Now that the emperor spoke, Lu You calmly began to explain.

"Returning to my father, it is mentioned in the "Book of Rites · Moon Order" that spring is the season for all things to grow. Therefore, logging, destroying bird's nests, killing young animals and other behaviors that violate the weather are prohibited. Right now, the cherries are still hanging high on the branches , Spring is in full bloom, how can you shoot and kill a young tiger? My son just learned these etiquettes in the academy, and used them to test the ministers."

Having said that, he deliberately glanced at the crowd at the banquet.

"If someone doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette, and shoots with a bow and arrow, then I think that such a person is not qualified to continue to be an official in the court."

Everyone in the banquet was silent.Those few people who have not yet had time to shoot arrows silently thanked Tang Ruilang for his leadership.

After hearing Lu You's words, the emperor also twitched his beard and smiled and said, "It's rare that you have such a heart. I heard that you spend all your time here, watching things like hungry tigers attacking sheep. Originally, you wanted to Let me teach you a lesson."

Just as Lu You was about to answer, he heard the roar of the tiger on the school field for a while.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the tigress was going berserk in the cage, hitting the thick wooden pillar with her head and body hard.Although the wooden cage was heavy, it trembled from side to side.

The Hongwenkan students who were sitting closer to the wooden cage had already started to feel fear, and got up to avoid it.

Lu You was about to let the beast trainer go over to have a look, but heard another loud bang, and a scene that stunned everyone suddenly happened——

The shaking of the wooden cage became more and more violent, and finally it fell to the ground with an overwhelmed loud noise, and several of the wooden bars as thick as arms broke off.The tiger didn't hesitate at all, roaring and rushed out of the cage!

"It's terrible! Lao, the tiger is going to eat people!"

The students in the Hongwen Hall screamed.The entire animal garden was thrown into chaos, with howls, tables being overturned, and cups and plates falling to the ground one after another.Like a storm, accompanied by the stench and murderous smell of the tiger, it blew all the way from the south to the north.

Lu You's first reaction was to go to Tang Ruilang.However, in just a short while, there was chaos in front of them, everyone was running and evading, and it was impossible to distinguish their identities and appearances.

In desperation, he stepped onto the table next to him and looked to the south, just in time to see the furious tiger throwing down a student from the Hongwen Hall and biting that person's shoulder!

If he stays again, he will definitely end up the same as this person...

Lu You didn't have any weapons at hand, and he had never faced such a beast before, so he instinctively wanted to run away.

He looked around and saw that Emperor Huiming ① had left the throne surrounded by his attendants, and ran to the pavilion to the north, obviously wanting to go in for shelter.

However, at this moment, the real Zhao Yang is hiding in this building!

The tiger is on the side, and the disguise is about to be exposed - Lu You is like being attacked by the enemy, and he doesn't know what to do for a moment.

But Lu You never expected that no matter how much the attendants tried and beat, the door of the pavilion would not move at all...it was actually locked by Zhao Yang from the inside.

Is Zhao Yang afraid of the tiger, or is he unwilling to reveal his secret?

In any case, when his biological father, and the Ninth Five Lord, was in danger, he was able to ruthlessly close the door... Such a heart and blood were indeed cruel enough.

Lu You was stunned, and then a tiger roar sounded from behind his head!

He didn't dare to look back, so he took two steps forward, trying to join Emperor Huiming and his attendants.

These attendants are all eunuchs who have no strength to restrain a chicken, and their legs are already weak when they heard the roar of the tiger.Fortunately, the guards on the left and right had already heard the sound and ran over, raising their shields to protect the emperor.

Lu You originally wanted to seek protection from the imperial guards.However, before he could say a few words, the eunuchs suddenly pointed at his back and screamed.

"I'm coming!"

Before he could say it, a fishy smell gushed out from the back of Lu You's head!

Lu You's scalp was numb for a while, and he turned his head with a stiff neck.

I saw that the tigress was only eight or nine steps away from him, her golden eyes were bloodshot, and her mouth and chest were also stained scarlet.Each of the tiger palms was as big as Lu You's palm, with black claws like hooks, and blood-stained clothing fragments hanging on them.

If he was slapped with the palm, he might lose half his life...

Seeing that the prince was in danger, two guards with swords tried to stop him.Who knew that the fierce tiger didn't even look at them, and rushed towards Lu You!

Could it be that it was looking for Zhao Yang? !

The distance between the human and the tiger is too close, no one can rush over to help, Lu You knows that his life is hanging by a thread!

Dodge or resist?

He glanced at the emperor who was close at hand, and understood that he must not lead the tiger there, so he decisively dodged in the opposite direction to avoid it.

After all, as a martial artist, it is not difficult to avoid an attack; but after all, humans cannot outrun wild animals. Tigers are huge, and narrow places seem to be more conducive to avoiding them.

