Chapter Eighty-Eight: Shadow Guard

Concubine Ning and An Ruo took Gonggong Xu to the Qianqing Palace, but before they could enter, they heard the quarrel inside.

"This evidence is really timely, what else do you have to say?"

"Uncle Wang has become fast enough, not to mention whether these evidences are true or false has not yet been determined, just because I haven't abdicated yet, how can Uncle Wang dare to call you?"

"The son of a criminal concubine who was born of adultery, and he dares to call himself me, does this mean that the whole clan is blind? messing with my royal bloodline, naturally I can't be the emperor. ”

An Ruo and Concubine Ning glanced at each other and immediately understood that this evidence was indeed unfavorable to Wei Yan.

"Concubine Ning has arrived, and Concubine Ding has arrived."

An Ruo asked the eunuch to sing high, and followed Concubine Ning into the Qianqing Palace.

"In the deliberations of the previous dynasty, how could there be a reason for the harem to interfere in politics? Don't you hurry up and fork these two women out! ”

Concubine Ning sneered and scolded loudly: "This palace will see who dares!" Prince Rui's lesson that day, it seems that Prince Yong is not clear. How dare you despise women like this, why do you forget who gave birth to you? ”

This familiar sense of impact hit Prince Rui, and Prince Rui subconsciously wanted to retreat, and then he reacted, and now it was not himself who was targeted by Concubine Ning and An Ruo.

Prince Yong shook his hands, pointed at Concubine Ning, and scolded Wei Yan: "You just look at your woman here? Can you be named a concubine like this? is full of life, how to learn the female precepts and female training! ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this, after all, I know that I was indeed born to the first emperor and concubine. And the first emperor and concubine are now murdered in the harem, and this so-called evidence has been exposed, and it is difficult for me to believe the truth of this evidence. Moreover, the shadow guard has been loyal to the emperor since the Wei Dynasty, and I have never seen this one, isn't it a fake? ”

Shadow Guard snorted coldly and said, "Since I know that you are not orthodox, so Shadow Guard has never been loyal to you. ”

An Ruo interjected, "That's because you're loyal to someone else. After all, the emperor himself issued an edict to establish himself as the new emperor, whether the emperor is the bloodline of the first emperor, the first emperor knows best, why do you know the situation better than the first emperor? ”

Through the mask, An Ruo couldn't see the shadow guard's expression clearly, but from the obvious pause of the shadow guard, he could still see that the shadow guard seemed to be wrong.

"Yingwei is just in accordance with the instructions of the first emperor, after the death of the first emperor and concubine, this evidence will be revealed to the world, as for whether the emperor is a true dragon bloodline, the royal family has the final say, and the concubine does not need to say much."

The shadow guard said, arched his hand, and wanted to leave.

Concubine Ning scolded: "Slow, throw down this evidence that I don't know what to call and leave?" At least prove your identity first, right? ”

Ying Wei twisted his eyebrows and said: "When the minister came over just now, he had already identified himself with all the royal relatives of the clan, and even showed Ying Wei's jade pendant certificate, what questions does Concubine Ning have about it?" ”

An Ruo narrowed her eyes, grabbed Concubine Ning, who wanted to scare the shadow guard, and said, "The biggest question is, how do you know that this is Concubine Ning, and this palace is Concubine Ding?" After all, you have never been loyal to the emperor, let alone know about the harem concubines. ”

The shadow guard paused again, as if after thinking, before replying: "The eunuch just reported that it was Concubine Ning and Concubine Ding who entered the palace, and I heard that Concubine Ning was domineering, so I had this guess, could it be that I called the wrong person?" ”

An Ruo gave a thumbs up to Ying Wei, turned his head and smiled at Concubine Ning: "I didn't expect that my sister's prestige has spread far inside and outside the palace, and my sister is really out of reach." ”

Concubine Ning's eyes widened and asked, "Is this the time to care about this?" ”

"It's just a matter of lightening the mood."

