Wishful Things

Chapter 668 Panic

"According to the general, does this horse seem to be poisoned..." Emperor Zhaozhen checked the condition of the horse, and said to King Dongyang in a low voice.

King Dongyang nodded imperceptibly.

Although the horse lay down on the cart, it didn't pass out, it seemed that it was paralyzed and unable to move.

At this moment, Emperor Zhaozhen found the steel needle that was almost completely submerged in the horse's belly.

Xie Wuyang quickly raised his father's hand, pulled out the steel needle calmly, and explained in a low voice: "This needle was pierced by Zhao Zhao, so the horse gradually fell into paralysis, and my son was able to subdue it."

Only three people can hear this statement.

King Dongyang made a distinction in his heart.

Therefore, this strange paralysis is manifested after the startled horse, not the real reason for the startled horse...

The old man took another step forward, stretched out his hands to check Da Ma's half-closed eyes, and shook his head slightly: "It doesn't seem like he was surprised by something foreign..."

There are often clues in the eyes of frightened and frantic horses.

Seeing this, several military officials surrounded him.

King Jing also came forward, followed closely by Prince Jing's son, looking attentive and enthusiastic, and guessing: "Your Majesty, my lord... As far as Shengchang knows, if some horses don't defecate smoothly, Often also show a manic state!"

Xie Wuyang took another look at this cousin.

The cousin looks extremely unreliable, but he has dabbled a lot.

Although this statement is unpopular, it is not without basis.

When the two armies of the previous dynasties were at war, there was a precedent of sneaking into the enemy's stables and injecting medicine into the fodder of the opponent's horses, so that the feces of the horses were clogged and unable to fight.

Unlike other poisons, this drug is practically non-toxic, so it is difficult for horse breeders to detect abnormalities.

If this horse is really tampered with like this...

Xie Wuyang's words hadn't finished in his mind when he suddenly heard a strange noise, followed by a pungent smell.

"..."

Seeing the big pile of hot horse dung suddenly pulled out by the big horse on the cart, Prince Jing's eyes twitched.

As expected of a horse from Dongyang Prince's Mansion, can this understand people's words or something? Why did you respond?

Seeing that everyone was staring at the pile of horse dung, Prince Jing said with a dry smile: "It seems that at least this possibility can be ruled out..."

"Knife." The security guard beside Dongyang Dynasty stretched out his hand.

Prince Jing's head buzzed.

He...he is not joking!

Rao's father often said that he looked like a bad boy, but that wouldn't make General Xu angry!

Seeing the old man pull out the long knife, the dazed Prince Jing was about to hide behind his father when he saw the old man holding the knife and picking at the pile of horse manure.

Picking it up like this, the faint sour smell spread out a lot more.

Emperor Zhaozhen didn't care about it at all, instead he got closer and looked at it for a moment, but immediately frowned.

The horse manure is thin, and the forage eaten is not fully digested...

The experienced general changed his face: "This looks like a sheep walking...!"

Sheep's heel is also called sheep's heel kick. The reason for this name is that sheep, cattle and other domestic animals will appear manic and restless after eating by mistake——

"That's right, it's exactly this thing." Emperor Zhaozhen's expression turned cold.

"Sheep and roe are mostly produced in the Soviet Union, and now it is late autumn, there must be no such thing in the mountains." Xie Wuyang said in a firm and cold tone: "So, it is impossible for the horse to eat it by mistake, but someone Deliberately."

The expressions of all the ministers who surrounded him one after another changed after hearing the words.

In other words...someone intentionally tampered with the girl of the Xu family's horse? !

It should be known that people are killed under the shock of a horse, that is also a common thing!

What's more, it will soon be another daughter's house...

For a while, most of the ministers were terrified.

This little girl is not only the darling of Dongyang King, but also the future princess, if something really happened here today...

But at the moment, before King Dongyang could speak, Emperor Zhaozhen said solemnly: "Don't worry, General, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and will give you and Miss Xu an explanation."

As he said that, he summoned the new commander of the security guards and explained the matter.

The commander of the police guards came down and immediately arranged for people to go everywhere.

The most urgent task is to control the inside and outside of the Quanhe Palace first, and not let go of any suspicious people or things.

Xie Wuyang also said: "This matter is no small matter, a little carelessness is enough to endanger life, if the perpetrator is found out, he should be punished as murder, there is absolutely no possibility of condoning it."

Now that this statement is made, and there are many ministers to testify, it is doomed that no matter who is found after the incident, they will not be able to escape being severely punished.

"Yes, I believe that His Majesty will deal with it fairly." King Dongyang's tone was quite calm, but there seemed to be a silent scrutiny in the sight of everyone.

Facing this sharp blade-like sight, several ministers who had previously opposed Xu Mingyi's participation in the hunt couldn't help but change their expressions.

See what they do!