Lu You decisively walked around to the front of the screen, trying to use the throne to turn around and avoid it.

Who would have thought that the tigress was already hysterical, she didn't dodge when she saw an obstacle, instead she stood up and flew towards Lu You!

If you are thrown down, you will die!

Lu You shook his heart, bowed his head and rolled to the ground.

Hearing a "pa", the huge tiger's paw fell next to his head, and the stench of hot air violently sprayed on his face.

Lu You was so frightened that his eyes were dazzled, but he still instinctively grabbed what was at hand and smashed it forward.

He heard a "chuckle", and a burst of severe pain exploded on his arm!

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Youfang saw it clearly - the tigress had already jumped in front of him, and his little arm had already sunk into the tiger's mouth!If the gold-plated copper cup he grabbed just now got stuck in the tiger's mouth, his entire arm might have been bitten off right now!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu You quickly withdrew his hand from the tiger's mouth, ignoring the pain, got up and fled.

Fortunately among all misfortunes, the three legs of the copper cup seemed to have pierced the tiger's mouth, and the mouth was unable to open and close freely while supporting it.

But the tiger suffered from pain and became more and more irritable.

Those guards with swords seemed to feel that their weapons were too short, so they dare not go forward rashly.But it is absolutely impossible to delay like this...

Is there no one who can come to help him? !

Just when Lu You was at a loss, a cold arrow came through the air and hit the tiger's right ear!

It's...it's Tang Ruilang!

The person who could not be found just now suddenly appeared, holding the bow and arrow that he had just used in his hand.I saw that he lifted the string with his hand and shot another shot, which hit the tiger's right shoulder again.

The tigress was in pain, and after shaking twice, she didn't fall down. Instead, she turned her head and pounced on Tang Ruilang!

"Be careful!!"

Lu You was supported by the imperial guards who finally rushed over, but the three souls and seven souls had already flown to Tang Ruilang's side.

Over there, Tang Ruilang was clearly prepared, without any panic.

I saw him jumping onto the desk at the side first, then climbing over the guardrail of the school grounds from the desk, and dexterously stepped on the railing and took two steps, using his strength to climb up to the wooden post with the flag hanging on it.

At this time, the furious tiger had already pounced on the pillar, and slapped its claws on the pillar, leaving several deep claw marks.

The wooden pillar shook, but Tang Ruilang calmly climbed up a few more steps, and then clamped his feet firmly on the wooden pillar, and even leaned his upper body back, freeing his hands to bend the bow and take the arrow again.

The third arrow hit the tiger's right eye!

There was another deafening roar of the tiger, and the tigress finally lost her balance.

Immediately, the left and right guards swarmed up, and Lu You yelled "Swiss Franc" and rushed over.

The tiger was finally ambushed, and Rui Lang also jumped off the flag tree, and was immediately hugged tightly by Lu You.

"I am fine."

Tang Ruilang immediately hugged Lu You with his backhand, and whispered against his ear: "It's all over, let me see your hand..."

It wasn't until this moment that Lu You realized that his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, his legs had softened into a puddle of spring mud, and his whole body almost melted into Tang Ruilang's arms.

A total of 11 people were injured by the tigers in this sudden zoo fright, three of them seriously.There is also the son of the crown prince Taibao, who unfortunately was bitten off a large piece of flesh on his neck by a tiger.Long before the imperial doctor arrived, his face was already pale.

Lu You's right arm was also bitten by tiger teeth with several holes, but fortunately the wound was not too deep, so there was no serious problem.

The nature of the matter was so bad that the zoo was naturally ordered to close down.All the artists in the garden had to leave Zhaojing within three days.The children in the garden who kept and guarded the cages of tigers and leopards were executed, and even a group of tigers and leopards were killed.Even the guards who were not good at escorting were punished individually.

Those little tigers that Lu You couldn't bear to shoot did not escape the catastrophe in the end.

Since the guards and the imperial doctor were always around after the accident, Lu You was directly sent back to Huiqing Palace as King Xuan himself.Afterwards, people from all walks of life came to visit, and Empress Xiao felt even more heartbroken, and the disturbance barely subsided until dusk.

Just as Lu You wanted to take a breath, the real Zhao Yang slipped in from outside.

"How does this king know that the damn cage is so unstable?!"

Zhao Yang was crying and biting his nails, it was rare for him to lose his arrogance.

Lu You recalled how he locked the door and refused to let Emperor Huiming enter the house to take refuge, but he only felt that he was cold-blooded and terrifying.

But then again, it was precisely because of Zhao Yang's cold-bloodedness that the secret exposure of their two identities swapping was avoided.Moreover, the bloodbath in the zoo completely distracted Zhao Yang, leaving him no time to investigate Lu You's disobedience to his original intention and refusal to shoot the tiger.

