After Qi Ming was forced to leave, Yan Mo followed the prince to the East Palace.

The East Palace is full of spring at the moment, the orchid grass is fragrant, the swifts on the beam flutter their wings, and the chirp flies through the state of mind that is just like a strange brocade, he led the Yan guards into the inner courtyard, looking back from time to time, and it is difficult to hide the smile at the corners of the mouth The palace people in the courtyard only think that the prince won the spoils from the hands of King Yi'an, and they are very happy.

"Are you okay? Why don't you let me check your pulse? After the two of them sat down, Qi Jin looked at the face of the Yan guard and asked.

"Brother Jin, don't worry, the battle just now has passed, and there is nothing to do now." Yan Weizhan replied with a smile.

"That'll be fine." Seeing that Yan Mo's face was normal, Qi Jin looked brisk, observing her, the familiar eyebrows and eyes have changed a little now, a pair of crystal eyes are still the same as always, when he saw the fake beard, Qi Jin said with slight disgust, "Your beard is really"

"Brother Jin, don't make fun of me!" Thinking of the stickiness of the fake beard, Yan Mo couldn't help but show dead fish eyes and look back at the prince.

Qijin "Okay, I won't make fun of you, there are a lot of things going on this morning, I'm afraid that you will be hungry, so I asked Bai Xue and Lan Xue to prepare lunch in advance." ”

Yan guard: "Brother Jin, no, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Although there is a difference between the inner and outer courtyards, after all, there are many people with mixed eyes, so as not to be suspicious of others, the subordinates still eat with the palace guards. ”

"Do you really want to dine with them?" Lan Xue came in with a plate of Longjing crisp and put it on the coffee table. Snow white followed, serving a variety of delicious dishes.

After it was set, the delicacies were fragrant, especially the plate of bright roast chicken, and Yan Guard swallowed it a few times

"Sit down and eat in peace." The crown prince smiled, "It's okay, you are Brother Ming's guard, and there is a little special treatment, and those palace people will not notice anything." ”

The Yan guard was really moved when he looked at the food, "Okay, after finishing the meal, His Royal Highness will take me to familiarize myself with the terrain in the palace." As he spoke, the guard wanted to pinch Lan Xue's face again, but he saw the other party dodging!

"Don't forget that you are a man now, don't mess with the maids in the East Palace!" Lan Xue dodged the pink fingers stretched out in the air, looking distant.

Yan Guard: "Are you still angry?" Yesterday I didn't have a lot of Lan Xue, you adults, don't worry about me"

"The subordinates don't dare! A blast damaged only Master An's porcelain, the Xuantie pot in the north, and the bamboo vessels in the Hongkan Workshop" Lan Xue's expression was cold, as if counting the crimes, and said one by one, "The truffles of the Southern Jiao Kingdom, the three-leaf green of Dali, the perilla of the Western Regions, the sweet fruits of the Western Frontier, the lychees of the South, and the others are nothing!" ”

"Hehehe" the corners of Yan Guard's mouth twitched, "They must be all rare things, you should really be angry with me"

"Lan Xue." The prince called.

Lan Xue instantly regained her normal color, and said respectfully to the two, "It's a subordinate who has trespassed." ”

"Eh~" After Yan Mo helped Lan Xue up, he approached the prince and said softly, "Brother Jin, I still want to have a good relationship with them, don't help you!" After speaking, he winked at the prince.

The prince lowered his eyes and smiled, and said softly to Lan Xue Baixue, "Stand down."

"Yes." The two withdrew silently, leaving the prince and Yan Mo to start dining.

The prince said that the guards wanted to visit the palace, were they afraid that the East Palace would be boring? ”

Yan Escort avoided the prince's eyes, bit the chicken leg and said, "Your Highness said that it is difficult for subordinates to enter the palace, and I want to familiarize myself with the terrain in the palace, so as not to get lost and cause trouble for you." ”

The prince heard the Zhiwu in Yan Mo's words, frowned and said, "Just now, you told Brother Ming that it is not easy to enter the palace, and you can't miss this opportunity, but what are the plans in your heart?" ”

Yan Escort put down the chicken legs, looked at the prince, and then lowered his eyes and said, "The prince also went through hardships back then, and I still have unsolved mysteries."

"You want to find out who was behind that?!" The prince was so excited that he knocked over the teacup, "No! You"

"Brother Jin!" Yan Guard grabbed the prince's wrist and shook his head.

