Shen Miao said: "Are you going to the infield now?" The uneasy premonition in her heart became heavier and heavier, so much so that Shen Miao almost had the urge to hold Xie Jingxing and not let him leave.
Xie Jingxing glanced at her deeply, and his eyes were dark for the first time: "The plan has changed." โ
Shen Miao clenched her fists, looked at him and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." โ
Xie Jingxing didn't speak again, turned the horse's head, raised the whip and patted the horse, and the iron coat followed closely behind. The two faded away, and they were no longer visible in the smoke and dust from the horses' hooves.
Shen Miao sat on horseback with the reins tight, and at this time, she was no longer in the mood to wander around the outfield. Mo Qing said: "Madam, let's go back." โ
Shen Miao nodded, and Mo Qing and a group of guards escorted Shen Miao away. Despite this, Shen Miao's heart was still "fluttering", and she tried her best to calm herself down. Think carefully about every detail of things.
Today's events seem to be full of dangers. Emperor Yongle's position in the Daliang court is not as stable as imagined, among which the Lu family soldiers will be the leader, faintly plotting against him, and most importantly, the Lu family seems to have worked for the emperor before.
Just like some emperors were unwilling to pass on the throne to a certain son, could it be that the position of Emperor Yongle was also unjustifiable, and he used some means, so that the first emperor held a grudge and laid a big net after a hundred years of ancient times, in order to pull him off the horse one day?
Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yongle should have made some arrangements for this, but they didn't know why Emperor Yongle entered the infield alone before the signal started and went up to Hualuan Peak. There are only two possibilities, one is that someone in the Praetorian Guard coerced Emperor Yongle, and Emperor Yongle was forced to enter the infield in advance. Second, this is Emperor Yongle's own idea, he should have made a certain decision, but he did not discuss it with Xie Jingxing.
Shen Miao felt that it should be the second type, because there were some courtiers and others walking in the outfield, even those who were hiding ghosts in the Praetorian Guard, and they would not choose to do it here, and they would definitely let Emperor Yongle enter the infield, and no one would make a move after no one.
But why did Emperor Yongle go in early, and what decision did he make to make Xie Jingxing so nervous, it seemed that Shen Miao had never seen such a grim look on Xie Jingxing's face.
She walked along with the horse's steps in a drowsy state, and happened to see a long cry from an eagle flying in the sky, and suddenly a stirring in her heart, an unbelievable thought came to her mind.
However, the thought was quickly denied by her, and she shook her head, soothing herself to herself.
waited out of the field, but saw Mrs. Ji at a glance. Mrs. Ji didn't go hunting in the field with Lord Ji, and waited outside. Shen Miao didn't have any acquaintances in Longye, so she walked up to greet Mrs. Ji.
"Why did the princess come out so early. Mrs. Ji smiled: "I thought I would play more in it." There are many foxes in the outfield, and sometimes with good luck, you can hunt a rare black fox, and take the skin as a scarf, which is warm and beautiful. โ
Shen Miao smiled slightly: "I'm just going in with them to join in the fun, and I don't know how to hunt." He looked at Mrs. Ji again and said, "Madame doesn't need to be called by the princess and princess, after all, she is also a relative, just call me a beautiful lady." I also called my wife and aunt with a shy face. โ
Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed more enthusiastically: "It turns out that Jing Xing has told you, in this case, I won't do those vain things, just call Jiao Niang." โ
Shen Miao smiled, Luo Xueyan has no sisters and only brothers, so she only has an uncle and no aunt, but it is fresh to have an aunt at this time. However, looking at Mrs. Ji dignified and decent, she seems to be a person in the situation, and she speaks extremely cheerfully. Shen Miao thought about it for a while, and felt that it was again, otherwise how could he raise a temperament like Ji Yushu.
