Chapter 666

"From the general's point of view, does this horse look like poisoning..." emperor Zhaozhen checked the condition of the horse and said to the king of Dongyang in a low voice.

The king of Dongyang nodded imperceptibly.

Although the horse was lying on the cart, it did not faint. It seemed paralyzed and difficult to move.

At this time, Emperor Zhaozhen found the steel needle almost completely submerged in the horse's abdomen.

Xie Wukang quickly raised his father's hand, quietly pulled out the steel needle, and explained in a low voice: "this needle was stabbed by Zhaozhao, so the horse gradually fell into paralysis, and the son minister was able to subdue it."

Only three people could hear it.

The king of Dongyang had a resolution in his heart.

Therefore, this strange paralysis is what Zhaozhao did after startling the horse, not the real reason for startling the horse

The old man stepped forward again, stretched out his hands to check Malaysia's half closed eyes, shook his head slightly: "it's not like being frightened by foreign objects..."

There is often a hint in the eyes of frightened and crazy horses.

Several martial ministers gathered around.

King Jing also came forward. King Jing's son followed him closely, looking attentive and enthusiastic, and guessed: "Your Majesty, Lord... As far as provincial Chang knows, some horses often show a manic state if they have poor defecation!"

Thank you for taking an extra look at the cousin.

My cousin looks very unreliable, but he dabbles in a lot.

Although this statement is unpopular, it is not groundless.

During the war between the two armies of the former dynasty, there was a precedent of sneaking into the enemy's stables and putting medicine in the other party's war horse fodder, so that the dung of those war horses was blocked and unable to fight.

Unlike other poisons, this drug is actually non-toxic, so it is difficult for horse keepers to detect the difference.

If this horse is really being tampered with

Xie Wukang's words didn't fall in my mind. Suddenly I heard a strange noise, followed by a pungent smell.

“……”

Watching the horse on the cart suddenly pull out a lot of hot horse dung, Jing Shizi yanked out of the corner of his eye.

It deserves to be the horse of Dongyang palace. Can you understand people or what? Why did you respond?

Seeing everyone staring at the pile of horse dung, Jing Shizi smiled and said, "it seems that at least we can rule out this possibility..."

"Dao." the arrest guard at the side of Dongyang Dynasty stretched out his hand.

Jing Shizi's brain was buzzing.

He... He's not a gag!

Rao Shi's father often said that he looked like a poor man, but he didn't offend General Xu!

Looking at the old man pulling out the long knife, Jing Shizi was about to hide behind his father when he saw the old man holding the knife and picking at the pile of horse dung.

With such a challenge, the faint sour smell spread out a lot.

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

Horse dung is sparse, and the forage eaten is not fully digested

The experienced general changed his face: "it's like a sheep wandering...!"

Sheep loitering, also known as sheep loitering kick, is named because sheep, cattle and other livestock will be manic and restless after eating by mistake——

"Yes, it is." emperor Zhaozhen's look was cold.

"Sheep loitering is mostly produced in Suzhou. Now it's late autumn. It's impossible to have it in the mountains." Xie Wukang's tone is firm and cold: "therefore, it can't be eaten by horses, but someone deliberately."

The ministers who came around one after another changed their faces when they heard the speech.

In other words... Someone deliberately tampered with Miss Xu's horse?!

It's a common thing to notice that people's lives are caused by startling horses!

What's more, it's another daughter's house right away

For a time, most of the ministers were palpitating.

This little girl is not only the heart of the king of Dongyang, but also the future crown princess. If there is anything wrong here today

At present, less than the king of Dongyang spoke, Emperor Zhaozhen already surong said, "don't worry, general, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and will give you and Miss Xu an explanation."

Then he called the new commander of the arrest guard to explain the matter.

The commander of the arrest guard took the order and immediately arranged people to go everywhere.

The top priority is to control the inside and outside of Quanhe palace and not let go of any suspicious people and things.

Xie Wukang also said: "this is not a trivial matter. A little carelessness can be enough to endanger life. If we find out who did it, we should punish it as the crime of murder, which is impossible to tolerate."

This statement, which was proved by the ministers, doomed that no matter who was found later, he could not escape being severely punished.

