Chapter 222: There Are Fierce Beasts in the Forest
Emperor Zhengxuan had not ridden a horse for many years.
After so many years, he was once again riding a horse with his bow in hand, especially with a large group of civil and military officials behind him. This made him feel as if he had returned to the time when he led troops to fight. For a moment, he felt a long-lost excitement in his heart.
It was at this moment that a deer suddenly jumped out of the forest.
"Father, there are deers, there are deers!" King Qi was the first to shout.
Emperor Zhengxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rode his horse in pursuit. While chasing, he quickly raised his bow. Just when he was about to shoot the deer, the horse under him suddenly went crazy for some reason, and suddenly
Emperor Zhengxuan was thrown out with a sudden movement.
"Father!"
"His Majesty!"
Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly dismounted their horses and wanted to come over to check Emperor Zhengxuan's injury. But at this moment, a low roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded in the forest. Accompanied by this low roar, soon, a beast with shiny fur appeared.
The leopard jumped out of the bushes.
"It's a leopard! It's a leopard!" King Qi was the first to call out. As he shouted, he quickly stepped back!
The moment Emperor Zhengxuan was thrown off his horse, his mind went blank for a while, and then the severe pain in his waist tore his whole body apart. When he bared his teeth and was about to call someone, he heard King Qi step back with a look of horror on his face.
He kept shouting something...
leopard!
What leopard!
This forest has been inspected countless times by Jin Yiwei and Zuo Yiwei. Where did the leopard come from?
This bastard!
When Emperor Zhengxuan was about to endure the severe pain and scold King Qi, he suddenly heard something behind him approaching him step by step...
No, there really are leopards!
This thought flashed in Emperor Zhengxuan's mind, and his whole body tensed up instantly, and for a moment he couldn't even feel the pain.
Just when he was about to turn his head, a black shadow leaped into the air. Emperor Zhengxuan took a breath. He watched the black panther rushing towards him. Just when he thought he would die here
At that moment, a figure suddenly jumped out, and one person and the other quickly rolled to the ground.
From the moment you see a leopard to the moment it pounces on you, it only takes a moment.
It wasn't until he saw Xie Zheng flying out and throwing the leopard to the ground that General Ying An of the Yulin Guards reacted. He hurriedly used the Yulin Guards to protect Emperor Zhengxuan.
On the other side, Chen Xiang also quickly arrived and led Zuo Yiwei to rush forward to support Xie Zheng.
After several rounds of killing, the black panther finally fell into a pool of blood. Xie Zheng and Chen Xiang's faces were stained with blood, especially Xie Zheng's. The blood marks on his arms that were deep enough to show the bones were even more ferocious and terrifying.
Several other Zuo Yiwei who stepped forward to help were unscathed because they did not intervene at all at that time.
Chen Xiang didn't say anything. He walked to Xie Zheng's side with a sullen face, reached out and took out the medicinal powder from his arms and quickly sprinkled it on Xie Zheng's wound. Then, he quickly pulled off his clothes and bandaged Xie Zheng's wound.
Xie Zheng tugged at Chen Xiang with a serious look on his face. He patted his shoulder, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm fine. Let's go see His Majesty first!"
Chen Xiang saw that Xie Zheng had a pale face and a forced smile, thinking that he was worried that His Majesty would hold him to account later, so she hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, we Zuo Yiwei are not the only ones investigating this forest."
, Jinyiwei and Yulinwei are among them, and we need to be held accountable together!"
There is a saying that the law should not be punished by the public!
He didn't believe that Emperor Zhengxuan could remove all of them from office!
"However, it's really strange. We have clearly checked this forest countless times, but why is there still a leopard escaping out?" Chen Xiang frowned and said in confusion.
Xie Zheng frowned, and just as he was about to answer, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. He quickly raised his eyes and looked over, and his eyes met with Lu Zhan's, who was coming on horseback.
Xie Zheng tightened his palms.
"Uncle Shi, there may be an accident today, so please be sure to follow Your Majesty closely!"
In a daze, Lu Zhan's voice rang in his ears again. He saw Lu Zhan turn over and dismount, and then quickly ran towards Emperor Zhengxuan who was guarded by Yu Lin in the center.
Xie Zheng pursed his lips and raised his hand to hold his right arm. He suddenly couldn't tell what it felt like.
Chen Xiang thought he was worried that Zuo Yiwei would be held accountable. In fact, he was not worried about this. He was worried that the leopard was deliberately let in, and the person who let the leopard out might be...
"Thank you, brother? Thank you, brother?" Seeing that Xie Zheng was holding his arm for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, Chen Xiang couldn't help but call him twice. When he saw him raise his head, he said, "Thank you, brother, let's go!"
Let’s go back!”
"Where is your Majesty?" Xie Zheng asked subconsciously.
Chen Xiang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips and said, "His Majesty has been carried away, and there are guards here to clean up the mess. Let's go back!"
"Okay." Xie Zheng responded, and then endured the pain and climbed back on the horse again.
At this time, the female relatives waiting outside also heard the news that a ferocious beast suddenly appeared in the forest, and that Emperor Zhengxuan was frightened and fell off his horse. For a moment, the female relatives all turned pale, and they were all worried about their husbands and sons.
Especially the virtuous concubine.
