The death of the crown princess is a major event, and it is not better than the harem dispute that should be concealed, so press it for the time being, and the death of the crown princess must be reported to the emperor. Concubine De drafted a letter, stamped her and Concubine Shu's seals, and sent it to the south along with the prince's recital.

After Duan Yulin received the prince's recital, he immediately decided to speed up the pace of returning to Beijing. This sudden change also disrupted many people's plans, such as Grace, Xu Ying, and Qin Yan.

In order to rush back to Yong'an as soon as possible, the emperor ordered that no one should enter the city during the day, except when passing through large towns or when supplies were needed; At night, everyone went straight to the local barracks so that they could quickly leave the next day. The men didn't care, but they suffered a lot of concubines. Although a separate place was set aside for women to rest, after all, they were all pampered women, and they were still not used to living in camps.

It was night, in the Zhuzhou barracks, in the tent of the horse camp.

Qin Yan took a sip of the liquor and squirted it on a sharp sword to wipe it. He raised his sword and stared, his gaze already slightly drunk.

Honghe lifted the curtain and entered the tent, and what he saw was this scene, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a 'drunk and looking at the sword'." It seems that the master is in a good mood! Under the cover of Amo, Honghe slipped into Qin Yan's tent without the eyes and ears of the guards.

"You're here. How can I not be happy at the thought of being able to slash my enemies right away? Although Duan Yulin's temporary change of itinerary disrupted his original plan, this move undoubtedly brought him more convenient conditions. Qin Yan put down his sword, handed Honghe a glass of wine, and asked Ah Mo instead, "Zi Wei has explained everything?" Forgot to send her away? ”

"It's all arranged. As long as Ziwei's side succeeds, we will act immediately! Mo clenched his fists. Fang Da, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, is cunning and cunning, and it is not easy to do things under his nose, so he can only hope for Ziwei's ability.

"The faster you move, the better, I don't want to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Also, the army of my ghost sect and the reinforcements of the Demon Control Sect, Hong, have you all coordinated it? "He's waited too long for this day! Looking up and drinking again, his gaze was no longer clear.

"Always available. The master still doesn't want to be greedy, it's not good to start tomorrow if you miss it. Honghe knew that the plan was about to come true, and Qin Yan had irrepressible excitement in his heart, but it was still not appropriate to show it too obviously.

"Don't worry, you can't make a mistake. I'm just so happy that I want to have a few drinks to celebrate in advance. There's nothing else to do, let Mo send you away, and be careful not to let anyone find out where you are. Honghyuk bowed and withdrew from the tent as Amo did.

After the two of them went out, Qin Yan closed his eyes, and after a moment, he suddenly opened them! At this time, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he had long since disappeared from the slightest drunkenness. He lifted and tilted the wine jug, poured the wine on the ground, and said softly in his mouth: "With the help of the "Art of War" this time, we will not be defeated again!" Father, mother, sister, Ziyang will definitely be able to avenge you! ”

Qin Yan raised his hand to smash the wine jug, but his action was sudden, he thought about it and threw the wine jug away, got up and walked out of the tent. Looking up at the bright moonlight, his expression turned sad again: "Yinghua, I can't live with you after all." Alas......" The guilt and struggle in this sigh are afraid that only Princess Yinghua's spirit in the sky can comprehend.

On the other side, the emperor was heavily guarded outside the tent. The guards standing guard had eyes wider than copper bells, for fear that a suspicious figure would approach and threaten the safety of the Son of Heaven.

Tonight, it was Zi Wei's turn to be on duty, and she came with a hexagonal wind lamp.

"Stop! Who is there who dares to break into the tent of the Son of Heaven at night? "The soldiers of the guard exchanged halberds to intercept.

Zi Wei glanced at the rough guards contemptuously, took out a piece of the waist card of the palace maid, and said impatiently: "See clearly? I'm a palace maid on night duty, not a suspicious person. Why don't you let me in? Wake up the emperor, watch your heads! ”

"I'm offended, please forgive the girl." The guards respectfully asked Ziwei to enter the account.

Ziwei blew out the wind lantern and entered the big tent, and the emperor was just about to change his clothes and go to bed. When Fang Da saw that the palace maid on duty at night was coming, he opened the screen to block the emperor's bed.

Fang Da changed his bedclothes for Duan Yulin, and was about to turn off the lights and stand outside the screen with Ziwei.

"Father-in-law, slow! The slave maid still has important things to report to the emperor. Zi Wei stretched out his hand to stop Fang Da.

"The emperor is tired, what is there to talk about tomorrow." Fangda wondered, what could a little palace maid do? I also want to tell the emperor!

"Father-in-law can't, this matter can't be delayed!" Zi Wei refused to give in, which made Fang Da a little annoyed, and scolded her in a low voice.

The dispute between the two was heard by Duan Yulin, and he sat up and stopped it through the screen: "You are arguing like this, how can I sleep?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the old slave will drive this ignorant girl out!" Then he pointed to Ziwei and asked her to go outside the tent.

Zi Wei knew that the emperor hadn't slept yet, so he deliberately made a noise. Zi Wei ignored Fang Da's order, let go of his voice and knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid really have 100,000 urgent things to present!" ”

"You little girl, our family can't control you......" This is the apprentice from Qingque*? Fonda was so angry that he reached out to slap her.

"That's it, I can't sleep for a while anyway, let her talk." Duan Yulin's timely reply halted Fonda's movements.

"Thank you, Emperor! The slave maid also has a request, please ask Fang's father-in-law to avoid it. The stakes are so high that the slave can only speak to His Majesty alone. Fonda was on her guard, and she couldn't trust Fonda.

"How's that going to work? In case you are unfavorable to Your Majesty, will our family sit idly by? It's not going to happen! Fang Da refused to agree to leave Ziwei alone.

