Hard to be a shadow guard

In the end, Xie Yiqian really didn't want to show his fatigue in front of his subordinates, so he waved his hands to make Tianren and Ying 33 retreat.

When Xie Yiqian was the only one left in the whole room, not only did his fatigue not get relieved, but on the contrary, he became more and more desolate and lonely.

Xie Yiqian leaned his head back on the chair, slightly bent the fingers of his right hand, and tapped lightly on the tabletop

Was it because he didn't notice something was wrong with Xuanying?Not necessarily.

Or it should be said that since his big wedding night, everything has developed in a direction he could not have expected, and it was also the scene he did not want to see the last time.

Once upon a time, Xie Yiqian hated Xuanying's self-assertion, even if Xuanying cured him of his love poison, he especially thought that Xuanying's status was low, and he couldn't bear the title of Princess Rui at all.

But after experiencing the latter incident, Xie Yiqian didn't even know when he changed his mind.

Is it the sentence "I will never give up" when I met Xuanying in Hehuawu?

Or was it the trace of emotion when Xuan Ying hugged her legs and cried bitterly, "Don't want him"?

Or the little things, the long-lasting heart of protecting the lord, and Xuanying's love for who doesn't know when it arose and how long it persisted?

If Xuan Ying really only had love for him, Xie Yiqian might not be tempted. After all, in the eyes of princes and nobles like them, love is the cheapest thing, not to mention that Xie Yiqian still bears a blood feud.

But friendship is different.

One word difference, ten thousand difference.

Xie Yiqian really couldn't see that the most loyal subordinate couldn't get what he asked for, let alone... that half-grown boy came back from the bloody battle for him, but he could only be disappointed again and again.

Especially in the past few months, Xie Yiqian's mind began to flash with mysterious shadows from time to time.

It's not because of his hard work when he practiced martial arts, or how chic he was when he faced the enemy, but because of the only two love affairs...

Xuan Ying's red eyes, only the reflection of Xie Yiqian in the blurred eyes, a little fear mixed with obsession is even more tasteful. .

There was also the redness of that young man's whole body, and no matter how embarrassing his speech posture, as long as Xie Yiqian dared to say it, Xuanying would dare to do it.

After careful calculation, this is Xie Yiqian's bullying, but this kind of secret evil taste often makes Xie Yiqian have a long aftertaste.

And all of this was the same after Xuan Ying got drunk.

Xie Yiqian could no longer see the flash of emotion in Xuanying's eyes, even if Xuanying didn't hide it well occasionally, it just passed by in a flash and could never be found again.

Of course, most of the time... he couldn't even find Xuan Ying's people.

Xie Yiqian became more and more unable to understand what Xuanying wanted to do.

Even if it is true as Gu Gu once warned him: "Xuanying seems to have thoughts of leaving the palace, the Lord should be careful in dealing with it."

Xie Yiqian didn't think that Xuanying could do something like betraying his master and surrendering to the enemy, and he was still walking on the street to show off like this.

In this way, what made Xuanying do such a rebellious thing?

While thinking about it, Xie Yiqian's brows were furrowed, and his fingers that were tapping on the tabletop also stopped, and he just stared at the wall not far away with his eyes blank, feeling at a loss in his heart.

"Xuanying...Xiaoying." Xie Yiqian called softly, but no one answered for a long time, so he could only curl his lips into a self-deprecating smile...

Three days later, the head of the Shadow Pavilion, together with Tian Ren and the other three shadow heads, went into the study of the Wangfu, and they came out one after another after a whole night's talk.

It's just that when they went out, the seriousness on everyone's face was different from that of the past. They looked at each other for a moment, then hurriedly left and went their separate ways, following the command of the Lord, and each went about their own business.

The next day, all the staff members of Prince Rui's Mansion entered and left the palace one after another, and many of Xie Yiqian's confidantes, including some trump cards that had never been revealed before, entered and left the palace one by one.

Some of the people who came out later had sad faces, some were happy, and most of them were expressionless, just obeying orders.

At the same time, people and horses changed inside and outside the Prince Liang's mansion.

Lin Feng recalled the news from the spies in his mind. While deducing the reliability of the news, he hesitated between two completely different options.

Until Xuan Ying followed An Yi An Er to greet him, Lin Feng looked at Xuan Ying, his eyes flickering, and finally he slapped the table suddenly: "Just do it! I have waited enough!"

The blaze and madness that flashed in his eyes darkened his heart, and he was worried, but Xuanying really cared, only to hear King Liang say: "Everything is ready, and I will go into the palace with this king to see my father in five days. "

Xuanying's eyes lit up instantly!

The rest of the princes couldn't understand what the two princes were doing, and they deliberately got involved, but both Xie Yiqian and Lin Feng had always acted alone, unlike the other princes.

In the end, the other princes discussed together: "Yes, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let's just sit back and catch the fisherman!"

The silent gunpowder has slowly risen, and the people in Wangjing City are still living the life of sunrise and sunset. Once the curfew is reached, they never go out again, and they don't feel the turbulent waves in Wangjing City at all.

As time passed day by day, the air in Beijing became somewhat tense.

