Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Before, because the emotions of Lin Xiang's family were too unstable, the emperor was afraid that they would be anxious, so he ordered Sheng'an and Guo Yuanpan to coax and persuade them, and they left the camp temporarily together with the three of them.

But at this moment, as soon as the news of Lin Shurong's awakening came, they immediately rushed back as fast as possible, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the former was safe and sound.

Mrs. Lin has lived in a deep house for a long time, and she has never seen such a dangerous scene. Great sorrow and joy followed one after another, which made her unable to control her fear for a while, so she hugged her daughter and shed tears on the spot.

"Rong'er...for my mother's Rong'er..."

Mrs. Lin was out of breath from crying, and her whole body was a little incoherent, "It's okay, it's okay... If something happens to you, what will we do to Mrs. Lin, and what to do to His Royal Highness Ninth Princess..."

"What did Madam say!" Xiang Lin's eyes were also red, but he still stubbornly maintained his posture, refusing to shed tears easily, "It's lucky that Shu Rong is safe and sound this time, how can I listen to such words again? Absolutely no." Nonsense!"

Mrs. Lin sobbed softly, quickly dipped her sleeves into the corners of her eyes, and finally stopped her tears, "Yes, yes, I was wrong! When I return home this time, I should offer a few more volumes of scriptures to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in memory of them." Keep my Rong'er's life safe..."

Lin Shurong smiled slightly, picked up the veil beside the pillow, carefully wiped off the remaining tears on Mrs. Lin's face, and said softly, "Father, mother, don't worry, I'm fine now—"

"Nothing? Do you know how dangerous the situation was?"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Xun on the side had already widened his eyes and shouted sharply: "If it wasn't for the fact that Princess Nine's horse hit a rock and slowed down, if it wasn't for the fallen leaves piled up under the tree you landed on, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... "

——I'm afraid it will break your head, and you will turn from a famous talented woman in the capital to an unparalleled fool in the world!

Lin Xun hesitated to speak for a while, but he didn't dare to offend the eldest sister; but what Mingtan said just now was still in his ears, and he happened to continue the unfinished sentence for him.

Lin Shurong laughed, thinking of the little princess's swollen cheeks, she couldn't help lowering her brows and eyes, and curled her lips into a smile.

The younger brother has always respected himself the most, and it is rare to talk to her once, it seems that he really scared the child.

"Okay, thousands of mistakes are all my fault, Ah Xun should not be so angry."

Lin Shurong didn't care about it either, so he had to admit his mistake with Lin Xun in a temper, and then changed the topic and asked about the things he cared most about.

"What happened to that crazy horse?"

"It was restrained by me and the garrisoned guards with a noose."

Lin Xun sighed, and said annoyedly: "When the Nine Princesses were on its back, I didn't dare to act rashly. I can only wait for her to fall off the horse with you, then drive the beast out of the forest, and call the imperial guards to capture it alive. ..." He paused for a moment, then said firmly, "This horse must be acting strangely, we must keep alive!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Before Lin Shurong could answer, Prime Minister Lin gave his son an admiring glance, "The horses used in autumn hunting are very important, and they will go through the Taipusi Horse Factory, the Ministry of Rites, and the Royal Horse Garden for careful investigation. Its hands and feet can only be investigated after the autumn hunting begins——the investigation can be started from the horse."

Fortunately, Lin Xun was alert and calm, and knew that he had to keep alive—otherwise, if he searched from the horse corpse, many clues would disappear along with him.

"Well done." Lin Shurong smiled slightly, and also praised her younger brother without hesitation.

After she finished speaking, she turned her head sideways, her gaze stayed on the shaking tent curtain for a moment, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, His Highness's side...it must be much smoother.

The emperor's heir almost died in the royal hunting ground, and he was also His Majesty's favorite nine princesses. This is simply appalling!

The emperor was furious, and he even stopped the autumn hunting for Ming Tan himself, and ordered the imperial army to go deep into the forest camp and investigate carefully, not to let go of any suspicious things.

The imperial army was originally under the jurisdiction of the nine princesses, and the sons and daughters in the camp were also filled with righteous indignation.After receiving the order, led by Geng Jing, they went into the forest to inspect the scene one after another, and visited all the princes and ministers for interrogation.

The commotion was so loud that it was hard for people not to know about it.

——This is exactly what Ming Tan meant.

She was standing beside the emperor at this moment, her face was as usual, she couldn't see any fright, only her eyes were so gloomy and frightening, like a beast hiding in seclusion that would choose to devour people.

The emperor turned his head, glanced at her, and asked in a harmonious voice, "How is Miss Lin?"

