The guard understood that there was no impermeable wall under the sky, perhaps it was he who inadvertently exposed his horse's feet, which aroused suspicion, he didn't know which side the three of them were on, and it wouldn't be his side anyway, so he had no better way than to be silent.

"I advise you to be cooperative. Zhiying said, "You should know that I have a good relationship with Concubine An, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but we hit each other off at first sight, and telling the truth to me is much better than being escorted to the palace for interrogation." ”

The guard's expression fluctuated slightly, then returned to normal, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

What an honest man, Zhiying thought to herself. But she was determined to ask him something useful, so she continued: "Don't pretend, how do you think I found out, the eyes can't deceive people. Holding Ying pointed to his eyes, "Here, your true feelings are revealed." ”

The guard was obviously told that he was in his heart, his face turned red, he stopped talking, and he continued to work hard when he saw this, "I said, you are also very hard like this, I can find you from so many people, it can be seen that you are very affectionate." Hey, why don't you tell me how you fell in love with Concubine An?" Although Ling Jun and Zhijie on the side were a little speechless, they also wanted to know.

Being stared at by three people and six pairs of eyes, the little guard was so cramped that it was an unspeakable thing, just thinking about it made me blush and my heart beat, and now I want to say it in public, even if I am killed, I can't open this mouth. He was forced to do nothing, and said angrily: "What do you want to do!"

"I said I want to help Concubine An, do you believe it? Whether you believe it or not, I want to help her is true, and I want to know that your things are also true. Zhi Ying said without hesitation.

How could there be such a woman in this world? The guards were puzzled, shouldn't a cultivator have no desires and no desires, and ignore the world, just like she rushed to inquire about other people's affairs.

Zhiying silently said twice in her heart, don't blame, she really has no way to make this decision. Concubine An was also locked up in the side hall of the queen's bedroom, His Majesty drove them to the shelves, and the people behind the scenes were deeply hidden, only the little guard in front of her could say something valuable, how could she let it go easily?

"Just tell me everything you know, and I'll help you. Zhi Ying said solemnly.

Seeing her change his face for a moment, the guard struggled to discern the truth of her words, and finally emotion overcame reason, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll tell you." In this way, four people got together, one said, three listened, and the guard was not very articulate, but he stumbled, and finally explained the cause and effect of the matter. It turned out that this guard was called Nanming, his family background was ordinary, he read a few books when he was a child, and his family supported him in the imperial examination, but unfortunately he failed for three or four consecutive years, just in time for the palace to select the guards, and he gave up the literature and martial arts in desperation. Maybe he was born to be a guard, he has not made any major mistakes in the past few years since he entered the palace, but he has had a few small rewards, he doesn't talk much, and he is reliable, so he is very popular. Under normal circumstances, a person like him should marry a virtuous girl, have two or three children, and live a stable life. But the impermanence of fate was fulfilled in him, and the triennial draft coincided with his duty, and that smile became an unforgettable memory. The current Concubine An was still an ignorant little girl at that time, in Nanming's opinion, she was too young to be his sister, but such a delicate child did not live well in the strict harem. The harem pays attention to the heirs, position, and grace, each of which is extremely difficult for a newcomer who has just entered the palace. Concubine An is simple by nature, and she can't get used to the open and secret battles in the palace, so she was excluded, but she is also optimistic and cheerful, and she doesn't take those ordinary little things to heart, such a character is excellent elsewhere, but unfortunately the harem is a Shura field, it will not be open to anyone, those women, or publicity, or indifference, or bright, or beautiful, can not escape its trial - with youth and tears in exchange for scheming. As the saying goes, "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black", Concubine An is still an ordinary person no matter how she reaches the concept, and there will be ordinary people's jealousy and resentment, which grow secretly under her simple appearance, and eventually cause trouble. Concubine Li relied on the emperor's favor, flying high, not taking others in her eyes, the queen can endure for the sake of the overall situation, as for other concubines who are not high, like Concubine An at the beginning, they are even more beaten and scolded at every turn, and everyone complains, but there is nothing they can do. In fact, it's not really that there is no way, even if everyone knows some things, as long as they don't say it, they just treat it as nothing, such as dealing with Concubine Li. After many years of her pride, Sheng Pet finally gradually left her, and everyone's revenge plan has just begun. It is common to deduct the monthly case and make things difficult for no reason, and what is more serious is that someone wants to take her life, among which Concubine An gave her a fatal blow. It can be imagined that when Concubine An completed this matter, she was so solemn and focused, as if she was holding a sacrificial ceremony, sacrificing the humiliation and unwillingness of the past with the life of the enemy, and the happiness in her heart was indescribable. However, there are no permanent enemies in the harem, and there are no permanent friends, and after the common enemy is eliminated, there is always a person who has to be promoted, and unfortunately, Concubine An became this person. So it was logical to cut the offerings, enter the cold palace, and inexplicably die.

