Ah Jiu's fingers were still sore, so she slept lightly at night and woke up with a little movement.
Ah Jiu heard some movement in her ears, and when she listened carefully, she found that someone was calling her master. She half-squinted her eyes and saw a tall figure standing outside the gauze beside the bed.
Ah Jiu's eyes widened in fright, and endured the pain in her hands, she propped herself up and moved herself into the bed at once.
The man didn't move for a long time before Ah Jiu asked, "Who are you?"
The man didn't move, but replied indifferently, "Miss An's secret guard was notified by Miss An that it is for His Majesty's use."
Only then did Ah Jiu put down her guard, straightened the quilt, rubbed her hands, sat down on the edge of the bed, closed her coat, lifted the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the man standing in front of her.
The tall figure lingered with a dark aura, and in the dim light, Ah Jiu could only see the man's sword eyebrows and sharp eyes. He couldn't see the dark guard on weekdays, but he didn't know that the dark guard was so handsome.
Before Ah Jiu could see clearly, the man knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "This subordinate is the leader of the dark guard, Yuan Ye, join Your Majesty!"
Ah Jiu looked down and saw that the wilderness was motionless, and Ah Jiu sat up straight again and asked, "From now on, you will be loyal to me, you know?"
"My subordinates should obey Your Majesty!"
Ah Jiu nodded and said solemnly, "How many dark guards are there in total?"
Yuan Ye lowered his head and replied, "There are thirty-three people in total, and ten women, all of whom are first-class elites."
That man was not humble either. He was a straight figure kneeling on one knee. Ah Jiu pondered, the dark guard's temperament should be the same.
"Don't tell me, these 33 people are all standing outside the hall?" Ah Jiu stood up, stood on the side of the field, and looked out through the open window.
Yuan Ye nodded, "The other thirty-two people are outside the hall!"
Ah Jiu's legs were frightened, Yuan Ye gave Ah Jiu a hand from standing on one side, and firmly supported Ah Jiu until he stood still.
She just casually said that these thirty-two people were really waiting outside the palace. Thirty-two people surrounded her bedroom. There was no movement in the palace, which showed that the name of the elite was not fake.
Ah Jiu glanced out of the window a few more times before continuing, "They don't have to come in, I'll just know one of you. No matter what my identity is in the future, you just remember to be loyal to me."
"Be faithful!"
"Yeah!" Ah Jiu nodded and turned to look at Yuan Ye, "I still don't know your abilities, but I believe that more than 30 people who can appear in the palace without being discovered, must have their own abilities. But I still need to be clear."
"Your Majesty, please order!"
Ah Jiu chuckled, she is indeed a smart person!
"There is a lieutenant named Lin Changxing next to General Li Yu. I have suspected her for a long time, so you can help me check her identity and origin, why she is doing things, and then give me an answer after checking each one. Be sure to check it out. No mistakes can be made."
"Yes!" Yuan Ye answered forcefully, and when Ah Jiu was speechless, she turned out the window and closed the window by the way.
After Yuan Ye left, Ah Jiu suddenly collapsed to the ground. She was propped up on the ground, unable to care about the pain in her hand, and her face was full of helplessness.
She is not what she used to be. Her full of thoughts has made her more scheming now. From the temptation to the secret guard, Ah Jiu took every step of the way, not to mention that her identity is now scaring her, so she took it step by step. Going down, she is no longer who she used to be.
But she doesn't regret it.
She lay in bed for a long time before she fell asleep, and of course she was thinking about An Qianru's affairs at the same time. Of course, she lied to An Qianru. She wanted these secret guards not for court affairs, but to find out her own identity. .
And An Qianru entered the palace early in the morning, and before going to Ah Jiu's dormitory, she deliberately sat at the door of the study for a while, listening to Fu Yan in the study listening to ministers' recitations, and explaining their confusion to the ministers.
An Qianru leaned against the gate of the palace and began to be stunned. It has been half a month since Ah Jiu came to the court after being ill. Although Ah Jiu didn't deal with the political affairs very much on weekdays, she did not let go of the political affairs so completely.
She remembered that her father had told her that when A Jiucai spread out that there was no cure for the epidemic, there was a commotion among the ministers who supported Fu Yan, and they said some disobedient words that abandoned the empress to take power alone.
An Qianru glanced at the battle in her eyes, turned around and left.
When he met Li Yu who was in a hurry halfway through, he just stopped him, and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Are you going to see Ah Jiu?"
Li Yu nodded and looked at An Qianru, "Are you going too?"
An Qianru walked forward, "That's right, I'll come to see Ah Jiu in the palace."
After saying that, the two happened to be walking together, and halfway through the road, An Qian hugged her chest and pouted, "What's the use of raising these officials in the Chen family, in the end it's the outsiders who help, the situation in the officialdom changes so fast, it's no wonder Ah Nine and one women are still hard to win the heart of the court, and the court is the world of men."
Li Yu walked on the side, thinking about what An Qianru should have heard, not to mention that An Qianru is also a smart person, she should have heard something outside the study just now, so she naturally knows.
"You have been in Saibei for six years, and you have never entered the court. You should not understand the officialdom, right?" An Qianru stopped and asked him.
Li Yu looked at her, and for some reason he saw a hint of cunning in her eyes, far from being as innocent as when he was in the school, but his words and deeds still revealed a little pride.
