Starry Night returned to the inn, Ye Lu and the others were waiting, and the first thing they wanted to do was to ask if the palace was gorgeous?

Where the minister went to court, was the ground covered with gold?

Isn't there a beautiful palace maid everywhere?

Are there a lot of concubines who look like fairies?

This made Starry Night unable to answer, after all, he just went to the imperial study, passed by a garden, and there were few people to see.

Even Wei Hong had never been to the palace.

Starry Night said how he felt when he entered the palace, and when he walked to the center of the imperial power, he didn't feel excited, and he only felt depressed.

This kind of depression was only better after meeting His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

"Who gave you the ring?" Ye Lu keenly discovered the spirit ring.

"Your Majesty's reward. ”

Starry Night took off the spirit ring and turned into a small beast, which was his second spirit ring.

The little beast is very cute and comes with its own defenses, which is obviously a rare treasure.

The first thing Starry Night did when he returned to the room was to put all his things in it, and then he didn't have to carry a package when he went out.

It was late at night, and many people fell into a deep sleep.

Starry Night practiced in the room.

The imperial capital seems to be peaceful, but for some families, it is a sleepless night.

Starry Night became the Dragon Protector, and Wang, Liu, Lin, Zhao, Shen, and Tang, the families that had unpleasant encounters with Starry Night, were in a state of worry.

There was news from the palace that His Majesty did not read those twists and turns about the starry night, and laughed loudly at noon, and even drank wine, which proved that he was in an excellent mood.

You must know that Your Majesty has not drunk alcohol for two years.

It seems to be just a small thing, but it is enough to show his trust in the dragon protector.

"I just said that those twists and turns are useless, Your Majesty has just appointed a dragon protector, so he is naturally full of confidence. ”

Elder Wang, who used to be the Elder of the Star Martial Sect, came back and still served as the family elder, and he sat there, frowning.

"This is not true, His Majesty trusts him now, but the future is not certain. It may become a seed that will take root years later. Elder Lin, who had been expelled very early, said.

"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, no one can predict what the future will be, this move seems ridiculous now, who can say for sure in the future?" Elder Tang also said.

During the day, they ordered the people of the family to visit the dragon protector and carry heavy gifts, and at night they used their connections to draft a memora and send it to the palace.

"Old Tang, what's the situation on your side?" Elder Shen turned his head to look at Elder Tang, "Your junior seems to have a good relationship with the Dragon Protector, see if you can get closer?" And Lao Wang, your doll seems to be among them. ”

Speaking of this, Elder Tang had a hundred hatreds in his heart, and the good things were messed up by him, and now the other elders of the family have complained about him and have begun to test his rights.

"It's still following up, but Starry Night is not what it used to be, and it will be difficult to go further. Elder Tang shook his head and said.

"My junior is even more inadequate, because he has a bad background, he has been working against the family since he was a child, and among those descendants, none of them look at him pleasing to the eye. Elder Wang was also a little helpless, of course he was referring to Wang Can.

"Lao Lin, what about you?"

Elder Shen looked at Elder Lin again, "I heard that Lin Feng's little girlfriend once had a very good relationship with the Dragon Protector?"

When Elder Lin heard this, his face immediately turned ugly, "What's good, it's a grudge, I can't wait to slap that girl to death, if it wasn't for her self-made cleverness, our relationship with the Dragon Protector might not be so bad." ”

"Since there is no relationship that can be brought closer, then what should we do?" Elder Shen said, "The rise of the Dragon Protector is only a matter of time, if we don't think of a way now, when the Dragon Protector becomes a knife bearer, it will be useless to stammer." ”

"Perhaps, we can strike first!" Elder Lin's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The others looked at each other, but none responded.

Killing a starry night before yesterday is nothing.

Killing a starry night after yesterday is comparable to rebellion!

The night was deeper, and several elders left one after another, leaving only the two elders of the Shen family and the Zhao family behind.

The elder of the Zhao family said: "These three old foxes, none of them are sincere, the Lin family has invited that girl into the family as a guest yesterday, and the one who disliked it before did not let her enter the door of the Lin family at all." The Wang family and the Tang family also intend to use their juniors to get in touch with the starry night, especially the Tang family, which may use the way of marriage. And when they pull together the relationship, they may fall into the trap for us. ”

Elder Shen sneered: "The idea is good, but the reality is often cruel, the Tang family's last incident has almost become the laughing stock of the imperial capital, how can the contemporary dragon protector agree to the marriage between the two sides again? The most important thing is that the direct appointment of the dragon protector this time is enough to prove that the royal family attaches great importance to the starry night, in order to firmly tie him to the royal warship, maybe the nine imperial daughters will be used to marry." ”

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the elders of the Zhao family.

"I'm just guessing, after all, that's the safest thing for the royal family. ”

When the crown prince was in power, the matter of His Majesty's intention to abdicate has been spread in the streets, and there is talk about this matter after tea and dinner.

From restaurants to teahouses on the side of the road, you can hear discussions every day.

There are also rumors about today's dragon protectors, and with the passage of time, they are even more divine.

What a teenage hero, a genius from the sky, and so on.

In the past few days, outside the inn to which the Qingniu Sect belongs, the figure of the family is still there, and the invitations continue every day, and Starry Night refuses all of them under the pretext that he has not recovered from his injury.