"At that time, she dared to protect me from falling after she saw the spot."

Mentioning Lin Shurong, Ming Tan's eyes suddenly softened, and he replied: "Guo Yuan also said that it's nothing serious, but there will inevitably be some bruises and pains on the body, but it's not a big deal, just take a few days to recover and heal."

"That's good." The emperor looked at his daughter and said with a smile, "When you brought her back, you cried harder than it rained, but you scared me, your mother, and your elder brother."

"..." Ming Tan was awkwardly silent for a while, then muttered, "I'm worried about her."

"Okay, I know that you and Miss Lin are the most sympathetic." The emperor patted Ming Tan's shoulder, "I will definitely seek justice for you and her, don't worry, Longlin."

"...Well, thank you, Father." Ming Tan reluctantly hooked the corners of his lips, but his heart did not feel a little relieved.

Although she knew the perpetrators well, she still didn't have any real evidence. The only way to turn things around is to make things as big as possible and force them to mess up...

I just hope that the imperial guards can find some flaws in the search.

……

Those who are eligible to participate in the autumn hunting are either noble princes and clans, or important officials and courtiers in the court.They have many eyes and ears, and they only need to inquire about it a little, and they can learn about today's changes in sevens and eighties.

Ming Fei, the prince of King Yu who brought Qiu Ling back to the camp ahead of schedule, was naturally also among them.

I never thought that such a dangerous thing would happen after I left the forest farm—Ming Fei felt terrified when he thought about it, and thinking about the kindness of the nine princesses donating prey to him, he couldn't help but frowned, turned around and put on his coat , opened the camp tent and walked out.

His father, King Yu, was still squatting outside the tent at this moment, marveling at the autumn antelope brought back by his son. While studying the injury on its hind legs, he sighed: "Oh... the younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is awesome!"

While muttering, suddenly Ming Fei came out in a hurry, with a serious face, as if he was about to go out immediately.King Yu couldn't help being taken aback, got up and said to the other party: "Stinky boy, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Go to meet His Majesty and the Ninth Princess," Ming Fei replied without any intention of hiding anything, "I have told my father before that after the Ninth Princess gave me the autumn antelope, she allowed my son and my son Jin is the first to go back to camp."

"Well, I remember," King Yu frowned slightly, "but it won't make you go to face the saint..."

"What I didn't tell my father was that on the way back, my son caught a very sneaky eunuch and interrogated him."

Ming Fei said: "Although I didn't hear any flaws at the time, I thought... that the Ninth Princess almost died after that must have something to do with that eunuch!"

His tone was decisive, his gaze was firm, as if he had made up his mind, King Yu couldn't help frowning even more. After a long silence, he said with a sigh: "This matter is so complicated that it's hard to see the whole picture. You can pretend you don't know it. Why do you need to go through this muddy water..."

"Father once taught my ministers that those of us who practice martial arts are familiar with the art of war and strategy, so we should be able to distinguish between grievances and resentments." Ming Fei said flatly, "Since the Ninth Princess is kind to my ministers, then when she has difficulties , how can my son sit idly by and be that kind of dishonest villain?"

His words and sentences were full of stubbornness, King Yu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard it, and was a little speechless at the moment.

After a long silence, when Ming Fei gathered his coat and was about to turn around and leave, he stretched out his hand and frowned, and suddenly stopped his son's footsteps and said, "Wait a minute."

Ming Fei paused, then looked back at him with obvious suspicion in his eyes.

King Yu snorted, stepped forward quickly, slapped his son on the back shoulder, blew his beard and stared at him: "Aren't you going to help the ninth princess solve the case? Why are you still standing there, let's go!"

……

Both father and son are used to practicing martial arts, and their footsteps are not slow, but when they came near the emperor's tent, there were already a lot of people poking around not far away, and about half of them wanted to see what happened .

I don't know why, but the emperor also pretended not to see these people and let them watch from the sidelines... This is really strange.

Ming Fei pushed several people away without any trace, and got closer to the center. Before he could look at it, he heard a high-pitched horse neighing not far away, which almost made him jump.

"Look there! What's the matter with that horse?"

Someone exclaimed so, and Ming Fei turned his head accordingly.I saw a black horse tied to a solid wooden post, as if it had been stimulated by something, it was kicking its four hooves non-stop, or simply slamming its head into the wooden post.

"咚", "咚", one after another, it seemed extremely strange, and one couldn't help but feel a little cold behind.

Ming Fei took a closer look, and suddenly understood.

This is the horse of the Ninth Princess, it is really crazy like this!

