I'm back

After all, the palace is no better than the imperial palace, and this suspected assassination happened again. The Yulin army surrounded the palace where Yan Qin slept, and they would rush in whenever the emperor made any abnormal movements.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yan Qin did not allow the regent to sleep on the same bed as himself, but it was not far off. He asked someone to move a soft couch for the regent to sleep alone, and placed them side by side in front of his big bed. , the dragon curtain was torn, and he still slept with his face up to the sky, and he slept in a regular manner, but as long as he turned his face slightly, he could see the regent who was less than three feet away from him at a glance.

In addition, Yan Qin also put a dagger under his pillow, the iron was cut like mud, and a large sapphire was inlaid on the scabbard, which was the dowry brought by the "Queen" from the Prince Regent's Palace.

The treasure that once saved the life of the Regent is now his amulet.Contrary to what the steward of the regent thought, Yan Qin didn't think there was anything dangerous about this thing.

Blessed are things that can save lives. He put this thing under his pillow to ward off evil spirits and reassure him.

It may be because the regent is sleeping next to him, or it may be because of the effect of this amulet. Yan Qin thought that he would not be able to sleep all night, but to his surprise, he had no dreams all night and slept until dawn , or the regent called him up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, washed up with Yan Yuge, and changed into hunting clothes.

While having breakfast, he asked the regent: "Didn't anything messy happen last night?"

It was difficult for Yan Qin to fall asleep. Before going to bed, there was a turmoil, and he could not fall asleep. But once he fell asleep, unless he had a nightmare at night, otherwise, he would sleep very deeply and sleep until dawn.

It was because of this situation that when the regent king ran from the soft couch outside to his dragon bed when he was in the palace, he was ignorant.

The regent's sleep is exactly the opposite of his. Maybe it's because he was trained in the army. He falls asleep very quickly and sleeps lightly. If there is any trouble, he will be awakened. Sleeping beside Yan Qin to protect him, the emperor is simply a It couldn't be more appropriate.

Yan Yuge shook his head: "Not really."

He added, "I have been guarding His Majesty last night, and no messy people have entered the bedroom."

"It's fine if you don't have one." Who would expect something to happen to him? Now he can only hope that the soldiers of the Habayashi Army will arrest him. No matter how bad it is, he must investigate who released the organ. of.

After breakfast, Lu Chengyi, the leader of the Yulin Army, appeared in front of the little emperor again and reported to Yan Qin: "Your Majesty, after our search, we have confirmed that there is no assassin ambush in this forest farm."

The little emperor slept soundly. Ordinary soldiers like them did not have this kind of treatment. Last night they stopped until the night was dark and they could not see the situation clearly, but they did not rest. All the Habayashi soldiers surrounded Live in the entire mountain, take turns to be on duty, make sure that no one descends the mountain in disorder, wait until the sky is bright, and gather together, search the mountain carefully, do not let any tree go, make sure the whole mountain is safe, Just came to report the progress to the little emperor.

Before Yan Qin could speak, the regent spoke first: "There are no assassins in the forest farm, but it doesn't mean there are no assassins in the Habayashi army."

This is not a good thing to say. To put it seriously, it is to accuse the Habayashi Army of wanting to assassinate. If it were someone else, Lu Chengyi might pull out the long sword in the scabbard to face each other, but this is the current regent. He only turned pale, and argued for himself: "Your Majesty, I absolutely don't have any rebellious heart!"

Yan Qin said something on behalf of the regent: "He didn't say that you have it, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

The regent is right, and the Habayashi army said that the organ that released the cold arrow was put in last night, not the night before, that is to say, those who can release this thing are probably mixed in their teams .

Those thin and weak civil servants, it’s unlikely, the Habayashi Army has been interrogating them, any suspicious characters, or who has done suspicious things, they all remember clearly.

Compared with those civil servants who have no power to restrain chickens, military officers or the Habayashi Army are much more suspicious.After all, before going up the mountain, the Habayashi Army had already cleared the entire mountain to make sure that there was nothing wrong with it before letting the emperor go hunting.

Now that Liu Xinda's incident happened, what can it explain? One is that the Habayashi Army did not do things carefully and did not even find such a dangerous organization. The other is that someone in the Habayashi Army took advantage of the search opportunity to Quietly put things on.