Originally, Starry Night planned to return to the Qingniu Sect to practice, but during this period, the elder appeared once and told Starry Night to wait first, and His Majesty might have a second summons.

Starry Night stayed in the inn and couldn't go out, but Ye Lu went out every day, and sometimes came back to bring some famous snacks to Starry Night.

During this period, the three princes came twice, and Tang Yu and the others never came again.

The palace is very lively, very prosperous, and the security is excellent, and on the surface it is very calm and thriving.

In fact, in the dark, the undercurrent has long been turbulent, and various forces and families have become active.

Xingye was practicing, and he didn't know that he had seen the three princes three times, and he had already made a very thick twist and turn and handed it to the palace.

And I don't know when, there is a rumor that Starry Night and the Third Prince are good friends.

Qingqing went to the palace today, but did not enter through the main gate, and the palace maids and eunuchs she met along the way were as if she had not seen her.

She went directly to the imperial study, without being reported by her father-in-law, and walked straight in, and saw His Majesty the Emperor lying on the chair.

"You're here?" His Majesty glanced at Qingqing when he heard the movement, and closed his eyes again.

"How can this be?" Qingqing asked.

"That's what it is. His Majesty said.

"Is there no other way?" Qingqing looked at His Majesty, there was no awe in his eyes for the most powerful existence in this empire, there was only complexity.

"This is our mission. ”

His Majesty shook his head slowly and said, "It has been like this for thousands of years. ”

Qingqing sat directly opposite His Majesty, silent and did not speak.

His Majesty opened his eyes again and glanced at her, "Don't worry, I can't die for the time being, Xian'er, I will arrange it properly, what is the current situation of the Star Martial Sect?"

"It seems to be calm, but in fact it is not very good, the power of the family is deep-rooted, and it is difficult to uproot it all in a short time. Qingqing said.

"Take your time, but you must ensure that there are no problems with the Star Martial Saint Peak, that is the fundamental thing to prevent turmoil!"

Qingqing nodded, and then asked, "Over there in the starry night, how is the situation?"

Not much different from the record, he admitted that he had seen the emperor, and naturally he was from the same place as the emperor. ”

His Majesty rubbed his eyebrows, and the tiredness on his face dissipated a little, "Perhaps, the person we have to wait for is him." ”

Qingqing didn't have a surprised expression, because she had expected it in advance, and judging from some recent rumors in the imperial capital, she could also guess a lot of things.

"About the Marriage ...... Starry Night"

As soon as Qingqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by His Majesty's raised hand, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements." ”

Qingqing nodded, and said, "Since you believe it's him, when are you going to tell him the truth?"

"Just for a few days. ”

Then the two sides were speechless, and the two sat opposite each other, both silent.

After a few moments, Qingqing left the imperial study.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Li Xian.

Li Xian immediately saluted Qingqing and shouted to the eldest princess.

Qingqing glanced at Li Xian, nodded, and walked past him.

"Big sister. ”

After that, Li Manyue came and waved at her by the lotus pond.

Qingqing had a smile on her face, "Why did you come here today?"

"Come and see Father. Li Manyue smiled: "You just came out of the imperial study, how is your father's health?"

"I can't die yet. There was no respect for His Majesty in Qingqing's tone.

When the prince saw her, he called her the eldest princess.

And as the Nine Emperor Daughters of the Empire, that is, the younger sister of the crown prince, she was called the eldest sister when she saw Qingqing.

I have to say that Qingqing's status in the royal family is extremely wonderful.

The main reason is that the emperor went out that year, picked up a child, and gave him the surname Li, named Qingqing.

It stands to reason that Li Qingqing should be the daughter of the former emperor, that is, the sister of His Majesty today.

It's just that the age difference between the two is too big.

Qingqing is not much different from the crown prince Li Xian, and she grew up playing with Li Manyue and Tang Yu since she was a child, so she let them call her sister.

The generations are chaotic, but Qingqing doesn't care, Your Majesty is entrusted by the death of the emperor, and she is also up to her.

Anyway, the royal family did not announce the existence of Qingqing to the outside world.

In the palace, many palace maids and eunuchs saw her, but they didn't see her.

Li Xian didn't dare to mess with his seniority because of his identity, Li Manyue didn't care about this, and his father never reprimanded him, this name was more than ten years.

As for Tang Yu's bolder, he directly called her a femme fatale.

The prince and His Majesty wanted to discuss business, and Qingqing accompanied Li Manyue for a walk in the garden.

Two days later, Gonggong Yan went to Starry Night again, saying that it was summoned by His Majesty.

Xingye followed Gonggong Yan to the palace, this time instead of going to the imperial study, but to the Jinluan Palace.

It is indeed resplendent here, the ground is as smooth as a glass mirror, and the golden stone pillars around it are depicted with dragons and phoenixes.

After Yan Gonggong brought the starry night, he immediately retreated.

Starry Night clenched his fists and said, "Meet Your Majesty!"

Still not kneeling on one knee.

His Majesty didn't care, and beckoned: "Come here, come up." ”

Starry Night was stunned and let yourself go to it?

It doesn't seem like a rule.

"Come, I'll show you something today, this is also the biggest secret of the Star Martial Empire. Your Majesty said again.

This made Starry Night's face change, the biggest secret of the empire, Your Majesty wants to tell yourself?

Isn't it going to be said before you finish speaking?
