At this moment, I was so frightened that my limbs were weak, and I didn't have the strength to stand up and escape, so I could only keep groping and retreating, but the tiger had already noticed me, and the green eyes were always on me, staring at me, and two seemingly soft and huge tiger paws stepped out of the grass and walked towards me step by step.

Just then, there was a pop from behind.

Looking back, it was Pei Yuanhao who pushed Nangong Lizhu down the river, and said sharply: "Don't come up!" ”

Nangong Lizhu fell into the river all of a sudden, and suddenly the water splashed, his whole body was soaked, his makeup was messy, and his hair was also washed away by some turbulent river water, and it was stuck to his face and neck indiscriminately.

She was also really frightened, curled up in the river and did not move, only one head was exposed, and her face was pale.

At that moment, I moved my hand backwards and stumbled upon something hard.

It's a stone!

My heart chuckled, and I immediately clung to it as if I had grasped a life-saving straw, and the hard and sharp edge of the stone was grinding to the point that my palm was about to break, but I didn't care at all, and hurriedly grabbed the stone and lifted it up.

I don't know if it was because of the voice behind me, or my movements, that stimulated the tiger, and it opened its bloody mouth less than a few feet away from me, and let out an earth-shattering roar at me.

"Whew!"

A gust of wind blew in my face with the roar, and I saw that the tiger's mouth and fangs were covered with blood, and there were some small scraps of flesh.

It just ate!

As soon as I thought of this, my heart suddenly seemed to flash a bright light, and at this time, there was also a rush of footsteps behind me, and I heard Pei Yuanhao's heavy gasp accompanied by that footstep, each of which seemed to be stepping on people's hearts: "Qingying!" ”

"Don't come here......"

My hands trembling as I grasped the stones, and my voice was completely fragmented: "Don't-don't come......"

As soon as I shouted, the tiger's green eyes had already risen with a bloodthirsty and fierce meaning, and the whole huge body slowly squatted back, and I was so frightened that my throat was about to burst, and I shouted: "Don't come here!" ”

It was too late, but the tiger leaped violently, and its huge body suddenly rose into the air and pounced on me.

At this moment, I only thought in my heart - I am dead!

If it was in the past, maybe people would give up at this moment, but at this time, my heart seems to be burning with a flame, and I can't let myself face this qiē calmly.

I don't want to die!

I don't want to die!

I still have a lot of things to do, especially my daughter, Li'er - I haven't even seen her again, can I never even see my own daughter again in this life?!

As soon as I thought of this, I gritted my teeth fiercely, and a force that came out of nowhere made me struggle to stand up all of a sudden, and hurriedly turned around and ran back.

As soon as he turned around, a silver light swished, as fast as lightning flashed in front of his eyes.

I shuddered as the light brushed my sideburns.

A gust of wind swept by, stabbing my cheeks with a slight pain, and when I opened my eyes wide, I saw Pei Yuanhao not far from me, with a strong bow in one hand, aimed behind me.

Then, a deafening tiger roar was heard behind him.

When I looked at it again, the arrow just pierced into one of the tiger's eyes, and suddenly the blood flowed, and the tiger stood up in pain, and the two tiger claws kept playing with the face, touching the blood all over the face, which looked extremely hideous, and I was so frightened by the scene that my feet were weak, and I staggered to him: "Run!" Come on! ”

He also withdrew his bow and arrows, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed one of my arms, and the two of them could no longer care about anything, and hurried forward.

But just as we had just run a few steps, we heard another angry earth-shattering roar behind us, followed by the sound of a tiger running over, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and my anxious teeth were knocking: "Where are your guards?!" ”

“……”

He gritted his teeth and didn't speak, but the expression on his face was distorted because he gritted his teeth too much.

And then, as soon as my feet went limp, he fell down, and he stumbled under my twist, and felt a gust of wind pass overhead, and it was the huge tiger, which leaped towards us, and just as it was over our heads, and fell on the river in front of us with a pop, and all the sand and gravel stirred up into the river.

