Chapter 108: To find your majesty

The people who descended on the quickly responded, and they really found King Wei on the slope. It's just that King Wei seemed to have fallen a lot. He didn't know the personnel at this moment, and the injuries all over his body made people afraid to move easily.
Qi Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, sent his attendants back to report the letter, and wanted to see the situation in person.
Lu Qipei stopped her, and neither of the two of them committed any danger. The steep was almost straight up and down, and it was obviously dangerous when it went dark. They didn't have much friendship with Wang Wei before, and now it is enough to ensure his safety.
Fortunately, after only a quarter of an hour or two, the attendant who had been rushing to find someone came back with a team of Yu Lin. Everyone cut down the bushes and went down to the slope. Seeing the miserable appearance of King Wei, they did not dare to act rashly. Then came a general who knows some medical techniques to heal injuries. After the inspection, it was confirmed that King Wei could move, and then everyone lifted him up from the bottom of the steep slope.
In this way, Wang Wei was sent back to the camp, and the noisy hunting grounds all day finally returned to peace.
This group of people returned to the camp, it was late at night. Although the entire camp was noisy for a while because of King Wei's rescue, everyone who came back from the hunting ground felt tired and chose to return to the camp to rest.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang were of course no exception. They returned to their camp after repatriating their attendants.
After sending the outsiders away, Qi Yang asked, "What the is going on tonight? How did you find King Wei, and the dead horse, what is going on?" Came back, but the dead horse has not been dealt with yet.
Naturally, Lu Qipei did not hide her from her, so he took her to sit down and took out the handkerchief from his arms. In the handkerchief was a small piece of soil that she secretly wrapped. She put the soil in front of Qi Yang and said to her: "Your Majesty, what might you smell?"
Qi Yang had witnessed her tracing process with his own eyes before, and of course knew that there was probably something wrong with the land along the way. There are just a lot of attendants following the action, but no one can smell the difference. She was also curious, so she had no objection at this time, and she leaned closer to smell the soil in Lu Qipei's handkerchief. After a while, she said, "There is no strange smell, I can smell the plum blossom on you."
Lu Qipei was stunned when he heard the answer. He looked at the veil and couldn't help but smile: "It is a fragrance, but it is not the plum fragrance on my body. The fragrance hidden in the soil and rotten leaves, ordinary people can't smell it, but I I like Hexiang more keenly."
This answer was not unexpected. Qi Yang nodded and asked, "What kind of fragrance is that?"
Lu Qipei closed the handkerchief, and indifferently tossed the soil aside: "It's a fragrance that the Central Plains doesn't have." She said, her face serious: "The prairie alien species has its own miracle, no one can say. I know where they came from. But I have read a miscellaneous book that says that this kind of horse eats a kind of herb. The grass grows on the edge of the salt lake deep in the grassland.
Qi Yang understood, and glanced at the mud thrown beside him: "You mean the fragrance in the soil is that kind of vanilla?"
Lu Qipei nodded and shook his head: "I haven't been to the grassland, I don't know. But I learned a combination of incense before, and I have seen all the spices that can be found in Daliang, and none of them are similar. This fragrance is very special. It is also very similar to the description in the book."
Qi Yang naturally believed her judgment, and did not feel that Lu Qipei was surprised by this understanding. After all, their mansion also keeps two prairie alien species. Without knowing the purpose of Rongguo, of course they have to learn more. Then she connected the matter back and forth, and it was not difficult to guess the whole story and the purpose of the other party.
After a while, Qi Yang took a deep breath and said, "Now it seems that everything is a coincidence. It is a great fortune that King Wei was injured and not dead. But if someone finds the dead horse tomorrow, they know that King Wei's mount was poisoned to death. , I'm afraid things will fall into a conspiracy."
Although this was originally a conspiracy, the prince will undoubtedly become a target of public criticism when it is revealed in this way.
Qi Yang couldn't be upset anymore. She grabbed the bag of soil and stood up and said: "I have to go to the emperor brother. I have to tell him all these things first, and let him prepare earlier."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lu Qipei: "His Royal Highness, wait, you can't go to the Prince."
Qi Yang stopped when he heard the words and looked back at her: "Why?"
Lu Qipei silently stared at her, and Qi Yang realized it in a daze-the prince today is different from before. He is wary of Lu Qipei. If you let him know that Lu Qipei discovered this, I don't know how much he would believe in his heart. .
Being able to discover things in advance is their first opportunity, and it makes no sense to let suspicion ruin this advantage. What's more, they were close to Donggongben, and they ran to find the prince again in the middle of the night, and they still don't know what it will be like after the incident spreads. Maybe even the fact that King Wei was found by them would have to be covered with a veil of conspiracy.
Qi Yang lowered his eyes and tightened his lips. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked Lu Qipei, "What do you mean, Apei?"
Lu Qipei looked calm, but answered categorically: "Look for Your Majesty!"
Although the emperor was quite concerned about King Wei, he was old after all and went to sleep when he was near his son. However, King Wei was found and sent back in the middle of the night, which disturbed the entire camp and awakened the emperor from his sleep.
