The empress couldn't be bothered to argue with him right now, so she decided to check on the situation first. When the emperor introduced Dongfang Ning to the crowd just now, she wasn't willing for anything to happen to Dongfang Ning. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to carry out her plan.
Because it was used to raise fierce beasts, only the outside area would be managed by people. No one knew about the situation inside, the garden had already existed for hundreds of years, and no one knew what kind of beasts were inside.
"I heard that there are quite a few poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts!"
"That's right, the princess has a priceless body. If we were to enter it by mistake, the odds are against us …"
"I've only heard of Beast Garden, but I haven't seen it before. Living in the palace for dozens of years in vain …"
"…"
The three hundred people walked in the same direction in a grandiose manner. They chatted as they walked, talking about all sorts of things.
The ones walking at the back were actually Old Princess Soong and her son, Song Qiuhan. Since her injuries were not long ago, Song Qiuhan supported her along the way.
"Bodhisattva will protect the princess. Qiuhan, don't wait for me anymore. Hurry up and get the princess back. We haven't repaid her for her kindness yet …"
The mother and son of Soong Family had also come to participate in this palace banquet.
"Mom, don't worry. It won't be that easy. Wuzhan has sent someone to protect her. If you're better, then don't go. Sit here and wait for me. I'll go take a look."
"Alright, you have to leave faster!"
Old Princess Soong was worried in her heart, thinking that if she didn't walk fast, she shouldn't waste her son's time saving his life. Thus, she listened to Song Qiuhan's arrangement and sat down in a small pavilion by the roadside.
"Crown Prince, you should be guarded in dangerous places, right?"
Dongfang Haotian and the other princes also rushed over. He was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart. Without even thinking, he knew that there was definitely a conspiracy behind this, thus he asked a key question.
He had been a little far from Princess Anning, so he hadn't been able to clearly see her figure. However, he had heard many rumors regarding her while he had been touring the capital for the past few days.
He had not only heard the rumors on the surface, he had also heard very clearly about everything, including the fact that Dongfang Ning had disguised herself as a man and went to gamble in Ru Yi Pavilion.
There were very few women who would dare to punish a tyrant and use him as a friend. Although her actions seemed to be done casually, after careful consideration, she had offense and defense at every step. If she really wanted to marry a princess, this woman was a good choice.
"Naturally, there are people specially guarding it. My third brother has been naughty since childhood and likes all kinds of beasts. Therefore, the emperor has given his Beast Garden to him to take care of."
"If that's really the case, the princess will definitely not be able to enter!"
"That's right …"
Is that so?
He couldn't help but ask himself, of course not … His mother's scheme had never failed, but he felt pain in his heart.
Fang Ning, God bless you, right?
Second Prince and Yan Wuchen were the first to rush towards the Beast Garden: "Woman, you must not get into trouble!"
At this moment, his face was filled with coldness. The playboy and popinjay look had disappeared without a trace. His cold eyes were extremely frightening. However, no one could see his expression.
"That slut is truly courting death. She dares to go anywhere. I heard that Third Prince even threw a palace maid to feed the tiger."
"Cousin, although you have a grudge with the princess..." "Let's not talk too much."
Cen Shuang’er felt that her two cousins were in trouble. She was always angry at that country woman.
"Qing’er, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
With a "hmph" sound, she walked a few steps faster and left these two hateful cousins. When she returned home, she must tell her mother that she can't let her brother marry this woman!
"Sister, why are you always getting along with Sister Shuang’er? How will you get along with her in the future when you get married?"
"Yu'er, you know what I'm thinking, sigh!"
"I hope the princess is fine!"
"Yes!"
The forest in front of them gave off a strong eerie feeling, which was completely different from the feeling they felt when they looked at the lakeside earlier. The June weather was still very hot at this point, and they only felt cool and refreshing by the lakeside. After coming to this place, the cold feeling made them feel terrified, because the little girl said that Dongfang Ning had already entered.
The word "Beast" was written with a wolf-like totem of a face and fangs. The faces of those who were timid to the point that their legs were trembling, none of them dared to move forward. Who knew if there were any wild beasts inside.
"What's going on!?" "Who did it!?" At this time, the emperor Yan Yihan had also rushed over. He was riding a fine horse with a large group of imperial guards following behind him.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately asked who did it and didn't think it was an accident.
"Empress, tell us what happened!" He had never spoken in such a severe tone before, and had always maintained a bit of respect towards Huangfu Family, but at this time, his face was filled with anger, and he looked flustered and exasperated.
"All of you, quickly go in and save Princess Anning! If anything goes wrong with your peace of mind, you will all die with us! "
Without waiting for the empress's reply, he anxiously rushed towards the Beast Garden. A few ministers immediately went forward and pulled him in. "The emperor has a body of gold, you can't take any risks. Wait for this old subject to go in, the emperor is waiting outside!"
When the guards heard the order, they immediately rushed inside. There was a small path inside, and beside the small path was a guard camp, but now that there was no one inside, they were alarmed and quickly walked forward, hoping that the door was closed.
Another three hundred meters before them was Beast Garden's wall and gate. As long as they close the door, there would be no danger outside, but these few years, Third Prince had made this place extremely terrifying, even the weeds by the side of the road could not be repaired. A group of people hurriedly walked forward, and prayed in their hearts: "Hopefully that door is closed …"
The sound of horse hooves woke up the beasts in the Beast Garden. From afar, one could see that the gate was actually open!
"You, quickly go back and tell everyone to return to their rooms and hide, the Beast Garden door is open, send more people over immediately!" Huangfu City was very unlucky to just happen to be on duty, but luckily he was calm and collected, giving out missions to his subordinates first.
"Brothers, everyone be careful. These beasts are extremely ferocious, so all of you should take light steps back. Wait for them to come before hunting them!"
"You, you … "You guys climb the tree and watch the situation. Don't disturb them."
He had just finished a series of tasks when he heard — —
"Roar ~ ~" Suddenly, a shadow darted out from the garden. It smelled the scent of a stranger. These people weren't people who usually fed them. It pounced on a guard.
"Up the tree!"
Everyone saw that it was a huge tiger. They only saw that it missed its pounce and actually circled around the tree, occasionally raising its head to yell at the people on the tree.
"Roar ~ Roar ~"
At this moment, two more tigers appeared …
Their fierce eyes looked around...
"Fly away from that tree, don't make any noise, don't attract any more beasts …"
It had to be said that the training of the soldiers in Huangfu Family was not bad. Faced with such a sudden change, they could still calmly deal with it.
