The day before the blessing ceremony, Xiao Ji specially came to Xiangguo Temple, saying that he was here to inspect how the ceremony was prepared, but in fact, he came to find Master Ran.

The master of Ran pulled away and explained to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji will be suspicious of the clear explanation, and he can't find any flaws, but he always feels that it is too much of a coincidence.

The camera proposed to Xiaoji to resign from the post of prince's teacher, and he will leave the country in the near future.

Xiao Ji has been retained many times, but he has been rejected flawlessly.

Three days later, the blessing ceremony, the emperor led all the princes and princesses and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to attend, and the harem concubines, no one followed.

On this day, the people outside the Xiangguo Temple were boiling, the formation shook the sky, and the people on both sides of the road outside the temple rushed to watch.

The Emperor sat on the dragon ride, in a good mood, and also had leisure and affection for the people, always with a smile on his face.

The Buddha statue in the splendid hall of the temple towers into the sky, which makes people awe-inspired. On both sides, the flags are splendid, fluttering in the wind, the red sandalwood case is placed in a line, the golden tripod burns incense, hundreds of novices sue the scriptures in unison, the Buddha's voice is misty, the scene is grand, and the atmosphere is solemn.

Knowing that the marshal personally presided over the ceremony, the first seat of each courtyard of Xiangguo Temple was present, and Yan Li was invited to watch the ceremony, and Yan Ziyue pretended to be a little novice and mixed in the crowd.

The ceremony is higher than the previous regulations, according to the process of separation, one to fully demonstrate the majesty of the royal family, the second to show the grace of heaven and auspiciousness, and the third to pray for the blessing of the people and benefit the people, the merit is in the community.

Owl and piety incense three pillars, after the head of Li finished reading the will, the green incense into the golden tripod, three kowtows after the gift of heaven, receive auspicious, turn around and raise it to show everyone, everyone worships.

All the princes and princesses stepped forward to salute the incense in order, the prince came first, and the princess followed.

Yan Ziyue watched the ceremony go on, feeling bored, and left halfway.

Xiao Yan has already swept all the people present since he entered the hall, and finally locked Yan Ziyue in the little novice, I am afraid that I will miss today, I don't know if there is a chance, and now seeing that she is leaving, my heart has also followed.

Yan Li also retreated after Yan Ziyue left, and he wanted to go to find Yan Ziyue, but he happened to run into Lan Jia.

Lan Jia was in charge of the guards of this ceremony, and when he saw that he had left the ceremony, he deliberately stepped forward, pulled him aside, and agreed to see him at the old place in the evening.

Until the end of the ceremony, Xiao Yan didn't have a chance to find Yan Ziyue, and for this reason, his face was covered with a layer of frost.

At night, he went out.

When Zhan Li rushed to the old place he had agreed, Lan Jia was not there. After waiting for almost an hour, Lan Jia was late.

Lan Jia hesitated for a long time before asking who he was.

Zhan Li replied very frankly, but his true identity is inconvenient to say, he has no ill will towards Xiaoyaoguo, and regards Lan Jia as a confidant, hoping that he will not ask again.

Lan Jia thought about it again and again, and cherished his friendship with Zhan Li, so he told him that Xiao Ji was instructing him to secretly track down his identity, especially his dealings with anyone in the Loose Country. At the same time, Lan Jia also revealed to Zhan Lixiao Ji that he was also secretly investigating An Lu and all the princes.

After hearing this, he smiled slightly, looked at Lan Jia, and persuaded him from the bottom of his heart, just do everything but with his heart, be worthy of his heart, and have no regrets.

Lan Jia was very moved to listen to it, and talked with Yan Li, and had another discussion, and before Yan Li left, he finally said a few words to Lan Jia, which means that the emperor is suspicious by nature, and he may not be able to trust anyone 100%, so Lan Jia should also pay more attention and take care of himself.

On the way back, Lan Jia kept thinking about the words of Zhan Li, and after thinking about it for a long time, he slowly became enlightened.

Yan Ziyue lay on the table and waited for Yan Li to come back, waited a lot, but didn't see Yan Li, but waited for Xiao Yan.

Yan Ziyue was very surprised and said, "How did you find this place?"

Xiao Yan didn't answer, stepped in, sat down and poured himself a glass of water to drink, he was angry in his heart, guessing that she must be living in Xiangguo Temple, but Xiangguo Temple is not small, I have been looking for a long time, and for a moment I can't wait to raze the temple.

After a while, Xiao Yan's anger eased a little, and he looked at Yan Ziyue, who was looking at himself with his hands propped up on the table, and said, "Have you seen enough?"

"Stingy...", Yan Ziyue pouted.

Xiao Yan looked at Yan Ziyue like this, and his mood was inexplicably better.

"I'm just stingy, how's that"?

"It's up to you...", Yan Ziyue didn't have the heart to quarrel with Xiao Yan, she just thought that it was time to come back.

Xiao Yan saw that Yan Ziyue's heart was not on him, and he was a little disappointed.

"What are you going to do"? , Yan Ziyue glanced at the door, and looked at Xiao Yandao with one hand on her cheek.

Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to answer, and thought for a while: "When are you leaving?"

"I don't know, I'm at the mercy of my father-in-law."

"Tsuko is your father-in-law"? Hearing this, Xiao Yan asked, "Then you are very familiar with Master Ran, right?"

Yan Ziyue didn't bother to hide it, so she nodded directly and said, "Hmm...".