The emperor contracted a cold two days ago, a minor illness that should have been cured with a little self-cultivation, but now for some reason, the wind and cold not only did not heal, but also aggravated a lot.

The high fever for several days made the emperor feel bad all over, so he simply stopped to rest. If he didn't worry about his children, he would not even be willing to review the memorial.

But he didn't know if it was the emperor's delusion, he always felt that more and more princes came to visit in the past few days, even King Rui, who had nothing to do with him, came to visit every now and then.

The emperor didn't feel that this was the discovery of everyone's conscience to serve the monarch.

On the contrary, the anomalies of these people caused the emperor to hold on to his serious illness, secretly summoned the general of the Habayashi Army, and gave them careful instructions for a long time, so that he felt a little relieved.

A few days later, night.

When the gate of the palace was about to be locked, it was Xie Yiqian who rushed to see him.

The emperor thought that King Rui was here to show courteousness again, but he had no good intentions inside.

Who knew that when Xie Yiqian stepped into the hall with his front foot, he shouted loudly with his back foot; "Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

Xie Yiqian looked flustered, sweat dripped from his forehead when he came running, he stumbled all the way to the emperor, but he didn't even bother to salute, his mouth was full of panic: "Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that King Liang His Highness has turned against him and is rushing towards the palace with private soldiers, he, he wants to usurp the throne!"

After saying a word, Xie Yiqian finally had time to rest, but the emperor at this time was already frightened by the sudden news.

"What did you say..." The emperor couldn't believe it, but with Xie Yiqian's intermittent explanation and affirmation, a burst of fear came to his mind.

"Come on, come on! Go and call the Yulin Army for me, go and call General Long for me, escort, escort!" He suddenly sat up from the dragon bed, leaning on the corner of the bed and shouting loudly.

Let's not talk about the mood of the palace people who heard this, but the emperor who has been seriously ill for many days seems to be stimulated, and his whole body is in high spirits.

With the emperor personally dispatching to sit in the town, regardless of whether it is true or false, only a quarter of an hour later, the general in command of the Habayashi Army came with an army.

When many generals of the Yulin Army came out of the emperor's bedroom one after another, Xie Yiqian watched the whole process. Although his face was expressionless, his heart... was still uncontrollably moved.

Everything was just as Xie Yiqian said, just waiting for the time to pass by, the emperor became even more anxious, and even doubted Xie Yiqian's words.

But at the next moment, the eunuch outside the palace suddenly barged in with a plop: "Your Majesty, King Liang has barged in!"

The emperor suddenly stood up, he took a few breaths, then rushed out without saying a word,

Waiting for the emperor and Xie Yiqian to walk outside the palace one after another, on the square in front of the palace, under the sparkling light of the fire, we could see soldiers and horses from both sides confronting each other in the distance.

Lin Feng held an epee in his hand and was wearing armor. Not long ago, "Eliminate the Thieves Qingjun", after encountering the Habayashi Army sent by the emperor, it looked so ridiculous again.

"Ni Ni Ni...Ni Zi!" The emperor kept panting, and behind him, hundreds of Yulin soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder.

But what Lin Feng couldn't ignore the most was Xie Yiqian who was standing beside the emperor, and the smirk on the corner of his mouth made Lin Feng's eyes hurt.

Everything seems to have an explanation——

It's no wonder that the news of forced palace came out inexplicably from Prince Rui's mansion, no wonder why the other party couldn't bear it after several years of recuperation?

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, Xie Yiqian had no intention of fighting against the imperial power.

At least in the past few years, Xie Yiqian really couldn't find a way to overthrow the emperor in a legitimate way. As for forcing the palace and so on, it was the Qing Dynasty of Prince Rui's mansion, and it must not be destroyed by Xie Yiqian.

But the emperor can't move, can't Liang Wang?

If it hadn't been for King Liang's win over Prince Rui's Mansion and not killing him, maybe the series of tragedies that followed would never have happened.

The emperor will not find the sharp blade of Dongrui Palace, the old Ruiwang couple will not die tragically, Xie Yiqian will not take the responsibility of revenge at a young age...

Lin Feng can't be considered the culprit, but he can't escape the name of a fuse.

But now, with the help of the false news that spread, it finally attracted Liang Wang's hands.

With the emperor's previous suspicions ahead, facing the thousands of private soldiers brought by the king of Liang, the hat of treason cannot escape.

Not to mention that Lin Feng was trying to usurp the throne in the name of "Qing Emperor's side".

Liang Wang is a man with ambition and strategy, but he lacks a little patience, and his joy of talking has become his biggest shortcoming.

Lin Feng looked around at the Habayashi Army on the left and right, and then at the private soldiers he had brought. To be honest...if this was the case, perhaps Lin Feng would have a greater advantage.

But as Lin Feng's eyes fell on Xie Yiqian, the emperor's curse still echoed in his ears, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Only less than half a quarter of an hour later, the atmosphere became more tense.

Lin Feng quickly let go of his five fingers holding the sword, only to hear a crisp sound, and the sword fell to the ground.

Lin Feng burst out laughing suddenly: "Hahahahaha, amazing, amazing! I'm ashamed of myself!" He pointed at Xie Yiqian, laughing until half a drop of physiological tears appeared in the corner of his eyes.