"Who does my father-in-law think Ziwei is? It's just that the matter to be reported to the saint involves the privacy of the slave and maid, and I don't want anyone else to know. The emperor knows that the slave and maid are not malicious. Zi Wei bowed deeply to show his loyalty.

"It's okay, can she still hold me hostage as a weak woman? Fonda, you're standing outside the tent, and if something happens, I'll shout for help. "Anyway, he also fought with the first emperor, and his martial arts foundation is not weak, how can he be afraid of just a palace maid? Moreover, Zi Wei was transferred to serve in front of the palace, and he has always been loyal and diligent, and he is very appreciated by Duan Yulin. If you want to murder him, you will have a chance to do it when you are in the palace, so why delay it until now?

The emperor has spoken, and Fang Da can't do it if he doesn't obey. Before going out, he didn't forget to warn Ziwei again and again not to mess around.

Duan Yulin walked out of the screen, Fang Da's figure had disappeared, and only Yu Ziwei still maintained a kneeling posture.

"Say something." Duan Yulin put on his robe and sat upright on a chair, his sword hanging from the shelf next to him.

Zi Wei glanced at the saber, secretly glanced at his mouth helplessly, and hurriedly thanked him for getting up. She kept a safe distance from the emperor and told her "secrets".

When the night was quiet, no one noticed that there was a figure hidden in the shadows not far from the emperor's tent, and the gray inferior soldier's uniform blended with the night, mysterious and eerie......

The next day, the concubines and ministers were ready to leave at any time as usual, but they could not wait for the emperor's order to set off.

Only the two guards standing guard outside the tent saw early in the morning that the palace maid who had gone in to keep vigil last night was escorted out with a lot of flowers. The guards who didn't know why thought that Xiao Nizi was angry with Long Yan and punished her, and even thought about the reason why she was punished, in short, she forgot about it as a joke.

At this time, Qin Yan was also ready to go, but what he didn't expect to wait for was the news that the emperor occasionally felt cold and was not suitable to hurry, and the order to stay in Zonzhou for one more day.

"If you don't get sick in the morning or late, but you are infected with a cold at this time?" Qin Yan touched his chin, as if he had doubts: "Is there any news from Zi Wei's side?" Take advantage of the emperor's illness and let her do it as soon as possible. ”

Ah Mo shook his head: "Last night and this morning, I didn't see the news of Zi Wei. Do you want to go down and investigate? ”

"Don't go, tell Zi Xiao to go." Fortunately, Qin Yan used some small means to let Zixiao replace Lu Sizhen to drive, and Zixiao was more handy in delivering news.

After another half a day, Ah Mo hurriedly ran into the Qin Yan camp with Zixiao's information.

"Master, I'm afraid it's not good! Zi smiled and said that Zi Wei has not been seen since this morning! Amo ran back and forth, already sweating profusely.

"Heh, hehehehe......" Ah Mo was frowning, but Qin Yan smiled.

"Master?" Ah Mo is puzzled, is the master crazy?

"Good! All right! Ziwei's disappearance means that she has been discovered, and she should be imprisoned now. Qin Yan was so excited that he was gearing up.

"Huh? It's been discovered! Isn't our plan exposed? Amoo pulled out his sword with a bang, and looked ready to die and break the net.

Qin Yan shook his head with a smile, pushed Amo's sword back into the scabbard, and said clearly, "Zi Wei has succeeded." Ah Mo's eyes widened in disbelief, and Qin Yan slowly explained: "The emperor fell ill suddenly, I guess it was the medicine given by Zi Wei that made the emperor unconscious." Fonda is just a false proclamation to cover up the facts. Did Zixiao say that Fonda had any moves? ”

"Yes. Fonda's apprentice, Hai'er, was escorted by two soldiers to the governor's yamen to inform him of the delayed departure. Our people have to follow behind. Ah Mo also told Qin Yan about the concubine and the minister who went to visit the sick and were turned away.

"In this way, the emperor has really been tricked. In order to avoid causing panic, even if the emperor did not wake up early tomorrow morning, Fang Da would send an order to leave for Huizhou. Huizhou is a large state, and various conditions are more suitable for recuperation than Zhuzhou. The effect of the Forgotten Soul Scatter will last for a maximum of four days, and we will have to do it before we reach Huizhou. The order went down, and he led his men and horses to ambush on the road. "Over the years, Qin Yan has been secretly cultivating his own forces, and has unknowingly gathered a private army.

"Yes! In addition...... "Ah Mo hesitated a little: "The master is not afraid that Zi Wei can't help but torture and confess to the master?" ”

"No, it won't. If she betrayed us, do you think we would be able to stand here and talk at this time? Besides, I had already poisoned her. People who have been poisoned by this poison must take an antidote every quarter, otherwise they will die of all their meridians! It takes 20 capsules in a row to eradicate the toxicity. "In other words, if Zi Wei wants to live, he must be a cow and a horse for Qin Yan for five years!

Ah Mo was glad that Qin Yan still trusted him and didn't use such a cruel poison on him. But he was still not at ease: "That's ...... What if they were going to kill Zi Wei? There is no hope of life left and right, what should she do if she simply recruits? ”

"The emperor didn't wake up for a day, he didn't figure out the cause of his coma for a day, do you think they would move? At most, she suffers from some flesh and skin, and she can stand it. Don't underestimate the desire to survive of the lowly people. "Qin Yan is confident.

"The master is thoughtful, so the subordinates will arrange it." Amo clenched his fists and retreated.

Qin Yan couldn't help but sneer, and said in his heart: "Duan Yulin, your time of death has arrived!" At that time, I will cut off your head with my own hands and sacrifice it to my relatives! ”
