"bang bang"

At this time, the eunuch Zhang, who was in charge of the Courtyard of Beasts, and a group of palace servants were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Eunuch Zhang could never have imagined that Xia Dongchun, who had always been an expert in horse riding, would actually scare the horse while rehearsing with her trainer. The mad horse dragged her wildly on the ground. Everyone was so anxious that they wanted to rescue her, but when they got a little closer, the horse became more furious and dragged Xia Dongchun in circles, and several of the times it stepped hard on her stomach.

At the critical moment, it was Ye Lanyi who controlled the crazy horse and rescued Xia Dongchun from under the horse's hooves.

When An Lingrong arrived, Xia Dongchun's face was as pale as paper and she was lying on a simple stretcher, vomiting blood, while Zhou Bing was treating her beside her.

Looking at the palace maids kneeling on the ground and Xia Dongchun who was dying, An Lingrong felt angry. She hated the palace maids for not serving her attentively, and she hated herself even more for being careless. She focused more attention on the Fourth Prince, fearing that the Queen would take advantage of the busy schedule to harm him.

He also distracted himself partly, thinking about how to alienate Zhen Huan from the Queen during the rehearsal so that she would turn against him.

She had taken every precaution, but she never expected that Xia Dongchun would get into an accident. She hated herself for being so careless and for once again hurting the people around her. Instinctively, the first thing she thought of was that this was another act of the Queen.

An Lingrong didn't believe the eunuch's apology at all. Why did the horse suddenly go crazy? Everything was normal in the stable, and there was nothing unusual in the daily horse feed and drinking water. She also carefully checked the horse's body, and found nothing unusual.

An Lingrong also knew that her anger was a sign of incompetence. In her extreme anger, she thought of a possibility:

"Since the problem is not with the horse, what about the people? Has anyone acting strangely entered or left the zoo recently?"

The Queen was amazed at her sharpness, but what did it matter? She just smiled disdainfully and continued to watch An Lingrong suppressing her emotions and going crazy.

In the Zoo, Concubine Jing and An Lingrong were checking for traces of the servants in the garden.

Outside Jiuzhou Qingyan, Rendong followed the Fourth Prince half-hidden and half-visible. After learning that Xia Dongchun had frightened the horse, she became more alert to the Fourth Prince's safety. If she was not afraid of accusing her master of making friends with the prince, she would have stayed with him all the time.

But for the sake of her master and the Fourth Prince, she could only hide about ten steps behind the Fourth Prince and slowly escort him back to Sui'an Hall.

It was afternoon now, and the sunlight shone through the leaves, flashing tiny lights. Honeysuckle looked around, fearing that any danger might arise.

When we were almost at Sui'an Hall, we saw a young eunuch kneeling on the rockery by the lake. There was no shade from the trees and the afternoon sun was scorching. I don't know how long he had been kneeling there, as he was already drowsy.

When the Fourth Prince passed by, he stopped and glanced at him. The young eunuch seemed to sense his gaze and suddenly opened his sweat-covered eyes and began to plead in a hoarse voice:

"Fourth Prince, please save me, please save me."

She just kept crying but didn't say why she was punished.

The Fourth Prince withdrew his gaze and said nothing. Such vague words really made people think too much. He raised his foot to leave, but unexpectedly the little eunuch's reaction was extremely quick. He was originally kneeling on the ground, but he was able to change his posture in an instant and then rushed forward to hug the Fourth Prince's calf.

"Fourth Prince, please save me. Everyone in the palace says you are kind and merciful. Please give me a chance to live. If you leave, I will die."

He spoke very loudly, as if he was telling someone, or as if he was accusing the Fourth Prince of having this experience. If someone who didn't know the truth passed by here, there would be no doubt that there would be rumors.

