The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

On the way to Shanglin Garden, Ayan held a pile of medical books with her eyelids twitching.

According to the agreement with His Majesty, she should be by the Queen's side now, but during this period, she had heard some rumors and vaguely pieced together one thing.

His Majesty indeed valued the Queen, more than she thought before.

Ayan is most afraid of this kind of couple. The last time she met such a man, she almost lost her life because she failed to save his wife.

In the next few months, whenever the queen bumped into someone and hurt her body, she would always be the one to take the blame.

If she had known this, she would not have learned medical skills and just followed her master and his wife to eat and wait to die.

Ayan wanted to delay for some time, so she tremblingly made a request to His Majesty, saying that she still needed to study the Queen's previous case.

Unexpectedly, the unkind emperor was unexpectedly easy to talk to and actually agreed.

When the team of tens of thousands of people arrived at Changyang Palace, dusk fell.

Fortunately, Shanglin Garden was closer to Yu Tingwan's residence, so Pei Zhi felt much better at night.

"Your Majesty, King Jiangdu wants to see you."

"Come in."

A young man in riding attire strode in, stood silent for a long time, and stopped talking.

Pei Zhi was a little impatient, "If you don't speak, do you want to plead with King Linzi?"

"No." Pei Jing took a deep breath, "Is Brother Huang really going to go into battle tomorrow and go deep into the hunting grounds?"

"You have to stay with me tomorrow, are you scared?" The man in a black dragon robe lowered his eyes, "I have been to the battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, and there are just some beasts in the hunting ground, so why should I be afraid?"

"Brother Chen... I'm afraid that the emperor's body won't be able to hold on."

Pei Jing's voice was trembling. If it was half a year ago, he would never have said such a thing, but it was different now. No matter how much the imperial doctor assured that the emperor's brother was in good health, he did not believe it.

If there was no illness, why would a screen be used to block the view every night, even if there was an urgent matter to summon the courtiers?

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jing heard a slightly angry chuckle coming from behind the screen.

"It's because there are so many people who think this way that I need to go into battle."

It was taboo to spy on the emperor's health, and Pei Jing knew that he had once again crossed the line.

These days, he often wakes up in the middle of the night, fearing that his eldest brother is sick, and hides it from everyone. After getting up, he starts crying. Ayue doesn't know what he is crying about, so he sings Youzhou songs to comfort him.

After thinking about it, it was after the death of his eldest sister-in-law that his eldest brother changed.

Pei Jing occasionally felt that if he had not forced Xu Mingyue to be stuffed into Changle Palace, maybe the emperor's wife would not be angry or have a heart attack.

So the eldest brother's current situation is also due to him.

"Since the emperor's brother is in good health, it would be better to rest as soon as possible."

Pei Jing remembered that the courtiers had complained that His Majesty was too diligent in his duties and would neither take a break from bathing nor allow others to take a break.

He paused and said cautiously: "If the emperor's sister-in-law was still in the palace, she would definitely advise the emperor's brother to take care of himself."

Pei Zhi laughed in his heart. Yu Tingwan couldn't see him now. He was so happy that he didn't care about his health.

After sending away the crying King of Jiangdu, Pei Zhi looked at the carved bow hanging on the wall and remembered that he had promised Yu Tingwan that he would only walk around Changyang Palace and never go deep into the hunting ground.

*

There was an autumn rain a few days ago, and the heat is gradually dissipating. Standing on the high platform, there is a cool breeze.

Pei Shu sat on the stage, looking not far away with half-squinted eyes, staring at the figure in the front.

Dressed in black armor, that was her royal brother.

On the first day of autumn hunting, it is the emperor's turn to enter the hunting ground and shoot the first arrow.

An arrow flew into the distance like a meteor in the day. The emperor, who was surrounded by a group of generals, did not turn back, but galloped into the depths.

Pei Shu immediately opened her eyes wide and murmured, "I'm crazy."

Like Pei Jing, she didn't believe that her elder brother was okay.

But she was sure that Yu Tingwan was still alive and thought that her eldest brother would at least take care of his body.

Just now on the high platform, Pei Shu saw that the soldiers arrayed in formation were all the elites of the Tiger Army. Pei Shu heard people around him commenting that many ferocious beasts were deliberately released in the autumn hunting paddock this time to test whether the soldiers were slack in training. .

