Chapter 410: Respective Justice (10,000 Words!) )
"Ah Xiang, stand back!"
"Don't touch that ball!"
The Eighth Prince ran frantically in the direction of the goal, shouting loudly.
Ah Xiang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the Eighth Prince shouting to himself, but it was obviously too late at this time.
Although Ah Xiang's body stopped in the air, it was too close to the ball.
The next moment, Ah Xiang's body couldn't help but be swept up by the cyclone brought up by the ball, and his whole body was attached to the surface of the ball and spun with it.
But Ah Xiang is a flesh-and-blood bird, how can he withstand such a toss, and there was a tooth-aching clicking sound in just a moment.
"Ah Xiang!"
The Eighth Prince shouted eagerly, at this time he couldn't care about anything else, he just wanted to save Ah Xiang immediately.
"Millet seeds!"
The Eighth Prince hurriedly called out to Xiaomizi, and immediately understood, ready to pick up the Eighth Prince and send him up.
The Eighth Prince didn't care if Xiaomizi was in a good position, so he kicked him, and then rushed towards the sky.
Xiaomizi was taken by this sudden momentum and sat directly on the ground.
But fortunately, Mi Zi was not injured except for some soreness in his hand that lifted the foot of the Eighth Prince.
He hurriedly looked up at the sky and found that the figure of the Eighth Prince had been steadily sent into the air, getting closer and closer to the ball.
After the violently spinning ball wrapped around Ah Xiang's body, it had already deviated, and it looked like it would at least not fly into the eyes of the merry stream.
But the important thing now is not whether to score or not, but to rescue Ah Xiang who was caught by the ball as soon as possible, otherwise Ah Xiang's body will follow the ball and turn like this, but it will be more auspicious.
In order to save Ah Xiang quickly, the eighth prince didn't care whether he fouled or not, and directly reached out and took off the ball in the air.
He carefully dodged Ah Xiang's body, pressed both sides of the ball with his palms, endured the abrasions caused by the friction, and finally stopped the rotation of the ball.
As soon as the ball stopped spinning, Ah Xiang's body was thrown out, and the Eighth Prince quickly reached out to support Ah Xiang's body.
As a result, the feeling of starting was unusually soft, which couldn't help but make the eighth prince secretly say bad.
For Ah Xiang's body touch, the eighth prince couldn't be clearer.
Now with such a weird body touch, there must be something wrong.
"Ah Xiang, are you alright?"
After the eighth prince landed with Ah Xiang on the ground, he immediately asked with concern.
But Ah Xiang's head was tilted to the side at this time, his eyes were closed, and his whole body did not have the slightest reaction, obviously he had passed out.
"Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang!"
The Eighth Prince was so anxious that he called out again and again, but he didn't get any response.
At this time, the eunuch in the flower clothes on the sidelines also made a corresponding punishment.
"Hand touches the ball, yellow card warning!"
"Take a penalty."
The eunuch in flower clothes did not care about the mood of the eighth prince at this time, and coldly made a judgment in accordance with the rules.
But the eighth prince only thought that he didn't hear the punishment of the eunuch in flower, and only cared about checking Ah Xiang's state.
Ah Xiang still maintained a faint breath, and a large piece of feathers on his body also fell off.
And that's not even the worst of it.
Ah Xiang had several fractures on his claws and wings, which was the most problematic for the Eighth Prince.
For birds, such a few simple fractures are enough to kill them.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Xiaomizi came to the side of the Eighth Prince and asked nervously.
Now that the second half has begun, according to the rules, they are no longer able to change players.
But Ah Xiang's current state is not to mention that he is flying again, and he can't compete at all.
And if the team of the Eight Princes loses Ah Xiang, it will not only cause a simple attrition, but also greatly reduce its strength, losing the huge advantage it should have.
was asked by Xiaomizi like this, and the eighth prince was even more upset in his heart.
He now can't wait to give up the game immediately, and hurry to find someone to heal Ah Xiang's injury, but he is afraid that if he is a little late, something will happen that he regrets.
Just when the Eighth Prince was hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Starling, you quickly hand over Ah Xiang to me, and I will help you take care of him."
The Eighth Prince subconsciously looked for the voice, and then couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Princess Ankang said anxiously to him on the sidelines, followed by a group of people.
In addition to the three small ones, the five princes and Princess Yuan'an also rushed to the sidelines.