Mrs. Ji took Shen Miao's hand and said as she walked to the other end: "Today, Jing Xing and Xingzhi will go hunting in the infield, and you will wait outside with me." When it falls in the future, they should come back, and the two of you will go to Ji Mansion to have a meal together, speaking of which, Jing Xing has not come to our house to eat since he came back this time. โ
Shen Miao responded with a smile, and suddenly thought of Xie Jingxing, and suddenly became a little worried, so she asked: "Auntie, is this infield dispute dangerous or not...... dangerous." A male lion, I'm afraid it's not easy to hunt. โ
Mrs. Ji sighed: "These are all rules set by the founding of the country, after so many years, it was supposed to be abolished, but the first emperor ......" She paused in her tone, looked at Shen Miao again, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, you still have the Praetorian Guard, although the beasts are fierce, those guards are not vegetarians." Moreover, the two brothers also have martial arts, and they are not idlers who are powerless, and their kung fu is more than enough for self-preservation. โ
When Shen Miao heard this, she also smiled, but she thought about it in her heart, it seemed that Mrs. Ji didn't know. If you were aware, you would definitely not show such a relaxed expression. The Praetorian Guards weren't as safe as they seemed. Mrs. Ji is not a person who can discuss things, Shen Miao regretted it a little at this time, she should have called Pei Lang together, at least she could discuss things at this time. She has no acquaintances in Longye, and she doesn't know anything about some of Xie Jingxing's arrangements, so it's not beautiful to make arrangements rashly.
At the far edge of the outfield, far from the bushes, there is a pergola that has been erected immediately. Because all the nobles who came today were kings and nobles, they also carried a lot of ice cubes together. It was very cool at this time, and some young ladies and ladies sat in it, drinking tea and eating snacks, and occasionally saw their families come back, bringing some prey, and they also felt very happy, and cheered and jumped forward to show off.
In the end, it is a fresh play.
Shen Miao's heart gradually sank, looking at the misty Hualuan Peak in the distance, the Hualuan Peak is steep, and you can't see the end at a glance, everyone here is chatting and rejoicing, who knows if it is fighting to the death? Or what kind of fierce battle? Is the prey really just a lion, or is it a golden dragon above the nine heavens?
Just thinking about it, someone came over on the other side, and Shen Miao raised her eyes to see that it was the shrewd and silent Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye walked up to Mrs. Ji and sat down, looked at Mrs. Ji and smiled, "Why didn't you go in?"
"Where I can hunt, just watch. Mrs. Ji also laughed. Although the Ji family and the Ye family have no contact, they always have to do something in terms of face. After all, Ye Maocai's official position is not much different from Ji Zuo's, and even a little higher. Mrs. Ji said, "Mrs. Ye won't go in either?"
"I'm not going," Mrs. Ye waved her hand: "My body is bones, and I can't stand it tossing and turning on the horse." Her gaze fell on Shen Miao, and said, "Why didn't the princess go in?" Didn't you just see the prince and the princess go in with the princess, why don't you have more fun?"
Shen Miao's heart moved, Mrs. Ye's words seemed to be testing something, could it be that she also knew a little bit about today's infield? The Lu family and the Ye family have delicate identities in Longye, which is already worth noting. She said: "The sun was too big, and I was dizzy from the sun, so I came back first." He made a slight disgust: "Besides, I can't see the scene of killing." โ
Mrs. Ji smiled: "Prince Rui is soft-hearted, but it's no wonder, even the ordinary daughter's family doesn't want to see the rabbit even killed." As if she was afraid that Mrs. Ye would continue to interrogate Shen Miao, Mrs. Ji deliberately diverted the conversation and asked Mrs. Ye: "Speaking of which, I heard that Young Master Ye had pain a few days ago, but is it better?"
Young Master Ye naturally refers to the concubine of the Ye family who was born and was raised under the name of Mrs. Ye. When Mrs. Ye heard this, she said: "It's okay, it's all old problems, it hurts when it rains, and there is nothing I can do for so many years." The tone was full of indifference.
