Ma Guan jumped off the horse to check on Concubine Hui's situation, while Kangxi pierced the crazy horse's neck with a gold hairpin, and the crazy horse struggled for a while and then stopped moving completely.

Concubine Yi, concubine Xuan, and nobles all surrounded her. Everyone was terrified by such a change.

"Elder Sister Hui Concubine, Sister Hui Concubine..." Ma Guan checked a little, and found that Concubine Hui's left leg was broken, but the rest was fine, she seemed to have passed out from the pain.

She called twice, Concubine Hui slowly opened her eyes, breathed in pain, and tears fell out.

"Sister Hui Concubine, you finally woke up, you have to hold on, I'll help you bandage your calf first." Ma Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Concubine Hui is still awake.

"Let me come." Kangxi also squatted down, lifted Concubine Hui's calf, and pressed a few times with his hands.Concubine Hui bit her lower lip tightly, so she didn't cry out in pain. "Bone is broken, Ma Guan, break two branches."

"Okay." Ma Guan got up immediately and picked two small branches from a nearby tree, but unfortunately he didn't have a knife.

"Empress Defei, use this." He Guiren suddenly handed over a dagger, which was the one she gave to Ma Guan back then, but was returned.

This dagger cuts iron like mud, Ma Guan didn't refuse, and quickly cut out two usable ones.

She took out another handkerchief, but one was not enough, and everyone handed over their own one after another.The horse-twig was tied into a long one, Kangxi measured it, and it happened to be wrapped around Concubine Hui.

"Sister Hui Concubine, is there any discomfort?" Ma Guan didn't dare to lift Concubine Hui's upper body casually, for fear that her internal organs would fall into trouble.

"It hurts, my back and arms hurt..." Concubine Hui said aggrieved and pitifully.

Ma Guan saw that both of her arms were scratched, but fortunately her bones were fine, and after returning home, she would be cured with some gold sore medicine.

As for the back, I guess I can only have it checked by the imperial doctor after I go back.

Concubine Yi wiped her tears and cried: "It's so good, why did it suddenly fall?"

Ma Guan glanced at her, and glanced at the crowd present from the corner of her eye, frowning slightly.Concubine Hui's riding skills are still clear to her, not much worse than hers. It is no problem to hunt on horseback, and the possibility of wrestling on such a flat grassland is very small.

If I remember correctly, Concubine Niu was not far behind Concubine Hui at that time. After Concubine Hui fell down, Concubine Niu stopped a few meters away.

It's not that she's suspicious, it's that Pin Niu has done too many bad things, so she has to speculate on the bad things.

Soon, Kangxi bandaged Concubine Hui's leg, and it was impossible to ride a horse. Fortunately, the ministers and guards on the side of Saihan Lake discovered the situation here and rushed over quickly.

Finally, the guards fetched a stretcher and carried Concubine Hui back.

The concubines also followed on horseback, but Ma Guan was a step behind, squatting beside the crazy horse, carefully examining what was going on.

"The golden hairpin is dirty, I will reward you with a new one next time." Kangxi thought she was reluctant to part with her hairpin, and wanted to take it out and continue to use it.

"Your majesty, the concubine is not for this." Ma Guan was speechless, she pointed to a small red mark on the ass/buttocks of her flatterer and said: "Your majesty, look here, this injury should not be caused by us."

Kangxi frowned, and found that the red marks were not too obvious, more like being hit by a heavy object.

"Perhaps the horse rubbed it when it fell to the ground."

"No, I saw it at the time. The horse fell sideways, and the buttocks on this side were facing upwards. It was impossible to touch the ground. The concubine suspected that someone hit this place with a heavy object, which caused the horse to fall. The horse went crazy and threw Concubine Hui off the ground."

Ma Guan's eyes were dim, and he recalled the location of Concubine Niu after Concubine Hui fell down, and if she could match her name, she became more and more suspicious of this woman.

"You mean that someone intentionally caused Concubine Hui to fall off the horse?" Kangxi's expression darkened. There were only 12 of them in the horse race, and all the concubines were behind Concubine Hui. Who and how insidious was it?

"The concubine is just guessing. I need to ask Sister Hui for details. I believe she should have felt it at the time."

