The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

At this time, the winter morning light has broken through the sky, shining on the red walls and green tiles of the palace.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty came out in droves. The imperial officials at the imperial court were so high-spirited when they came and how cautious they were when they left. Everyone wanted to go back quickly so that they could burn the memorials in their sleeves without leaving any trace.

As for the charges against Prince Shen, His Majesty has already said that there are heretical cults slandering the Prince. God sent a thunder warning to prove the prince's innocence. Who dared to say another word?

Prince Yan Sinian did not leave with the ministers. He came to Su Laiguang and asked: "Su Banban wonders how my father is doing now? Can you allow me to see him?"

Su Laiguang smiled and saluted Yan Sinian: "Your Highness, don't worry. Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor. Even if there are some evil spirits and villains, His Majesty will be able to keep His Majesty safe, not to mention the presiding relationship of the Imperial Temple." Master Tong and Taoist Master Lin Jiu of Tianji Temple, if they jointly set up an altar, there will definitely be no danger."

Regarding the rumors slandering him, Yan Sinian knew clearly that they were his own trap. As for early warnings from the sky, thunder in winter, etc., those are Xiaoba’s fault and have nothing to do with God at all. But this did not affect his expression in front of Su Laiguang, the anger and excitement caused by others slandering him, as well as the fear and uneasiness of the thunder warning. At the same time, he also expressed his concern and gratitude to his father. It was really unfilial of him to have to stay in seclusion for nine days even though the emperor was tired of helping him.

Su Laiguang stayed with him throughout the whole process with a smile, and even more words of comfort to Yan Sinian. Finally, he told Yan Sinian: "Although His Majesty's oral instruction only handed over Zhu Pi to His Highness for nine days, it will not be taken back before the new year is sealed. If Your Highness has anything to do, feel free to handle it. The government will still be in charge during this period." Your Highness the Crown Prince should be more concerned about it."

Yan Sinian expressed his knowledge and asked Su Laiguang to tell the emperor that he would make proper arrangements for the court and he would also take care of and supervise matters related to the New Year's Eve banquet.

After saying goodbye to Su Laiguang, Yan Sinian returned to the East Palace. At this time, he was a little curious about what was under the tree. Now it seems that no matter what it is, it must be beneficial to myself. From Su Laiguang's attitude and words and deeds towards himself, it is not difficult to infer some of the emperor's thoughts and attitude towards him.

Yan Sinian vaguely felt a trace of regret and apology. Maybe he could find an opportunity to hold Su Laiguang back and ask Xiao Ba to help him see what was buried under the tree.

In any case, the current situation is very good for me. This Zhu batch is now in his hands again. The group of people he originally planned to deal with after the new year can now be implemented in advance.

Thinking about it this way, he regretted that he had blocked the emperor's request for his female family members to attend the banquet a few days ago. If all the women's families from all the houses are here, if he really accidentally kills a few of them during the Chinese New Year, the whole family can die neatly and happily together.

Yan Sinian returned to the study and waved his hand to signal everyone waiting in the room to get out.

He knocked on the table with his hand and said loudly: "Inform An Yi and ask him to go to Xiaojiu's place to see how things are going. If there is no problem, Xiaojiu will come over in two days."

After the sound of "nuo" came from the air, there was no sound.

An Yi is the leader of the secret guards of the East Palace. After receiving the message from the prince, he came to the secret prison.

To enter the secret cell, you first have to pass a downward staircase, which is not steep but very long. There was an iron door at the end of the stairs with a small window. An Yi pressed on a stone on the side and watched the stone being pressed into the wall and then slowly popping out. After waiting for a short while, the small window was opened, revealing Eunuch Feng's pale and old face.

No one is allowed to enter or leave the secret prison in the East Palace without the prince's order. This place is managed by Eunuch Feng. This Eunuch Feng was pulled out of the dead by His Highness the Crown Prince three years ago. Apart from His Highness the Crown Prince, he never looked at anyone in the eyes. Even though he was a secret guard, he could no longer conceal his presence in the secret cell. An Yi took out his token and got Eunuch Feng's permission before walking in.

There were not many cells in the secret cell. There were only a few simple cells on one side of the corridor. On the other side, the stone walls were covered with mottled stains and bloodstains, and the damp ground was bumpy.

There was only one person in those cells, lying on the ground like a pile of mud. His clothes were in tatters and covered with blood, and the air was filled with the smell of medicine. It was obvious that he was tortured and then drugged to hang his life.

An Yi knew this person, he was the mysterious snake who was caught a few days ago. I heard from Xiaojiu that the mysterious snake was poisoned. Eunuch Feng thought he could cure it, but only half of it was cured, so he was in a bad mood and planned to raise him for a few days before trying the medicine.

An Yi didn't care about Xuan She. He walked through the cells and walked to the innermost room, where there was a separate room.

