The hall was silent for a while.

Qin Xiang has kung fu? If so, why haven't we been discovered until now?

I held the Eighth Prince tightly in my arms, recalled the structure of this Arhat Hall and the location of the exit, and secretly calculated how to escape if I used light work.

The best way to do this is to overturn the incense table and put a tablecloth over their heads, so that the Eighth Prince and I can escape while they are unprepared!

I was about to get up, but I heard a "squeak" the door open.

If I am amnesty, I wonder what kind of door I have repaired.

I heard someone's voice deep and deep: "Amitabha, the two donors, the old man is polite." ”

It's actually a monk?

Qin Yun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Master Huiyi, it's time for you to cultivate." ”

Huiyi? Isn't that the abbot of this Panlong Temple?

Hui Yi said: "What the crown princess said is very true, and the old man should keep it in mind. ”

Qin Xiang was slightly stunned and said, "Yun Wan, don't be rude to Master Huiyi." ”

Hui Yi smiled: "It's okay. ”

Qin Xiang said again: "Has the master ever looked carefully?" ”

What to see?

Hui Yi said: "I glanced at it from a distance before, and I just observed it in the Enze Hall with the prime minister for a long time, but it was the posture of Fengyi, the appearance of the mother of the world. ”

Well? What is the ...... How is it somewhat familiar?

Qin Yunwan asked urgently, "Who to observe?" Who is the mother of the world? ”

"Amitabha, the crown princess forgives her sins," Hui Yi said without hurrying, "Just now Xiangye and Lao Wei are exchanging Buddhism, and Miss Qin Er came to Daoding Yuan's concubine to make trouble in the Enze Hall, and Lao Ke went with Xiangye." ”

Scold...... This Qin Shuangwan, I said why can't I see her, I went to find her father, it's really despicable!

"There was a rumor before that Master Ruozhi said that You Zimo was quite the mother of the world, so he asked Master Huiyi to take a look."

…… It is said that women with long tongues, I think men are also very gossipy, so if Zhizhi says it casually, he really wants to push me to the cusp!

Qin Yunwan sneered: "The master mother of the world? Why is Your Majesty not dead yet? Or do you want my crown princess to give it to her? ”

Hui Yi said in a flat voice: "How can the crown princess decide that this world is the prince?" ”

？！

Huiyi's words are so appalling!

Several people in the hall, including me and the Eighth Prince, did not come to their senses for a long time, and Qin Yunwan stammered: "If, how?" The prince is the prince......"

Qin Xiang was calm and asked, "What did the master see?" ”

Hui Yi said: "Earlier today, I saw the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan walking with a man who looked like a eunuch, and the eunuch was riding a child around his neck......"

"That's the Eighth Prince, An Chengrui."

I can't help but hug the Eighth Prince tighter.

"No wonder ......," Hui Yi sighed, "those two people are surrounded by purple energy, and there is a faint momentum of dragon and phoenix. ”

…… Isn't there something wrong with Huiyi's eyes? Purple gas? Dragon and phoenix are auspicious? The Eighth Prince and I are now hiding under the incense case and eavesdropping on you, have you ever seen the purple air rising, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks?

Who would believe such a ghostly word?!

Sure enough, Qin Yunwan laughed and said, "You Zimo and the Eighth Prince? A monster and a mute? It's so funny! ”

Forehead...... While you're right, please refrain from personal attacks, thank you.

Hui Yi was not annoyed: "This is wrong, who else in this world can be greeted by a real dragon when he is born?" ”

One sentence blocked that Qin Yunwan had nothing to say.

I almost jumped to my feet and spat out the fragrance! How dangerous it was when my mother gave birth to me, and the saint had no choice but to help deliver the baby, how could the real dragon greet me?! It's so!!

Qin Xiangyi said coldly: "The eighth prince has escaped repeatedly, and he was about to succeed last time, but he was rescued by You Zimo...... What the master said is true. ”

…… It's good for you to be happy.

Qin Yunwan had already completely believed Hui Yi's nonsense: "What about the prince?!" What about Hongu?! No, this country must belong to the prince! ”

Didn't you look like you were not uncommon just now? Didn't you still say that Qin Shuangwan would be the crown princess?

The woman's mouth is really a deceitful ghost!

Hui Yi said again: "Although those two have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, they have not yet become a climate. The future is undecided, Xiangye, you have to plan early. ”

This old bald donkey, I almost told you to kill them quickly!

