"Is Jade Pei coming back?" The prime minister calmly took a sip of tea and asked. Seeing An Ruiqi silently put the jade pendant on the case, he nodded with satisfaction, and then took out the jade pendant that should have been in Ning Xue's hand from his arms and placed it next to another jade pendant. The prime minister stared at the two jade pendants and sighed: "The jade pendant is the same as the first time I saw it, but the old man has already driven the crane west, which is really embarrassing." When I saw my best friend's token again more than ten years later, the prime minister's eyes couldn't help but moisten. Over the years, he has worked tirelessly to plan everything, even at the expense of his beloved, in order to fulfill his deathbed request. Although he can't do everything as he wants, he finally has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, which is enough to force the current emperor to submit. "The opportunity is fleeting. Have you really figured it out? The prime minister looked at An Ruiqi and asked solemnly.

"Ruiqi is a shallow learner, and he is by no means a talent for governing the country, please forgive me." An Ruiqi replied with a surprisingly calm tone.

The prime minister looked at the expression on An Ruiqi's face, and for a long time, he still couldn't figure out his thoughts, so he had to give up. Since he didn't want to, barely helped. As long as he can successfully retrieve the military power and territory that originally belonged to him, if he intends to ascend to the throne in the future, why not worry. Now that the army is uncertain, it is better to end this matter as soon as possible. Thinking of this, the prime minister nodded kindly and said, "It's getting late, quickly put away the jade pendant and go back to rest." ”

After An Ruiqi bowed to the prime minister, he left slowly.

Seeing An Ruiqi walking away, the prime minister's face sank, and he asked the leader, "Is Miss Ning okay in prison?" ”

The leader's heart trembled after hearing this, and he bowed his head and bent down and replied: "There are officials guarding day and night, and subordinates have no way to start. ”

"When did the Shadow Guard become so poor? I can't help but be a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken. The prime minister rebuked in a low voice.

"The master and Miss Ning have broken off their friendship, please show mercy to your subordinates, so that the master will not find out about this and be disgusted with the adults." The leader fell to his knees and begged.

"Is that true?" The prime minister asked with a sharp gaze at the leader.

"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes." The leader swore by the sky.

"Seeing may not be believing, wait until the old man goes to meet the girl before making a final decision." After speaking, the prime minister leaned on the back of his chair and looked tired.

Since learning of his origins, An Ruiqi has become silent, and his unusual behavior tonight has caused the leader to be worried. After bidding farewell to the prime minister, he deliberately detoured to An Ruiqi's room, and when he saw that there was still a lamp inside, he knocked on the door and asked to enter. After waiting for a long time, there was no response from An Ruiqi, so the leader had to quietly push open the door and peek in to see what was going on. I saw An Ruiqi holding his chin with his hand, his eyes resting on the scroll in front of him, motionless, and he could see that he was in a god. The bright candlelight illuminated the pair of jade pendants in his hand moist and transparent, and the shadows cast on his face swayed in the wind, making his low, quiet dark eyes look extraordinarily deep.

Seeing this, the leader stood silently outside the door, not daring to disturb.

It wasn't until the moon set and the stars sank that an inch of white light appeared in the sky that An Ruiqi raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

After hearing this, the leader walked quickly into the room and persuaded, "Master, please take care of yourself. ”

Hearing this, An Ruiqi smiled shallowly.

According to the prime minister, An Ruiqi is actually the daughter of the previous imperial concubine. And the father of this imperial concubine is a well-known protector. If it is said that there is still a person who is afraid of the Rong clan who is in power, then this person is none other than the protector of the country. It is because of his ancestors' outstanding achievements and unparalleled loyalty, so he was awarded the hereditary position of the protector of the country. Since then, it has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from generation to generation, thousands of acres of fertile land, and has been honored and favored. Until the hegemony of the Rong clan, the heavens were angry and resentful, the people were not happy, and the generals under the command of the protector began to move. At that time, the reigning protector had no desire to fight for power, so he sent one of his daughters to the palace, hoping to stabilize the army's morale through marriage with the royal family. I didn't want my palm pearl to enter the palace less than a year later, and I was poisoned, and I died. The protector endured his grief and thoroughly investigated the cause of his death, and found that it was actually committed by the Rong family. Hatred made the protector lose his usual composure, and under the instigation of his subordinates, he ignored the legacy of his ancestors, intending to rise up and purge the Rong clan. Fortunately, his other daughter desperately blocked it, and a bloody storm was quelled. Hearing the news of her sister's death, the daughter regretted it, her sister was gentle and quiet, how could she be able to defeat the ruthless Queen Rong, if she hadn't had a marriage contract with someone earlier, she wouldn't have let her sister take risks. In order to maintain the stability of the court and fulfill her sister's unfulfilled wish, the daughter said goodbye to her lover with tears and resolutely entered the palace. The daughter of the protector of the country was born noble, known as a talented woman, kind, generous and helpful, and won the hearts of the people. The first emperor felt that he owed her, and respected her open-mindedness, and soon after she entered the palace, he gave her the position of imperial concubine. Subsequently, the ministers led by the Duke of Protector repeatedly advised the emperor to change the imperial concubine Niangniang as the queen, but they have not been able to do so because of the obstruction of the Rong family. The imperial concubine is wise, strategic, and growing in power in the palace, and within a year, she will be able to share with the queen equally. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, since the imperial concubine Niangniang was pregnant with the dragon, she had no time to take care of fighting with the queen, because of her weak body and exhaustion, on the day of the birth of Lin'er, she returned to heaven. The protector lost his beloved daughter one after another, and he was sad all day long, and finally he couldn't afford to get sick. Since the protector had no children under his knees, he was afraid that his military rights would be swallowed by the Rong clan, so he dedicated all of them to the first emperor before he died. The first emperor was grateful for his loyalty and promised that when the imperial concubine and concubine became adults, they would definitely return to Zhao. As the only surviving bloodline of the imperial concubine, An Ruiqi now wants to take back the military power and territory, which is justified. As for why he lived for more than 20 years as Second Young Master An in the Marshal's Mansion, this is a later story.

"The first imperial concubine Niangniang sacrificed herself to protect the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, and I implore the master to also focus on the overall situation, and don't miss a major event for the sake of the children's personal feelings." The leader plucked up courage and said.

An Ruiqi smiled even deeper after hearing this, and said leisurely: "This is not what it used to be. Now that I am a prince, how can a little girl climb high? But you, when you see this king, you dare not kneel, don't you treat this king as nothing! ”

The leader was so shocked by An Ruiqi's sudden murderous aura that he couldn't move, and stood in place in a daze, his clothes on his back wet. At the beginning of the morning, the leader finally waited for An Ruiqi to "retreat" and left in a hurry, and every time he recalled the scene at that time, he inevitably had palpitations.
