Zhu Qingruo has never seen such a beautiful horse.
The long mane is whiter than that of a rabbit, and the eyes are more beautiful.
The moment she walked over, Wei Li stretched out his hand to lift her up. He directly lifted her onto the horse's back. Without waiting for her to panic and cry, he got on the horse and sat firmly behind her.
Zhu Qingruo sat on a high horse, covering her eyes as if afraid.
Just as the guards were about to step forward, they saw Wei Li waving his whip. The first one to rush forward was Qin Mu.
He was so anxious that his face turned red, and he held his breath and jumped on the horse, but was whipped by Wei Li. He covered half of his face and fell to the ground, gritting his teeth in pain but making no sound.
When Zhu Qingruo saw that he was beaten, he ordered with a tearful voice: "Don't beat him."
Wei Li grabbed the reins with one hand and hugged her small body, raised the whip with the other hand and made the horse run quickly.
Zhu Qingruo was jolted on the horse, so frightened that he even forgot to cry, and his little body huddled up.
Wei Li was not riding very fast. He kept his legs tightly clamped on the horse's belly to prevent it from running wild.
He heard Zhu Qingruo's sobbing cries, lowered his eyes and said, "Don't you want to ride a horse, Your Highness? You can ride once you learn how."
"I don't want it, I want my mother and concubine...I want my father..."
Wei Li frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, when you are in danger, only you are the most important."
"I am afraid."
“Everyone who rides a horse for the first time is scared.”
His tone was no longer so cold: "But there is always someone who can learn it. When you are on a horse, no matter what happens, don't let yourself fall off the horse."
Wei Li patiently taught Zhu Qingruo to maintain balance and hold on to the reins. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qin Mu who had been chasing him from time to time. The boy was quite stubborn and kept chasing him with blood on his face.
But how could he outrun a horse?
Wei Li took Zhu Qingruo Juechen away and headed straight into the dense woods.
It seems peaceful and peaceful there, but in fact it is full of dangers.
The horse snorted and gasped, as if he was aware of something.
After a while, countless cold arrows were shot from all directions.
The arrows rustled across the leaves and landed in the same direction.
Birds startled and deer ran around.
There was a deer that was shot in the hind legs. It staggered and couldn't run. In the end, it could only fall to the ground and scream.
Zhu Qingruo was stunned.
Wei Li reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, the world is far less cruel than this. You must be careful at all times."
"The fawn is injured and cannot find its mother."
Wei Li's eyes were filled with darkness, and he raised his hand to cover her eyes.
"It doesn't have a mother anymore."
…
On the other side, Xu Zhihuai's heart clenched tightly. It was almost suffocating her.
Although Wei Li said that everything should be done to the point, but what he said was never credible.
After An'er disappeared, Xu Zhihuai cried like a tearful person in front of Zhu Xuxing.
Zhu Xiuxing was furious and ordered everyone to inspect the paddock.
When Zhu Qingruo appeared again, she was sitting high and steady on the horse, not in a hurry, crying or making trouble. Wei Li followed closely beside her, holding the reins behind her back, looking very leisurely. Comfortable. A few steps away, Qin Mu, who was covered in dust and had a bruise on his cheek, followed.
Three people appeared at the same time in a completely incompatible manner.
Xu Zhihuai went crazy with anxiety.
Zhu Xuxing was confused.
Wei Li provoked first and then got into trouble today. He was too presumptuous and didn't even bother to pretend. But the first thing Zhu Qingruo said when she returned to his arms was, Father, I can ride a horse.
Wei Li looked at Xu Zhihuai's tearful eyes, raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a proud and proud expression.
Xu Zhihuai calmed down a little, looked away, took his daughter into his arms, and asked softly: "Did you scare An'er?"
Zhu Qingruo hugged her neck tightly and said, "No."
"Did you fall?"
"No, I didn't fall at all. But Qin Mu was injured, he hit him..."
Xu Zhihuai asked Jinhua to check Qin Mu's injuries. There was a bloody cut on his face, and half of his face was swollen. There were many injuries on his body, and his knees, elbows, and thighs were all scratched.
While disinfecting and applying medicine, Qin Mu didn't even hum and sat there quietly.
Zhu Qingruo came over to take a look.
"Does it still hurt?"
Qin Mu shook his head.
"you're lying."
Qin Mu still shook his head.
Xu Zhihuai came over, stretched out his hand and patted his head: "You did a good job today. You never forget to protect the princess."
Qin Mu lowered his head and said gloomily: "I didn't protect the princess well. I was too weak."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes flashed slightly and he touched his head again: "It's not that you are too weak, it's that Marquis Qingyi is too strong."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment: "One day, I will become stronger than Qingyi Hou."
A small boy with big ambitions.
Xu Zhihuai said softly: "I believe you can do it."
The storm during the day was like a huge wave, hitting Zhu Xuxing's heart hard.
It was getting late at night, and the candlesticks in the imperial study were added one after another, making them as bright as day. However, he still felt that it was not enough, so he had all the lanterns in the courtyard lighted.
The palace maid came back cautiously and sent a message: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is alone in the Imperial Study. I heard from the eunuchs serving tea that the Emperor has always been worried."
Xu Zhihuai put down his tea bowl: "The emperor has something on his mind, how can I sit back and ignore it?"
Wei Li has done so many things, so it’s time for her to go and support him.
When Zhu Xuxing saw her coming, he said calmly: "Why don't you stay with An'er? She was frightened today."
Xu Zhihuai said softly: "Your Majesty, An'er went to bed early. She didn't cry or fuss, and she even drank half a bowl of lotus seed soup."
Children's moods always recover quickly.
Zhu Xuxing was still worried: "Wei Li went too far today. I have already drafted an edict to remove him from his rank and demote him to the fifth rank."
Cut off the title?
Xu Zhihuai's eyebrows moved and his heart beat faster.
This is the first time that he has dealt such a heavy blow to him!
"Your Majesty, are you serious about this? The Marquis of Qingyi holds a high position and has always won the trust of the Emperor."
Zhu Xuxing's eyes were heavy: "He asked for this. After so many years, he still hasn't learned his duty as a human subject."
His decisive tone made Xu Zhihuai secretly excited.
The fun comes so early?
"Your Majesty, you have made such a big decision for me and An'er. I am so flattered...I don't know what to say for a moment."
"I'm not doing it all for you, I'm doing it for myself."
It was rare for Zhu Xuxing to be honest.
Xu Zhihuai hurriedly walked to his side, held his hand and comforted him softly: "I understand the emperor's difficulties. Wei Li does not deserve the emperor's trust and respect. He is a despicable person."
Zhu Xuxing suddenly became serious and held her wrist with his backhand: "Do you really think so?"
Xu Zhihuai nodded piously: "Yes."
The guilty edict shocked both the government and the public.
The majestic Qingyi Hou Weili actually became a fifth-rank Emperor Secretary!
Although the Fourth Division of Huangji is still his, he no longer has the status of chartered imperial power. From now on, he can only deal with the officials according to their grades. Once he is unruly, he will be guilty.
Wei Li had offended too many people. Seeing that he had lost power, they all wanted to add insult to injury and take revenge.
However, most people just think about it, waiting for someone who is not afraid of death to take action first.