"Yes, I believe your majesty will deal with it impartially." the king of Dongyang was calm, but his eyes seemed to have a silent examination.

Facing this sharp sight, several ministers who had previously opposed Xu Mingyi's hunting turned pale.

Look what they do!

They don't approve of women taking part in hunting. Yes, but they don't want to attack a little girl for that, do they?

Not to mention that such methods are too mean and vicious, just a little - do they dare?

If they really feel that they can be hanged in the river and cut themselves off when they grow up, why bother so much!

Dongyang King's thoughts are far more than this.

Zhaozhao's participation in hunting has not really revealed the so-called conflict of interest in the court at this time. How can it not cause disaster.

And this may not be for Zhaozhao himself

Or because of the imperial edict of being accused of marrying the crown princess, or against him and the Xu family

The interests involved are far more complex than they seem. He should be more on guard!

What Xu Qiwei hated most in his life was that the battle between the battlefield and officialdom involved his family members. It was really the work of a waste villain!

If the man who laid hands on Zhaozhao is found out this time, he must dig deep to the end. No one involved can be picked out cleanly!

The old man's suspects are mostly above the interests of the court, while Xie Wukang thinks more.

The young man looked in one direction from a distance.

The waves spread gradually as boulders were thrown into the lake.

Miss Xu's horse was secretly poisoned - this thunder quickly spread to everyone's ears.

All the women's families were shocked, shocked and talked constantly.

"How could such a thing happen!"

"Who is so bold..."

"Bang!" Princess Yufeng put down her wine glass with a calm face: "I want to see who is so desperate!"

Cui didn't care much. He left the table to find Xu Ming. When he went to find Xu Ming, he had to ask what happened before and after.

Both the arrest guard and the forbidden army have been dispatched. Wearing a knife around the waist when walking makes a frightening noise.

The green maid standing on one side's heart beat faster and faster - from the occurrence of the accident, to the detection of sheep hesitation, to the emperor's order for strict investigation, to the current situation being controlled, everything came very fast, and the formation was so large that the speed of the situation was clear and the degree of attention was far beyond the initial expectation!

If it goes on like this, it's not true. Come on?

The maid couldn't help looking in the direction of the mountain forest.

Since the horse poisoning has been found, why did your majesty not stop hunting and recall the people in the mountain?

The maid was eager for the master to come out early so that she could respond early. She wondered why hunting was still allowed to continue, but most officials had an answer to this——

This is no small matter, but fortunately, Miss Xu didn't make a big difference, so the situation won't fall into chaos——

Another is that before the truth is known, everyone is suspected. Under such circumstances, temporarily controlling people within the scope of sight is the most difficult situation to hinder progress.

Don't forget that people everywhere in the palace will soon be controlled by the wanted guard.

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

Only Jiang Taifu is different——

I can't help it. I'm old and frustrated. I can't compare with these young people.

With the help of an internal supervisor, Jiang Taifu, who also tried to do this for a long time, went to the toilet tremblingly.

When the atmosphere was tense, the drum at the end of the hunt finally sounded.

Stepping on the sound of drums, someone soon came out of the mountain forest.

Some horses carry prey of all sizes on both sides of their backs. They are somewhat satisfied. Naturally, some people return empty handed.

A few dandies who had no harvest came out together. They picked some wild fruits from nowhere, ate the fruits, talked and laughed, and didn't care about the death gaze from their elders.

Didn't you hit the prey? Even your majesty said in advance that the focus is on participation!

The young children did not know what had happened outside when they entered the mountain, and naturally did not know the real reason why they attracted the glare of their elders. After getting off the horse, they still talked and laughed and teased each other.

Emperor Zhaozhen did not make a sound to stop scolding, but asked the eunuch in charge to count the prey as usual.

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

She brought back some small prey.

The girl got off the horse and threw the reins to the internal prison. She was not happy - she was unlucky today. All she met were frightened prey. When she heard a movement, she ran fast and didn't give her a chance to shoot an arrow at all.

But compared with those who return empty handed, it is enough.

After all, she didn't want to compare with those men and military officers. She just wanted to win Xu Mingyi from beginning to end.

