After leaving Prince Yi's mansion, Yan Chi turned back on his horse and headed towards the gate of the palace. Bai Feng followed behind Yan Chi and said, "Master, do you want to investigate the matter of Buddha sculpture in the palace?"
Yan Chi raised his jaw slightly, "No investigation."
Bai Feng said, "Master, do you believe His Highness Yan Ze's words?"
Yan Chi shook his head with narrow eyes, "Third brother wants to avenge his mother's death, so he is of the same kind as me, but I don't feel right."
Fighting in Shuoxi for many years, Yan Chi has already cultivated an instinctive perception of danger. Facing Yanze this time, firstly, the city that Yanze has hidden for many years is chilling, and secondly, he cannot see through Yanze. With these two points, it is impossible for him to really cooperate with Yan Ze.
Whether Yan Ze and the Empress are one is still unknown, but to Yan Chi, the dead Yan Ze of the Shen family became an accomplice indirectly, because of this, it is impossible for him to really cooperate with Yan Ze, and now it is only a short-term agreement. The consensus is to use each other, because at least for a short time they have a common enemy.
"Let Fan Xin prepare well, so that nothing will go wrong in the future."
Bai Feng hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, everything is ready, Xunniang and Master Yuan have already left the city."
Yan Chi nodded, then raised his whip and galloped away to the palace.
All the way from Prince Yi's mansion to the palace gate are patrolling guards. Even if there is another grand wedding in the city in the future, it will not dispel the haze that hangs over the people of the imperial capital at all. Not only that, Yan Chi found that the Imperial Forest Army in the city seems to be getting more and more There were more, Yan Chi's face turned serious, and he galloped into the palace gate.
There are two reasons for Yan Chi to enter the palace, one is to meet the saint, and the other is to visit Princess Taichang.
When they arrived at the Chongzheng Hall, Cheng Yundu and Tao Yongcheng hadn't left yet. When they heard that Yan Chi had entered the palace, the emperor called Yan Chi into the imperial study to speak.
After the salute, the emperor said, "You have worked hard to find someone in the past two days, and the day after tomorrow will be your big wedding. This matter will be handed over to Lin Zhang first. The big wedding is your top priority. When the time comes I asked Zhao Yu to lead the Imperial Forest Army to clear the way for your guards."
Yan Chi hurriedly said, "The imperial guards are the emperor's personal guards, Yan Chi dare not..."
The emperor waved his hand, "It's fine if I say yes, you don't need to say more, it's decided like this."
Yan Chi hesitated for a moment, and quickly thanked him, the emperor handed a booklet to Yuan Qing who was beside him, "Show it to Prince Rui."
Yuan Qing nodded, and handed the notebook to Yan Chi. Yan Chi opened the notebook and saw that the notebook came from Shuoxi, and it was to report that Chu Feicheng had escaped from Shuoxi's camp privately. The emperor looked at Yan with narrow eyes. Chi, "What do you think of this matter? Chu Feicheng is your father's general, you should be very familiar with it, what do you think he is going to do?"
Yan Chi closed the folder and said solemnly, "What happened to Shuoxi?!"
Yan Chi was surprised at first, and then said, "Chu Feicheng has a strong temperament. He used to be the second in command in the Shuoxi Army. Even when he was disrespectful to his father, his father Nian had followed him for many years. After a lot of tolerance, I didn't expect that he would actually do such a rebellious act after the father left."
Yan Chi's words were eloquent, and the emperor slightly raised his brows, "Not only that, but all the checkpoint camps around Shuoxi are now in Chu Feicheng's hands. Look, what is he trying to do?"
Yan Chi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "I'm afraid he wants to enclose the land and become king."
Enclosing land for king is an act of treason, but Yan Chi did not hesitate to convict Chu Feicheng.
The emperor sat up straight slowly, "In your opinion, how should we deal with it? How many troops does Chu Feicheng have?"
Yan Chi hurriedly said solemnly, "Of course it will be dealt with according to the laws of the country. As for the troops in Chu Feicheng's hands, I think they are at least 20,000. Chu Feisheng has been in the army for many years, whether it is Shuoxi's main battalion or other checkpoints. The battalion has prestige, the father has gone, Shuoxi's army must be a little unstable, Chu Feicheng escaped from the camp at this time, he must be able to win over many generals to follow, and there are more than ten thousand troops stationed scattered in the checkpoint battalion , I am afraid that these people are all in Chu Feicheng's hands now."
"More than 20,000 people... that's not too much. In your opinion, if the main battalion of the Shuoxi Army will be the vanguard to kill Chu Feicheng, will it be possible?"
Yan Chi nodded, "Naturally, the main battalion of the Shuoxi Army has a large number of men and horses, and they are all elites who are well-trained. As long as the leaders are capable, they will surely be able to kill Chu Feicheng."
The emperor's slightly frowned brow stretched two points, as if agreeing with Yan Chi's words, he nodded slightly, "Okay, I really need to ask you about Shuoxi, I will arrange for people to destroy Chu Feicheng, and you will also Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I can rest, after the big wedding, Jingzhong Xunren needs you to lead."
Yan Chi cupped his hands in obeisance, "This humble minister takes orders."
The emperor looked slightly relaxed when he heard the words, and said, "The queen mother has been in poor health for the past two days, but she is concerned about your marriage. Now that you have entered the palace, go and see her old man."
