When Ye Qianhuai came out of the dormitory, it was already completely night.

After closing the temple door, she stood in the doorway and sighed softly.

Lu Yanchen insisted on resigning as emperor and returning to Taiqing Pavilion as a bachelor compiling classics. He has made up his mind, and he is stubborn, Ye Tianhuai knows that he can't persuade him.

The moment he closed the door, Ye Tianhuai suddenly felt very lonely.

In this splendid palace, she was surrounded by people who relied on her, but there was no one she could rely on.

She has no parents or elders to ask for advice, Lu Yanchen is her teacher and her only reliance, in the past, she was always the first to think of Lu Yanchen when she was indecided.

But now she has lost even this only support.

From then on, the sky above her head could only be supported by herself.

"Your Majesty, it's past day, it's time for dinner." Li Baoquan's voice came from behind Ye Qianhuai.

Ye Qianhuai turned his head, glanced at Li Baoquan with a complicated expression, and said, "Li Baoquan, you come to the cloth." ”

——

"You all go down, it's enough to leave Li Baoquan alone." Ye Tianhuai commanded at the dining table.

The maidservants of the house answered, and Yuguan withdrew from the house and closed the door.

Li Baoquan quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Qianhuai, and when he saw that her face was as usual, he lowered his head again and waited aside.

"How is Chu Dingguo's side?" Ye Qianhuai asked without raising his head while stirring the balls in the bowl with a spoon.

"It's all ordered, and the guards on duty tonight at the guard post have also been transferred, and General Chu shouldn't encounter obstacles when he goes to worship." Li Baoquan replied.

Ye Tianhuai nodded and said, "You have always done things safely. ”

There was silence between the two for a while, and Ye Tianhuai took out the gold medal of Emperor Shunping from his arms and put it on the table.

"Have you ever seen this?"

Li Bao flashed a trace of surprise across the board, as if he had thought of something, but he quickly covered it up.

"I haven't seen it. It seems that it should be a gold medal made during the reign of the first emperor. Li Baoquan replied.

"What else?"

Li Baoquan was silent for a long time and said, "The old slave doesn't know. ”

Ye Tianhuai raised his head and looked at Li Baoquan, he hung his head, looking calm, without a trace of panic.

Li Baoquan's mouth was very strict, Ye Tianhuai knew it, and his reaction was also expected by Ye Tianhuai.

"Why do you want to pass the message to Lu Yanchen? Is there any relationship between Gonggong Li and Mr. Lu? Ye Tianhuai asked straightforwardly.

Li Baoquan's eyes swept over the gold medal, and then replied: "Because of the last words left by the first emperor to the old slave before his death." The first emperor said that if it was really a last resort, he could go to Mr. Lu. ”

Li Baoquan grew up with Emperor Shunping, the little eunuch who grew up with Emperor Shunping, and the relationship between Emperor Shunping and him is very incomparable. Until he died, he only let Li Baoquan wait in front of the bed.

"What's a last resort?" Ye Qianhuai asked thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty didn't let the slave follow him when he left the palace that day, the slave was really worried, and he couldn't think of any other way, so he asked someone to report to Mr. Lu."

"Was that the first time you were looking for Lu Yanchen?"

Li Baoquan nodded: "Yes." The minion had never spoken a word to Mr. Lu before. ”

This is the same rhetoric as Lu Yanchen.

Ye Qian pondered for a long time and asked, "Didn't the first emperor say why he asked you to go to Mr. Lu?" ”

"Nope."

Emperor Shunping's inexplicable operation made Ye Tianhuai puzzled, and that outrageous thought popped up in her mind again.

Lu Yanchen can't be his father's bloodline, right?

She stroked the corner of her forehead, feeling a little headache.

Looking at Ye Tianhuai's distressed appearance, Li Baoquan said: "Your Majesty, the slave has a guess, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Ye Tianhuai rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "Say it." ”

"The first emperor once had a secret guard, and the slave guessed that maybe His Majesty handed over this secret guard to Mr. Lu, so he gave such orders to the slave."

"You're talking about the Eagle Guard?"

Hearing this name, Li Baoquan was a little surprised, and said, "Your Majesty knows?" ”

Ye Tianhuai pushed the gold medal in front of him and said, "Since you know the Eagle Guard, don't you know this?" ”

Li Baoquan shook his head a little confused.

"This is a token that can command the Eagle Guard."

"That's really the ......case," Li Baoquan muttered to himself, he came back to his senses and asked Ye Qianhuai in surprise, "Your Majesty got this thing from Mr. Lu?" ”

"Yes."

Li Baoquan looked at the gold medal, his face suddenly became excited, as if he wanted to say a lot, and finally he raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave said something that should not be said." Mr. Lu really poured out his heart and lungs to you, and he had nothing to say. ”

He was so excited, but it was beyond Ye Tianhuai's expectations. Ye Tianhuai couldn't help asking, "Why did Gonggong Li say this?" ”

"Your Majesty may not know about the Eagle Guard. The minion told you so, even if Your Majesty let them assassinate the lord of a country, it is not impossible. ”

After speaking, he muttered again: "Fortunately, the first emperor handed it over to Mr. Lu." If it is handed over to someone else, the minion really can't even think of it......"

Li Baoquan is cautious by nature, and he can say such things, which shows that Eagle Guard should indeed be so capable.

When he said this, Ye Tianhuai was also a little afraid.

If someone with a heart was allowed to get this gold medal, maybe she would have been in a different place.

From this point of view, Lu Yanchen can hand over this gold medal to her without hesitation, which is indeed loyal.

"How did you find out about the Eagle Guard?" Ye Qianhuai remembered the entrustment that Lu Yanchen asked her to come to Li Baoquan with the gold medal when she was endangered, and asked.

"The minions have not actually come into contact with the Eagle Guard, but the Eagle Guard's monthly expenses are all taken from the account of the inner court, from the early years of Shunping to the present, there has never been a hand from someone else for so many years, and the minions are in charge of it themselves."

"Monthly expenses? What does Garuda indo? ”

"The minions don't know exactly what the eagleguard is spending, it's not the minions' business. The minions are only responsible for delivering the money on time every month. ”

Ye Tianhuai frowned: "Where will you send the money?" ”

Li Baoquan pondered and said, "Zhaowu Street, Baofeng Qianzhuang." ”

Zhaowu Street is in the east district of Shangsanfang, and Baofeng Qianzhuang is also a famous Daqian Zhuang in Dajing, and there are semicolons in many places.

"How much do you want to give away each month?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver a month."

"One hundred thousand taels?!" Ye Tianhuai blurted out, and she looked at Li Baoquan in amazement.

"One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver a year?" Ye Qianhuai confirmed again.

"Yes."

Ye Tianhuai pinched the corners of his forehead.

Now not only does she have a headache, she feels like she hurts all over her body.