An Ruo shrugged, looked at the shadow guard again, and said, "I want to say that I am the first emperor shadow guard with just a piece of jade pendant, who knows if this jade pendant is real or fake?" ”

When Prince Yong heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "This king can prove it. Although the shadow guard has always been under the direct command of the first emperor, and the main responsibility is also the safety of the first emperor, but the shadow guard goes out to do things, never shows his face, and shows this jade pendant. ”

All the imperial princes nodded in approval, and An Ruo said politely: "Since the first emperor can give you such important evidence, then I don't know if Your Excellency is the head of the shadow guard?" ”

"Naturally, it is."

"Oh, then presumably others don't know your voice and body shape, Gonggong Xu next to the first emperor should be familiar, why don't you let Gonggong Xu come and identify it?"

The shadow guard's figure instantly stiffened, and it seemed that he had only discovered that the person behind An Ruo and Concubine Ning was Gonggong Xu, and he subconsciously turned his body sideways, trying to avoid Gonggong Xu's gaze.

"Back to Concubine Niangniang's words, the jade pendant in this person's hand is indeed from the shadow guard, but the old slave has never seen this person, and the shadow guard chief in the first emperor's period should never be as young as he is now."

An Ruo curled the corners of her mouth, and she knew that there was something greasy in it.

"The old Shadow Guard has passed away, and before he died, he handed over the things and the instructions of the first emperor to me, so I am naturally the new Shadow Guard."

Gonggong Xu said: "That's really strange, the Shadow Guard has always been appointed by the emperor, and there has never been a self-inheritance. ”

An Ruo smiled and said: "It's not unusual, after all, the shadow guard has not reported to the emperor, so it's not strange to inherit it on its own." It's just that now this shadow guard is afraid that his surname is not Wei. ”

"Nonsense!"

After the shadow guard scolded, as if he couldn't control his temper, he rushed towards An Ruo, wanting to attack An Ruo.

But he didn't want to be halfway through, and was pressed on the spot by the guards arranged by Wei Yan in advance.

An Ruo, who was frightened, subconsciously looked behind him, fortunately, Xiao Zhan was still there.

"You're talking nonsense! Back then, the first emperor obviously checked the proof of the innocence of the concubine Niangniang, but how did it become the evidence of slander in your hands. Aren't you a thief sent by another country to disturb my Wei dynasty? ”

An Ruo, who has confidence, silently praised Gonggong Xu, worthy of being the great eunuch of the first emperor, and it is really good to focus on this scare.

Gonggong Xu's words made the Manchu Imperial Family whisper, and the eyes that looked at Ying Wei were also full of suspicion.

Ying Wei looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "Gonggong Xu is afraid that he has forgotten who is your real master, why, he betrayed the old master after being taken to the palace to enjoy the blessings for a few days?" ”

The shadow guard tore open his shirt violently, revealing the crescent-like mark on his chest, and asked, "Does Grandpa Xu really not know who I am?" ”

Gonggong Xu's body was shocked, he carefully looked at the mark on the shadow guard's body, pointed at the other party for a long time and couldn't speak, and sighed for a long time: "I didn't expect the old shadow guard to pass the position to you, it's just that, if it's you, it's understandable." ”

An Ruo tightened his brows, this shadow guard still has some hidden identity, but unfortunately Father-in-law Xu didn't want to say more, and he probably couldn't ask anything.

However, how did the person who was against Wei Yan today become Prince Yong, and Prince Xian was not there?

An Ruo beckoned to Wei Yan and asked in a low voice, "Where is Prince Xian?" ”

Wei Yan walked over for a moment, then took the person into his arms vigorously, and whispered, "What? Missed him? ”

Feeling the force on his shoulder, An Ruo immediately sneered: "How can it? It's really not curious to say that the emperor's relatives are all present, and he doesn't see anyone, so he subconsciously asks, after all, how can such a scene that is beneficial to him not appear, right? ”

"I see, that's a misunderstanding of Concubine Ding. He said that he was sick, and he was afraid that he would be sick, so he didn't come. If you still want to ask about the disease? Are people doing well now? ”

At an angle that Wei Yan couldn't see, An Ruo rolled his eyes when he looked up to the sky, this man was not much more careful than a woman.

"I don't care, I can't care about you, how can I care about him! Please, is this a good time to flirt? ”

Wei Yan twisted An Ruo's nose and whispered, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”
