I was reborn by the emperor

Chapter 57

It rained last night, it started to rain heavily in the middle of the night, and the rain stopped completely at dawn. The heat that gathered and scattered was suddenly dissipated by this rain, and this year's hot summer is about to pass.

As soon as the sun came out, the heat was transpiring, and the moisture in the soft soil disappeared. The wind still smelled of wet mud, but the ground under our feet was completely dry.

Lu Jieming leaned against a banyan tree. The branches of the banyan tree grew and grew. The crown of the tree was like clouds in the sky, layered upon layer. On the ground, almost bent.

He watched quietly for a while, the bow and arrow were placed on the ground by him, and he sat on the ground, listening to the sound of hunting and the wailing of wild beasts that could not wait to be heard from all over the forest.

The phoenix eye looked around in the woods, the birds flapped their wings and scattered, the leaves fluttered and fell, and a few fell on his shoulders, and he didn't move, letting the leaves wantonly search for a habitat on his body.

I don't know how long it took, the forest became quiet and noisy, noisy and quiet again, and the sound of all kinds of noises slowly approached.

He bent his elbows and stood up straight, drew the bow fully, and tensed the muscles of his arms. He closed one eye and narrowed the other, and his crow's eyelashes were intertwined. At this moment, The sword left the string, the tip of the sword was shining brightly in the sun, emitting a cold light, accompanied by a scream, it pierced into the eyes of the tiger that had been waiting around him for a long time.

The eyes were already fragile, the tiger was mad with pain, the attack was disorderly, Lu Jieming didn't move at the same place, raised the sword, shot, all in one go, went straight to the throat, the tiger fell down immediately.

The tiger has a huge physique, and when it fell down, the feet of the trembling people were slightly numb.

It is said that there are only two tigers in the forest today, and this is one of them.

Lu Jieming used the side of his foot to stick the tiger's warm body, and the muscles in the throat were still beating. He waited for a while with his hands behind his back, watching the last moment of such a huge monster entangled with death. .

His brows and eyes were silent, and there was no major reaction.

For him, this hunt is just one of many arrangements, everything is in order, and he is not afraid of any side accidents.

It is imperative for him to return to the palace this time.

This movement scared many animals away, Lu Jieming raised the corners of his eyes slightly, cut off the tiger's ear and put it in his pocket, when he was about to leave this place, he turned his head and looked around the forest meaningfully.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked up and watched in the densely layered canopy, the sword head was polished very sharply, it was almost impossible to hide in the sun, Lu Jieming was dazzled by the shining sword point, he Without changing his expression, his expression was calm, his long legs were unhurried, and he chose a new forest.

During the period, I had several face-to-face meetings with the crown prince. The crown prince shot Zheng Huan with a rabbit shot, and he was accompanied by several wealthy children who flattered him attentively.

There was a rabbit that couldn't run away, and its head fell on his feet. The rabbit was trembling, and its big ears rubbed against his robe.

The prince ran over chasing the rabbit. It was a snow-white red-eyed rabbit. He didn't know what he ate, but he was white and fat. When Lu Jieming pulled the rabbit into his arms, The rabbit took advantage of the situation and burrowed into his sleeve again.

"Seven...brother?" The crown prince scratched his head and called out uncertainly.

The prince also knows that his memory is not very good. The seventh younger brother has been away from the palace for many years. Although there are still traces of his childhood in his appearance, there are not many left.

He is tall and tall, and looks much taller than him, he said angrily, "This year is fourteen...?"

His indescribable voice trembled, and he couldn't believe it. Why are his brothers getting better and better one by one?

Lu Jieming said "Yes", picked up the rabbit with one hand, knelt down and saluted, "His Royal Highness please greet me."

The crown prince has not seen this seventh brother for a long time, and the seventh brother looked cold again. He forced out a three-point smile, and stepped back a few steps, not wanting to talk to him, "Since this rabbit has found the emperor Brother, then the palace will be handed over to the emperor."

Lu Jieming bowed his head and thanked the prince for the reward according to the etiquette.

Just when the prince returned to the dandy's house, Lu Jieming suddenly said, "It's sunny today, if your highness the prince is tired, you can take a look at the treetops, there are spots of light, and you have your own scenery."

His voice was as cold as his appearance, and during the voice change, his voice was inevitably hoarse, the prince frowned and responded hastily.

