Chapter 1046 Inside Story
into the night.

Shao Xiu avoided the expeditionary army outside the city and sneaked into the palace secretly.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor woke up leisurely, and Yan Qinghe hurriedly ordered the chief eunuch to invite the imperial physician over.

"Yan Aiqing, I know my body well." The emperor stopped the eunuch, lifted the quilt, and tried to get up with his hands on the edge of the bed.

Yan Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor: "Your Majesty, be careful."

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to help him. He took the coat handed over by the eunuch and put it on himself.

"Right now, hasn't General Bai returned yet?" The emperor went to the table and sat down.

Yan Qinghe nodded slightly: "I guess it will be a day or two, Your Majesty, please give General Bai some more time."

The emperor sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, I believe that General Bai will come back in time, and I swear to protect Your Majesty to the death." Yan Qinghe cupped his hands.

The emperor closed his eyes and saw that Yan Qinghe's eyes were blue and black, and his voice softened: "I don't have to doubt my loyalty to you. You have been tired for so many days. Go back to the side hall to rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, and I will retire."

Yan Qinghe retreated respectfully.

When Shao Xiu saw this scene through the curtain, she couldn't help being surprised, even Yan Qinghe had beheaded the crown prince, how could the emperor be so magnanimous?
Seeing Yan Qinghe turning out, Shao Xiu hurriedly chased after him, and when Yan Qinghe entered the side hall and was about to close the door, Shao Xiu took the opportunity to slip in.

"Who is it?" The guards on patrol heard the sudden sound of hurried footsteps, ran over quickly, and said loudly.

Yan Qinghe glanced sideways, and said to the imperial army: "It's me, you all step back."

Hearing Yan Qinghe's voice, the Imperial Army said respectfully, "Yes, Master Yan."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went to patrol in the other direction.

After closing the door, Yan Qinghe walked to the stone bench next to the main hall and sat down: "Guardian Shao, please sit down."

Only then did Shao Xiu come out from the side of the curtain: "Master Yan, Madam asked me to send you a letter."

As she spoke, she took out the long black lacquered square box from her bosom and handed it to Yan Qinghe.

Yan Qinghe was not in a hurry to dismantle it, but looked at Shao Xiu with a slightly nervous expression: "How is Yiyi? Is she injured?"

Shao Xiu shook her head: "Fortunately, she came in time, Madam was not injured, just worried about your lord."

"I'm fine, tell her not to worry." Yan Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, opened the black lacquer box, and took out the letter inside.

He casually lit the lamps on both sides and read the letter carefully.

After reading it, Yan Qinghe raised his eyebrows, folded the letter carefully, and put it back in the envelope.

He picked up the pen, wrote a letter and handed it to Shao Xiu: "Please Hufa Shao go back and tell her, I'm fine, don't read, let her take care of herself."

Shao Xiu stuffed the letter into his collar, nodded, and turned to leave.

Yan Qinghe looked at her fleeting figure, kept stroking the edge of the black lacquer box with his fingers, and sighed softly: "Yiyi, Yiyi...you have done this for me, how dare I die?"

……

Yun Yiyi stood by the window, looking at the brightly lit imperial city in the distance.

"Madam, I brought the letter to you." Shao Xiu took out a letter from her collar and handed it to Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi nodded, and opened the letter in twos and threes.

While she was reading the letter, Shao Xiu said, "My lord, he is very good, let Madam take care of herself."

Yun Yiyi glanced at ten lines, and after reading it, she curled her lips.

"Ma'am, what did your lord say in the letter?" Shao Xiu asked puzzled seeing her smile.

Yun Yiyi handed the letter to Shao Xiu: "Qinghe said that the prince is not dead, and everything is just to save my eyesight."

After hearing this, Shao Xiu quickly unfolded the letter.

It turned out that when Yun Yiyi was arrested by the fourth prince, Yan Qinghe expected that the other party might threaten him with her, so he discussed with the prince in advance, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince would ask Yan Qinghe to kill the prince. It was someone the two of them hadn't expected.

In order to prevent the fourth prince from seeing the flaws, the prince deliberately led the fourth prince to talk more to delay the time, and only when his subordinates brought the head of a criminal did he act like beheading the prince.

Because of the height of the observatory, and the fact that the forbidden army surrounded Yan Qinghe and blocked the fourth prince's sight, he thought it was true.

Yan Qinghe had known for a long time that the fourth prince would not let him go, and let him kill the prince for the convenience of blaming him in the future, but he had to do so.

If he doesn't obey the fourth prince, Yun Yiyi will be killed on the spot, no matter what, he will delay Yun Yiyi for some time...

Fortunately, Chen Ci and Shao Xiu arrived at that time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

This is also the most daring thing Yan Qinghe has done so far, so he also expressed his fear to Yun Yiyi in the letter.

After Shao Xiu read the letter, she couldn't help admiring Yan Qinghe.

At such a time, it is absolutely impossible for her to think of countermeasures in advance.

"Shao Hufa, you have been busy all day for me, go to the next room to rest, I asked Princess Minghui to ask for a special room for you." Seeing Shao Xiu's tired expression, Yun Yiyi hurriedly said.