In case the partition wall has ears, he shouldn't be so excited to think about this, the prince subconsciously clenched his palms, thinking, I finally changed my identity and came back alive, maybe I shouldn't involve you in the palace For you, it's safer outside

"I know that Brother Jin is worried about my safety, but this is something I must accomplish" Yan Guard stared at the prince and said resolutely, "Brother Jin, you have to help me!" ”

"I, I don't want to lose you again" The prince's sad face spread, looking back at Yan Mo

Yan Guard: "Brother Jin, don't worry, I'm no longer the child I was back then, with the help of you and the fox, I'll be fine." ”

The prince held Yan Mo's hands and said, "No! You shouldn't get involved, let it go! This way you can get through this life smoothly! ”

Yan Escort looked at the prince for a long time, his eyes were pitying, and said: "Seventy lives back then, including my relatives and my friends, they all died tragically, how can I let go, besides, the mastermind behind the scenes may still be staring at you and the fox, we can't hide for a lifetime, right?" ”

Prince: "I, I'd rather hide for the rest of my life"

Yan Guard shook the prince's wrist and said nervously, "If the mastermind behind the scenes is really a force in the palace, do you want me to watch you in a different place?" Over the years, I have been searching around the people, but I have gained few clues, so it seems that it is very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes is a person in the palace! ”

"You don't understand!" The prince shook off the hand of the guard, and suddenly got up and turned his back, "You could have lived freely, yes, you could have indulged the rivers and lakes without wading into troubled waters!" ”

"Brother Jin, that is the warmth I once had, it is my family, and now your situation may also be in danger, how can I be reluctant and wanton alone?" The guard said and came to the prince and met his eyes!

The prince twisted his eyebrows and stared at Yan Mo for a long time, and suddenly felt unwell, "Cough cough!"

"Brother Jin?" Yan Guard held him up, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Ahem, it's okay, ahem, it's okay for a while," the prince slowly sat down

"I've always wanted to ask why Brother Jin are you so thin? The last time I saw you in the palace, it was like this! Yan Guard said nervously.

"It's okay to get in the way" The prince grabbed Yan Mo's hand and pulled her into a seat, "Let's eat, since you insist, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the palace" He stabilized his mind, suppressed the illness, and began to eat silently

Yan Guard saw that his symptoms had eased but didn't want to say more, although he was worried, he didn't want to force him, so he also ate quietly.

After lunch, Bai Xue brought medicinal soup, and after the prince took it, he took it and walked around the palace with his guards.

"This is the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, go in with the palace." The prince led the Yan guards into the room, and when he saw that the Queen Mother was taking a nap, he motioned for the Yan guards to stay where they were, and he stepped forward to the front of the seat, lying on his stomach like a child, waiting for the Queen Mother to wake up

The Queen Mother's breath fluctuated a few times, and after a while, she woke up and squinted to see the prince looking at her with a bright smile

"Grandma Huang." The prince called well-behaved.

"Ah Jin'er" With the support of the crown prince, the queen mother slowly sat up, "I heard that you are acting for your father and the emperor recently?" ”

The crown prince "Yes, the imperial grandmother, the grandson also wants to share the worries of his father"

The Queen Mother showed a pleased smile, "My Jin'er has grown up, I heard that you have settled the troubles that the emperor has not been able to settle, the imperial grandmother is relieved in her heart, the future of the country will be handed over to you, the imperial grandmother can rest assured!" ”

The prince "is worthy of the society, and there are still many places for the grandson to learn, but in fact, the trouble for the grandson was handed over to the second emperor's brother to deal with"

"Ming'er?" The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, "Jin'er, did you do it on purpose?" ”

The crown prince's second brother is outstanding, and with him helping his grandson, his grandson will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

The Queen Mother: "Hey, it is precisely because Ming'er is very smart and like the emperor of the year that the emperor will drive him to build his own mansion early, so that those who have a heart will break their thoughts!" With this move, I'm afraid that the court will be restless in the future."

Prince: "Grandma Huang, Brother Ming has secretly helped his grandson all these years, you know that if he has a heart, his grandson is no longer the prince." ”

Queen Mother "Because of this, you shouldn't recruit him back to the court, and send him when you need him from time to time."

The crown prince "Grandma Huang rest assured, the grandson has a spectrum in his heart, Brother Ming is also clear in his heart, his grandson's life has been protected by him several times, the court is treacherous, there is only one grandson, I really can't deal with it, with the support of Brother Ming, the grandson is more sure." ”

Queen Mother: "Okay, the imperial grandmother knows that you know it in your heart, and Ming'er probably doesn't like the life in the palace and doesn't want to see the imperial grandmother of the mourning family."

Prince: "Grandma Huang, where did you say!" We are all your grandchildren, how can we not like you?! ”

"Hehe~" The Queen Mother smiled, "No matter what happens to the mourning family, as long as Jin'er likes the imperial grandmother!" ”

"My grandson likes Grandma Huang the most!"

Yan Mo on the side heard the meaning of this conversation, it seems that the fox has a lot of reasons for going out of the palace and building the mansion, why does the queen mother say that the fox doesn't want to see her more?

"Huh?" The Queen Mother noticed the upright Yan guard, and asked the prince, "Who is this child?"

The prince looked at the Yan guard, and smiled at the queen mother, "She is my handle!" With her, Brother Ming has a lot of scruples in his heart. ”

Queen Mother: "Oh, it turns out that he is the guard you asked for from Ming'er?" ”

The crown prince "exactly, but it's only been half a day, and the things in the palace really can't be hidden from the imperial grandmother!" ”

The Queen Mother said to Yan Guard, "Come, get closer, and let the mourning family take a look." ”

Yan Escort stepped forward respectfully, knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates, see the Queen Mother." ”

"Get up, take a look at the mourning family, yo, it's good-looking, it's just that this beard is a little sloppy," said the Queen Mother, frowning.