Shen Miao later learned from Octagon that this Young Master Ye was a sister-in-law in the Ye family on the surface, and his subordinates treated him very respectfully, but in fact, they all felt that he had no future. Mrs. Ye only got by with him on the face, but she never really cared about him.
Shen Miao felt that this unmasked Young Master Ye was a little pitiful.
Mrs. Ji had another hard fight with Mrs. Ye. It was probably also a deliberate attempt to divert Mrs. Ye's attention. Later, Mrs. Ye seemed to be a little impatient, so she got up and left.
Shen Miao and Mrs. Ji sat together again and waited.
The sun gradually went down, but Emperor Yongle and Xie Jingxing still had no shadows.
Shen Miao instructed Mo Qing: "Go and inquire and see, is there any news about them?"
Mrs. Ji smiled: "Don't worry, there have been times like this, because of the patience of hunting, time often passes in a flash." The road to Hualuan Peak is too steep, and it is difficult to walk when it is dark, so I will not come back until the next day. Having said that, the slight anxiety in his eyes was still captured by Shen Miao.
Shen Miao didn't know if she was too sensitive, if she didn't know some things about Xie Jingxing before, she might really be relieved. But this time I had a bad premonition, and I knew that Xie Jingxing's trip was not as easy as it seemed on the surface, so my heart was tightly raised.
As the sun set, it grew dark. The emperor has not yet returned, except for some young ladies and ladies who have returned, and the courtiers are still around the hunting grounds. Shen Miao asked if it was the first time that Mrs. Ji had such a situation, and Mrs. Ji said, "Not really, but there have been very few in the past." โ
Some of the courtiers had already set up camp and made tents out of long cloth, so that at night even in summer they would not be exposed to the dew for fear of catching a cold. The Ji family also made such tents.
Shen Miao was still walking outside, but she saw Lu Wan'er standing not far away, talking to a middle-aged man. It seemed to be coquettish or pleading, but the man was unmoved, and then Lu Wan'er was dragged into the carriage and escorted away by a group of guards.
It was about Lu Wan'er who wanted to stay here, but this man was not allowed. Shen Miao was about to leave, but the man seemed to feel Shen Miao's gaze, and turned his head suddenly, revealing a fierce face. He was as burly as a bear, and his face was full of bloodlust, as if his temper was also very irritable. Looking at Shen Miao, her eyes were very gloomy. Octagon said: "That's the head of the Lu family, General Lu Zhengchun." โ
Shen Miao suddenly realized that this was Lu Wan'er's father, the military general of the Lu family. Immediately, I was surprised in my heart, both are military generals, and Shen Xin is also very heroic, but he is not as violent as this person looks so violent, and he can hardly hide the murderous aura in his heart. is a natural killing god, Shen Miao was strange before, Mrs. Lu, Lu Wan'er and Concubine Jing didn't look very smart, how did the Lu family maintain such a reputation and status in Longye, and now that they saw Lu Zhengchun, they understood it in their hearts. With such a killing god, it's no wonder that Emperor Yongle can't easily do anything to the Lu family.
Lu Zhengchun stayed here, I don't know if he was also waiting for a result on Hualuan Peak? Shen Miao thought in her heart, her eyes crossed over Lu Zhengchun, and she turned to leave.
The Lu family stayed here, Mrs. Ye also stayed here, and Ye Maocai also came back, talking to Mrs. Ye. The Lu Ye family has arrived, if Emperor Yongle really has three long and two short here, the Lu Ye family will not take the opportunity to make any big rebellious moves.
Looking around, some of the ministers had already gone into the tent and had been talking to their wives at night. They think the hunt is a fun game. Just waiting for Emperor Yongle and Xie Jingxing to hunt back the lion as a sacrifice at the festival.
Shen Miao stopped and looked at the sky, the starry sky was quiet, and the summer night breeze was refreshing.
But is this kind of night really as calm as it seems?