Things happened too fast. By the time Nanny Chen reacted and wanted to tear the eunuch away, it was too late. After the Fourth Prince was hugged by someone, he realized that this person had martial arts skills and ulterior motives. He was about to speak to calm this person down, but Honeysuckle had already appeared:

"My dear eunuch, I am the head aunt of Wufu Hall. Concubine Wen assists Concubine Jing in handling palace affairs. My queen has always been compassionate to the weak, so I think she can help you better. If you have any grievances, you may as well go with me to Wufu Hall to speak to the queen, and then I will give you justice."

As she spoke, she approached the young eunuch. She moved very quickly and in a flash she was in front of the Fourth Prince. Without even bothering to greet him, she stretched out her hand and reached straight for the young eunuch's neck. However, the back of the young eunuch's head seemed to have eyes, and he rolled on the ground to avoid Rendong's attack.

The Fourth Prince's legs loosened, and seeing that the young eunuch and Rendong were already fighting each other, he instantly took a few steps back, ready to stand in a safe area and wait for an opportunity to act. At this time, two more eunuchs suddenly came from behind.

Rendong became anxious and attacked with even more ruthless force. However, the eunuch who was fighting with her was extremely agile and cunning. After dodging Rendong's attacks, he continued to harass her, making it impossible for her to take care of the Fourth Prince.

It happened in a flash. Just when Rendong was unable to split himself, the two eunuchs who came later rushed straight towards the Fourth Prince without caring about anything. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince had been practicing riding and archery in the garden in the past few years, so he managed to avoid the attacks of the two men for a while.

Seeing that their attack failed, one of them turned around and attacked Nanny Chen. Nanny Chen panicked and ran forward screaming. But the villain was faster and pounced on Nanny Chen into the lake, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Fourth Prince was horrified when he saw this. He had been taken care of by Nanny Chen since he was a child and had long regarded her as a family member. When he saw her get into trouble, he was immediately panicked and walked towards the lake.

In a hurry, Rendong shouted, "Come back!" and wanted to leave the little eunuch who had been pestering her, but the little eunuch used the same old trick again and hugged Rendong tightly with his body. His body was as soft as a boneless snake, and Rendong couldn't get rid of him for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the Fourth Prince had reached the lake. Before he could see the situation in the lake clearly, a hand suddenly reached out from the lakeside and grabbed his ankle. Another eunuch who followed behind him also suddenly bumped into him from behind. The two pushed and pulled the Fourth Prince into the lake, and then they worked together to press the Fourth Prince's head into the water.

All this happened in just a few breaths.

When the Fourth Prince fell into the water, Rendong was extremely anxious, but the little eunuch who was clinging to her was like a dead soldier. He was hit hard on the back by Rendong several times and was spitting blood, but he still clung to Rendong tightly.

At the critical moment, Concubine Duan appeared with her men.

When she heard the news that Xia Dongchun had frightened the horse, she realized that something was wrong. At this time, everyone was gathered in the Beast Garden, and she was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, so she thought of going to the Fourth Prince's residence first.

Before she reached Sui'an Hall, she heard Nanny Chen's cry for help. She quickened her pace and went over to take a look. She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head. She quickly asked the people who were accompanying them to jump into the lake to save her, and asked Jixiang to go find guards quickly.

When the people in the lake saw that help had arrived, they hurriedly left the Fourth Prince behind and fled into the water.

The little eunuch who had been pestering Honeysuckle smiled miserably at this moment, and poked the tip of his tongue at the root of his gums. A poison entered his stomach, and dark red blood dripped down his mouth. He died instantly, but he was still hanging on Honeysuckle until his death.

The Fourth Prince was rescued, and apart from choking on some water, he had no other discomfort. However, Nanny Chen had already drowned.

In the zoo, Zhou Bing knelt on the ground:

"The internal organs of Concubine Ming were trampled by the horse. I am powerless to save her. Please accept my condolences, Concubine Wen."

An Lingrong stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears falling from the corners of her eyes, but the tears kept falling and finally she broke down in tears.

Seeing the queen's fake gorilla's care, she had an idea of ​​destroying herself and the enemy together. This time she wanted to take revenge severely.
