The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 13
Back in Beijing, life finally became lively again.Jinse only felt that she had endured a lot of hardships on the mountain, and now even living in Prince Ning's Mansion is considered a blessing.

And even more fortunately, Su Li's strange behavior on Mount Min did not continue to return to Beijing.After returning to Beijing, he treated Jinse with the same indifference as before, he never stepped into Jinse's garden once, and occasionally bumped into Jinse in the mansion, but only had a casual glance.

Jinse actually enjoys this kind of life very much, so the colder Su Li treats her, the more comfortable she will live.

One month later, it was the annual winter hunting season.

The length of winter hunting varies each year, and the journey to and from the paddock takes three or four days, and the length of the hunting period depends on the emperor's interest.

The current Holy Majesty seems to be very keen on winter hunting. Jinse heard that since he took the throne, the winter hunting period has exceeded ten days every year.

As the new concubine who joined the royal family this year, Jinse, who was appointed by the emperor to go with her, huddled in the carriage tightly wrapped in a cloak, and dared not leave her body like a scarf and hood, really didn't understand what fun it was.Since she was a child, she was afraid of the cold, and she only felt that riding a horse to hunt in the paddock on this freezing day was simply a lunatic's act!
"Alas." Looking at the dark cloud-covered weather outside the carriage, Jinse said weakly, "Lu He, if I freeze to death in the paddock this time, you have to remember to find a place with good geomantic omen to bury me."

Before Lu He could answer, a sharp low cough suddenly came from outside the carriage.

Jinse sat up straight and looked at Song Jingtao who happened to be passing by outside the carriage: "Father."

Song Jingtao frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Keep your mouth shut, and don't be rude when you see the emperor when you turn around!"

Jinse was blown by the cold wind and couldn't help but sneezed, but she held back the second sneeze under Song Jingtao's piercing eyes, and nodded hurriedly: "Got it."

That evening, just after arriving at the place where he stayed overnight, Su Li was called into the emperor's big tent to speak.When he came out of the emperor's big tent, he could see a person standing in front of a big tent in the distance with a distant glance. He was wrapped in so many layers of clothes. He looked chubby, but he was still jumping from the cold. It sounds ridiculous.

He had never seen Jinse before or during the journey, and only then did he realize that she had dressed himself up like this, so he couldn't help frowning again.

When Jinse felt that she was about to be frozen, she turned her head and saw him coming, she hurriedly stopped beating, and bowed to him: "My lord."

"What are you doing standing here?" Su Li looked at her indifferently, and seemed to hear something moving inside the tent.

Speaking of it, Jinse felt aggrieved: "I wanted to go in, but just as I walked in, I saw a mouse jump under the bed."

Hearing this, Su Li's expression suddenly sank, and he turned to the attendant behind him: "Who will manage the camp this time?"

"Go back to the prince, it's Qin Shangshu."

"Tell him to come see the king." Su Li ordered, and turned to another large tent not far away, and after lifting up the heavy felt curtain, he looked back at Jinse who was still standing there, shivering from the cold , "Still coming in?"

His big tent is much wider and warmer than Jinse's.As soon as Jinse entered, her nose was itchy due to the warmth that hit her face, and she sneezed twice.

Su Li's attendant Du was a ghost from a young age, upon seeing this, he hurriedly said: "My lord and my concubine rest first, and this slave will go to the imperial doctor to prepare some medicine for the princess to remove the cold."

Only Su Li and Jinse were left in the tent.Jinse found a place to sit down, Su Li ignored her, and looked at the topographic map of the paddock in the tent, marking the scope of this year's winter hunting.

Jinse quietly approached him, looked beside him silently for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there a place called Haoyuya in the paddock?"

Su Li glanced at her and said coldly, "No."

Jinse also knew that such a place name would never appear in a place like the paddock that makes men's blood boil, but she was still not reconciled. She carefully observed the terrain near the paddock and silently remembered it in her heart.

This side of her was concentrating on studying the topographic map, while on the other side, Qin Shangshu who was in charge of camping had already arrived, so Su Li didn't care about Jinse any more.

When Jinse finally memorized the topographical map and turned around with a long sigh of relief, she happened to see Qin Shangshu leaving the big tent in disgrace, presumably being punished.

Jinse couldn't help sniggering, Su Li glanced at her, then turned into the inner tent suddenly, and when she came out again, she suddenly threw something on Jinse's head: "Put it on if you're afraid of the cold."

Jinse pulled it off and looked, but it was a big cloak of unknown texture, it was warm to the touch, just holding it like this, already felt warm.