Mrs. Ji called her: "Jiao Niang, it's cold outside, let's come to the tent first." โ
Shen Miao smiled and went in. Master Ji was not in the tent, the ministers sat together in groups of three or five, drinking and talking, and the rare leisure was let go.
Mrs. Ji poured Shen Miao a cup of hot tea and said, "Don't worry, they'll be fine." But you, if you suffer from the wind and cold because of this, Jing Xing asks me about my guilt, I can't afford it. โ
Shen Miao smiled and said, "How dare he." After saying that, he thought of something again, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Your Highness...... It doesn't seem like a good relationship with the Emperor?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment. She smiled: "Why did you suddenly ask about the first emperor?"
Rao is Mrs. Ji tried her best to hide it, but Shen Miao could still feel Mrs. Ji's hatred flashing.
Shen Miao has always wondered what role the emperor played in the lives of Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yongle in the court of Longye. Since Mrs. Ji and the former queen are sisters, they must know something about the former emperor, can you know a little about the former emperor from Mrs. Ji?
Shen Miao simply didn't hide it, and said: "I have heard His Highness mention one or two, but I don't know what I said very clearly, and I feel a little strange in my heart." โ
Mrs. Ji looked at her in surprise, and then said, "I didn't expect him to even tell you this." Then he smiled: "In the end, this is all Jingxing's family matter, if I tell you, it's not good, another day you and Jingxing kneel and tell each other frankly, you will know that there is a festival." "That's what I won't say.
But it was precisely because of Mrs. Ji's attitude that Shen Miao confirmed her conjecture even more in her heart. Thinking about it, the former emperor really had some problems with the Xie Jingxing brothers, and looking at Mrs. Ji's attitude, it must not be very good for the first queen's mother's family.
Thinking about these in her heart, Mrs. Ji also fell into deep thought, and it took a long time to react, and said to Shen Miao: "Hey, it's good, don't mention this." Jiao Niang, you also sleep for a while, in case they come back tomorrow morning, you are tired, what can you do? โ
Where could Shen Miao sleep at this time, thinking about things with all her heart, she said, "I'm sitting for a while, I can't sleep anyway." โ
Seeing that she was stubborn, Mrs. Ji was not easy to persuade again. After talking for a while, Mrs. Ji herself was tired. She was not as young as Shen Miao, she couldn't stay up late, and she would take a nap in the tent after a while. Shen Miao put her cloak on and sat in the tent by herself.
Who knows, this sitting will be a night.
The morning light was faint, and the chirping of birds and beasts was heard in the distant mountains and forests, Master Ji was drinking with his colleagues at the other end yesterday, and at this time he had already sobered up, and walked towards the tent with his legs, just when Shen Miao opened the tent door and wanted to go out. Stunned for a moment, Shen Miao smiled at him and said, "My aunt hasn't woken up yet, she is asleep, and my uncle's voice is quieter." โ
Master Ji nodded, and said to her again, "You go eat something first." โ
Shen Miao responded and walked out by herself.
Some of the ladies outside had woken up, and their expressions were already tired. They are all noble people on weekdays, and it's not okay to make do with them in a tent. The particularly delicate one had already returned to the mansion last night, and those who stayed were either to shoot Emperor Yongle's ass, or to experience this rare leisure.
Fennel gave Shen Miao a bowl of porridge, Emperor Yongle came out, and a few cooks in the palace came, specially cooking for these courtiers and their dependents. Shen Miao drank porridge and asked Octagon: "Your Highness has no news yet?"
Octagon shook his head.
Shen Miao looked into the distance, the sun had already risen out of the mountain, and in another hour, the sky would be completely bright, even if Xie Jingxing and they spent the night on the mountain, it was time to come back. There was no precedent for hunting in the mountains for two whole days.
Although, they weren't just hunting.