Everyone looked at him anxiously, full of worry.
Princess Ankang called him again and again, asking him to hurry up and hand over the injured Ah Xiang to herself.
The Eighth Prince, who was still flustered and anxious, suddenly calmed down, and an indescribable strange feeling appeared in his heart.
This kind of taste, although the eighth prince can't say it, is not clear.
But at least it doesn't feel bad, and it even feels a little warm.
The eighth prince no longer hesitated, and entrusted Ah Xiang in his hand to Princess Ankang.
Compared to others, Princess Ankang is indeed a more trustworthy person.
For her beast taming methods, even the Eighth Prince himself admires it.
Compared with the attendants under his hands who don't know the importance of things, the eighth prince feels that it is a more correct choice to entrust the current Ah Xiang to Princess Ankang.
Princess Ankang took Ah Xiang cautiously, and then said to the Eighth Prince: "Starling, don't worry, Ah Xiang and I will take care of it for you." ”
The Eighth Prince didn't say much, just nodded, his eyes full of gratitude.
Even the Eighth Prince himself can't remember the last time someone helped him in his time of need.
Since the death of the eighth prince's mother, it seems that such a thing has not happened for a long time.
Princess Ankang carefully held Ah Xiang, who was seriously injured, and slowly walked back to the position of the stands.
The fifth prince and Princess Yuan'an were accompanied, wanting to help but not knowing how to help.
How much the Eighth Prince cares about this Hai Dongqing, a few of them know very well.
If this Hai Dongqing named Ah Xiang has a good one, I am afraid that the Eighth Prince will be depressed for a long time.
And the eunuch in the flower clothes on the sidelines saw that Ah Xiang was taken away by Princess Ankang, and asked:
"Your Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, are you going to abstain? Or is it just to carry the injured player down for treatment? ”
According to the rules, the referee's consent is required before lifting a player down.
But it happened suddenly, and even the eunuch in flower clothes knew how much the Eighth Prince cared about Ah Xiang, so he didn't pay much attention to it before.
Although they all follow the rules, they always have a flexible range.
Otherwise, if you do things too desperately, there is no need to offend the prince.
Even if the eunuch in flower clothes only obeys the orders of the Internal Affairs Office, he has to look at the faces of the princes and princesses.
To put it bluntly, they are just subordinates, and they must have some emotional intelligence that subordinates should have.
"Just for treatment."
The Eighth Prince replied angrily.
Then he swept to the opposite side with hatred, only to see the fourth prince lying on the ground, never getting up.
The eighth prince only noticed at this time that the fourth prince's right leg was unnaturally bent, and it looked like he had suffered a serious injury from the knee downward.
Also, the ball that spun so fiercely before, even with the cultivation of the four princes, was difficult to kick.
It seems that some special technique must have been used to cause such an effect.
Otherwise, in the previous competition, there were also many close eunuchs who were stronger than the four princes, but none of them thought of using this method.
The talent of the fourth prince in martial arts is not bad, and he is extremely proficient in some technical martial arts, otherwise the weapon he specializes in will not be a soft sword.
Although the soft sword is quite beautiful to use, if the skill is not perfect, the lethality is extremely limited, and even more so, it will hurt itself first.
But when the four princes were in the autumn hunting competition before, since they dared to use soft swords to fight, they must have been extremely confident in their skills.
The Eighth Prince is also well aware of this.
Since he was a child, the four princes liked to play some tricks, challenge some things that others can't do, show their specialness, and especially like to do some difficult things.
According to the words of the eighth prince, the fourth prince has a tendency to be masochistic, and it is difficult for himself.
For example, now, in order to deal with Ah Xiang, the fourth prince did not hesitate to use such a self-harming move, which is simply a problem with his head.
"Fourth, if Ah Xiang has a good one, you Qingshu Hall will wait for me!"
"No matter what the price I pay, I will definitely take revenge."
The fourth prince had a faint smile on his face, noncommittal about it.
Even if his plan succeeded, he didn't have much to be proud of.
Regarding the cruel words of the eighth prince, the fourth prince just didn't hear it, and just kneading his calf to relieve the pain and return it to his place.
Although the fourth prince succeeded in getting Ah Xiang down, he himself was not much better.
At least, it's unlikely that he'll continue to kick Keju.
But this doesn't matter anymore, without Ah Xiang, the eighth prince is like a toothless tiger, there is nothing to worry about.
