Chapter 320 Wei Yanwan 60
Wei Yanwan was not in a hurry to go back after coming out from the Queen's place. Instead, she strolled leisurely along the way.
Chunchan supported her, and the two of them looked at the scenery which was different from that in the capital, and for a moment they felt their minds broadened a lot.
"Isn't the Emperor ready for his eldest son to perform a filial son saving his father drama?"
"Yeah, it's about time."
"Alas... I hope Jiapin won't blame me for secretly inserting myself into her play and then stirring up trouble. Tsk... I feel a little unkind even when I say this."
Wei Yanwan said this, but looking at the expression on her face, it was clear that she didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Oh, you know what, I really feel a little reluctant to send her away like this. What a kind and philanthropic person she is. And Yongsheng, what a good target."
…
At this time, the Fourth Prince Yongsheng, who was called a target by Wei Yanwan, specifically instructed the guards to follow him from a distance and not to follow closely. He kicked his horse and rushed into the woods with his father.
Yong Qi followed closely behind and ran in. Seeing this, Ling Yunche, who was hiding among the guards, immediately became worried.
The Emperor insisted on taming the wild horse himself. The Fifth Prince was still young. If he was accidentally injured while following, then Yan Wan...
Thinking of this, he didn't care whether he would offend anyone and rushed in first.
The four of them entered the woods one after another, and Yongqi was soon caught up by Ling Yunche. He didn't know this guard, but seeing that he was respectful and dedicated to his duties, and didn't follow the emperor's temper, he took a good impression of him.
The two were walking together in the woods when they suddenly heard the neighing of an unfamiliar horse not far away. They looked at each other and ran towards the sound.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a wild horse straddling the emperor's body, but then the horse continued to run wildly in the bushes, looking very violent. If he was not careful, he might trample on the emperor.
Seeing this, Yongqi stumbled over, while Ling Yunche took two steps towards the horse, suddenly sat on its back, and tried his best to control the mad horse.
"Emperor, be careful—"
Yongqi opened his arms, his young body blocking Hongli's way. Ling Yunche controlled the horse and pulled it to its feet. The Fourth Prince, who had appeared from nowhere, shot an arrow at the right moment, hitting the horse's neck. The arrow must have pierced the main artery, and the wild horse struggled for a few seconds before falling heavily to the ground, throwing Ling Yunche off its back.
"Father, I am late in rescuing you."
As Yongsheng spoke, he and Yongqi reached out to help the emperor up. Only then did they discover that the emperor had been hit by an arrow in his left calf.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in rescuing you."
Ling Yunche naturally saw it as well and quickly knelt on the ground. At this moment, a group of guards also rushed over. The leader glanced at the guards kneeling on the ground and said nothing, but quickly sent someone to protect the emperor. The others followed the direction pointed by the two princes and Ling Yunche.
At this time, it can be seen that everyone's faces are full of panic, and they almost try their best to chase after him after receiving the order.
No matter what, the duty of these guards is to protect the emperor. Now they have let the emperor face the assassin alone and get injured. Even if the emperor himself had previously said not to let them follow, and the Fourth Prince took charge of everything, it would be difficult for them to atone for their sins.
Hongli glanced at everyone and said nothing, but his silence made it even more difficult to grasp.
Soon, the news that the emperor was assassinated and injured during the hunting trip spread throughout the Mulan Hunting Ground. All the concubines in the harem and the accompanying imperial physicians rushed to the emperor's side as quickly as possible.
However, everyone could see that the Emperor was in a bad mood. It was no wonder. An assassin had sneaked into the heavily fortified Mulan Paddock, even successfully wounding the Emperor. If it weren't for the two princes and the guard who came to his rescue in time, the Emperor would have been...
At this time, Jiapin, who rushed in shouting, seemed particularly abrupt. The emperor, whose mood was already not very good due to his injury, became even more irritable. He had to wave his hand, drive them all out, and ordered someone to call Fuheng.
Of course, no one knew what the Emperor was thinking. That night, he had thought he would sleep next to the Empress, whom he trusted, but instead he came to her. Wei Yanwan glanced at his heavy eyes and said nothing more. She continued to carefully and attentively help him to sleep as usual.
At night, Wei Yanwan was not sound asleep. As expected, she heard Hongli shouting in his dream: "Who is it? Who wants to harm me? Who wants to harm me!"
Yan Wan, who was sleeping outside, quickly got up and patted the emperor's back soothingly: "Your Majesty, are you in a nightmare? You forgot that the assassin has been caught. I believe Master Fu Heng will be able to find the murderer soon. Everything is fine now."
Hongli let out a long sigh, a layer of sweat already on his head.
"But the effect of the medicine has worn off, and Your Majesty's legs are hurting again? I'll go call the imperial physician in to change the medicine for Your Majesty."
Wei Yanwan was about to get out of bed, but Hongli held her hand and said, "No need."
"I don't even have a single trustworthy person around me. Even when I came to Mulan Paddock, there were people trying to assassinate me."
Wei Yanwan then caressed his shoulders and pulled the quilt higher to protect Hongli's heart: "Your Majesty must have been hurt by those evil people, that's why he thinks this way."
"Since you ascended the throne, you have diligently governed the people and worked tirelessly to bring about the current peace and prosperity. A king like you, who is so popular among the people, is naturally surrounded by loyal ministers and filial sons. As for those sinister villains, they are nothing more than rats and sparrows, not worth your concern."
Although these were flattering words, Wei Yanwan said them sincerely, and her appearance was beautiful, which made her seem particularly sincere, as if she really believed it from the bottom of her heart.
Hongli gradually recovered, and ordered someone to come in. He promoted Ling Yunche to the second-class imperial guard, and at Yanwan's insistence, he called the imperial physician.
After changing the medicine, she ordered someone to boil some hot water and personally wiped the emperor's body with her belly sticking out.
"Just let the servants do these jobs."
Although Hongli said that, looking at his squinting eyes and lazy look, you can tell that he is very satisfied with Wei Yanwan's arrangement.
This dog emperor is so obsessed with face that he suffers in vain. Although he cares about this matter very much in his heart, he is unwilling to show it on his face, as if he is showing weakness.
Naturally, he didn't want people to know that he had a nightmare and was sweating because of this.