Before rushing to the capital from the inn, Yun Yiyi guessed that she must have not rested if she arrived so quickly.

"Now is a critical period, how can I leave Madam, Shao Xiu wants to protect Madam here." Shao Xiu shook her head, when she went out today, the officers and soldiers in the city were still searching for the whereabouts of Yun Yiyi and others, who knows when they will find here Come on, just in case, it is safer for her to protect Yun Yiyi here, even if she encounters officers and soldiers, she can take her away.

Yun Yiyi sighed: "Forget it, Chen Ci, I've already asked him to rest. In the middle of the night, you can change shifts with him."

Shao Xiu nodded, no wonder she didn't see Chen Ci, she thought she was sent by Yun Yiyi to do something.

"Shao Hufa, why did you come to inform me yourself this time?" Yun Yiyi was not sleepy at the moment, so she started talking about sex. When she went to Xuanji Pavilion, she didn't know much about Shao Xiu. It's important, but she can actually send other guardians over, there's really no need to go there herself.

"Madam doesn't know something." Shao Xiu sat down, "Xuanji Pavilion has an intelligence office in every country, and every guardian in the pavilion is in charge of a country, and I am the owner of the Xuanji Pavilion who is in charge of Da Zhou. Pavilion, before my wife went to Dachu, it was Lu Miao who sent someone to pass it on to me... Therefore, Chen Ci was able to mobilize the people in Xuanji Pavilion, but because Xuanji Pavilion is very low-key in Dachu, most of them are spies. There are very few outstanding ones, therefore, I couldn't directly send my wife back to Da Zhou..."

Having said that, she glanced at Yun Yiyi with a little regret.

Yun Yiyi waved her hand to show that she was fine: "Shao Hufa doesn't need to feel guilty, if Lu Hufa didn't protect me secretly, I wouldn't be able to come back safely."

"I have something to ask my wife." Shao Xiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi nodded slightly: "Just ask."

Shao Xiu stared at Yun Yiyi closely: "Madam, do you know Xuanzhen?"

"I know a little bit, why did you suddenly ask about him?" Yun Yiyi's eyebrows twitched, Shao Xiu must have noticed something was wrong.

"The first time I saw Xuanzhen, I thought he looked familiar, but I had never seen him before... I tried him, and who knows, he could actually crack my martial arts moves..."

Shao Xiu frowned, subconsciously shrinking her sleeves.

"Then... maybe he's amazing..." Yun Yiyi coughed lightly.

Shao Xiu shook her head: "It's not that powerful, but it's very strange... Seeing his random moves, it seems that he has practiced countless times. I fought against him, just like... just like the previous pavilion master..."

Yun Yiyi's heart skipped a beat.

"And the most important thing is that he has no inner strength!" Having said this, Shao Xiu's eyes became more suspicious, "It stands to reason that a person like this should have strong inner strength, but he has no inner strength at all... ...I thought he was trying to hide his strength, but then I found out that he really doesn't have a trace of internal strength... This is too strange... Whoever practices martial arts does not practice internal strength, this is equivalent to putting on airs..."

The corner of Yun Yiyi's mouth twitched, really, couldn't Xuanzhen deal with the aftermath properly?With so many doubts...

Blame her for not thinking clearly at the time...

Seeing that Yun Yiyi remained silent for a long time, Shao Xiu raised her eyes and looked at her: "Madam, do you think this is something wrong? How can a person who can beat me in moves have no internal strength? No matter how I think about it, I find it strange... "

Yun Yiyi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea: "There's nothing strange about it, maybe he's just practicing flamboyance, how tired he is from practicing internal strength, didn't Princess Minghui also say that he is just a three-legged cat's kung fu?"

"No... still not right... There are not many people in this world who can surpass me in moves. Since he is so talented in martial arts, he will not stop practicing internal strength. This is not in line with common sense..." Shao Xiu frowned.

Yun Yiyi handed Shao Xiu a glass of water, and asked her to drink it: "Oh, there's nothing wrong with it, you see Xuan Zhen's foolishness, he is not a young man who can learn martial arts... What kind of move has he beaten you?" , I see, it's just a coincidence...the blind cat met a dead mouse..."

"Really?" Shao Xiu took a sip and put it on the table, her expression slightly relaxed.

Yun Yiyi nodded: "Do you not believe my judgment? This matter is probably a coincidence, so don't pay too much attention to it..."

Shao Xiu frowned.

Is it really just a coincidence, as Madam said?
Why doesn't she feel that at all?

Xuan Zhen always gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had known her for many years...

It's so weird.

"Shao Hufa, do you think the cubs are safe there?" Seeing that she was still thinking, Yun Yiyi quickly changed the subject.

Shao Xiu cupped her hands and said: "Madam, don't worry, although they have not been sent to Xuanji Pavilion, it is a branch of Xuanji Pavilion, and they will definitely be protected..."

"That's good." Yun Yiyi stretched her waist, "It's getting late, I'll go to rest first, Guardian Shao, if you're sleepy, just lie down on the bed and rest for a while, they won't Find ours."

After finishing speaking, Yun Yiyi didn't care about Shao Xiu's reaction, and quickly walked back to the bed. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would be finished by Shao Xiu.
