Chapter 277 Knife Injury

I don't know when, Ruyi, who had been guarding Mu He in the side hall, took advantage of the guests to disperse, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, standing behind Xiao Yu without any sense of presence, and whispered a few words quickly to his side. , turned and left.

In the noisy hall, who would pay attention to whether such an inconspicuous little maid appeared.

When Xiao Yu heard this, his face remained motionless, and his eyes shot towards Chu Tiange like rays of light.

Chu Tiange had something on his mind, but after chatting with the emperor for a while, he got up and left in a hurry.

Xiao Yu has always acted wildly and was used to being undisciplined. What did he want to do? No matter what the occasion, when he saw Chu Tian Ge leaving, he didn't even say hello. He only glanced at Concubine Hui, got up and left the table, chasing Chu Tian all the way. Germanium out.

Beside Xiao Yu, Xiao Yi and Xiao Duo saw Chu Tiange and Xiao Yu both leave, knowing that there must be a reason, but hindering the emperor's presence, whether they have the heart or courage, they are just tormenting there like pins and needles, they can't stop thinking, Xiao What did Yu do?

Looking at her son's leaving figure, Concubine Hui's heart moved slightly, she thought for a moment, turned her head with a smile on her face, and said to the emperor through the queen: "Your Majesty, the autumn hunt is coming, and I haven't left the palace for a long time. I miss you so much." Take a look at the hunting flags at the hunting ground and feel the atmosphere of galloping with His Majesty back then. After so many years, I don’t know what the hunting ground has become.”

The look on her face is full of longing, just like a teenage girl who is pregnant, shy and coquettish, making people look at her and can't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

The emperor immediately smiled when he heard the words, "In previous years when you were asked to go, you just said that you couldn't bear the cold of the hunting ground and were too lazy to move, but this year you are looking forward to it early."

The queen was caught in the middle, and her eyes were a little sore from the emperor's tenderness towards Concubine Hui. However, for so many years, she had been able to play this dignified and virtuous person calmly, and now she was even more tolerant and generous. .

"Since my sister is looking forward to it, Your Majesty must take my sister to take a look at this year's autumn hunting." Shaking her steps, the queen turned to the emperor and smiled.

After saying that, he looked at Concubine Hui again, with a kind face on his face, "It's just that I have to bring all my belongings. My sister is delicate, and she can't stand up to beatings like those men. Don't look at the autumn wind in the palace bringing warm sunshine." The temperature and the wind in the hunting ground are so cold! My legs got cold because of the wind there, and they still hurt even on rainy days."

The queen's smiling eyes flashed with light.

When Concubine Hui heard the words, she nodded in agreement with a humble and courteous smile, but secretly sighed in her heart, the queen is the queen after all, no matter what the topic, she can always be used calmly.

Whenever the weather changes, the queen will suffer from leg problems. No matter how busy the emperor is, he must rest in the queen's palace that night.

Others said that the emperor and the queen had a deep love for each other. The emperor felt sorry for the queen, but among the whole palace, apart from the two parties involved, she was the only one who knew the reason.

Her legs were caused by the cold wind in the hunting ground. It was clearly the result of a knife wound that had not healed, leaving hidden diseases.

In the second year after the Emperor ascended the throne, he was still unmarried and the palace was vacant. The Queen Mother had already drafted a candidate and was just waiting for the Emperor's final decision.

Select one person to be the queen, and the other three will be ranked according to their rank.

On the day of the autumn hunt, the flags covered the sun and it was very lively. The four selected queens also followed the team.

The young emperor was high-spirited. As soon as he arrived at the hunting ground, he invited a group of ministers who had always been friends with him to start a competition to see who could get the most spoils.

The horns were blown, the drums were beating loudly, and the flags were calling. In the hunting ground, as people returned one after another with their trophies, the atmosphere continued to be pushed to a climax.

In the entire competition, there were no more than two people who attracted the most attention. One was of course the current emperor, and the other was Chinanhou Gu Zhen.

In front of the emperor, Gu Zhen never understood what it means to be a courtier. He fought for what should be taken and showed no mercy.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, and every time he was forced to lose face by Gu Zhen, he just jumped up and scolded him with a black face, what should be better afterwards, and the two of them should be better.

Therefore, in today's game, the performance of the two of them has naturally become the focus.

As the sky gradually darkened and dusk gradually fell, Gu Zhen rode his horse out of the forest, and behind him was a blind bear. Seeing this, everyone immediately cheered, but there was no figure of His Majesty behind Gu Zhen.

Someone immediately noticed something strange and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Where is your Majesty?"

Gu Zhen handed over the injured Xiong Xiong to the soldiers who stepped forward to help him. Surprise and suspicion filled the corners of his eyes and brows, "Your Majesty is not back?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Gu Zhen's expression suddenly changed, he took the horse, turned around and ran into the forest.

But before they reached the edge of the forest, they saw the emperor riding out without prey. Sitting on the horse was the current queen with a blushing face.

Gu Zhen jumped to his feet immediately, "If you are hunting, you are hunting. We are so scared here. We thought you were caught by a blind bear and taken into the hole to feed the bear cubs. It would be better for you..." After glancing at the girl on the horse, Gu Zhen couldn't hold back. the following words.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of all the courtiers, the emperor was scolded by Gu Zhen, but he showed no anger. He only smiled and said: "I can't compare to you anyway. Instead of working hard, it's better to enjoy the flowers." ."

With a flower appreciation and a pun, the queen immediately blushed with embarrassment, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, daring not to raise her head.

As a courtier, except for Gu Zhen, who is lawless, who would dare to make fun of the emperor, even the emperor's brother, Duan Wang, just bowed his head and shrugged, secretly laughing.

Everyone naturally breathed a sigh of relief when the emperor returned safely, and the night bonfire barbecue kicked off.

From that day on, the queen lived in the emperor's camp until the camp left and returned to the palace. The next day, the emperor signed an edict and the queen was chosen.

This matter is known to everyone and is not a secret.

What Concubine Hui knew more about was from the emperor's own words.

The reason why the emperor did not return at sunset that day was not because he was riding a horse to admire the flowers as he said, but because he encountered assassins in the depths of the dense forest. Because of martial arts, he died unjustly in the forest a long time ago.

But in the end, it was difficult for one person to defeat two people, and his powerlessness gradually became apparent. As the emperor became more and more tired, the queen emerged from the forest and ran in the direction of their fight, shouting as she ran, "Catch the assassin." , arrest the assassin, the emperor is here, come quickly!"

With that look, even the emperor seriously thought that there were others coming behind her.

Hearing this, the two assassins didn't dare to fight. They swung their knives for the last time, turned around and fled in a hurry. The one knife, but impartial, slashed straight at the queen's leg who happened to be running in front of the emperor.

……

Concubine Hui still remembers the unspeakable guilt on the emperor's face when he mentioned this matter. In his heart, the sword that the queen received was clearly on his behalf.
