Empress

Rong Cheng's breath was stuck in his chest, almost smelling like blood.

Wen Yan leaned on his chest and sat up, nervously said: "Your Majesty, the dragon trick didn't do it on purpose."

As soon as these words came out, it was no accident that he sat down even more firmly. Rong Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yan with ice-cold eyes.

Wen Yan in front of him shrank his shoulders, showing a pale face of fear.

Before he could open his mouth, he slapped heavily on the face.

Guan Hongfeng became even more angry, and said viciously, "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

This slap was too heavy, Rong Cheng's cheeks were burning hot, and his ears were buzzing.

Guan Hongfeng wanted to make another move, when King Shaonan's voice suddenly came from beside him: "Why is Brother Huang so angry?"

He turned his head with red eyes, and saw King Shaonan walking in this direction leading his horse, so he stopped the movement of his feet.

When King Shaonan saw the black horse lying in a pool of blood, he seemed surprised and asked, "Why did the emperor's favorite horse die?"

"I killed it." Guan Hongfeng said coldly: "It's useless to keep a disobedient beast."

The King of Shaonan said regretfully: "It's a pity that such a good horse has been trained for a long time to become docile and obedient, and now it has died."

If the horse is gone, you can train again. Guan Hongfeng has no regrets at all, and doesn't care whether King Shaonan really loves it or is just pretending. He said lightly: "I still have a jade lion. If you win me today, I will reward it to you .”

King Shaonan smiled, "Then my brother must work harder."

Guan Hongfeng looked at Rongcheng at his feet, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he kicked his shoulder twice, "Go to the side, don't be ashamed here."

After Guan Hongfeng left, Rong Cheng got up from the grass panting, his supporting arms trembling, his back was facing King Shaonan, and all the blood-stained and broken clothes came into view.

King Shaonan raised his eyebrows, pretending he didn't see it, he stroked the horse beside him, feeling sorry for the short-lived BMW under his feet.

Rong Cheng took a few breaths, raised his head, and saw Guan Hongfeng in the gazebo checking Wen Yan's wound. He held his aching stomach and stood up precariously.

The place where he had just lay was covered in blood.

In the gazebo, Wen Yan grabbed Guan Hongfeng's hand and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon trick must have been careless, so don't get angry with him."

Guan Hongfeng snorted coldly, "You are kind, but it's a pity that he doesn't accept your favor."

In the past in the palace, he came to Xing Rongcheng alone, even though this lowly musician didn't know how high he was, he dared to attack Wen Yan in front of him, and he didn't know what he would do behind his back.

Wen Yan shook Guan Hongfeng's arm, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, lest you get angry."

Seeing Wen Yan's obedient and sensible look, Guan Hongfeng calmed down a lot. He said, "Since you are injured, don't go hunting with me, stay here and rest."

Gently grabbing Guan Hongfeng's robe, "But Your Majesty, I want to go with you."

Guan Hongfeng rubbed his head, "Hey, if you follow, what will happen?"

Wen Yan lowered his head, looking a little disappointed, reluctantly let go, and said aggrievedly: "Then the emperor be careful."

Guan Hongfeng hummed, got up and left the gazebo, walked down the stone steps, glanced coldly at Rong Cheng who was standing beside him, snorted out his nose, got on his horse, and went deep into the forest with King Shaonan.

Outside the gazebo, Rong Cheng was sweating like rain, and the sun was not hot, but he was sweating all over, and the wound on his back was soaked in sweat and painful.

Rong Cheng pinched his arm hard, barely standing still, and suddenly there was a gentle sneer from behind, "The dragon trick is really fateful, this will save you from disaster."

Rong Cheng turned his head and showed an honest smile, "I also feel it's a pity."

This smile was provocative in Wen Yan's eyes, he sneered, took a sip of tea from his cup, his mouth was full of fragrance, thinking that you won't be able to be proud for long.

After a long time, Guan Hongfeng and King Shaonan did not return, and birds flew out of the forest from time to time.

Wen Yan ate a piece of pastry, drank another cup of tea, turned around, and suddenly said to Eunuch Yang behind him, "Please trouble Eunuch to take me there for convenience."

Eunuch Yang naturally couldn't refuse, and led Wen Yan to the distant forest where no one was around.

Not long after they left, a palace official came over and said to Rong Cheng: "Long Ji, the emperor asked you to go hunting with him in the woods."

Rong Cheng looked at the person in front of him with a bit of embarrassment, he had never seen him before, he said doubtfully, "I don't seem to have seen you before."

The palace man lowered his head and said: "I used to be a member of Concubine Tang's palace, but recently I went to work under Eunuch Yang's errand, it's normal that Long Ji has never seen me."

Rong Cheng had doubts in his heart, and wanted to ask Eunuch Yang if he knew this person, but when he turned around, he found that Eunuch Yang and Wen Yan in the pavilion had disappeared.

At this time, the palace servants next to him were urging: "Long Ji, hurry up, or you will offend the Emperor."

Rong Cheng didn't want to go at first, but when he thought of Guan Hongfeng's crazy appearance, he might suffer a lot. He didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded: "Eunuch, lead the way."

So he left with the palace people.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the woods are quiet, and the sound of the soles of shoes stepping on the dead leaves can be heard.