"You're right." Kangxi looked up at the guard behind him, and ordered: "Bring this horse back, don't get hurt again."

"Hey." A few guards stepped forward in response, without even using sticks, they directly raised one leg each.

When Ma Guan and the others returned, the imperial doctor was already treating Concubine Hui's injuries. Concubine Hui fell badly, not only had the skin on her back broken, but the imperial doctor also said that she had some internal bleeding and must be treated properly.

Ma Guan stayed by Concubine Hui's side all the time, while Kangxi sent someone to check the horse, and he had to figure out what was going on with the red mark.

It was already half an hour after Concubine Hui was bandaged up and took the medicine.Concubine Hui hesitated to speak, so Ma Guan asked her to sleep first, and wait until she wakes up to talk about anything.

Because Concubine Hui was injured, the atmosphere in the palace was low, so the hunting was postponed for two days.

That afternoon, Kangxi finally got news that the red mark was indeed knocked out with something. It may be a stone, or it may be something else.

Kangxi was furious, and gathered all the concubines of the horse race on the spot. The concubines were panic-stricken, and more or less guessed the truth.

"Tell me, who did it? If you say it yourself, I can still forgive you. If I find out, I will definitely punish you severely!"

The concubines looked at each other in blank dismay, even if they did such a thing, they wouldn't be so stupid as to admit it voluntarily, would they?However, most people still don't know how the emperor found out, and they are also very curious about who the murderer behind the scenes is.

Ma Guan stood aside, scrutinizing everyone's reactions without any trace, and found that Concubine Niu was unexpectedly calm.

She was slightly surprised, could it be that she had guessed wrong, that Niu Niu did not do this?

No, Concubine Niu is not right to be so calm. Even if she is innocent, she will feel nervous when seeing the emperor so angry, and even wonder whether the emperor will doubt her.

The calmer it is, the more strange it seems.

Even He Guiren and Concubine Xuan, who were running in front of Concubine Hui, looked at each other nervously.

"Concubine De, Heguiren, and Concubine Xuan." The emperor spoke again and named the three of them.

He nobleman and Concubine Xuan were taken aback, waved their hands again and again to defend themselves: "Your Majesty, it wasn't a concubine who did it..."

Kangxi said lightly: "The three of you can eliminate the suspicion."

"Huh..." He nobleman and concubine Xuan were almost scared to death, why did the emperor pant when he spoke?However, they didn't dare to complain, Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"The person who did the attack must be among the seven of you. Tell me about the situation at that time." Kangxi narrowed the scope at once, and his eyes swept over the seven people one by one. Hold for a second.

Among the seven concubines, Concubine Niu was the most suspected, because she was the closest to Concubine Hui at that time, and she often committed crimes frequently.

Concubine Yi stood up first, after all she had the highest status: "Your Majesty, this concubine was with Guo Guiren at the time, and it was more than ten meters away from Concubine Hui, so there was no chance to attack Concubine Hui."

Kangxi nodded slightly. When he returned, Concubine Yi and Guo Guiren were indeed still some distance away from Concubine Hui.The two don't know martial arts, so it is impossible to hit Concubine Hui's horse from such a long distance.

"Your Majesty, my concubine and sisters Duan, Rong, and Dai are at the back, and it is even more impossible to strike at Hui." Xi Concubine reported nervously. Although they could ride horses, their skills She is really not proficient, and she can run slower than Sister Yifei.

Kangxi nodded, and finally cast his eyes on Concubine Niu. For a while, Ma Guan and other concubines all looked at Concubine Niu. Only she, the closest to Concubine Hui, was the most likely to strike!

"What are you looking at me for? Your majesty, the concubine did not do this. Although the concubine is close to sister Hui, it is still several meters away. How could she hurt sister Hui's horse? The concubine has never learned Kung Fu is not so good." Concubine Niu spread her hands, her face was taken for granted.

"How does Niu Concubine know that Concubine Hui's horse is injured?" Ma Guan asked aloud.

She laughed angrily, this concubine Niu actually exposed her own feet, the emperor didn't say before that Concubine Hui's horse was injured.