Although his two close servants had serious physical exertion, they still had an advantage in cultivation.
In the next Kemari competition, even if it is a two-on-two, there are some opportunities.
After all, they had previously unexpectedly got a good opportunity to take a penalty because the Eighth Prince was eager to save Ah Xiang.
No matter how bad the result was, the four princes achieved their goal.
As he said before, his goal was never to win on his own.
After the eunuch in flowery clothes, who was the referee, asked the Eighth Prince's side clearly, he turned his head to the Fourth Prince.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, do you need to be treated?"
With the eyesight of the eunuch in flower, he could see that the fourth prince's right leg was not lightly injured at this time, and it was unlikely that he would continue to play.
didn't think about it, but the fourth prince shook his head, and then said:
"No, I'm going to keep playing."
The answer of the four princes surprised everyone.
"You two, come and help me sit down over there."
The fourth prince instructed his two attendants to help him to the back corner of the field.
Then he sat in the corner, rubbing his injured right leg, and said:
"Let's just keep playing."
When the eunuch in flower clothes saw the fourth prince say this, he only frowned, but he didn't say anything.
After all, there is no rule that prohibits injured players from staying on the pitch.
It's just that everyone doesn't understand why they continue to insist on staying on the field since the four princes are no longer able to stand up.
Judging from his previous performance, he didn't have a passion for Keju to this extent.
Seeing that both sides had been dealt with, the eunuch in flower clothes continued to guide the game.
The four princes were going to take penalties on their side, and the eight princes were going to guard the goal in person.
When a penalty is taken, only one defender can be left on the field to defend in the first half of the field.
As for the penalty kicker, the player in charge of the penalty will place the ball on the halfway line of both sides and will be able to shoot at any time after the referee's whistle.
There was only one touch on goal, and there was no follow-up shot.
Defenders, on the other hand, can use their hands and arms to change the trajectory of the ball and prevent it from entering the eye of the wind.
At this time, the score of both teams remained 0-0.
This penalty is very important for them.
On the opening stage, everyone was waiting for the result of this goal.
"Bang!"
The four princes' attendants tried their best to shoot with all their might.
But before the ball could fly high, another muffled sound came.
"Bang!"
"Get the hell out of here!"
The Eighth Prince flew upside down, his legs split into an exaggerated "one".
The ball flew back at a faster speed than when it came, heading straight for the Merry Eye on the side of the Four Princes.
Brush –
The ball passed cleanly through the Merry Eye.
The Eighth Prince actually launched a counter-penalty, but instead took the lead to get a point.
"One to zero!"
The eunuch in the flower clothes on the sidelines did not hesitate to raise the flag and declare that the score was valid.
"Huh!?"
In the stands, there was an uproar, and even the eldest prince and the sixth princess widened their eyes in shock.
They all thought that the fourth prince was going to win, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face by the eighth prince on the spot with his superb ball skills.
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment when he saw that the penalty was such a result, and then smiled speechlessly.
"Fuck."
"The eighth is really good at this ball."
The fourth prince scolded quietly.
He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that because Ah Xiang was injured, he forced the Eighth Prince to come to a state.
The defending side of the penalty kick is already at a disadvantage.
And the probability of being able to successfully defend and counterattack directly is too small.
Unless the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, it is difficult to counter the penalty.
But now......
It's too late to say anything.
When the four princes were sighing helplessly, the eighth prince, who had completed the feat of countering the penalty, rushed over with a roar, and sprayed wildly at the four princes.
"How well the conspiracy works?"
"Can you win?"
"Can you win me?"
"Huh?"
"Fourth brother, are you talking?"
"Why don't you speak, you have to say something!"
"You continue to calculate, sooner or later, there will be a time when you can't pick up your legs in the future, I don't think you can laugh at that time."
"Can't laugh, can you?"
"It's my turn to laugh, hahaha!"
The eighth prince spewed trash talk with emotion, and became much more energetic than before.
Such a provocation almost caused a scuffle outside the court, and the eldest prince and the sixth princess immediately rushed down from the stands to defend the four princes.
The Eighth Prince was pulled back by his own attendants and the Fifth Prince and others who were driven down again.
The Eight Princes now have a one-point lead, but they can't let the game go to ruin because of the conflict, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain.
"Calm down, eighth."
"You're going to win, you can't be impulsive."
"Otherwise, your and Ah Xiang's efforts will be useless."
