The horse, led by Feng Zhang, scratched the ground a little irritably, raising its head from time to time, trying to break away from the reins.
Feng Zhang checked it carefully and already made a rough decision in his mind.
He gave the reins a sharp tug, and the horse quieted down again and sneezed disapprovingly.
Feng Zhang turned around and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with this horse. If Wei Chen guessed correctly, it must have been drugged."
As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar!
Emperor Mu Wu frowned: "Dose medicine?"
"That's right. These horses are usually raised and cared for by dedicated people, and their temperaments are well-trained, but now this horse is obviously much more anxious and violent." Feng Zhang paused, "Weichen knows a way, as long as the castor grass Mash it with three branches of nine-leaf clover and mix it into the grass, and the horses will become excited and irritable."
When Feng Zhang first entered the battlefield as a teenager, he was responsible for providing food and fodder for the army and horses, so he knew this very well.
Since he said that, then...
Emperor Mu Wu's face was as gloomy as water.
"So, someone did it on purpose?"
Every word is majestic and cold.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Hanguang knelt on the ground, "I have neglected my duty! I didn't find out the clues! Your Majesty, please convict me!"
Xiao Chengxuan also frowned.
Zhao Hanguang has always done things safely, how could this happen?
Emperor Mu Wu said nothing, and Zhao Hanguang and others did not even dare to raise their heads, they just knelt down.
Xiao Chengxuan said after careful consideration: "Father, Mr. Zhao is loyal and conscientious. He should not be able to do such a thing. Most likely, someone did it secretly and wanted to frame him."
After all, if this matter becomes a big deal, he will definitely be the first to be held accountable.
Emperor Mu Wu said coldly: "Whether it is dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty, we will not know until we find out!"
Xiao Chengxuan's heart skipped a beat and he immediately closed his mouth.
Zhao Hanguang was also extremely anxious and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty! Wei Chen is innocent! Wei Chen can swear on his life that Wei Chen didn't know about this from beginning to end!"
As the imperial concubine advised softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't make yourself angry." According to my concubine, Mr. Zhao can no longer be responsible for the investigation of this matter, but Mr. Han, as the young master of Guanglu Temple, Sir, you know a lot about these matters and have authority, so it will be much easier to investigate, why not...just leave it to him?"
The middle palace has been vacant for many years, and the imperial concubine is in charge of the sixth palace. She has a very high status, and her words in front of Emperor Muwu are also very important.
However, Emperor Mu Wu didn't listen to her this time.
"Su Wei."
"Wei Chen is here."
"I'll leave this matter to you. You must give me a satisfactory answer within three days!"
Su Wei immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"
The smile on Concubine Ru's face froze for a moment.
Your Majesty actually handed over this matter to Dali Temple for full investigation and handling?
Even if this incident involves the eldest princess, no one was hurt. Is it necessary to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?
But she never dared to say this. Her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Leave this matter to Mr. Su and the others. They will definitely find out soon. Your Majesty, please be at ease."
"Well, I'm fine anyway. If we continue to delay, today's polo match will be delayed." The eldest princess didn't seem to care much about this matter, and advised Emperor Mu Wu, "One year can take a long time." It’s just a fun time, why bother with such a trivial matter?”
Emperor Mu Wu was a little helpless: "Sister Huang."
He also understood that the eldest princess was thinking about the overall situation, so she finally walked down the steps and waved her hand to indicate that the polo match should continue.
Su Wei led people away from the scene, and Feng Zhang was also with him.
The horse and related personnel were naturally taken away.
Ye Heng looked at this scene with mixed feelings in his heart.
He is clearly from Dali Temple, but now he is not even qualified to participate in the investigation.
Since some time ago, he has made repeated mistakes, which has already made Su Wei dissatisfied.
He had only taken a few days of sick leave to recuperate at home, and he was already clearly marginalized.
He worked hard to get promoted to this position. Who knew he would face such a problem?
Ye Shixian saw his injustice and resentment and advised in a low voice: "Dad, don't worry about it. This case involves a lot. It would be a good thing not to get involved."
After hearing what she said, Ye Heng finally felt better.
He looked at the field and saw that Zhao Hanguang, Han Tong and others had returned to their respective positions, but he also knew that they must be sitting on pins and needles at this time. How could they still be in the mood to enjoy the polo match?
Ye Heng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Murong Ye. He turned around and asked, "By the way, what's going on with you recently? Just now, Murong Ye took the initiative to greet you outside. Why are you so cold?"
Ye Shixian frowned slightly when she heard the name.
She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "...In a large public place, with so many people watching, you still have to avoid suspicion."
Ye Heng suddenly realized and patted his thigh.
"Yes, yes, you are not officially engaged yet. It would be inappropriate if you are too close and let others see you."
He was a little annoyed: "Dad was negligent. Your mother should have been worried about these things. This..."
When he mentioned Gao, he paused.
With Gao's current situation, let alone taking care of these things, he couldn't even show up for events like polo matches. He couldn't help him at all, and he often broke things and lost his temper, which annoyed him.
So much so that he didn't even want to see her now, and he was just bored.
He suppressed these thoughts and said: "The words are good, but you can't be too distant. It seems to me that you haven't had much contact with him during this time. It's been a long time, this-"
"Don't worry, Dad, I know it well." Ye Shixian was impatient to hear this and interrupted him.
There were other people around, so it was hard to say too much, so Ye Heng had to swallow the rest of his words.
…
"I heard that the person who tamed that horse just now was a freshman from the Imperial College who took the first place in the two subjects of imperial archery when he first entered the Imperial Academy?" Emperor Mu Wu just sat down and asked about what happened just now.
The eldest princess smiled broadly: "Isn't that true? That child is not even thirteen years old yet, but he is very courageous."
As she spoke, she called Ye Yunfeng over with a smile.
"Come."
Emperor Mu Wu looked at Ye Yunfeng and nodded: "It is indeed rare to have such ability at such an age. By the way, the emperor just said that his surname is Ye?"
"Yes." The eldest princess's eyebrows were full of admiration, "What a coincidence, his sister is the one who treated me before."
Emperor Mu Wu was stunned for a moment: "Oh?"
He knew that a seventeen-year-old girl had rescued the eldest princess when she suddenly fell ill, but he had never seen her.
The eldest princess waved: "Chu Tang."
Ye Chutang bowed Yingying.
Emperor Mu Wu's eyes lingered on the faces of the two siblings for a moment, and he was stunned.
"It looks a little familiar..."
The eldest princess looked hesitant for a moment.
Ye Chutang lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, his voice clear and calm.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye. My father is a former doctor in the Ministry of Justice - Ye Zheng."