Lu Jieming looked at the figure of the prince and the message was at the end of the forest, the dude was shouting loudly, the noisy atmosphere could be heard clearly from such a distance.

He has done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous. After reminding him, whether he can find out is the prince's business.

The rabbit's fluff protruded from Lu Jieming's fingers, making his wet palm dry and soft. He lifted his lips and touched the rabbit's mouth with his index finger.

The rabbit would bite when it was in a hurry. He touched it several times, but the rabbit didn't open its mouth, and even rubbed its finger flatteringly.

"You are better than him," he pointed out, stuffed the rabbit into his pocket, and pulled out its rabbit head, "Be good, if you make too much trouble, I will throw you away."

The rabbit had been frightened for a long time, and obediently nested in the inner pocket, nesting with the tiger's ears.

The day was a bit sweltering, and the sweat covered his black clothes and ran down his backline. He shot the arrow quickly, and quickly ended his hunting.

Prey is not much, but fine.

It's enough to take it for a business trip.

Leaning on the tree trunk, he calmed down and panted slowly. He pulled the rabbit out of the bag. The soft white fur was already stained with the blood of the beast. It was quite pitiful, and its nose kept sniffing.

The sky was high and the air was clear, and the smell of blood was blown far away by the wind. He took a deep breath, looked at the little thing in his arms, and smiled suddenly. He didn't like such a little thing very much. Broken, but someone likes it.

If she could get that clown dog back, the rabbit would probably like it too.

His eyelashes trembled, and he subconsciously thought about what Xu Lianlang was doing at this moment, and sometimes he felt that he was too clingy.

Sister Sanhuang also said the same thing. She was clingy when she was young, but now she is even clingier when she is older.

When I was young, I was clingy to no one, but when I was older, I was only clingy to one person.

The rabbit was warm and rubbed back and forth, even cleaning the dirty blood from when he cut the ear of the prey.

The rabbit's fur was wet with blood, and he indulged it all, allowing it to crawl around on his lap and belly. He pondered, stared at the rabbit for a while, and raised his head as if he couldn't help it.

The head is tilted at an angle, and the high-tipped hair tail sweeps the back of the neck, and the phoenix eyes can easily see the dark clothes behind the thick tree trunk.

The atmosphere became anxious, and the air seemed to freeze strangely. Lu Jieming stretched his legs, and after curling them up for a long time, the bends of his legs felt a little sore.The growing bones are very grinding, and the growing pains are still there.

There was tiredness between his indifferent brows and eyes, "I've followed me all the way, I don't know what kind of prey this young man will take for business."

After parting from the prince, this person followed suit, keeping a distance of ten steps away from him, and it didn't feel good to be stared at by a pair of eyes.

Lu Jieming didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but as the ghost of this person lingered, he wanted to.

The visitor had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with dimples embedded in his cheeks, and he had an upright face. When he opened his mouth, he said his name, "Xia Dou Xihui."

Looking at each other, Lu Jieming staggered indifferently, walked towards the man with his legs, his dark eyes were suppressed by sharp thick eyebrows, suddenly an arrow feather came from the quiet forest, almost brushing against Dou Xihui's shoulder. After a while, Lu Jieming's bow came out and sent the arrow point flying.

He squinted his eyes, flipped his wrist, quickly took a sword, and shot towards the place where the huge tree crown flashed with light, and something fell in response.

is an individual.

He is not dead yet, his chest is still rising and falling, his eyes are half-closed, and he is dressed as a hunter. He should be a folk hunter who hunted together today.

At the same time, screams began to appear everywhere in the forest, arrow feathers shuttled through the forest, and innocent guards shot arrows one after another.

Dou Xi clapped her palms back, not worried about the scene, but calmly continued to try to chat with Lu Jieming, "Your Highness is good at arrows."

Lu Jieming raised his eyebrows, "Didn't the Master have already discovered it? After observing me for so long, he is just waiting to see what I do."

Dou Xihui didn't refute, the two of them looked at the person who tried to attack together, he spoke lightly and slowly,

"It rained last night, the soil is soft, and there are footprints under the branches of the banyan tree. The ground has been dry this morning. Such traces can only be left by someone who explored at night. Their level is very low, and the canopy can't be hidden. If you look closely, you can see the bright spot of the sword tip in the sunlight."

"Unfortunately, no one has been able to find out. Not only that, but the crown prince has done it too."

He changed the subject again, "Since that's the case, Your Highness can tell His Majesty about this, and you'll get a head start. You can also take down the prince along the way."

