Chapter 73

"King Anping?" Mu Biwei and Ashan exchanged a doubtful and vigilant look and frowned, "It's not surprising that you haven't seen a tiger and leopard in Xiji Mountain for two consecutive years... So your majesty came to Yueshanchi this time to... hunt tigers?"

Ge Nuo said, "I don't know that the two flying crane guards were guarding at the wind at that time. First, they complained that they felt cold with less clothes. One of them said how the holy driver could have thought of this mountain pool this year, and the other said that King Anping gave a speech to His Majesty."

Mu Biwei's face has changed. The suggestion put out by King Anping is not abrupt. The royal family hunts for the second time in spring and autumn every year, and most of them are in Xiji Mountain. After a long time, even if there is summer and winter recuperation, there is always a problem that the prey is scarce and can't be picked up, so it is not wrong to change the hunting ground to let Xiji Mountain rest.

The question is... Royal hunting, where does it depend on the prey of the hunting ground itself?

The prey in Xiji Mountain is gone. Is it possible that the prey from the nearby place can't be transported?

After the decline of the former Wei Dynasty, hunting was basically in the West Pole Mountain, and the place had not been changed for a hundred years. If it only relied on the native prey in the West Pole Mountains, even the ants would be exhausted!

Doesn't Mu Biwei know the joints in this hunting? Doesn't King An Ping know yet? He took Ji Shen to Yueshanchi like this, and deliberately mentioned what the tiger in those years meant?

"What else can you hear?"

"The maidservant was ashamed. When the two flying crane guards came here, their companions made them speechless. They also saw the maidservant, so they didn't go on." Ge Nuo said cautiously.

If you ask more carefully, there will be nothing else to say. Mu Biwei waved her hand upsetly and said, "You are tired of running outside for a day today. Take a rest first... Don't talk nonsense about this news." He retreated, and Ge Nuo agreed.

Ashan accompanied her into the inner room and lit the lamp and said, "Girl..."

"Let me think about it!" Mu Bi said with a solemn expression, and Ah Shan immediately silenced.

-Since two years ago, when Mu Biwei entered the palace, Ji Shen hunted and killed a tiger at the foot of the West Pole Mountain with bare hands, and he was only slightly injured. In the past two years, he has never met a beast in the West Pole Mountain. So far, the biggest one he has hit is just a wolf. Of course, others are not Dare to hunt bigger prey than the wolf.

This is not surprising.

After all, Ji Shen was slightly injured that time. At that time, the flying crane guard who protected him was severely reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Gao. If it hadn't been for their low background, Ji Shen tried his best to say that he had ordered them not to intervene. This matter would not end so easily.

What's more, after Ji deeply fought against the tiger, she was full of confidence. Who knew what kind of bear, tiger and leopard he would meet again next time? Previously, he did take down the tiger with only minor injuries, but if a man was injured... Not to mention the Empress Dowager Gao's love for her young son, just hunting the tiger alone last time, the courtiers' snowflakes would be enough to drown the imperial case...

In this case, who dares to ask him to meet the beast again? It can only be prevaried on the prey of Xiji Mountain after continuous hunting.

Ji Shen has no children so far. If something happens to him, although the Empress Dowager Gao has three sons, the king of Guangling is still more likely to succeed to the throne - Mu Bi frowned slightly: out of her doubts about the young master and the disability of his siblings, the late emperor Ruizong succeeded to the throne. In the past year, in addition to sweeping the remnants of the king of Jiqu and setting up a court situation that contained each other, he also personally suppressed the future of the two older legitimate sons, which was specifically reflected in the king of Anping and the king of Guangling. He was an excellent and talented adult prince as early as the late emperor, but even if the former emperor cleaned the court, he succeeded to the throne for Ji Shen. When preparing, they were never given even a false position except for Wang Jue.

Ruizong, who knew his fate soon, used this method, hoping to let his bloodline coexist tacitly and peacefully. Influenced by him, Jiang Yao and Ji became the regent, and at the same time paid close attention to keeping their hands from reaching into the court.