When the fifth prince mentioned Ah Xiang, he immediately calmed down the eighth prince's mind a lot.
"That's right, eighth."
"When they win the game, they are even angrier!"
Princess Yuan'an also helped on the side.
This messy scene actually made Princess Yuan'an excited to see it.
She felt that she had come to participate in the competition in the Imperial Garden.
How could you play such a big scene by playing alone.
In the pavilion, the fourth concubine calmly watched the chaos off the field.
"Gee, it's so much fun."
"I have to persuade Your Majesty to do the same next year."
Concubine Su De, who only cares about watching the fun, is happy, and I wish the princes and princesses in the audience would fight now to make the scene more lively.
The other three didn't pick it up.
Next year, Princess Qian, who is traveling abroad to study and cultivate, will come back.
What are you doing with this broken competition again, is it being abused by people?
The return of Princess Qi is obviously not good news for those who have a heart for the storage position.
It's better to talk about something happy.
"Next year is too far away, let's take a look at the present."
Zhao Shufei changed the topic on the side.
"The Fourth Highness has a furrow in his chest, and with his strategy, he was able to force the Eighth Highness to such a position step by step, and he also broke his most powerful wings, which is really amazing."
"My sister teaches well, and my sister admires it."
Zhao Shufei actually praised Zhang Guifei rarely.
Zhang Guifei raised her head proudly, although she disdained to deal with Concubine Zhao Shu, she was also satisfied with the performance of the fourth prince.
But before Concubine Zhang Guifei was proud, Concubine Zhao continued to say:
"It's a pity, it's a pity."
"In the face of absolute strength, it is difficult to turn the tide after all."
"It seems that the Fourth Highness has done useless work this time."
Zhao Shufei raised her eyebrows and smiled, obviously the praise at the beginning was for the sake of depreciation at this time.
And when she said this, whether she was talking about the four princes or Zhang Guifei, how many people here couldn't understand it.
No matter how nice it sounded before, as long as the result was not good, the good words began to be harsh.
Concubine Zhao Shufei seemed to praise the four princes, but in the end she was still saying that the four princes were thoughtful, and they only knew the conspiracy and tricks of the camp, and finally they lifted a stone to hit themselves in the foot, losing and losing.
Zhang Guifei had anger in her eyes, but she held back her anger and replied with a smile:
"My sister is right, after all, it is not as invincible as the Third Highness, and it is rampant in the military array."
Several people know each other's roots, and one or two sentences can poke each other's lung tubes.
Zhao Shufei was ridiculed like this, and the smile on her face slowly faded.
At least, the eldest prince still has a chance to fight, but the third prince is ......
The more such indisputable facts, the more they slap people in the face.
"Humph!"
After a cold snort, silence returned to the pavilion.
Concubine Su Defei was unaware of the confrontation between the two, leaned against the fence, and watched the movement on the field intently.
And Concubine Yang Xian looked like she was not interested in anything, and she was in a daze with her own tea.
Order is slowly returning to the Kemari court, and it looks like the game is going to go on.
Sanxiao only wanted to take care of Ah Xiang, and did not follow to persuade him.
Princess Ankang put Ah Xiang in her hand on her knees, very distressed.
A Hai Dongqing, who was still majestic before, was embarrassed at this time, not only did he lose a lot of hair on his body, but his whole body was soft and drooping, unconscious.
"...... Xuan"
Princess Ankang called Li Xuan pitifully, hoping that he could help.
"Can you save Ah Xiang?"
"Why don't we go to Imperial Doctor Xue for help?"
For Princess Ankang's request, Li Xuan has always been unable to refuse.
Li Xuan swept his tail over Ah Xiang's body, intending to check on its condition first.
"It's all broken bones......
Ah Xiang's claws and wings were broken into several pieces, and his head was also hit hard.
"There was a ...... that almost hurt the internal organs"
A broken bone in his wing, which almost pierced his chest, was very close to his heart.
Li Xuan couldn't help frowning.
Ah Xiang's condition is not very good, and dealing with these fractures and injuries may require considerable effort, and whether he can recover or not depends on two words.
Even if he is lucky, Ah Xiang can survive, but whether he can soar into the sky again depends on God's face.
Doctor Xue is very powerful, but not necessarily a bird.
But apart from Imperial Physician Xue, they didn't know any other famous doctors, especially veterinarians.
