Hunting Palace.

King Lin's tent.

"Thank you Gongzi for speaking up for this king just now, and this king will do it first as a respect."

Li Yuan picked up a glass of wine, looked at Li Wuji gratefully and said, and after speaking, he directly raised his head and drank it all.

Li Wuji smiled bitterly, also picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass with his breath.

Drinking early in the morning, he was really hard to swallow.

"The prince is serious, but I can't get used to seeing no one in Yuqing's eyes, arrogant and domineering."

Li Wuji arched his hand with a smile and said seriously.

"In any case, this love of the child, this king has written it down, if there is anything that needs the king's help in the future, just words."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said sincerely.

"Okay, then I'll thank the prince here first."

"But there's a sentence under it, I don't know if I should ask?"

Li Wuji smiled and asked slowly.

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

Li Yuan raised his hand and said with a wry smile, as if he had guessed what Li Wuji wanted to ask.

"The prince is a prince, a relative of the emperor and a country, why does a little guy who has no official or position dare to be so rude to you? And you're just letting him do whatever he wants? ”

Li Wuji paused and asked curiously.

"Don't hide it from Gongzi, this prince seems to be noble, but in the eyes of the Chinese military officials, few people can look at it."

"Over the years, there has been almost no contact between this king and His Majesty, except for the New Year's Festival and His Majesty's birthday, this king almost does not enter the palace to say goodbye."

"And this king has never been interested in the affairs of the court, and prefers to be an idle cloud and wild crane, perhaps because this king does not seek to be motivated and idle, so His Majesty does not have any favor for this king."

"Think about it, even Your Majesty thinks that this king is dispensable, let alone others?"

Li Yuan sighed and explained helplessly, his face full of bitterness.

"The prince doesn't have to be so arrogant, just because he is in the royal family but indifferent to fame and fortune, he is already better than many people, and he admires it very much in his heart."

Li Wuji smiled and said with relief, with a serious face.

"The son is too famous, this king just doesn't like those intrigue tricks, now it's good, after the hunt is over, this king returns to the capital, and he is alone again, and his ears don't hear anything outside the window."

"But this time the prince offended Yuqing for the sake of this king, I'm afraid there will inevitably be some trouble in the future."

Li Yuan looked at Li Wuji, and as he spoke, he showed a hint of worry.

"The prince doesn't have to worry too much, he has his own way to deal with it."

"But has this Yuqing always been so arrogant?"

Li Wuji smiled indifferently, and then asked lightly.

"Since this person was favored, he has become notorious, relying on His Majesty's favor to do evil everywhere, and not take anyone in his eyes."

Li Yuan said with a wry smile.

"Doesn't Your Majesty know that he is like this?"

Leave Wuji to ask.

"What if you know? Don't know what? ”

"As long as things don't get out of hand, Your Majesty will turn a blind eye when I think about it."

Li Yuan said with a bitter smile helplessly.

"Well, don't mention him, drink."

Li Wuji smiled, changed the subject, and raised his glass to say.

In fact, the reason why he inquired about Yuqing was to find out how much the empress favored this person.

Immediately, the two no longer entangled in those troubles, pushed each other's cups and exchanged lamps, and gradually talked happily with each other.

...

The Empress's Bedchamber.

The empress reclined on the couch, her eyes slightly closed, and her face was enjoyed.

Chunsheng knelt aside, silently pressing the empress's legs, occasionally taking the opportunity to glance at Yuqing kneeling below.

At this time, Yuqing had a bitter look on his face, and even his eyebrows were full of grievances.

"Finished?"

The empress asked lazily with her eyes closed.

"Back to Your Majesty, I'm done."

Yuqing nodded and pouted.

Just now, he had already told the empress about being humiliated by Li Wuji in the camp, but he avoided the important and trivialized, and did not mention anything about his own mistakes, and said bad things about Li Wuji.

"What big deal should I be, isn't it just a few words? Is it also worth your anger and grievance? ”

The empress shook her head helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty, don't you know, if it weren't for His Royal Highness Taiqing arriving in time, Yuqing would have died in the hands of Li'anhou at this time, and he wouldn't have seen Yuqing a long time ago."

"At that time, Li Anhou's subordinates had already put the knife on Yuqing's neck! He's not at me, he's at you! ”

Yuqing recounted the situation with an aggrieved face, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

In the past, His Majesty would never ask such a detailed question, and he would definitely make his own decisions.

How did he know that now he was far from Wuji's status in the empress's heart, and he was not only able to do what he liked, but he was also the future sect master of the Wuji Sect, the first sect in the world, and he had long wanted to take it for his own use.