Even many years later, Nan Ming often thinks of how desperate and fearless he was at that time, like a real warrior on the battlefield, facing a cruel fate. He clenched the sword in his hand, he was just a small guard, he was not capable of avenging her, he thought, his life was over, and his heart could only be expressed when he reached the underworld. A tear fell on the scabbard, as if mourning his untimely death.

"It's stupid to just die like this. A voice interrupted his decision. He opened his eyes blankly and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. The man was a rare and beautiful man, and he was looking at him contemptuously, with a hint of mockery on his lips. Nan Ming was stunned and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

The man seemed disdainful to answer his question, and instead said, "It turns out that this is your sweetheart." At this time, Concubine An was lying on the bed, her quiet face with a holy light, sacred and inviolable, the man looked down at her, I don't know what I thought, and I was silent for a while.

"Don't touch her!" shouted Nanming. He couldn't protect her during her lifetime, and he had to take care of her body after she died.

The man turned a deaf ear, and even touched Concubine An's face with his hand, Nan Ming was furious, and stabbed him with his sword, but he was grabbed by the wrist and couldn't move. The man looked at him very strangely, as if he was looking at a foolish child, obviously he was a palace guard with strong martial arts.

"This kind of skill, it can't be. The man succinctly concluded, and then as soon as he let go, Nanming was thrown far away, and the sword fell to the ground. He knew that he was no match for this strange man, but he had nothing to love, so he got up again and walked towards him.

"I really don't give up. The man said helplessly. "That's it, for your sake, I'll save her life for you. As soon as these words came out, Nan Ming immediately stopped in place, as if he didn't understand what he meant. Save her life? She's already dead, is this person a madman?

The man didn't care what Nan Ming thought, he saw that his hands were sealed, there were words in his mouth, a ray of light condensed on his fingertips, as the light became more and more prosperous, the entire hall was illuminated, and then all the light was gradually absorbed by Concubine An, and finally, he leaned over and said in Concubine An's ear: "Little girl, you are lucky to survive, don't forget to find the key for me, that is the key to open the ancient artifact." ”

"That's what he said?" asked Zhiying.

"Yes, that's it. Nan Ming affirmed.

"It's strange, who is he, how can he be sure that Concubine An can find the key?"

"Moreover, you don't think the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, you were just about to commit suicide here, and he came out immediately. I think he may have been hiding in the shadows from the beginning, and you will not be able to come out again, so that you may beg him. ”

But he didn't embarrass Nanming, but took the initiative to save Concubine An. ”

"Isn't it even more strange, how can there be anyone who saves people without trying to reciprocate, not to mention that Concubine An was already breathing at that time, this is equivalent to life and death, flesh and bones, it is a stunt that only exists in ancient books, how can it be displayed for no reason?" In her opinion, that person just has bad intentions, either he won't save it sooner rather than later, but he is stuck at the most critical time, saying that he doesn't believe it if he doesn't have an attempt, not to mention that he really has it.

"But the matter has come to this, and the salvation has been saved, Concubine An must know his conditions, maybe she will be hypnotized by him, or she will be very good and make trouble with the queen?"

"Actually, I'm also worried about her current situation. Nan Ming said, "She's a little different from before... It's just a lot bolder. ”

For this, Zhiying deeply agrees, she also thinks that Concubine An is too unusual, acting casually and chicly, and some remarks can be called shocking, not to mention the average lady, even if she is a more casual woman, she may not dare to say it. However, it is difficult to say whether this is a side effect of resurrection, and she did not do anything to hurt people's lives, so Zhiying believes that she should be rational for the time being.

After a dispute, although Nanming was careful of Concubine An, he was still ashamed to express it, so he asked them to keep this secret, otherwise the queen would spare her, and His Majesty would not tolerate this kind of thing. In this regard, the three of them all said that they would keep their mouths shut and would never leak it, otherwise they would not have to be embarrassed by Nanming, and they would work hard.

Nan Ming was reassured, reluctantly believed them, and said a few words before reluctantly going.
