this time, and she really offended the Queen Mother.
Presumably, the Queen Mother really raised Prince Chun as her own child, and her son suffered, and the most uncomfortable thing was her mother.
And she is the one who hurt her son.
It is said that having a child is not as big as raising a child, and this sentence is well reflected in them.
Seeing the smile on An Guiren's face again, thinking that he had been rewarded today, he didn't even have a lot of mouth and fighting. The little golden arrow was also played with by her in her hand, and she didn't have the heart to look at it at all.
Concubine Tong was uncharacteristically concerned and said a lot of thoughtful words. Concubine Wan also prepared a lot of supplements as always, and Song Changzai has been caring about Chunxi since she entered the door.
As soon as Song Changzai entered the door, he stayed by Chunxi's side and asked long and short questions, which made Chunxi a little embarrassed.
It's just that Wang Chang is still the same as before, standing beside the Queen Mother, looking at her, and barely saying anything. The expression was also very indifferent, as if everything that happened now had nothing to do with her. It suddenly occurred to her that she should have been there yesterday. But later, I tried to compete with An Guiren, and I didn't know where I left her. Suddenly I want to know, where was she when it happened? And when did you come back?
She had insomnia for several days. She had nightmares almost every night, and when she woke up, she couldn't sleep.
Her dreams were the same, she would always dream that there was a black thing chasing her behind her, and no matter how much she ran, she couldn't escape its pursuit. Xuan Ye's daily companionship finally allowed Chunxi to fall asleep, and gradually stopped having nightmares.
She wanted to work hard to find the source of the nightmare, but unfortunately in the past few days, Xuan Ye did not find any news. The appearance of the black bear was only to say that the guard's personal soldiers were ineffective and did not check more carefully, and the scope of the hunt was completely unknown. As for the arrow that Chunxi said, it was not found at the scene.
Xuan Ye was naturally furious, but there was no other way. Nanyuan is so big, no matter how strict the guards are, there are times when they are lax. If someone does it on purpose and buys whom, it is difficult to find out in a short time.
This matter seems to have to be settled. Chun Xi didn't understand who wanted to murder him. She didn't even know when she had caused the killing.
In the palace, the most likely person who is not good for her is An Guiren, but this person is the one who will take his own life.
After that day, An Guiren seemed to be happy every day. During the days when she stayed in Nanyuan, as long as she had the opportunity, she would always ask Xuan Ye to allow her to participate together.
