Jun Huaiyu looked at Yang Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Why did Aiqing take all the blame on herself?" You have been defending Chengqi for me for three years, although you are not victorious in a hundred battles, but your bravery is also to make the enemy afraid and afraid, where do you come from, it is my incompetence, I have no talent for governing the country, and I have no forgiveness, even if Xiao Aofeng really surrendered to treason, it was actually only his doing, it was my mistake, I should not implicate the innocent. ”

Although the meaning of these words did not say that Yang Zhi was blamed, it did not let him get up, which shows the attitude in his heart.

Yang Zhi thought to himself, what is going on in this harem? Which concubine is so bold as to dare to replace the general in front of the emperor? It seems that the emperor is angry, and he has a grudge against me and the general, doubting my loyalty to him.

He replied: "No, the ministers can understand the emperor's feelings, but they all misunderstood the emperor, and they don't understand who is the master in this world, and who they should be loyal to. ”

Even if he had an opinion in his heart, he didn't dare to say it directly in front of Jun Huaiyu, he didn't want his head anymore.

Jun Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you really think so?" ”

Yang Zhi replied without hesitation: "Of course, the minister has always thought so, the minister understands the emperor's pain, so the minister is also willing to be loyal to the emperor, although Xiao Aofeng has indeed had several life-saving graces to the minister, but before the big right and wrong, in front of the family and country, the minister does not dare to be ambiguous, and please believe in the loyalty of the minister!" ”

"I naturally believe in your loyalty, otherwise I would not have let you sit in the position of this great general, I hope you will not live up to my expectations of you and my kindness." Jun Huaiyu said with other meanings.

Yang Zhi lowered his head and clenched his fists, "The minister will not disappoint the emperor, please rest assured!" ”

Jun Huaiyu bowed his head in satisfaction, "I know, you get up, don't worry, your wife and children will send someone to guard you well, and you won't let the assassins hurt them, you just need to do things for me without distraction." ”

Yang Zhi heard the threat in his words, and said obediently: "Yes, the emperor, thank the emperor." ”

"No need Xie Zhen, this is what you deserve, is there anything else?"

"Back to the emperor, the ministers still have something to ask for." Yang Zhi said.

"Say."

"Back to the emperor, the minister is not worried about the emperor's safety, worried that the assassin will sneak into the palace, and asks the emperor to allow the minister to carefully inspect the palace, and after the emperor has removed all hidden dangers, the minister can rest assured." Yang Zhi said loyally.

Jun Huaiyu glanced at him and saw that he was thinking about his own safety, so he agreed: "I agreed, Aiqing must also patrol carefully, don't make any mistakes, I and Chengqi still need your protection." ”

"Yes, the minister!"

After Yang Zhi left, Jun Huaiyu summoned Xiao Dezi and asked him to strengthen the precautions in the palace, and began to watch the twists and turns.

There have been a lot of things today, plus Lin Yue's doubts have not been eliminated, and now that there is an assassin again, Jun Huaiyu has no intention of asking someone to sleep.

When Yang Zhi left the Chengqing Palace, he began to deal with the guards in the palace of the same age, and after telling him about the assassins, he asked for a small group of guards and then began to take people to patrol around the palace and arrange guards.

During the time that Yang Zhi was talking to Jun Huaiyu, Xiao Feng had already quietly knocked out a guard and infiltrated the harem, and after hearing Yang Zhi tell him that Lin Yue was now the emperor's Xinchang, he was ready to find someone to inquire.

As he walked along the road, he glanced around, ready to find a good target, and soon his target was locked on a group of palace maids whispering not far ahead.

He walked over and lowered his voice, "What are you all doing here?" ”

A little palace maid was so frightened by his tall figure and voice that she stammered: "Waiter, big brother guard." ”

The others were bolder than her, and a bold palace maid spoke: "The slaves and maids have not committed any crimes, don't arrest us, big brother guard." ”

"Don't worry, I won't arrest you, but I see that you don't do things one by one, what are you all talking about? Is there anything big going on in the palace? Xiao Feng asked in a softened tone.

He saw that the palace maid was frightened by him just now, and he didn't dare to speak fiercely, let alone ask Lin Yue directly, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others, he felt that it was better to break into the other party's interior first, and then inadvertently ask Lin Yue's whereabouts.

didn't expect him to hit the right one, Lin Yue is now a man of the year in the harem, and he asked casually.

The palace maid glanced at him, and when she saw that his eyes were a little curious, she said, "Don't hide it from the eldest brother of the guard, we are talking about Xin Chang's presence, don't say it." ”

"Happy? What's the matter with her? I'll hear it. "Isn't this Lin Yue? Xiao Feng instantly came to his senses.

Seeing that he also had some gossip, the palace maids were not afraid, and some people said disdainfully: "What, you still don't know about her?" She is now a celebrity in the harem, and she is the emperor's favorite concubine, if you don't even know her, you will be too lonely and unheard. ”

"That's it, you don't know anyone, you must take it to heart, but you can't look down on her and offend her because of her low status, otherwise you will feel good at that time."

Xiao Feng asked, "Listening to what you said, it seems that this Xin Chang is very scary, isn't she just a Chang Zai?" How favored can it be? ”

"Don't underestimate her, although she is not from a high background, she has defeated many concubines and obtained the emperor's favor, and the emperor even Sun Guiren directly entered the cold palace for her, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to her."

Hearing the word grace, Xiao Feng clenched his fists, and a wave of anger was suppressed in his heart.

mentioned that Xin Chang was there, everyone's topic opened up again, and another palace maid said: "Yes, if it weren't for the fact that Xin Chang was killed by Sun Guiren and was infected with wind and cold, I'm afraid that she will sleep again tonight, and maybe she will have to be promoted at that time." ”

Jealousy and anger rose and fell in his chest, Xiao Feng didn't speak, and listened silently.

"It's not, the emperor doesn't know how many cases he has broken for this Xinchang, even when she mentions General Xiao's affairs, she still respects General Xiao so much, the emperor is not angry with her, but just sprinkled this anger on the imperial concubine and Sun Guiren, which shows how much the emperor favors her."

"Shhh

"Yes, yes, yes." The palace maid who had just said Xiao Aofeng hurriedly covered her mouth.

After Xiao Feng heard Lin Yue respect him, the anger in his heart dissipated, and he couldn't wait to see Lin Yue immediately and ask her what had happened these days? Is she suffering?

He spoke, "Where does this Xinchang you mean lives in her?" ”