It's true that they disapprove of women's participation in hunting, but it's not enough to attack a little girl because of this, right?

Not to mention that these methods are too vile and vicious, but just one point - do they dare?

If they really think they are destined to grow up, they can throw themselves into the river and hang themselves, so why bother so much!

King Dongyang's thoughts were far more than that.

Zhaozhao participated in the hunt, but at this time he had not really revealed the so-called conflict of interests in the court, so it would not have caused disasters.

And this matter may not be aimed at Zhao Zhao himself...

Either because of the imperial decree to be married as the crown princess, or because it was aimed at him and the Xu family...

The interest involved is far more complicated than it appears on the surface, he should be more prepared!

What he, Xu Qiwei, hated the most in his life was that the disputes in the battlefield and officialdom involved his family members.

If he finds out the person who attacked Zhaozhao this time, he will have to dig deep to the bottom, and he will never get rid of anyone who is involved!

The object of suspicion of the old man is more than the interests of the court, but Xie Wuyang thinks more.

The young man looked in one direction from afar.

It was like a boulder thrown into the lake, and the waves gradually spread.

The horse of the girl from the Xu family was secretly poisoned—this thunder quickly spread to the ears of everyone present.

All the female relatives were alarmed, and there were constant voices of shock and discussion.

"How could such a thing happen!"

"Who is so bold..."

"Boom!" Princess Yufeng put down the wine glass heavily with a serious face: "I want to see who is so desperate!"

Cui didn't care too much, and when she left the table to find Xu Ming, she wanted to ask what happened.

Both the security guards and the imperial guards had been dispatched, and the saber at the waist made a shocking sound as they walked.

The heartbeat of the green-clothed maid standing aside was getting faster and faster—everything happened very quickly from the incident, to the detection of the roe deer, to the emperor's order to strictly investigate, and now the situation was brought under control. The situation is so big, and the situation has become clear and the degree of attention has far exceeded the initial expectation!

If it goes on like this, shouldn't it really find out something?

The maid couldn't help but frequently looked towards the direction of the forest.

Now that the poisoning of the horses has been detected, under such circumstances, why did His Majesty not stop hunting and recall everyone in the mountain?

The maid wholeheartedly hoped that the master would come out earlier so that he could respond earlier. She couldn't figure out why the hunting was still allowed to continue, but most of the officials had the answer in their hearts—

Although this matter is no small matter, fortunately Miss Xu did not make any serious mistakes, so the situation will not fall into chaos——

Another thing is that before the truth is known, everyone is suspicious. Under such circumstances, temporarily controlling people within sight is the least likely situation to hinder progress.

No need to think about it, people everywhere in the palace will be controlled by the police guards soon.

Seeing that Emperor Zhaozhen and King Dongyang sat back temporarily, and all the ministers also returned to their positions, the more such a moment, the more no one dared to find an excuse to leave their positions.

Only Jiang Taifu is different——

There is no way, people are too old to live up to expectations, and they are really incomparable with these young people.

With the support of an internal eunuch, Jiang Taifu, who had also tried hard for a long time, went to the toilet tremblingly.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, the drumbeat of the end of the hunt finally sounded.

With the sound of drums, soon someone came out of the forest.

Some horses carried prey of various sizes on both sides of their backs, and they seemed a little complacent, and naturally some people returned empty-handed.

A few playboys who had nothing to gain came out together, picked some wild fruits from nowhere in their hands, chatted and laughed while eating the fruits, and didn't care about the death stares cast by their elders.

Isn't it just that he didn't catch the prey? Even His Majesty said in advance, the most important thing is to participate!

The young children didn't know what happened outside when they entered the mountain, and naturally they didn't know the real reason why they were glared at by the elders, they still talked and laughed and teased each other after getting off the horse.

Emperor Zhaozhen did not stop the yelling, but asked the eunuch in charge to come forward and count the prey as usual.

Soon, Princess Yongjia rode her green horse out of the forest.

She brought back a few not-so-big prey.

The girl got off the horse and threw the reins to the inner prisoner. She was not in a happy mood—she was unlucky today, and all she met were frightened prey, and she ran very fast when she heard the slightest movement. Arrow Chance.

But compared to those who returned empty-handed, it was enough.

After all, she never thought of competing with those men and military officers, she just wanted to win against Xu Mingyi from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of this, Princess Yongjia glanced around.

At a glance, she saw the imperial physician who had withdrawn from the side tent.

Princess Yongjia frowned slightly.

However, in the next instant, the face of the person walking out of the tent changed.

What is brother?

How could my brother be injured?

Looking at the young man with the wound cloth wrapped around his hands, Princess Yongjia's eyes changed a little, and she didn't understand what happened.

She looked around subconsciously, and finally her gaze fell on King Dongyang, and she saw the old man sitting in his original position, with a calm and prestige face that made it impossible to see what was going on.