After Li Xuan checked Ah Xiang's state, he signaled Princess Ankang to be calm and not impatient, not to act in a hurry first, it is best to wait for the game to end, and discuss with the Eighth Prince how to treat Ah Xiang.
After all, Ah Xiang is the tamer of the Eighth Prince, and it should be up to him to make these decisions.
During this period, Li Xuan mobilized the yin and yang true qi in his body to renew the life of the weak Ah Xiang, lest he not wait for the end of the game.
There were several broken bones on Ah Xiang's body, which pierced into the flesh, causing blood to flow incessantly in his body.
Originally, it was difficult for Ah Xiang to survive in this situation.
But Li Xuan, with the true qi of yin and yang, can continue its vitality.
"Ah Xiang, I hope you have a great fortune."
Li Xuan used his tail to gently convey the true qi of yin and yang, and silently prayed for Ah Xiang.
The game on the Keju court has entered a white heat.
Although there were only two people left on the Eighth Prince's side, he and Mi Zi were like fierce tigers, and they were defeated on the other side.
The Four Princes sat in a corner of the Keju Field, watching their two attendants unable to withstand the attack of the Eighth Prince, but they were not too annoyed.
He had already expected this situation, and there was nothing unacceptable.
His own merry eyes have been broken through again and again by the Eighth Prince, and the gap in the score is widening.
The four princes have no chance of winning at all.
But there was still some time left in the game, and he didn't have the slightest idea of giving up.
"The eighth child's physical strength has long been consumed."
"He's holding on right now."
"As soon as the game is over, the fatigue will naturally come back doubly."
"That way, he won't be able to perform as well tomorrow as he did today."
"Coupled with the fact that he lost that Hai Dongqing, the eldest brother should be able to take him down smoothly."
The four princes sat alone in the corner, and they didn't care about the death of others on the juju field, and thought about it for themselves.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
But at this moment, someone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Bang!
The fourth prince looked up and found that his attendant had pounced in front of him at some point, helping him block a powerful ball.
"Damn!"
The Eighth Prince on the opposite side scolded secretly.
The fourth prince looked at the attendant who was panting and collapsed at his feet, with an indifferent expression.
Then he looked to the other side, and sure enough, he saw that the Eighth Prince was staring at him.
"Heh, the eighth child's heart is too small."
"Yes, after all, it is his most precious Hai Dongqing."
The four princes thought about it and looked at the score on the sidelines, and the score difference had been stretched to more than a dozen points.
"It seems that after the eighth child locks the victory, he wants to take me out at the end."
"Okay, good, I am very happy that you have this heart."
The fourth prince was not angry at all, but happy.
"Don't worry about the Keju competition, just protect me next."
The fourth prince instructed his two close attendants, who no longer had much physical strength.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
That's what the two attendants thought.
They have already lost the Keju match, and there is no room for a comeback.
But if in such a situation, the four princes are humiliated, and these two close servants will not live long when they return to Qingshu Palace.
Losing the game was a helpless thing, but in the presence of the two of them, if the four princes were humiliated in person, the two close servants could not escape the blame.
This is also the reason why they fought with their last strength to block the ball for the four princes.
They thought that their strength had already been drained, but when they saw the ball shooting towards the four princes, they were so frightened that they threw their bodies over and blocked the ball.
And now the order of the four princes made the two close servants even more relieved.
They are really afraid that the Four Princes will continue to let them play, and they will be kicked by the Four Princes here.
If that's the case, even if they win the game, they will be severely punished by Zhang Guifei when they go back.
For these nobles, many times face is more important than anything else.
The two attendants immediately followed the instructions of the four princes and used their bodies to build a wall in front of the four princes.
When the eighth prince on the opposite side saw this scene, he immediately scolded:
"Okay, okay, you really don't have any face, do you?"
"Being a shrunken turtle in front of so many people, you Qingshu Hall has the ability."
The Eighth Prince kept talking trash, not only attacking the Four Princes, but also using his performance at this time to criticize the Qingshu Palace.
Zhang Guifei was sitting in the pavilion, her face was blue and uncertain, obviously stimulated.
Concubine Zhao Shufei and Concubine Su Defei watched from the sidelines and held back a smile.
If it were a weekday, I would definitely have to fall into the well again.
But at this time, they could all see that Zhang Guifei was really angry, and if she stimulated it again, I was afraid that she might go crazy.
They are too close now, it is really not worth the risk, it is better to watch the play silently.
