Chapter 186: Investigate for me! We must find the murderer!
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
With this shout, the originally lively and joyful atmosphere disappeared completely in an instant. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and they dared not even breathe loudly. They looked at their noses and their noses at their hearts, not daring to even look at the expression of Emperor Jingyuan above them.
The Queen and the four concubines all looked pale, seeing how anxious the guards were, it must be a serious matter, and they all began to worry. After all, in an occasion like the winter hunt, assassinations and stabbings were not uncommon, so among them, except for the Queen who managed to keep calm, the others were panicked and became uneasy.
Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin also became a little uneasy.
The book only briefly mentions these twists and turns, and the whole text largely talks about the feelings of the male and female protagonists, as well as those unspeakable things, which has caused Qiao Rongjin to be confused now.
I hope nothing happens to Qi Heng. However, just thinking about it, you will know that as the male lead, Qi Heng has the aura of the male lead, so nothing should happen to him.
Suddenly, thinking that Chen was a reborn person, what happened today? She must know, and looking at her expression, she knew if something was wrong, so Qiao Rongjin turned around and looked at Chen.
Seeing that she looked calm and composed, without even a frown on her brows, I instantly felt more at ease.
It seems that Qi Heng is fine, otherwise Chen would not be so calm. After all, Qi Heng is not only important to herself, but also to Chen.
However, the princess's anxious and restless look instantly infected the children behind her, and they all looked uneasy, except for their precious son who was always calm.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
The entire scene was silent, and the solemn atmosphere was like an airtight net, covering everyone.
Emperor Jingyuan's face darkened instantly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?!"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rui and His Royal Highness Prince Chen have been ambushed. A large number of men in black are besieging them. Your Majesty, please send the Royal Guards to support them as soon as possible!" The Royal Guards were covered in blood and looked a little embarrassed.
Then, another guard came running over.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Huai has been assassinated!" The guards' faces were covered in blood, and it was obvious that the fight was very fierce.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan's expression became dangerous, and he immediately ordered in a deep voice, "Hua Changfeng! Go to the rescue!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
This time they brought five thousand guards. Hua Changfeng left fifteen hundred of them for protection and took the rest away to support Prince Huai and Prince Rui.
Emperor Jingyuan also asked Hua Changfeng and others to bring several imperial doctors with him.
After hearing about the people who were being besieged, the tranquility at the scene was completely broken.
The virtuous concubine managed to steady herself, but the faces of the princess and the children behind her all turned pale.
Qi You saw Qi Shao's body trembling uncontrollably, and even the annoying Qi Yi's eyes turned red. He was silent for a moment, but subconsciously reached out and pulled Qi Shao's sleeve.
"Father will be fine. Don't you still not believe in him?"
Although Qi You had no feelings for the man, he still understood him well. He would not do anything without being sure, so basically nothing would go wrong. He firmly believed in this.
Qi You's voice was very low, but Qi Zhao, Qi Yi and others around him, and even the princess, heard it. This sentence strangely calmed their restless hearts.
"Of course I believe it." Qi Shao nodded vigorously, then shook hands with Qi You's hand that was pulling his sleeve, as if this way he would not be afraid.
Qi You wanted to pull his hand back, but after thinking it over, he decided not to do so and just let Qi Shao hold his hand.
Chen glanced at Qi You calmly and thought to herself, he is worthy of being the one who will sit in that position with a smile in the future, at such a young age he has a calmness and perspective on things that his peers can't match. However, even so, he will never be the one who laughs last in this life.
Qiao Rongjin was delighted to see his son comforting others, a rare occurrence, and his eyes softened a lot.
The atmosphere at the scene was still heavy and everyone was on edge.
The court officials and royal family members present had at least one person who had just gone out hunting. What if they also encountered the man in black? This was their common feeling.
Emperor Jingyuan had an ugly and gloomy expression and no one knew what he was thinking. Although everyone was very anxious, they did not dare to make any sound and could only wait, but the waiting time was always extremely long.
After a long time, the hunters finally came back one after another. The ministers in the court breathed a sigh of relief to see their families return safely, but they were still in a heavy mood, because Prince Huai, Prince Rui and Prince Chen had not returned yet. Didn’t you see that His Majesty’s expression was getting uglier and uglier?
"Wang Fuyang, take some people to see what's going on?" Emperor Jingyuan spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After he finished speaking, he signaled to the guards below with his eyes, and they quickly left.
Seeing this, the queen became more and more uneasy, hoping that things were not as she imagined.
About half an hour after Wang Fuyang was out, the three princes came back.
However, everyone was so shocked that they all stood up with disbelief in their eyes.
"son!!!"
When Prince Chen's mother, Concubine Shu, saw her son lying unconscious on the stretcher, she stood up and rushed over, pushed the imperial physician away and shouted.
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! What happened to my son?!" Concubine Shu was in a state of panic. She didn't dare to support her son's body with her trembling hands, and tears streamed down her face.
The next second, she noticed something was wrong under the right sleeve, it was all blood, and now more blood was coming out. Concubine Shu tried her best to control her trembling hands and slowly lifted it up, but it was empty!!!
Her son’s right hand went out and then... it was gone?
"Ah!!! Who is it! Who is it? I will grind him to dust!" Concubine Shu screamed like crazy, and the next moment she couldn't bear the blow and fainted.
Then the two doctors who were trying to save Prince Chen had to shout, "Doctor Qin, come and see Concubine Shu!"
The condition of Prince Huai was also very serious. He was hit by an arrow in the ankle. He was in so much pain that he was sweating coldly and his face was extremely pale. After hearing Concubine Shu's voice, his eyes became more sinister and he finally fainted from the pain.
Although Prince Rui was the least injured, he had the most blood on his body among the three. He looked like a bloody man and was in a very miserable state, as if he was about to lose his balance. If it weren't for the guards supporting him, he would have collapsed long ago.
All the people from Prince Rui's Mansion and Prince Huai's Mansion rushed towards Prince Huai and Prince Rui.
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
The scene instantly became a mess.
Emperor Jingyuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and there was a storm in his eyes. He shouted loudly, "Liu Tong, Xiao Quan, investigate for me! We must find this murderer!"
