The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Every time Li Heng said a word, the emperor's face became darker.

"The imperial court asked her son to take care of it, and her brother did the hunting. Why, I, the emperor, must listen to the imperial concubine in everything."

The emperor raised his whip and whipped his horse into the forest.

The guards behind him swarmed in. Li Heng looked at the emperor's fainted appearance with satisfaction and hurriedly followed.

Not far away, he happened to see a black bear. The emperor took a bow and shot an arrow. He pulled the bow to the maximum and shot it dozens of feet away.

It's a pity that he didn't even brush the edge of the black bear.

The emperor was not convinced, so he drew his bow and shot again. As soon as he put on the bow and arrow, he saw an arrow shot out from the dense forest. An arrow penetrated the black bear's neck. The black bear immediately fell to the ground and died.

"The general is nearly fifty years old, but he can still shoot a black bear with one arrow. He is really majestic."

Someone in the dense forest congratulated loudly, followed by a series of laughter: "You are only fifty. If you can't even shoot a black bear, wouldn't it be too useless?"

The laughter spread from far to near, and a group of people appeared in front of the emperor. It was the imperial concubine's eldest brother, the uncle who was the same age as the emperor.

The uncle saw a bow and arrow dropped next to the black bear. After saluting the emperor, he began to boast: "Your Majesty, although I am old, my strength has not diminished. I can still guard the border for the emperor for 20 years. Don't worry, your emperor. There will never be a situation where the bow and arrow fired will not even touch the prey's fur."

Seeing that no one answered, he looked around at the young guards around the emperor and said with a loud smile: "I don't know which little brother shot the arrow. Although he is not good at archery, he has great courage. General Kurokumamoto will send it to him." Here you go.”

After saying that, he sincerely said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I will shoot a bigger black bear for you. This one is too small."

The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted. He had been ridiculed by his uncle for so long that he could not even utter a word. Since he ascended the throne, he had never suffered such grievances.

However, the emperor's joy and anger were indistinguishable from others, and he said calmly: "In this case, I am here to thank my uncle."

The person on the other side almost left with their tails raised with the sound of "Uncle."

As soon as his uncle left, the emperor began to beat his horse and run wildly to vent his anger.

Before he could run very far, arrows suddenly flew in from the dense forest, and Li Heng quickly blocked the emperor.

"I'm going to stop you, take the emperor and leave quickly."

The emperor was frightened by the sharp arrow and almost fell off his horse in fear. He had never been assassinated before.

He was once an unpopular concubine prince. Although he was suppressed, no one cared about his life or death.

Since marrying the late empress, he has risen to prominence with the support of his Yue family, and has quickly established himself as a powerful man.

After decades of smooth sailing, and now he was suddenly assassinated, he only thought of one possibility: he was old and could no longer intimidate everyone, and someone wanted his throne.

"Quickly, save the Sixth Prince, I want to see who Fang Xiaoxiao is."

Li Heng never expected that the emperor would suddenly become tough. The manpower he arranged was just to aggravate the emperor's suspicion.

Now that the emperor refused to leave and was all showmanship, he could only take the risk of getting hit by an arrow.

As the number of arrows in the dense forest decreased, and the killer seemed to be showing signs of escaping, the emperor yelled: "Chase!"

"Father, it doesn't matter whether my son or I live or die. You must take care of yourself, don't chase after the enemy, and quickly protect the emperor back to the camp."

The emperor still wanted to pursue him, but Li Heng had already fainted unexpectedly.

"No, the arrow is poisonous. Your Majesty, please take the Sixth Prince to the camp for treatment as soon as possible."

The group returned to the camp, and Li Heng was carried into the tent for treatment.

Meng Wenyao came over after hearing the news and thought of Li Heng's previous confession that this was probably a cruel trick. As the sixth prince's concubine, she should have burst into tears.

But she couldn't cry, so she just pretended to faint.

"No, the sixth princess fainted from fright."

Because of this assassination, the camp suddenly became trembling. The emperor asked with a gloomy face: "What traces were found?"

The person who went to investigate the dense forest knelt down with a plop and said tremblingly: "There is no trace of the assassin, but, just..."

"Just what?" The emperor leaned forward to listen and glared angrily.

"It's just that Wei Chen picked up a horseshoe in the woods, and the arrow in the Sixth Prince's collection. The iron refining method used in both of them came from the same place."

The emperor straightened his back, raised his long beard from behind, and said gloomily: "Speak."

"Uncle Guo's station uses this method to smelt iron, and the arrows in the Sixth Prince's hands are very similar to the arrows in Uncle Guo's military camp."

So far, the assassination has been directed at the fourth prince.

The emperor knew in his heart that there was a high possibility of being framed.

But thinking about the fourth prince's efforts to win over the courtiers, the imperial concubine's family is even more...

Especially when he thought of what his uncle said in the dense forest, the emperor secretly made a decision.

He held his dizzy head. It didn't matter whether the fourth prince did it or not. He didn't allow anyone to be out of control. Now the imperial concubine's lineage was obviously trying their best to escape from his control.

It must be suppressed, vigorously and quickly.

This assassination is a good time, he wants to get everything back under his control.

After being the emperor for decades, he still holds the power, and it is not a problem to take care of the fourth prince.

"Come here, go see if the Sixth Prince is awake."

In Meng Wenyao's tent, the imperial doctor treated Li Heng and said that the arrow wound was just a scratch and not poisoned, but just some secret medicine.

After Li Heng woke up, Meng Wenyao couldn't pretend anymore and began to wake up faintly. From an angle where no one was paying attention, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Highness, how is it?"

"Everything goes well. My father is very jealous of the imperial concubine and her family. He will definitely take action in the next few days. You must protect yourself and don't get involved."

As soon as Li Heng finished explaining, the emperor came over accompanied by the imperial physician.

"How is your prince?" The emperor asked worriedly.

"My son is fine, my father is worried."

Li Heng's eyes showed the excitement of surviving the disaster, and the gratitude of the emperor personally coming to care.

"Okay, that's good. You are worthy of being your true legitimate son."

Now at the juncture of sealing the title of Queen, the emperor said such words about his legitimate son, which can easily make people imagine.

After inviting everyone out, the emperor ordered Li Heng in a deep voice.

"Heng'er, I received a secret report from the palace, saying that the fourth child is now wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair. Today, he has even arranged for my uncle to assassinate me. The fourth child is going to rebel!"

"Father!"

Li Heng stood up from the couch in shock and said in disbelief: "Father, the imperial concubine is about to be crowned queen. Fourth brother should not be planning to make a move."

"Heng'er, you are too naive and too kind. You don't know that people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. The fourth child can't wait any longer. It is possible for him to do anything. I can't just sit back and wait for death. You have to help me."

The emperor's dark eyes were rolling with huge waves, and he stared at Li Heng, waiting for his reply.

Li Heng quickly got off the bed and said solemnly: "My father gave me this life. As long as my father orders me, I will never dare to disobey until I die."
