Splendid concubine

Chapter 173 Distress
Liu Ruyi dragged Mu Zitan, whose legs had weakened, and finally returned to the circle surrounded by the maids. The tiger looked at them lazily, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

It was biting the little sika deer big mouthfuls, and on the way Liu Ruyi dragged Mu Zitan back, the tiger had already eaten the little sika deer, leaving only the internal organs.

Licking his lips, Tiger looked at Mu Zitan and Liu Ruyi with unsatisfied interest.

Seeing that the tiger had bad intentions, Liu Ruyi quickly ordered.

"Shooting arrows, while shooting arrows, backing up. When we got to the hunting ground, we sent out two people to call for help."

It was said that those maids shot arrows at the tiger again, but fortunately, they brought enough arrows.

The tiger dodged nimbly, and then, still lingering nearby, followed Liu Ruyi and the others all the way forward, and it seemed that he would not give up until he was full.

Although the twenty or so people are good at archery, they are women, so there is no guarantee that they can overthrow such a big tiger, and they can vaguely see a few cubs behind the tiger. The cubs are mostly big, and their strength cannot be underestimated. , It is really dangerous, the tiger is full, but the cub is not yet.

Generally, tigers should let children eat first. I don't know why this tiger is so strange.

However, now it's not a matter of thinking about the strangeness of the tiger, let's talk about getting out of danger first.

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Ruyi's forehead.Suddenly, Liu Ruyi looked at the bay red horse that Mu Zitan was riding before. After Mu Zitan was dragged back by her, his legs were still weak and he did not dare to ride the horse by himself, so Liu Ruyi took her to his own horse.

Seeing that the bay red horse was stupid and didn't know how to follow them, the tiger's eyes had drifted to the bay red horse several times. On the front legs, the bay red horse wailed, and knelt down on the ground, the tiger's eyes lit up, and immediately went to the bay red horse.

"Take this opportunity and leave quickly." Liu Ruyi said in a low voice, and everyone else applauded and prepared to leave.

But they had been paying attention to the tiger just now, but they didn't notice that the horse was trembling under its crotch.

It's all tigers that threaten these horses too much.

Not only Liu Ruyi, but also a few timid maids started to cry.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but Liu Ruyi's mind was spinning rapidly.

Others don't know, but Liu Ruyi's eyes are clear, and she can see clearly that the fence was broken, and the tiger family came in from here. It seems that someone wants Xiao Moli to be guilty of doing things wrong, or to target someone. Want to kill someone.

Thinking of the time before noon, when Mu Zitan broke into the emperor's tent with a rabbit in his arms, in order to coax Mu Zitan to play, the emperor once said in public that he would accompany Mu Zitan to go hunting on horseback in the afternoon and catch a rabbit for her to play with.

However, the emperor still did not come with him.

Gein suddenly had the possibility that Chief Ye would discuss matters with the emperor.

For this reason, Mu Zitan also lost his temper, and the emperor had to coax him for a long time by cede land and pay compensation before Mu Zitan became happy again.

Who has such great ability?In such a short time, can a tiger be arranged?

You must know that there are several circles surrounded by the Royal Forest Army outside, and they can't break through at all. Therefore, someone has cooperated with them inside and out. Now that they have this ability, Liu Ruyi's first suspicion is the Queen Mother. That old witch really can't take it easy.

"What should I do, what should I do? I'm sure I'm going to die here today." A palace maid trembled and started talking nonsense, but Liu Ruyi gave her a hard look.

The two who went to ask for help have already gone, and now they are just delaying time.

The tiger was biting the horse meat with big mouthfuls, while its eyes were still peeping here, and it didn't know whether it was afraid of them protecting the food, or coveted them.

Simply, the second prince and his party came soon.

Seeing the second prince coming, Mu Zitan cried even more fiercely, probably because someone could save his life, so he wept with joy?Anyway, Liu Ruyi couldn't figure out why she was crying even more, and she couldn't persuade her. Liu Ruyi could only pat her on the back and coax her well.

Xiao Moli was not very far away from them, and he followed behind to protect them. Seeing that Liu Ruyi sent someone galloping over, he hurriedly rode over to ask what happened.

They were far away just now, and when they were playing, they were covered by trees, so they didn't see what happened, thinking that Mu Zitan was playing with some small animal again, but they didn't expect such a dangerous thing to happen.

For a while, there was also a pick up, and he rushed over, seeing the second prince hurriedly going there, and the people behind him also followed.

When they saw those tigers, they were all astonished. Simply, the people brought by the second prince were originally to deal with these emergencies, and everyone was carrying heavy weapons.

The bows and arrows used were much heavier than the ones Liu Ruyi used for hunting. At the moment, she didn't need to listen to any instructions, and all shot arrows at the tigers.

The people brought by the second prince, at least a hundred or so, shot arrows together, the tiger couldn't dodge in time, and saw the blood first.

He became more and more fierce, and rushed towards the second prince.

Mu Zitan's nervous hands were shaking, and he couldn't make a sound from crying.

Some of the maids were so frightened that they peed on their pants.

