Because the crown prince Yang Yong single-handedly directed a good play in which today's favorite was killed, the Cheng brothers and sisters were willing to be scapegoats, and whether it was Zhang Heng, or the queen mother Dugu Jialuo, and the eldest sister Yang Lihua all realized that this would open a door to the East Palace for Yang Guang. This made Yang Guang feel that he had never felt a pressure on his shoulders before.

Yang Guangfa didn't want to enter the East Palace from the bottom of his heart and seek to seize the crown prince's position as the emperor, but what he was most afraid of was that others didn't think so in their hearts, especially what made him worried was that he couldn't imagine that his eldest brother would do something more unexpected and stupid next, forcing himself into the whirlpool of seizing the throne and competing for the crown prince, and he was unable to extricate himself.

If you really want to get to that point, what should you do? As a time-traveler, he doesn't want to reinterpret the existing development trajectory along history, but it is difficult to stop how others will behave, which is the problem he feels is the most troublesome.

Bidding farewell to his eldest sister Yang Lihua and returning to Lanzhi Palace, where Xiao E's mother and son lived, Yang Guangwei got rid of his complicated mood as soon as possible, and did not consider investigating Pang Xun's case to the end for the time being.

The family happily played until the fixed watch, seeing that Xiao Yang Zhao and Xiao Yang Jian were dozing off one after another, Yang Guangcai ordered someone to take the two sons back to their respective accommodations to rest, and explained to Xiao E that he would take people to patrol the palace tonight to prevent evil spirits from entering the palace again to cause trouble, and stepped out of Lanzhi Palace.

As soon as he walked out of Lanzhi Palace, he saw Guo Yan already waiting outside the palace gate. Yang Guang stepped forward and told him: "In the past two days, Princess Leping and Princess Lanling have moved to live in Chufang Palace, and you can arrange more manpower in these two palaces to prevent evil ghosts from causing trouble." ”

Guo Yan followed behind Yang Guang and began to patrol the night, and replied: "At the end of the day, the general has received the news, and has sent additional manpower outside the Hongsheng Palace and the Zhufang Palace respectively, be careful to take precautions, please rest assured." ”

"I've been sleeping heavily at night for the past few days, and I haven't noticed it, do you still insist on being on duty outside Lanzhi Palace every night, waiting for that evil ghost to come to Lanzhi Palace?" Yang Guang asked Guo Yandao casually as he walked.

"In recent days, the prince has been busy outside the palace on official business, and the last general has not yet had time to make it clear to the prince, and the last general has asked the two little eunuchs who offended the prince behind the Lanzhi Palace on the night of the accident in the Linde Palace, they were attacked from behind, and they were dragged into the grass and slept until dawn after being knocked unconscious, and then contacted the two wild cats who did not know who was put into the Lanzhi Palace. Therefore, the last general slept enough during the day for the past few days, and still insisted on being on duty at Lanzhi Palace every night, and he would catch evil ghosts alive to see the prince sooner or later. Guo Yan replied.

"You're on duty alone in Lan Zhi Palace?" Yang Guang turned his head, stared at Guo Yan, and reminded him, "If that evil ghost really comes, can you catch it alone?" ”

"When there are many people, there will be a lot of movement, and the last general will not dare to come for fear of alarming the evil spirits."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have a hard time." Because he saw some shadows of Zhang Xutuo from Guo Yan, Yang Guang couldn't help but have a good impression of him, thought about it, and asked him half-jokingly, "There is still a lack of a commander in the hussar battalion in my house, I wonder if General Guo is interested in giving in?" ”

Guo Yan replied with a fist clenched: "Accept the prince's kind invitation, but the last general is in the guard, if you can't clear the palace ban and clear the evil ghosts, what face do you have to lead the hussar camp in the prince's mansion?" ”

"If General Guo catches that evil ghost one day, I'm afraid that my father will be reluctant to let you out of the forbidden army. This king is just a joke, and the general must not take it seriously. ”

The two chatted while walking, and at the end of the second watch, they had already inspected all parts of the palace, and did not find anything abnormal, so they returned to the gate of Lanzhi Palace and broke up. Yang Guang walked into Lanzhi Palace to rest, while Guo Yan jumped on the roof, bent down and began to watch the night in Lanzhi Palace.

Xu was a little tired from being tossed by the two children during the day, Yang Guang walked into the dormitory and saw that the princess Xiao E was already asleep on the bed.

Yang Guang also felt a strong sense of sleepiness hit his heart, so he hastily washed and changed his clothes under the service of the maid who was on duty outside the dormitory, and lay down beside Xiao E.

I don't know how long it was, Yang Guang vaguely heard someone shouting outside the window: "The evil ghost is coming, don't let it go." ”

Yang Guangteng turned over and sat up, stretched out his hand to touch the sword, and asked, "Where is the evil ghost?" Who's yelling outside? ”

The maid Luluo, who was on night duty outside the dormitory, also woke up from her dream, stumbled into the dormitory and replied, "Lord Wang, it seems that General Guo is calling people to hunt ghosts." But I didn't see any ghosts. ”

"You stay here with the princess, and wait for me to go out and have a look." Yang Guang was holding a sword in his hand, and he was about to leave the palace when he stepped forward.

Princess Xiao E just woke up at this time, and when she saw that her husband was going out of the palace to catch ghosts, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed him, and persuaded: "The prince must not go out of the palace in danger, or call more people, find out what is going on outside and then make plans." ”

Yang Guang listened to the shouts outside and gradually faded away, so he ignored Xiao E's obstruction and walked out of the dormitory quickly.

"Where is Guo Yan? Where are the demons? Yang Guang came out of the dormitory, and saw that there were seven or eight maids and servants who had been awakened and came out to check the movement, and there were no Guo Yan and evil ghosts, so he asked them.

One of the bold maids raised her hand and pointed to the north, and replied, "I just heard someone shouting about ghost hunting in the distance......

Yang Guang didn't wait for her to finish, he rushed out of the palace gate with his sword, and he didn't want to step out of the palace gate with one foot, but he tripped over something under his feet and almost fell. The maids and servants hurriedly ran over, holding torches to illuminate Yang Guang.

Under the reflection of the torches, Yang Guang looked down at his feet, and saw that many tiles were falling horizontally and vertically outside the main gate of Lanzhi Palace, and Fang Cai himself was almost tripped over by these tiles.

Just as Yang Guang was lingering outside the gate of Lanzhi Palace, he heard a noisy sound of people in the distance to the north, and then a fire lit up.

"Wait until you go back to the palace to protect the princess and grandson, and I'll go back as soon as I go." Yang Guang didn't know what was going on in the north, so he was anxious, and loudly ordered all the maids and servants, and ran down to the north.

According to the overall plan of the construction of Daxing Palace in the second year of Kaihuang, Lanzhi Palace is located in the harem of the south of Daxing Palace, and there is a wall about three zhang high between the front palace of the emperor and the emperor's daily handling of court affairs.

Yang Guang carried a sword in his hand, and when he ran all the way to the palace wall between the front and back palaces, he found that nearly a hundred Qianniu soldiers with torches, bows and arrows and other things had gathered near the palace wall, and they were looking at the other side of the palace wall and talking about something.
