Ling Ruo walked to Hongli and said warmly: "The emperor has not closed his eyes all day and night. Go back to Qinxin Hall and rest. Qi Kuan and the others will be here to guard you."
Hongli shook his head and said: "My son is not tired. I want to stay with the queen for a while longer."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo didn't say anything more, she helped Yang Hai's hand and left. After a while, only Yongzhang and Yongxuan were left in the palace. Hongli said: "You two brothers should also go back, especially Yongzhang, you
You must be very tired after running around all night and fighting tigers."
Yong Zhang shook his head and said: "My son, it's nothing. The most tiring thing is the fifth uncle. Emperor Ama, you didn't see it at the time. The fifth uncle fought an evil tiger alone. I don't know how brave he was. I was dumbfounded at the time."
Hongli smiled and said: "Your fifth uncle has always been very brave, but you have never seen it before." After a moment of pause, he added: "So, your fifth uncle captured the tiger just now?
"
"No, there are two tigers there. One female tiger was blinded by Uncle Wu and fled into the cave. Uncle Wu entangled the male tiger alone and asked his subordinates to enter the cave to capture the female tiger alive. They were almost captured, but the result is unknown.
Who could be so careless as to kill the female tiger in the dark? By the time I ran out of the cave and wanted to ask Uncle Wu to be merciful and not kill the male tiger, it was already too late."
"That's it." When Hongli nodded, Yongzhang added: "Because of this matter, the fifth uncle lost his temper and almost killed Ning Er. Later, he dragged his seriously injured body around to look for others.
Tiger, I even cried when I saw him. It was not until later that I found another tiger and captured it alive that my fifth uncle finally became happy."
"Really?" Although Hongli still had a smile on his face, his eyes had turned cold, and his voice was cold and authentic: "Did your fifth uncle really cry?"
Before Yongzhang could speak, Yongxuan already smiled and said: "The third brother must have seen it wrong. I have never seen the fifth uncle shed tears in my life. How could such a thing happen?"
Yong Zhang said with some displeasure: "I was next to Uncle Wu at the time. How could I have seen it wrong? You were not there at the time, so I don't know how nervous Uncle Wu was. It was as if he could risk his life."
When Yongxun was about to say more, Hongli already said: "Okay, I understand, you all can go down."
Yongzhang saw that Hongli was already showing displeasure, so he was not willing to give up. He opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, my dear..."
As soon as he said a few words, there was a slight sting on his face, and he saw Hongli staring at him with cold eyes, "Didn't you hear what I said? Get down!"
Being stared at by him, Yong Zhang felt fearful and did not dare to say any more. He bowed his head and exited the inner hall with Yong Xuan. After the hall door was closed, Hongli took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress the pain in his chest.
Bored.
Hong Zhou......
As for Yongzhang, after leaving the inner hall, he complained and said: "Fourth brother, why did you interrupt me when you have nothing to do? You have messed up the matter."
Yongxuan said with an innocent face: "I just thought it was unreasonable, so I said something, what did I do?"
"It was obvious just now..." Yong Zhang spoke smoothly for a moment and almost said what was in his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped what he was saying in time, and said instead: "I also asked, if it weren't for you, would Huang Ama be unhappy?
"
Yongxun said aggrievedly: "No way. Besides, I just said one thing. The rest was said by the third brother. Even if Huang Ama is unhappy, it is because of the third brother." As he said, he said curiously: "Third brother
, Uncle Wu...are you really crying?"
"Of course, do you think I'm just talking nonsense?!" After saying this, he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, I'm very sleepy, I have to go back to rest, you go back too
Bar."
Yongxuan responded. After watching Yongzhang disappear, he grabbed a palace attendant and said, "Where is Prince He?"
The palace man said respectfully: "As for Fourth Brother, the prince is resting in the right side hall."
Yongxuan nodded and walked quickly to the right side hall. When he got there, he saw Hongzhou half-leaning on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yongxun bowed his hands and said, "Uncle Wu, are you feeling better?"
"Brother Laosi is worried, it's just a few flesh wounds, it doesn't matter." With that said, he said to the palace servants standing on both sides with their hands down: "It's none of your business here, please step aside."
When only the two of them were left in the hall, Hong Zhou said: "Sir Brother wrote the words 'Beware of Yong' in my hand before, but you want me to be careful of Yongzhang?" After Yongxuan nodded, he frowned and said
: "So, you've already expected that Third Brother doesn't really want to go to the Tigers?"
Yongxuan sighed and said: "Third brother has a deep misunderstanding of Huang's mother, so how could he risk going up the mountain to hunt tigers for Huang's mother?"
Hong Zhou asked: "What on earth is going on?"
"I can't tell clearly at the moment. In short, because of Madam Su, the third brother is only respectful and filial to the Emperor's mother on the surface, but in his heart..." He shook his head sadly and said in a deep voice: "I wish the Emperor's mother died."
Without waiting for Hong Zhou to speak, he tentatively said: "Fifth Uncle, you were on the mountain before, uh... that..." He didn't know how to ask, but Hong Zhou saw the embarrassment in his heart and said: "What's wrong with Brother Si?"
Just say it directly."
"Okay." Yongxuan took a breath and said, "On the mountain, when both tigers died, did you ever shed tears because you thought there was no hope of saving the emperor?"
Hong Zhou's face changed slightly, and he turned away somewhat uncomfortably: "Where did Brother Si hear this nonsense? How is it possible..."
Yongxuan interrupted him, "It was the third brother who said it. Apart from me, the only people who heard about it were Huang Ama."
"What did you say?" Hong Zhou said with an ugly face: "Did the third elder brother talk to the emperor?"
While Yongxuan nodded, he repeated what Yongzhang said in front of Hongli, and then said: "I can see that Huang Ama is a little unhappy because of his words!"
"Damn it!" Hong Zhou punched the bed hard and said in a cold voice: "At such a young age, it is really disgusting to harbor such vicious thoughts!" After a pause, he added: "It seems that the person who assassinated the tiger in the cave before was
Sure enough, it was him. From the beginning to the end, his purpose was not to save the Queen, but to save her life."
Yongxun sighed and said: "I should have talked more carefully with the fifth uncle, but the third brother was nearby at the time, so I couldn't say more, otherwise the fifth uncle would not have been injured. In addition... Huang Amana
Bian, Uncle Wu, please be careful."
Hong Zhou said gratefully: "I understand, thank you Si A Ge for coming here to remind me."
After Yongxun left, Hongzhou fell into a long silence. Before this witchcraft incident, he had always thought that the Wei family was deposed, the Yehenala family was killed, and Xianyue gained another blessing in praying for rain.
With the support of all the people, no one dared to go against her again, but it turned out that he was naive. The danger was always there and never far away.
