Early in the morning, the emperor was also going to participate in hunting. At least he had to shoot the prey in the shallow forest area to give a demonstration.
But as soon as the emperor got on his horse, he couldn't stop his mood and rode towards the deep forest area.
The people who followed looked at this situation and quickly followed.
Concubine Xuan and Concubine Yi can both ride horses, so they naturally followed them in.
Huarong pretended to be a guard and followed the two concubines, looking for opportunities to strike.
The other concubines did not follow, but walked around the residence.
Jin Xin stood by the pool and looked at the clear stream. There was a big difference between morning and evening, and the edge of the pool was even colder.
Jin Xin saw that Hua Rong, who was following Fang Concubine, had disappeared. She immediately understood that Hua Rong must have gone to do something more important.
Huarong was specially trained by the Liu family. She followed Fang concubine almost every step of the way. Wherever Fang concubine went, Huarong followed her. Now that Huarong is gone, it seems that something big is about to happen.
It was not in vain that she provoked Concubine Fang and Concubine Yi to go against each other, completely eliminating the possibility of their cooperation. The rise of either of them would be a threat to the other, and they would naturally try their best to deal with the other.
Concubine Lan walked next to Jin Xin, with a mountain flower on her head, and asked with a smile, "Empress, do you look good to me?"
Concubine Lan is really the most sober and quiet among these women. She is doting but not exclusive. She has both status and affection. She gets along with others and has just the right size.
He is smart and it is really comfortable to get along with such a person.
Jin Xin stepped forward and straightened the flowers for her. They were fragrant and elegant, and matched her perfectly.
"It's very beautiful." Jin Xin smiled.
When Concubine Lan heard this, her eyebrows curved, then she looked at Concubine Fang, who was pacing over there, and smiled, "Concubine Fang has been left out in the cold, so I think she wants to reconcile with the empress."
Jin Xin followed Concubine Lan's gaze and when Concubine Fang saw this, she lowered her head and waited for Jin Xin to summon her.
"A few days ago, she came to my palace and said some intimate words, saying that she was deceived. But if I had not survived at that time, the third princess would not have been born. People have bad nature. If you do it once, you will be gone. It won't stop at the first time." Jin Xin said lightly, expressing her attitude in an understatement.
Concubine Lan understood what she meant and followed her words, "I and your Majesty will always be together, I can rest assured about this."
Hearing this, Jin Xin looked at Concubine Lan with relief and held Concubine Lan's hand, "Of course I believe in you."
Concubine Fang had been to Concubine Lan before, and even took out a large amount of money and rare treasures to cooperate with Concubine Lan, but Concubine Lan refused.
The glory of the Liu family will not last for a few more years. The Liu family's business has been carried out in the palace, almost monopolizing the business in the capital. This is not what the emperor wants to see.
What he wants is for a hundred flowers to bloom, check and balance each other, always create benefits, and be easy to control.
Seeing that Jin Xin didn't convey her intention, Fangbi was a little disappointed, but she couldn't bear to step forward so rashly.
Jinxin and Lanfei went to the racecourse. Jinxin couldn't ride a horse, but Lanfei could, so Lanfei planned to teach her.
Compared to the tranquility here, something unexpected happened in the hunting area at this time.
The emperor was chasing the prey. In a moment of anxiety, he rushed into the deep forest area. No one behind him could follow. Concubine Xuan quickly followed her on her horse. When she caught up, she successfully shot a deer.
Concubine Xuan exclaimed, "Your Majesty is so powerful!"
Then she happily dismounted and went to pick it up.
But when he got up, he saw a pair of sharp and wild eyes in the jungle.
"Don't move!" The emperor saw it and stopped Concubine Xuan's movements, telling her not to anger the wolf.
Concubine Xuan was so panicked that she didn't dare to move at all.
The emperor immediately drew his bow and prepared to shoot the wolf, but the wolf was extremely keen and sensed the killing intent. It quickly jumped up and pounced on the emperor.
Concubine Xuan exclaimed in fright.
Almost at the same time, the emperor fired an arrow and hit the wolf in the neck. It fell to the ground and did not lose its mobility immediately. Instead, it changed its target and pounced on Concubine Xuan who stayed where she was.
After Concubine Xuan was knocked down, she could have used her hands to protect her head and face, but the wolf bit her arm and dragged her forward.
The emperor continued to draw his bow, and shot an arrow at the wolf's head, hitting the head. The wolf also fell down, twitching, and was unable to move anymore.
The emperor immediately jumped off the horse and stepped forward to check on Concubine Xuan. Concubine Xuan's hand was bitten. Although she was wearing protective gear, the sharp teeth still bit through the flesh of her forearm, causing her great pain.
The wolf was still whimpering, and its belly was very big. It looked like it was pregnant. It must have crossed the iron fence and wanted to come to the hunting area to give birth. It happened that the emperor was chasing the prey here.
At this time, the guards behind him came here. The emperor supported Concubine Xuan and asked, "Concubine Xuan, how are you?"
She hurt her hand, why was she holding her stomach?
Concubine Xuan didn't know what was going on. She had a severe stomachache. Her face instantly turned pale, and her forehead was covered with sweat. She grabbed the emperor and sobbed in pain, "Your Majesty, I am in pain..."
The emperor could not care about the prey, so he immediately picked up Concubine Xuan and walked out. Not long after getting on the horse, Concubine Xuan fainted from pain.
The emperor then discovered that Concubine Xuan's pants were full of blood, running down between her legs. The emperor was shocked and thought of a possibility.
"Xuan Yuyi!" the emperor shouted.
Later, Concubine Xuan was taken back, but the whole process was unknown.
But no one paid attention to Yi Bin, who was pushed to the edge of the cliff by Huarong.
Just now, the emperor was anxious to catch up with his prey. Concubine Xuan grew up in a family with generals. Her riding skills were very good. Many men were no match for her, so she naturally followed the emperor's footsteps. However, concubine Yi only learned some superficial kung fu and was unable to do so. The horse galloped at top speed and was thrown off.
The guard behind her attacked her and wanted to kill her. Yi Bi hid in the jungle, but was still being chased, but now she was forced here.
Yi Bin looked at the person in front of her. She was petite and not a man at all, so she guessed that she was a woman.
"Who sent you? Concubine De Gui or Concubine Fang!" Concubine Yi stepped back as she walked, looking at the cliff. If she fell, she would be shattered to pieces.
Huarong snorted coldly, said nothing, and stepped forward with the dagger.
She would either die from falling off a cliff or dying from a dagger. It would definitely take her life today.
Yi Bi gritted her teeth and continued to retreat to see if there was any chance of survival.
How can Hua Rong give her time? Time waits for no one. If she waits too long, the guards will come to find her. If this doesn't happen, there will be constant trouble in the future.
Thinking like this, Huarong jumped forward. Yibi was not willing to jump like this, so she wanted to fight with Huarong for life. During the fight, she pulled off Huarong's mask and saw Huarong's face clearly.
At this time, a voice calling for concubine came from the other side of the woods.
The guards came for him.
Yi Bin was about to call for help, but Hua Rong pushed her into the cliff.
The call gradually came closer, Huarong quickly put on the mask and fled the scene.
But Hua Rong didn't expect that Yi Bi's earrings fell to the ground, and the messy footprints showed what had just happened.
