"It seems that the situation is getting more and more complicated. Eldest Sun Qi said, "The person who went to find Tangerine just now was not sent by me. ”

"What?" Gu Tingjun's brows frowned slightly, "but it's getting more and more interesting, and even I can't figure it out." ”

"Anyway, let's go and tell Your Majesty about Tachibana's assassination first, today's hunting needs to be suspended, and a comprehensive search of the mountains may be able to find some clues and suspicious characters. Changsun Qi said.

"Since you are the person concerned, you should personally go and explain this matter to Your Majesty. Gu Tingjun said.

"Got it. Su Tang'an said, "I also want to know who set the trap and had to kill me." ”

Gu Tingjun got off the horse and was about to raise her hand to take Su Tang'an next, but she landed on the ground in a chic and neat manner, patted the horse's neck and said: "I didn't ride the horse you gave me today, it is a good horse, if I suffer, I will also feel distressed." ”

"Is it because the horse is good, the horse is distressed, or is it because the horse is distressed by me?" Gu Tingjun leaned over and asked.

The eldest grandson glanced at the two of them and said, "I know that the two of you are now in love with Jin Jian, and better than my brother for more than ten years, but if you want to flirt in private, let's get down to business now." ”

A trace of worry crossed his face, and he lowered his voice and said: "If there is really a queen to make a move, the second prince may be in danger, you go to meet Your Majesty first, and I will go to find the second prince first." ”

When the words fell, he got on his horse and galloped away.

"Let's go. Gu Tingjun said, "You should have met Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, you just tell what happened, but about the queen, there is no need to say, there is no evidence, it will only lead to burning." ”

"I know. Su Tang'an said lightly.

Then the two came to the emperor's tent together, Gu Tingjun said a few words to a eunuch waiting outside, the eunuch heard the words into the account, and came out after a while, and said respectfully: "Third Prince, Fifth Miss, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Gu Tingjun and Su Tang'an entered the camp tent, Emperor Zhou had already taken down the armor on his body, changed into a bright yellow regular clothes, saw the two of them entered, and saw that the clothes of the two were stained with blood, a little embarrassed, a touch of concern and worry flashed on his face, and asked, "What's the matter with the two of you?"

Su Ju'an looked at the emperor's appearance, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart, sighed slightly, knelt down and said, "Please Your Majesty make the decision for Ju'an!"

"What the hell is going on?" asked Emperor Zhou.

"Someone wants to kill the courtier, if it weren't for the third prince and the eldest grandson to save them in time, the courtiers are afraid that they have died on the spot and their souls will return to nine days!"

Emperor Zhou's face changed, and he was surprised: "You still have such a thing!"

Gu Tingjun then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that today's hunting will stop, first, I don't know if there are any sinister traps on this mountain like the one encountered by Fifth Miss, and secondly, the assassin has escaped, and he may still be on the mountain now, so he should search the mountain immediately, and maybe he can be caught." ”

Emperor Zhou thought for a while, called his henchman eunuch in, and said, "Pass the order, today's hunt will be canceled, and everyone will come back immediately." Let Commander Tong come over!"

"Yes!" the eunuch immediately went down to deliver the message.

"You two, get up and speak. Emperor Zhou said, "Are you injured?" Do you need to call the imperial doctor to come and show you?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the courtiers are safe and sound and not injured. Su Juan said.

"So is the minister. ”

"That's good. Emperor Zhou looked at Su Ju'an with concern and gentleness and said, "Even if you are not injured, you must have been frightened a lot, I now order someone to escort you to the Huihou Mansion and take a good rest." If there is anything more to this day, I will definitely catch the assassin and give you justice. ”

"The minister has nothing else to do now, or the minister will escort the fifth lady back. Gu Tingjun said.

"You stay, I have something to say to you. Tachibana will arrange for someone else to escort you back. Emperor Zhou said.

"Obey. ”

The courtier took her leave. Su Tang'an glanced at Gu Tingjun, turned around and left the battalion commander, and before he left for a while, he saw a eunuch step forward and said, "Your Majesty ordered the servants to escort the fifth lady back." ”

"I'm going to go and say hello to the queen first. ”

"Fifth Miss rest assured, Niangniang, the slave will arrange for someone to report the news. ”

"So, thank you. ”

In the tent, a shallow smile tugged at the corner of Gu Tingjun's mouth and asked, "What does Your Majesty want to say to your ministers?"

"How did you know that Tangerine was in danger?" asked Emperor Zhou.

"This ...... Chen has always been not interested in hunting, and walked to a remote place, and happened to meet the fifth lady in danger. Gu Tingjun said.

