The horse under Princess Hehui saw that its master had not given orders for a long time, so it lowered its head and gnawed the grass on the ground.
The grass blades were stained with dew and were especially tender and delicious. The horse turned back slightly. Princess Hehui simply turned over and dismounted, and tied the horse to a tree on the side.
Luo Erhan drove his horse forward, and when he was in front of He Hui, he stopped the reins and jumped off the horse.
Both horses lowered their heads and ate grass leisurely, occasionally wagging their tails to chase away small flying insects in the forest.
Hehui glanced at Lorhan and said slowly: "When did you know about it?"
Although she said her words carelessly, Luo Erhan understood that she was asking "when did she know his identity as a princess?"
When he listened to her talk, it was all "you" and "me". The one holding the reins couldn't help trembling slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Princess Hehui's side face, and he whispered:
"Very early."
He paused for a moment and then slowly said: "I later asked Mr. Zhai Jia - the young master of Zhai Jia's family has always had leg problems. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his thoughts are all expressed in pen and ink articles.
He never touched a bow and arrow, let alone taught others how to bow and arrow. Although the slave knew that the person in front of him was not the third son of Zhai Jia, he still did not know his true identity until the princess taught the slave many times in the arrow pavilion and the slave heard about He Hui.
The princess has always liked to dress up in men's clothing, and now she suddenly realized it."
He paused, looked at Princess Hehui, and said clearly and clearly: "In the Forbidden City, who can enter and exit without restriction? Not even the guards at the Arrow Pavilion or the imperial officials can stop him?"
Princess Hehui was stunned for a moment, her face was a little depressed, she lowered her head and muttered: "So you knew it a long time ago."
She raised her head, waved the riding crop in her hand calmly, held it in her arms and said sideways: "Since we already knew it, why did you still pretend to be ignorant when we met so many times in the arrow pavilion later?
What does it look like?”
Luo Erhan lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then said word by word: "If this slave breaks the law early, he will never see the princess again."
After he said this, although he straightened his shoulders and back, his ears slowly turned red, until the red reached the roots of his ears.
He Hui never expected that he would actually say such a sentence in front of her. Her eyes widened for a moment, and she subconsciously took a step back. However, when she saw the young man in front of her, she finally said what she had been hiding in her heart for a long time.
As if he was worried, he let out a breath of relief.
He Hui's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Suddenly, he saw Luo Erhan's expression change and he exclaimed: "Be careful!"
He jumped forward and pulled Princess Hehui violently. He saw a lone wolf with a black back and a yellow belly emerging from between the trees. It was huge and had sharp claws. It was probably the person who had just been surrounded by hunters.
He went crazy, his eyes were red at this time, and he looked like a trapped animal still fighting.
The two horses next to the tree had already been frightened. At this time, it was too late to get on the horse. Luo Erhan saw that the situation was urgent and blocked He Hui behind him.
The imperial guard was not good at carrying swords, so Luo Erhan only wore a quiver on his waist. The arrow feathers came out of the quiver and were slightly swayed by the wind. At this time, he immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow. The lone wolf was very close and jumped towards him in the air.
, the two front paws stretched towards Walhan's shoulder blades.
Luo Erhan quickly dodged on the spot, and the lone wolf was not slow to react. He actually twisted the wolf's neck in the air, adjusted his posture, and pounced on Princess Hehui next to him.
Luo Erhan was shocked and jumped forward to protect He Hui. The claws of the lone wolf that should have fallen on Princess He Hui fell on the back of Luo Er Han's hand, leaving three blood marks on the ground.
Luo Erhan hugged He Hui and rolled sideways on the grass a few times before stopping. The lone wolf jumped into the air and became a little weaker. Luo Erhan took advantage of this moment to not give it any breathing space.
When you have a chance to rest, immediately grab the quiver on your waist, bend your bow and shoot.
There was only a muffled sound of "pounce", and the lone wolf roared. The whole body of the wolf trembled, and then its two front legs gradually became weak, and finally fell down.
He Hui sat on the ground and looked at each other in shock with Luo Erhan. Luo Erhan ignored that the back of his hand was still bleeding and immediately said nervously: "Is the princess injured?"
Princess Hehui pointed to her ankle.
Luo Erhan stretched out his hand and was about to touch it. He hesitated for a moment and turned his head away.
He Hui rolled up his trousers and saw an inch-long wound on his ankle cut by sand and gravel. Bright red blood was already oozing out. Fortunately, although the wound was long, it was not deep. After pressing for a while, the bleeding stopped.
Living.
She took out a handkerchief from her arms and bandaged the wound. Luo Erhan waited for a while, turned around and saw that she had put down her clothes to cover her skin, but the wound was not bandaged properly, so he said softly:
"Princess, forgive me."
As he spoke, he wrapped the scarf around He Hui's wound again, and then whispered: "Can you still walk?"
Princess Hehui stood up holding his arm, turned her ankle, tried to use strength, and staggered forward.
Luo Erhan brought the horse over and half supported and half held He Hui on the horse.
He Hui lowered his head, the two of them were very close, neither dared to look at each other, they could only hear the sound of breathing.
Lorhan waited to see her sitting on the horse, and then he handed the reins to her in embarrassment. Then he walked aside, grabbed the lone wolf's ear, and looked at it.
Princess Hehui took out a small knife from the quiver under the saddle and said: "Here!"
She raised her hand and threw it, and Lorhan caught it. He conveniently cut off the wolf's ear and hung it next to the saddle.
The horse smelled the stench of wolf blood and immediately backed away in fear.
Luo Erhan reached out and patted the horse's back a few times to calm it down. Then he took Princess Hehui's horse reins with one hand and walked slowly out of the forest.
Princess Hehui saw the blood beads oozing out from the back of his hand, so she worriedly said: "The back of your hand..."
Luo Erhan looked down at his wound nonchalantly, shook his head and said, "This is a small injury, it doesn't matter."
When they got outside, many people had already returned with full loads. Luo Erhan led the princess's horse to the front, and saw the emperor holding up a riding whip with bright yellow tassels, pointing in the distance, and talking to Si Age with a smile.
something.
The fourth elder brother turned his head and saw Princess Hehui on the horse, coming over with a look of embarrassment on her face, and immediately stopped talking.
Yinzhen also looked over, and when he saw He Hui's appearance, he shouted: "He Hui, what's going on?"
When Hehui was asked, he subconsciously moved his feet to the side.
This action simply made the place worth three hundred taels of silver. For a moment, everyone looked at the princess's feet, and saw faint traces of blood oozing out from the ankles.
Luo Erhan stepped forward, knelt down in front of Yinzhen and said, "I failed to protect the princess well, I deserve to die!"
Hong Zhou stepped forward on horseback, looked at Luo Erhan's face several times, and then smiled: "This is strange, you are the imperial guard..."
He turned around and pointed at the circle of imperial guards standing next to Yinzhen, and said: "The emperor is supposed to be protected. Princess, who said you need to protect me?"