Concubine Niu froze for a moment, and argued stiffly: "Ms. De Concubine doesn't need to be so tempting. I think anyone with a little brain can guess. If Sister Hui's horse was not injured, why did she suddenly go crazy and throw her off? If someone was directly injured Concubine Hui, can Concubine Hui not know?"

"It makes sense for you to say that. You also said that you are the closest to Concubine Hui, so you must have seen something hurt Concubine Hui's horse, right?" Jump.

"I..." Concubine Niu wanted to deny it on the spot, but the emperor's eyes were too terrifying, she bit her lower lip, and could only say, "I did see something, I saw Concubine Hui's horse stepped on something, then Things got crushed and the debris flew up and hit her horse."

Kangxi yelled angrily: "Nonsense! I had people search for a radius of 20 meters, but they didn't see the thing you said was crushed. Concubine Niu, are you still trying to argue? You hurt Concubine Hui's horse!"

"How could the emperor wrong my concubine so wrongly?" Concubine Niu opened her eyes wide in shock, her eyes turned red with grievance, and she burst into tears: "Is it because the concubine is the closest to Concubine Hui? Or is it because the concubine has done many wrong things before? Your majesty Since it is said that the concubine did it, there must be evidence."

"Evidence? Concubine Hui's horse was injured, and you were the only one who could do it at that time. This is the evidence." Kangxi saw her crying, with a grievance on his face, showing a bit of disgust: "Even if you are at odds with Concubine Hui, you can't do it." Should you do such a vicious thing, do you know that you almost killed Concubine Hui?"

"There is no concubine, there is really no concubine...Your Majesty, you can't just think that concubine did it... If it is concubine, concubine Yi and Guiren Guo are behind, you should see the concubine's actions ...That's right, Empress Yifei, you have to testify for me, have you seen that I did it?" Concubine Niu looked at Concubine Yi as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and the others also looked over.

Concubine Yi thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "The concubine didn't pay attention that much at the time, and it's so far away, I really don't know."

"I don't know either..." Guo Guiren whispered.

"Your Majesty, they didn't see it. They can testify that the concubine did not do it..." Concubine Niu quickly defended herself.

Kangxi said coldly: "They just didn't see it, it doesn't mean you didn't do it."

Concubine Niu opened her mouth, her joy gradually turned into disappointment, and her tears became more and more fierce: "Heh... It seems that the emperor believes that the concubine did it, but the concubine is really wronged... The concubine really saw Concubine Hui's horse stepped on something, and that thing hit Concubine Hui's horse."

"However, the concubine does not blame the emperor. It is because the concubine has done too many wrong things in the past and left a bad impression on the emperor. The emperor will misunderstand the concubine this time... But the emperor, the things that the concubine did not do are definitely not good. Will admit that if you haven’t done it, you haven’t done it.”

"You..." Kangxi was stunned, he didn't expect Concubine Niu to be so stubborn.

He couldn't help being very annoyed, because the guards searched the scene several times, but they couldn't find the weapon that hit the horse.The lack of this crucial evidence made it impossible for him to convict Concubine Niu.

At this moment, Liang Jiugong came in to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has woken up."

"I know." After Kangxi finished speaking, he glanced at Concubine Niu coldly: "Follow me to see Concubine Hui, I want to see how long you can argue."

"The concubine walks upright and sits upright, not afraid to see Concubine Hui." Concubine Niu wiped away the tears from her face, but there was no trace of panic or fear, which made Kangxi puzzled.

Ma Guan also showed suspicion. Judging by Pin Niu's reaction, could it be that she really didn't do it?Or did she throw away the thing long ago and was sure no one else would find it?

If that's the case, it's really hard to handle.

When I arrived at Concubine Hui's room, I heard Concubine Hui moaning softly. There were many scars all over her body, and this time it really hurt for a while.

"I have seen the emperor..."

"You don't need to be too polite. How is your body feeling?" Kangxi sat down beside the bed, seeing Concubine Hui's appearance, he felt a tinge of pity.

"It still hurts...but it's better than before." Concubine Hui forced a smile.

Kangxi nodded slightly, and asked: "Do you still remember how you fell off the horse? I found out that the left rear of your horse was injured by a heavy object."