"I'm also a man, why don't I know what you think?" Emperor Zhou smiled, "It's just that Tang An has just gone through some bad things, and I need to give her time to relax, I won't marry her in a short time, but you ......"

He glanced at Gu Tingjun: "One has no official position, and the other has no title to inherit, what is worthy of her?"

"Your Majesty, you can't say that, although the minister has no official and no lord, but the fifth lady is under the tutelage of Ziwei Palace, she must also be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and she is chic and comfortable, and she will definitely not care about those things outside the body, not to mention, the minister is still handsome!"

"You're happy to admit it!"

"The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, she does want to win the fifth miss, but she doesn't seem to want to marry the minister, and the minister won't give up like this. ”

"You kid. Emperor Zhou smiled, "There is only one princess under my knees, and Tang Anzhen is quite close to her, treating her as a daughter, if you really want to marry her, show your sincerity." I have always admired your talents, and I have asked you to serve in the court several times, but you have declined, if you are mediocre and incompetent, I will be fine, you are obviously a very talented person, why do you not want to serve the court?"

"Your Majesty, everyone has their own aspirations. Gu Tingjun said with a wry smile.

"Well, I won't force you, but I still hope you can think about it. ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, Tong Tong, who was in charge of the safety of the paddock, entered, and when he heard that someone had been assassinated, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Emperor Zhou said coldly: "Don't be busy pleading guilty first, immediately close the mountain, send people to protect the safety of everyone in the hunting ground, and then search the mountain to find out the assassins! If you can catch the assassin and solve this public case, you can be punished, and if nothing can be found, you will be punished for both crimes!"

Commander Tong broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly kowtowed and said yes, and then hurriedly went out to send troops to protect the safety of the nobles, if the princes made a mistake, he would not be able to cut off ten heads!

The eldest grandson Qi hurriedly rode his horse to find Li Changyan, the prince traveled, there were many guards, but it was not difficult to find, he glanced at Li Changyan's prey, there were a few, compared to previous years, it was far worse, and stepped forward and asked: "What's the matter?

"There's no need to compete with the prince now, it's better that he doesn't realize my existence. Li Changyan smiled slightly, "Isn't this the strategy you provided for me, but it looks quite effective, you see!"

The eldest grandson Qi looked in the direction pointed by Li Changyan's horsewhip, they were now on a hillside, and there were two sides of people and horses facing each other below, one of them was naturally the majestic Li Changlong, and the other was ......

"Zheng Peiquan?" Eldest Sun Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, "What are they doing?"

"Fighting for a prey, the two shot an elk at the same time. Li Changyan said lightly.

"Compete with the prince for prey?Zheng Peiquan is crazy?" Eldest Sun Qi smiled disdainfully, "Even if the power of Xuanyuan Marquis leans towards the government and the opposition, Zheng Peiquan does not have the capital to clash head-on with the prince, what does the Zheng family want to do?"

"Zheng Peiquan, this kid is the only son of Xuanyuan Hou, he has been lawless since he was a child, he used to be young, and he never put him in his eyes, but now he is becoming more and more crazy, but the more crazy the better, if he has a grudge with the prince, who do you say Xuanyuan Hou will help?" Li Changyan smiled and said.

He turned his horse's head and asked as he went, "Did you come in such a hurry, what happened?"

"It's dangerous here, or an assassin infiltrates, so go back to the base camp first. Eldest Sun Qi said briefly.

After the words fell, the group rode towards the direction of the base camp, and below, the two sides of the confrontation finally ended temporarily with Li Changlong retreating, he had a light smile on his face, but there was a gloomy eagle in his eyes, and he smiled: "Isn't it just an elk all the time? If you want to take it!"

"It's not that I want, it's mine!" Zheng Peiquan tilted his chin slightly, with an unruly expression, "But thank you for your humility, I don't seem to have a lot of prey in Your Highness, do you need me to give you some?"

"No need, you can keep it for yourself! For the sake of your young age and cousin of this palace, this palace doesn't care about you, but you have to do it yourself, and don't take it as an example!" The smile on Li Changlong's face dissipated, and he said coldly, and then drove the horse away.

Zheng Peiquan smiled provocatively: "Although I am a few years younger than His Highness, but today's top spot, I'm afraid that it will fall into my hands, Your Highness won't mind, right?"

The subordinate beside him said worriedly: "Childe, you provoke the prince so much, if you let the prince know......"

"What are you afraid of!" Zheng Peiquan snorted, "He was able to ascend to the crown prince by relying on my father, if he didn't have my father, where would he be today? My father's future will be mine, if he wants to ascend the throne, he will have to rely on me in the future! Don't worry, he won't say anything about today's affairs!"