The ball rolled to the side of the fourth prince, and the two attendants tried their best to delay the time, but they couldn't do it anymore before kicking the ball out of the field.
And when the Eighth Prince took the ball, he kept rushing over and shooting them fiercely.
The two close eunuchs were kicked and staggered, gritting their teeth and performing strong body exercises to resist.
There is a limit to the amount of power that can be carried on the ball, but the two squires are also exhausted, and it is very painful to resist.
"Old eight, wasn't it very powerful just now?"
"You can't kick me either."
"Push harder, haven't you eaten at noon?"
The fourth prince did not have the slightest consciousness of being blocked in the corner and being kicked, and even provoked with words.
It's just that the gap between his mouth and the Eighth Prince is not small, and the provocative words he says are not as emotional as the Eighth Prince.
Seeing that he couldn't kick the fourth prince for a long time, the eighth prince gradually felt tired, and began to hold his knees and bend over to breathe.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince's offensive weakened, the Fourth Prince then spoke:
"Eighth child, it's a pity for your Hai Dongqing?"
"The trick I made just now is a five-grade exercise, although it is just a forcible imitation of force, but it is not something that your Hai Dongqing can stand it."
"Count the time, your bird should be out of breath by now, right?"
"Don't blame my brother for being ruthless, I really want to win too."
The four princes hugged their arms, hid behind the two attendants, and leisurely stimulated the eighth prince with words.
The eighth prince was so tired that his face was sweating profusely, and the sweat was dripping like raindrops under his feet.
But when he heard these words at this time, he was immediately so angry that his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Millet seeds, give me the ball!"
"Your Highness......"
Xiao Xiaozi has already seen that the Eighth Prince has reached the limit, and if he continues to hold on, he is afraid that he will hurt his body.
Xiaomizi was about to dissuade him, but the Eighth Prince shouted angrily:
"Immediately, immediately!"
Xiaomizi gritted his teeth, knowing that the Eighth Prince was angry, and it was useless to dissuade him, so he could only pass the ball over.
After the eighth prince received the ball, he rose directly into the air, used all the weight of his body, and performed a powerful volley.
"Bang-"
The ball smashed on the four princes' attendants, directly kicking a person to the ground, revealing the four princes behind him.
The Fourth and Eighth Princes looked at each other and smiled.
The smile on the face of the fourth prince was indifferent, and the smile on the face of the eighth prince was hideous.
"Li Peng, it's your turn!"
After the ball knocked down the attendant, it bounced high, and it turned out to be back at the feet of the Eighth Prince.
The eighth prince seized the opportunity and did not hesitate to volley again.
"Get up, get up!"
The other attendant, who was still standing, pulled desperately at his companion on the ground.
But after his companion fell to the ground, no matter how much he struggled, he could not get back up.
Even he himself lost the ability to pull his companions up from the ground and fill in the gaps.
The standing attendant hurriedly turned around, but the ball was long gone.
The moment he reacted, he immediately pounced on the void caused by his companion, only to feel a strong wind flying under his ribs.
"It's over!"
He lost even the chance to block the ball.
"Boom!"
A figure rolled and flew off the sidelines.
In the pavilion, Zhang Guifei slapped the table, stood up with a pout, and looked nervously at Keju Field.
The four princes got up from the ground in embarrassment, covered in dust, and completely devoid of their usual elegance.
"Shhhh
As soon as the fourth prince moved, he felt a tingling pain in his right leg, and the two arms that resisted the ball were also numb, so that he could not support his body and stand up again.
The physical strength consumed by the four princes before was no less than that of his two close attendants.
Later, in order to deal with Ah Xiang, he used moves that he couldn't use at this stage, which increased the burden on his body.
Even so, the Four Princes still failed to win against the Eighth Prince.
But he doesn't regret it, and he feels that everything he does is worth it.
The eyes of the four princes were fixed on the ground, but they caught a glimpse of the figure standing up in the pavilion.
The numb arms of the fourth prince began to tremble slightly, but a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
"Big brother, sixth sister."
"Mother she hasn't changed ......"
Thinking about this, the smile on the fourth prince's face gradually became stronger.
But at this time, his arms could no longer support his body, and he was weak.
But the body of the fourth prince did not smash to the ground, but became farther and farther away from the ground.
The eldest prince and the six princesses arrived in time and supported him on the left and right.
