Of course Shen Yan'er knew about this. Because this is a major event that everyone in the Phoenix Dynasty knows about, and even the surrounding neighbors are shocked.

An Li is the western neighbor of the Phoenix Dynasty, and the two countries have been at war for a hundred years, which is the root cause of the misery of the people on the western border. It wasn't until the reign of the Emperor – three years earlier, in fact – that the two countries became allies. Of course, it is not easy to make peace between two feuding countries, and the continuous fighting has made the subjects of both countries extremely distrustful of each other, and most people feel that the alliance agreement is nothing more than a piece of paper, and it will be completely nullified in less than half a year.

Therefore, in order to strengthen the trust between the two countries and gain the attention of the people, the kings of the two countries made a major decision that attracted worldwide attention, that is, to "exchange princes" - let each other's princes go to each other's countries to live alone for a year. On the one hand, as a hostage, on the other hand, it is also a cultural exchange and a deepening of ties. On the surface, this practice is extremely dangerous, but in essence, as long as both parties do not disagree and keep their promises, the prince's personal safety will not be affected in the slightest.

And the crown prince who was exchanged to Anli was the emperor of the dynasty, Phoenix Ke.

Two years ago, after Phoenix Ke returned from An Liguo, the emperor who was sick with the dragon body passed the throne to him, and he lived in the deep palace to recuperate, and no longer cared about political affairs. Now, three years have passed since the conclusion of the alliance agreement between the two sides, and two years have passed since Phoenix Ke ascended the throne, and there has not been a single war between the two countries, and even the atrocities of the folk bandits and horse bandits have disappeared.

In this way, the "exchange of princes", which shocked the world three years ago, proved its utility and power with its results, bringing the two feuding countries to an end to the war and ushering in a hard-won period of peace, at least according to the people.

Because of this, both the emperor and the phoenix have become the wise monarchs and sages worthy of praise from all generations in the minds of the people. Even Shen Yan'er is proud of the monarch, and the signboard that can hang his inscription in front of the Shen family restaurant is the driving force for the draft. If it weren't for the cruelty of witnessing the rampant walking corpses after entering the mass grave, Shen Yan'er would still be immersed in the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous world.

Jing Hao said while recalling: "It has been four years since I entered the palace, and at the earliest, when the emperor was still the crown prince, was still in the palace. I had the privilege of dancing with my sisters at the Emperor's Birthday Banquet. At that time, hundreds of civil and military officials and the children of eunuchs gathered together, and of course His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came. I have never seen such a grand banquet, and I was confused for a while, and somehow I stood in the wrong position, and the water sleeves swept violently, and I actually swept over the prince's wine bottle......"

Recalling the situation at that time, Jing Hao still had palpitations. She looked nervous, her face turned slightly pale, she subconsciously clenched her hands, and said, "I only heard a loud 'clang', and even the musicians were too scared to play the piano." The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and all the sisters who were dancing stopped, and all the spectators exchanged their heads. I thought I was going to die, and I was so scared that I forgot to kneel and beg for mercy, and I stood stupidly in place at a loss, and I didn't react until I saw the prince get up and stand up......"

The next thing that happened was unimaginable, and I still feel like I'm dreaming when I think about it.

The prince staggered to his feet, picked up the wine bottle that had been knocked over by the water sleeve and rolled down to the edge of the dance floor, and then returned to his seat with a deep and shallow foot, apologizing to the other guests around him. Seeing such a scene, everyone thought that the prince accidentally knocked over the wine bottle after being drunk just now, but no one thought that it was the fault of the dancing girl, and Jinghao escaped by luck. Otherwise, even if they are not dragged to the torture room to be beaten, they are absolutely indispensable for being punished and beaten.

Only Jing Hao knew that the prince was not drunk at all, and he pretended to be drunk just to help him get out of trouble. Later, Jinghao always regarded the prince as his benefactor, and even listened to the teachings of his grandmother more in order to serve in the East Palace in the future, and redoubled his efforts to learn etiquette and rules, striving for the opportunity to be promoted and transferred to the prince's side.

As a result, he didn't expect that soon after, the crown prince was exchanged and went to An Liguo. At that time, there were many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who had received the favor of the prince, and they were very opposed to sending the prince to the wolf-like Anli Kingdom in private, and they secretly discussed it at the risk of being punished. However, in the end, they could only watch the prince being sent away, and could do nothing......

"Two years ago, on the day the prince returned to the palace, I and several other sisters secretly hid on the road and waited to see him." Speaking of this, Jing Hao frowned slightly, her expression gloomy and sad, "I saw it later, but ...... I don't know why, I always feel that the prince has changed a lot. Our sisters were very excited when they saw the prince's carriage, but the moment they caught a glimpse of the prince's side face from the window, none of them could laugh anymore, and everyone froze......"

It's just because the crown prince is too far away from the gentle prince of the country in their memory.

In Jing Hao's words, the appearance is still the same as before, even more handsome and charming, but the expression has become very indifferent, as if he is not interested in the palace anymore. He kept his eyes straight ahead, indifferent to the scenery outside the carriage that he hadn't seen for a year.

"I've only seen him once on that day in the last two years. Except for the palace maids and eunuchs who served in front of the palace, it was difficult for anyone else to have a chance to see the dragon's face. Don't talk about us palace maids, even the concubines want to see the emperor......"

"Then who is the emperor usually close to?" Hearing this, Shen Yan'er finally couldn't help but ask.

Jing Hao thought for a while and said, "Among the harem, the most often summoned by the emperor should be the Wucha Heavenly Man of Luoying Palace. ”

"What celestial? Male or female? Shen Yan'er had never heard of this name.

Jing Hao shook his head and said: "I don't know what his specific origin is, in short, he looks quite evil, the wizard is not like a wizard, the Taoist is not like a Taoist, I only know that he is a man slightly older than the emperor." He returned to the palace with the emperor two years ago, and everyone speculated that he was the Tusi of some tribe in Anli Kingdom......"

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er suddenly asked, "Are you wearing black?" ”

Jing Hao exclaimed in surprise: "How do you know? ”

Shen Yan'er smiled bitterly twice, not knowing how to explain. Anyway, she had guessed that this Wucha Heavenly Man was related to the Black Blood Clan. Xiao Hei, Bao Yin, Miao Pu, and the mysterious woman in black are obviously a legendary people who have been hunted down to the brink of extinction, but now there are so many last descendants all gathered around the palace...... This qiē is no coincidence.

"Miss, do you know the identity of the Utcha Celestial?" Jing Hao asked in amazement.

Shen Yan'er shook her head and said, "Although I don't know now, I should know soon...... "Who let the fate between himself and the black blood clan who survived after drinking Xiao Hei's blood be so deep?"
