Chapter 51: The Imperial Palace Hunting Ground
. :
The small hunting ground is located in the southeast of the imperial palace. Although everyone calls it a small hunting ground, it is actually not small at all. It covers a large area and is not much different from the imperial palace. If you think about it carefully, this small hunting ground does not really belong to the imperial palace, but is a natural hunting ground. Moreover, in the southeastern part is a cliff, which is thousands of feet high and can be said to be a natural barrier.
Because Yun Tailing was there at the time, Qianhe Liyou brought him along, with Feng Ying and others following behind. The small hunting ground suddenly became lively.
"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor." The guard in charge of guarding the hunting ground came forward first.
"Where's the horse?" Qianhe Liyou ignored the guards and asked Long Xizhao.
Long Xizhao looked at the guard inquiringly, and the guard answered very cleverly: "I have arranged everything. Your Majesty and Lord Long, do you want to test the horses now?"
"Of course. Go and get the horse."
"Yes, I'll go right away, uh." The guard hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong? Why are you hesitating? Just say what you want to say." Of course, Long Xizhao noticed the guard's abnormality and asked with some displeasure.
"Well, it's like this, Concubine Ning is also in the hunting ground. Would you like me to ask someone to look for her?"
This time, Long Xizhao did not dare to say much, but just looked at the emperor inquiringly.
"No need, just go and get the horse out." She seemed to have not seen Qin Ning for some time, probably since he fell into the water last time.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The guards quickly brought two horses, one black and one white, extremely strong, with powerful limbs, and looked very tough, but the horses seemed a little anxious. Qianhe Liyou looked at Long Xizhao with a hint of amusement, as she seemed to have never seen this woman take action.
Long Xizhao also noticed the emperor's eyes, "Your Majesty, this horse has just been captured and has a bit of a temper. However, even the most aggressive horse will be obedient in your hands. I just don't know which one you have chosen."
Qian Heliyou didn't say anything and walked forward. The guards wanted to hold them back because the two horses had extremely explosive personalities and they were afraid that they would hurt the emperor. However, the emperor waved his hand to stop them. Then everyone was surprised to find that the two horses stopped being restless for some reason and became extremely quiet. However, this quietness did not last long because everyone was surprised to find that the two horses actually started to act as if they were extremely scared.
"My dear Long, this horse is really well-behaved." Qian Heliyou turned around and said in a very innocent tone, but the smile in her eyes made her look evil and full of intimidating charm. For a moment, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
"Yes, he is very well behaved." Long Xizhao nodded foolishly. It turned out that the emperor was so handsome. It was really amazing. No wonder all the men in the palace were obsessed with the emperor. If she were a man, she would probably fall in love with such an emperor.
"Long Qing, come back to your senses. I'll leave these two horses to you. They will be very well behaved." She would rather not have such horses. Horses are very spiritual animals, so even if she tried her best to hide her breath, the horses would be able to feel it. This is the instinct of animals, just like her bloodthirstiness. Therefore, these ordinary horses would not be able to stand steadily when they saw her, let alone be worthy of the title of famous horses. She did not want to use her magic power on horses again, because there would only be one consequence, and that was death.
"Your Majesty, you don't like this one. But it doesn't matter. I will ask people to continue looking." No matter how stupid she was, she could see that there was something strange. What's more, she didn't think she was stupid.
"Forget it. You go and try the horse. I want to go for a walk." She felt that there seemed to be something strange deep in the forest and wanted to go and take a look.
Long Xizhao wanted to say something, but Qianhe Liyou had already left, and Yun Tailing had been following them. At this time, he could only watch the emperor leave.
"Well, Noble Lady Yun, please look at this." Long Xizhao looked at Yun Tailing with some embarrassment. This emperor was making things too difficult for her. Not only did he leave, but he also left a man here, and he was her concubine. Isn't the emperor afraid that she would be tempted by his beauty? Bah, bah, bah, what a mess she was thinking.
"Lord Long, please go ride your horse and don't worry about me." Yun Tailing smiled calmly, which made Long Xizhao feel less embarrassed. She bowed and walked towards the two horses. In fact, it was a bit rude to leave Lord Yun here like this and leave by herself, but Lord Yun had a calm attitude and she felt that she should not disturb him.
At this time, Qian He Li You had already gone deep into the forest. She suddenly stopped.
"Anhui, go inform the Anbu people to select someone who knows medical skills as soon as possible. I can use them."
"I will go now," An Hui said with some hesitation. If he left the emperor now, there would be no one to protect him. Besides, this was in the hunting ground. If there was any danger,
"Go ahead, I'm fine." Understanding what An Hui was thinking, Qianhe Liyou said directly.
An Hui hesitated for a moment before obeying the order and leaving, leaving Qianhe Liyou alone to move forward. As she walked, the forest became quieter and quieter. The animals huddled aside and dared not move. They did not look ferocious at all. Qianhe Liyou did not make things difficult for them. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, she finally saw the reason why she came here. Qin Ning was holding a long sword and confronting a black animal that looked like a horse and a deer. This horse-like and deer-like animal was the reason that attracted her here.
Qian He Li You did not intentionally hide her figure, so the two sides in the confrontation discovered her presence almost at the same time.
Qin Ning widened her eyes in surprise, not being able to believe it and not understanding how it was possible for her to see the emperor at this moment. The animal's reaction was even stranger, its ink-black eyes were like human eyes, with fear, confusion, caution, and other emotions flashing in them, making people feel that they were not only a pair of animal eyes, but also a pair of eyes full of wisdom.
And even though the animal was afraid of her, it still looked at her defensively and did not let down its guard. It was afraid but not cowardly. She became interested in this animal that she didn't know what to call it.
"Come here, I won't hurt you." Qian Heliyou's entire body was like the animal in front of him, and his low tone was very confusing.
The animal's eyes showed confusion and doubt, then scrutiny and consideration. Qian Heliyou just let the animal look at him and assess him calmly and quietly. Qin Ning stared at the animal cautiously from the side, but was smart enough not to disturb him. He had seen the emperor's methods and believed that the animal would not hurt him.
Finally, the animal moved. It slowly and tentatively walked towards Qianhe Liyou and stopped about three feet away from her.
This time it was Qianhe Liyou's turn to walk towards the animal. The animal shrank back but did not retreat. Qianhe Liyou's evil smile appeared on her face again. She slowly but firmly placed her hand on the animal's back.
"Very nice little thing, what's your name?" Although she didn't know what this animal was, it was definitely not an ordinary creature, otherwise it would not possess such spirituality and wisdom.
Of course the animals would not answer, and Qian He Li You knew that, so she continued, "Let me give you a name. How about Mo Ling, dark as ink, with a carefree soul? Do you like this name?"
Although she knew that the animal would not answer, she believed that it would understand what she said. Sure enough, the animal responded and nodded its big head as if in agreement, which made Qianhe Liyou reveal a satisfied expression.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The matter was settled, and Qin Ning had no choice but to speak up.
