That night, the emperor almost stayed up all night, and the lights of the imperial tent were on all night. On the contrary, it was Qi Yang and Lu Qipei who seemed to let go of their burdens and sleep well after telling the emperor and the emperor.
In the early morning of the next day, everything started to work again, and King Wei, who was rescued back to the camp in the middle of the night, naturally became the focus of everyone's conversation.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei received a lot of praise when they made up their sleep and left the account. Whether it is true or not, almost everyone praises her for being brave and resourceful, at the same time loving her brother, and willing to go to danger late at night for her brother.
Now, that's all good news. Qi Yang accepted it readily, and at the same time put the credit to Lu Qipei, saying that it was because of her that she followed the trail to find someone, so that the King Wei who fell from the horse could be found at the bottom of the steep slope.
When others heard it, they even praised the concubine, saying that she was young and promising, and she was worthy of being born in Dali Temple.
Hearing a compliment early in the morning, Qi Yang was naturally in a good mood. Especially when others praised Lu Qipei, she was even more proud, happier than she was being praised, and could hardly maintain her reserved attitude.
Lu Qipei looked a little funny, and regardless of Qi Yang's chat with others, he turned his head to inquire about other news.
Sure enough, this morning, someone mentioned King Wei's cross-bred horse. At this moment, another group of people entered the hunting grounds, and they went to find the horse. At this time, the horse was looking for something to check, and it was not to drop King Wei's belongings. The horse was totally taken as an accident.
No matter what the intention of the person who proposed to find the horse was, the development of the matter was not unexpected by Lu Qipei, not to mention the fact that the emperor himself intervened in this matter now, so there was no need for them to worry about anything. Therefore, she calmly listened to what happened this morning, and did not express any opinion, while Qi Yang on the other side confronted Nan Ping who did not know when.
Seeing this, Lu Qipei was about to pass by when he heard a voice behind him: "What happened last night?"
It was the voice of the prince. He didn't know when he came behind Lu Qipei, just after listening to her chatting with others. At this time, I don't know what I was thinking, and suddenly asked such a sentence.
When Lu Qipei heard the sound, he turned around and bowed to the prince first, and then said, "Your Highness wants to know, why not ask the princess?"
The prince didn't speak, his sharp sword eyebrows frowned slightly, revealing some threatening aura.
Lu Qipei was calm, and after saying that, he didn't seem to expect the prince to do anything. Seeing that he hadn't left, he told him everything about the search for King Wei last night, including the fact that the alien horse was poisoned to death, as well as the matter of vanilla baiting the horse.
After the prince heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter: "King Wei's horse was poisoned to death... Have you found out what the poison is?"
Lu Qipei shook his head: "I was in a hurry to find someone, so I just glanced at it. How can I know there are so many people? Besides, I'm not very good at this." After she finished speaking, she suddenly laughed: "But don't worry, Your Highness, the temple Lord Qing is the best at this."
The prince was slightly startled when he heard the words, and immediately wanted to understand something, and asked: "You and Qi Yang saw the car late at night last night, have you told the father all this?" He said, looking at the direction of the hunting ground: "That horse Did you bring the corpse back?"
Lu Qipei nodded, and did not hide it from him: "Your Majesty is very good, everyone can rest assured."
After saying this, Lu Qipei didn't say anything more to the prince, and went to look for Qiyang. This was the first time she had treated the prince so lightly, but the prince had no heart to understand her rudeness, and thought about her words while frowning.
Of course, the people who went to the hunting grounds to find horses found nothing in the end, but no one had time to wait for them to find them slowly.
The hunting ground accidentally broke into the tiger, and the King Wei was seriously injured when he fell from the horse. This year's autumn hunting is destined to end in haste. Fortunately, it didn't affect more people, and most of them also gained something from the half-day hunting.
The emperor didn't want to stay in the hunting ground for a long time, and King Wei also needed better diagnosis and treatment and medicinal materials to heal his wounds, even if he decided to end the autumn hunting early and return to Beijing. As for the judgment of this autumn hunt, it is naturally based on what was obtained yesterday.
As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly Qi Yang and Lu Qipei who benefited the most from this autumn hunt.
The two hunted a unique tiger in the hunting ground yesterday, and Qiu Shou has always used the preciousness of the prey as the criterion for judging, that is to hunt down the prey that is full of the hunting field, as long as they can't find a tiger or leopard, it is impossible to compare with it. .
In addition, the emperor also said yesterday that those who find the king of Wei will be rewarded. In the end, it was this young couple who finally found King Wei!
Jun Wu jokingly said that after returning to Beijing, the two of them must have received a lot of awards, and many people looked at Qi Yang and their eyes were sour - the annual autumn hunt, God knows how many generals are waiting to show their faces, and how many Junjie awaits fame. As a result, this whole mess has nothing to do with them. Not to mention that the limelight has been occupied by the young couple, what is the matter with the consort and a civil servant joining in the fun? !
But envy and jealousy are useless. The tiger was hunted by others, and the King of Wei was also found by others. What can they say? In the end, they could only go back to their respective tents, and then instruct the servants to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
It was a little late to return to Beijing at noon, but no one dared to delay the emperor's words.
