The Emperor sat up straight, "How can you see that?"

"It's not a day or two for subordinates to take refuge in Pingyang Mansion, if the emperor really has murderous intentions, why wait until now. When he was in Pingyang Mansion, the emperor could make his subordinates' heads fall to the ground with a holy decree; if the emperor didn't feel at ease about keeping Chen Jian by his side, when his subordinates ran for the Praetorian Guard, the emperor could also make his subordinates unable to advance, or simply cancel the qualifications of his subordinates, and it would be done once and for all. Therefore, since the subordinates entered the Praetorian Guard so smoothly and came to the emperor's side, they must have acquiesced to the emperor. Jian Chen was not in a hurry, his eyes were looking directly at the emperor, and he had no intention of retreating.

Jian Chen's words made the emperor's expression a little embarrassed, "Don't you know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger?

"I believe that the emperor is the emperor today, and he is definitely not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, otherwise there will be no loyal ministers like Lord Lu who are loyal to the master. ”

This sentence is clearly praising the emperor, but in fact, it is telling the emperor that if he kills himself, he will hurt the hearts of his loyal ministers.

The emperor couldn't hear the meaning of this, but instead of scolding Jian Chen for his unreasonableness, he waved his hand and motioned for the guards to stand down.

"Well-founded, well said. Unexpectedly, Lu Qingsong's guards not only had superb martial arts, but also good eloquence. ”

The Emperor bowed his head and opened the notebook, "You two go down." ”

Chen Jian and Dong Tianlei kowtowed, lowered their heads and slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

When the emperor saw the two of them going out, he raised his head and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Dong Tianlei outside the door, for a while, just now, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.

Seeing Chen Jian and Dong Tianlei going out, Yan Songhe, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, stepped forward, "Dong Tianlei, you are keeping vigil outside the emperor's imperial study today. ”

Dong Tianlei nodded silently and stood outside the door of the imperial study, and then he glanced at Jian Chen with a playful look.

Yan Songhe glanced at Jian Chen and said coldly, "You come with me." ”

Yan Songhe took Chen Jian to walk in the palace for a long time, and Chen Jian also enjoyed the scenery of the palace in the midst of the twists and turns.

Golden glaze, vermilion lacquer cloisters can be seen everywhere, a hundred flowers bloom, the competition for beauty also dazzles Chen Jian's eyes, around, from time to time there are maid guards shuttling, all in a hurry, occasionally see a few women who look like masters, in the pavilions and pavilions, enjoy flowers and tea.

Jian Chen raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and took a deep breath.

How long has it been since you stopped to pay attention to the scenery around you?

Soon, Yan Songhe stopped.

"You're here tonight. Yan Songhe stood still.

Chen Jian raised his head, he was standing at the door of a manor, and on the plaque outside the door, the words "Qingyuan Palace" came into view.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must not leave here!" Yan Songhe stared at Jian Chen, his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning.

Jian Chen nodded and straightened up.

Yan Songhe smiled and turned to leave.

Here, it seems to be an abandoned place, the manor is overgrown with weeds, and there is no place to stay, and the vines on the wall are climbing wantonly, and they have taken the whole manor into their arms, a piece of greenery.

Looking at the dusty plaque, Jian Chen was puzzled.

What kind of place is this, that there is such a desolate place in the palace?

After standing for a day, Jian Chen only saw a few birds landing on the steps outside the door, rummaging through the chaos to eat, but other than that, he didn't even see a single figure.

This strange errand is estimated to be due to Dong Quan, and Jian Chen remembered Dong Tianlei's eyes when he looked at him.

Anyway, he originally agreed to enter the palace because he didn't want to brush off Lu Qingsong's kindness, but now he is happy to be quiet with such an errand for himself.

The night was deep, and the entire palace had fallen into silence, and Qingyuan Palace was even more so.

Looking at the darkness in the manor, Jian Chen moved his body, lifted his spirits, and continued to maintain a standing posture.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden flute sound in Qingyuan Palace.

