Chapter 22: Emergencies
Chapter 22 Emergencies
Ruan Youqing has always known that there is a hunting ground north of Ningguo's palace.
The hunting ground is surrounded by a mountain that is not too high. Because it is close to the imperial palace, the other side of the mountain is always guarded by heavy soldiers, and ordinary people cannot approach it.
The animals in this hunting ground are almost all caught by the guards from the forest at the foot of the mountain, and then kept in captivity in the hunting ground. Therefore, this hunting ground is not very dangerous. Therefore, most of the people who love to come to this hunting ground on weekdays are the women in the palace and the noble ladies who are friendly with them.
But now it is spring, and some large animals in the mountains will inevitably venture into the hunting ground.
For example, the lion that made Li Ange so excited.
When the two arrived at the hunting ground, Ruan Youqing was a little helpless after seeing the scene that came into view.
Just because...she is not the only one in the palace who is as bold and curious as Li Ange.
Beside the lion cage, there were already people standing far away.
Waiting for Li Ange to walk over and call out the imperial concubine, the other party turned around.
A pair of beautiful eyes was a little surprised, but when he saw Li Ange, the other party's eyes were full of tenderness.
She is the imperial concubine who is most loved by the current emperor, Su Yuan.
The biological mother of the second prince.
Ruan Youqing remembered this imperial concubine very clearly.
Just because... when the emperor died, she was buried.
Ruan Youqing didn't know whether these people who had disappeared in the memory would change something because of her rebirth.
…
"Just now, I was thinking about the news that a lion was hunted in the hunting ground. If you knew about it, you would definitely come and take a look." After seeing Li Ange, the imperial concubine smiled gently and said.
Li Ange narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's still the imperial concubine who understands me!"
"Come and take a look, it may be a little tired, it doesn't look particularly fierce."
Before Ruan Youqing could react, Li Ange pulled her forward.
Sure enough, such a ferocious beast was lying on the ground very lazily when it was locked in a cage. Even if someone approached, it wasn't irritable, it just raised its eyelids lazily.
Just…
Ruan Youqing inadvertently caught a glimpse of the ring that locks the cage, as if...
Some... cracks?
Before Ruan Youqing could speak, Li Ange picked up a twig from nowhere, and with an excited face, he took the twig to poke the lion's... ass.
Ruan Youqing: "???"
Not only that, Li Ange actually poked lightly, and turned around to Ruan Youqing and Su Yuan with a smile and said, "Didn't the folks say that you can't touch a tiger's butt? Today, I, Li Ange, will try it. The lion's butt... can't be touched." have to!"
Su Yuan shook her head helplessly: "An Ge, you little girl, don't say anything casually...those two..."
Before the last word was finished, the lion in the cage suddenly stood up and rushed towards where Li Ange was standing.
The whole cage was shaken accordingly.
Li Ange was so frightened that he turned pale and took several steps back.
"This... is really untouchable." Li Ange said bitterly.
Ruan Youqing, on the other hand, looked serious, staring at the rings that locked the cage.
Sure enough...
It's going to split.
But Li Ange and Su Yuan still haven't realized the real danger.
Especially Li Ange, after he calmed down the fear just now, he wanted to join in again.
Ruan Youqing hurriedly reached out and grabbed her, then pretended to be terrified:
「Ange! Stop! The cage! It seems to be opening!」
"What?" Li Ange was in disbelief.
Apparently, she really didn't notice that the clasp was split.
Su Yuan, after hearing Ruan Youqing's words, immediately looked in the direction of Huankou.
At this moment, the originally quiet lion became agitated again.
Although Li Ange trembled a little, she still stood in front of Ruan Youqing and Su Yuan:
"Quick, let's go... before it breaks the cage completely."
Facing the cage, several people stepped back nervously.
At this time, the guards standing in the distance saw something was wrong here, and hurried over.
Perhaps human emotions infected the lion. The lion's eyes were a little red, and it slammed into the cage even more frantically.
Finally, the cracked buckle was completely broken.
The cage...opened.
And the lion also saw that the cage had been opened at the first time, with its **** mouth open, and rushed out.
Go straight to Ruan Youqing and the others.
Ruan Youqing's eyes became cold.
"You guys... quickly... step back!" Li Ange was crying as he spoke.
But at this time, Su Yuan's legs were weak.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing hurriedly reached out and took her arm.
Afterwards, with the help of a mention, Su Yuan stood up.
At this time, Su Yuan was full of panic, so naturally he didn't care about what Ruan Youqing did.
The lion is close at hand.
Li Ange took out the dagger that was always in his arms, but his hands couldn't stop shaking.
It's... impossible to kill this lion!
But if it can't be killed...
Damn...
That's them!
It's all her fault!
Why do you want to provoke a wild beast!
Li Ange almost hated himself to death.
But there is no way, they are the only ones closest to the lions.
And the only one who can stand against a lion...
And only her.
The guards in the distance saw the lion rushing out suddenly, and the three people in the field, none of them can have an accident! So the guard ran desperately in that direction while calling for his companions.
But the hunting ground is very large, and the cage where the lion is kept is at the innermost.
Ruan Youqing saw that the lion was about to fall on Li Ange, but her hand holding the dagger was trembling.
Regardless of other things, Ruan Youqing picked up a stone from the ground.
After accurately viewing the angle, Ruan Youqing threw the stone with lightning speed.
Li Ange, who was pale, seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and did not dare to move.
Just after smelling the **** heat that belonged to the lion's mouth, Li Ange felt a sudden stabbing pain in a certain part of her arm, and her hand holding the dagger stabbed out like a conditioned reflex.
Are you... stabbing a lion in the eye?
Before she could react, she felt a force pulling herself back suddenly.
Before he had time to turn his head, Li Ange heard the lion's crazier roar.
is injured, it is easier to provoke this beast.
Ruan Youqing pulled Li Ange back a few steps, and saw the lion continue to charge.
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Youqing's heart suddenly moved, and then he uttered in horror: "An Ge! It's scary!"
Only then did Li Ange realize that Ruan Youqing was behind her.
At this time, she didn't have time to think about where the domineering power just came from.
"Why are you back, you idiot!" Li Ange was a little annoyed.
"I... I'm worried that you... get hurt..." Ruan Youqing's voice seemed to be crying.
Li Ange was very complicated: "What can you do here! You can't help me!"
Just saying it out loud, Li Ange regretted it a little.
She seemed a little heavy when she spoke just now.
But...Ruan Youqing is now...will hold her back!
At this time, Ruan Youqing didn't seem to understand what she said, screamed and dragged her back in one direction desperately.
「Youqing! Don’t drag me!」
"I... I'm scared!" Ruan Youqing held onto Li Ange's clothes tightly, her voice trembling.
But Li Ange, whose back was turned to her, couldn't see it at all. At this time, Ruan Youqing's face was terribly calm.