The door of this room was very short, only half a person tall, so An opened the door and got in. The room is not big, but it is quite special. There is a fence with hardwood posts in the middle of the whole room. This fence reaches the roof and divides the house into two halves.

Near the door, there is a set of tables and chairs. Sitting on the chair is a young man wearing a eunuch uniform. He is actually the prince's personal eunuch Ren Gu. On the other side of the fence, there was a person sitting against the wall. At this time, he had gone out more and took in less air. Although he still had breath, he was not far from death. The two men have identical faces.

Anichi came to the table and asked, "How's it going?"

The man said: "No problem." His voice was actually An Jiu's.

"The sound is wrong." An Yi glared at him.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't be able to tell who is who among us when big brother comes in?" The voice that spoke this time was clearly Ren Gu's somewhat sharp voice.

An Jiu, who was dressed as Rengu, said, "It's not difficult to learn from him. I've been watching him for so many years. I dare say that even His Highness can't tell who is who among us."

An Jiu was specially trained as a stand-in among the secret guards. He was trained to imitate the art of disguise, but the people he imitated before were all His Highness the Crown Prince. Three years ago, the prince told him to observe Rengu and be able to access it at any time, but he did not expect that this study would only last three years.

An Yi pointed at Ren Gu inside the fence and said to An Jiu: "Don't be careless. This guy has been jumping up and down in the palace in the past few years, with obvious and hidden clues. I don't know how many people he knows. In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

"Brother, don't worry, there is nothing that Third Brother can't find out through hypnosis."

"By the way, Xiaojiu, where did your third brother go?" An Yi realized that it had been so long and An San hadn't come back yet.

"Brother, this kid." An Jiu also pointed at the people inside and said, "Today, Third Brother asked me something. There is a book on martial arts and mental techniques in his room. I read it before and it was about Qi training. Because I wanted to learn from him, I also practiced with him in the past two years, and I didn’t feel any discomfort. But he actually said that the old eunuch in the cold palace would probe into his body when they met from time to time. After practicing this skill, To what extent? Third brother went to find the exercise book and said he wanted to find out the origin of the exercise."

An Jiu looked at An Yi with a bitter face: "I'm more worried now. If the old eunuch probes me, he and I will be a little different after all. Otherwise... I'll ask Eunuch Chen to do a favor? Go there. Power! Ah..."

An Yi slapped An Jiu on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? This can be done casually."

"It's not like you don't know. I don't care about this. Eunuch Feng still has good medicine on hand. It will be cured in less than two days."

An Yi was furious with An Jiu. He pointed at him and wanted to curse a few words, but he couldn't say it: "His Highness will not agree, and you have given up on this. Your third brother will definitely find a way. If not, Just try to find a way to avoid the old eunuch's detection. Don't work all day long. If you think about it, it will come out at once. If you really get that knife, what will you do in the future? "

An Jiu smiled, looked at An Yi and said with a playful smile: "Don't be so sullen every day, why can't you handle it? With my relationship with Xiao Ba, when she becomes the head of the First Palace, she will have to give it to me no matter what." Not a general manager."

An Yi reached out and touched the place where An Jiu had just been beaten by him and said softly: "What a stupid boy."

An Jiu didn't know that An Ba had sacrificed himself because of the prince's plan. Before leaving, he begged the prince for Xiao Jiu. If one day Xiao Jiu was useless, let him leave and let him be free. The only woman among the secret guards of the East Palace in Anbali, Xiaojiu can be said to have been brought up by her. The prince agreed to Anba's request. So several of their other secret guards often told Xiaojiu that when Xiaojiu grew up, they would sell him houses, buy land, marry him, and have children. So that they can live an upright life under the sun for their brothers.

An Yi was thinking when a person suddenly walked in outside the door. Although this person was dressed as a secret guard, his face was full of bookishness. If he had put on a long gown, he must be an elegant scholar.

"The leader is here, and I'm looking for you." This person is the ANSA, and he has a few books in his hand.

"What happened?"

"Look, leader, this is the technique I took from that kid's room. This technique is called Swallowing the Sky." An San handed an old, well-thumbed book to An Yi.

"This set of exercises as a whole seems to be about regulating internal energy, absorbing the essence of the surrounding world, and nourishing the body and mind. It does not have any special attack ability. According to what is written in this exercise, in the end it is just a way to strengthen the body. But I just found out that this technique called Swallowing Heaven is actually a forbidden technique."

"Forbidden technique? How do you say it?" After hearing An San's words, An Yi was also very surprised.

An San took a very yellow and shabby book, pointed to one of the pages and said to An Yi and An Jiu: "I found it in this book that records strange people and strange things and rumors about the world. It is said to be hundreds of years ago. , a Taoist nun created this skill, which is divided into nine levels. It can collect the energy of heaven and earth and nourish oneself. The original intention is to achieve the state of unity of heaven, earth and man. "

"Then isn't this a Taoist mental method? Why is it called a skill and has such a straightforward name?" An Jiu asked in confusion.