The palace man walked in front, and Rong Cheng followed behind, he walked slowly, always felt like he had walked for a long time and hadn't reached the place yet.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the racecourse, and he was about to lose sight, Rong Cheng asked, "This father-in-law, hasn't he arrived yet?"

The palace man said without looking back: "Don't worry about the dragon trick, it's just ahead."

Rong Cheng looked around, and saw that the forest was lush and overgrown with weeds, and it was gloomy and cool.

Last year, he accompanied Guan Hongfeng to the paddock to hunt, and it seemed that he had never been to this place.

Moreover, if it is a hunting place, there will definitely be traces of horseshoes, but it looks like no one has ever stepped here.

The pace under his feet became slower and slower, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Rong Cheng's heart, which made his limbs stiff.

"Long Ji, why don't you leave?" The urging voice of the palace man sounded from the front, and the voice was a bit gloomy.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, Rong Cheng suddenly looked back, the surroundings were very quiet, and nothing could be seen.

Just when he turned his head, he saw a fierce look on the palace man's face, and he rushed towards him with a sharp knife in his hand, "Go to hell!"

Rong Cheng's face changed, and he hurriedly dodged to the side. The knife in the palace man's hand was thrown into the air, and with a twist of his wrist, he swiped in a different direction.

He quickly hid in the tree trunk behind him, and the flying knife went straight into the tree trunk and got stuck inside.

Taking advantage of this moment, Rong Cheng ran away, stumbling forward with his hands on the tree trunk.

The palace man followed closely behind, swinging a knife from time to time.

Rong Cheng had a wound on his back, so he couldn't run very fast. He was almost overtaken a few times, and a few strands of hair were cut off during the escape, and fell into the soil like fallen leaves.

He lost his way in a panic and couldn't find the way back to the racecourse, so he could only run forward in confusion, trying to escape from the huge forest.

Behind him, the palace man was still chasing him, with great determination not to give up.

Rong Cheng ran staggeringly, the knife thrown from behind flew past his waist, and landed on the ground, he didn't dare to stop, he walked into the path beside him in embarrassment, and finally got rid of the palace man .

Before Rong Cheng could heave a sigh of relief, an arrow struck from the dark and shot into his arm, he staggered forward in pain, his foot sprained, he lost his center of gravity, and rolled into the side landslide .

His vision was turned upside down, the sound of the wind mixed with the sound of weeds passing past his ears, Rongcheng rolled down to the bottom of the slope, his head hit the stone hard, his eyes went dark, and he passed out completely.

On the other side of the forest, Guan Hongfeng rode his horse leisurely, looking around.

There was a rustling movement in the weeds, Guan Hongfeng drew his bow fully, squinted his eyes to aim, released the arrow in his hand, and hit the prey accurately.

Seeing the rabbit corpse held in front of him by the palace man, he clicked his tongue, very dissatisfied.

King Shaonan, who was riding a horse beside him, said: "Brother Huang, if you compare the number of prey, you will definitely win today."

Guan Hongfeng waved his hand, let the palace man take away the prey, and said casually: "What's the point of playing these things, it's dull and boring."

King Shaonan smiled, observed the surrounding environment, intentionally or unintentionally said: "By the way, I just saw that Long Ji's back was full of blood, I'm afraid the injury is not clear, so please hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to take a look." .”

When Guan Hongfeng heard the words, he tightened the reins, stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Are you hurt?"

King Shaonan casually smiled, "That's right, didn't Brother Huang find out?"

Guan Hongfeng frowned. He was only focused on checking Wen Yan's injuries just now, and didn't pay attention to whether Rongcheng was injured. What's more, the man didn't say anything.

Guan Hongfeng didn't change his face, he patted his horse's butt, and said coldly: "This little thing can't be done well, he deserves to be injured."

While speaking, there was movement in the bushes in front of him, and a strand of gray-brown hair passed through. It was the red fox they had been looking for for a long time.

The King of Shaonan first drew his bow fully, aimed the arrow at the red fox squatting in the bushes, let go, and the arrow shot out quickly.

When Guan Hongfeng reacted, the red fox had died under the arrow of King Shaonan.

The palace man ran over to push aside the bushes, brought the red fox body over, and displayed it in front of the two of them.

King Shaonan said with a smile, "Brother Emperor, I will take the jade lion away today."

Guan Hongfeng's displeasure was hidden in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "I keep my word, so naturally I won't break my word."

But he complained about Rong Cheng in his heart, if he hadn't mentioned the injury of Long Ji, why would he be overtaken by King Shaonan.

Let's see how he cleans up the dragon tricks when he goes back.

Guan Hongfeng put down his bow and said with little interest: "Let's stop here today, I'm tired."

King Shaonan got the benefit, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and followed Guan Hongfeng back.

In the gazebo, Wen Yan was sitting drinking tea, Eunuch Yang stood behind him, but Rong Cheng was nowhere to be seen.

Guan Hongfeng frowned, "Where's the dragon trick?"

Wen Yan said blankly: "I heard from the guard that just now a palace man told you that he wanted Long Ji to go into the woods to accompany you, so he went."

Guan Hongfeng said in a deep voice, "When did I let him into the forest?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and everyone realized that something was wrong.

The atmosphere was heavy and weird for a while.

Eunuch Yang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is it possible that Long Ji has escaped again?"