Suddenly, the water splashed, and Nangong Lizhu was drenched again.

This tiger is falling in Nangong Lizhu, and among us!

At this moment, Nangong Lizhu in the river was also frightened, looking at the tiger with a pale face, the tiger seemed to see her, and let out an angry roar in his throat, but he didn't pounce, which still scared Nangong Lizhu enough, and his voice was trembling: "Emperor-Emperor-"

"Don't be afraid, Zhu'er!"

When Pei Yuanhao saw this scene, he hurriedly stood up, pulled out an arrow from behind his back and immediately wound his bow, and shot towards the tiger in one go.

However, this time the accuracy was not so good, perhaps his hand trembled so much, but he only shot at the side of the tiger's claws, but it woke it up, and the tiger hurriedly turned around, and its green eyes were fixed on us, as if the old and new hatred were coming together, and rushed towards us.

"Be careful!"

My hissing voice sounded violently, but it was too late, I felt a gust of wind coming, the tiger had already pounced, Pei Yuanhao gritted his teeth, threw away the bow in his hand, and crossed his arm to block the tiger, the tiger's two huge tiger claws grabbed his arm, and with a fierce grasp, he saw a piece of blood splashing everywhere, and his arm was grabbed with several deep wounds, and the blood flowed like a pour.

"Your Majesty!" I shouted, struggling to pass, but Pei Yuanhao gritted his teeth hard and didn't say a word, just held the tiger stiffly, the sharp fangs and barbed tongue were in front of me, the tiger's front paws kept grabbing his arm, a piece of flesh and blood was blurred, and his hind legs kept fluttering, desperately rushing forward.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my palm, as if my bones had been broken, and when I looked down, it was the stone I had just caught, and I had not thrown it away!

As soon as I saw a sharp protrusion on the stone, I suddenly sobered up, gritted my teeth and hurriedly turned over and stood up, violently grabbed the back of the tiger, picked up the stone in my hand, and hit the back of the tiger's head desperately.

Pei Yuanhao also seemed to be startled, looking at me with wide eyes, and at this moment I couldn't care about anything, I only used all my strength to hit the sharp stone on the back of the tiger's head again and again, once, once, and soon I saw blood!

The tiger was so angry with me that it roared and was about to roll over and break away.

I was also frightened in my heart, and I was afraid that if I was pounced on by it, everything would really be over.

But just when the tiger was about to turn over, Pei Yuanhao stretched out his two hands and pinched both sides of its neck vigorously, stuck, almost ripped off the tiger skin, the tiger's head was accused by him, and he couldn't turn over, so he could only use his two claws to keep pulling, scratching his shoulders full of injuries, and the ground behind him was also dug out of two huge pits by its two hind paws, and sand and stones were splashed.

At this moment, I couldn't do anything anymore, and I hit the stone on its head with all my strength, and after a while, the flesh and blood were pierced, and I felt that the stone had touched the bones, but my hand was really painful, and the finger bones were almost numb, and when I hit it again, I couldn't grasp it steadily, and the stones were all knocked away.

I don't have anything in my hands, but I can't relax! I grabbed the wound with both hands and clawed so hard that my nails almost fell off. In the end, he even lowered his head and bit the back of the tiger's head with his mouth and teeth!

Blood poured into my mouth, and a fishy taste suddenly overflowed my mouth, I bit it and didn't move, I didn't know what was going on around me, but I seemed to hear Pei Yuanhao shouting, and then, I saw a flash of silver light in front of me, and a strong crossbow shot into the tiger's other eye, I heard it let out a final, deafening roar, and the slow struggle slowed down, and many people poured out of the surroundings, one after another, holding a short knife, cut the tiger's throat at once, Immediately, blood sprayed Pei Yuanhao's face, and he felt the huge body under him tremble violently, and finally slowly softened.

Pei Yuanhao let go of his hands and lay there panting, the tiger and I were all pressed on him, but he didn't seem to feel heavy at all, he just kept looking at me with wide eyes, and kept watching.