"This official has exactly this intention, so this official resigned first."
The emperor nodded, Yan Chi turned and walked out.
…
…
As soon as Qin Wan arrived at the gate of Shoukang Palace, he knew that Yan Chi had arrived, and couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.
Although she knew that Zhang Dongxuan must have brought the words to Yan Chi, there was still a huge difference between Zhang Dongxuan's words and listening to Yan Chi herself.
When they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, as soon as Qin Wan entered the door, he saw the Empress Dowager holding Yan Chi's hand and saying something. Hearing the movement, the Empress Dowager and Yan Chi turned around together. Seeing Qin Wan approaching, both of them were overjoyed. Qin Wan quickly stepped forward and saluted.
I haven't seen you for two days, and the Queen Mother's complexion became even worse. The Queen Mother held Qin Wan back and said, "I'm talking to Yan Chi. I won't be able to go to the palace when you get married in the future. I'll explain everything to Yan Chi. From now on, if Yan Chi dares to treat you badly, you can just come to me."
Qin Wan nodded, but the queen mother sighed, "As long as I don't die at that time, I will definitely teach her a good lesson."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Don't say that, Empress Dowager, after this winter, I will definitely be able to cure you."
"After this winter... But, this winter is too long... I don't know if I can get through it..."
Yan Chi sighed, "Imperial Grandmother will definitely be able to get over it, you still have to watch the younger generation get married and start a career."
The queen mother smiled when she heard the words, and held Qin Wan's hand tightly, "Are you entering the palace today to ask for my pulse?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Take the pulse of the empress dowager, and then talk to the empress dowager."
The queen mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, today you took my pulse, and I won't be able to see you until the day after tomorrow. According to the rules, you have to enter the palace to thank you on the second day of your marriage. You don't want to come tomorrow. Prepare well at home, make sure everything is ready and don't make trouble at the wedding."
Qin Wan felt warm in his heart, "Yes, don't worry, the Hou Mansion and Wang Mansion are all ready."
The queen mother looked at the two people in front of her with joy in her eyes, and then she thought of something and smiled bitterly, "I wanted to go to the palace to see it in person, but it's a pity that my body is really not up to par. When you two get married, I'll just wait for Ning'er and Yanli to leave, I can't wait for Yan Sui and the younger ones."
Qin Wan and Yan Chi looked at each other, their eyes were filled with gloom.
After talking to the queen mother for a few more words, the queen mother showed a sleepy look, and she didn't want Qin Wan and Yan Chi to accompany her, she went to the inner room to rest by herself, and Nanny Chen waited for the queen mother to rest, and walked out with Qin Wan When I was there, I was worried, "My lord, the princess, the empress dowager these two days... It's very bad..."
Qin Wan frowned, "What happened?"
Nanny Chen glanced around, and quickly told about what happened in Changxin Palace that day, Yan Chi and Qin Wan were both surprised when she said that.
They had already guessed that the concubine's illness was not simple, and such a change occurred after the Queen Mother went to Changxin Palace once. Does it mean that the Queen Mother has already seen something
"What did the imperial concubine say when she was talking nonsense?"
Nanny Chen sighed, "I told His Royal Highness Cheng Wang not to fight for the heir, and said that the emperor is the emperor..."
If it was just speculation before, Qin Wan and Yan Chi would feel a shivers down the spine when Mother Chen said this!
People who don't know the inside story may be confused, but Qin Wan and Yan Chi immediately understood that Feng Guifei did know the emperor's secret!
So the Queen Mother also knows? That's why he's been particularly moribund these two days? !
Several people looked at each other, and suddenly, a gust of wind hit Yan Chi's back. Yan Chi suddenly turned to one side, and with a twist of his wrist, he snatched it away from behind. The next moment, a childish scream sounded——
Qin Wan was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look, only to see Yan Sui appeared behind Yan Chi at some point, holding the unsharp dagger in his hand, and was about to sneak attack Yan Chi just now, but was caught by Yan Chi. Noticing and grabbing his wrist, Yan Chi's hand is so strong that Yan Sui's wrist turns blue immediately!
Seeing that it was Yan Sui, Yan Chi was also surprised, and hurriedly let go, Yan Sui shrank to Qin Wan's side with red eyes, obviously frightened!
Chen Momo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, why did you sneak attack His Highness Prince Rui! He is not someone you can hit!"
Seeing Qin Wan and Yan Chi's puzzled faces, Nanny Chen said, "Forgive me, my lord, His Highness Ninth Prince has practiced martial arts very diligently these past two days, but he couldn't find an opponent, but anyone who comes to Shoukang Palace, he will try them In the morning, Prince Gong was attacked by him when he came down, but His Royal Highness is not as skilled as your Highness, so His Highness Ninth really hit him."
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "Your Highness, sneak attack from behind is not the work of a gentleman?"
Yan Sui's wrist was black and blue, and now he lowered his head weakly and said, "I... I can't beat him..."
Qin Wan laughed, and Yan Chi was also a little funny, but he saw the small blood bubbles disappearing from Yan Sui's palm, and he pondered for a moment, "The move just now has no strength, and the angle is not right. If you want to learn, I will come teach you."
Yan Sui was taken aback, and looked up at Yan Chi in surprise, seeing his expression, Yan Chi strode to the courtyard, Yan Sui was not afraid for a moment, picked up the dagger that fell on the ground and followed him staggeringly .