Yan Qin murmured in his heart, the commander of the Yulin Army seems really not very smart, after returning to the palace, he will observe and see, it is better to change it to someone else.

To the emperor, those members of the Habayashi Army were just ordinary soldiers, but to Lu Chengyi, they were all brothers who lived through life and death. He retorted: "Your Majesty, maybe someone deliberately misled you into thinking this way. The Habayashi Army is your protector. If there were really any assassins, they would have taken action sooner. Why would they do such a thing?"

What he said sounded reasonable, but Yan Qin still remained skeptical: "Whether it is misleading or not, these people in the Yulin Army are the most suspicious people, and I am not familiar with you alone. It’s good to check yourself to see if someone’s face has been changed.”

After the emperor said this, he hit this point. Lu Chengyi's face was very ugly, but he still agreed: "Your Majesty said, I will do it here."

Seeing Lu Chengyi's appearance, Yan Qin had a feeling that the other party would obey others.It seems that the matter of changing the Habayashi Army should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. He is busy with government affairs on weekdays, and there are not many places where he needs to use the Habayashi Army.

On weekdays, these people are responsible for his safety and guarding the palace. As long as nothing happens, these people will have no sense of existence, and he didn't think about rectifying so much.

It must be too late to replace all these people temporarily, and now he still needs to use Lu Chengyi, he sighed, and glanced at Chang Xiao, who had been waiting by the side.

The latter nodded, trotted out, and called Lu Chengyi from behind: "Commander Lu, wait a minute."

Chang Xiao, as the famous person in front of Yan Qin, is also considered to be acquainted with Lu Chengyi. The latter stopped and bowed to the Eunuch Chang as a salute: "Eunuch Chang, but what orders does Your Majesty have?"

Chang Xiao said: "Your Majesty didn't have any instructions, but I saw you were not very happy earlier, and I was worried that you had misunderstood something. Naturally, His Majesty trusts the Yubayashi Army, but everyone who goes up the mountain today is suspicious. To put it bluntly, according to the current situation, the Habayashi Army is indeed the group of people who are most likely to be suspected. Commander Lu, since you trust these people under your opponent so much, then go and find out quickly. Only then can we truly prove our innocence.”

Chang Xiao's always smiling face suddenly became serious: "It's not that the miscellaneous people are scaring you. Your Majesty is a man of gold, which is different from us. Tell your brothers clearly about the pros and cons. Whatever unusual things you have done, tell them all, don’t think about sympathy, just do deceitful things, if something goes wrong with His Majesty, can you, and your brothers, survive? . Miscellaneous too Seeing that we are working together, I would like to remind you a few words, Your Majesty is still waiting for the miscellaneous family to serve, so I don't want you to say more."

Lu Chengyi was not a fool either. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Thank you, Eunuch Chang. I know it well, and I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

Previously at Yan Qin, although he didn't say anything, he could see Lu Chengyi's expression clearly. After working in the palace for so many years, he understood the thoughts of "Lu Chengyi" best.

For example, when Yan Qin was not a crown prince, but was just an unfavored prince, there were many servants like this in the palace where he lived. thing.

Don't look at Yan Qin who was kind to Lu Chengyi just now, and didn't say anything serious, but in Yan Qin's heart, he definitely won't want to use such an unreliable person again.

He saw what the little emperor meant, and Lu Chengyi probably wouldn't stay in this position for long.If it weren't for the little emperor still needing this Lu Chengyi now, he wouldn't need to come out and say such a thing.

What the emperor thinks, of course he would not tell Lu Chengyi all the good-hearted things. The master he always laughs at is Yan Qin. Without Yan Qin, he must not have a good life. Lu Chengyi is not devoted to the little emperor. It's not good to laugh at him often.

After saying what his master wanted him to say, Chang Xiao turned back, saw that the emperor had finished his breakfast, he smiled again, and asked thoughtfully: "Your Majesty seems to have a good appetite today, do you want to eat more? "

Last night, Yan Qin didn't eat much. One must know that the little emperor is still young and still growing, so how can he be hungry.

Yan Qin shook his head: "No, I ate quite a lot." The breakfast he had with the Prince Regent just now had some food for the Prince Regent, but the other party returned half of it to him. I was really full.