I also looked at him, almost suffocating, when I felt a hand gently reach out to my shoulder: "Lord Yue......"

For a while, I couldn't react, I was still lying on the tiger's back like this, and I heard a somewhat familiar voice in my ear, and said as softly as possible: "Lord Yue, it's okay, it's okay." ”

“……”

"You can let go."

“……”

As he spoke, the hand gently reached over and rubbed my chin. I shuddered, and then I realized that I was still biting on a piece of flesh on the back of the tiger's head, so nervous that I could barely let go.

At this time, I slowly raised my head, and what caught my eye was Sun Jingfei's dark but resolute face, he looked at me with concern, and said as softly as possible: "Lord Yue, it's okay, you let go." ”

"Woo......"

"The tiger is dead."

“……”

"It's okay."

As he spoke, he gently pinched my jaw, I only felt that my face was all stiff, and I had no way to relax, he gently pinched it, and my teeth were peeled out of the flesh, and the tip of my tongue seemed to have been bitten, and the blood spread to my throat, and I swallowed it unconsciously, and I felt that my whole body was stimulated by the smell of blood and trembled.

I lay on the tiger's back, trembling and looking at the big guy under me, it had already lost its breath, its hideous face stiffened at the last moment of roaring, and blood continued to drip down his face, dyeing Pei Yuanhao's face blood-red.

Only those eyes are still looking at me with extra brightness.

Really, it's okay!

It's safe!

As soon as I understood this situation, my whole body was completely out of strength, and I fell from the tiger's back with a mouthful of flesh and blood, and the wolf fell to the ground.

"Lord Yue!"

The people around me were also startled and rushed over, but I didn't seem to be able to see clearly, lying on my back, feeling the sun above my head flashing blindly, I could only see those chaotic figures swaying constantly, but I couldn't catch a familiar face. After a while, the tiger was also moved, and Pei Yuanhao slowly turned sideways and looked down at me.

After a while, he stretched out his hand, and his hand full of scars slowly reached out to me, wiping the blood from my mouth, but just wiped some away, but there was something else, and the hot thing dripped down, diluting the blood at the corner of his mouth, like a surging tide, and could no longer be stopped.

He frowned and hugged me: "Qingying! ”

“…… Woooooooo

"It's okay."

“……”

"It's all right!"

I was speechless, and I didn't have the strength to struggle anymore, but I kept spasming and trembling in his arms, as if I had just woken up from a nightmare, with a bloody and evil aura, and if anyone threatened me any more, I would definitely make his blood splash on the spot!

He didn't say anything, he hugged me so hard that I almost felt pain, but the pain reminded me again and again-

I'm alive!

I'm still alive, I'm still breathing, I can go to my departed, I can go to see the people I want to meet, I can do what I want to do!

I'm alive!

I was in his arms, crying, until the trembling figure was lifted up from the river and approached us little by little.

And I, too, raised my head with tears in my eyes, and looked at the guards, ministers, and palace maids and eunuchs around me, but everyone was so blurry, I couldn't see clearly, I couldn't see anything clearly, until the end, I didn't see clearly, that person, did he appear......

The two men who fought with the tiger were taken back to the camp like heroes fighting the tiger, but the situation was not as rosy as it seemed.

I'm okay, after being seen by the doctor, but my left hand was hurt by a stone, and my nails fell off a little, so I was bandaged with medicine, and I was told not to use force these days.

But Pei Yuanhao didn't have as much luck as me.

On his arm, several wounds on both shoulders were scratched by tigers, and some places were almost bone-like, especially the arm in order to support the weight of the tiger, and was caught for so long, it was already bloody and blurred, and several doctors accompanying him from the hospital were so frightened that they almost fainted when they saw the injury, and they didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly stepped forward to treat it. It was a dressing and a bandage, and it took a long time to barely deal with it.

However, things are not so simple.

In the evening, Pei Yuanhao began to have a fever.

After such a great fright, and so badly injured, it was already at the limit of manpower, and soon his whole body was burned unconscious, he could not say anything, the corners of his eyes were red, and his lips were dark colors.

