After that, it’s horseback riding.

Zidian is really a good horse, running as fast as thunder and as fast as lightning.It's a pity that the school field is too small to run around.

He rode the horse around the school grounds a few times. The horse was slightly sweaty, and the wind made his cheeks turn slightly red.Cen Mingche raised his hand to signal the palace attendants to put the target up.

Thuja handed him a special short bow, and mountain pine and cedar hung two barrels of arrows on both sides.

Cen Mingche whistled, and the surrounding palace people retreated like a tide. He patted the horse's butt lightly, and Zidian rushed out like an arrow from a string!

First lap!

shoot!

Five arrows hit the bullseye!

Second lap!

shoot!

Four out of five arrows hit the bullseye!

Cen Mingche leaned on the horse and gently pulled the reins to adjust Zidian's running direction.

Right now!

Suddenly, a strange fragrance came, like orchid but not orchid, like musk but not musk, with a sweetness lingering on the tip of his nose, making Cen Mingche's eyes darken, his hands and feet became weak, and he almost fell off the horse!

Zidian must have also smelled this fragrance. He immediately stood up, looked up to the sky and let out a long hiss, and suddenly started running wildly!

Cen Mingche managed to grab the reins, leaned down on the horse, stabilized his body, and at the same time quickly started running "Thousands of Tribulations".

In an instant, his blood surged, his face turned red, and a heat flow emerged from his meridians, dispelling the feeling of soreness and weakness in an instant!

Cen Mingche tightened the reins hard, but Zi Dian was like crazy, struggling left and right, like a wolf running and rushing, and occasionally he would stand up, shaking his head and struggling, until he was on the verge of falling!

The incident happened suddenly, and the surrounding guards and palace people were stunned for a moment. After reacting, guards immediately came over to help subdue the frightened horse, and some internal guards gathered around, hoping to catch Cen Mingche when he fell from the horse.

You know, if he has any shortcomings, no one here will survive!

Zidian is a fine purebred Wusun horse. He is now nearly two years old. His hooves are as big as ocean bowls and he weighs about three hundred kilograms.

If it were kicked by a hoof, it would break bones at least!

Therefore, even though everyone around him was spinning around, no one could hold the reins.

Cen Mingche held a bone-piercing awl in his palm and hesitated whether to send it out.

This is a hidden weapon he bought with broken silver from his master's sect. It is of white quality and has no limit on quantity.At such a close distance, with a little force, one shot can penetrate the horse's neck.

But he couldn't bear it.

This is a horse that he has raised for two years!I've been watching it since it was first able to feed, and it has grown to [-] pounds!

He hugged the horse's neck tightly, his whole body pressed against the horse's back, and he could clearly feel Zidian's heartbeat.

Tsk, try again!

This time, he used his inner strength in his palm and slapped the horse on the neck!

The majestic strength penetrated into the blood, Zidian whined, knelt down, and then lay on his side on the ground, his four hooves twitching.

Cen Mingche seized the opportunity, jumped off the horse, and landed firmly on the ground with a move of "clouds rising and snow flying".

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!!!"

"How are you, Your Highness? Are you feeling well?"

"Call the doctor, call the doctor quickly!"

The palace people gathered around, with the words "survive the disaster" written all over their faces.

"Wait!"

Cen Mingche shouted sharply.

"Someone who knows horses, come and see what's going on with Zidian!"

"Before Zidian went crazy, I smelled a strange fragrance, but someone knows what's going on!"

"Zhensong, report what happened to my mother and concubine! Make it clear that I am fine!"

"Cangsong, go and report to your father!"

"Shansong, seal off the front and back of the school grounds for me! I want to see who is causing trouble today!"

After saying that, he took two deep breaths, held Cuibai's hand, and stood firm.

"Someone bring a chair over here! I'm going to sit here. No one can leave until the matter is cleared up!"

After all, he is a very favored prince, and everyone in the school is willing to obey his orders.

If he is powerless and unfavored, the people below him will have eight hundred reasons to shirk his orders and thousands of ways to dig holes.

...Tsk, if I had known something like this would happen, I would have brought a few more internal prisoners over.

In just one stick of incense, Cangsong rushed back, followed by a group of guards and an eunuch beside the emperor.

"His Majesty ordered: The emperor's third son frightened the horse, and he will thoroughly investigate it himself. Sixty cabinet guards will be assigned to assist. The six bureaus, one department and the 24 yamen will not delay and shirk the responsibility! If you find anything, report it immediately! I appreciate this!"

Everyone bowed and listened until the decree was announced.

"I wonder what I call the supervisor?"

Cen Mingche stood up and asked with a smile.

"The lower official Fan Zishan is currently the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch and the admiral Beiweige." He bowed respectfully and said, "I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

"Quick and free."

He hurriedly helped Fan Zishan, and naturally the supervisor beside him handed him a small purse containing money.

This was his reward for Fan Zishan, which was equivalent to releasing goodwill. It didn't matter how much or how little the money was.

Fan Zishan took it naturally and put it in his sleeve.

"Third Highness, Your Majesty was furious when he heard about this matter, but the affairs of the court are complicated and cannot be left for a while. He ordered his subordinates to lead the sixty guards to help you find out the matter."

Cen Mingche bowed deeply in the direction of the main hall: "Thank you, father."

After getting up, he said to Fan Zishan: "I just ordered people to seal off the school grounds. I wonder if I can ask Superintendent Fan to lead people to conduct a thorough investigation here?"

"As ordered."

Fan Zishan bowed respectfully and began to dispatch the guards, who were careful and orderly in their words and deeds.

Beiwei Pavilion is equivalent to the secret service agency controlled by the emperor. Its leader is the second-ranking eunuch after the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.

It can be seen that this Superintendent Fan has a good background.

And what was the purpose of the emperor asking him to assist Cen Mingche in investigating this matter?

Professionals are professionals.Within an hour, sergeants came one after another to report what was going on everywhere and that there was something fishy about it.

They not only searched the school grounds, but also searched all around the school grounds, and finally found traces in the grass behind a house.

It was a copper basin that was deliberately thrown there. There was some kind of burned ashes in it. The shape was very different from carbon ashes and paper ashes. It looked like traces caused by some kind of pasty combustible substance.

The emergency horse doctor also checked Zidian's condition, and the result was that he was poisoned.

As for what kind of poison it is, I really don’t know. It needs to be examined by the imperial doctor.

But the imperial doctor only looks at people, not horses, and he doesn't know how to look at horses. He can only look at Cen Mingche.

But Cen Mingche had no symptoms of poisoning - they were all decomposed by his internal energy.

So in the end, nothing was found.

Fan Zishan looked at the copper basin and fell into deep thought.

"Excuse me, Superintendent Fan, do you have any advice on this?"

Cen Mingche asked curiously.

Fan Zishan pondered for a moment and said softly: "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of something - red poppy paste?"

Oh, this is the second time I heard this name today.

"Red Poppy Flower Ointment... I do know that the late emperor had issued an order to ban this product."

Fan Zishan smiled slightly.

"This is the trace left after burning the red poppy paste."
