Probably because of Luan Jingyi's identity, everything went smoothly on the way back to the imperial capital.

Gu Nanqin also casually told Luan Jingyi about the last time he was stationed in Niu Village, Luan Jingyi was just silent for a long time, then nodded and said that he would deal with it.

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Gu Nanqin always felt that this person's face was a little weird. Like ...... In anger.

"It's not hurt anyway, I don't care, what are you worried about?" Gu Nanqin suddenly smiled.

Luan Jingyi, the party, was stunned: "Bear it...... Heart? ”

Gu Nanqin's old face turned red: "Ah, I made a mistake." "It's kind of self-inflicted.

However, with his words, he was finally happy.

It's just that......

Early one morning, a few people who had settled in the lakeside inn watched Gu Nanqin, who got up early, pacing alone by the lake.

Luan Jingyi wanted to step forward and greet him politely, but Dong Wen next to him stopped him: "It's cold this morning, why don't you eat some breakfast to pad your stomach first?" ”

With such a straightforward barricade of words, Luan Jingyi narrowed his eyes, seeing that the man by the lake seemed to be talking to the guards, so he had to stop thinking of stepping forward to disturb.

And at this moment, Gu Nanqin didn't notice the situation on Dong Wen's side at all, just looked at Xiao Zi'an lazily in the sun, just waiting for his answer.

But Xiao Zi'an didn't answer for a long time, because Gu Nanqin asked about the "secret decree of the first emperor".

Before the death of the first emperor, he made a secret decree.

No one knows what it is, not even where it went. It's just that there are occasional rumors that the first emperor asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone before he died, but when people went to clean it later, they saw that the pen and ink had been moved, but they never saw any paper left.

Even the silk cloth for the secret decree was missing, which caused everyone to talk about it.

At that time, King Xiaoming was still preparing to dig out this secret decree to see if there was a succession or a change in the court, but strangely, no one knew where the secret decree had gone.

The little eunuchs who served the first emperor didn't know, even Gu Nanqin didn't know.

At that time, Gu Nanqin was also curious about what this secret decree was, but later, since even the imperial uncle didn't find out, he didn't take it to heart: Is it a fictitious thing to keep it up?

But what should have been sunk into the sea slowly resurfaced from Gu Nanqin's heart during this period of time.

Xiao Zi'an is actually the candidate for the guards appointed by his father and mother, and there is no obstacle in and out of the palace, not to mention the days when his father is sick, no one cares about going in and out.

If he had taken the secret decree...... It's really possible that it won't be visible to anyone.

“…… Just because, Zi'an's title to the princess has changed? The princess began to suspect that Zi'an had received the secret decree? Xiao Zi'an lowered his eyes, Gu Nanqin couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear the helplessness in his tone.

"Hmm. I didn't care about it before, thinking that the title was just for others. Thinking about it later, this change of title began after the death of my father. Gu Nanqin's eyes looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression, "...... So, what is written on that secret decree? Why do you want to change your name? If I'm not mistaken......"

"Princess!" Xiao Zi'an had already covered Gu Nanqin's mouth regardless of humility, his eyes full of panic.

Gu Nanqin glanced at him, as if a stone had hit the ground in his heart. The father left a secret decree but only gave Xiao Zi'an one person, and he didn't even mention a word to Gu Nanqin, who served at the sickbed. But I am afraid that this holy decree will be ......

Xiao Zi'an's eyes changed, and Gu Nanqin's heart sank-

It seems that the holy decree really reads: Abolish Yongjia.

……

Luan Jingyi waited left and right, but what was waiting was Xiao Zi'an walking heavily, carrying Gu Nanqin, who was already unconscious, back to the carriage.

"What's wrong with her? But it's frozen? I remember that there was a medical hall at the city gate when I came...... "Luan Jingyi panicked, for fear that something would happen to this princess on the way he escorted."

"She's just...... Fell asleep. Xiao Zi'an said calmly, carefully put the princess on the chaise longue, and then instructed Qingqi, "The princess got up too early and is a little sleepy, you can greet her." ”

Qingqi didn't notice anything unusual at all, but responded gently.

Hearing that she was just asleep, Luan Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zi'an and Dong Wen sat back in the driver's position, Dong Wen just glanced at him: "You can go to the imperial capital before evening, will you go back to the palace directly or ...... then?"

"Go back to the palace." Xiao Zi'an replied very simply.

Dongwen looked at him a little strangely, and didn't speak again.

Xiao Zi'an's eyes were heavy, driving the carriage and horse with one hand, but his mind was very far away.

Until he arrived at the palace gate, Gu Nanqin was not awake.

Luan Jingyi sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to get on the carriage to find out, but was unceremoniously blocked by Xiao Zi'an on the grounds that "men and women do not kiss".

But Qingqi on the carriage looked left and right, except for sleeping soundly, she really didn't feel anything unusual about the princess, so she honestly replied to Luan Jingyi.

Luan Jingyi looked at her at the door of the carriage twice, and didn't seem to think there was a problem, so he watched Xiao Zi'an carry her and leave.

Can...... In my heart, I always felt that something was wrong.

Dong Wen looked deeply at Xiao Zi'an, who was carrying Gu Nanqin, but the latter didn't react at all—or rather, ignored him at all.

Because Gu Nanqin didn't leave the palace with great fanfare, not many people knew about returning to the palace at this moment, let alone anyone came to greet him, so the three of them stepped on the pale snow so deeply and shallowly, and carried Gu Nanqin, who was sleeping groggily, back to the princess hall.

It wasn't until he put Gu Nanqin back on the bed that Xiao Zi'an seemed to be relieved.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Seeing that she was unconscious, Ying Sleeve asked Xiao Zi'an with some concern.

Xiao Zi'an just smiled: "During this time, the carriage and horses are tired, and it is normal to sleep more." ”

"But the princess hasn't woken up all day, do you want to find a doctor?" Qingqi was still a little uneasy, and Yingsleeve also echoed: "Yes, the carriage and horses are tired all the way, in case you are tired, you will have a good ......."

"That's okay, the princess is delicate, it's better to be safe." Surprisingly, Xiao Zi'an did not object this time, but looked calm, "I'm also tired, go back and rest for a while." Dongwen, you are guarding the door, except for the doctor, no one else should come in and disturb you. …… Well, Yingsleeve, you go and inform Your Majesty, and say that the princess is tired, rest well, and go to say hello tomorrow. ”

Yingsleeve nodded earnestly, trotted all the way and left.

Xiao Zi'an didn't stay long, just stretched out his arms and legs, and then went to the guards' resting place, as if he was really tired.

Dong Wen looked at him calmly and calmly leaving, and he was also puzzled in his heart: Could it be that he was really too careful?
