Chapter 722 Doubt
The commander of the imperial army bowed his head and accepted the order, and said: "I have already arranged the peripheral protection of Xishan."

The emperor nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Where's Yu'er? He's been in Xishan for so long, but he's quite calm."

The commander of the imperial army smiled and said: "Your Highness, the fourth prince, is very patient. He has already gone hunting with several princes."

The emperor's face darkened, "What kind of hunting is it at this time? It's freezing cold. It's not a trivial matter to bump into each other. What's more, the sky is getting late and twilight is approaching. There is no way to see the road. What a fool! Again Whoever ate too much and was full came up with a bad idea in front of him and instigated him to go!"

The commander of the Forbidden Army twitched his lips. Who could have instigated him? It would be good if he didn't instigate others. Even His Highness Ninth Prince, who was usually aloof and kept away from others, went with him.

What's more, the Fourth Highness is accompanied by Ming Lu, who has extraordinary skills. The other princes are accompanied by chamberlains who only know their tricks. Don't worry about those little princes who are younger than the Fourth Highness. We are only worried about His Highness the Fourth Prince... Isn't this bias a bit too biased...

He was slandering in his heart, so naturally he didn't dare to say a word, so he just buried his head and waited for his words.

The emperor complained, and then said: "Send someone to find them quickly and come back. If you wait until dark, you will encounter jackals, wild leopards, bears, and blind people. This is no joke. Hurry!"

The emperor said in a hurry. In a hurry, the body that had been lying down had already sat upright and shouted his orders to the commander of the imperial army.

The commander of the forbidden army shook his lips and accepted the order, turned around and walked out of the hot spring pool.

Just after leaving for less than a cup of tea, he turned back with a solemn expression. The emperor saw his expression at first sight and without waiting for his reply, he asked: "Did something happen to Yu'er?"

The commander of the imperial army looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The matter with His Highness the Fourth is not serious, but something happened to His Highness the Ninth."

The emperor seemed not to have heard the second half of the sentence. He only finished the first half of the commander's sentence. Regardless of whether he was still replying, he added what he said and said: "It's not serious, what do you mean?"

While speaking, he got up from Tangquan Pond in a huff.

The head servant hurriedly turned his head and took the dry handkerchief on the chair beside him, wiped off the water stains on the emperor's body, and helped him put on his clothes.

"The Fourth Highness twisted his foot while chasing the rabbit." The commander of the Forbidden Army had no choice but to report back. After talking about Xiao Yu, he mentioned Xiao Ke again, "On the contrary, the Ninth Highness..."

"Twisted foot? Is it serious? Twisted foot seems like a trivial matter, and is most easily ignored and ignored. But because of this, how many people end up with lifelong diseases due to a moment of inattention. What about others? ? But I asked the imperial doctor to come over and take a look, but he probably didn’t find anything. His temper must be that he doesn’t take it seriously. This brat can’t let me feel comfortable for a day."

The emperor immediately blocked the second half of the commander of the imperial army's words. As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked out.

The head chamberlain and the commander of the forbidden army looked at each other, saw the messy helplessness in each other's eyes, and hurriedly followed.

After stepping out of the gate of the Tangquan Pool, the emperor said, "What did you just say about Ke'er?"

The commander of the Forbidden Army cursed in his heart. Fortunately, you still remember that I mentioned His Highness Ninth Highness and said respectfully: "While His Highness Ninth Highness was hunting, he mistakenly shot a girl who went up the mountain to collect medicine."

The emperor's brows paused as he listened, and an inexplicable uneasiness rose in his heart, "A girl collecting medicine?"

At this time, winter has already entered. Where can the medicinal materials be collected from the mountains? Even if there are any, why must the medicinal materials be collected at dusk when wild animals are infested in the mountains? As a girl, isn't she afraid of being eaten alive by wild animals?

Having experienced an assassination attempt at a hunting ground in his early years, the emperor was particularly sensitive to such things.

"Where's the person?" he asked as he walked quickly towards the courtyard where Xiao Yu lived, his voice became obviously solemn and low.

The commander of the imperial army realized the subtle change in the emperor's mood and immediately said: "The fourth prince made the decision and sent people to his courtyard. The fourth prince said that the courtyard of the ninth prince is too small to live in. There are many vacant rooms in his courtyard... …”

Hearing this, the emperor's heart tightened suddenly, "You bastard, what are you making up for! If it's an assassin, he's not leading a wolf into the house!"

The pace of his feet became faster and faster.

Seeing this, the chief chamberlain followed him hurriedly and comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't panic. There are guards of the imperial army all around. Even if he is an assassin, the Fourth Highness will be fine. Not to mention that the Fourth Highness himself is good at martial arts. He That Ming Lu in front of me is also a good player."

The emperor glanced at him, "What do you know!"

Whose child feels bad for me? If it were your son tomorrow, you would be more nervous than me!

Although the words in his heart were unspoken, they were inexplicably blessed to the soul. The head servant still understood the meaning of the twitch at the corner of the emperor's mouth in an instant, and his heart shrank.

The old slave's son... the old slave's son had been killed by the queen a long time ago!
As they spoke, the group of people had already approached the gate of Xiao Yu's courtyard. Just as they were about to reach the gate, they saw Xiao Yu coming from one side with Ming Lu, holding a medicine bottle in his hand, followed by a panting imperial doctor. .

The emperor immediately paused and said to him: "Didn't you twist your feet and why are you running around!"

Arriving in front of the emperor in a few steps, Xiao Yu looked aggrieved and said: "When I was hunting, my ninth brother mistakenly mistook a girl for a rabbit and shot him with an arrow. I was afraid of causing death, so I hurriedly called the imperial doctor." Show her."

The emperor snorted angrily, "Call the doctor and just send someone from the palace to go there. You have to go there yourself!"

The expression on Xiao Yu's face was even more aggrieved, "Ninth brother didn't want this matter to become known to everyone, and I also felt that it would cause a fuss and bring bad reputation to my ninth brother, so I went there in person."

The emperor rolled his eyes at him, "You do feel sorry for your brother!"

While talking, several people walked to Xiao Yu's courtyard. As they were walking, they suddenly saw people moving under the shadow of the dark trees. The emperor was walking in front. He immediately paused and said in a low voice: "Stop!"

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the commander of the forbidden army immediately drew his sword, and stood in front of the emperor, while the rest of them held their breath and looked towards the tree shadow.

But suddenly, the British Duke was seen walking out of the shadows and heading straight into a room lit by bright yellow candlelight.

"Him?" The emperor frowned, secretly startled, turned his head and lowered his voice and asked Xiao Yu, "Who is in that room?"

I don't know whether he was startled by the sudden appearance of the British Duke, or was infected by the emperor's sudden mood. Xiao Yu also lowered his voice, with an expression as if he was facing an enemy, and said: "That's the injured girl... Oh, Yes, there is also the ninth brother. When I came out, the ninth brother was guarding him."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no one else.

When the British Duke walked into the house, the emperor moved quietly and moved closer to the house. In front of the house was a thousand-year-old tree. Although all the leaves had fallen in winter, the thick trunk cast a huge shadow on the ground. In the shadows, just out of sight of the people inside the house, but just enough to hear the sounds inside.