That is to say, although the king of Anping kept small movements in private, he was always within the tolerance of Jiang Yao and the plan. Although the two old ministers who were obedious and loyal to the previous emperors, although they have now begun to think sadly about the fate of escaping liquidation in the present hand, which is far from the hopes of Gaozu and the former emperors, Xu Hui would have no time to pay attention to the behavior of King Anping who crossed their boundaries from the front line, but was personally suppressed by the previous emperor. If the King of Anping wants to killed the king, he can't cover it up completely without trace?

Mu Biwei took a sip of the tea handed by Ah Shan, and suddenly was shocked - Empress Dowager Gao!

King Anping may not be able to completely cover up his conspiracy to killing the king, resulting in making wedding clothes for others, but his biological mother is the Empress Dowager Gao!

Ji Shen is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager Gao, and Anping Wang Jixu, isn't he the eldest son loved by the Empress Dowager Gao?

Even if you know that King Anping is the murderer or chief envoy, for a mother, even if she is the empress dowager and has lost a child, will the Empress Dowager be resentful of Anping to the point that she will not help him hide it? After all, Ji Shen's relationship with the Empress Dowager Gao over the years is just like that...

Mu Bi took a deep breath, drank all the tea in her hand, and asked A Shan, who had been waiting for a long time, "Do you think that King Anping is thinking..." She raised her hand and made a gesture.

Ashan was stunned, then took a breath of cold air, and hesitated for a long time, "I don't think it's going to be...?"

"A few people were missing from Yuqian Feihewei, and they haven't made up for it. The news we heard is the same as that they broke their legs and hurt their faces when they didn't ride carefully." Mu Bi said faintly, "Feihewei is extraordinary, especially before the imperial court. Although his leg is broken and can be picked up again, it is not appropriate to continue to serve the imperial court... It is not surprising that he can't find a suitable person for a while, but before these individuals had an accident in autumn hunting, this autumn hunting was actually proposed by King Anping. If he comes to Yueshanchi, if he has a big heart, there must be arrangements here!"

A Shan swallowed his saliva and whispered, "But now only the bodyguard outside the palace is holding it, and... this time the one who presided over the hunt is... a noble book!"

The noble book she said was Gao Jie. She was the nephew of the Empress Dowager and the mother's brother of Princess Anping. Two years ago, Ji was deeply angry with Xu Li, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies at that time, and asked Xu Nai to serve. At that time, Nie Yuansheng proposed to appoint Gao Jie as the successor, although Gao Jie was older than Ji Shen. Many, at that time, they were only 40 years old. In the comments, this Shangshu was a typical family son, with a nearly stubborn concept of family. He was extremely disgusted with Ji Shen's favorite minister Nie Yuansheng, and Nie Yuansheng's concession to him also made Gao Jie more and more clearly express this attitude.

However, although this person is pedantic and old-fashioned, he is also quite protective of his shortcomings. There is only one direct daughter of Rongchang County, that is, Gaojie's mother and sister, that is, Gaofu, Princess Anping. After the birthday of the Empress Dowager this year, the excitement of Anping's Palace has spread all over the city, because the king of Anping's favorite concubine to destroy his wife, Gao Despite the obstruction of Rongchang County, Jie personally came to ask the king of Anping not to blame him, and even went to the palace to ask for the Empress Dowager Gao, and questioned the Empress Dowager Gao so that he had nothing to say - if the excitement of the Anping Palace is not a scene deliberately performed by the King of Anping and the Gao family, then Gao Jie is obviously unlikely to collude with the King of Anping...

Without the help of Gaojie, Yueshanchi will not only be blocked before the hunting begins, but all places must have been carefully searched. Even if the king of Anping wants to fight the beast, he can't bypass Gaojie...

Mu Bi squeezed her lips and said to Ah Shan, "Princess Guangling is also here this time... I haven't seen the head of Yiyang County for some days?"

Ashan was understanding and nodded, "The head of Aiyang County must also miss the girl!"

Their wealth and even the honor and disgrace of the family are now closely related to Ji Shen's safety. Although Ge Nuo is just a news heard by chance, and even the truth and falsehood cannot be confirmed now, they would rather be false, but they dare not be careless - after all, the king of Anping asked for a concubine's daughter, and Mu Biwei was also In any case, the Mu family and the two kings of Anping and Guangling are absolutely not close, and even faintly, they are not very popular with these two.