"In your Mo Yu Army, isn't there any signal?" Shen Miao asked: "This time, your master didn't tell you about it, once the matter is completed, what signal will be released?"
Anise and Fennel were both stunned, and the two looked at each other and shook their heads together. Fennel said: "This time, the master did not tell the slave and maid. โ
Shen Miao was helpless, so she had to say: "I don't know what the situation is now." Looking at Lu Zhengchun who was already stretching his waist in the distance, and Ye Maocai on the other end, he felt even more headache.
Just thinking about it, but seeing a familiar figure walking by on the other end, Shen Miao was stunned, she didn't care about drinking porridge, she put the bowl in her hand and beat it, and she quickly stepped forward to catch up with the comer.
That person turned around, it was Ji Yushu. Shen Miao had a lot of things in her heart, so she pulled Ji Yushu to a corner where no one could see it, and asked him, "Why did you come back?"
Ji Yushu asked, "Sister-in-law, what does this mean?"
Shen Miao frowned: "Aren't you with Xie Jingxing?"
Ji Yushu was surprised: "No, I'm in the outfield, and only the royal people can enter the infield." Although I am half of the emperor's relatives, I am still not qualified. โ
Shen Miao was surprised, she thought that Ji Yushu came over to help Xie Jingxing. Right now, Ji Yushu didn't go, could it be that Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yongle were two people fighting alone? She said, "Tell me honestly, what does Xie Jingxing want to do this time?"
Ji Yushu touched his nose aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law, you really asked the wrong person." The third brother never brought me with him when he wanted to do a big thing, and the more dangerous it was, the more he wouldn't let me touch it. When I was in Mingqi, I was only in charge of eating and drinking at the Fengxian pawnshop, and I was not allowed to interfere with anything else. Yesterday's hunting ground, Gao Yang was with him, and the third brother would only take Gao Yang with him if there was anything, but I wanted to follow, but the third brother was not allowed. โ
"Gao Yang?" Shen Miao asked, "Gao Yang is also a courtier, how can he go?"
Gao Yang Yi became the third brother's personal entourage and followed. Ji Yushu said: "He has a good brain and understands medical skills, so if there is anything, he will also help." โ
Shen Miao's heart tightened, Gao Yang knows how to heal, so Xie Jingxing has it with him, but is the situation already dangerous to this appearance? Ji Yushu is also his cousin, just like Su Mingfeng at the beginning, the best way to protect Ji Yushu is not to involve him, maybe he is also protecting the Ji family.
Ji Yushu looked at Shen Miao's expression, but this time he became smarter, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, is something wrong with the third brother?"
Shen Miao said: "No, I just saw that he hadn't come back for a long time, and I was anxious." โ
"No way. Ji Yushu said categorically: "Sister-in-law is not such a disproportionate person. You're so weird. Yesterday I went to look for Gao Yang, and Gao Yang is also mysterious. They are like this every time they have something, they used to be fine when they were in Mingqi, but when they returned to Longye, they became more and more clear about me, did he want to do something by himself?"
Shen Miao looked at Ji Yushu's angry appearance and sighed in her heart. Xie Jingxing is accustomed to leaving the people around him and taking on everything by his only son, such as Lin'anhou in Dingjing, Princess Rongxin, and Su Mingfeng. Now it's Ji Yushu's turn, but there are some things that are indeed blessed by those who don't know.
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer you because I don't know what he's going to do." โ
"Hunting in the infield, only people in the royal family can enter, is there any danger in it?" Ji Yushu said: "The third brother and the emperor are always strange, sister-in-law, don't you really know?"
"Don't know what?" Before Shen Miao could answer, a female voice came from behind her, but it was Mrs. Ji who walked over. I don't know how long I've been listening here, she looked at Ji Yushu, then at Shen Miao, her expression became strange, and she said, "What's wrong with Xingzhi and Jingxing? What do you mean by what you just said?"
