Chapter 3 The Hunt
Fu Xuanlin on the couch had already sat up, his loose hair was soft and smooth and covered half of his face, but even this did not weaken the anger in his fierce eyes.
Zhan Xinglan was petrified on the spot.
How so? Obviously took a sufficient amount of sweat medicine, why is he still so sober?
Suddenly, three cold rays of light pierced the night with a fierce aura, Cheng Xing'er took half a step back and dodged, and the sharp arrow almost slashed against her eyes.
The sharp arrow flew by, and Cheng Xing'er quickly got up.
Seeing that Fu Xuanlin didn't plan to let her go, he hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, I am Cheng Xing, the guard who just entered the palace today, and I inadvertently broke into the palace of the prince and asked the prince to forgive me!" ”
"Cheng Xing?"
Fu Xuanlin remembered the young man who had been staring at him when he was in the ring today, could he be the dark line sent by the prince?
"Bold Cheng Xing, trespassing into the king's bedroom is a serious crime, come on! Give this fine work to the king! ”
Where and where is this, Cheng Xing'er has a lawsuit. What happened tonight was completely beyond her expectations, and she had worked hard for a while.
"Lord Mingjian, the villain suffered from night wandering syndrome and accidentally broke into your dormitory, it is definitely not a meticulous work!"
At that moment, the door to the dormitory was opened.
The cold blade was on Cheng Xing'er's neck, Cheng Xing'er was already wearing thin, and the cold and sharp touch made her back shiver.
"The subordinates are late, which makes the prince frightened."
The surface of Baili ink is like cold iron, colder than the blade of the sword.
There was silence in the hall, Cheng Xing'er froze and didn't dare to move, she knew that she was not Bailimo's opponent when she fought in the ring today. If she moves now, maybe her head can go straight to a private room.
"Baili, this person said that he suffers from nocturnal wandering syndrome, is it true?"
"Returning to the prince, there is indeed something to do."
Hearing this, Fu Xuanlin sighed and waved his hand, and Bai Limo took the saber back into the scabbard after receiving the instruction.
Cheng Xing'er's tense body was off the brink of death, and the numbness around her body finally eased.
"You are not allowed to enter the king's chamber in the future. If there is a next time, the punishment will not be spared! ”
"Yes, the villain doesn't dare anymore, and the villain retires."
Fu Xuanlin looked at her leaving figure coldly, and the murderous aura of Fang Cai disappeared suddenly.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
If it weren't for the fact that he had a physique that was invulnerable to all kinds of poisons and drank the sweat medicine in the tranquilizing soup, I am afraid that he would be in danger at this moment. Over the years, he has lived cautiously, for fear of being murdered and crippled his legs.
As the night deepened, Cheng Xing'er tossed and turned, and she couldn't understand why Fu Xuanlin was not stunned by sweat medicine.
was hasty, now Fu Xuanlin must be very wary of her.
It seems that if you want to heal his legs, you can only find another way.
The next day, Cheng Xing'er was still asleep when she was woken up by a rough knock on the door.
In the dream, she was boating on the lake with a masked man, Lang Qing was not romantic, the knock on the door became more and more urgent, the dream could not be continued, Cheng Xing'er was suddenly angry.
"Who! Don't you know that disturbing people's dreams is equivalent to seeking money and killing people? ”
Cheng Xing'er opened her eyes suddenly but found herself in a strange place, and she remembered that she had crossed over.
"Cheng Xing, the Baili Dianjun has something to order, so I'll wait for you alone."
The men outside kept knocking on the door.
"Got it, got it, I'll be right away."
The figure outside got Cheng Xing'er's response before turning to leave.
In the Lingwang Mansion, the eight guards stood and looked at Baili Mo squarely.
"The Double Ninth Day is approaching, and every day His Majesty will go to the western suburbs to hunt, and the prince and the hundred officials need to accompany him on that day. As the prince's entourage, the eight of you need to take care of the prince's safety at all times. If there is a difference, it will be dealt with by military law. ”
"Yes!" The eight guards shouted in unison.