Lu Jieming pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on him again, "I heard that the son of Dou has always acted in an upright manner, and he is also the leader of the palace servants. This is where your responsibility lies. This incident will not only implicate His Royal Highness, but even you will not be spared." Bar."

While speaking, some guards on the outside rushed into the woods.

"Then why don't you hurry back to your father's side?"

The two had their own thoughts, they were playing games with words, and at the same time they were silent, looking at the same place, looking for the area where the emperor was.

Lu Jieming is no stranger to the current situation in the court. The Taifu and him talked about the treacherous Bo Yun in the court every day, and the young talent mentioned repeatedly was this young man, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was deeply loved by his father. , the chief of the servants in the palace.

Most of the children of outstanding family background are Adou who can't be supported, this one is an exception.

Lu Jieming took out the dagger, and probed the man's breath with his pale fingertips. The breath was weak, but he would die by himself in an hour, but Lu Jieming didn't give him this time, he kicked the man on the head. , stepped on the man's shoulder with his toes, making him unable to struggle at all, and quickly inserted the dagger into the man's chest.

He found the fatal point in one blow, and stabbed at the heart, but it was not enough to penetrate, and he held the handle of the dagger vigorously and stirred it downward.

The blood spurted out, Lu Jieming didn't move, the blood spattered on his body again, his right hand was wet from the elbow down.

A 14-year-old boy, his tactics are ruthless, and he is not sloppy.

After getting rid of this person, Lu Jieming didn't even look at Dou Xihui, and went straight to the opposite place where the guards gathered.

Dou Xihui pinched his finger bones and rattled, his slack expression became tense, and a crazy color appeared on his face.

Finally yes, it's time to place your bets.

It's no wonder that the emperor wanted to trap His Highness the Seventh Prince firmly after all these twists and turns. Now it seems that the bet can be placed on him.

Dou Xihui wandered around the forest a few more times, and captured three hunters who were trying to assassinate alive.

Only when there is a living mouth can he be interrogated, and this can be regarded as his making up for his mistakes.

It was almost time before he called his personal guards and left the forest.

Outside the forest, everyone knelt together, and Orion's corpses were laid out in a row. It seemed that in desperation, everyone around the emperor was killed with one blow, and no one was left alive.

Dou Xihui knelt down on these three people, bluntly saying that he was not good enough to protect them.

The emperor was sitting on the main seat, worried and worried, and asked Wang Fulu to go to the trial in person to find out the instigators.

Some Orion couldn't help but began to yell, "Dog Emperor! Do you know how many people have been displaced by the drought in the northwest, how many people have starved to death, and the common people have no means of living. You are still having fun here, what kind of master of the world are you worthy of!"

When a person is about to die, he is extremely courageous, and all kinds of swear words come out of his mouth in succession.

During the period, someone wanted to cover the man's mouth, but the emperor raised his hand and stopped the movement, "Let him speak, and I will listen."

At the end of the hearing, it was nothing more than the same thing. It was obvious that the disaster relief funds had been collected early, but it was not used in the local area.

There is no need to investigate those reasons, the emperor will understand.

Officials and officials protect each other, and officials at all levels take a little while others take a little, and in the end there is not much left.

With a sound of "snap", the emperor threw the teacup in his hand onto the prince who had been kneeling with his head bowed. Immediately, the prince's head began to bleed.

The blood dripped into the soil, very much like the acacia flowers embroidered on the robes of the sixth prince today.

The strong tea in the teacup had just been brewed, the porcelain pieces were scattered, and the hot water rolled all over the prince's face.

The prince was stunned by the blow and couldn't open his eyes after being burned, but he didn't dare to utter a single syllable.

To him, the father is the emperor, the father is the king, and he has the responsibility of being a refugee in the northwest, and the problem of being surrounded by Mulan as an assassin. The two things are entangled, and the prince has completely panicked.

He didn't even dare to intercede with his father.

Pointing at the prince, the emperor gasped for several breaths before holding back the cursing words that had already squeezed to his lips, leaving him with the last face, which can be regarded as saving face for the royal family, "Wang Fulu, even with him, you together I would like to know what role he has played in this matter."

If you don't know it at all, then you will be called an idiot, incompetent, and lose the position of prince.

If he wrote and directed it himself, he would be known as a king and father murderer. Not only would he lose his position as the crown prince, but he would also meet the King of Hades directly.