The sound of the flute is mournful and quiet, which makes people turn around and turn their intestines, and in this lonely night, people are frightened to hear it.

What's more, in the sound of the flute, there was a faint cry.

Jian Chen set his eyes on the manor, which seemed unusually dark in the night, and was suspicious in his heart.

Unexpectedly, in the manor, a woman in white with loose hair appeared.

The woman's face was thin, her face was bloodless, her eyes were scattered, she just looked at Jian Chen in a daze, and then she fluttered towards Jian Chen.

Jian Chen was shocked, how could a woman appear here in the middle of the night?

He fixed his mind, "Who is coming?"

When the woman saw Jian Chen open her mouth to ask her, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting.

Seeing that the woman didn't speak, Jian Chen took a step back and said, "The palace is forbidden, and I hope to leave quickly." ”

The woman still didn't speak, just looked at him with a blank face.

Jian Chen wondered, what did this girl do when she came out in the middle of the night?

The woman's eyes widened, and she whispered in his ear, "I'm from this Qingyuan Palace, are you waiting for me here?"

The woman blew like an orchid, swaying a little cool.

Jian Chen hugged his fists and said, "The girl said with a smile, I am keeping vigil here." ”

"There's no one here to keep a vigil at night, because—" the woman looked around, "there was no one here a long time ago, no, nothing—unless—"

"Wronged soul!" the woman suddenly raised her hands and stuck out her blood-red tongue.

"Since there is no one, then I will guard the unjust soul here, and don't let him go out and disturb others. This strange scene not only made Chen Jian panic, but on the contrary, a smile appeared on his face.

Pretend to be a ghost!

Seeing Jian Chen smiling and looking at herself, her expression unchanged, the woman was startled, and changed her face in a blink of an eye, "It's not fun at all!"

Suddenly, the originally deep Qingyuan Palace was bright and bright, and I don't know when, many palace maids and eunuchs holding palace lamps came up from all sides.

As soon as Jian Chen saw this posture, he knew that someone was playing tricks, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a boring little trick in this palace.

The woman saw that Jian Chen hadn't even moved her footsteps, with a look of disdain, and her heart was displeased.

But soon, the woman laughed. She stepped forward lightly and approached Jian Chen's face, "It turns out that you are still quite good-looking." ”

Jian Chen's ears were red by this woman's actions, "The girl has self-respect." ”

The palace maid beside her said sharply, "Be bold guards, don't be rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Chen Jian was stunned.

She's a princess?

The princess glanced at him, "You're funny, I remember." She put her hand on Jian Chen's shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll come to you again, you wait for me-"

The princess left Jian Chen, who looked surprised, and left surrounded by a bunch of eunuchs and palace maids.

Seeing the silence and darkness repeating around him, Jian Chen, who was stunned, had not yet eased up.

He has been in Pingyang Mansion for almost a year, but he seems to have never heard of such a princess in the palace, who behaves strangely and does not care about the difference between men and women.

It is estimated that she is another overly pampered princess. Jian Chen shook his head and sighed.

Seeing that Qingyuan Palace finally calmed down again after some commotion, Jian Chen tightened his clothes, slowly calmed down, and set his eyes on Qingyuan Palace again.

Obviously no one came in or out during the day, so when did the princess go in?

Jian Chen looked at the manor, puzzled.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared on the window of the manor.

Chen Jian rubbed his eyes, looked carefully again, and found that the window was still the same, and there was no shadow just now.

Just as he was blaming himself for being confused by the princess, Jian Chen suddenly caught a glimpse of a red shadow on the steps of the manor.

That shadow, like a phoenix, slowly vibrated its wings in front of Jian Chen.

Jian Chen drew his saber and took a step forward.

"Who is it?"

The red creature that looked like a phoenix just looked at Jian Chen in a daze, still waving its huge wings in place.

"Princess, stop playing! Jian Chen shouted loudly.

There was no one around, and even the wind seemed to be still.