Several accompanying concubines were guarding outside the king's tent, only the queen and Concubine Li were waiting inside, Chang Qing **** cold water from the golden basin, twisted it moist, and carefully put it on his forehead, but it didn't look good at all, his lips quickly burned dry and cracked, and his brows were kept tightly locked, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Nangong Lizhu has been standing by the bed, his eyes are also red, looking at him, looking back at me, a mouthful of silver teeth clucking, after a while, finally as if he couldn't hold back, said: "You, you are really capable!" ”

"......" I stood in the corner, silent and silent.

"This palace told you to talk about it here, if the emperor has something-"

Before her cruel words could be put down, Chang Qing had already opened her mouth without looking back: "What's what?" ”

“……”

"Concubine Li, the emperor is sick, and that's how you serve the emperor?"

“……”

She is usually gentle and obedient on weekdays, and when she gets angry like this, she is particularly scary, Nangong Lizhu was also shocked by her, but she still gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Anyway, he must not be fine!" ”

“……”

"Definitely, necessarily!"

Looking at her red eyes, as if I hated it so much in my heart, I didn't know what to say or think for a while, but I looked at the man on the bed a little wordlessly. If someone else was injured like this and burned like this, it would inevitably moan in pain, but he just frowned, gritted his teeth, and didn't make a sound at all.

I slowly lowered my head and looked at my tiptoes.

Chang Qing also turned his head and looked at Nangong Lizhu's red eyes, and after a while, he said, "This palace knows, and you are also sad in your heart." ”

“……”

"You go back first, there is a palace to watch."

"I don't!"

Nangong Lizhu didn't even need honorifics this time, just stood there stubbornly: "I want to look at him!" ”

Although Nangong Lizhu has always been on bad terms with the queen, and there were a lot of calculations before, at least on the surface, it was perfunctory, but this time it was a little unexpected, even Chang Qing frowned, looked back at her, and looked at me again.

Actually, I can understand.

Before the spring hunt, her father had already had an accident, and now Pei Yuanhao was seriously injured again - as a woman, the two most important men in her life had such an accident, such a blow was unlike any previous one, no wonder she was so messy.

Chang Qing saw that I was silent like this, and seemed to understand something, sighed softly, and was just about to speak, when I heard the originally noisy voices outside as if they were quiet.

Then, the voice of the Jade Gonggong sounded low outside-

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

The Queen Mother is here?!

When we heard this, we were all shocked, Chang Qing also hurriedly stood up from the side of the bed, only to see the tent being lifted, the Queen Mother slowly walked in from the outside, and we hurriedly knelt down: "Meet the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother changed into a somewhat heavy brocade dress this time, as if she was overwhelmed by the chill here, but her pale face and slender wrists also gave people a feeling of being weak, she waved her hand lightly, didn't say anything, slowly walked to the side of the bed, and looked down at the emperor on the bed.

Pei Yuanhao was still asleep as he was just now, unconscious at all.

She looked down for a while before she raised her head and said to Chang Qing, "What did the Imperial Doctor say?" ”

"The imperial doctor said that the emperor has too many injuries, although they are all external injuries, this time because it was originally a spring hunt, and he also brought excellent injury medicine, but because of the wounds, the emperor is now feverish, which is a little difficult to do."

"Hmm......"

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, leaned over, touched his forehead with her slender hand, and frowned unconsciously between her eyebrows.

"The queen mother, the concubines and others will take good care of the emperor, you-"

Chang Qing didn't finish her words, and saw the Queen Mother waving her hand gently.

Everyone was a little stunned, and before they knew how to react, they saw the Queen Mother holding her clothes, slowly sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the person on the bed, and said without looking back: "You all go out." ”

“……”

"It's good for the mourners to look at him."

“……！”

Not only me, but even Chang Qing and Nangong Lizhu were shocked.

The indifferent relationship between Pei Yuanhao and the Queen Mother, even if he can hide it from others, naturally he can't hide it from these people, but he doesn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly came over at this time and even took care of him in person. Chang Qing thought for a while, stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, your body is also-"

"Needless to say, you all go down."