And Li Wuji is not afraid of heaven and earth, and everyone dares to provoke her, but it made her slowly let down her guard and wanted to do things by her side.

A scheming enemy will never be able to have nothing to do without scruples under the nose of his opponent.

"You said it yourself, didn't nothing happen in the end??"

"Okay, don't go on endlessly, I'm tired, you go down first."

The empress waved her hand and said impatiently.

Yuqing knelt on the ground, his heart was full of unwillingness, but he didn't dare to continue to entangle, so he could only sulk, and then looked at Chunsheng who knelt beside the empress to serve, and his heart was even more jealous.

In the past, he should have been the one who knelt there to serve.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing, I don't know if you should talk too much."

At this time, Lan Zhan, who had been standing silently near the door of the dormitory, suddenly opened his mouth and said with a look of embarrassment.

"Say."

The empress frowned, raised her eyelids and glanced at Lan Zhan, and said slowly.

"Someone saw a sandalwood box placed in the carriage from Anhou, if the humble position expected it to be good, it should be the sword of the Son of Heaven inside!"

"Li Anhou is not His Majesty's personal guard, let alone the chief general in the army, and he has no right to carry any blades when he participates in His Majesty's birthday hunting, but he ignores the rules so much!"

"Regardless of the sword he is carrying, it is a felony to just carry a blade into the hunting palace without authorization! But Anhou's status is special, so I want to ask Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled? ”

Lan Zhan thought for a moment, bowed, and asked respectfully.

Hearing Lan Zhan's words, the empress couldn't help frowning again and slowly opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty! The sword of the Son of Heaven is a royal thing! should be handed over to the court and returned to the royal family, why should he keep it for himself from Anhou?! ”

"I think this person is not right, so secretly bringing weapons into the hunting palace, I'm afraid he wants to plot against him!"

When Yuqing heard this, he hurriedly echoed on the side.

Hearing Yuqing's words, Lan Zhan, who was standing at the door, narrowed his eyes, a sneer flashed in his eyes, took a step back, and stopped interjecting.

"Li'an Hou is a member of the Wuji Sect, he is a person who practices martial arts, and he has weapons by his side, it is not surprising, not to mention that his camp is far away from the dormitory of the main palace, what can be a big deal?"

The empress shook her head and said, not angry.

"Your Majesty, Yuqing heard that Anhou's cultivation has reached at least the ninth rank realm, if he really has bad intentions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to guard against!"

Yuqing said hurriedly, his face full of seriousness.

"With the Imperial Forest Army and Yan Yu Guard guarding, what can happen? What's more, there are also the Five Elements Division and the Red Fish Guard, can't so many people stop one person?! ”

"You say that, where do you put Lan Zhan's Yan Yuwei?"

The empress pursed her lips and smiled, and slowly asked a rhetorical question.

"This..."

Yuqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there is a humble position, no one wants to approach easily!"

Lan Zhan also hurriedly bowed and said categorically.

The empress pursed her lips and smiled, stopped talking, continued to close her eyes, and began to enjoy.

Lan Zhan and Yuqing were silent and didn't say anything more, because they knew that the empress had already made up her mind to protect Anhou.

At this moment, Ye Han, the leader of the Red Fish Guard, walked in quickly from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, news has just come from the Imperial Forest Army that traces of the green fox have been found in the mountains and forests, and some ministers who are good at riding and archery have entered the mountain together, wanting to see the true face of the green fox."

Ye Han bowed and said respectfully.

Hearing Ye Han's words, the empress, who was lying on the couch enjoying herself, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up directly, startling Chunsheng.

"Really?!"

The empress looked at Ye Han with some excitement and asked in a deep voice.

The legend about the green fox has been passed down for hundreds of years, but no one has ever really seen the green fox in these hundreds of years.

"Confirmed!"

Ye Han nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, this is a good omen!"

"Your Majesty's birthday is imminent, and the rumored green fox suddenly appeared, could it be that he sensed that His Majesty was here and wanted to celebrate His Majesty's birthday?"

Yuqing stood up from the ground excitedly, said excitedly, and completely changed his appearance.

It was pitiful just now, but at this time his face was full of flattery.

"Prepare the horses! I'm going to hunt this beast myself! ”

Hearing Yuqing's flattery, the empress stood up excitedly and shouted happily.

Immediately, Ye Han immediately prepared a horse for the empress, and accompanied the empress out of the hunting palace with Lan Zhan and others, entered the royal garden, and looked for traces of the green fox everywhere...
