The Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 536 Falling short of success

Back to the hunting ground, the prince led this well-equipped and well-trained elite team to the west of the forest. Along the way, in order to make it more realistic, the prince even stopped to bend his bow and shoot arrows and shoot a few prey.

The prince held his breath, and lightly loosened his slender and powerful fingers. The sharp arrow flew out like lightning, accurately hitting the prey's vital points without damaging the skin or fur. It was simply a never-missing shot.

This skillful archery technique made the captain of the guards sent by Fei Yanggu to protect the prince secretly astonished.

He was also Fei Yanggu's confidant, with a high status, and he had also seen the eldest prince's riding and shooting.

The riding and archery skills displayed by the prince at this time were not inferior to those of the eldest prince at all! The eldest prince still won by natural strength, but the skill and accuracy of the prince's skills far exceeded those of the eldest prince.

So...on weekdays everyone thinks that it is because the eldest prince gives in to the crown prince that the crown prince is able to take the lead in many occasions, but is there actually something else going on?

The captain of the guards took note of this matter and prepared to go back and report it to Fei Yanggu.

It was also the first time for the prince to perform so wildly in public, and he was extremely happy.

How great it would be if we didn’t have to be restricted in our actions anymore in the future!

As they continued to go deeper into the forest, a refreshing and pleasant breeze blew slowly over, and everyone's tense nerves involuntarily relaxed a little.

The group hunted as they walked, and finally reached the outskirts of the northwest corner of the forest farm.

The prince rode on a tall horse, his posture straight as a pine tree, holding the strong bow tightly in his hand, observing the movements around him.

The chief guard knew the danger of this operation, so he naturally did not dare to let the prince take risks. He sent people to fan out in all directions to patrol the surroundings. After confirming that there was no ambush outside, the chief guard breathed a sigh of relief. But he did not let his guard down, and then carefully selected a small team of guards to go deep into the forest to explore.

The prince was afraid of alerting the enemy and wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

After half an incense stick of time, the people inside came out. Not only were they all unharmed, but their faces were also filled with excitement and joy. "Your Highness, we have carefully searched deep in the forest and indeed found traces of the white fox! Unfortunately, our skills are not good enough, and the fox is too cunning. We chased it and finally let it escape."

When the prince heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised, a trace of doubt and surprise flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly: "Really, nothing?"

The Fourth Brother went to such great lengths to use Thirteen as bait and spoke so much in front of him, creating such a tense atmosphere. He thought that there must be mysteries hidden in this forest farm and there would be many ambushes. How could there be nothing?

The few people who entered looked at each other and nodded: "It's really nothing special."

Upon hearing this, the prince looked towards the depths of the forest, shook the reins violently, squeezed the horse's belly, kicked his legs hard, and drove straight into the interior of the forest.

A few startled birds flew up from the branches, emitting bursts of sharp cries. As the prince went deeper, the surrounding trees became taller and denser, with layers of branches and leaves intertwined with each other, and the light gradually became dim.

However, the prince led everyone to search carefully, but still did not find any signs of an ambush. He could not help but feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart, thinking to himself: "Am I really too suspicious? This trip is really in vain!"

Helplessly, the prince sighed softly. Although he was unwilling, he knew that it would be useless to stay here any longer, so he planned to turn his horse around and go back.

But just as he was about to turn around, a white shadow flashed past his eyes.

The prince looked closely and found that it was a fox with fur as white as snow!

The prince's eyes lit up instantly, and he thought to himself, "We have come out with such a large force this time, we cannot return empty-handed. If we can capture this white fox for Malu, it will be considered a gain."

Thinking of this, he raised his whip without hesitation, shouted loudly, and led everyone to chase in the direction where the white fox disappeared.

At the same time, in a tent far away, Kangxi was being affectionate with his concubine.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of dizziness and the scene in front of him became blurred. Before he could react, his body fell backwards uncontrollably. The eunuchs and maids around him panicked and gathered around, shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The entire tent was instantly in chaos.

Some people rushed forward in panic to support Kangxi, while others went to call the imperial physician. Concubine Mi was so frightened by this sudden change that she turned pale and burst into tears after she came to her senses.

If something went wrong when the emperor was with her...she couldn't bear the consequences!

While Liang Jiugong was directing the other eunuchs to carefully carry Kangxi onto the couch in an attempt to make the emperor more comfortable, he decisively dispatched his eunuchs to clear the area and at the same time issued strict orders to block the news so that no one would leak it.

Now that the Emperor's safety is uncertain, the impact of this matter must be kept to a minimum.

Not long after, Rong Ji hurried over. As soon as he felt Kangxi's pulse, he knew that this was a hidden danger accumulated in the past few days, and with the concubine's invitation to favor, his body had long been unable to bear the burden.

In addition, the wind blowing while riding a horse today caused the cold air to enter the body, which immediately triggered the latent disease.

The situation was critical and there was no time to lose, so Rong Ji turned around and wrote a prescription. The most urgent task was to make the emperor wake up as soon as possible.

But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a pity that the one serving the emperor here today is the crown prince, and not the fourth prince from Yonghe Palace!

Liang Jiugong freed up his hands and immediately sent someone to the prince's tent to ask the prince to take charge of the situation, but unfortunately he came back empty-handed.

The prince was still in the forest, looking for an ambush.

The other princes were also outside riding and shooting for fun, except the 13th prince Yinxiang who was nearby.

Liang Jiugong thought for a moment and thought: Well, that's all! Now the situation is urgent, and I can't care about so much. Besides, I have already secretly joined the Fourth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince is also from Yonghe Palace. He is of the same blood as the Fourth Prince, and they are close people after all.

Thinking of this, he ran to the Thirteenth Prince without hesitation. Without even bothering to greet him, he reached out and pulled the Thirteenth Prince towards the Emperor's tent.

Now we need someone to take charge. He is just a eunuch and it is not easy for him to interfere in other people's affairs. It would be best to let someone from the Aisin-Gioro family do it!

Thirteen was not afraid and arranged everything in a clear and orderly manner.

Fortunately, Rong Ji's strong medicine was effective. Kangxi woke up slowly, but there was still some confusion and chaos in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not yet fully awakened.

After seeing Thirteen in front of him, Kangxi took a long time to confirm: "Yin...Yinxiang?"
