Early the next morning, seeing Lai Yangming, who was carrying a backpack, carrying medicine in his left hand and holding a medicine box in his right hand, Shen Yan was a little surprised, but she also happily hooked the corners of her lips. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why she revealed her identity in front of him last night was to get his help.

Someone wants to kill her and prevent her from going back to the palace, she actually has two choices. First, leave Liu Ji behind, leave alone, and go back to Peach Blossom Island to find An Yangping; Second, return to the palace as soon as possible, find out who wants to kill her, and remove potential threats to her life for yourself and her Han'er.

Without much thought, she chose the latter. And choosing to return to the palace, she needs someone to help. Lai Yangming has medical skills and is ambitious, so it is good to have him help. She wanted to discuss it with him when he delivered medicine to Liu Ji today, but she didn't expect him to be so eager.

Lai Yangming was dressed in coarse linen clothes and a cloth hat, although he was poor, his face was clean and dazzling. The most important thing is his fierce eyes, which show his intelligence and cunning.

"Niangniang," he put down the medicine and medicine box in his hand, closed the door of the courtyard with his backhand, knelt down in front of Shen Yan, and said solemnly: "I Lai Yang is willing to follow Niangniang, be loyal to Niangniang all my life, do my best, and die, I hope Niangniang will allow it." He made an exaggerated oath, but he didn't hide his thoughts at all.

With his purity and straightforwardness, Shen Yan is also willing to believe that he is a simple person who is a little marketable, but he is not scheming. "Get up." She stepped forward and looked at him with a smile, "You took the risk to help me last night, and I am gracious, and your request is not delusional." ”

Lai Yangming smiled "hehe", stood up and patted the dust on his body, and said happily: "I knew that Niangniang would agree." Rest assured. I will escort you back to the palace safely. ”

Shen Yan was puzzled by what he said, and she couldn't help but ask him, "How do you know that I want to go back to the palace?" ”

"Niang forgot about it. Prince Ying's fiefdom in his early years was Ganzhou. "Lai Yangming is a good thing, especially interested in things in the palace. Liu Ji was sent to find out Shen Yan's return to the palace. It's not a big secret, he can recognize Prince Ying, and he knows Shen Yan's identity, of course he knows that they were assassinated on the way back to the palace.

explained, he even asked Shen Yan: "Do you know who wants to kill you?" ”

"Do you have an opinion?" Shen Yan wanted to hear his opinion.

Lai Yangming smiled excitedly, "I'll talk to you while boiling medicine for the prince." ”

While they were cooking a fire in the kitchen to decoct the medicine, Liu Ji woke up. Look at your surroundings. He was suddenly panicked: Where did the sister-in-law of the West Emperor go? Was he caught or escaped? He got up and tried to get out of bed despite the pain in his wound, only to realize that his wound had been carefully bandaged. With a little peace of mind, he whispered "Sister-in-law of the West Emperor".

Shen Yan and Lai Yangming in the kitchen did not hear his call.

While using dead leaves to fan the fire on the stove, Lai Yangming thought that he was saying to Shen Yan: "In my opinion, there are three forces that don't want Niangniang to return to the palace. First, the power of the Queen Mother; Two. the power of the Eastern Empress; Third, the power of Jiao Guifei. ”

What he said was not necessarily on the point. When she was murdered for the first time, Shen Yan began to suspect the forces behind these three women. Of course. What wants to put Shen Yan to death may or may not be the idea of these three women themselves.

The apparent calm of the backyard of the Hou Mansion. Perhaps there has long been a hidden torrent undercurrent. Now they are all trapped in the palace and stand above the people. For glory and higher status, the struggle between women. It must be more ferocious.

In that palace, what awaits Shen Yan is another bloody storm. She didn't continue to talk to Lai Yangming about who would want her to die, but asked him: "If I don't go back to the palace, will my child be killed by them?" Fighting for glory now, will you fight for the position of prince in the future, right? ”

"Niang Niang knows, why do you need to ask me?" Lai Yangming smiled, "So, Niangniang must go back to the palace." Otherwise, I'm afraid the eldest prince won't live to be an adult. ”

"How bold!" Liu Ji appeared at the door of the kitchen, and when he heard Lai Yangming say this about the eldest prince, he immediately reprimanded angrily, "You dare to speak ill of the emperor's heir." ”

Lai Yangming hurriedly bowed.

"You're awake." Shen Yan stepped forward disapprerovingly and introduced Lai Yangming to him, "It was he who risked his life to save you." ”

Knowing that the other party was actually his life-saving benefactor, the anger on Liu Ji's face slowly subsided, but he was still dissatisfied: "When treating the imperial heir, you should be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

"Yes, yes, the teachings of the prince, I must keep it in mind."

Soon, Liu Ji learned that Shen Yan was going to take Lai Yangming into the palace, and he immediately called her aside and objected: "What is the imperial sister-in-law taking him to do?" He saved my life and left me an identity, and I will reward him well in the future. ”

"If we want to return to the palace smoothly, we still need his help." Shen Yan said.

"Isn't it easy to go back to the palace? I'll ask the governor of Ganzhou to send more people to escort us back. ”

Thirteen-year-old Liu Ji obviously doesn't quite understand what insidious and cunning are. The person who wanted to kill Shen Yan sent so many assassins, and they were ruthless enough to take her life, and if the first time failed, there would be a second, third, or even more assassination. Even if there are many escorts, it may not be easy for her to enter the palace.