After all, the crown prince is about to be replaced, and this Dayan may also have a change of heaven.

Everyone was in danger, and under the emperor's fury, even the birds stopped chirping.

It wasn't until the imperial envoy appeared that the emperor's face softened.

The head of the imperial hospital knelt on the ground, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he held an arrow feather with both hands, and the tip of the sword was still stained with blood.

The emperor only glanced at it, then staggered away because he couldn't bear it.

"How about Jieming?"

The court envoys continued: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Highness was hit by an arrow in the chest. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous. Fortunately, it only hurt the flesh. It is not a serious problem, but there is a lot of blood, and the wound is on the chest. In the future, you must take care of it more carefully."

The emperor touched his eyes, covered his face with his palm, and said softly after a while, "That's good."

"I'm going to see him."

The court envoy said: "Your Highness is still in a coma. The wound was touched when he drew the sword, which increased the depth of the wound. His Highness passed out from the pain, and he has not yet woken up."

"It's okay, I'll go and see him."

Just now he was a high-ranking monarch, but now he is completely reduced to a real father.

When the emperor got up, everyone had to follow. The emperor stopped all their movements and reiterated, "Zhen, go see your own son by yourself, and don't follow anyone."

Lu Kuangji's silver teeth were almost gnawed, and his eyes were cracked. What is this? He made a wedding dress for someone else.

At that time, arrows and feathers were in formation, and everyone was in danger. Orion, who was ambushing in all directions, was red-eyed. He followed his father closely, but he couldn't take care of himself. For a moment, a thought came to his mind that the prince was already inseparable. If the father really If you die here, the only person who is qualified to sit on the dragon chair is yourself.

So, just because of the thought that came up at this moment, he was dazed, watching the arrow cut through the air and stabbing straight at the father, he stopped approaching, wishing that the arrow would be faster, faster, and stab Go up, stab up, it's all over.

But Lu Jieming escaped halfway.

Isn't he only fourteen?How could he move so neatly and powerfully, within a few moves, he saved his father from suffering.

Just when everything was about to end, he was absolutely right, that arrow could have been blocked sideways, and as long as he leaned back a little, he could have avoided it.

But Lu Jieming didn't, he still stood up straight and went towards the arrow, the sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh suddenly exploded in Lu Kuangji's ears.

It seemed that everything around him was distorted, the colorful world turned into black and white, and his brain exploded. Lu Kuangji felt that the arrow had stuck in his body, and he wished that the arrow fell on him.

The father turned his head and saw Lu Jieming, who was shot down by the arrow, and hugged him distressedly. His father was kind and filial to his son. Lu Kuangji saw Lu Jieming's phoenix eyes looking straight at him, and blinked lightly. The black pupils were bright, covered with a mask of innocence, but inside were ridicule.

Lu Kuangji blushed in these phoenix eyes, full of anger and anger.

At this moment, Lu Jieming has become the best son, with all his sharpness, lying quietly and obediently in his father's arms, hiding all the emotions in his heart.

Lu Kuangji knew that he was being used.

Being used by Lu Jieming, the person he has always looked down upon.

The father did not die, he spent so much effort to bring down the prince, but he also invited a stronger and more cunning opponent for himself.

But how is Lu Jieming worthy, how is he worthy, what is the identity of his mother, and what is the identity of his mother and concubine.

The red clothes on his body seemed to be covered with dust, like his master, he lost his luster, murmured in disbelief, "Impossible, Lu Jieming can't compete with himself."

Dou Xihui saw all this in his eyes, and the two questions he and Lu Jieming asked each other in the forest were clearly revealed.

Lu Jieming didn't expose it in advance, but he just waited for this moment to completely arouse the emperor's sympathy and speed up the process of returning to the palace at the greatest cost.

As for myself, I was negligent in my duties, but it was just to verify again whether the object of my bet could bear all my weight.

A person who is so cruel to himself will become a great weapon in the future.

Dou Xi glanced back at Lu Kuangji, the environment is too favorable to raise a Mingjun Holy Lord.

Xu Lianlang stayed at the wooden bamboo house in the mountain corner to take care of Rong Zhao these few days, and the concubine Rong was taken care of by maidservants, so they didn't meet much, which saved a lot of trouble.

Rong Zhao was already four years old, and the four-year-old girl squatted in front of her, pestering her to comb her hair in a bun.

It is natural for a girl to love beauty, so Xu Lianlang brought her hairpin and combed it in various buns for her.