Cheng Xing'er's eyes are like a mirror, it is really a godsend, she can approach Fu Xuanlin justifiably on the day of the hunt.
However, she remembered that in the original book, she was driving with her father as the daughter of an official family, and she was attacked by poisonous snakes that day.
She has been afraid of snakes since she was a child, and if it really develops like in the book, I'm afraid she can scream out of a dolphin sound.
But she has changed course now, and maybe it won't happen.
Cheng Xing'er was thinking wildly in her head, and she didn't notice that a tall person was standing in front of her, staring at her.
"Cheng Xing, Cheng Xing."
The person standing beside her pushed her elbow against her, but when he met Bailimo's icy eyes, he was immediately frightened and silent.
Cheng Xing'er realized that the situation was wrong, and slowly looked up at Baili Mo and smiled stiffly.
"What do you command?"
"If you are half a quarter late today, you will be punished for running ten laps along the wall of the palace, which is a small punishment. If you can't finish it before noon, don't eat lunch. ”
Baili Mo put down the next sentence and left with a calm face.
Ten laps! Lingwangfu occupies a square in the capital, and there are 600 acres of a square to say the least.
This run is more than 25,000 meters after ten laps, Cheng Xing'er cursed more than 800 times in his heart, this guy is definitely deliberate!
Cheng Xing'er gritted her teeth and responded, I am afraid that she will be punished with the crime of trespassing into the dormitory last night.
Although the sun at the end of autumn is not very hot but very dazzling, Cheng Xing'er is running slower and slower against the sun, and the military training is not so hard.
Fu Xuanlin, who was sitting in the pavilion in the pool, sat in a wheelchair and elegantly picked up a plain lotus-patterned tea pot.
A breeze blew, and the hair that naturally fell from his forehead gently scratched the bridge of his straight nose, and the heat of tea rose and was blown away by the wind. In Xiao Se's courtyard, Fu Xuanlin was wearing a royal blue brocade dress, bright and solemn.
Fu Xuanlin looked at Cheng Xing, who was running in small steps in the distance, and frowned slightly.
How could there be such a stupid and blunt dark line, and on the first day of his arrival, he did such a striking thing as breaking into the dormitory, and with the temperament of the prince, it was impossible to send such a person to do the dark line.
Could it be that Cheng Xing really suffers from nocturnal wandering syndrome? Or does he have another purpose?
"Haven't you found out where this person came from?"
"Back to the prince, the subordinates in the capital have checked the household registration book, but this person is not registered."
"Sure enough, there is a problem, pass on the words of this king, and tell those who have not seen the mountain to investigate, and do not startle the snake."
"Subordinates obey!"
In the blink of an eye, it has come to the Double Ninth Day, and Emperor Jing and Empress Yue went to the hunting ground in the western suburbs, and the prince and the princes of each family accompanied him.
Hundreds of civil and military officials and their families have been waiting in the hunting ground for a long time.
Cheng Xing'er followed behind the carriage of Lingwangfu, and after running more than 20,000 meters in the first two days, her legs are still sore and unbearable. Fortunately, she didn't have to wear that bulky armor today, or she wouldn't even want to take a step.
When the holy car arrived at the tent, the prince jumped off his horse and walked straight to the Luan driver of Yue Hou to help Yue Hou get out of the carriage.
This scene was seen by Emperor Jing and nodded approvingly.
Qi King Fu Hongyao sneered with disdain on his face.
"Hmph, pretend."
He is the fourth oldest among the princes, and he is the brother of the same mother as the fifth king of Jian, Fu Rinxu.
Their biological mother Hu Jieyu came from a humble background, and Emperor Jing was not very favored, plus Hu Jieyu has been suppressed by Empress Yue all these years, which is no different from being in a cold palace, so her life is very unsatisfactory.
is also because of the relationship between Empress Yue, Fu Hongyao is most unaccustomed to Fu Xuanlin.
