many worries

The night was getting deeper.

Liuyu didn't even light a lantern, so he paid the gatekeepers with money. He walked along the path to hide his eyes and ears, bypassing the patrol route of the guards that he usually wrote down, and walked to the back of a rockery not far from Shenyun Palace, where there was a The cave with a hidden entrance can barely accommodate three or four people.He lifted the cover of the evergreen vines, bent down and got in, and there were already two figures inside.

Reflecting the faint lights, Liu Yu could clearly see the faces of those two people, they were the blessings of Shen Yungong.

Dequan looked impatient, Shenyun Palace is now tightly controlled, even if the two brothers sneak out, it will take a lot of effort, if another eunuch Sheng Hai finds out, it will not be so easy to deal with.

Liuyu respectfully kowtowed three times to Defu Dequan, but Defu ignored them, accepted the bows coldly, and asked: "You came to deliver persimmons the other day, saying that you had something important to report. Our family will listen to it today."

The lights swayed in the wind, and impatiently, he interjected, "Brother, he is a little thing in the imperial dining room, he can know what is important."

Liu Yu kowtowed and knelt down, he adjusted his breath, and said calmly: "The slave is a little eunuch, and he doesn't know any shocking secrets, but this matter is very important to the two father-in-laws."

He paused, then continued: "It's Liangyu's business. He's not from the Imperial Dining Room."

Dequan was stunned, but Defu smiled, "Is it possible that our family doesn't know this? Digging three feet into the imperial dining room, we couldn't find a trace. It must be someone from somewhere else. Why, do you know?"

Liu Yu raised his head, and his voice became softer, "The servant followed behind Xin, just to find out where the servant is for the two father-in-laws, so that the whole father-in-law can get what he wanted. The identity was kept secret, and the servant inquired around for a long time, only to find out that the little eunuch is called Liangyu, who is from the Taiqing Palace, and is the only little eunuch accompanying the deposed prince."

Defu was startled, then smiled suddenly, even his overly mean face showed some joy, he patted Quan Quan on the shoulder, "My good brother, you have chosen a good candidate."

What was the reason why Emperor Yuande was angry with Concubine Feng Gui, even though this matter was kept a secret from the outside world, but sitting in the position of blessing is also a matter in Shen Yun Palace, there is always someone who knows.The reason was that a corpse was found in the small pavilion of the original East Palace, and it was related to Concubine Feng Gui, which angered Shengyi.The abolished prince was originally a thorn in Concubine Feng Gui's heart, and now it's time to pull it out.

Defu is very willing to solve problems for Concubine Feng Gui.The most important thing is to step down Sheng Hai, the other head of Shen Yun Palace.

The manager of Shenyun Palace is Li Liuhai, who is not young, and soon it will be time to retire.Defu Dequan came to Shenyun Palace very early, and climbed all the way to his current position as a eunuch since he was a child. Originally, he was supposed to take over the position of chief manager.But two years ago, another eunuch came suddenly, and Li Liuhai liked it very much. He even changed his name with a word from his own name, that is Sheng Hai.With Li Liuhai, Sheng Hai's arrogance was very strong, and now he almost overwhelmed the two eunuchs who grew up in Shenyun Palace.

This will not work.

Defu's thoughts changed, and he had already figured out how to operate this matter. He bent down and lifted Liuyu's chin vigorously, speaking in a soft tone, mixed with a hint of coldness, "What about you, little thing, take this News, what do you want to exchange with our family?"

Liuyu's neck was snapped, and the pain was severe, but he didn't move, looked at Defu and said: "I have always admired the two father-in-laws, and I want to come to Shenyun Palace to serve them around. Defu Gonggongren He is kind and open-minded, but Sheng Hai from Shenyun Palace doesn't understand that if he wants to fight with his father-in-law, this servant is willing to do his best for him."

The matter of Liangyu was just a stepping stone, he finally waited for an opportunity.

Dequan finally got the news of Liangyu, and he didn't have time to go around with a little eunuch like Liuyu, he kicked Liuyu's knee and bent, and said in a strange way: "Come on, grandpas have heard so many good things and lies, how about Tell something funny."

Liu Yu's eyes were burning, and his heart was full of ambition, "I want to fight, but if I don't fight, how can I have a future? I don't want to stay in the imperial dining room and stay with the smoke and firewood all day, wasting my life in vain. "

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, he has always understood this truth.This is not always the case in the palace, everyone wants to climb up, even if they are stepping on the blood of others, what does it matter?

Defu raised his eyebrows, and laughed sharply and lightly, "You are a clever boy, and you are right about your cleverness. What Shenyun Palace lacks most is you. Recently, our mother lost a hair comber. You go back to practice, our family picked you out of the imperial dining room, and you will be the first godson I adopted. From now on, wealth and glory will be indispensable."

He knew that Liuyu was not a law-abiding character, but after all, he was still young and lacked smart and capable people around him, so he could control it.

Liu Yu got the positive news, kowtowed a few more times, and hurriedly went back in the middle of the night while no one noticed.

Dequan still had the pretty face he met that day in his heart, smiled obsequiously, pasted it towards Defu, and asked, "Brother, I know you have your own plan, that one, that one named Liangyu..."