Thinking of this, Lu You calmed down and asked Zhao Yang if he would switch his identity back now.Who knew that Zhao Yang smirked twice.

"I see that you have suffered such a serious injury. In the past few days, the king has specially allowed you to replace me and stay in Huiqing Palace to heal your injuries. You don't have to think about other things, I will make my own arrangements."

After all, he still didn't dare to make wounds on himself.

Although Lu You faintly felt that something was wrong, he didn't dare to resist, so he could only stay obediently.

After all, Huiqing Palace is the prince's bedroom, and the cost of food and clothing is much higher than that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.In addition, a group of palace people served tremblingly. Even when going to the toilet, one person burns incense, one person presents paper, and one person holds water.In all fairness, this is obviously the most extravagant experience Lu You has ever had in his life.

At noon on the second day, even Qi Yunchu came to visit.The two retreated to the left and right, and stayed alone in the bedroom.

Lu You was already full of suspicions: "The master said that day that you told me to be careful not to hurt myself... Those things happened in the end. Could it be that you expected it?"

"You are suspecting that the wooden cage was broken by me."

Qi Yunchu made it clear: "Otherwise, how would I know that you are going to get hurt?"

"Lu You dare not! Lu You just feels a little confused, but he absolutely dare not be suspicious of Duke Qiu!"

Lu You answered cautiously, but Qi Yunchu laughed and stretched out his slender fingers to lightly touch Lu You's chest.

"Conjectures and conjectures are generated in your own heart, and no one can interfere, so there is nothing you dare or dare to do. There is one thing, you have to remember carefully for me - in this world, if you don't find any real evidence, even if you don't You saw it with your own eyes, so it’s best to pretend you don’t know it. Just keep it in your heart.”

That jade-white finger just touched Lu You's chest lightly, but Lu You felt a chill penetrate into his heart all the time.

Immediately afterwards, this coldness lingered in the depths of his heart, and then spread to all parts of his body along with his blood.

He shuddered, struggling to get rid of this terrible feeling, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know when Zhao Yang will come back."

"You won't be able to leave for a while." Qi Yunchu lowered his head and fiddled with the lapis lazuli ring on his hand, "You should also feel a little bit. Do you really think Zhao Yang asked you to stay here to heal your injuries?"

To be honest, Lu You thought about it more than once during this period.He also didn't believe that Zhao Yang's conscience had discovered it, but he really didn't have the courage to think carefully about the real reason.

But at this moment, Qi Yunchu had brought him the answer.

"This time the incident became serious. Even if the boy in the animal garden was executed and a group of people were punished, the son of the crown prince and Taibao fell into the hands of Zhao Yang. Although the prince broke the law, he would not be guilty of the same crime as the common people, but the child There is no escape from the great commandment of punishment.”

"You mean, King Xuan wants me to take the punishment on his behalf?" Lu You thought thoughtfully, "What kind of punishment would that be...?"

"Thirty big boards. Don't worry too much, after all, the prince is receiving the punishment, and he won't hit all the boards."

Lu You suddenly took a deep breath: "But I...wouldn't this be exposed?"

Qi Yunchu didn't take it seriously: "The prince is a prince after all, and the punishment is just a gesture, not a humiliation. You don't have to take off your pants to hit the board. Besides, even if you really take off your pants, no one will turn your front to see what you said. As for the medicine, it is specially for you. It is not the first time that the medical officer that Zhao Yang saw was caught by him long ago, helping him to cheat and abduct him. The only thing you need to worry about is the pain of flesh and blood."

Of course Lu You didn't want to be beaten, but knowing that he couldn't escape, he could only nod his head.

Qi Yunchu was obviously very satisfied with his well-behaved, and reached out to pat his head again.

"I said a long time ago that a fall may not be a bad thing for you. If you do the next thing smartly and beautifully, not only Zhao Yang owes you a huge favor, but even Emperor Huiming and Empress Xiao will feel sorry for you." you."

"Emperor and Queen?"

Lu You asked back: "But I'm still just a shadow. Even if they feel sorry for them, it's just their own flesh and blood."

"Not always."

Qi Yunchu's hand turned from the top of Lu You's head to his cheek.

"Remember what I said once, whoever I want you to like, you will like whoever you like?"

Although there was still some grudge in his heart, Lu You still nodded: "I remember."

"very good."

Qi Yunchu's hand gently ran over Lu You's rosy lips.

"Then do you want to learn?"

The author has something to say: ①I didn’t plan to give the emperor an emblem before, but the writing was weird, so the emperor used the emblem "Huiming" at the beginning of this chapter.It was used until his death, and the posthumous title was changed after his death.