Thinking of this, Princess Yongjia's eyes swept around.

At a glance, she saw the imperial doctor who withdrew from one side of the account.

Princess Yongjia raised her eyebrows slightly.

However, the next moment, the face of the person who came out of the account changed.

Brother?

How did brother get hurt?

Looking at the young man with the wound cloth wrapped around her hand, Princess Yongjia's eyes changed a few times. For a moment, she didn't understand what happened.

She subconsciously looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the king of Dongyang. She saw the old man sitting in his place. She was always angry and couldn't see the truth on his face.

At this time, a boy's voice sounded: "Grandpa, sister is back!"

Dongyang Wang suddenly got up and immediately looked at the entrance of the mountain forest. He saw a man riding in his sight.

The girl in black on the horse was in a correct shape. She grabbed the reins with one hand and drove the horse back slowly. She turned her head and showed a smiling face in his direction.

The old man's heart was relaxed, but his voice suddenly choked, and his eyes were astringent.

Many people were surprised to see that Xu Mingyi got off the horse and returned home with a full load - just now I saw the startled horse, but I didn't see the Xu family girl herself. Although some people said that she was still hunting in the mountains, most people subconsciously thought that a little girl was frightened and most of her injuries were the same as those of the crown prince, but they didn't know how serious the injuries were, I think I was taken back to the palace

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

And looking at it now, it really looks like it fell.

The surprise of the people reached its peak when the internal supervisor counted the prey and announced that it was the Xu girl who hunted the most today.

The previous several claimed that women's participation in hunting would only make the autumn hunting trip lose dignity, and even the facial expression of the nondescript Wen Chen was too wonderful for a time.

At this time, a military attache beside Xu Mingyi stood up.

If there is no clear intention today, the first is his.

The man arched his hands at the girl and said with a smile: "just now, in the mountain, Miss Xu and I took aim at a deer at the same time. It was Miss Xu who took the bow first and didn't disturb the prey before Fang hunted the deer - although Miss Xu is young, she excels in more than riding and shooting skills. Today's first hunt, Fang was convinced!"

Xu Mingyi also raised his hand in return: "general Chengfang gives way."

She just chose to give in, but in fact she had some "Calculations".

This general Fang is the old headquarters of King Yan. He is a brave and resourceful man. He can be regarded as her elder. A deer is nothing. If he makes a good impression on the other party and calms the people's hearts, it will undoubtedly be very cost-effective.

And it doesn't conflict with her desire to win——

Such people have their own dignity principle and will not really accept being conceded by a younger generation - he can't and really didn't bring back the deer as his prey.

Under the attention of all around, Emperor Zhaozhen personally handed the short knife to the girl.

"Thank you, your majesty."

"Miss Xu is so awesome!" a little girl stood up and shouted excitedly.

Xu Mingyi turned to look at the sound.

Not far or near, the women's families only felt as if they were looking at each other with those dark eyes——

The girl in the black robe was snow-white, and her hair was tied neatly when she went. At this time, it was a little messy, with a few strands scattered, with grass scraps on it, and even small scars on her face——

How to look at it is a little embarrassed.

But now she smiled in their direction, raised her jaw slightly, and waved the short knife in her hand at them.

The jewels embedded in 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 ladies and young ladies, silent but burning.

Seeing this scene, Princess Yufeng suddenly blurred in front of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with a sigh with a smile.

She finally understood why the girl had to join the fun and why she had to continue with her injury

Xu Zhaozhao wants to win.

Win to all the women.

Princess Yongjia's back teeth are about to break.

When it was getting late, when she returned to the palace, she raised her hand and slapped her on the face of the close Maid: "fool! What to do!"

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

"The maidservants did what the princess told them to do, but who knows..."

She repeated what happened outside the mountains today.

Princess Yongjia's look changed and changed.

Brother found something strange and chased into the forest?

Father emperor, Dongyang king and others found out on the spot that the horse was poisoned by sheep wandering, and they had ordered a thorough investigation at that time?!

Why is Xu Mingyi so lucky!

When Princess Yongjia was unwilling, there was a trace of panic in her heart that she didn't want to admit: "... Have everything been handled yet!"