Although she knew it was wrong, Jinse accepted it without hesitation when she was very likely to freeze to death: "Thank you, my lord."

Su Li's big cloak was really a treasure. When he put it on on the second day, the chill didn't invade him at all, and he felt like he was in a warm room.Such a winter day is an unprecedented luxury for her.

In the afternoon, the mighty team finally arrived at the camp outside the paddock.

Jinse felt something was wrong when she got off the carriage.

Although there were not many accompanying female family members during this winter hunt, all of them were masters with status and status.There were four accompanying concubines of the emperor, and the carriage lined up in front of Jinse. When they got off the carriage and saw Jinse, everyone had subtle expressions on their faces.

Jinse naturally knew that this subtlety was not due to herself, so she couldn't help but look down at the cloak on her body.

When she raised her head again, there was already a graceful beauty standing in front of her, smiling at her gently and subtly: "Sister Jinse is really lucky."

Jinse recognized that this was Concubine Zhuang, so she bowed and said, "Why did Concubine Zhuang make such a statement?"

Concubine Zhuang reached out her hand to touch the cloak tightly wrapped around Jinse's body, and said with a smile, "You don't know the origin of this cloak? Have you ever heard of the Yi clan?"

Jinse frowned slightly, and seemed to have a vague impression that it was a nation that was wiped out by Qingyue.

"The Nayi people are mysterious and unpredictable, and the place where they live together is full of rare treasures from all over the world. It is said that this cloak is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Nayi people. "

Jin Sewan didn't expect this thing to be so big, and was a little startled for a moment.

Concubine Zhuang smiled lightly, and said again: "Two years ago, the emperor got this treasure and gave it to the queen mother. At that time, King Ning was not healthy, and the queen mother was distressed, so she gave it to King Ning again. Unexpectedly, King Ning I gave it to my sister."

Having said that, there is nothing to make Jinse curious.

The reason why the concubines looked at this cloak a few more times is that when the emperor got it, everyone was staring at it, and the emperor probably had no choice but to give it to the queen mother.

Jinse didn't have the slightest interest in these things, so when she came to her senses, she just casually played with a bunch of hair, and replied with a smile: "So that's how it is."

Concubine Zhuang turned a blind eye to her rudeness, and she still smiled: "You don't pay attention to such treasures, and your temperament is exactly the same as that of King Ning. You really answered the sentence - you don't belong to the same family, and you don't enter the family."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked away, leaving Jinse wearing that unique treasure in the world, feeling out of breath.

After entering her own tent, Jinse hurriedly took off her cloak and said to herself, "Give it back to him."

"Do you dare?" Lu He sneered beside him, turned around and went out to fetch hot water.

Jinse sighed helplessly.She really didn't dare.Su Li's temperament is weird and unpredictable, she absolutely dare not provoke him now.After much deliberation, he decided to put on the cloak again, lest Su Li see it and provoke him to act like a lunatic.

After resting for a while and having some food, Jinse took Lu He out to familiarize herself with the surrounding terrain.

The place where the camp was set up was actually far away from the paddock, so Jinse couldn't see the style of the royal paddock, but she didn't seem to care about it at all.

According to the topographical map she wrote down earlier, there are actually high mountains outside the vast and flat paddock. There are high mountains in the east, northeast, south, and southwest, but I don't know which mountain has the cliff she is looking for.

Jinse was thinking silently, and when she was looking around, she suddenly saw Song Jingtao coming from the front, and hurriedly stood still: "Father."

Song Jingtao turned to walk towards her, but when his eyes touched the cloak on Jinse's body, his body froze slightly.

"Father?" Jinse saw that something was wrong, "What's wrong with father?"

Song Jingtao looked at her with deep eyes, and there was a hint of gray in his face: "This is...that King Ning gave you?"

Jinse nodded slightly puzzled.

Ever since she was a child, Jinse remembered her father as being serious and serious. In her impression, she never saw his father's expression unstable. She always felt that his father's face would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed. However, at this moment, she Seeing that his father's face changed because of a cloak, he was not surprised.

Song Jingtao seemed to use all his strength to calm himself down. Seeing that his hands were bruised, Jinse still stretched out his hand to caress her shoulder: "Since the prince treats you well, I feel at ease as a father."

"Father?" Jinse asked tentatively, "Is there something weird about this cloak?"

Song Jingtao's face changed suddenly, but he returned to his sternness: "This is a rare treasure in the world, how can you let you talk nonsense?"

Jinse pouted, and put her hands into the cloak to keep warm in aggrieved manner.

