The old lady is reborn

It was getting dark. Fortunately, these three places were the secret bases for these people to go hunting every time. Not only were the people familiar with them, but the horses also seemed to gradually know where their masters were going.

Several people walked forward in silence in the dusk, following Huai'an's instructions, without lighting the fire. After walking for a long time, it was almost completely dark, and Yan Hui, Yue Heng and Lin Yindi all said it.

Relying on their familiarity, they were able to distinguish among the vague shadows that this was the big tree and that there was a cave in front. Rong Huaian and Luo Xue had no choice but to follow them dismounting in confusion.

Yue Heng was the first to find the cave that was one of the strongholds, and after entering, he lit a tinderbox.

Lin Yindi even found the cave door they had made with branches in the midst of the sand and soil in the cave. Although it needed to be repaired, it could be used to cover the cave entrance, providing concealment and camouflage during the day and blocking the cold wind at night.

A few people entered the cave. Rong Huaian saw that the cave entrance was small but the cave was spacious. He couldn't help but say, "You guys are good at finding places."

Everyone first cleaned up a piece and let Yan Hui lie down. They lit a fire again, put the pot on the table in front of Lin Yindi, poured out the water in the leather bag, and everyone drank some hot soup. They heated up the deer meat, rabbit meat and pheasant meat, and everyone ate their fill.

The food that Yue Heng and Yan Hui brought included a large bag of wild chestnuts, fern sprouts, roe deer meat and venison.

They buried wild chestnuts in the fire, and after they popped into nuts, they peeled and ate them while chatting.

When Yue Heng, Yan Hui and Luo Xue were drowsy and asleep, it seemed that Huai'an was still holding Lin Yindi to prepare food... stewed meat, it smells so good.

The next morning, while having breakfast, several people discussed what to do now. Yue Heng and Luo Xue went out first to get information.

The two men came back and said that the competition among the four teams was still going on today and there was nothing unusual.

Rong Huaian felt that something was not right and suggested returning to the base camp together during the day.

The young eunuch who was guarding outside the emperor's tent today discovered that His Majesty had gotten up half an hour later than yesterday.

After the palace maids who had been serving His Majesty in washing and changing clothes left, the young eunuch went in to serve tea and saw that His Majesty's face looked even worse than yesterday.

The scent of incense rose slowly and gracefully. The young eunuch did not dare to stay in the room and retreated to the outside of the emperor's tent to serve.

The memorial Your Majesty received contained a real-time report from Li Gengxi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and the actions over there seemed to have stopped.

One of their men was exposed yesterday, so in order to make amends, the other side sent that exposed man back with the intention of killing him to silence him. However, after secretly searching for half the night, they still couldn't find the two men.

They had no choice but to kill their own people who leaked the information. Now everything has stopped, waiting for instructions from the ambitious man.

Your Majesty thought that they could not be allowed to give up halfway. If they retreated at the slightest sign of trouble over there, wouldn't the fish that had already taken the bait be thrown off the hook again?

If the news that I am not in good health gets out, I am afraid that person will be reluctant to give up such a good opportunity.

So His Majesty summoned the imperial physician early in the morning.

The news that His Majesty had sent the imperial physician during the autumn hunting season spread quickly. Someone soon came to verify with the young eunuch, and after receiving a positive reply, it seemed that he really couldn't bear to give up such an opportunity and started to move again.

But His Majesty did not expect that as soon as Rong Huaian returned with Yan Hui, Yue Heng, Lin Yindi and Miao Jiang Luoxue, he went to the person who recorded the list of messengers and asked to see the person in charge, saying that many people of unknown origin might have infiltrated the hunting teams and requested an investigation.

His Majesty thought that Song Ying's son was smart, and if he was not on guard, he would be of great help. But in the current situation, was he going to push himself to the point of being "terminally ill"?

If the snake retreats back into its hole, there's no point in making trouble.

So on the night when Rong Huaian and others returned to the camp, His Majesty's "illness" became worse.

The messenger in charge of the roster also agreed to check it, but he dragged his feet.

Under this circumstance, they continued to carry on. Zeng Chen advised His Majesty that it was fortunate that Rong Huaian and others came back to propose an investigation. If the people over there were exposed, it would not be right for us to act as if nothing had happened.

All right, in order to catch them all in one fell swoop, just don't force me to hold my own funeral.

Jing Zhong's mind was buzzing all day today. He met a man who looked very similar to His Majesty, and he was stunned at first glance.

"Your Majesty" wearing a blue ribbon? Also playing the four-team game? This doesn't make sense.

But they didn't see each other again after that whole day, except for that one encounter. Jing Zhong thought, maybe he was dazzled.

This man who looks similar to Your Majesty has sneaked into the camp quietly, and there are naturally people here to pick him up and settle him down.

They are waiting for an opportunity to take the blame.

That night, His Majesty, whose "condition worsened," fell into a coma for the first time. The accompanying imperial physician was under tremendous pressure, but fortunately His Majesty recovered.

The young eunuch was so nervous that his palms were full of sweat. Because the Majesty was not feeling well, they were all on duty and had to obey orders.

When changing shifts, the eunuch standing next to the young eunuch signaled to the young eunuch that it was time to rest.

The young eunuch subconsciously raised his head to take a look, and this look frightened him so much that his soul flew away and his little body shook involuntarily.

Finally, he calmed himself down, turned around and slowly retreated. He had already done what he should do. Perhaps when he came to take up duty again tomorrow morning, the person in the imperial tent would have been replaced.

It was not only four eunuchs who took over the shift, but also thirty-six guards outside the imperial tent.

The chief eunuch Li Gui seemed to be escorting the imperial physician out of the emperor's tent. When he turned around and went back in, three eunuchs came over and covered his mouth, quickly tied his hands behind his back, and forced him to his knees on the ground.

Li Gui struggled to look up and saw "Your Majesty" who had taken off his eunuch's outer garment and was dressed in bright yellow clothes. He made a humming sound in shock, as if trying to warn him.

One eunuch said, "Don't waste your energy. Do you see the guards standing outside the tent? They are all our people."

Li Gui's eyes were clearly panic-stricken. The eunuch smiled smugly.

The guard at the door lifted the curtain, and another person came in. This person had his face covered. He walked up to His Majesty who was lying on the sickbed and said with a smile: "I still can't help but want to pay my respects, but you may not be able to do so."

At this moment, torches suddenly lit up outside. In front of the thirty-six guards, about ten feet away from them were all royal guards, surrounding the entire imperial tent.

Li Gengxi rode on a tall horse and said to the masked man in the imperial tent, "Do you want to steal the truth without anyone noticing? If you've dreamed of this, it's time to wake up!"

When the masked man saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a dagger across the neck of His Majesty on the bed. However, before the dagger reached him, the man suddenly jumped up and kicked him away.

Where is your majesty? A Yulin guard.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the masked man seemed to want to commit suicide with the dagger, but the dagger was removed by the Royal Guards who had already rushed in.

Four eunuchs, including the fake emperor, were also tied up.

His Majesty walked in, with Yu Yu's leaders Li Gengxi and Zhuo Peng on his left and right. After coming in, he looked at the face that looked similar to his own and felt really upset.

He also ordered his men to pull off the masked man's veil, and it turned out to be Cao Yu, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

His Majesty asked, "When did you have such thoughts? Who are you loyal to? The Sixth Prince?"