Xiao Yan received Yan Ziyue's affirmative reply, and then asked, "You are also very familiar with Mrs. Su."

"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue also nodded in agreement.

"Do you also know Master An Luyuan, is it because of him that you came to have a good time?"

Yan Ziyue didn't expect Xiao Yan's associative analysis to be so strong, so she must have been suspicious for a long time.

"Yes and no", Yan Ziyue deliberately gave a vague answer.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he was a little puzzled again.

At this time, Yan Li happened to have returned, and as soon as he entered the hospital, Yan Ziyue knew.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was also there, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Ziyue and didn't say anything, entered the house, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

"Father-in-law, why have you been gone for so long"?

"Hmm...", he drank his water, but his eyes swept towards the flames.

Xiao Yan didn't like to glance at himself like this, so he turned his face away, looked at Yan Ziyue and said, "Yue... I'm going back to the palace the day after tomorrow, can I see you again before I leave?"

"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue thought for a while and said, "I'll go find you tomorrow night."

"Well... I'll wait for you", Xiao Yan said and got up to leave.

"Wait...", Zhan Li said suddenly.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Zhan Li, and there was some unclear meaning in his eyes.

Yan Li smiled and said, "Nine Emperor Princes, why are you in a hurry to leave, it's better to sit down and have a good chat."

Xiao Yan stared at Yu Li for a long time, and then walked over and sat down.

Yan Ziyue was a little confused at first, but when she saw Xiao Yan sitting down, she also sat down at the table.

"Nine Emperor Princes, what kind of person do you think your father is?"

"What kind of person is my father, and what does it have to do with you?"

Tan Li heard that Xiao Yan's tone was not friendly, and knew that it was difficult to continue the conversation happily, so he said directly: "Nine Emperor Princes, for the sake of you being Yue'er's friend, I told you that your father is sending someone to secretly check on you, you should be careful."

Yan Ziyue was stunned, looked at Yan Li, and knew that he had never joked, since he said so, there must be such a thing, so he looked at Xiao Yan and said: "I believe that my father-in-law will not lie to you, you have to be careful."

Xiao Yan sounded like thunder, but his face was still very calm, and he naturally knew that there was no need to lie to himself, and when he heard Yan Ziyue's words of concern at this time, his heart was also a little warm, and he also showed a smile on his face and said: "I know...".

"Then you should go back early, be careful on the road."

Xiao Yan nodded after listening, looked at Yan Ziyue and said, "I'll leave first, you will definitely come tomorrow night, right?"

"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue nodded in response.

Xiao Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashed, and he turned to leave.

After Xiao Yan left, Yan Ziyue said to Yan Li: "Father-in-law, what do you say Yan should do?"

"He's much stronger than you think, you don't have to worry about him, he has his own way to solve it."

Yan Ziyue felt that Tan Li was right, but she was still a little uneasy.

"Let's get some rest," he said, getting up and walking towards the inner room.

Yan Ziyue also got up and followed, but she was still thinking about what Xiao Yan should do, and another thing was that she promised Xiaoping that she would help her rescue her sister Xiao An, but now Xiao An doesn't know where she is.

Xiao Yan couldn't sleep after he went back, so he summoned An Lu and them, and told them to find out as soon as possible the forces of Xiao Ji and the princes in the palace and inside and outside the government and the opposition, the more detailed the better.

After An Lu received his order, he became more and more happy, and seemed to have felt that the future days must be very exciting.

Xiaoji really not only arranged Lan Jia to secretly investigate, but also cronies, the secret guards directly under him, known as night owls, only operate in the dark and never show up. Last time, the dead soldiers sent by Taishi Zhong entered the palace to assassinate, and the night owl guards didn't notice it, so far they had been severely trained by the night owl, and in a fit of anger, they dug out one of the eyes of the night owl secret guard to show punishment.

Xiao Ji has been paying attention to An Lu and several princes since recently, and now he has received news from the night owl secret guard, although it is only a clue, but it is enough to make him suspicious of the princes.

After a night of thinking, Xiao Ji felt that he could not tolerate the disobedience of the princes, so he made up his mind to come up with a plan to test it while returning to the palace.

Early the next morning, General Manager Li sent someone to inform the Emperor that the next day he would inspect the homework, literary and martial arts of the princes, especially his views on this grand blessing ceremony.

Xiao Yan had already guessed a few points when he received the message, and the others were good to say, martial arts must not be compared, even if he pretended to be similar, it was okay to deceive others, but he might not be able to deceive Xiao Ji.

After some consideration, Xiao Ji had no choice but to let Xiaoping secretly prepare ice water for himself, covered the quilt in the bedroom and covered himself with sweat and jumped directly into the ice water to soak, endured the cold and biting water that could not invade his body, took away the last trace of temperature on the body surface, and sneezed several times in a row, and was stunned for half an hour.

Xiaoping looked at Xiao Yan's appearance, a little distressed, but in the end, he couldn't say anything, in what capacity did he say it, even if he said it, he would listen.

Seeing this, Zephyr's jaw almost dropped, and he went to tell An Lu.

An Lu and Nanshan happened to have dinner together, and after listening to Zephyr's words, they came to Xiaoyan's bedroom, and when they saw that it was exactly as Zephyr said, the three of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yan's cultivation kung fu was already cold, and his body was still cooler than ordinary people, at this time, his thin lips were already black, his eyebrows and hair tips were condensed into frost, he glanced at the three of them, and waved his hand to retreat.

The three of them were ordered to retreat.