"Fourth brother, that's enough."
The eldest prince helped the fourth prince to sit firmly, then patted him on the shoulder and said:
"You're doing a great job."
"I'll take care of the rest."
The eldest prince said to the fourth prince with a smile.
At this time, there was a whistle.
"It's over!"
"Thirteen to zero!"
"The Eight Princes win!"
The eunuch in the flower clothes on the sidelines announced the final result of the game.
Today's qualifiers are all over, and the final four finalists are finally divided, namely Princess Ankang, the eldest prince, the third prince and the final eighth prince.
On the schedule, in the last vacant seat, the name of the Eighth Prince was hung.
Princess Ankang against the Three Princes.
The Great Prince against the Eighth Prince.
This is the competition arrangement at tomorrow's Chongyang banquet.
The winners of the two matches will advance to the finals to determine the winners of this month's Keju competition.
With the end of today's last game, Zhao Feng hurriedly stood up, and after introducing the final results and tomorrow's game arrangement, he hurriedly left on the grounds that he wanted to go to the Ganlu Hall to report.
Only a group of princes, princesses and concubines were left unsatisfied with today's game.
As soon as the concubines announced the results, they began to get up and leave.
The princes and princesses who participated in the competition still felt unfinished and did not go back directly.
They also wanted to see how the dispute between the Fourth and Eighth Princes would be resolved.
It's human nature to watch the excitement, and no one can refuse.
The game was over, and when Zhao Feng and the concubines left, the eighth prince immediately walked towards the fourth prince angrily.
The fourth prince sat on the stands at this time, allowing the attendants to deal with their injuries.
"Eighth."
Before the Eighth Prince approached, the Great Prince stopped him one step ahead.
"Get out of the way, it's none of your business."
As soon as the eighth prince shook off the eldest prince's hand, he had to settle accounts with the fourth prince.
As a result, the eldest prince stepped forward and directly blocked his way with his body.
"Eighth brother, if you dare to bring your Hai Dongqing on the field, don't complain about the fourth brother's ruthlessness."
"It's not just your Hai Dongqing who is lying down today."
The eldest prince is colorful.
Seeing that there was going to be a conflict here, the other princes and princesses also surrounded them, and there was even Xiao Douding coaxing beside them.
"Fight, fight!"
But the little beans shouted for a while, and they were all taken away by their own attendants.
"Don't, don't, I don't want to go back yet."
"I want to see the royal brothers fight!"
When the little beans saw that the excitement was far away from them, they immediately stopped splashing.
Naturally, these attendants didn't dare to go against the little master, but just took them farther away, so as not to be injured by mistake.
The eldest prince immediately stood up with a large number of people, and the momentum was immense.
The conflict between the princes and princesses, the eunuchs and palace maids naturally did not dare to participate in it at will, so the royal heirs who stood behind the eldest prince were the royal heirs who supported him.
There was only one person on the Eighth Prince's side, and his momentum immediately weakened a lot.
"Eighth child, don't get yourself in trouble."
"You'd better hurry up and see your Hai Dongqing."
"I won't have to look at it in the future."
The eldest prince said unceremoniously.
"You!?"
In the stands on the side, the three princes took a few royal heirs from the noble side, watching the excitement here.
"If you don't help the eighth, it's all your own people."
Someone couldn't look at it and proposed.
"The trouble that the eighth finds himself, let him deal with it himself."
"And he's never treated us like his own."
With that, the three princes turned around and left, throwing these people here.
"Hey ......"
Some people still want to keep it, but where can they keep it.
The others looked at each other, and finally shook their heads helplessly.
The prince and princess of the civil official lineage have at least one big prince as the backbone.
But in the past few years, these princes and princesses with noble backgrounds have been like a plate of scattered sand.
Especially today's Keju competition, it was really a joke, and it was a stark contrast to the other side.
But they can't do this kind of thing, and the few people present don't have the ability to carry the banner, and those who have the ability ......
"Forget it, let's see if it's lively."
And just when the Eighth Emperor was more than one enemy, several figures also stood up behind him.
"What are you doing?"
"There are too many people and too few people to bully people?"
"If you lose someone on the field, you have to lose it again off the field, right?"
Princess Yuan'an stood up from behind the Eighth Prince and fought for him.
"Yuan'an, it's none of your business, don't mix it up."
To be honest, everyone is still quite frightened by Princess Yuan'an.
