"Ruo'er still cares about me the most." Yan Yuan gently stroked Lao Tie's little head.
Eunuch Liu felt his scalp tightening as he watched the emperor petting a venomous snake like a cat.
It was night, just after the second watch, and the old iron that was originally wrapped around Yan Yuan's wrist fell to the fold with a snap.
Yan Yuan chuckled softly: "I know, I'll take a rest after reading this book."
Lao Tie squirmed and crawled to the side. Yan Yuan also kept his promise and went back to his dormitory to rest after reading the memorial.
Around midnight, Yan Yuan only heard a pop, and then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the yard. Yan Yuan opened his eyes and woke up instantly. He saw a hole the size of a walnut left on the window of the dormitory, where he had been entangled.
The old iron on my wrist has disappeared.
Yan Yuan raised his hand to take the sword and walked out of the dormitory. Two black-clothed assassins fought with the secret guards. One of the assassins was already shot in the head. The movement just now must have been caused by him.
When Chongming saw his master coming out, he quickly protected him: "Master, it's just a few defeated soldiers. They will be dealt with soon. You can go back to the dormitory."
Yan Yuan stood under the eaves of the corridor when a sharp sword roared towards him with the sound of breaking wind. Yan Yuan had already tightened his grip on the sword. If the arrow came closer, he would be able to ward it off with his sword.
At the critical moment, there was only a clang. The arrow seemed to hit the iron plate, making a crisp sound. Lao Tie used his head to 'receive' the sharp sword, and a burst of yellow smoke was shaken at the moment of impact. The arrow's arrow
The grooves opened in the rod contained poisonous powder.
Chongming quickly protected his master and returned to the dormitory. A secret guard who was close by was touched by the smoke and fell to the ground instantly.
The assassin who was hiding in the dark and making a sneak attack with a poisonous arrow then nocked an arrow to his bow and aimed at Yan Yuan who was retreating to the palace. Before the arrow was shot, a bloody hole was pierced by the old iron between his eyebrows, and he fell down from the palace wall with a bang.
.
"Dark green." The dark red pupils turned red.
An Qing is good at hiding and sneak attacks, and the poisonous powder that will be poisoned no matter it is touched or inhaled is their "trump card" in this operation. Now that the trump card is gone, An Chi realizes that the situation is over, and the movement of swinging the sword is a bit desperate and lonely.
Brave.
Previously, Anchi was sent out by Yan Cang to investigate where Prince Donghuanyun had been in Nanrong, what he had done, and whether there was anything unusual. Anchi took three people along the way and found out that they had appeared near Yunling Mountain.
, that place is very close to Yanluo Mountain, I’m afraid it’s not a coincidence...
Therefore, Anchi hurriedly returned to the palace to report. Only to find that the Shengqian Palace was empty. Even the close attendant Fuhai, the Anyin guards around the emperor, and even the imperial guards who were responsible for the emperor's safety were missing.
Anchi realized that something was fishy, compiled intelligence from all over the place, and judged that something had happened to their emperor. They came for a sneak attack tonight. Although the poison used was overbearing, it was not fatal for a while, and would only make people's skin ulcer. Just to control Yan Yuan,
He asked about the whereabouts of the emperor. But he never thought that he would be captured before he succeeded.
When the Anchi's sword cut off Anchi's hamstring, he used the sword to support his shaky body, bit the poison sac hidden in his teeth, and fell to the ground.
"Chief Red." Another assassin was distracted and was caught by the secret guard. He immediately lowered his jaw to prevent him from biting the poison sac.
Chongming first asked people to search the area around the Wuxia Palace, and then looked at the secret guard who had just been exposed to the poisonous powder - he was still alive, but the hand contaminated by the poisonous powder had turned blue and purple and began to fester.
Yan Yuan asked Eunuch Liu to send the poison doctor to diagnose and treat the secret guard. When he turned around, he saw Lao Tie crawling out of the lotus pond and took a bath for himself. Yan Yuan quickly wrapped Lao Tie with a handkerchief and wiped him dry.
, check carefully for any injuries.
If it hadn't been for this little thing, if he had waited for the poisonous arrow to come close and then fended it off, he would have suffered the same fate as the secret guard.
Having seen Lao Tie's ability just now, Eunuch Liu said sincerely: "Your Majesty, is Master Tie okay? Do you want the poison doctor to take a look?"
Lao Tie swung the tip of his tail: The poisonous powder can't hurt Lao Tie, his skin is thick.
"It looks fine now. I'll send it to Ruo'er tomorrow." Yan Yuan took Lao Tie back to the dormitory to rest.
Three days after the suspension of the court, Yan Yuan came to the court in person. After all the civil and military officials had kowtowed, although they did not dare to look directly at Tian Yan, it was very scary to look at him briefly - he saw that the emperor was not only much thinner, but his black hair had also turned white...
All the officials did not dare to express their anger. The emperor was so sad because of the death of Queen Wende, and he must be in a bad mood. If he does anything wrong, he will definitely be doomed.
Eunuch Liu said sharply: "If there is any problem, please report it early. If there is no problem, leave the court."
The Minister of Rites came out of the procession, his legs were trembling: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, the underground palace over the Imperial Mausoleum has been properly arranged. Qin Tian Jian has also chosen two burial days. Please consult Your Majesty for details."
The Minister of Rites presented the memorial, and Eunuch Liu took it and submitted it to the emperor for review. Generally, the memorial is held on the seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first, and twenty-eighth days. The Qintian Supervisor chose the seventh and twenty-first days.
days.
"The Queen has come quickly and likes peace and quiet. She can stay in mourning for seven days." Yan Yuan put the memorial aside.
"I obey the decree." The Minister of Rites breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor's face was obviously not as gloomy as before, but the sense of oppression was stronger.
Others had no intention to report, so Eunuch Liu announced his withdrawal from the court.
Three days later, Emperor Wen personally helped Empress Wende's coffin into the imperial mausoleum. Although this was unreasonable, seeing the emperor's green hair turn white, even the censors at the censorship platform did not dare to say anything. Although this matter
It's not in line with etiquette, but it's not a major issue that affects the country. If you lose your head for this, it won't be remembered in history, and it's not worthy.
After Queen Wende was buried, peace returned to the palace. On the most prosperous Zhuque Street in the capital, a shop called Yunzhuanglou quietly opened.
Rouge and gouache are sold on the first floor, clothes, shoes and socks are sold on the second floor, and head and face jewelry are sold on the third floor.
If you spend more than 100 taels in the shop, you can go to the rest area on the fourth floor and get a cup of milk tea with the "receipt". If you spend more than 300 taels, you can get a delicious pastry. If you spend more than 500 taels, you can get a perfume sample.
.And the milk tea, cakes and perfume samples are different every day.
Although the rest area on the fourth floor is a whole room, it is properly separated by gauze curtains and screens, which is very suitable for little sisters to sit and talk. There are also some quite exquisite umbrellas and round fans on display in the rest area, which are inlaid with gold and jade.
, with beaded jade tassels, which makes people fall in love with them when they see them...
However, these things can only be purchased by members. In addition to the styles shown, you can also have the artist draw new patterns specially for them, but the price is more expensive. It is called 'private customization', and everything is unique.
of.
This Yunzhuang Shop is also very considerate. Since the Empress is mourning, the clothes sold are all light and plain colors, which are very popular among ladies.
There are also ladies who like the pastries and milk tea provided on the fourth floor and want to buy them separately. But the shopkeeper said that these are only for gift and not for sale. If the ladies want to eat, in three months, a Jian Mingxuan will be opened opposite Yunzhuang Building with a special restaurant.