"Then your majesty will still be hunting next?" As Yanqin's chief executive and personal attendant, Chang Xiao must figure out the little emperor's next itinerary, otherwise, he can't prepare everything properly, let alone Serve the little emperor well.

Yan Qin shook his head: "No, after taking a nap at noon, go back to the palace."

Even if the Habayashi Army told him that there were no assassins in the forest at this time, and there was no mechanism for throwing sniper arrows in a mess, he didn't want to stay here anymore.

But the team is so vast and mighty, it’s not like he said that he can leave immediately in the next moment. It is appropriate to seek stability in such a short period of time.

Chang Xiao responded: "The servant will arrange it now."

What Chang Xiao arranged was for the palace people who came out with Yan Qin. Because Qiu Lie was far away from the imperial palace, a palace was specially built for the emperor on the mountainside. Of course, it was not built for Yan Qin. This was Yan Qin’s grandfather. It was there when the other party was there.

Although these emperors and dragon sons and grandsons don't come here many times, the palace here still needs to be refurbished every few years, lest the emperor come and live, and it will be dilapidated everywhere, which looks shameful.

In addition to Chang Xiao, the accompanying ministers and soldiers were also arranged.Because it was scheduled to be after a nap at noon, it was still early, and Yan Qin was bored sitting still, so he suggested: "If Uncle Wang is free, let's go for a walk with Gu."

In order to allow him to enjoy better hunting fun, the forest farms here usually do not allow local hunters and common people to hunt or pick things, so the scenery in the mountains and fields is God's use of time, a carving knife, for a day It was engraved in a day.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the bell is beautiful, which is very different from the artificially carved scenery in the palace.Yan Qin was mainly thinking that in the past half a year, although the regent and him had become closer, they had been focusing on the people's livelihood and state affairs all day long. It's a big event, and I'm so busy that I don't even feel like I'm in the mood to relax.

Now Qiu Lie must be unable to hunt. It is rare to come out for such a trip. It is also good for the two of them to look at the scenery together and relax.

It was rare for the little emperor to take the initiative to invite him, and the regent would be stupid to refuse.Without even thinking about it, he complied, and took his usual weapon to wear next to his body, just in case, and without any purpose, he started wandering around with the little emperor without thinking.

The two of them get along on weekdays, basically because of state affairs, and when they get along in private, they also retreat from the palace people, and they always feel that there is a little sneakiness in it.

As for the queen proposed by the regent, they used the pretense that the queen was a woman, and it was Yan Ruge, not the regent Yan Yuge.

Logically speaking, Yan Qin also gave himself a wedding in private, but on the bright side, they are still just monarchs and ministers, with outsiders around, basically they will not do more intimate things.It can even be said that the eyes can be deliberately avoided, even if they are standing together, others will not think too much.

But today, when the two of them walked together, Yan Qin was not only followed by the well-informed Chang Xiao, but also some palace servants and big internal guards who personally protected the little emperor.

Although the little emperor didn't intend to announce this to the world, he himself was hesitant and felt that it would be better to maintain the current situation, but this kind of semi-public feeling still made Yan Yuge feel very different.

I don't know what those old-fashioned people will look like if the two of them really tell the world.

As Yan Yuge thought about it, the corners of his lips turned up unconsciously.

Yan Qin was walking ahead, talking to the Prince Regent about some interesting things about this palace.Although he was an unfavored prince in the past, he was also a prince. When the regent was still stationed in the frontier, galloping and killing enemies on the battlefield, he would come to this palace every year at this time of year.

Just because he was not taken seriously, the crowd would not surround him like this, and revolve around him. Those who followed him everywhere back then just laughed a lot.

As he was talking, his eyebrows danced with joy, but he talked vigorously, but Yan Yuge didn't answer, and there was no response, so Yan Qin stopped talking all of a sudden.

He was a little unhappy: "Why is Uncle Wang so absent-minded? You don't listen to what Gu says, or you don't like walking with Gu at all."

"Hmm...um." Yan Yuge was thinking about something in his mind at this moment, and he didn't hear what the little emperor was saying clearly, so he subconsciously answered a few words, and the words were out of his mouth before he realized what he had just said What the little emperor said, he panicked all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that just now." How could he not like the little emperor, but Yan Qin's voice was nice, listening to it, he just drifted off and lost his mind.

Regardless of whether the regent meant it that way or not, Yan Qin was already pissed off by him, left the regent behind and walked on.