"After two days of exhaustion, why are you wandering around here if you don't serve the prince to rest?" Song Jingtao said again, "Why don't you go back soon?"

Jinse suddenly doubted whether she was born to her father, but she dared not say this anyway, so she turned around respectfully and walked towards the big tent in Suli.

The meal had just been delivered in the big tent in Su Li, and he was sitting in front of the low couch moving his chopsticks slowly and gracefully, and he didn't lift his eyelids when Jinse walked in.

Jinse was very afraid that she would be kicked out by him and let her father see her, so she obeyed her father's order, sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "My lord, I will refill your wine for you."

Hearing this, Su Li finally raised his eyes and gave her a cold look.

The wine in the hot pot was just right, and when Jinse smelled the wine, she became greedy, poured a glass for Su Li, and was about to ask him for a glass, but the felt curtain of the big tent was suddenly raised, and Xiao Du stepped aside. And enter: "My lord, it's not a big deal—"

The word "good" choked in his throat after seeing Jinse.Jin Se naturally knew the interest, just as she was about to get up and leave, Su Li had already stood up, walked to the door of the big tent, heard Xiao Du whisper a few words, and then walked out of the big tent without looking back.

Jinse rubbed her nose, drank several glasses of wine in an aboveboard manner, and then left Zuli's big tent with Luhe.

Unexpectedly, something happened that night.

It was already midnight when Jinse was awakened by a sudden movement.

She only heard a lot of noisy footsteps outside, accompanied by small and hazy conversations, it seemed that there were many guards walking back and forth, and they didn't want to disturb anything.

Jinse had already been alarmed, so she wanted to get up to see what happened, but she didn't expect that just as she sat up on the bed, there was a hand on her shoulder!

Jinse was terrified, and opened her mouth to scream, but the owner of that hand seemed to have recovered, and stretched out his hand to cover her mouth.

His hands were sweating cold, and his palms were a little salty.

Jinse was forced to look up to see who this person was, but only heard a cold and hoarse voice in the darkness: "It's me."

Zuli!

Jinse took a deep breath, and then Su Li slowly let go of his hand. The next moment, he sat down on Jinse's bed a little bit unbearably.

"What are you doing?" Jinse felt that something was wrong, and the people outside might be related to him, so she lowered her voice and asked.

Su Li's breathing was heavy for some reason, but he just said, "Don't make noise!"

Jinse's nose suddenly smelled of blood, and she couldn't help being shocked: "Are you bleeding?"

She got up and wanted to light the lamp, but Su Li grabbed her, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't move!"

Jin Se really sat still.The outside looked like a search for people, but Su Liming was injured, but he didn't dare to expose it, and hid quietly in her tent.

He sure is weird.

Jinse was thinking quietly, when Su Li's hoarse voice suddenly came from next to her ear: "I want them to leave this place."

How easy is it to ask outsiders to leave?

Jinse pondered for a moment, then reached out and touched his clothes: "Where is your injury?"

"On the back."

Jinse got up, groped to the dressing table, found the powder, sprinkled some around the tent to cover the bloody smell on Su Li, and then returned to the side of the bed.

A moment later, an earth-shattering cry came from Princess Ning's big tent: "Ah——"

The guards who searched outside had doubts about this big tent, but they didn't dare to trespass. At this moment, they heard a cry of alarm, and immediately rushed into the big tent with torches under the leadership of the leader Zhang Huan.

The tent suddenly brightened up, and the two people on the bed who were only in their pajamas seemed to be startled, then Jinse screamed again, Su Li pulled the cloak over his face to cover Jinse, turned his head coldly He yelled: "Presumptuous!"

Startled, Zhang Huan quickly knelt down on the ground, and the guards behind him also knelt down one after another.

Jinse quietly pulled down a seam of the cloak, but saw the bloody wound on Su Li's back at a glance, she was startled, looked again, and found that not only was his head dripping with cold sweat after he said those two words, Lips are a little pale.Fortunately, those people knelt there with their heads bowed and couldn't see them.

Su Li's voice still sounded cold: "Princess Ning wakes up from a nightmare, and you, the commander of the guards, come in and inspect it yourself. Which family's rule is this?"

"Back to the lord, the servants and others found a mysterious person with evil intentions at Nanshan, chased all the way here, and heard Princess Ning yelling, thinking that the person had entered the tent of the princess. I was afraid that the princess would be in danger. I was in a hurry and disregarded the etiquette. Please Forgive me, my lord!" Zhang Huan knelt there with his head down, but his voice was neither humble nor overbearing.

Su Li sneered: "This king will never forgive you for your crime."