"I thought about it," Shen Yan said, "It is indeed necessary for the Governor to send someone to escort him, but the person who escorted him was not me, but Lai Yangming." ”

Liu Ji was puzzled, only to see Shen Yan smile lightly and continued: "Lai Yangming is not tall, I will disguise him as me to hide people's eyes." And I disguised myself as him and went to the capital alone. ”

"This ...... How can I rest assured that my sister-in-law is back to the palace alone? Liu Ji didn't agree.

Shen Yan asked: "Do you know that Liu Zhuo, who you shot with arrows under the city of Ganzhou that day, is actually fake?" ”

"I didn't think he was fake that day, but I just thought he was fake, and later I learned that he was the imperial sister-in-law who disguised himself as a guard." Liu Ji smiled as he spoke, and sighed: "The imperial sister-in-law's disguise technique can deceive people. It's just that," he was still worried, "The imperial sister-in-law returned to the palace alone, and the courtiers couldn't rest assured." ”

"Are you afraid I'll run away?" Shen Yan picked out the topic.

Liu Ji's expression was obviously awkward, what he was worried about, wasn't this it?

"If I wanted to escape, I would have left you last night and fled." Seeing that Liu Ji wanted to explain, Shen Yan raised her hand and said resolutely: "You don't need to say much, just listen to me on this matter." ”

After that, she returned to the house and told Lai Yangming about it.

When Lai Yangming heard that he was going to pretend to be Shen Yan, he naturally waved his hand again and again. He claimed to be a seven-foot man who stood up to the sky, and he could not pretend to be a woman.

"It's not easy to pretend to be me." Shen Yan said, "If you go to the capital, you will definitely be assassinated again, you pretend to be me, but it is a job to carry your head in your hands." After that, she sighed intentionally, "If you don't want to, I won't force you." ”

"Let's ...... slowly" Lai Yangming quickly changed his mind. He thought for a while and said, "Since it's for the sake of my mother's smooth return to the palace, what if I pretend to be a woman?" I'm pretending! ”

Shen Yan smiled happily, "Remember to be improvised, it is important to save your life, and you can enter the palace with your life in order to show your ambitions and realize your dreams, right?" ”

If things are not done, the benefits are promised. Hearing such words, Lai Yangming was comforted and encouraged, and the blood in his body boiled instantly. Thinking about a bright future, he only felt that he now even had the courage to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire.

After Shen Yan and Lai Yangming changed identities, they took a token of Liu Ji, quietly met with the governor of Ganzhou, and asked him to send someone to escort him. After coming out, she was stopped by two strong men.

There was anger in the eyes of these two people, and their demeanor was also very rough, and when they caught Shen Yan on an alley corner, they used knives to face each other. Shen Yan pretended to be frightened, shrunk and begged for mercy urgently: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" I'll give you as much as you want. As she spoke, she shuddered and pulled out her money bag.

"Where's the Queen of the West?" One asked.

"West...... Queen of the West? I don't know what the Queen of the West is small. The small one was only entrusted by someone to send a letter to Lord Zhizhou. Shen Yan explained.

"Whom?"

"I don't know, it's over there." Shen Yan pointed in a random direction and said, "A young man gave me ten taels of silver......

"Quick! Fast! With the urgent urging of an official, the two teams of people formed a team outside the governor's mansion and were about to set off.

Seeing this, the two strong men looked at each other, finally let Shen Yan go, and ran in the direction that Shen Yan pointed out earlier. Shen Yan patted her chest, took a long breath, and then tossed and turned, hired a carriage, and drove outside the city of Ganzhou.

Day and night, three days later, in the afternoon, she arrived in the capital. She didn't dare to approach the tall palace gate easily, but she was afraid that at this time, the person who wanted to kill her would see through her plan and have already arranged ambushes on all roads into the palace.

She wandered around the streets of the capital, and she didn't dare to rush to find Wei Jiuting and the like. As long as Li Chengqi seized the power of the Great Zhou, she left the Great Zhou for as long as she left. In the past nearly a year, many people and things have changed, and she can't trust anyone easily. Of course, when she wandered the streets, she also longed to meet an acquaintance, for example, Huo Qing.

After wandering around for a long time, she finally saw a familiar figure, but this figure was not Huo Qing, but Wesley.

Huo Qing rescued Wesley from the Southern Zhao Army, and after Li Chengqi usurped the throne, Wesley helped him fight the remnants of the Liu court one by one. But I don't know, is he worthy of Shen Yan's trust?

Shen Yan remembered that Wei Jiuting once said that Wesley was arrogant and had never been a party for personal gain. Then he won't be co-opted by anyone, right? Most likely, he doesn't belong to any of the forces.

After judging like this, Shen Yan strode forward and followed Wesley, who was walking alone on the street with a somewhat serious expression. She patted him on the arm, and he quickly turned around, frowning slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm Shen Yan."

Hearing these four words, Weasley was first startled, then looked around, and then took a step forward, and said coldly without looking back, "Follow me." ”

His reaction surprised Shen Yan. Still, after a moment of hesitation, she was determined to keep up with him. (To be continued.) )
