Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
At this time, Concubine Ling looked at Concubine Lin coldly and snorted in her heart.
Was it because His Majesty's partiality for Concubine Lin yesterday that made her feel so high-minded?
I have reminded her long ago that in His Majesty's heart, no one can compare to the Imperial Concubine.
However, Concubine Ling also had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Didn't the Imperial Concubine also win away His Majesty's heart step by step?
This Concubine Lin is ambitious and very good at disguising herself. She says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. After a long time, who knows if Your Majesty's heart will not change again?
Su Jingyao seemed oblivious to all the noise around her, her face as calm as water.
If Concubine Lin really followed, she would turn around and return to the tent without hesitation.
Afterwards, the concubines began to bow and leave one after another.
Fuquan presented His Majesty's bow and arrow and placed it on His Majesty's strong warhorse. Jun Zechen walked to the horse and examined it carefully.
We will use this bow and arrow to take Yaoyao hunting later, so there must be no mistakes.
Su Jingyao inadvertently glanced at Ling Fei who was standing next to her, and couldn't help feeling a little strange. Why was she still not leaving?
Just as she was wondering, Concubine Lin's personal maid walked past Su Jingyao, leading Concubine Lin's horse.
Suddenly, the horse seemed to go crazy, raising its hooves and kicking straight at Su Jingyao.
Miaoyun knew some martial arts, and she was startled at this moment. She subconsciously wanted to stand in front of her master, but someone was faster than her.
Su Jingyao had turned her back, but she didn't feel any pain in her body. She turned her head and took a closer look.
It turned out to be Concubine Ling!
Concubine Ling was looking at her with an extremely complicated look, and the horse's hoof had already landed heavily on her back.
She couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, "Ah!"
When Jun Zechen heard the exclamation, he quickly turned around and looked over. His eyes instantly darkened and his expression became as cold as ice.
He reacted extremely quickly. He quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver hanging on the warhorse beside him, and then shot it out. The arrow accurately pierced the horse's throat, and the horse fell to the ground and died instantly.
As a result, Concubine Ling was not seriously injured.
Jun Zechen hurriedly strode to Su Jingyao and looked at her with concern in his eyes, "Are you hurt?"
There was still a trace of panic on Su Jingyao's face. She shook her head in fear, then quickly turned around and looked at Ling Fei worriedly.
"How is Concubine Ling? Miaoyun, quickly call the imperial physician."
Just now, Jun Zechen was frightened by the sudden attack of Ma on Su Jingyao. Only then did he realize that it was Ling Fei who saved her, and a slightly complicated emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
"Fuquan, send someone to arrange a sedan chair to take Concubine Ling back to the tent for medical treatment."
Concubine Lin looked at the horse that had died in front of her, blood still gushing from its neck, her face filled with fear.
She knelt on the ground trembling, her voice trembling, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Imperial Concubine, please forgive me, Concubine Ling, please forgive me, I don't know why this horse got out of control."
Jun Zechen looked at Concubine Lin with a hint of indifference. Such a thing happened yesterday, and it happened again today.
He said coldly, "Fuquan, take all the servants in the horse farm away for interrogation. Concubine Lin, go back to the tent. You are not allowed to leave the tent until I have investigated thoroughly."
Tears welled up in Concubine Lin's eyes. She looked at His Majesty with great grievance and said with a sob, "Yes, Your Majesty."
