The emperor saw Changning squatting down and peeling off half of Zheng Anhou's face and pasting it, putting on his mask, changing his clothes and leaving, and his panting finally calmed down.

It's as if some mission has been accomplished.

He slowly closed his eyes, and Zheng Anhou's bloody corpse was next to his bed.

The smell of blood mixed with the smell of urine on his bed, causing the Emperor to slowly curl the corners of his lips.

Even if he is embarrassed so far.

For the sake of monarchs and ministers, it was destined that Zheng Anhou would show off his might, and he would eventually prostrate at his feet.

He is always the winner of this game.

Forever.

Changning put three inches higher in his shoes, making his height similar to Zheng Anhou, and walked out of the hall in a grand manner.

Walking to a secluded place, she pulled off the mat that made her unable to move and threw it into the flower bed, and hurried to Tianyan Palace as fast as she could.

The father has always respected Tianyan Palace, and the third prince did not move Tianyan Palace for the time being in order not to make the ministers suspicious.

Although Dao Yan won the trust of the emperor, he did not have a bad relationship with the Zheng family except for his refusal to interfere in the matter of seizing the heir, when Yin Qiao asked to worship the spiritual seat of the former empress in the Dadao Palace, Dao Yan also opened the back door for Zheng Anhou, so Zheng Anhou did not think about putting Dao Yan to death.

They even thought about using Dao Yan to consolidate the throne of the three princes, but before the relevant plan could be implemented, Zheng Anhou had already died.

Even half of his face was peeled off by Changning.

Now the girl is wearing the half of the mask that belongs to Zheng Anhou, just like carrying Zheng Guifei herself, and everywhere she goes is unimpeded.

Tianyan Palace is very grandiose, it is a Taoist palace built by his father for three years, and it is also the place where the emperor usually cultivates.

However, at this time, the guards in the palace have long been chaotic, and most of them have been transferred to Weiyang Zhongcui, and the Queen Mother's Shoukang and Concubine Qin's Yanxi Palace are also heavily guarded, and the manpower left in Tianyan Palace is slightly insufficient.

Dao Yan and the little Taoist priests under him were all sitting in the lobby of Tianyan Palace, with the statue of Dao Zun in front of them, and they were chanting words in their mouths, obviously still doing morning classes.

Changning ordered the guards: "The defense of Zhongcui Palace is empty, you don't go to escort it, what are you doing guarding a stinky Taoist priest?" ”

The guards looked at each other, and the chief guard spoke: "The concubine said-"

Changning raised his hand and slapped him: "This is Niangniang's order, why don't you take your people out quickly?!" ”

The chief of the guard turned slightly pale.

He was the captain of the forbidden army, but he was beaten by an unofficial and nameless eunuch!

"Where's the token?" He snorted.

Changning raised his chin and pointed at his mask, and swaggered: "This is the token." ”

"You!" The chief guard was angry, but the deputy captain next to him grabbed him: "Captain......"

The chief guard glared at him angrily.

"Big brother, this person is not an ordinary eunuch, his mask was personally rewarded by the concubine Niangniang, I'm afraid it has a lot of origin, let's still ......"

The chief guard also remembered Yu Gang's words.

The masked manager Guan is a big celebrity in front of the concubine and the prince, even if he offends him Yu Gang, he can't offend the chief manager.

Of course, Yu Gang knew Zheng Anhou's identity before he would say such a thing.

The chief guard took a deep breath and could only admit it.

"Close!" He drank the order.

Changning showed a smile and was about to go in, when the chief guard snorted coldly: "I have to tell my lord, this palace is also a big man, Your Majesty calls him Immortal Chief, and what you called just now is only afraid that you have offended the one inside." ”

Without giving Changning a chance to speak, the head of the guard sneered and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Thinking that he had been guarding here for so many days, the seemingly ordinary old Taoist priest inside always made him, a soldier, feel afraid, and the manager just said wildly, scolding the people inside for being stinky Taoists, just afraid that he had offended the people inside.

So when he said this, it was just to remind the old Taoist priest inside.

Changning didn't care.

The guards over there closed the line, and walked without a trace, and she also stepped into the larger door.

Headed by Dao Yan, the little Taoist priests behind him were in a column of seven, sitting in seven columns with their eyes closed and chanting, as if they didn't notice that someone was coming.

Changning closed the door of the temple by himself.

There was a creak, and the moment the door of the temple closed, the chanting in the room also stopped abruptly.

The old Taoist priest at the head moved and stood up.

"Your Highness has finally arrived."

Changning raised his chin slightly, this Dao Yan really had some ability, and he didn't look back to know that the person who came was her, not Zheng Anhou.

"It is really not easy for His Highness to get to where he is today." Dao Yan spoke again and turned to face Changning.

Changning frowned slightly.

In this life, this seems to be the first time she has met Dao Yan, but the Dao Yan in front of her is completely different from the Dao Yan eight years later in her memory in her previous life.

Old.

That was her only impression.

The current Dao Yan is even older than the Dao Yan eight years later in his previous life, the skin on his face is loose and sagging, and the wrinkles are very deep, especially the seven or eight layers of folds on his forehead.

Could it be that the abnormality of aging not only happened to his father, but also to Dao Yan?

Changning was about to walk forward, but Dao Yan suddenly stretched out his hand to signal her to stop.

"Your Highness, please come here." Dao Yan stretched out his hand to the right, obviously not wanting Changning to break through the position of these little Daoists.

Changning, as he said, detoured from the left side.

During the detour, Changning saw that there was a wooden bowl in front of each little Taoist priest, and the bowl was empty.

But what was placed in front of Dao Yan was not a bowl.

It's a chessboard.

On the chessboard is an endgame, Changning swept it at a glance, and it can be seen that there are very few black and white children.

The fight was fierce.

Changning raised an eyebrow.

At this time, Dao Yan is still playing chess with others?

In her memory, Dao Yan seems to be her father's chess friend, and the two are playing against each other in addition to cultivating, but now that her father has been imprisoned for more than ten days, what is the use of Dao Yan putting the endgame here, can he still wait for his father to succeed?

Dao Yan didn't open his mouth to solve Changning's doubts, but found that she smiled and diverted the topic when she was paying attention to the chessboard: "Has Your Highness really learned the Mu family's mastery?" ”

This sentence is not what Changning wants to hear.

However, she didn't evade it, and nodded: "Yan Immortal Chang also knows something about the Mu family's peerless learning?" ”

Dao Yan chuckled.

"Your Highness smiled, the ancestors of the Mu family left the method of disguise under the floor tiles of the stargazing platform, and left it for those who are destined, I have the honor to see it and know a little bit about it."

Changning took a deep breath.

"So, you made Song Yisheng's head at the beginning."

Song Yisheng was beheaded by his father at that time, she saw his head with her own eyes, and she also checked the head, it was Song Yisheng who was right.

But later, Song Yisheng appeared inexplicably, obviously the head was fake.

There is a person who is proficient in disguise art who is helping his father to fake.

Now Dao Yan calmly admits that he has obtained the disguise method left by the ancestors of the Mu family under the floor tiles of the stargazing platform and left for those who are destined, and he thinks it is him.

"His Royal Highness is really smart, he knows the autumn in a leaf, and Dao Yan admires it." He complimented.

Changning didn't want to talk to him.

"Father said that if I come to you, I will know all the secrets."

Dao Yan nodded.

"Then what I want to know, I don't know how Song Yisheng survived."

Changning narrowed his eyes and asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "I want to know how I survived." ”