After all, her mother is Queen Wu.
Empress Wu monopolized one side of the power in the harem, and the martial arts family above the court was also in full swing.
Whether it is the civil official side or the noble side, they are not willing to offend the Empress Wu and the martial family.
"It doesn't matter to me, it's not okay to bully people!"
Princess Yuan'an said very stiffly.
"It is a great sin to be rude."
At this time, the five princes also shook their heads and stood up.
"Everyone, everyone is a royal heir, don't be so rude, okay?"
The five princes looked at the people on the eldest prince's side with very complicated eyes, among them there was sympathy, sorrow, and anger.
Anyone will feel uncomfortable to be looked at like this.
"Li Ming, don't look down on people in this dog's eyes every day."
"Also, are you in the wrong place?"
Someone reminded the five princes.
The mother concubine of the fifth prince is also from a civil official family, but she is relatively worldly and undisputed, and is not interested in the power disputes of the harem, but only focuses on her own interests and hobbies, and rarely goes out of her own bedroom.
A large part of the personality of the fifth prince is influenced by her mother, but it is a little more extreme.
"I'm not wrong."
The fifth prince said categorically.
"I, Li Ming, have been familiar with the books of sages since I was a child, and I have always only stood on the side of justice."
"As a royal child, you are helping to abuse, be careful of leaving a stench for thousands of years."
The fifth prince shook his head, looking very distressed.
"Leave him alone, he just says weird things all day long."
The other side began to quarrel and shout again, trying to overwhelm people with momentum.
Although there are few people on the Eighth Prince's side, the momentum is not weak at all.
One is the queen's concubine, and the other prides herself on justice and justice, and her waist is straighter than the other.
Just when the two sides were tense and arguing, a voice suddenly interrupted:
"Wow, the stars are out."
At the highest point in the stands, the Seven Princesses didn't know when they woke up, climbed up again, looked at the sky with half the sun and half the moon, and sighed loudly.
As soon as this star came out, the Seven Princesses seemed to be extraordinarily spiritual.
Even one person's emotion overpowered everyone's quarrels.
At this time, everyone realized that after the game, it was already dark.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and their stomachs began to rumble.
Noisy and noisy, noisy and noisy, the meal always has to be eaten.
In fact, don't look at the fierceness of a few of them, but few of them dare to do it first, after all, the taste of confinement is not comfortable.
And if you don't do it, you will miss tomorrow's Chongyang banquet, and even next month's Imperial Garden Competition.
"Eighth."
At this time, the fourth prince, who had bandaged his wounds, limped with the support of the six princesses.
"I'm sorry about Ah Xiang's matter."
"I didn't mean to target you."
"But you know, it's not just a game between you and me."
"Whoever stops us, no matter who I meet, I will do it."
The fourth prince said calmly.
"If you resent me, you can only get revenge in the future."
"I'll wait for you."
After the fourth prince finished speaking to the eighth prince, he turned his head and said:
"Big brother, let's go."
"There's a game tomorrow, so you have to get some rest."
After that, the four princes were ready to leave with the eldest prince and others.
"Wait!"
The Eighth Prince understood the truth, but he still couldn't accept that the Fourth Prince was just a few words so lightly.
But at this moment, someone suddenly called him behind him.
"Starling, starling......"
"Come and see Ah Xiang."
In the distance, Princess Ankang's voice came.
The eighth prince couldn't care about anything else, and after glaring at the back of the fourth prince, he hurried in the direction of Princess Ankang.
Seeing that there was no excitement watching, everyone dispersed, each went back to his own home, and looked for his own mother.
And on the side of the stands, the eighth prince saw Ah Xiang again.
"Ah Xiang, are you awake!?"
The eighth prince saw Ah Xiang lying in a small bamboo basket and said excitedly.
This small bamboo basket is Li Xuan's cat nest, and when he saw that Ah Xiang was injured, he took it out and lent it to him.
Ah Xiang opened his eyes at this time, but he couldn't move, and when he saw the Eighth Prince coming, he opened his mouth weakly and shouted twice.
After the previous game of the Eighth Prince, he subconsciously did not dare to come to Ah Xiang, so he impulsively clashed with the Fourth Prince.
He was unwilling to face such a painful separation again, and tried to use anger to dissipate the emotions he feared.
But now it seems that God has mercy, at least when he didn't let the Eighth Prince come back, he only saw Ah Xiang's cold body.