Defu hated him for being incompetent, but he was still soft-hearted, and said in a cold voice: "Restrain yourself, from childhood to adulthood, will my brother prevent you from getting what you want? Just wait. "

Their voices gradually disappeared into the night, and they could no longer be heard clearly.

In the Taiqing Palace.

Standing in front of the window lattice, Jing Yan put on a thin coat, did not light a lantern, but took advantage of the moonlight to unhurriedly sharpen the wood carving in his hand, and it already had a rough shape.

Xiao Shishi hid in the shadows, and reported the recent events in a low voice, "The little general's name is Xia Xueqing, and he found an opportunity to enter the barracks. He asked someone to bring a message, saying that he was in southern Xinjiang, but he missed Saibei very much. Feng Feng, I don’t know His Highness, how should we deal with the Saibei Army?”

Because the matter was related to Chen Sang, it was too important, and I was afraid that there would be any mistakes, so I couldn't write it with pen and paper, but Xiao Shishi personally reported it.But when these words were spoken, Xiao Shishi still couldn't help being overly nervous.

Jing Yan raised the things in his hands, looked at the bright moon for a moment, wiped away some sawdust, and said with a tilted head: "The Chen family has more than a hundred people, and they are all dead, and Chen Sang is also dead. , There is no such person in the world anymore. Xia Xueqing is from southern Xinjiang, and he has a deep blood feud with the barbarians, and the southern border has not been pacified, how can he get the military power in the northern part of the border? What's more, the northern border needs to be united, and no second person can be tolerated."

The Chen family has been operating in Saibei for many years, and has promoted and trained countless generals, who are the backbone of the Saibei Army.Even if Emperor Yuande wants to completely eradicate the influence of the Chen family, he must have some scruples.After all, if it is to be achieved overnight, and there is no one in the northern part of the border, the Hu people must break through the border and invade. At that time, gunpowder will be everywhere, the people will not be able to live, and the loss will be even greater.

However, Emperor Yuande's nature was suspicious and uncertain, and regarding military power, it was absolutely impossible to let Saibei continue to be placed in the hands of a group of generals who belonged to the Chen family.Even if the Chen family is dead, these generals will never be inseparable from the Chen family. They will either die slowly and one by one at the hands of Emperor Yuande, or follow Jing Yan, the deposed prince.After all, even if Emperor Yuande dies young, if Feng Nannan's child ascends the throne, Saibei will still be a thorn in the heart of the new emperor.

The best and only choice now is to follow the deposed prince, but with Chen Sang it will be different.If there is a choice, there will be differences and disputes.

Jing Yan paused, as if he was waiting for Xiao Shishi to figure it out, and smiled at him, "I thought you all should understand that Chen Sang can't live."

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Xiao Shishi's forehead, and when it landed on the ground, there was a slight sound.

He raised his head slightly, and he could see the prince standing in the moonlight, only half of his side face could be seen, the prince's brows were lowered, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, the faint gaze was like a cold, blood-stained blade, capable of cutting flesh, Pierce the bone.

Xiao Shishi's back was completely soaked, and he didn't dare to look at each other again.He couldn't help thinking, the crown prince is only fifteen years old, and his aura is restrained but astonishing. At the moment just now, he thought he was facing Emperor Yuande.

Jing Yan looked at the half-carved wood carving with satisfaction, seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "There are two guards who are always at the door, one is called Lu Zhao, I just think he looks familiar, you go and send someone to check his life experience. "

Empress Chen had discovered since Jingyan was a child that the prince's talent was truly astonishing. Not only was he precocious and sensitive, he could perceive the subtle emotional changes of the people around him, but he could also remember all possible useful people or things in the harem before the Qing Dynasty.Even if you have read the map once, you will not get lost with your eyes closed.

There is only one shortcoming, even if he is outstanding, he is too young.

Xiao Shishi took the order, and said again: "Your Highness, where is Concubine Feng Gui?"

Jing Yan smiled, "What do you care about her? She and the Feng family are just dogs. Now they have just been kicked twice by the master, and they are trying to win back their favor. They can't even take care of the harem, let alone the court. "

His opponent was never Feng Nannan, nor was it the faction of the Feng family who formed a clique for personal gain in the court, but Emperor Yuande.

It always has been.

After Xiao Shishi left, most of Jing Yan's wood carvings were completed.Qiao Yu's bedroom is not far from here, and he can vaguely see the dim yellow light from the thin window paper, which was turned on not long ago.

Jing Yan put down the wood carving in his hand and walked over there.When he opened the door and entered, Qiao Yu was huddled under the blanket, concentrating on doing something. The lantern was not placed on a wooden stand as usual, but hung on the bedside, with a layer of unlined clothes covering it, probably to hide it from people.

He walked lightly and approached, but before Qiao Yu noticed, he suddenly lifted the clothes on the paper lantern and asked aloud, "What are you doing? You're sneaking around. You don't want me to find out. You even use your clothes to cover the lantern. If you leave Water, can you run too fast?"

Qiao Yu was startled, and the movement of her hand was a little bigger, the needle pierced her fingertips, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
