After leaving the Jokhang Temple and going down the mountain, An Huajin was riding on a horse, humming a tune in a good mood.
Gu Qingyan listened carefully and saw that it was the military song of the Nanyang Army. He smiled softly, "Very happy?"
"Well, I'm so happy." This year's military pay has been settled, how can I not be happy?
"Even if the Jokhang Temple is willing to donate, I'm afraid His Majesty will not easily allow the money to be sent to Nanyang." Gu Qingyan didn't want to dampen her good mood, but he still had to let her understand the issues before her in advance.
An Huajin nodded, "I know."
If your Majesty had agreed easily, he would not have been fussy about the military pay he had given to Nanyang these years. Your Majesty was not only afraid that the Nanyang army would be scattered, but also afraid that the Nanyang army would be too strong. He only wanted the Nanyang army to starve to death. Grandpa is not in good health this year. If things are like in previous years,
They are also worried about the pay of the Nanyang Army, how can their bodies and bones survive?
So, no matter what, she had to get His Majesty to agree.
"After returning to the capital, I will accompany you to the palace to see His Majesty." Gu Qingyan said warmly, "If Your Majesty thinks that the poisoned tea case is the work of spies from Nan Qi and Nan Liang, I believe that Your Majesty will agree to send this military salary as soon as possible."
Going to Nanyang."
An Huajin laughed, "His Majesty must be restless again."
Gu Qingyan sighed, "A Jokhang Temple is so luxurious with only incense. The Nanyang army guards the territory for the country and is loyal and on duty, but it has to worry about military pay every year. This is the sorrow of the great Chu."
"Sad or not, Nanyang is used to it." An Huajin circled the horse's reins, "His Majesty should really go to Nanyang to have a look. After walking out of the palace, he should know how difficult it is for the Nanyang army to guard the border."

"Your Majesty knows." Gu Qingyan said.
An Huajin shut up.
Yes, His Majesty knew, but he didn't pay the soldiers even though he knew it. She raised her eyes and glanced at the sky, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. It's still early. Let's hurry up so that we can enter the palace after His Majesty takes a nap. At that time, he had just woken up.
, sober mind."
Gu Qingyan smiled and nodded.
The two of them had a slow journey when they came here, but they went very quickly when they came back.
Half an hour later, when I arrived at the city gate, I saw that the four gates of the capital were tightly closed, and the city gate was heavily guarded. Only people allowed in but not allowed out.
An Huajin was surprised, "No way? Your Majesty blocked the city gate because of my case?"
Gu Qingyan recalled the two messages he received from Eunuch Zhang earlier when he was having a fast meal at Jokhang Temple. He smiled and said, "If you can successfully get your Majesty to agree to send the military salary to Nanyang, you have to thank the Seventh Prince.
."
"Huh? What does it have to do with him?" An Huajin raised his eyebrows. She was not willing to deal with her seventh cousin. In the past, he ignored her cousin indifferently, as if he didn't bother to be with her, but now he does.
It annoys me to death to worry about this and that.
Gu Qingyan lowered his voice, "After receiving the news that someone poisoned you at the foot of the Jokhang Temple, His Majesty was furious when he heard about it. He remembered the case of the eldest prince secretly making weapons, and angrily went to see the eldest prince. The seventh prince happened to enter the palace.
, mentioned that it might be the work of spies from Nan Qi and Nan Liang, and stopped His Majesty from going to see the eldest prince."
An Huajin suddenly realized, "Oh, so my seventh cousin gave His Majesty a dose of vaccination in advance. If we go into the palace and talk about it, Your Majesty might really believe it. Then we should really thank him."
The two rode into the city and headed straight for the palace.
The outer city is under martial law, and the inner city has five gates closed.
An Huajin snorted coldly, "Is Your Majesty so afraid? I'm not dead."
Gu Qingyan pursed her lips and whispered, "Fortunately, you have the ability to identify poisons. I was also a little scared at the time."
An Huajin turned his head to look at him and suddenly smiled, "Are you also afraid of my death? Without this fiancée, there are still women lining up from the east city to the west city waiting to marry you. What is Mr. Gu Qi afraid of? It sounds strange
It’s touching.”
Gu Qingyan looked at her seriously, "I still like to hear you call me Huai'an."
An Huajin: "..."
Who wants to tell you what to call this?
She moved her head in silence, "If you help me solve the military salary problem next year..."
"You can call me whatever I like to hear?" Gu Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
An Huajin: "..."
Impossible!
The two entered the inner city by virtue of their identities, came to the palace and handed over the sign, and were led all the way to the outside of the South Study Room.
An Huajin's guess was good. The emperor had just woken up from his nap. The emperor did not sleep well during today's nap. The words of the seventh prince kept popping up in his mind, making him very irritable.
Hearing that An Huajin and Gu Qingyan had returned to Beijing to meet together, the emperor suddenly became energetic and said, "Xuan!"
Eunuch Zhang came out of the south study room, met the two of them, greeted them with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has a headache and is not in a good mood."
Gu Qingyan nodded slightly.
An Huajin looked at Eunuch Zhang carefully, and then at Gu Qingyan, thinking that everyone said that Eunuch Zhang, whom His Majesty relied on the most, could not be bribed by anyone, but she saw otherwise. This was not a fight with Gu Qingyan.
Are you flirting?
Eunuch Zhang respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "Seventh Young Master please, please please Little Princess."
Gu Qingyan stretched out her hand and flicked An Huajin's forehead gently, "Stop thinking about it, go in."
An Huajin only felt the cool fingertips on her forehead. She didn't feel offended, but felt that it felt good. Sure enough, the temperature of the fingers of a long and good-looking person also relieved the fever. She raised her head and asked, "
I'm probably overheated, maybe suffering from heat stroke, how about you play me again?"
Gu Qingyan: "..."
He laughed out loud and said in a low voice, "Don't be naughty. This is the door of the south study. If you don't want His Majesty to tie us up and get married immediately, just be good."
An Huajin: "..."
She...she was wrong!
She is so beautiful and seductive! How could she be so stupid to be seduced by him all of a sudden? She doesn’t want to get married! She wants to break off the engagement!
Eunuch Zhang smiled and opened the door of the royal study, opened the curtain, An Huajin raised his feet, and entered the south study before Gu Qingyan. There was an ice basin in the south study, and the cool air in the room made An Huajin feel better.
Suddenly I really woke up.
She changed her chaotic thoughts and walked up to the emperor with an aggrieved face. While greeting the emperor, she said angrily, "Your Majesty, the security within a hundred miles of Beijing is too bad, right? I almost died in Jokhang."
At the foot of the temple mountain. If I die, my grandfather will definitely not survive. Tell me, who is this person who wants to harm me, my grandfather, the Nanyang Army, and His Majesty?"
She mentioned four evils in a row, and named the key points of the last evil.
The emperor's face became gloomy again, and he said angrily, "What a thief. Fortunately, you are fine."
An Huajin nodded, "Fortunately, my grandfather taught me how to prevent being framed since I was a child. Otherwise, this time, the thieves used such a poisonous method of death. Once I got involved, there was no way I could be saved. In Nanyang these years,
, there have been so many assassinations and murders, I thought that when I arrived in the capital, under the emperor’s feet, I would always be safe, but I didn’t expect that I still can’t take it lightly.”
The emperor stood up and said, "What? In these years, you have been murdered in Nanyang?"