"The fourth brother, the third brother is just filial piety, there is no need to be so aggressive."
The one who spoke was the eldest Zhuang Wang Fu Zichun, his biological mother was a good concubine when Emperor Jing had not yet ascended the throne, and after Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he named his biological mother Sheng Zhaoyi, but after all these years, she was still just a Zhaoyi.
"Big brother has a good temper, but I can't get used to him pretending like this."
After saying that, Fu Hongyao turned over and dismounted and walked away without looking back.
Cheng Xing'er witnessed everything, this Fu Hongyao was really exactly the same as what was written in the book, impulsive and brainless or short-tempered.
However, it was not Fu Hongyao and Fu Zichun who caught her attention, but Fu Rinxu, who had been silent behind them. Because in the original book, this guy is a ruthless male second.
Emperor Jing was present, and the civil and military officials and female dependents greeted him in unison.
All the kings naturally stood on Emperor Jing's side, but Fu Xuanlin hid in the corner very naturally.
Obviously, they were all born to the emperor, but Fu Xuanlin was like a fatherless and motherless orphan, from childhood to adulthood, he could only watch other people's fathers and sons filial piety, and gradually his heart became numb from being incomprehensible.
Cheng Xing'er saw his actions in his eyes, and he felt a little sorry for Fu Xuanlin.
"Zhu Qing is flat, there is no distinction between the official position and the level of the hunt today, as long as it is the one who wins the first place, I will be rewarded!"
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Jing was eager to try and take the lead.
"The prince and the kings have not hunted for a long time, and I don't know if their skills have regressed, but I have high hopes for you, don't disappoint me."
Fu Tingxuan hurriedly spoke, "Back to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen has been coughing and wheezing a lot recently, and her health is not good. I ask myself to stay in the tent to serve Her Royal Highness the Queen, and I ask Your Majesty for your permission. ”
Emperor Jing's face darkened instantly, and then he chuckled again.
"The prince's filial piety is commendable, accurate."
When the words fell, Emperor Jing rode away with a whip.
Fu Hongyao glanced at Fu Tingxuan in disgust, jumped on the horse and followed Emperor Jing, Fu Zichun and Fu Rinxu also hurried to the depths of the dense forest after saluting Fu Tingxuan.
The generals got on their horses one after another, and other people who did not want to go to the hunting ground could move around at will, and there were special tents around the camp for the ladies and gentlemen to play, so that even those who were not good at riding would not be bored.
Everyone dispersed, and no one noticed Fu Xuanlin, who was sitting in a wheelchair expressionlessly.
Naturally, the hunting has nothing to do with him, and naturally no one cares about him.
But even if he is a little transparent, he has to come, as a prince, he must accompany him, this is the rule of Emperor Jing, but Emperor Jing has never treated him particularly favorably because of his leg disease.
The laughter in the tent and the neighing of the horses in the hunting ground were out of place for him, and he preferred to be alone at this time.
"Lord Wang, Your Majesty still cares about you."
Baili Mo knows him best, but it's a pity that he is just a martial artist and can't say comforting words.
"Needless to say, I've gotten used to it over the years, and it's no longer my business whether he cares about me or not."
Fu Xuanlin's face didn't change, it seemed that he really didn't care very much.
Bai Limo stopped talking, and silently pushed Fu Xuanlin towards the forest.
On the other side, Cheng Xing'er looked left and right in the huge hunting ground in a panic, just glanced at Fu Rinxu a few more times, why didn't Fu Xuanlin's figure disappear in the blink of an eye. She had a mission today, and she was getting more and more anxious to find Fu Xuanlin.
Suddenly, a hand covered Cheng Xing'er's mouth.
"Shhh, don't talk if you don't want people to know that you're Zhan Xinglan."
