"Your Majesty—"

Gu Yunji was shocked when he saw this, subconsciously looked around, and suddenly became angry, picked up a stone and threw it at the tiger, hitting it accurately in the eye.

Although Gu Yunji is only a civil official and has no martial arts, the hard work of an adult man should not be underestimated. The tiger roared in pain, and the action that originally pounced on Emperor Jingfeng suddenly tilted halfway, and it rolled a few times on the side in pain.

The guards took the opportunity to rush forward and stabbed their spears in unison, killing the tiger once and for all.

Looking at the dead body of the tiger, Emperor Jingfeng maintained a posture of sitting on the ground, his eyes bulged greatly from horror, and the whole person was motionless, as if he was stunned.

Gu Yunji was shocked, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly went to support Emperor Jingfeng: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

Hearing his shout, Emperor Jingfeng suddenly returned to his place, panting heavily, like a fish dying of thirst, and after a long time, his pale face slowly regained a little ruddy.

He stood up with Gu Yunji's hand and staggered, he was already recovering from a serious illness, but after this fright, he was sweating all over his body, and the clothes on his back were soaked, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Gu Yunji asked cautiously, "...... Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Emperor Jingfeng waved his hand, signaling that he was okay, and said slowly, "...... Why are there tigers in the hunting ground?"

Everyone had been busy looking for Li Jinze before, and they didn't care about it, but now they finally reacted to this key issue. If Emperor Jingfeng really had any accident, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the first to bear the brunt would be the Praetorian Guard, who had the responsibility of protecting the Son of Heaven.

Thinking of this, the commander of the Praetorian Guard was frightened, and his heart was shocked and angry, and he shouted at the ministers, "The official in charge of the hunting ground! Come out and talk back!"

As soon as the words fell, a low-level official with a thin figure trotted out, and knelt tremblingly in front of Emperor Jingfeng: "Micro...... Wechen is Dong Qicheng, the supervisor stationed in the royal hunting ground......

Emperor Jingfeng lifted his eyelids and looked at Dong Qicheng with a heavy gaze: "Dong Qicheng, I ask you, why is there a fierce beast like a tiger in the royal hunting ground that should have been cleaned up many times? But you are derelict in your duties and lax in your inspections?"

"Your Majesty! Wechen doesn't, Wechen absolutely not!"

Dong Qicheng was terrified, kowtowed his head on the ground for a while, and said: "Since Weichen received the order that His Majesty is going to hunt in autumn, he has started to prepare early, and all the hunting grounds have been re-strengthened this year, and as for this forest, Weichen personally led people to start searching from the periphery little by little."

"The front and back add up, at least ten times have been cleaned up, not to mention a fierce beast, even a wolf dog can't get in! All of the above are witnessed by the officials of the hunting ground, and it is impossible for Weichen to derelict his duties and slack off, so I ask Your Majesty to learn from it!"

Hearing this, the commander of the forbidden army sneered, "According to you, the tiger flew into the hunting ground from the sky? The tiger's corpse is still clearly placed here, if it weren't for your negligence, could it be that someone deliberately put the tiger in?"

Dong Qicheng choked for a while: "This ......"

At this time, the Flying Fish Guard, who had been sent out by Emperor Jingfeng to investigate the fence early in the morning, came back and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has already inspected the fence around the hunting ground, and it is indeed as Supervisor Dong said, it is basically reinforced, and the beasts cannot enter at all...... Only there is a big hole in the fence in the northeast corner, as if it has been vandalized, and the signs of destruction are still very new."

Hearing this, Emperor Jingfeng's eyes sank, and he asked again, "Are you sure that the fence was destroyed by man, not by a fierce beast?"

Flying Fish said, "My subordinates are sure. Because the fence has very obvious signs of tool breaking, the beast can't do it. There was a light rain yesterday night, but there was no water damage at the broken fence...... Most of them were destroyed after this morning."

「…… Man-made sabotage?!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and inexplicable, and some people stammered, "Could it be that someone deliberately broke the fence, so that the tiger took the opportunity to enter and almost injured His Majesty?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Li Jinche on the side rolled his eyes twice, and said in his words, "The tiger is the king of beasts, has a strong sense of territory, and often walks alone in the depths of the forest. by

The forest enclosed as a hunting ground is on the outskirts of the northern forest, and there are usually no predators."

「…… Someone must have deliberately broken the fence and put the tiger in the hunting ground, and then lured it with a deer, leaving blood trails along the way, just to ambush the tiger and ...... there."

Speaking of this, Li Jinche glanced at Emperor Jingfeng's face and didn't say any more.

There is no need for Li Jin Cheming to say it in the back, everyone can understand - deliberately ambushing the tiger here, and then leading Emperor Jingfeng and others here, their group is huge, it is easy to frighten the tiger, and they will naturally rush out towards the crowd.

The question now is, who is going to do this? Who is so bold to harm Emperor Jingfeng?

"Father!"

At this time, a young man's voice sounded from behind, and everyone looked back and found that it was the crown prince Li Jinze.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that Li Jinze was safe and sound, Gu Yunji's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him, "Are you okay?" Have you ever been injured by a tiger?"

Li Jinze was at a loss: "Tiger? What tigers? This is the royal hunting ground, and the forest has been cleared beforehand, and at most there are wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits, how can there be tigers?"

Gu Yunji's expression instantly froze on his face: "...... Didn't Your Highness meet the tiger?"

Li Jinze was still confused: "Of course not, I have been hunting in the woods before, and I only saw hares and pheasants, not tigers."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looking at Li Jinze instantly became a little strange.

Li Jinze sensed that something was wrong from everyone's eyes, and wondered, "What, did you see the tiger?"

Everyone looked away one after another and did not answer, which made Li Jinze's heart even more confused.

Emperor Jingfeng looked at Li Jinze for a long time with a calm face, and suddenly said, "What did the prince do?"

Li Jinze instantly came back to his senses and said respectfully to Emperor Jingfeng: "Back to my father's words, after the sons and the second emperor's brother set a hunting competition, they have been concentrating on searching for prey in the forest, and when they saw the sun set, they rushed back to the hunting camp, but they didn't see any trace of their father and the ministers."

"I asked the guards left behind in the camp to find out that it was my father who thought his son was lost and took someone out to look for it. The retainers were afraid that their father's search would be fruitless, and they did not dare to worry their father, so they immediately chased after him."

Emperor Jingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then why did some guards report that you met a tiger during hunting, and the team was scattered and your whereabouts in the forest are unknown?"