When the time was right, the tents that had been hastily built for two days were almost dismantled, and the carriages were reloaded with their owners' luggage when they arrived. As for the aftermath, in addition to leaving a team of men and horses to continue to search for the "lost" alien horse in the hunting ground, the emperor only left Dali Siqing alone to be solely responsible for the matter.
No one objected to this decision, including the people of King Wei's lineage, who felt that the emperor's arrangement was very good.
After all, the unselfish image of Dali Siqing has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people of King Wei don't have to worry about his preference for the prince. At the same time, Dali Siqing's methods are also convincing enough. If even he can't find clues, others can't find anything.
With their different thoughts, before noon, Qiu Shou's team set foot on the road back to Beijing again.
In the carriage, His Royal Highness Qi Yang, who had gained the most from this trip, was not in a good mood, leaning in the arms of his concubine: "Apei, what do you think the royal father thinks? Brother Wei, it's better for him to recover from the injury, what's he doing? In such a hurry to return to Beijing, I can’t wait even a day.”
They were leaving suddenly at noon, and they didn't even have a good lunch. Not to mention the hurry, this time Qiu Shou had no fun at all, apart from being frightened and busy. There is no bonfire party, no emperor's reward, and no free time to play. In general, I do almost nothing, and I go back after a toss, which is extremely boring.
Qi Yang originally had high expectations for Qiu Shou, but now he is disappointed. As for the top prize? Don't be kidding, her consort is a civil servant, can she still be like those military generals, seal a general or divide some military power? !
In the end, most of them will only get some gold and silver rewards. Do they still lack those
Lu Qipei did not feel disappointed, on the contrary, his eyes were bright - their trip was not in vain, and they finally found some traces of Rongguo's shot. After that, no matter whether the Dali Siqing found anything or not, the emperor already had feelings for Rongguo in his heart. Dread arises!
Rongguo is newly established and the beam is at its peak. When the emperor is touched by the bottom line of inheritance, targeting the Rongguo is much stronger than their petty fights. What's more, there are only two important people in Rongguo. Besides Emperor Rong, the most dazzling one is Xie Yuan. Even if she doesn't mention anything, the emperor must have the deepest suspicion of Xie Yuan and his previous "merits".
In the days that followed, they would be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, which was much easier than working hard before. And hiding behind the scenes, you don't have to worry about Xie Yuangou jumping over the wall and doing something against them.
Of course, that's all in the future, and now it's more important to coax the daughter-in-law.
Listening to Qi Yang's complaint, Lu Qipei comforted him: "This time there are frequent accidents, the hunting ground is indeed not a place to stay for a long time, and it is understandable that Your Majesty is in a hurry to return to Beijing. But if Your Highness fails to have a good time, we will find time for ourselves next time. That's it for hunting."
Hearing this, Qi Yang gave her a scornful look: "Do I like hunting? It's just a pity that this good trip was interrupted. After returning to Beijing, if the royal father continues to work, you have to go back to Dali Temple to be on duty, except for Xiu Muna. One day, where will there be time to play?"
After listening to this, Lu Qipei was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Then how many days should I take leave to accompany you at home?"
Qi Yang glanced at her, and said angrily, "Have you forgotten that the Dali Temple chief was left in the hunting ground. If you, the young chief, take leave again, the Dali Temple will be headless these days, and if there is any urgent matter, you will have to to find you."
Lu Qipei thought about it too. He couldn't say anything, so he immediately changed the subject: "It's noon, and the afternoon lunch in the hall has not been used yet, but are you hungry?"
When I set off, I prepared lunch, but unfortunately I ate it in the car again. It was bumpy and swaying.
Seeing that Qi Yang was ignoring him, Lu Qipei raised his hand and opened a hidden compartment next to the carriage - where there would be some tea and snacks for eating on the road on weekdays. Today, the tea is also poured, but it is not a snack, but a few plates of dried meat and dried meat.
This jerky was cooked temporarily, and it was only cooked before departure, and the strong aroma of meat could still be smelled when it was served on the table.
Lu Qipei picked up a piece of jerky and brought it to Qiyang's mouth. The latter smelled the fragrance, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Qipei, and opened his lips to eat. The taste of the jerky is not bad, it is not greasy, not woody, and not lacking in chewiness, it is perfect as a snack.
Qi Yang became interested, sat up and asked, "This is what you prepared?"
Lu Qipei fed another piece of dried meat into Qi Yang's mouth: "It was the prey from yesterday, and I had them cook overnight."
As soon as Qi Yang heard it, he knew that Lu Qipei guessed that he was going to return to Beijing today, so he hurriedly made his prey into jerky and dried meat. Now that they are eating these things, Qi Yang is finally in a better mood, at least their prey from yesterday was not wasted.
She was eating deliciously when she heard Lu Qipei ask: "Your Highness thinks that rabbit meat is still delicious like this?"
They hunted quite a few rabbits yesterday, but when Qi Yang heard the rabbits, the first thing that came to his mind were those who were scared to death by tigers. After all, it was caught alive and alive, and she planned to take it home to coax the child, but unfortunately all died in the end!
At this moment, Qi Yang's eyes swept across the plates of meat in front of him, and he was suddenly silent - they were all rabbits anyway. Would Lu Sheng be happy if she brought these plates of rabbit meat back to the children as gifts