After listening to the little eunuch's words, she was so shocked that she almost slipped off the chair. It took her a long time to finally wake up, but the first words she said after waking up were, "What about King Qi? King Qi
Where is he? Is he okay?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Prince Qi, is fine." The young eunuch replied quickly.
Upon hearing what the young eunuch said, Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Concubine Xian, Your Majesty was frightened and fell off his horse. You didn't even ask a word of concern and just opened your mouth to ask King Qi. If you do this, Your Majesty will not know what to think if he finds out!" Concubine Shu pulled the veil and said
Wiping away the tears that were not present at the corners of her eyes, she asked Concubine Xian angrily.
"Who said I don't care about your majesty! It's just that he didn't mention King Qi just now, so I asked extra questions, why, is it wrong for me to care about my son? But that's right, like Sister Shu Fei
How can a person like this without a son understand my motherly heart?" As soon as she heard that her son was fine, Concubine Xian immediately regained her fighting strength.
Concubine Shu, who had been poked in the sore spot, was obviously getting angry. She couldn't help but retorted, "Sister Xianfei is indeed a loving mother. People who don't know, think that I only have one son, King Qi!"
Concubine Xian's chest froze, and when she was about to open her mouth to retort, there was sudden movement in the forest.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu had quick eyes and quick hands. When she saw the Yulin Guards carrying Emperor Zhengxuan out, she hurriedly ran over there.
Concubine Xian, who was a step slower, felt her chest become more and more congested. She quickly pinched her thigh, and then followed Concubine Shu towards Emperor Zhengxuan with red eyes, "Your Majesty!"
Although Xie Wu had long expected that something would happen today, when she saw Xie Zheng walking out covered in blood, she still felt a sharp pain in her chest.
"Dad." Xie Wu hurriedly stepped forward and called Xie Zheng.
Looking at the eldest daughter's slightly red eyes, Xie Zheng couldn't help but feel a little sore in his heart, but then countless warmth surged through his heart. He smiled and raised his other uninjured hand, and he stroked it with a smile.
Xie Wu held her hand and said to her in a low voice, "Don't worry, daddy is fine!"
"I'll ask someone to call the imperial doctor right now!" Xie Wu said hurriedly.
After hearing what Xie Wu said, Xie Zheng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Silly girl, I'm fine. I just suffered a little skin injury. I'll just go back and put some medicine on it and it'll be fine!"
Xie Wu's eyes moved, and then she remembered that Emperor Zhengxuan was also injured. At this time, all the imperial doctors should have rushed to the hunting palace.
"In that moment, I will give dad the medicine." Xie Wu lowered her eyes and said in a dumb voice.
She should tell her father everything!
In this way, maybe Dad won’t be hurt!
"Okay! I didn't expect that I, Xie Zheng, would have such a blessing! If your grandfather knew, I don't know how much he would envy me!" Xie Zheng also saw the guilt in Xie Wu's eyes at this moment, so he
He smiled and pretended to be relaxed.
Could it be said that Ah Wu also knew about what happened today?
Xie Zheng couldn't help but think of Lu Zhan's seemingly casual words when he passed by him again. If it weren't for those words, he wouldn't have reacted so quickly today. Then, it is possible that Emperor Zhengxuan would have really been buried in the leopard's mouth!
Therefore, Lu Zhan probably did not want to kill the king, otherwise, he would not have bothered to remind him.
But if it’s not Lu Zhan, then who is the person who wants to kill the king?
Perhaps, he should find an opportunity to ask Lu Zhan for clarification, because he must know who the person who deliberately put the leopard into the forest with the intention of regicide!
Thinking of this, Xie Zheng took a long breath and decided to put aside his suspicion for the time being.
Anyway, everything will be resolved after meeting Lu Zhan, and he has a hunch that Lu Zhan will come to him soon.
In this compartment, Xie Zheng followed Xie Wu back to the camp, while on the other side, Emperor Zhengxuan had already carried him into the hunting palace.
His lumbar vertebrae were broken, his right hand was also broken, and his head was slightly injured. He had already fainted from the pain before being carried into the hunting palace. Several imperial doctors broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads after seeing Emperor Zhengxuan's injuries.
Although the risk did not damage the internal organs, at Emperor Zhengxuan's age, if he suffered such a serious injury, he would not be able to recover within two or three months, let alone still outside the palace!
Especially when I have to set his bones for a while!
Seeing the cold sweat breaking out on Dr. Wang's forehead, Concubine Shu immediately became anxious. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Doctor Wang, please say something! Your Majesty, his injury is not serious..."
Seeing Emperor Zhengxuan lying on the bed without any blood, Concubine Shu was so panicked that she trembled all over.
Although she hates Concubine Xian, what Concubine Xian said just now is really right. She has no son, and her current status depends entirely on His Majesty's favor. The Queen will win her over, so why not take a fancy to her?
Just in case your Majesty...
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't care about anything at the moment. She pulled the sleeve of Imperial Physician Jade and began to cry. "Physician Wang, you must save His Majesty! I am begging you!"
Dr. Wang's face was full of embarrassment, and when he was about to answer Concubine Shu, he heard Emperor Zhengxuan suddenly squeaked from the bed.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Emperor Zhengxuan made a move, Concubine Shu let go of Imperial Physician Wang's hand and knelt down in front of the bed with a pop, "Your Majesty, you are awake, you are finally awake..."
