There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, obscured by clouds, faintly revealing an outline. On the ink-colored canopy, a few stars can be faintly seen, which is also dim.

The bustling Chang'an Avenue has long been calm during the day, the doors of the houses are closed, and the vermilion lanterns of the past have been replaced by plain lamps covered with white veil, reflecting a pale of white light in the dark night.

A watchman walked across Chang'an Street, knocked on the bamboo pole three times, and shouted in a bright voice: "Heaven and earth and people, to the blessing of Hengchang, in the middle of the night, the time of the child." ”

"It's already time." Zhan Yan got up, tidied up his clothes, looked at Aoki and said: "It's not early, the old man will go back first today, there is a lot of trouble today, and I hope that my nephew will forgive me." ”

Aoki hurriedly said, "General Zhan has tormented me. ”

Zhan Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "The arrival of the old man tonight, you will treat it as if it never happened." From tomorrow onwards, you will continue to go to my house as usual. Remember, remember. Seeing that Aoki nodded his head one by one, he said: "Although it is an eventful time, you just need to remember that I believe that Your Majesty and the crown prince are." The virtuous nephew stayed, and the old man left. After speaking, he smiled meaningfully and strode out of the study.

The night breeze gradually rose, blowing the candle flame in the house, and Aoki's face was also cloudy and sunny against the candle flame, and he muttered to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Could it be ......"

On the General's Palace.

Zhan Yan stepped into the study with his front foot, and felt that a dark shadow flashed outside the house, he paused in his steps, and said coldly: "Who?" ”

A man walked out behind him, with dark hair and a thin body. His face is extremely ordinary, and he will never be noticed a second time when thrown into the crowd, but his eyes are as bright as a galaxy, and he will involuntarily indulge in them when he is stared at. He is the leader of the Dark Guard, Shadow.

Seeing the person coming, Zhan Yan couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and asked, "But something happened in the palace?" ”

Ying shook her head and replied, "Not really, it's just that Niangniang is worried about you, and she is afraid that she will attract attention during the day, so she sent me to come over." ”

When Zhan Yan heard this, he sighed lightly: "Xiang'er is in a situation where she can't take care of herself now, you go back and tell her that she will take care of herself and my two grandsons, and I don't need to worry here." ”

Ying nodded in response: "There are secret guards in the palace, and they will definitely protect the three of them." ”

Zhan Yan showed a reassuring smile, walked to the table and poured two cups of tea, took a sip of one cup, and said, "After all, you are the person I brought out, and I am naturally relieved to have you." ”

Ying bent her lips and smiled, picked up another cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "I will not lose the face of the general." Zhongchuan said that everything is going well, and the general just has to let go of his hands and feet to do it. ”

Zhan Yan nodded, put away his smile, and repeated the conversation with Aoki in the evening, and said, "You go back and tell Xiang'er and let her take care of it herself, after all, this Jiangshan and Yu'er are both surnamed Dongfang." ”

After listening to Ying's reply, Zhan Meixiang couldn't help but tighten the clothes on her body. The chill that gushed out from her heart spread to her limbs, making her whole person unavoidable. It was late at night, the candles in the side hall were still lit, and the low voices of Yu'er and Xuan'er could be vaguely heard through the window. Zhan Meixiang stood in front of the window, opened the window, stared at the empty night sky for a while, and asked softly, "Shadow, do you think I'm a good queen??? ”