I burst into tears and a wail in my heart.

Qin Yunwan rekindled her hope again: "In this way, this country is still the prince's?" ”

Hui Yi said incomprehensibly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

…… Do you have less heavenly secrets to leak? Oh my God, please kill him with a bolt of lightning!

Qin Yunwan said viciously: "Father, those two can't stay." ”

Huiyi said: "Amitabha, the Buddha crosses all beings, and the princess still has to be compassionate." ”

This Huiyi is too vicious, and in three or two sentences, he pushed me and the Eighth Prince to the tip of the knife, and he was also compassionate, like a demon in a robe!

Qin Xiang said: "This matter is my father's own plan, the princess doesn't have to worry, it's not early, please ask the princess to come back quickly." ”

Qin Yunwan said: "In this way, the palace will return." ”

"Congratulations to the crown princess." Qin Xiang and Hui Yi said in unison.

After a while, Qin Xiang and Hui Yi also left, I listened with my ears, and it seemed that many people in the courtyard had left, probably Qin Yunwan and Qin Xiang's guards, until there was silence everywhere, and we relaxed.

Only then did I realize that my back was already soaked with sweat.

I stared blankly at the bright yellow satin in front of me, and my voice was not loud but clear: "Xiao Rui, what I heard just now, no one can tell me, and your fifth brother can't say it." ”

Seeing that he didn't respond, I looked down and didn't know when I fell asleep.

His breathing was steady and long, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was in a good dream.

Why was such a lovely child born in the emperor's family?

When I held the sleeping Eighth Prince and joined Fuxiang and them, Fuxiang had already sent the strong man away. said that the woman was not pregnant, but she just saw that the eighth prince was dressed gorgeously and wanted to borrow some money, but fortunately, a doctor also came to offer incense and exposed the lie. They didn't know where I had gone with the Eighth Prince, so they were so anxious that they almost reported to the official.

Fu Xiang hurriedly took the eighth prince over and praised me violently: "Oh, the little hall is sinking very much, and the servants can't hold him, the princess is not red and out of breath all the way, she is really powerful." ”

I don't feel that I feel difficult when I hold the Eighth Prince, and my senses are also more sensitive, isn't it...... Getting closer to the rampage?

I can only smile unfathomably at Fuxiang, but my heart is sad.

Panlong Temple has a vegetarian fast, Xu Rongchan asked for a clean meditation room, and ate in the temple at noon.

The Eighth Prince was woken up to eat, and he didn't seem to be awake yet, sitting like a wooden man, only opening his mouth to swallow when Fuxiang fed the rice to his mouth.

My sister-in-law saw that I was worried and asked me what was wrong, and I just missed my father.

"Your Highness, is the food unappetizing?" Fuxiang picked a piece of tofu for the eighth prince, and when he saw that he didn't eat it, he smiled bitterly, "There is only vegetarian food in this temple, and when I go back, the old slave will let the cook cook braised pork for His Royal Highness to eat." ”

King Yu's mansion still has the money to hire a cook? Can you afford braised pork?

The Eighth Prince shook his head and swallowed the tofu in one gulp, and said, "Fuxiang, Yingwei, what is it?" ”

Fuxiang and Xu Rongchan were so shocked that the chopsticks fell, which startled everyone, and I also jumped in my heart, what is this shadow guard, which made Fuxiang and Xu Rongchan shocked?

Fuxiang said in a low voice: "What did His Royal Highness say?" ”

The Eighth Prince said: "Shadow Guard ......"

Xu Rongchan hurriedly covered his mouth, looked left and right, and said, "Your Highness is cautious." ”

Seeing this, the sister-in-law pulled Sun Shengnan out of the meditation room and said, "Mama Xu, the slave family and Miss Sun have eaten, and we will wait for you outside." ”

Sun Shengnan's mouth was stuffed with green vegetables: "I haven't eaten well yet." ”

The sister-in-law took a steamed bun and stuffed it in her mouth and dragged her away.

Xu Rongchan let go of her hand, looked at me and said, "What happened to Miss and Your Highness?" ”

I nodded, thinking that my sister-in-law and Sun Shengnan were outside, and if there was any movement, they would notify us, so I told them about the conversation between Qin Xiang and Qin Yunwan, and as for Huiyi's nonsense, it was better not to tell them.

After hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were extremely rich, surprised, disdainful, and speechless......

I said, "So what the hell is a shadow guard?" ”

Xu Rongchan said: "The shadow guards are His Majesty's personal guards, independent of the twelve guards of the forbidden army, and ordinary people don't know about their existence. ”

I was bewildered when I heard this: "Your Majesty's personal guard? Isn't it the Divine Tiger Guard? ”

"It's different, Shenhuwei is responsible for the safety of His Majesty within the range from Fengtian Hall to Mingxin Palace, and he can change his guard, take a public holiday, and marry a wife and have children." Fuxiang said, "The shadow guards are different, they are all orphans, they have been sent to the shadow gate for training since they were young, two out of a hundred people, each of them is a top killer, the meaning of life is to secretly protect the emperor, and can only be loyal to the emperor, obey all the emperor's dispatches, if the emperor dies, they must be martyred." ”

My eyes widened and I said, "What if they want to go to the hut?" ”

Fuxiang said speechlessly: "The old slave doesn't know. ”

I said, "How do you know that?" "Isn't it true that ordinary people don't know about them?

Xu Rongchan said: "He is a kind of shadow guard. ”

I don't think my eyes are glaring enough.

Fuxiang seemed to be embarrassed and said: "The shadow guard was set up by Emperor Taizu to avoid the usurpation of power by the people around him, and it was really strict and cruel at first. Many emperors of the past dynasties only learned about the shadow guard when they ascended to the throne. Later, some emperors felt cruel, so they reduced the number of shadow guards, and when they arrived at the first emperor, the selection criteria were changed, and the top ten could be shadow guards, and the emperor decided whether they would go or stay. ”

"The first question, how will the selection criteria be changed? No need to kill each other? ”

"It's okay to abolish the other party's martial arts, but," Fuxiang's eyes flashed unbearably, "Many people's martial arts are abolished, and they won't live long." ”

"Second question, does every prince have a shadow guard?"

"This ...... The minions don't know," Fuxiang said, "Your Majesty just asked the minions to protect His Royal Highness King Yu, and the minions who shouldn't ask won't ask." ”

"Third question, why do you want to tell me?" This belongs to the royal secret, right? There's so much I don't want to know!

"The princess asked, and the servant answered," Fuxiang said innocently, "My Royal Highness said that you should have no reservations about the princess." ”

No reservations about me? Fool it! I said how good An Chengyan is, it turns out that there is such a master by his side! Sure enough, people can't look good, this blessing looks harmless, but it is a sharp weapon in the most Yuwang Mansion!

Xu Rongchan saw that I was a little depressed, so she actually smiled: "Miss, do you have any questions?" ”

Of course, I have a whole bunch of questions!

"Aunt Rong Chan, isn't she also a shadow guard? How do you know the identity of Father-in-law Fuxiang? ”

Xu Rongchan said: "The slave is just a slave, Fuxiang was originally the shadow guard of the first emperor, and when His Majesty drove to conquer Modi, the first emperor sent him to follow His Majesty." ”

Fuxiang answered: "Later, Your Majesty met Xiao Niangniang in the Western Regions, so he left the slave to Xiao Niangniang. ”

Little lady? It should be An Chengyan and the eighth prince's mother.

I thought of the wound on the Eighth Prince's body and said, "Then do you know how the scar on Xiao Rui's arm came about?" ”

Fuxiang shook his head: "That day, His Royal Highness King Yu was called by the virtuous concubine Niangniang to give a lecture, the little lady was not at ease, and ordered the slave to follow, and when we came back, we saw the little lady holding scissors......

Turning the tiger away from the mountain?!

The Eighth Prince seemed to remember something terrible, got into my arms, and said, "Mother...... Don't hit ......"

Fuxiang and Xu Rongchan were silent when they saw this, I touched his head, and said softly: "Okay, good, my mother won't beat you, don't beat Xiaorui......"

The eighth prince raised his head, and the two big wet eyes looked at me for a while, and he said timidly: "Mother...... Don't hit ......"

I suddenly reacted that he didn't ask his mother not to beat him, but to ask others not to beat his mother!

Could it be that someone wanted to kill the Eighth Prince but only injured his arm, and his mother took the scissors to resist the murderer?!

Could it be, from beginning to end, that their mother-in-law is not crazy at all?!