Concubine Hui's face was pale, as if recalling the situation at that time, her eyes showed fear.

It took a while before he said: "I remember that the horse was hit by something at that time, and then it went crazy. I couldn't sit still, and then I was thrown off... Your Majesty, did someone do it on purpose?"

Her gaze immediately fell on Niu Bi, she remembered that Niu Bi was not far away from her at that time, this woman was most likely to make a move!

However, Kangxi had a headache. It seems that Concubine Hui didn't see what hit the horse, let alone whether it was Niu Concubine's hand.

"Prince Niu said that she saw your horse step on something. The thing shattered and flew up and hit your horse. Do you feel it?"

"This is impossible. Although my concubine's riding skills are very average, you can still feel if the horse has stepped on something else." Concubine Hui immediately denied it, and she glared at Concubine Niu bitterly: "It must be you, You want to kill Bengong, don't you?"

"How can Sister Hui wrongly wrong me like this? I provide evidence with good intentions, but you don't appreciate it, and you still say it's me." Concubine Niu stared at Concubine Hui in disbelief, and sneered disappointedly: "Okay, everyone thinks that it's me." If it's me, then you can just assume that I did it. But if I haven't done it, I haven't done it, even if I die, I won't admit it!"

Concubine Hui was stunned, is this Concubine Niu crazy?Still want to talk hard?

He only regretted that she didn't have eyes behind her, and couldn't see Niu Concubine's actions with her own eyes.

Things were deadlocked like this, Kangxi looked at Niu Pin, Niu Pin's neck was stuck, her face was full of grievances.

Without definite evidence, Kangxi would not be able to punish Concubine Niu severely. If it was really just an accident, wouldn't it be chilling?

"Miss Niu, you are the most suspicious. You are not allowed to leave your room until this matter is thoroughly investigated. Go back."

"The concubine takes orders...the concubine will leave first." Concubine Niu smiled wryly, looked at the emperor in disappointment, and shed tears again.

After Niu Concubine left, Ma Guan said: "It's a pity that we couldn't find out what hit the horse. Even if Niu Concubine did it, evidence should be left at the scene."

This is what she couldn't figure out the most. After Concubine Hui fell, Concubine Niu was the farthest away, and she didn't behave abnormally.After Concubine Niu came back, she never went to the scene again, and it was impossible to take away the evidence.

However, Pin Niu said that the horse trampled on something, which is unreasonable. No matter what it trampled on, at least some wreckage should be left behind.

"This matter is quite strange. Concubine Niu can't get rid of the suspicion. I will let people continue to investigate." Kangxi was not in a good mood, and this happened on the first day of coming to the paddock, which really spoiled the interest.

Ma Guan was speechless, and she was also very depressed. Why did something happen every time a horse race happened?Can't you let her have a good time?

……

Let's talk about Concubine Niu who returned to her room, her grievance and disappointment were swept away immediately, and she put on a crazy smile.

She took out a small white sachet from her purse, but the sachet was very heavy, weighing half a catty. When she opened it, she found that the spices were mixed with iron beads.And there is a long silk thread tied on the outside of the purse, the thread is transparent, you can't find it if you don't pay attention.

At that time, she just grabbed the silk thread and threw out the sachet, hitting Concubine Hui's horse.After one blow, the sachet was quickly retracted, so that no trace was left on the scene.

In fact, she didn't plan to use this thing so early, she wanted to stimulate De Fei's horse when she officially went hunting.But she was too far behind in today's horse race, so she used it out of reluctance, but she hated that Concubine Hui was only hurt by a fall, and it would be fine if she fell to death or was trampled to death by a horse.

She picked out the iron beads and wrapped them in the belly pocket she was not wearing. If someone came to search them, I believe they would not find anything.

However, Kangxi didn't think of this at all. After two days of investigation, he still didn't find any clues, so he gave up temporarily.

On the fourth day, the hunting officially started, and all the concubines except Concubine Niu went to the paddock.It's just that Concubine Hui can only lie on a chair and watch outside with the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and others.