After standing, Yan Guard's voice said, "Back to the Queen Mother, the subordinates are born with white faces, and growing beards can be more masculine, so the beards of the subordinates can't be shaved!" ”

"Aha~" The Queen Mother smiled heartily, "This kid is interesting!" It's not that the mourning family let you shave it, it's just to fix it, don't drown out your appearance, so that you can get a good marriage in the future! ”

Yan Guard looked at the prince who had been smiling at him, knelt down and said respectfully, "Empress Dowager Xie is worried." ”

The Queen Mother continued to laugh and said, "Eh! Get up, you will assist the prince more in the future, which one will benefit from a marriage! ”

Yan Escort rolled his eyes slightly while listening, and said respectfully, "My subordinates will obey Yi's order." ”

After talking to the Queen Mother, out of Ci'an Palace, the prince took Yan to escort one by one through Concubine Xuan's Joy Palace, Concubine Li's Qingque Palace, Wu Guifei's Xing'e Palace and then came to the imperial dining room, martial arts training ground, and imperial garden

The two of them walked on the empty stone ground, and the prince gestured with his eyes, "Those are the Praetorian Guards, except for the palace gate, there are the most guards near the Qinzheng Palace." ”

Yan Escort looked around and asked, "The palace that I passed by just now was the palace of the concubine, why is there no queen?" ”

The crown prince "Since the death of Empress Xiaochun, his father has not been established again, and now the palace is led by Concubine Niangniang." ”

Yan guards "Empress Xiaochun? But Her Highness's mother? ”

"No, my mother is Concubine Qin, the niece of the Queen Mother, Empress Xiaochun did not leave a son and a half daughter, I heard that she was my father's childhood playmate, and she was only eighteen or nine years old when she died." The crown prince looked up at the sky and continued, "My father did this because I had no queen and no concubine, and I, as the eldest son, had the protection of the queen mother, so the ownership of the crown prince's position was naturally clear."

Yan guards "that Qin Concubine Niangniang"

"The mother concubine is weak, and after giving birth to me, she passed away within a few years" The prince took out the sachet in his arms and rubbed it, "I can't remember her appearance, if she is still alive, my father should make her the queen."

Yan Escort looked at the somewhat familiar sachet and said, "Your Highness, don't be sad, Concubine Qin, Niangniang is in the spirit of the sky, I must want to see you happy."

The prince smiled sadly and said, "Yes, you're right, I can't let my mother see me like this" As he said that, he put away the sachet, looked up at the palace, and explained to the guards, "This is the cold palace, and then it is the west gate of the palace." ”

Yan Escort glanced at it, the palace door was locked, lifeless, it was still afternoon, there was still a little warmth, if it was night, I was afraid that it would be even colder here

"Okay, the entire palace is basically finished, some small halls and small rooms, I'll take you to get acquainted with it later." As he spoke, the prince led Yan to escort back to the East Palace.

In the evening, the prince placed Yan in the guest room closest to his dormitory, next door to Lan Xue and Bai Xue's room.

Yan Mo finally took off the disguise of the guard, and Lan Xue sent a few sets of women's clothes, "This is the robe prepared for you by His Royal Highness, choose the one you like to stay." ”

Yan Mo took a general look, chose two sets of convenient ones to stay, and Lan Xue returned to the prince's bedroom with the remaining robes to report.

The crown prince looked at the gorgeous clothes that were not selected and smiled, "Sure enough, she likes warm colors and sleeves, and these are returned to the Shang Palace Bureau." ”

"Yes." Lan Xue ordered to retreat.

The prince came to the windowsill, the courtyard was full of flowers swaying quietly, filled with a slight fragrance, the window edge of the neighboring house reflected the graceful figure, she was sitting quietly with her cheeks, thinking about what at this moment the prince's heart is contradictory, there are words indifferent, his heart is more stable, but because she is, he feels that the silence in the palace is only a virtual appearance

In the palace of Yi'an Wang, the half-rolled sparse curtain seeped candlelight, speechless and silent, Qi Ming finished handling the official business at hand, took out a document, and opened it with Zhu Qi's life deeds, this person is the candidate for the new county order of Anyan Town selected by Qi Ming.

He put away the paperwork, stood in front of the window, looked at the night sky and sighed, "The moon is bright in the night, but the Yiren are not there." The flowers and leaves of the empty garden are faint, and it is difficult for the gossamer to fall into a dream, but it is only the first day, and the heart is already so empty."

Xiao Ren, who was sitting on the big tree in the courtyard, was nibbling on steamed buns, and when he saw Qi Ming standing in front of the window, he couldn't help but shake his head and say to himself: "It's hard to understand, even if you are as smart as the master, you will not be spared, hey, I don't know if the princess can come back this time when she enters the palace."

In the cold palace, which is completely different from Fannuan, the dead branches tremble, the tree patterns are twisted, the wind-blown door creaks, and where the dead leaves roll up, three hanged white-clothed female corpses are shocked! The hem of the clothes is flying wildly! It seems to be boneless inside, and it is spiritual!!
