Shen Yan'er tossed and turned in a mood of anticipation and anxiety to survive the night. In the early morning of the next day, as soon as it was dawn and quiet, I rushed to serve early according to Shen Yan'er's instructions last night. After she was ready to freshen up and dress, when Shen Yan'er was just about to go out, Izumo came to inform her that the carriage that sent her out of the palace had arrived outside the main hall.

Shen Yan'er, who didn't want to make a noise, didn't even tell her neighbor Kou Xuebing, and left the yard lightly like a thief. As she walked down the corridor, through several courtyards and lobbies, she found that the Neon Palace was far from as quiet as she had imagined. Many show girls and palace maids who are accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early have already begun to move around, and the news that there is a carriage parked outside the hall has spread, and the crowd is gathering in the direction of the door, and they can't stop it.

In desperation, Shen Yan'er had no choice but to board the carriage with Jing Hao in full view of everyone. Even if you don't look back, you can guess that the show girls are looking at you with stunned eyes, and the chattering sound is like a chaotic and chaotic sound of insects chirping on a summer night, which makes Shen Yan'er, who doesn't want to be too eye-catching and provoke right and wrong, feel extremely heavy.

"At the same time tomorrow, this carriage will pick you up outside the door of the Shen family restaurant and take you back to the palace." When Izumo sent Shen Yan'er to the car, he whispered in her ear the arrangements for returning to the palace tomorrow.

Shen Yan'er nodded, and didn't want to stay for a long time after getting into the car, urging the coachman to quickly drive the carriage away from the dense sight of everyone.

Sitting next to Shen Yan'er, she secretly opened the curtain and looked back, and said in surprise and joy: "Miss, there are many people gathered at the door looking at us." By the time you return to the palace tomorrow, you will definitely have become a big celebrity. ”

Shen Yan'er was not happy at all, her face was full of sadness, and she kept sighing. After the carriage gradually drove away and calmed down a little, Shen Yan'er remembered to ask the coachman for information. She plucked up her courage, gently pushed open a small door between the coachman's seat and the carriage, and asked the coachman: "This eldest brother, do you know why the emperor let me out of the palace?" ”

Shen Yan'er thought that the person who sent her out of the palace today should be a eunuch, but when she got into the car just now, she noticed that the coachman was a young man wearing a guard uniform, so she called him "big brother" instead of "father-in-law".

The moment she saw the man before boarding the car, the cold temperament exuded from the man's body made her shudder, but she quickly explained to herself: The emperor made such an arrangement and sent a martial arts master to escort her for safety reasons.

Thinking about it this way, maybe this coachman knows a little bit of the inside story.

So Shen Yan'er asked with the idea of luck, but she didn't expect to get a satisfactory reply. However, after hearing Shen Yan'er's words, the coachman was as indifferent as a deaf man, his eyes were still looking straight ahead, and he only used the back of his head to look indifferently at the polite Shen Yan'er.

Although Shen Yan'er is just a show girl who has just entered the palace, in terms of identity, she can be counted as at least half of the master. Even if the coachman can't answer her question directly, the etiquette of going back and dealing with it perfunctorily should always be indispensable. Besides, Shen Yan'er spoke softly and had a very humble attitude, this coachman really shouldn't be so blind.

Seeing that Shen Yan'er was a little angry, Jing Hao hurriedly stepped forward to pull Shen Yan'er back to her seat, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Miss, don't ask." Looking at the dress, you can know that he is a person who directly obeys the emperor's imperial team. will only carry out orders, and will not speak at all. ”

"Can't speak?" Shen Yan'er raised her eyebrows, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart, she just thought that Jing Hao exaggerated their taciturnity.

However, Jing Hao's next words surprised Shen Yan'er. Jing Hao first cautiously closed the small door opened by Shen Yan'er before saying in a barely audible voice: "The Imperial Front Team is composed of elite members selected from the Imperial Forest Army, although the rank and rank are the highest among the guards, but after joining the team, they all have to swear allegiance to the emperor and take dumb medicine, so they are all mutes who can't speak. ”

This remark brought a subversive shock to Shen Yan'er. She only knew that entering the palace as a eunuch required purification, but she didn't expect to be poisoned and dumb as a guard. I don't know whether to say that the world is too cruel or that the king is too indifferent. However, the deepest feeling in Shen Yan'er's heart is neither, but a question, a question that anyone who has entered the mass grave will have - is there really a huge secret store around the emperor that needs to use this special team?

"Actually, the people in the palace don't like them......" Jing Hao advised Shen Yan'er very sincerely, "Miss, you must not offend them, and it is best not to even have a relationship with them." They are ruthless, arrogant, unreasonable, and disregard for human life......"

Jing Hao can't wait to use all the words to describe bullies, but there is only one big rebellious "aiding and abusive". Shen Yan'er couldn't help but interrupt her, and interjected very cautiously: "However, they are all under the orders of the emperor......"

In other words, the ruthlessness and tyranny of this group of people were ordered by the emperor. Shen Yan'er suddenly had deep doubts about the emperor's character.

"The reason why they are dumb is that they can't question orders, they can't leak secrets, and they become tools that only know how to carry out tasks. It's like if someone kills someone, do you say that it was the murderer who made the mistake, or the person who wielded the knife? ”

Shen Yan'er talked about the matter and didn't secretly target anyone, but her words frightened Jing Hao so much that she turned pale and didn't dare to squeak. After a long time, Jing Hao, who finally calmed down and reorganized her language, sighed and said, "Miss, maybe you're right...... Team Gosa is just a prop. However, even if the people in the palace had any complaints, they did not dare to target the people behind them, but only dared to point the finger at them......"

Shen Yan'er couldn't help laughing at herself: "The emperor actually sent this kind of person to send me, it's really a favor to me......" This matter exudes a strange aura from beginning to end. Shen Yan'er didn't sleep well all night last night, but she kept persuading herself not to think deeply, maybe it was really the emperor's kindness. But after getting into this carriage today, I woke up completely like a big dream. This is not a good intention at all, but a conspiracy with hidden mysteries.

Shen Yan'er asked, "Is the emperor a terrible person?" Anyway, she has never heard anything about the emperor's cruelty and inhumanity among the people. On the contrary, when the emperor was still the crown prince, he was a sage with great talent, good character and good reputation.

Since there are so many things that shouldn't be said, Jing Hao simply stopped hiding it. "Miss, do you know about the exchange of princes between me and An Li three years ago?"