Mrs. Ji originally wanted to ask Shen Miao to go back to the city with her, but who knew that she happened to see Shen Miao grabbing Ji Yushu. Anise and Fennel were busy wary of Lu Yuzheng and Ye Maocai, and did not pay attention to Mrs. Ji, but Mrs. Ji overheard the conversation between Shen Miao and Ji Yushu.
Ji Yushu said: "Mother, it's nothing, I'm having fun with my sister-in-law." โ
"You don't have to fool your mother. Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Yushu and said angrily: "I asked you to go to Mingqi to find Jingxing, but you won't come back as soon as you go, and you don't know what to do in Mingqi." I don't care what you do, after all, you are the young master of the Ji family, let me ask you, what do you know, why did you say those words, Jing Xing and behavior...... Isn't it dangerous?"
Ji Yushu was speechless by her mother's words, and looked at Shen Miao as if asking for help, Shen Miao hurriedly said: "Auntie, you misunderstood, Yushu and I are talking and playing." It's just that His Royal Highness didn't come back at this time, and he was a little anxious, so he asked about Yushu. Yushu doesn't know anything, it's me who thinks too much, and my aunt doesn't blame him. โ
Mrs. Ji looked at Shen Miao again, her eyes were a little stern, and said, "Jiao Niang, this matter is not a trivial matter, I ...... it."
As he was talking, Octagon suddenly ran over, and he didn't care about Mrs. Ji's presence, so he said, "Madam, they're back! The emperor has gone down the mountain!"
Ji Yushu was pardoned, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Ji: "Look! I'll just say that the third brother didn't have an accident, mother, don't think nonsense, let's go, let's go see the third brother and the lion hunted by the emperor!"
Shen Miao was also relieved when she heard that Emperor Yongle and his party had returned, and smiled at Mrs. Ji: "Let's go over too." โ
Mrs. Ji wanted to say something, glanced at Shen Miao's calm expression and swallowed back, sighed, and let Shen Miao walk over.
I saw a group of Praetorian Guards walking out of the outfield, and the person led by them was Emperor Yongle, but it was very strange that Emperor Yongle did not ride a horse, but walked by himself. If you are a little sharper, you can see that the sword on Emperor Yongle's waist seems to be a little blood-red.
However, the royal hunt, saying that the emperor himself came to hunt, is actually a beast etiquette, where can the emperor take the risk to go, but the guards are pointing arrows at the side, and the emperor is assigned.
And what does it mean now that Emperor Yongle personally took action?
Emperor Yongle's expression was the same as before, and he couldn't see his joy or anger at all. Concubine Jing waited in Hua Yuan for a long time, and immediately greeted Jiaojiao, and said Jiaodidi: "Your Majesty can be regarded as coming out, but the concubine has been here all night, and her eyes are red." โ
Emperor Yongle just glanced at her lightly, and did not speak, Shen Miao could see clearly, Ye Maocai's expression was as usual, but Lu Zhengchun was a little gloomy.
Several Praetorian Guards behind him dumped the things pulled on several horses to the ground with a "bang", which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the surrounding women. It was nothing else, it was the corpse of a giant lion, with blood stains on its head and countless arrow holes in its back and abdomen, and it was supposed to have gone through a fierce battle.
Immediately, some courtiers patted their ass, stepped forward to congratulate: "Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts are the blessing of my Daliang Sheji." Everyone drew scoops according to the gourd, and they all followed the words, knelt down and sang and sought after.
Shen Miao also knelt down, and Emperor Yongle motioned for everyone to be flat.
But Shen Miao didn't see Xie Jingxing's figure.
After everyone calmed down, Lu Chunzheng suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, why do you only see Your Majesty alone, and there is no trace of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
It seems that everyone remembered that Prince Rui was not there.
Emperor Yongle stared at Lu Zhengchun tightly, his gaze was as cold as ice, and said, "Prince Rui was injured and has returned to the city from the other side for treatment. โ
The crowd was in an uproar.
