"Didn't you let Miss Qing follow? How did you get back? Chen Hanxiao was very displeased.

"Miss Qing has Liu Xianglian by her side, and his skills are better than those of his subordinates. The subordinates asked to return to the palace and listen to the king's dispatch. Old Han said warmly.

"It's fine." Chen Hanxiao responded lightly.

The complexion is also light, and I can't see the inner emotions.

The layout plan of the six princes has probably been decided, and he has decided to go to Zizhuxuan less in the future.

Although he was careful every time he went, trying not to be noticed, it was difficult to guarantee that those who had a heart would not find out.

Less contact with Nanfeng and Qingwen, no matter whether his plan succeeds or not, he doesn't want to affect them.

He was already in the whirlpool of fate, struggling, and he didn't know if there was a way back ahead, so he didn't want to involve the two of them anymore.

Nanfeng should take Qingwen away from the greedy and dirty place of the capital, away from intrigue and intrigue, and live a stable and peaceful life.

Maybe a few more cute and loving children, even if they can't be rich, they must live a peaceful and happy life.

This is the life he envisioned for Mu Nanfeng and Qingwen, and it is also what he desires most from the bottom of his heart.

But being in the game, I can't help myself.

That kind of life has become an unattainable luxury for him.

As long as the people he cherishes are well, everything will be fine.

As for himself, whether he lives or dies, it's all that.

But even if he wants to die, he will die vigorously, and death will make those despicable people pay.

"I won't go to Zizhuxuan again before that, you go again and tell Mu Nanfeng to protect Miss Qing no matter what. If something happens to her, I won't forgive him. ”

Chen Hanxiao's eyes looked into the distance through the window, and her eyes were deep.

……

The outskirts of the capital, the royal hunting ground.

The emperor took many princes and ministers to hunt here, and they had to stay here for half a month.

When is the most neat gathering of people in the royal family? Then you have to count this annual autumn hunt.

Whether it is an adult prince in his twenties or thirties, or a minor child who is a few years old, most of them will follow the emperor here.

All the princes are gearing up and high-spirited, and they all want to take the lead in this hunting ground and perform in front of their father.

It's a pity that Chen Hanxiao, the prince of Bao who usually hunts every year with majesty and brilliance, has been sick since he entered the paddock, and he can't lift his spirits.

After two days, not a single wild animal was hunted, and his complexion became more and more ugly.

"Xiao'er, if you are really unwell, why don't we go back to Beijing in advance so that we can recuperate?" The emperor, who has always loved him, is worried.

"Father, the son is fine, the imperial doctor has already asked for the pulse of the son, and it is no big deal. The father finally came to relax for a few days, so don't be distracted by his son's retainers. ”

Chen Hanxiao cheered up and forced himself to deal with it. Looking down, his fingers gently rubbed his eyebrows.

"Forget it, don't go hunting these days, just rest in the tent." The emperor is still worried.

"Yes!" Chen Hanxiao reluctantly responded.

The other princes had different expressions, worried, and confused...... Of course, it's more about schadenfreude.

In previous years, he always showed the limelight, but this year it was finally their turn.

Chen Hanxiao got the emperor's order, so he really didn't play, and let his imperial brothers and brothers gallop in the forest.

Another five days passed, and the intense hunting days had already made the princes a little tired, but they still picked up their arrows again and mounted their horses, and scattered around with their own people, each looking for prey.

The emperor didn't go into battle in person, he had played enough of this game when he was young, so let the cubs play it.

He sat in front of the big tent, drank tea with a group of elderly civil and military ministers, and waited for the princes to return.

As for those young courtiers, their hearts were also on fire, and they all went out in groups of three or five.

It doesn't matter if you hunt the prey or not, it's just a game.

Today is not abnormal from the past, the autumn sun is shining, although the autumn wind is bleak, but it is not cold, the emperor and ministers feel comfortable and comfortable.

However, a mournful shout broke the silence and beauty: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, Prince Ying has been assassinated!" ”

"What?!" The emperor was so shocked that he bounced up from his chair, "You tell me carefully!" ”

"We ...... We follow the king...... Walking to a forest, suddenly a feather arrow shot, right in the middle of the prince's chest...... "Prince Ying's guards were frightened and panicked.

"My emperor's ......" the emperor fell back into his chair, "Quick, Yu Linwei, go and check!" ”

Prince Ying is the eldest prince of the royal family, with an elegant and friendly temperament, and a benevolent temperament.

Although he is not a concubine, many ministers in the court regard him as a candidate for the prince.

Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he would make him the prince, there is no doubt that he valued him.

Because, when the emperor deals with court affairs, in addition to taking Chen Hanxiao, sometimes he will also bring him.

"Yes." The commander of Yulinwei, who was guarding the emperor's side, hurriedly responded and ordered his deputy commander to take people to investigate the assassins.

The emperor stroked his chest, and his heart was so painful that he wanted to vomit blood.

However, this is just the beginning.

After a while, one guard after another came in a panic to report the news.

Three princes, five princes, six princes...... Almost all the princes were ambushed.

The difference is that someone was killed on the spot, someone was simply injured.

For example, the sixth prince, although the arrow pierced his right arm and looked seriously injured, it was not critical and his life was not in danger.

There were also many casualties among the courtiers who hunted in the forest, not all of them were attacked, and some of them accidentally ran into the Assassins and tried to capture them.

Bad news came everywhere, and there were only a few guards left to protect the emperor.

The ministers were also in a panic, not knowing whether it would be a blessing or a curse today.

The emperor looked around, asked the eunuch Fu Gonggong behind him with a calm face, "Who else is okay?" ”

Gonggong Fu replied in a low voice: "Prince Bao is in his big tent, and there is no news coming; Prince Yong was not good at riding and shooting, and he has been with Prince Bao these days on the pretext of visiting the second emperor's brother. ”

"The two of him?" The emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes were a little ruthless.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's ......" Father-in-law Fu was frightened.

"It's hard to say," the emperor said coldly, "The second child has been calling himself sick these days, he and the fourth child have always been good friends, and it is hard to guarantee that it is not ......"

Without waiting for the emperor to finish his speculation, Chen Hanxiao rode a horse and galloped over.

On the blood-stained white clothes, several long cuts showed that he had just experienced a bloody battle.

"Father, are you okay?" Chen Hanxiao rolled off the horse, turned over and knelt down in front of the emperor with difficulty, "Erchen...... Erchen and the fourth brother were talking in the tent, and suddenly a thief broke in, and Erchen and the guards resisted......"

"Did the thief catch it?" The emperor looked Chen Hanxiao up and down, and his gaze stopped on the wound on his chest.

Could it be that he guessed wrong? Isn't it, his second son, who is plotting against him?