“……”

Although the Queen Mother usually doesn't manage the affairs of the harem, as soon as she speaks, Chang Qing can't say anything, and we look at each other, but we can't say anything more, so we can only cautiously retreat from inside.

As soon as he came out of the king's tent, the atmosphere around him immediately changed.

In the king's tent, the heavy tent could still hide the eyes and voices of some people, but as soon as they came out, it was already clear that they had to face everyone's frightened eyes and whispered discussions, and several ministers immediately surrounded them, respectfully saluted Chang Qing, and couldn't wait to ask: "Queen Mother, the emperor he-"

Chang Qing said calmly: "The emperor is fine. ”

"Huh? Well, just healed them—"

"The palace has already said that the emperor has only suffered some external injuries, and the dragon's body is a little sick, and there is no big problem."

Hearing her say this, those officials, you look at me, I look at you, the expressions on their faces became very fast, but they immediately said: "That's the case, it's really good." ”

"It's good that the emperor is okay, it's okay."

"The emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can he be injured by a mere tiger......"

"Hehe, hehe......"

Listening to these people's words, Chang Qing just faintly and didn't say anything, so she asked them to help her go back to rest, and told the people outside to report any movement to her immediately.

Nangong Lizhu ordered the same words and left.

I stood in the doorway, still unmoving.

In fact, the people around me may not want to ask me, after all, I was by the emperor's side when he had an accident, and I was also injured on my body, and the situation can be known with just a guess, but looking at the way they looked at me, it seemed that they still had some scruples, and they talked about it in twos and threes, but they didn't come forward to ask.

And I, my mind is not on them, just looking around.

After looking at it for a moment, my brow furrowed.

What's going on?

Just when the doubts and uneasiness in my heart became more and more serious, my eyes also subconsciously looked at the other side, a group of the most special people.

Shen Gongyun and several old generals stood not far away, and several people also looked at this side, and they obviously heard Chang Qing's words just now, but the light in their eyes didn't seem to be the same thing at all.

Of course, I understand what they mean.

Even if no one says it explicitly, but the people in the officialdom, which one's eyes have not been refined in the oil pot, at this time, Pei Nianshen's matter came out, and the emperor's mouth spit out two days ago, the affairs of Shen Taifu and the emperor can more or less guess some shadows.

And Pei Yuanhao was attacked at this time, and he was so seriously injured!

If he was still in the imperial city, even if the emperor was really sick, he would still be able to follow the rules, but now it was spring hunting, and in such a wilderness, things would be completely different.

If there is really any dissenting heart in life, and there is any chaos, I am afraid that it will be like a wildfire, and it will not be easy to clean up.

Thinking of this, my eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, and the people over there seemed to be a slight movement, and after a while, it was still the tall and burly old general Chen Fu, who walked over to me with a shy stomach: "Lord Yue." ”

"Old General Chen, it's polite."

"Well said." He raised his hand and stared at the bandage on my hand again: "Lord Yue's injury, be careful." ”

"Thank you for the reminder from the old general, the lower officer knows."

"Hmm......" He nodded slowly, looking at me, and there was a little light in the old eyes under the gray eyebrows: "The Queen Mother is looking at the emperor now?" ”

"Yes."

"Queen Mother, why did she come here again?"

"......" When I heard this, my brows frowned, I raised my head to look at him, my heart was stable, and then I said calmly: "The emperor has suffered some injuries, although it is only skin trauma, in the end, the mother and son are connected, how can the queen mother not feel distressed." ”

When Chen Fu heard this, his face suddenly froze.

At this time, behind him, Shen Gongyun and several other old generals also walked over, and suddenly faced such a few old ministers, for a while I also felt a little depressed, and my breathing was slightly cramped, only to see Shen Gongyi's pair of fine and restrained eyes looking at me, with a little smile, and said, "What Lord Yue said is true." ”

“……”

"Mother and son, heart-to-heart, ......"