So even if Zhang Huandang was taken down, he just waited for tomorrow.

After this commotion, the guards who had lingered here gradually dispersed, fearing that they would accidentally offend King Ning again and be charged with a crime in vain.

Xiao Du hurried over after the guards dispersed, and when he saw Su Li's situation, he exclaimed, "My lord, why are you so careless!"

Jinse sat huddled at the low table, holding a cup of hot tea, and glanced at Xiao Du from time to time as he tended Su Li's wound.

Su Li really could bear it, such a long and deep gash, his whole face turned pale from the pain, but he still didn't make a sound.

After Xiao Du hesitated to speak for a few times, Jinse finally couldn't help standing up, and moved her stiff hands and feet: "My lord, do you want me to avoid it?"

Su Li had just wrapped the bandage around her body, when she heard the words, she glanced at her: "Come here."

Jinse walked over obediently, Su Li raised his hand and handed her the cloak: "It's easy to sit in the past."

Jinse was dumbfounded, so she took the cloak and returned to sit at the low table.

Xiao Du then stopped hesitating, and said bluntly: "My lord, according to my servant, Zhang Huan must have become suspicious about today's incident. Nanshan is so hidden, how can the meeting between the lord and General Qin happen to be so coincidental? General Qin has never been caught, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Su Li fastened his clothes slowly, and heard Xiao Du say: "Although it is a good thing to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Huan this time, everyone knows that Zhang Huan is the emperor's confidant, and the prince took him down. Doesn't it make it clear that he wants to get rid of Zhang Huan?" The emperor is against you? Or, or..."

Xiao Du said while looking at Su Li's face.

But Su Li just looked at Jinse, and after a long time said, "What did you hear?"

Jinse was dozing off with a cup of tea shaking her head, when she heard this, she stood up quickly, poured the tea all over her body, cleaned up in a hurry, and then looked at Su Li: "My lord just asked me what? "

Su Li lightly pursed his thin lips, and waved Xiao Du back.

Jinse clasped her fingers tightly together, looking very nervous.

Su Li stood up and walked towards her step by step.Probably because the wound was really painful, he walked very slowly with every step, Jinse only felt more and more oppressed, and when he couldn't help but want to run away, Su Li finally walked in front of her.

"Song Jinse, is it fun to pretend to be stupid?" Su Li slightly raised the corners of his lips, but his eyes were full of sarcasm, "It's been so long, and you still enjoy it."

Jinse blinked and looked at him: "Why did the prince say that?"

But Su Li didn't seem to have heard her question, and continued: "If you like this way, I will follow you. The night of the bridal chamber, the changes in the palace, the trip to Minshan, all you pretending to be stupid This king can pretend to be ignorant of everything. And the reason why you do this is because you are afraid that this king will be interested in you?"

While speaking, his brows became more and more serious, and his face got closer and closer.

Jinse leaned back without any trace, and said with a sneer: "My lord, don't your wounds hurt? If you bend your body like this, be careful to bleed again."

Jinse knew that it would not be so easy to divert his attention, so she just tried.

Sure enough, Su Li was not fooled: "This king is interested in you, so what? You are not unparalleled in the world, and this king does not have to rely on you. Song Jinse, you think too highly of yourself."

He even said that he was interested in her!Under Jinse's shock, she felt a little helpless and sad.

In this way, she didn't think highly of herself at all, but looked down on herself a bit.That's all, what made her suffer even more was his ulterior secrets and goals, he didn't avoid her, and made it clear that he wanted to drag her into the water together!

Jinse felt very distressed, especially when facing him all the time, it seemed even more weird.

Today is the first day of hunting. As a prince, it is really unreasonable for Su Li not to mount a horse and shoot a bow. However, his injuries absolutely do not allow him to do so. So Xiao Du thought of a way for him, which is to stay in Jinse In the tent, don't show up.

Jinse naturally knew what kind of misunderstanding this would convey to outsiders, but because his life was more important, she still succumbed to staying in the tent and never left.

"Alas." When Jinse sat at the low table No.12 sighed, Su Li No.12, who was resting on the bed, glanced at her, and finally said: "Pour a glass of water here."

Jin Se didn't want to move, so Xiao Du came in with a few books and said, "Xiao Du, pour a glass of water for your prince."

Xiao Du was taken aback, looked at Su Li's face that had quickly cooled down, coughed slightly, and suppressed a smile: "Princess, you are still the one to pour this glass of water, the prince will drink it more freely."

"I don't." Jinse turned her head to look at Su Li, and said these two words with a smile.