Could it be that Yu Ma Yuan deliberately distributed this kind of epileptic horse to the hands of the Ninth Princess?

He thought of the family name that eunuch Chen had reported himself, and couldn't help but turn his mind. He raised his eyes to Ming Tan who was standing beside the black horse, staring coldly at the beast. Just when he was about to speak up——

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report."

A female voice with a gentle tone came, and the tone was as pleasant as a mountain spring.Ming Fei turned his head in surprise, and saw a concubine in an autumn-colored palace dress stepping forward, with picturesque eyebrows and dignified demeanor, bowing to the emperor with a deep blessing.

"Before my concubine entered the palace, I learned some ways to identify horses from my father." Concubine Ying said, "Just now I saw this horse behaves strangely, it is really weird, and there seems to be something strange in it... I wonder if Your Majesty will allow this concubine to get closer , take a closer look, and you may be able to see why it suddenly went mad."

The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at Concubine Ying who had volunteered for Ying, and said calmly, "Why do you need to do this trivial matter of looking after a horse yourself? Just send an eunuch from the Royal Horse Court."

However, before he said this, there were already subtle whispers from the crowd next to him.

"This is Concubine Ying? Sigh, she is as beautiful and dignified as the rumors say, but it's a pity..."

"Is it the daughter of Xu Xieling from Taipusi's horse factory? Tsk tsk, as the head of the first palace, you actually rush to recognize the horse? It's not embarrassing..."

"Master Peng, be careful! Didn't you hear what His Majesty just said?"

"Ahem, according to this old man, although Concubine Ying has a bad background, she is indeed a ruthless character—"

"Yes, yes, have you forgotten, my lords? In the past, this Concubine Ying, with great righteousness, personally sent her own daughter, the third princess, to Qiangmi for marriage, and took this opportunity to rise to the top and secure her position as the second-rank concubine." , Duan Duan is a character not to be underestimated..."

However, no matter how commotion was around, it still did not affect the calm Concubine Ying.

"It's a waste of time to send people."

As she spoke, she showed off her face and smiled, turned to the side, and also blessed Ming Tan, "Besides, being able to share one or two of the nine princesses' worries can be regarded as letting the concubine do her best."

"..."

Ming Tan glanced at her indifferently, and returned the courtesy thoughtfully and indifferently: "Young Concubine Ying is serious."

"It's a trivial matter, why should the princess be polite with concubines?" Concubine Ying smiled lightly, didn't say any more, but turned around and walked up to the black horse, and looked at it carefully for a moment.

The horse was so fierce that no one was allowed to approach it. It even wanted to kick Concubine Ying, but the latter deftly turned around and avoided it. From what I saw just now, this horse's coat color is lighter, its forehead slightly bulging, its mane is thicker and its mane is thicker and darker, and its hooves are hard and powerful, so it must be a gentle-tempered Pan Tuo."

騩 is a category of horses, representing a light-black horse; Pan Tuo 騩 is a very well-known breed, produced in Panzhou and Tuozhou in the frontier.

The horses bred in these two places are known as "well-behaved and easy to tame, good at jumping and jumping", and are very famous throughout Tiancheng.

——But it is also this kind of horse that is famous for being "tame", and now it is so violent and crazy, it is really puzzling.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has another idea."

While the emperor was thinking, Concubine Ying stared at the nose of the black horse for a while, and said suddenly: "I don't know if you can order someone to take three coins of silver dan grass and one coin of mugwort leaves, mix them up and send them here ?”

"Silver Dan grass and mugwort leaves?"

These two plants are very common, and Guo Yuanpan should be able to find them there.

The emperor gave Sheng An a glance, and the latter immediately went there knowingly.He traveled very quickly, and after a while he came back with a small medicine jar, presented it to Concubine Ying, and said respectfully: "My lady, please."

Concubine Ying took the jar, thanked her in a low voice, grabbed a handful of grass blades from the jar, took two steps forward, and threw her hand directly at the black horse.

In an instant, a strong and refreshing smell lingered in the air, which lifted the spirits of everyone present.

Similarly, just as the smell gradually dissipated, the black horse's movement of hitting the post unexpectedly stopped, and gradually stopped its restless hooves, and exhaled a long breath from its nose.

After a while, under the shocked eyes of everyone, the black horse finally calmed down, lowered its head docilely, wagged its tail naturally and actively, and even took the initiative to rub the palm of Concubine Ying's outstretched hand towards it.

"Sure enough."

Concubine Ying murmured, withdrew her hand, and said firmly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this horse has indeed been tampered with, and it must have been planted with a... strange herb called 'horse rash'. "