Jian Chen was stunned, couldn't it be that the princess made a ghost.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the phoenix.

However, in the blink of an eye, the phoenix turned into a red light and disappeared without a trace.

What is going on? Jian Chen was completely distracted, staring blankly at the place where the phoenix had disappeared.

In Qingyuan Palace, where the vines were messy, there was a black-clothed masked man, who was smiling and looking at Jian Chen who was in a daze outside the door.

The corners of his mouth raised a strange smile.

The sky was slightly bright, and Yan Songhe came to find Jian Chen.

"Jian Chen, wasn't it lonely last night," Yan Songhe seemed to smile.

"Why did Lord Yan say this?" As soon as Jian Chen finished asking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Could it be that Lord Yan specially arranged it last night?"

Yan Songhe smiled, "How dare I act like this in the palace, these are all tricks played by the princess." ”

Chen Jian said, "The position of the Praetorian Guard, how can it be such a child's play!"

Yan Songhe was very disdainful, "I have already said that in the palace, the holy order is supreme!"

Chen Jian was unhappy in his heart, "Even if it is a holy order, you can't ignore the system and etiquette like this. ”

Yan Songhe saw Chen Jian's righteous words on his face, and put away his smile, "The system and etiquette are originally determined by the royal family, and the Praetorian Guards also serve the emperor, why not be sent by the emperor!"

"If the law-maker doesn't abide by the law, how can he convince others?" Jian Chen suddenly lost his temper, and the phoenix he saw last night made him feel distraught.

"What an impartial and law-abiding guard. While the two were talking, the Emperor paced from a distance.

Seeing the emperor coming this way, Yan Songhe hurriedly pulled Chen Jian to his knees.

The emperor glanced at Jian Chen, "Little guard, your tone is not small! dare to talk about royal affairs!"

Yan Songhe hurriedly said, "Chen Jian has just arrived, and he doesn't understand the rules, so I ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

Jian Chen lowered his head and did not make a sound.

The emperor was very unhappy, turned his back and went, "Give me a slap!"

A few eunuchs came up, grabbed Jian Chen and slapped him.

Jian Chen didn't say a word, just looked at the emperor stubbornly.

Yan Songhe looked at Jian Chen and frowned.

The emperor looked at Jian Chen's unflinching eyes and said angrily, "This is not a reckless place for your rivers and lakes, here, what I say is higher than all the law. This time the small punishment is a big commandment, and the next time you commit it again, you will not be spared!"

A group of eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly followed.

Waiting for the emperor to walk away, Yan Songhe pulled up Jian Chen, "I warned you a long time ago, the first day was like this, and your life will not be easy in the future." ”

Chen Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Jian Chen just said what he had to say, as for whether the emperor approves or not, Jian Chen has no right to ask." ”

Yan Songhe shook his head when he saw that Jian Chen was stubborn, "You better stay here tonight." ”

He leaned closer to Chen Jian and said, "This Qingyuan Palace is where the abandoned concubines of the former emperor lived, and in it, many concubines died, of course, many of them died unjustly. Here, sometimes strange things happen in the middle of the night, such as someone will hear a woman's cry, someone will see a shadow in the window, and some people will even see something that does not look like a human ghost or a ghost. Therefore, the people in the palace are taboo here, and some guards will not come here to guard if they have a way. But don't worry, as long as you stand your own post and turn a blind eye to those things. ”

"Those cries or something, didn't the princess do it on purpose?" Jian Chen remembered what the princess had teased herself last night.

"It's hard to say, some of them were arranged by our bold princess who didn't believe in evil, and some of them were real. ”

Jian Chen thought for a while and said, "The emperor sent me here, but he still doesn't trust me. ”

Yan Songhe said, "Take your time, after all, your identity is embarrassing, and the emperor is always not at ease." But since the emperor can come here today, it means that the emperor still pays more attention to you. ”

Chen Jian smiled, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to be noticed by the emperor. He remembered Lu Qingsong's intention to let him apply for the Praetorian Guard, but it seemed that it would not work.