Hearing that King Wei fell from the horse, his injuries were serious, and the emperor was shocked to get up. So when Lu Qipei and Qi Yang came, there were still bright lights in the Imperial Tent, and after the announcement, the emperor summoned them without waiting for them.
When the emperor saw Qi Yang, he first scolded her for not knowing the severity: "I told you a long time ago that there are many people in the hunting grounds looking for your brother king. What are you going to do? You dare to wait until dark and take a few people there. Don’t you know how dangerous the hunting ground is at night?"
Qi Yang bowed his head to listen to the training, not daring to refute anything at this time.
After the emperor had trained his daughter, he scolded the consort: "And you, as Qi Yang’s consort, can't you stop her when she is self-willed? If the principal commits a personal danger, you dare to accompany her, really want to do something good or bad. How to do?!"
Lu Qipei lowered his eyebrows when he heard the guilty conscience, and did not dare to tell the emperor that her Royal Highness was completely abducted and taken into the hunting ground. Otherwise, if the old man knew it, it would be as simple as a curse.
Qi Yang was unwilling to be trained by Lu Qipei, even if the matter was provoked by her, there was no reason to protect him. So Qi Yang raised his head and whispered back to the emperor's previous questioning: "But the father, this time it is the son and the servant who found Brother Wei Wang!"
In fact, Wang Wei really fell hard, and now it is no worry about his life to bring him back, but God knows that if he is allowed to lie on the bottom of the overnight, or even in a dangerous place like a hunting ground, will he be alive tomorrow?
Of course the emperor knew it too, so he was so tempered by his daughter's words that she didn't say anything at all.
Qi Yang didn't come to ask for a reward, he just accepted it. Thinking about what to say later, he first asked: "Brother Wei Wang fell from the horse and he didn't seem to fall lightly. I don't know what to do now?"
The emperor knew that Qi Yang had an unusual relationship with King Wei, and most of what he did was for the crown prince. At this moment, he also replied to her: "It's not bad or not. The doctor said that he broke two ribs and the back of his head was also torn, but fortunately nothing. Worry about life."
Hearing this, Qi Yang nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Father, my son thinks that the incident of Brother Wei Wang's injury is unusual."
I am afraid that Qi Yang is not the only one who wants to say this. The people in this camp may think so. They had long turned their suspicion on the prince, and the prince was indeed quite suspicious. Only because of the emperor's resolute attitude, no one dared to mention this.
The emperor did not expect that Qi Yang would be the first to say this. He was slightly surprised, and then calmed down: "What does the emperor want to say?"
Qi Yang didn't hide and tuck him, first he explained what he had seen and heard on the hunting ground tonight, including the poisoned horse that had not been discovered by others. Finally, I talked about Lu Qipei's discovery, and then presented the bag of soil.
It was a pity that the smell of vanilla in the soil was not obvious, and it was contaminated by the incense on Lu Qipei's body. The emperor could not smell anything except the fragrance of plum blossoms. Turning his head and let Zhang Jian smell it, the result was the same.
Lu Qipei explained: "The smell is so light that ordinary people may not be able to smell it. It is best to get a perfumer to smell it. But the smell of the forest clearing also dissipates quickly. I am afraid it will dissipate in a day or two. Now, you need to send someone to take some soil and seal it up."
The emperor condensed a face before turning his head and instructing Zhang Jian to arrange for someone to collect soil in private. After thinking about it, he ordered: "Bring back the dead horse to me, and hand it to Dali Temple to investigate. Don't let others know."
Zhang Jian was the emperor's confidant, and he didn't know how many secrets he had listened to for decades, so he made arrangements now and calmly.
When Zhang Jian also left, the emperor looked at the handful of soil and muttered: "Since it is the vanilla on the grassland, but I have never had it before, is this matter led by Rongguo?"
This is the simplest and most straightforward suspicion, but after thinking about it, it makes sense. From the time when the prince broke his body in the battle of Liang Rong, to this year his several princes have had accidents one after another. Rong Guo is clearly targeting Liang Guo's next generation. If the prince Xian is weak and short-lived, the death of the kings implicates the prince, and even the slightly older grandson is broken, then Liang Guo's inheritance must be a problem.
It's not just disturbing the court, it's an extinct strategy, it's very sinister!
When the emperor thought of this, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, and Qi Yang had never seen it before.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei both noticed the changes in the emperor's expressions, and they looked at each other calmly, not daring to say anything.
After waiting for a long time, the emperor suddenly asked the two of them: "You said, will this matter be the master of the Rongguo? If so, who is planning all this behind the scenes?"
This shouldn't be asked to them, but since the emperor asked, how could Qi Yang and Lu Qipei not answer? Just when Qi Yang was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Lu Qipei pointing at her with a gesture, and then he narrowed his words: "I don't know about this matter. I came here to report it to the emperor. But the alien horse and vanilla are both. Coming from the grassland, I am afraid that it is also inseparable from the Rongguo."
Lu Qipei said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter who planned all this, the important thing is Liang Rong's enemies."
This sentence seemed to awaken the emperor, causing him to squint his eyes slightly.
