Hearing this, Gong Ye felt that the eunuch's question was unnecessary, but because the person beside him was one of the people he trusted the most, he could only patiently reply.

"They are all pillars of the country in the future. If they can't even handle a small fight like this or can't face it, what kind of outstanding person would they talk about?"

Hearing this, the eunuch was silent for a moment, as if he had already understood the Emperor's actions. Thus, he just stood there silently, accompanying the Emperor to watch the performance below.

That's right, to them, wasn't this just a luxurious show with a bit of excitement?

However …

It was at this time that the unforeseen event happened. Ninth Prince and Qian Li, who had just escaped from the emperor's pursuit, got into trouble once again.

"Your majesty, those people don't seem to be our people."

Hearing this. Gong Ye shifted his gaze from Second Prince. Second Prince's martial arts were powerful, those black-clothed men were nothing in front of him, in a few moves they were all gone.

Even though he had not seen enough, he was still obstructed. His expression was somewhat unhappy, but after hearing the eunuch's words, he quickly shifted his gaze.

He looked at the sleeves of those people and saw a different symbol.

"You're right. Those people are vicious. One can tell that they want to kill them with a single glance. The people that I have sent are just trying to scare them. These …"

"The royal hunting grounds have always been very strict. Knowing that the emperor is coming personally, the imperial guards didn't dare to be the slightest bit tired. How could there be people other than us who would come in?"

The eunuch truly could not understand. Seeing that the emperor was frowning, Liu Xi could only continue to ask, "Then your majesty the emperor, we …"

"Send some reinforcements. From the looks of it, they are all in danger."

The forest was instantly thrown into chaos. Seeing that there were already people who had fallen, the Emperor became somewhat anxious.

After Liu Xi left, he stared at the location in the forest without shifting his gaze.

And just at this moment, Qian Li was actually injured, and even helped Gong Ming block the fatal blade.

He clutched his chest, wondering why the pain was happening.

Taking a step forward, he couldn't resist the urge to go in person to save them. However, due to this unforeseen event, his legs softened and he kneeled on the floor.

It was also because of this interlude that Gong Ye calmed down.

He frowned, he could not understand why he would have such a reaction. When he saw that Qian Li was injured, he actually felt an unprecedented sense of worry.

This feeling, it was as if …

He had experienced the same thing before.

Gong Ye closed his eyes. Yes, he had truly experienced it.

That was already many years ago, and at that time, he had still liked Murong Yan a lot. In one of the wars, he had watched Murong Yan block that fatal attack for him without moving her eyes away.

And at that time, Imperial Physician had even said that because of that injury, to a large extent, injuring the abdomen, Murong Yan might not have a child in her entire life.

And himself, what was his mood at that time?

Are you sad?

He vaguely remembered that time when he tightly hugged Murong Yan and even swore that he would never disappoint her in this life. That he would only love Murong Yan like that in this life.

But then what?

Later on, he fell in love with other women, and also fell in love with a lot more.

Where's Murong Yan?

What did she feel?

From indignation, sadness, reprimand, disappointment, to indifference in the end, her only wish was to treat the child in her womb well.

But what about their children?

Wasn't it still him … He had personally killed him.

Gong Ye suddenly gasped, he felt his vision becoming blurry, he raised his hand, looking at his own palm, it was filled with blood.

He shivered and shook, feeling how terrible everything was.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

A gentle voice rang beside his ears as Gong Ye blinked. Then he looked at the people around him.

A familiar face appeared beside him just like that. At this moment, the person beside him was not Murong Yan, but her most beloved imperial concubine, An Rou.

The moment he saw her, he felt as if his heart gradually calmed down as well. He turned around and fiercely hugged An Rou.

Smelling her familiar smell and touching her swollen belly, his expression gradually relaxed.

An Rou was startled by this sudden action, but she regained her senses a moment later. She smiled.

But she didn't lose control because of it. She reached out and patted Gong Ye's back again and again lightly, "It's okay, it's okay. No matter what happens, this one will definitely accompany the Emperor. "

To An Rou, she did not need to know why the emperor was like this, nor did she need to know what was wrong with him. As long as he still cared about her and the child in her womb, everything was good.

"Yes." Gong Ye nodded his head, only then did he open his eyes with trembling eyes, and looked at his own palm again, only to find that there was nothing above.

He shook his head, and realised that it was still very clean, after exhaling a large breath, he let go of An Rou.

So he was overthinking it.

"Why did you come out? Your body can't be blown by the wind right now." The autumn wind was still cold, Gong Ye personally took off his coat and put it on, after which he ordered An Rou to go back and rest.

Knowing that he had something on his mind, An Rou did not stay any longer. She only told him that she needed to go back and rest as well as that she would prepare dinner and wait for him to eat before obediently leaving.

As for Gong Ye, after watching An Rou leave, he turned to look at the forest, at that moment, Gong Ming was being led by Qian Li, while Qian Li remained at her original location.

Liu Xi had just gone to instruct everyone to support him, and had also just returned to Gong Ye's side. "Your Majesty, we have already instructed the guards to come over from the nearest path to assist him."

Gong Ye nodded, seeing the man walk towards Qian Li with the big blade in his hand, but seeing that she had no reaction while holding onto his wound, she only felt a bit worried.

He raised the distant mirror in his hand. (There were telescopes since the Ming Dynasty. They were called distant mirrors.) Looking far away, with the distance shortening, he could clearly see the fresh blood coming out of Qian Li's finger.

But she kept her head down, and he couldn't see what kind of expression she had.

Was it because Gong Ming had abandoned her in the midst of danger to feel disappointed, or because he felt that there was no longer any life left, that he didn't care?

Was she still as cold as she was when she first met him?

Thinking about that, Gong Ye couldn't help but want to go over and save his, although from the looks of the situation, he was not anxious to be by his side, but he realized that when he saw Qian Li, his heart was in turmoil.

And this feeling was one that he could not suppress no matter how hard he tried.

"Your majesty, it's very dangerous over there right now. Those people … they're all vicious. You can't go over there."

The Emperor still wants to struggle, but Liu Xi has become extremely annoying in his eyes. "

But at this time, he also saw that person approaching Qian Li, as though in the next moment, Qian Li would die without a burial ground.

Gong Ye struggled a little, but did not shake off Liu Xi, "They seem to want to kill Qian Li, we need to know the reason why."

"This old servant will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly later …"

"Liu Xi."

Before he finished speaking, Gong Ye felt a powerful force land on his back.

"Yes." Accompanying the voice, his body was suddenly pushed away. Gong Ye regained his senses, and saw that there were many black clothed people at his side.

And the person who pushed him away, was Liu Xi, he was already injured. The groan he had just made was his,

The large group had already sent out people to protect An Rou and rescue the people in the forest. The rest were all around the camp, when Gong Ye came out, he did not have many people with him.

"Liu Xi, how are you?"

Liu Xi waved his hand, he did not seem to be severely injured, "This old servant is fine, your majesty does not need to worry."

This sudden turn of events had already made Gong Ye completely forget about what he had wanted to do just now. With a cold expression, he placed his hands behind his back and stood there indifferently.

"Who are you people?"

"The person who took your dog life."

With that said, the two people suddenly attacked the Emperor. Gong Ye's martial arts and Liu Xi's were not bad, but because Liu Xi was injured just now in order to protect Gong Ye, in the beginning, they were evenly matched. It had been a while. Liu Xi and the Emperor's disadvantage gradually revealed themselves.

"Liu Xi, retreat."
