Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Zhong Shui, who had been hiding in the dark: "???"

He seemed to have eaten a huge melon.

It has been more than two months since Yue Qinghe sent him to secretly protect Qingchen.

For the past two months, he has been hiding in secret and has never appeared in front of Qingchen.

Does this give His Highness the illusion that he is not near the Ninth Princess?

He had never thought that he had never been close to a womanizing His Highness in the North.

Would you like this, actually like the Ninth Princess? His own royal sister!

Zhong Shui felt that he had to keep his mouth shut and never let others know.

Otherwise, His Highness will definitely silence himself.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly left here.

Zhong Shui left the palace and returned to Prince Zhai's Mansion to find Qing Mu.

After Aoki came out of the water prison and recuperated for a few days, he went to the secret guard team to investigate the matter of the Ninth Princess' secret guard.

Since he was never at home, Zhong Shui hadn't seen anyone else for a month.

When I came back today, I saw him in his room.

He immediately stepped forward to care about his injury: "Don't be so desperate and pay more attention to your body. How is your injury?"

The man sitting at the table looking at the roster didn't even look at him. He kept looking at the roster on the table and ignored him.

Zhong Shui stepped forward, "Is this the roster of secret guards? How did you get it?"

How could this thing fall into his hands? Could it be...

"I stole it last night." Facing Zhong Shui, Qingmu said straightly without any concealment.

Zhong Shui was shocked, "You want to die. If the commander finds out, you will be finished."

The leader Zhong Shui mentioned was the leader who trained the secret guards.

A mysterious man wearing a mask.

The secret guards are soldiers trained by the royal family to serve only the royal family.

Zhong Shui and Qing Mu were both orphans. They were brought into the secret guard by their commander since they were young. After experiencing the darkest and most severe training, they were assigned to protect their master.

The person they were sent to protect was the fifth prince Yue Qinghe.

There is only one secret guard beside the princess in the palace.

The princes who were sent out of the palace were all protected by two secret guards.

Why did he become a guard?

It was all because he was seriously injured when he stepped in to protect Yue Qinghe in the northern border.

The secret guard who was seriously injured was going to be treated as an abandoned son and executed.

But His Highness was kind enough to take them both back even though he was injured.

After learning that the secret guards protecting the master in the dark all lived in the open and only ate steamed buns.

His Highness promoted them all to become his bodyguards.

He said he didn't need anyone to spy on him.

The secret guard has his own code and is loyal to his master.

I will never discuss my master's private matters in private.

One glory and one glory.

They all understand this.

So when the master has something going on, they have no reason to stay out of it.

If necessary, he will risk his life to protect his master.

Aoki continued to look at the roster and ignored him.

Zhong Shui also leaned beside him to help read, but they were all names, and there was no mention of which master they were assigned to.

"This doesn't even mention who the Ninth Princess's secret guards are. What's the use of just looking at this list?"

"The Ninth Princess's secret guard is a woman." Aoki suddenly said.

Zhong Shui became more and more curious after hearing this, "Female? There are not many female secret guards in the secret guard team, so the scope is reduced a lot."

"Yes." Aoki responded calmly.

Female secret guards are really rare in the secret guard team, when they were trained when they were young.

I have come into contact with female secret guards of the same age, although there are more than a dozen.

But after experiencing brutal training, only a few survived.

After looking through the entire roster, there were eight female secret guards.

"There are eight. How are you going to find them?" Zhong Shui raised his eyes and looked at him.

His handsome face showed no expression at all, and his eyes were still as calm as water.

"I have my own way." Aoki closed the register and put it away.

Then he glanced at the man next to him and said, "Why did you come to see me so late?"

The two of them didn't live in the same room at all.

"I..." Zhong Shui hesitated, feeling that he should abide by the secret guard code and not discuss his master's affairs in private.

But he was really curious. Aoki had always followed His Highness in the past.

He didn't believe that Qingmu didn't know anything about His Highness and the Ninth Princess.

He said so.

No wonder Aoki broke into the Ninth Princess's bedroom while she was bathing to search for thieves from the West He Kingdom.

He would be punished so severely by His Highness. It turns out that His Highness hid such thoughts towards the Ninth Princess.

Aoki probably guessed something from his expression.

But he didn't want to tell Zhong Shui too much about His Highness and the Ninth Princess, so he said: "Don't chew the master's tongue."

Zhong Shui was shocked. He didn't say anything. Did this guy know what he was going to say?

He pulled Qingmu, "Did you already know about His Highness and the Ninth Princess?"

Aoki ignored him, "What are they doing?"

"You..." Zhong Shui felt like he was hitting cotton with his fist. He couldn't exert any force. He couldn't say it, and it wouldn't matter if he didn't say it.

He understands his brother's temperament and knows that he is absolutely loyal to his master.

If he doesn't figure this out, he will really suffer internal injuries.

So, Zhong Shui sat down on Qingmu's bed in frustration and said: "His Highness recently sent me to secretly protect the Ninth Princess... Tonight I saw His Highness blocking the Ninth Princess at the entrance of Mingyue Palace, and forcefully... kissed the Ninth Princess... …”

Aoki stared at the flickering candlelight, his expression unchanged, but a complex emotion flashed across his eyes.

Then he stood up and pulled him up and pushed him out of his room, "You cannot discuss the master's affairs in private."

"Eh..." Zhong Shui, who was pushed out of the door, pressed against the door he was about to close and asked, "Then how do you plan to find out about the Ninth Princess' secret guard?"

After all, he promised Princess Ninth to investigate this matter for her.

As a result, this good brother of mine insisted on taking over.

He should always ask about the progress.

"I'll tell you later." The door was closed ruthlessly, and Zhong Shui's nose almost hit him with the door of his room.

Taking a deep breath, he could only smoke the weeds on the side, plucked one and held it in his mouth, then continued into the palace and squatted near the Mingyue Palace.

……

After Queen Ran heard that Qingchen had promised to choose a consort.

He acted more proactively than his own daughter who wanted to choose a prince-in-law.

She thought, after all, this girl will move out of the palace as soon as she gets married.

As soon as she leaves the palace, there will be few people to dominate the emperor.

You know, the emperor dines with that girl every other day.

In one month, I could count the number of times I had meals with the emperor on the palm of my hand.

But that girl accounted for half of it in a month.

When she thought of this, how could Queen Ran be reconciled? She had been with the emperor for decades, but she could not compare to the daughter born to a woman of unknown origin.

She collected portraits of young talents of the right age in Kyoto and sent them to Mingyue Palace, leaving Yue Qingchen to choose them.

Qingchen, who was in the Mingyue Palace, couldn't help but feel a little headache when he saw the portrait of the man sent by the Queen.

The queen really wants to marry herself out of the palace early.

"Princess, this is an invitation from Ran Mansion." Yue Ji came in from outside and took an invitation in her hand.

"Ran Mansion?" She took the invitation and took a look and realized that it was sent to her by Ran Zhinian.

She planned to hold a flower-viewing banquet at the prime minister's house, and asked her if she would appreciate it and came to watch it together at the house.

It is said to be an invitation, but in fact it is undoubtedly because I want to understand Yue Qinghe through myself.
