In the royal study of the royal city, the silent King Wei made Yun Qian feel a little uneasy. Indeed, Fang Cai's own bold desire for military power is a taboo for every king.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine. This is a new prescription from Tai Hospital. Father-in-law Qian cautiously walked in with the decoction.

King Wei smelled the bitter taste, frowned, and said, "What kind of new recipe is it, who knows if it's good or not?" ”

Gonggong Qian scooped up a small spoonful of decoction, blew it gently, and then sent it to King Wei's mouth and said, "King, whether this medicine is good or not, you have to take it to know." If you have an old illness, you always have to try new prescriptions. The hospital is in the palace, and I tried a bad recipe to tear it up, but if I encounter the right elixir, it will be a great benefit. ”

"You old dog can talk." King Wei scolded with a smile, and then said to Yun Qian: "There is still a vacant position in the Southwest Temple, since you have a heart, I will let you go there." It's just that this is not as good as the main thing, and you still have a chance to choose now. ”

"King Xie, I am willing to lead the Southwest Temple to be a captain!" Yun Qian is overjoyed.

"That's it. You have to thank the old dog. In the future, you will be under his rule, and you should ask him for advice if you have anything, and don't always be reckless and ruthless. After speaking, King Wei took the medicine bowl and drank it all.

Yun Qian's heart was shocked. It seems to be a normal martial profession to be a captain for everything, but as soon as you hear that you are under the jurisdiction of this great lady, it is difficult for you to become a eunuch. He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly asked, "Uh... King, is this cavalry captain doing things in the palace? “

"Stinky boy." King Wei seemed to see through his worries, and his heart was happy, and he said: "The cavalry captains of the Southwest Temple are organized in the forbidden army, but they are at the disposal of the inner court. I'll let this old dog arrange the details for you. Don't worry, I don't want to see your thorn every day. ”

"King Xie!" Yun Qian sincerely kowtowed to him this time.

"I'm lonely. Stand down. King Wei waved his hand.

Yun Qian and Gonggong Qian slowly withdrew from the study after saluting, but when they first arrived at the door, they heard the majestic voice and said, "By the way, He Duxiu is a lonely person." ”

Yun Qian was stunned, and only sighed that the world was impermanent.

"General Yun, please stay in Fengqi Garden for a while. We'll take care of some things here, and I'll come back to you. The change of identity made Father-in-law Qian change his title, but it did not give Yun Qian an uncomfortable feeling.

In Fengqi Garden, a little eunuch accompanied Yun Qian to wander around boredly.

"Little father-in-law, what do you call it?"

"The little one is called Qian Kun."

"You are also surnamed Qian, and Father-in-law Qian actually has a son?"

"Father-in-law Qian is a little godfather."

"No wonder it scared me."

“……”

These are two people who are very bad at chatting. Yun Qian was in a good mood and kept looking for embarrassing topics, while Qian Kun was a little restrained.

There was a faint sound behind a rockery, and Yun Qian walked around with some curiosity, but found an old flower farmer in a gray and white cloth dress pruning a begonia.

Seeing Yun Qian and the two coming, the old flower farmer glanced up slightly, and continued to do things by himself. It was an old face covered with ravines, and his cloudy eyes made Yun Qian feel dangerous at that moment.

Yun Qian retreated a little nervously, he quietly looked at the flower farmer, but in the picture in front of him, it was obviously a comfortable old man, how could he be half murderous.

Yun Qian didn't know if the events of the past few days had made him a little nervous, but just as he continued to walk forward, the chill behind him flashed away again. He turned his head sharply and stared at the flower farmer, whose old face looked very ugly in front of the purple-leaved begonia in the sun.

"Yun Gongzi, what's wrong?" Qian Kun looked at Yun Qian with some puzzlement.

Yun Qian shook his head, walked briskly and said, "It's nothing, I just think that old man is a little strange." ”

Qian Kun smiled innocently and said, "I thought that old man was terrible alone. He is a mute who was arranged by his godfather to prune flowers and plants here three years ago. ”

"Huh? But he doesn't seem to be dressed like a person in the palace. Yun Qian and Qian Kun had already left the rockery far away at this time.

"Yun Gongzi is discerning. It was the godfather who saw him pitiful and arranged for him to be here. He had a dwelling outside the royal city, and only came here every day between the hour and the hour of the day to tend to the flowers and plants in the garden. After a moment of getting along, Qian Kun felt that Yun Qian was different from those nobles in ordinary days, and he was a very special person, and he unconsciously talked more.

Yun Qian was a little puzzled: "Does the king know about this?" ”

"I don't know what the godfather said to the king at the time, anyway, the king seems to have acquiesced. And there is a rumor about this dumb slave in private..."Qian Kun looked excited, and lowered his voice a little frightened.

Yun Qian's eyelids jumped, and he pretended not to care and asked, "What rumors?" ”

Qian Kun bowed his waist slightly, and after looking around with a thief's eyebrows, he leaned closer to Yun Qian and said: "Three years ago, just a month before this dumb slave appeared here, there was a big incident in the palace..."

Qian Kun said the same thing, and stopped in fear, but the desire to win attention in his heart was very unbearable. Seeing Yun Qian's inquiring gaze, Qian Kun's heart pounded, and he continued with a trembling tone: "At that time, the king's youngest son, who was only one year old, suddenly died of a strange disease. Three days later, Concubine Rong, the biological mother of Her Royal Highness, also suddenly went crazy. She died after setting a fire to the Frost Taki Palace. ”

Yun Qian's eyes looked at Qian Kun solemnly. Yun Qian's reason told him that he shouldn't explore this matter anymore, but everyone would inevitably have a strange interest in this kind of palace secrets. The supreme kingship is awe-inspiring, but the more it is, the more people want to spy on the dangerous and hard-to-reach things within. When there is a gap in that ten thousand rays of light, revealing that kind of ugliness and conspiracy, everyone can't help but want to see what is going on. Topics that were taboo for royal power were more likely to turn into gossip, as evidenced countless times in the annals of history in the fall of those high-handed dynasties.

Looking at Yun Qian's shocked appearance, Qian Kun felt more and more satisfied, and he continued to lower his voice and said: "According to rumors, the fire in the Frost Dragon Palace burned everyone, but only Concubine Rong was not injured. Concubine Rong's body was found intact, except for a purple-blue jacaranda flower outlined around her neck. ”

"What does this have to do with that dumb slave?" Yun Qian didn't want to continue this topic. It turned out that Jiang Pingxuan was not an only son in the true sense, and this idea made Yun Qian desperate to stop those terrible associations that followed.

"Yun Gongzi is asking the point." Qian Kun said a little proudly: "I heard some palace maids who know the inside story say that this dumb slave worked in the Frost Dragon Palace back then, and he was the only one who survived the fire. ”

"Is there any evidence for this?" Yun Qian's expression froze.

"It's all just a private rumor, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes. Maybe only the godfather knows something, but..."

"Since it's all imaginary things, then ask the father-in-law of Xiao Qian to be cautious about others in the future. Yun should have heard nothing today. Yun Qian interrupted Qian Kun's words with some righteous words, it was time to end here.

"Yes." Qian Kun was a little unwilling, but he also knew that Yun Qian was also protecting himself.