But at this moment, a boy's voice suddenly sounded: "Grandfather, sister is back!"

King Dongyang stood up suddenly when he heard the sound, and immediately looked at the entrance of the mountain forest, and he saw a person and a horse appearing in his sight.

The young girl in black on the horse had a straight figure, grasping the rein with one hand and driving the horse back unhurriedly, turning her head towards him with a smile on her face.

The old man's heart was relieved, but his throat was suddenly constricted, and his eyes were a little astringent.

Seeing that Xu Mingyi dismounted and returned home with a full load, most of the people were astonished—they only saw the startled horse, but not the girl from the Xu family. Although some people said that she was still hunting in the mountains, most people subconsciously thought that A little girl was frightened, and most likely she was injured like His Highness the Crown Prince, but she didn't know how serious the injury was, so she was supposed to be taken back to the palace...

But the little girl actually stayed in the mountains to hunt!

And looking at it now, it really looks like it has been dropped.

The astonishment of everyone reached its peak when the inner prisoner counted the prey and announced that the person who hunted the most today was actually the girl from the Xu family.

The faces of those civil servants who claimed that women's participation in hunting would only make the autumn hunting trip lose their majesty, and were even nondescript, were too exciting for a while.

At this time, a military officer beside Xu Mingyi stepped forward.

If there is no Xu Ming's intention today, this first place will be his.

The man cupped his hands towards the girl, and said with a smile: "Just now in the mountains, Miss Xu and I took aim at a flower deer at the same time. Miss Xu took the bow first and did not disturb the prey, so Fang hunted down the deer. ——Although Miss Xu is young, she excels not only in riding and archery skills, today's first hunt, Fang is convinced to lose!"

Xu Mingyi also raised his hand to return the gift: "General Chengfang yields."

She chose to give in just now, but in fact there are some "calculations".

This General Fang is the former subordinate of the King of Yan. He is indeed a brave and resourceful person, and he can be regarded as her elder. A flower deer is nothing, if it leaves a good impression on the other party, it can be used to calm people's hearts Undoubtedly very cost-effective.

And that doesn't conflict with her wanting to win—

Such a character, with the principle of self-dignity, would not really accept being surrendered by a junior-he could not, and did not, bring back the deer as his prey.

Looking around, Emperor Zhaozhen personally handed the dagger into the girl's hand.

"Your Majesty, my daughter, thank you for your kindness."

"Miss Xu is really amazing!" A little girl stood up and shouted excitedly.

Xu Mingyi heard the sound and turned his head to look.

From a distance of not too far, all the female relatives only felt as if they were looking at those pair of bright black eyes——

The girl in a black robe has a snow-white complexion, and her hair, which was neatly tied when she left, is a little messy now, with a few strands scattered down, with grass clippings on it, and even small scars on her face——

No matter how you look at it, it is a bit embarrassing.

But at this moment, she was smiling in their direction, raised her chin slightly, and waved the dagger in her hand at them.

The gems inlaid on the scabbard are dazzling in the afternoon sun, as bright as the smile on a girl's face.

This smile was deeply imprinted in the eyes of many wives and young ladies, it was silent but burning hot.

Seeing this scene, Princess Yufeng's eyes suddenly blurred, and a sigh with a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

She finally understood why this girl insisted on joining in the fun, and why she continued with her injuries...

Xu Zhaozhao wanted to win.

Win for all women.

Princess Yongjia almost gritted her back teeth.

When it was getting late, when she returned to the palace, she raised her hand and slapped the maid on the face: "Idiot! What are you going to do!"

The maid in green knelt down with a "plop".

"The servant girl followed the princess' orders, but who knows..."

She recounted everything that happened outside the forest today.

Princess Yongjia's expression changed again and again.

Brother found something strange and chased into the forest?

Father Huang, Dongyang Wang and others found out on the spot that the horses had been poisoned by sheep slugs, and they ordered a strict investigation into the matter at that time? !

How could Xu Mingyi be so lucky!

Princess Yongjia was not reconciled, but there was a trace of panic in her heart that she didn't want to admit: "...Is everything cleaned up?"

good night~

(I encountered a warm and beautiful incident today. When I was outside during the day, it suddenly rained heavily. Our family of three did not bring an umbrella. When we came out of a store, my uncle and grandpa were running into the car with the cub. A strange old man in a white vest passed by. With a very natural movement, he raised the umbrella above the heads of the two of them. He sent them to the front of the car and waited for them to get in the car! Because it was only a few steps away, the uncle and grandpa only cared about it. My son didn't notice haha, I said "Thank you!" at the back, and my uncle and grandpa responded and thanked me. The old man said it was all right and left with a smile. So, everyone was in a good mood all the way back. Life always There are such small things and lovely people that heal us, so I want to become an existence that can heal others.