The little emperor walked fast with the wind blowing under his feet, Yan Yuge hurried to catch up, wanting to explain to Yan Qin.

Yan Qin had already passed a corner, and was walking faster and faster. The regent was anxious, so he simply jumped out of the narrow mountain road, and with the help of the steep mountain wall, he landed in front of the little emperor.

"You..." Isn't it just that Qinggong is a little better than him? Wait, I have time to spare. When he returns to the palace, he must practice hard. He is definitely better than blue. He will beat the regent to death. On the beach, next time the regent will not be able to catch up with him.

The palace was built on the hillside. Although most of the places are renovated once a year, some places are difficult to repair because there are not many masters. It will take several years to repair it once.

Maybe it's because it's been in disrepair for a long time, maybe it's because of other reasons.The place where the two of them were standing was originally a very narrow mountain road. Although it was surrounded by railings, they still had to be very careful when walking.

At this moment when the two were deadlocked here, a beam somewhere in the palace suddenly fell down.This is not a spacious place in the first place, if you retreat indiscriminately, you will only turn over to the foot of the mountain.

This is not a small hill, and rolling down will at most rub you with ashes.This is a lofty mountain, and this palace is built on the mountainside of this lofty mountain.

This mountainside is not a deep abyss, but at a glance, you can only see green eyes, and you can't see the bottom.

It took them a long time to climb this mountain. One could imagine the height of the mountainside. If they fell, their bodies would inevitably be smashed to pieces.And the weight of the beam is not light, if you don't dodge it, if you hit your head, you will be smashed into a fool.

And because the position of this crossbar is very important, when the carpenters selected materials, they used not ordinary wood. The wood is as hard as a rock and as heavy as iron. Smash people's bones.

The falling of the beam seemed to happen only for a moment. At that moment, Chang Xiao, who was unable to keep up with his master's footsteps, screamed "Your Majesty!"

Because he was too scared, his voice pierced his heart.Along with the falling huge crossbar, the voice of Chang Laughing also stopped abruptly, leaving only his sharp voice still echoing in the hollow valley: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

When the horizontal log fell into the mountain stream, because it was too deep, there was no sound of the giant log falling to the ground.When the echo of Chang Xiao gradually died down, everyone present who witnessed this "accident" panicked.

The eyeballs of the palace people and guards seemed to be motionless, and they stared at the place where the beam fell, where Yan Qin and the regent were, without blinking.

Chang Xiao yelled such a heartbreaking sentence, only the hearts of the palace servants who followed also jumped out of their chests.

The echo was still ringing in the valley, but Hengmu, the emperor, and the regent all disappeared from the same place. The timid palace servants were so frightened that they peed their pants, and there was a "light rain" in the wide trouser legs. ".

This palace man was not far from Chang Xiao, and the uneven stone road was suddenly covered with water stains, and there was an unpleasant stench.

Although Chang Xiao is an eunuch, he also loves cleanliness very much. If it was normal, he might take out a handkerchief from his pocket, cover his mouth and nose, and show a very disgusted expression.

But at this moment, he couldn't notice other people at all, his eyeballs wouldn't even move, and he just stared at the place where the little emperor disappeared.

The little eunuch who was so frightened that he peed his pants said, "Eunuch Chang... Your Majesty... Your Majesty fell! What should we do?!"

If the little emperor died, all the palace servants would definitely be dragged to be buried with him.It was because of the poor family that they sent him to the palace to gamble. He has suffered so much, and finally he has some hope in life. He is still young, he is only 11 years old, and he is not as old as the little emperor. He doesn't want to to die so early.

Just as Chang Xiao was about to say something, he moved his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound. When he yelled just now, he was really too scared. He was anxious, yelled too much, and his vocal cords were a little damaged.

Fortunately, it was not seriously damaged. He stood still for a while, and finally he was able to make a sound.But the sound was not loud, and his voice suddenly became different from his usual high-pitched voice, thick and hoarse, like a broken bellows, very rough, full of so-called men taste.

It's just this kind of masculinity, he never wants to have it again in his life, he was born with a smile, but now he looks very fierce, like a man-eating ghost from hell: "What are you still doing in a daze, what are you doing?" Don't hurry up and look for it, you want to see people if you live, and you want to see corpses if you die!"
