Saying that, Xia Qingqing was about to go out.

Xiaoqing said: "Miss, this palace is built by the mountains and rivers, and behind it is tomorrow's hunting ground, there should be many small mosquitoes by the lake at this time, so let's go out with a sachet." ”

As he spoke, Xiaoqing moved quickly, and took out the sachet containing medicinal herbs that had been prepared long ago from his baggage. The red sachet was embroidered with gold thread, and there were two small bells hanging at the tail, and the melodious bells rang as Xia Qingqing walked.

Before they could get any far, they heard someone shouting, "Fall overboard, fall overboard!" ”

"The third prince has fallen into the water, come on!"

Her face changed slightly, and her fiancé fell into the water!

It's time for her to take action! , she got a perfect score in the swimming class in college! Xia Qingqing's mouth pursed slightly, her eyes lit up, and her feet sped up the rhythm.

And if it really comes to the rescue? Can the grace of saving lives be exchanged for divorce? I can't give her some cash! The head is wild, and he doesn't stop an inch under his feet, and walks briskly with the maid.

Looking at the piles of people in the distance, the little eunuch was busy, jumping into the lake one after another. The farthest palace was also brightly lit, and a group of people in yellow clothes were rushing here, but she couldn't see it clearly, and scolded secretly: Why is it that night blindness in ancient times is not good?

"It's rescued, it's rescued," Before she could get closer, she heard the little eunuch shouting, "Go to Emperor Yuming, that is, the third prince fell into the water and has been rescued!" A guard in a turquoise robe said, looking at the style, it should be Ye Feng, the leader of the guards beside the third prince.

Xia Qingqing just wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Xiaoqing beside him and said, "County Lord, let's stay away, there is a lot of moisture by the water." ”

Xia Qingqing had to smile bitterly: "Do you think that the third prince fell into the water, can I, my fiancée, stay out of the matter?" Never mind. The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, let's go over and see what the situation is. ”

"Is it difficult? The guards around the third prince were all dead, and it was really interesting to let a big living person fall into the water like this, and choke on several mouthfuls of water plainly. Xia Qingqing muttered quietly.

I saw that the third prince was lying on his stomach at the water's edge, and a bunch of people surrounded him, slapping and shouting, but he didn't react at all. She couldn't help laughing and said, good guy, it's going to evolve artificial respiration, right?

Seeing this, a little guy suddenly punched the chest of the third prince, and the third prince said "wow", spit out a mouthful of water, and then began to cough earth-shatteringly, and the person next to him finally said: "Rescued, rescued, thank God!" ”

Xia Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, obviously someone else was pretending.

This is a good show, I don't know who it was for in the end?

Before the people on their side could make any moves, "The emperor has arrived." Behind him came the voice of the great eunuch Fu'an.

Everyone knelt down and said, "See the emperor." ”

The emperor was dressed in a regular dress and wore a jade crown, his eyes narrowed and looked around, and he said lukewarmly: "As soon as I arrived at the palace, I was noisy, what was this doing?" Are the servants of the three princes all useless? Pull down all the rods and blame. Not a single prince can stand it. What is the use of you? ”

"The emperor spares his life!"

"The emperor spares his life!" The retinue shouted.

When the third prince saw that the emperor was coming, he coughed even more shockingly, crying ghosts and gods, louder than the other, and the emperor saw this and said, "Where is the imperial doctor?" Where did the Imperial Doctor die? ”

The man holding the medicine box here was still wearing a middle coat, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, came to the side of the third prince, and began to take out the things for pulse diagnosis and spread them on the ground.

Everyone held their breath, for fear that the imperial doctor would say something bad at this time. Fortunately, after a while, the imperial physician said: "Your Majesty, the third prince is fine. It's just that I fell into the water suddenly and was frightened, and after drinking a few sips of lake water, I may have some diarrhea tomorrow, and the rest is fine. ”

After hearing this, the emperor was not as angry as he was just now.

looked at the third prince with an inquiring face, and said, "The emperor is still at the water's edge so late?" Did you accidentally stumble? Or what's going on? ”

I saw the third prince nestled in the arms of his entourage, his lips were purple from the cold, and there were droplets of water hanging from his ears, dripping down, so embarrassed, with a dumb voice, he said: "Erchen saw that the starry sky tonight is very beautiful, and the stars are very bright, so he wanted to get closer to take a look at the stars, but he fell into the water as soon as he stumbled, and it has nothing to do with the entourage, please don't punish them." ”

"My father was frightened, it was my son's minister." Saying that, the third prince's eyes turned red because of the violent coughing made his whole person more fragile, and when he bowed his head and repented, a slender neck was exposed.

With a good look of green tea, Xia Qingqing scolded silently.

The Emperor did not give any further advice on the matter, and turned back.

In the crowd, the eyes of the third prince and Xia Qingqing met in the air, and his eyes were full of Xia Qingqing's incomprehensible looks.

The entourage gradually walked away with the three princes on his back, and Xia Qingqing saw that there was no excitement to see, so he turned around and wanted to leave. Grandfather stood behind the crowd and beckoned to her.