Rong Zhao was very excited, hugged her neck, and sent a soft kiss to Xu Lianlang's cheek.

The girl is chubby, with her braids curled up, she is very cute.

Xu Lianlang held her face and looked carefully. They were brother and sister. Although the facial features were not so similar, Lu Jieming's shadow could still be seen in the silhouette.

"Brother hasn't been here for a long time." Rong Zhao suddenly said, "I miss him so much."

"Sister, do you want to?"

Xu Lianlang's hands holding her face trembled, Lu Jieming had been away for five days, it seemed that they hadn't been separated for so long in the past few years.

After a long time, so long that Rong Zhao almost forgot what he asked, Xu Lianlang said, "I don't want to."

"If you think about it now, how will you survive if you leave in the future?"

Rong Zhao was young, but he was very sensitive to the emotional changes of adults. She hugged Xu Lianlang's neck, put it close to her ear, and patted her chest with her small hands, "But, my brother said that he misses you very much, misses you very much. "

Xu Lianlang didn't expect that such a young person could speak so well, thinking that she was about to speak to comfort him, when Rong Zhao covered her mouth with his little hand.

"Shh, tell my sister a secret."

She pretended to be mysterious, and looked at the surrounding environment with big peach eyes, and only told Xu Lianlang in a decent manner after Mammy Zhang went to the back to cook.

"My brother came here once before he left."

"Brother came so early, his body was wet and covered with dew." She tried to recall, and pointed to her eyes with her little finger, "Brother's eyes are all red, as if he has cried too. "

Xu Lianlang's heart suddenly ached.

"He said that my sister will probably come to see me these few days, and tell me to be clingy and leave my sister here. He is afraid that you will be angry with you again at the Yunge Pavilion."

"I was so sleepy at the time, I can't remember many things clearly." Rong Zhao pouted aggrievedly, "Brother finally came here once, not to see Rong Zhao, but just to see my sister."

"But I'm not angry with my sister, and I really like my sister."

The little guy in her arms seemed to want to prove the authenticity of what he said, and kept getting into her arms, and all the buns that were combed just now were all messed up.

Xu Lianlang's heart was also disturbed.

How can she be treated like this.

At the same time, in the luxurious tent, candles were lit one after another, candle tears piled up, and a maidservant silently cleaned it up before leaving lightly.

Dou Xihui knelt on the soft gold thread red and green crabapple carpet, His Majesty's anger has subsided, he came to plead guilty.

His Majesty sighed for a long time, his voice lowered a little, as if he was afraid of waking up the person who had been sleeping for a long time on the bed.

In the emperor's tent, the emperor lived on a small couch with layers of veils on the big bed, and a group of imperial doctors were outside the tent.

Conditions are limited, His Majesty tried his best to give the best.

Dou Xihui made up for his mistakes, His Majesty clearly rewarded and punished him, so he got up to leave with lingering fear.

Everyone in the tent was cautious, and not many people paid attention to his movements. He bypassed the imperial doctors and slowly approached the sleepy boy.

The young man's beautiful face was hidden in the thin silk quilt of white snow, and the white skin seemed to blend into one, only the dark eyebrows and eyes were frowning.

The young man was really well-born, like an ink painting, with splashes of ink, suitable in shades, easily catching people's attention.

It's just that he seems too weak, his chest rises and falls very little, his lips are chapped and pale, and there are bloodshots on the beautiful shallow lips.

Dou Xihui was surprised, thinking that he had reserved a way out for himself, and with his kung fu, it was a breeze to quietly reduce the extent of his injury.

But he didn't realize that, in order to strive for truth, he could be so ruthless to himself, using flesh and blood to win the opportunity, he suddenly had a high fever last night, after several times of tossing, this appearance really seemed to be terminally ill.

The young man's body was thin, and he was trapped in the soft bedding. The blue-purple blood vessels were clearly visible on the skin, and the imperial doctor was taking the pulse.

Dou Xi asked back, "How?"

The imperial physician shook his head again and again, this imperial physician is a family friend with the old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion, and he treats Dou Xi as a family when he returns home, and does not shy away from him, "It's strange to say, although the wound is deep, but the medicine used is good, last night The wound began to ooze blood and tear again, and the cause of the high fever could not be found. I guessed that His Highness the Seventh Prince had a heart knot, and taking advantage of this illness, the heart knot invaded wantonly, and he himself didn't seem to want to get better."