Li Yu chuckled, "Although I don't understand, I can also see that Ajiu has been in power for six years, and I have written to Ajiu for six years, but Ajiu has never received a single letter, Ajiu is the empress. , what letter can't be delivered to her, and the only one who can stop the letter is Fu Yan, and none of the ministers have mentioned it, which shows that the officialdom is deep. Even the letter of request that I came back these days, It was Fu Yan who gave it to me."
An Qianru's face changed after hearing this, and she was greatly surprised, "What?"
After a while, An Qianru finally reacted and pondered carefully, "In the past six years, you have written letters to us, Wen Xiangxiang and I have received them, but only one Ah Jiu has not received, no wonder Ah Jiu has never received it. Without mentioning you, it turned out that Fu Yan intercepted it! But why is Fu Yan..."
An Qianru paused, looked at Li Yu's eyes, and immediately understood what it meant, "Fu Yan didn't like you and Ah Jiu very much when he was in school, I thought it was nothing when I was young, but now At such an old age, and still protecting Ah Jiu in everything, it really makes me think that this prince regent is in love with this little empress, so it can be seen from the bottom of my heart that I am still afraid that you will take away Ah Jiu."
"For six years, I was not allowed to interact with Ah Jiu, and even when I returned to the imperial capital, I tried my best to blame me. It turned out to be like this! Fu Yanke is so kind!"
Li Yu smiled bitterly. When he was young, he still remembered that Fu Yan was not so scheming. Since Ajiu became king, his temperament has changed a bit. He stayed in Saibei for six years, and now he is no match for Fu Yan.
He smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly, but An Qianru grabbed him.
When Li Yu was puzzled, An Qian quickly explained.
"I don't know if you are interested in Ah Jiu. It's true that I still miss Fu Yan. I will take Fu Yan from Ah Jiu, and you will take Ah Jiu from Fu Yan, right?"
Li Yu was stunned, he had never thought like this, he treated A Jiu without any restraints or fetters, thinking that as long as she had her in his heart, she would support everything she did, even if he did not choose him in the end.
He also knew that An Qian had liked Fu Yan since childhood, but he didn't talk about it, but brought in another person directly.
"What about Xiangxiang? Wen Xiangxiang has always had a heart for you, do you want to let him down?"
An Qianru didn't expect that Li Yu would suddenly mention Wen Xiangxiang, and the whole person froze in place, all she saw was the scene of Wen Xiangxiang smiling at her, but after thinking about it, she was surprised that she had not been with her for a long time. Wen Xiangxiang has spoken well, but Wen Xiangxiang has been avoiding her.
Thinking of Wen Xiangxiang and An Qianru but feeling a little uncomfortable, he turned his head in a panic and said, "You can't force things like feelings, it's not if he likes you, you have to accept it, for example, if Ah Jiu is really harmonious. Fu Yan together, will you agree?"
"As long as Ah Jiu is happy." Li Yu answered simply.
An Qian continued to ask without giving up, "But don't you think that anytime you take care of Ah Jiu by yourself, you will feel more at ease than others?"
"So I won't give Ah Jiu to others easily."
After speaking, Li Yu walked straight away, but the firm and persistent words fell into An Qianru's heart.
She thought that Li Yu wanted to treat A Jiu well, and wanted to take one with Li Yu, but Li Yu's temperament of not fighting or robbing really didn't change at all, and he was still so kind and accommodating to A Jiu .
She thought about it for a while, but she still followed, but she also thoroughly thought about the final result of this matter in her heart. This is why Fu Yan is still in control of Huangquan in the imperial capital, while Li Yu can only suffer in Saibei.
She followed Li Yu in front of her, thinking about A Jiu's affairs, and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring in the epidemic in the imperial capital from Saibei?"
Li Yuxing paused suddenly, then slowed down and walked, "I didn't expect it to be spread outside the palace!"
An Qianru knew what Li Yu was about to say as soon as she heard it, and waved her hand quickly, "I didn't hear it outside the palace. If Ah Jiu knew about it, she would definitely protect your reputation."
Li Yu turned back to An Qianru very calmly, "It is because Ah Jiu already knows that I went to see her."
An Qianru was shocked. A Jiu had already guessed everything, but she still didn't blame Li Yu. After she asked carefully, she realized that A Jiu had asked in front of him.
As soon as the two of them entered Ah Jiu's bedroom, they saw Wen Xiangxiang sitting in the hall feeding Ah Jiu and drinking medicine, Ah Jiu squinted and smiled as soon as the two of them came in, "I thought none of you would come here. I originally picked a good day to come together."
Li Yu felt extremely sad at this smile.
An Qian, who was on the side, stepped forward to say hello, and squeezed Liu Yemei and gave Wen Xiangxiang a wink, but Wen Xiangxiang, who was feeding the medicine to A Jiu, didn't see it, and stared at A Jiu's medicine.
In a hurry, An Qian snatched the bowl from Wen Xiangxiang's hand and handed it to Li Yu, "Wen Xiangxiang, I have something to tell you." Then she went straight out.
Wen Xiangxiang thought that An Qianru was a sloppy person after all, otherwise he would drag him out directly, how could he be allowed to follow him, he smiled at Ajiu, followed him out, and kept the bowl. Li Yu and Ah Jiu lying down.
Ah Jiu frowned, "You said something to An Qianru on the way here, otherwise how could An Qianru have something to say to Wen Xiangxiang!"
Li Yu pursed his lips and smiled lightly.
But in Ah Jiu's eyes, this kind of Li Yu is Li Yu, the one who left many years ago, but this smile reminded her of Uncle Huang, she couldn't help but take it away, only to find that Li Yu had already sat in front of him to feed the medicine. .