Pei Shu could understand that the emperor's brother went into battle to appease people's hearts, but was such a risk really necessary?

Her eyelids were twitching wildly, and she always had a bad premonition.

Just when she was panicking, Mrs. Fu laughed a few times and sighed: "Your Majesty and King Jiangdu's horses are so fast, leaving the rest behind."

Pei Shu was stunned, and the two points in the distance gradually became invisible. She frowned slightly, but finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her third brother, not to mention other things, is at least the most reliable in protecting the safety of the imperial brother.

Pei Jing has worshiped his eldest brother as a god since he was a child, and even the reason why he fell in love with Xu Mingyue was because she, like him, was devoted to his eldest brother.

The last time I was kicked, my bones were cracked. Not long after the injury healed, I begged to go hunting in autumn with His Majesty.

Even if her third brother died on his own, he wouldn't let anything happen to his eldest brother.

Pei Shu felt a little more at ease, glanced at the empty throne above, and heard a gentle voice in her ears.

"Why is Xiao Shu so distracted?"

Pei Shu glanced at the young man who was speaking. Their eyes were exactly the same. They were not the phoenix eyes of the Pei family, but more like Princess Chengyang.

"Second brother didn't come with us?" She stared at Pei Su, trying to find something strange about him, "Second brother finally got to Beijing, but he didn't go out to have fun."

"I'm not the emperor's brother or third brother. I haven't been good at riding and shooting since I was a child." Pei Su said with a smile, "It's rare for me to go to the capital to say a few words to Xiao Shu, and why are you so anxious to drive me away? It's obvious that you were the most attached to me when you were a child. , It really makes my second brother sad."

"You came to the capital to talk to me?" Pei Shu's expression remained unchanged, "Look, those cousins ​​have all been given marriages, but you still don't have a wife. Baba came to ask the emperor for a wife."

"I still can't hide it from Xiao Shu." Pei Su's smile became gentler, "I can't help it, I'm really worried."

Pei Shu lowered her eyes and said no more.

She looked towards the end of the hunting ground, where the sky and the earth intertwined, and the imperial brother had long since disappeared.

Deep in the dense forest, Ben Xiao finally slowed down. The man sitting firmly on the horse drew his arrow, drew the bow, aimed, and shot the arrow in one go.

Pei Jing rode on dark clouds and walked through the snow, following the emperor's brother. He caught a glimpse of the tiger stripes hidden in the dark green, and suddenly understood why the emperor's brother had ignored the other beasts along the way. It turned out that he had made up his mind to shoot the tiger today.

The emperor, who was dressed in black armor, looked calm and focused, as if he was confident in everything he did, which was extremely reassuring.

Pei Jing saw that the emperor's brother showed no signs of illness in his riding and shooting, and he could vaguely see the way he took the lead in charging into battle and faced thousands of troops.

He saw the bow in Pei Zhi's hand, and his blood, which had been silent since he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, boiled again.

Famous Gong Lieque, he was the deputy general when he was quelling the chaos in Youzhou. He watched his elder brother ride into the night, with Lieque in his hand like the full moon, one arrow piercing the clouds and cracking rocks, and taking the enemy general's head among thousands of troops.

Just like thunder and lightning splitting the clouds and mist, tearing apart the neat military formation on the opposite side.

Pei Jing was not worried at all that something might happen to his brother. The next moment, the smile on his lips froze.

That arrow didn't hurt any vital parts.

The enraged beast roared, causing the trees in the forest to rustle.

Pei Zhi's expression remained unchanged, three feather arrows were placed on Lieque's bow at the same time, and he followed the sound to identify the direction.

But a moment later, the sharp arrows penetrated the tiger's head, splattering blood all over the ground.

The man in black armor frowned slightly and returned to calm in an instant, as if the danger just now was just an illusion.

The young man who had just drawn his sword and was about to block Ben Xiao was stunned.

There seemed to be nothing unusual. His eldest brother should be like this, sitting high on his horse, looking down at everything.

There was no trace of joy on King Jiangdu's face. His face was distorted for a moment due to excessive fear. He laughed dryly twice, looked at the empty way, and pretended to be relaxed: "General Fu is really ashamed of Fu Xun's reputation. It has been so long. Just caught a hare."

The emperor's voice was still cold and steady, like ice that never melted all year round. He nodded slightly and said, "It's not surprising that Fulin doesn't like hunting."