As for noblemen Hesheli and Wei, who can't ride horses, they also worked hard to learn in the past two days, and they barely managed to follow them into the forest.Of course, just to open your eyes, don't even think about hunting or something.

The heirs of the princes and ministers also went with them, and Mayan brought Mayan Zhu with them.Mayanzhu is quiet by nature and not good at hunting. She is good at riding horses, but her skills are not exquisite.

Ma Guan took her to learn more.

On the other side, the elder brother was patting his chest and promised: "Er Niang don't need to be disappointed, I must hunt more things, and get back what I get from Er Niang."

The elder brother is already 11 years old and has grown into a half-grown boy. He is both novel and yearning for hunting.

Concubine Hui touched his head and said with a smile: "Emiang knows you are good, hunting is hunting, you have to take care of yourself, don't fall like Emiang."

"I know, Er Niang, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to it." Eldest brother smiled happily.

Next to him is Prince Yinreng, the prince is nine years old this year, he has grown a bit taller than two years ago, and is more sensible.

As for the remaining elder brothers, because they are too young, they really can't go in. They can only play outside on ponies under the protection of the guards.

Following Kangxi's order, the hunting army rushed into the forest, and Kangxi still shot the first prey. Over the past two years, Kangxi's archery skills have become more and more proficient, and he killed a running wild animal with one arrow. deer.

Everyone cheered in unison, and Kangxi smiled when he won the victory.

"Let's all spread out and hunt separately, whoever has the most and the biggest prey will be rewarded heavily!"

"Ah!" The crowd couldn't wait a long time ago, and immediately spread out in all directions.

These prey were driven over by the guards early in the morning, so the density of prey in this forest was very high, and everyone had harvested within a short distance.

Ma Guan left with Mayan Zhu, nobleman Hesheli, nobleman Wei, and three oil bottles. These three were all here for sightseeing, so the heavy responsibility of hunting fell on Ma Quan.

The guards who came with Ma Guan this time were no longer Nalan Rongruo and Cao Yin, but two people they didn't know. I heard that Cao Yin was entrusted with an important task by the emperor and released as an official.

"Rabbit! There's a rabbit over there!" the nobleman Hesheli suddenly screamed, and saw a gray-white rabbit disappearing from the grass.

Ma Guan said speechlessly: "You are so loud, all the prey are scared away."

The nobleman Hesheli hurriedly covered his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "This is the first time I come to hunt, I can't help it, and I will definitely not yell again in the future."

Everyone laughed out loud, and after a while, Ma Guan found another rabbit, but he missed three or four arrows, and everyone was extremely anxious to see it.

"Whoosh!" There was another sound of piercing through the air, and the fifth arrow finally hit the rabbit's back, and the rabbit immediately fell to the ground, gushing out a pool of blood, staining its fur red.

"I hit it! Big sister is amazing!" Mayanzhu beamed with joy, and jumped down to pick up the rabbit herself.

The rabbit was quite heavy, weighing about ten catties, and Mayanzhu could only hold it with two hands.

"This rabbit is quite cute, sister, can you stop hunting rabbits next time?" She looked at Ma Guan eagerly, her childlike innocence still intact.

"Okay, let's hunt goats and wild deer next time." Ma Guan is not very interested in rabbits, mainly because this thing is too small and runs so fast, which exposes her poor archery skills too much!

"Sister Defei, shall we roast rabbits tonight?" The nobleman Hesheli stared at the rabbit in Mayanzhu's arms and swallowed.

"Are you hungry again?" Ma Guan laughed, and nobleman Hesheli smiled awkwardly.

Everyone continued to move forward, and this time it took about a quarter of an hour before they saw the next prey.

It was a silly roe deer, standing behind the bushes and looking straight at them, so cute and cute, Ma Guan couldn't bear to do it.

"Sister, shall we catch the live ones?" Mayanzhu stared at the roe deer, unable to put it down.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an arrow suddenly flew from behind, instantly hitting the hind leg of the silly roe deer.The silly roe deer screamed and fell to the ground in pain, and then another arrow shot through its neck.

The roe deer died instantly.

"Who is it? It's so cruel." Mayanzhu's smile disappeared instantly.

When he saw the figure behind the bushes clearly, he couldn't help frowning.