She looked at the back of the third prince, saluted lightly and followed.

Xia Qingqing pushed open the door of the study and saw her grandfather standing in front of the window looking at the quiet water's edge.

"Say hello to my grandfather."

"Qingqing, come in." Grandfather waved at her.

The maid and the maid closed the door with great insight, leaving the grandparents and grandchildren alone to talk.

"Do you know that just now the third prince made such an unprovoked fall into the water by the lake, and he was fortunate to be saved, and the saint was furious and wanted to punish the next person, no matter how kind he stopped it, for what?"

Xia Qingqing smiled slightly, lowered her eyes and didn't answer, as if she had made up her mind, raised her eyes and looked directly into her grandfather's eyes, and said, "Grandfather, granddaughter suspects that the third prince is deliberate. ”

Her tone was affirmative, and she said without a pause: "He made such a fuss, just because he didn't want to participate in the autumn hunt, so that he could avoid the final reward for meritorious deeds." ”

"When the emperor says tomorrow that he will start hunting, he can say in front of all the ministers that it is not good to fall into the water and be frightened. It's a pity that I can't participate in Yunyun, so I postponed it for some reason. ”

Grandfather looked at her intently, suddenly smiled, and said, "Good boy, you are still smart, and you have reached this level, and grandfather thinks the same way." ”

Thinking of this, my grandfather pondered for a while and said, "There is indeed this possibility, but the third prince has always been unobtrusive. There is no need to worry about it this time, after all, there is the eldest prince and the second prince fighting in front, and it is too obvious for him to do so. ”

Xia Qingqing raised his hand to refill the tea in his grandfather's teacup and handed it to his grandfather.

"We may think it's too much attention, but that's exactly what he wants."

"After all, in terms of competing for the crown, every prince is likely to ascend to that position."

Grandfather took her tea with a smile, took a sip, and said, "He has no support from his mother's family, and he has no friends with ministers. It stands to reason that I didn't bother to fight for that position! ”

Then put the tea on the table, and the tea set collided with the table with a "ding" sound, as if waking up the two of them.

Suddenly, both said at the same time.

"That's not right!"

"That's not right!"

"Maybe there was an accident in this autumn hunt, and he received the news in advance." Grandfather said quickly.

Xia Qingqing then said: "Yes, it is because he knew the news in advance, so he wanted everyone to know that he withdrew from the autumn hunt in advance, and if anything happened during the autumn hunt, it would have nothing to do with him!" ”

Grandfather looked at the leaves blown off by the wind and said in a low voice, "It's not impossible." Tomorrow is the first day of autumn hunting, so be careful! You too, don't stay too far from the palace, you must walk with the nobles, I will let your fourth sister-in-law accompany you all the time. ”

Xia Qingqing nodded and said: "Don't worry, grandfather, I will be careful tomorrow, if someone really assassinates, he may not do anything on the first day, during this period, please be careful to accompany the emperor, in case there is really an assassin, please grandfather take care of himself first." ”

Grandfather smiled and raised his hand to touch his beard, and said: "Our family is deeply favored by the emperor, and if there is really danger, I must be the first to protect the emperor first." ”

Seeing Xia Qingqing's anxious face, he said comfortingly: "I know, don't worry, I will also pay attention to safety." ”

"You also have to pay attention to safety, don't let Xiaoqing and them leave your side at the same time."

After the two finished talking, Xia Qingqing withdrew from the house.

Xiaoqing greeted Xiaolu and said, "County Lord, do you want to arrange some refreshments?" ”

Xia Qingqing raised his eyes and looked into the distance: "Listening to the palace of the three princes in front, it is still noisy, I don't know what they are doing." Her voice became quieter and quieter.

The three of them didn't hear clearly until the end.

Xia Qingqing strolled on the corridor, looked at the brightly lit front, and then put down the burden of his heart, and strode around and walked in the direction of his room.

He also said: "Whatever he likes to do, let's go back to tea and chat." ”

Pushing open the door, Xiaoqing immediately greeted him and said, "I have prepared quicksand buns and barbecued pork buns for you, or take a simple bite, I haven't eaten anything serious for a day, I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry at night." ”

Xia Qingqing immediately nodded and said, "Xiaoqing still knows my heart best, bring it up." After talking to my grandfather for a while, I was a little hungry. ”

After a while, Xiaoqing, Xiaolu, and a food box walked in.

As soon as it was placed on the table, Xia Qingqing reached out and was about to pick it up.

Xiaoqing stopped without leaving a trace: "County Lord, let's wipe your hands first." ”

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, I forgot, thanks to my big butler." ”

"The county lord made fun of the slave again."

She scratched her head, and laughed at a few people, and a few people also talked and laughed, and the night passed like this.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun rose for the first rays of sunshine, almost everyone changed their clothes and gathered beside the hunting ground to wait for the military generals of Wenchen to distinguish clearly, and on the left hand side were Qi Heng, the son of General Qi, Qiu Ye, the son of General Qiu, Lin Qing, the son of General Lin, and her fourth brother Xia Jinghong, represented by the military generals.