Liu Ruyi gave the man who peed his pants fiercely, thinking in his heart, he would replace the maid in a short time to protect the princess, but she was so scared that she peed her pants first, how could this work?
The second prince nimbly dodges first, quickly draws out his saber, and stabs the tiger in the eye, but misses the first stab, the tiger chases after the second prince, almost bites the second prince's hand, Mu Zitan is nervous He suddenly screamed, but was stunned by the tiger.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyi quickly ordered the maids to scatter in all directions, screaming continuously.

Sure enough, when someone screamed, the tiger would stop for a while. The second prince took advantage of this opportunity, and every time the tiger stopped, he stopped and slashed fiercely with his sword. Gradually, the tiger's fur was covered with blood.

It took an unknown number of swords before the tiger fell down.

A long sigh of relief.

It was only then that I noticed that I had been looking at the second prince just now and forgot about the other tigers, and when I looked back, someone actually took care of those tigers.

Mu Zitan looked at the dead tiger, thought of what happened just now, and started crying again.

Liu Ruyi hurriedly comforted her, "Aren't you all right now? I was just a little frightened." Xiao Moli coaxed her for a long time before finally laughing through tears.

However, seeing this kind of scene for the first time, it is normal for the little girl to cry in fright.

When encountering this kind of thing, you don't need to hunt anymore, and you don't have the mood to play. It's a serious matter to go back and report to the emperor.

As soon as the little princess saw the emperor, she rushed over and threw herself into the emperor's arms, and burst into tears in the emperor's arms. The emperor quickly patted her on the back and coaxed her: "Don't cry, don't cry, father is in charge of you, what the hell is going on?" Is it? You said it, good boy."

Saying that, he looked up at Miss Er, "What's going on?"

The emperor originally thought that someone like Bizhu would bully the little princess.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi frightened him with a single mouth, "Your Majesty, when I was playing with Zitan on the hunting ground, a tiger suddenly jumped out, followed by four half-sized tiger cubs, the four cubs were of different sizes. , It looks a bit like it came out of a circus, the tiger is very big and strong..." After describing the scene in detail, the empress was so afraid that her back broke out in sweat.

"I took a closer look. There is a gap beside the hunting ground. It is probably from there that the tiger was released. Who did it? I think the emperor probably knows it. Moreover, I remembered that when the emperor coaxed Zitan, he said I went hunting with Zitan in the afternoon." After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she took Mu Zitan back from the emperor's arms.

At the same time, he ordered the maid to make soothing soup for Mu Zitan, and when he brought Mu Zitan back, he put him to sleep. This hunt probably couldn't go on.

Liu Ruyi greeted the maid and packed her luggage so as not to be in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, something happened on the second day of hunting.

I don't know if the Queen Mother did it.

This kills two birds with one stone, no matter who is killed, it is even better if it is the emperor, if it is the little princess, that is also good, it will make the emperor sad for a long time.

The second prince is also fine, if a competitor dies, Liu Ruyi is fine too, if there is one less person to protect the little princess, the little princess is even more dangerous.

If no one was killed and the tiger was the one who died, that's fine. Sooner or later, the second prince will be punished and accused of being unfavorable in handling affairs.

Really good calculation.

In the evening, Mu Zitan finally woke up.

In the evening, as usual, there is a bonfire party, and we get together to eat barbecue.

Liu Ruyi took a closer look, the emperor and the second prince were quiet, only Mu Zitan's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Not long after it started, the emperor suddenly called the prince to the front, saying that he was going to announce an important event. Liu Ruyi looked at the queen beside her. The queen felt a little nervous, and she clasped her hands tightly, turning pale.

I don't know what the emperor is going to do.

The emperor suddenly announced: "The crown prince is not young anymore, and he is waiting to be selected as a concubine. The one who made a lot of noise before was the selection of concubine, but in the end it was all because I wanted to carefully consider it. After all, it is the crown prince, so marriage should be taken seriously." Some, now, I want to make his cousin Dingguo princess as the princess, and the rest, Wei Ziruo, the daughter of Wei Guanlan, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, will be the side concubine, and Li Jiaojiao, the daughter of Li Chaji, the censor, will be the side concubine. Ok, deal."

After the emperor finished speaking, he was obviously a little excited when he saw the queen and the prince.

Liu Ruyi sneered in her heart and didn't expose it.

In the future, I will know for myself, there are her hands and feet in this list.

Because of what happened at noon, the emperor couldn't wait to make an engagement for the prince, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

As for choosing a marriage that looks good on the surface but is not very good on the inside, it will slow down the marriage, so that the queen mother and her group can calm down temporarily.

Among the women who came to the hunting ground, Liu Ruyi was the only girl who could be trusted. Although the emperor felt very embarrassed, he still gave Liu Ruyi the list he had prepared long ago.

Dingguo princess needless to say.

However, the remaining two side concubines will make the crown prince and the queen feel that they are generals, and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy will be the elders of Wenchen Pavilion, and the doctor Yushi just took over all the useful official positions, which is naturally beautiful. The emperor compromised.