Mu Biwei absolutely did not want to survive until now, and suddenly was beaten into the cold palace, and even Mu Qi, who was gradually walking into the center, died.

........................................................................................................................................

The next morning, after Ji Shen left, Mu Biwei sent Ah Shan to invite Princess Guangling and Princess Ayang in person.

Ashan returned before noon and smiled: "Princess Guangling was originally a little embarrassed. She said that the princess of Aiyang could hunt with the king of Guangling. The princess promised to teach her to ride a horse, but it conflicted with the invitation of the Empress. The maidservant also said that the Empress also wanted to go out for a walk together. The princess said that after lunch, she would take Let the princess go to the gentle place by the mountain pool to practice.

"It's a coincidence." Mu Bi nodded slightly and asked Ge Nuo, "Is this palace's mount ready?"

Ge Nuo hurriedly said, "The maidservant told them to prepare a few horses for the Empress to choose. Does the Empress want to see it now?"

"But it's all good?"

"Don't worry, even if the maidservants have poor eyesight, those grooms have always taken care of them most clearly. What's more, what's wrong with your majesty's stable?" Ge Nuo promised.

Mu Biwei asked these two sentences and said, "In this case, it's the same to choose again. Today, I will accompany the Princess Guangling to teach Princess Ayang to ride a horse, and I can't run away. Whether the horse is good or not, just prepare the clothes first."

He hurriedly turned his back and said, "Mother, I don't know which suit to take out to prepare the clothes that are convenient for riding this time?"

Although it's just hunting and driving, the position of the head of the concubine is placed there, and almost a box of dresses for various purposes will be brought, which will be asked specifically. Even Mu Biwei has to think about it carefully before saying, "Just take the set of red color."

The appointment of the princess in the afternoon was agreed here, but someone cried outside. A Shan couldn't help frowning: "Who is irregular here?"

Mu Bi listened slightly and hurriedly said, "Go out to see if it is Gong Zhongshi beside your majesty."

When he hurried out, A Shan said with a headache, "What is she doing here at this time? Don't stangle the mother again. It's not easy for Princess Guangling to take her away in the afternoon.

"I know it." Mu Bi turned the jade bracelet slightly and said, "Don't worry."

After a while, the little Gong came in with a red face. The little Gong was wearing a double screw bun and wearing a wide sleeve palace suit. The sleeves of the sleeves were embroidered with lush vines. Although there were not many beads on his hair, the texture was extremely exquisite. There was a string of pink pearl chains the size of a thumb on his neck, the bottom An amber fell from his head, and inside was a living wasp.

This dress looks simple, but there are not many concubines in the ring jewelry, which shows that Ji Shen cares about her.

But when Xiao Gong came in, she didn't have time to salute Mu Biwei. She sobbed and sat down in the lower position of her head. She cried in Ashan's slightly frown gaze, "Xuanhui Lady..." With such a sound, she raised her hand and directly wiped her tears with her sleeve. The casual behavior, which had never been taught, made the pearl chain because of the tedious dress on her body. The child was so rubbed that he almost put his finger on it.

Mu Bi hurriedly gave her handkerchief to Ah Shan: "Wipe it quickly. What the hell is going on?"

"Yue Mei and others all say that I am a fox charming son and specializes in seducing your majesty!" Little Gong was coaxed by her and gradually calmed down. She shed tears, clenched the veil handed by Ah Shan and choked, "I heard it and still refused to admit it - Madam, why did they say so? At the beginning, Your Majesty took the initiative to keep me in the palace!"

Mu Bi frowned slightly, and Xiao Gong was more impulsive than she thought... Yue Meiren, she handed over a comforting look and slowly asked, "The Yue Meiren you mentioned is the one in Yuntai Palace?"

There are many people entering the palace, and most of them are only palace concubines, not even concubines. If you have a good memory, you can only remember according to the name of the palace or the main position.

Little Gong wiped his tears, and his face turned red with excitement. He nodded viciously: "That's her! I also heard her say that Ninghui's mother fell out of favor, and it was all caused by me!"
