Yan Xifeng chuckled, picked up the teacup and said, "It's not that I don't dare, but Yan is a little worried."
Yuyao asked: "What are you worried about?"
Yan Xifeng smiled and said: "Behind Zhou Hao are the second princess and the second prince. The king and the second princess have a very good relationship, and the second prince is deeply favored. If I offend them both, I'm afraid there will be no good end."
"When the time comes, if the king, Long Yan, becomes furious, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the empress to speak."
What Yan Xifeng meant was whether the queen would use him as a spear wielder.
When Shi Le was angry and settling the scores, the queen suddenly stopped caring about her, so wouldn't Yan Xifeng have been taken advantage of?
Yuyao said very confidently: "Commander Yan, don't worry, your Majesty is not a person who crosses the river and burns down the bridge."
"Commander Yan has made great achievements, and the empress will definitely praise you."
"Moreover, as the commander of the imperial army, Zhou Hao colluded with the prince and was disrespectful to the queen. He deserves death."
Yan Xifeng knows what Yuyao said.
As a foreign minister, especially an army general, you must keep a distance from the prince, otherwise you will be suspected of forming a clique.
It's okay for civil servants to form cliques, they can only build momentum in the court.
It is very serious if military generals form cliques and may start a rebellion.
What Zhou Hao did violated a taboo in the DPRK.
"Zhou Hao was ordered to follow the second prince. This matter will be discussed separately." www.八一zw.????m
Yan Xifeng said lightly.
It is of course a serious crime for military generals to form cliques, but Zhou Hao was following Shi Le's orders this time, and it was not considered a clique.
Yu Yao sneered and said: "The king asked Zhou Hao to assist the second prince in guarding the royal city to prevent Long Chengen from sneaking in."
"But as for Zhou Hao, I didn't see him guarding Long Chengen. I only saw him forming a clique for personal gain. He actually conspired against the queen. Isn't this treason?"
The mouth is on Yuyao, no matter what you say.
As for whether Shi Le believes it or not, and how he will deal with it, that is another matter.
"How is the Queen?"
Yan Xifeng suddenly asked.
Yuyao had expected that Yan Xifeng would ask this question.
If the queen is really dying, no fool would follow a dying man.
Yuyao did not answer, but said: "Commander Yan, will you still patrol tonight?"
Yan Xifeng shook his head slightly, Yu Yao smiled and said: "Then please Commander Yan come with me. The Queen can see you in person. Commander Yan can see how the Queen is doing in person."
Yan Xifeng was slightly surprised and said, "Is your Majesty okay?"
Yuyao smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's okay."
Yan Xifeng knew in his heart that all this was a conspiracy.
Yuqing said that the queen was poisoned, which was a lie just to lure Shi Yuncheng into taking the bait.
Yan Xifeng asked: "The empress said she wanted to see me?"
Yuyao asked back: "What did I say?"
Yan Xifeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you go."
Yan Xifeng wanted to ask the queen face to face to see what she meant.
The queen herself said that communicating with Yuyao was two different things.
Moreover, Yan Xifeng also wanted to test whether Yuyao really wanted to take him to see the queen.
Yuyao was probably cheating, and she bet that Yan Xifeng would not go away.
Yuyao stood up and said: "It's getting late, let's go."
Yuyao was very straightforward, and Yan Xifeng immediately said: "I'll change my clothes, aunt will wait a moment."
After saying that, Yan Xifeng went out and changed into black plain clothes.
The two of them came out of the house and walked along the path to the middle palace.
Both of them were masters, and they easily avoided the patrolling Wuhou and the Imperial Army, and arrived outside the side gate of the Central Palace.
Entering through the side door, Yu Yao led Yan Xifeng to a side room and sat down.
"Commander Yan, wait a moment, I'll go ask the queen to come over."
When they arrived at the middle palace, Yan Xifeng's attitude was much more respectful.
"Auntie, just go and I'll wait here."
Yuyao immediately walked to the bedroom.
When she pushed the door open and went in, she didn't see the queen. She thought the queen had fallen asleep first, so she slowed down and walked inside.
"Um..."
Yuyao heard a sound coming from behind the screen...
Yuyao was slightly startled and stopped on her feet.
There's something wrong with this sound.
"Um..."
Another sound came from behind the screen. This was indeed the queen's voice, but the sound of this sound...
Yuyao's heart was shocked: Could it be that Liu Feng was in the queen's bed?
After a while, Long Chen walked out from behind the screen, tying his belt as he walked.
The moment he saw Yuyao, Long Chen was stunned for a moment, and explained awkwardly: "I'll give you a massage."
Yuyao was even more embarrassed, she didn't know what to say.
"Yuyao."
The queen called out from behind the screen, and Yuyao immediately walked in quickly.
The queen was lying on the bed, with a blanket under her and her body smeared with grease.
"Empress."
In this situation, Yuyao didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong?"
The queen slowly sat up, and Yuyao quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Yan Xifeng is tempted, but he is worried about the empress crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and wants to listen to the empress in person."
Yuyao found that there was the most grease in the middle, and wondered what Liu Feng had done.
"Where are the people?"
Yuyao immediately replied: "In the side room at the back."
The queen said: "Hel me up."
Yuyao helped the queen get up, changed her clothes, dressed up, and wore her headdress...
By the time you're fully dressed, it's already time.
Yuyao held up a lantern, and the queen walked behind her, slowly arriving at the side room in the backyard.
Opening the door, Yan Xifeng immediately stood up and said: "General Yan Xifeng, I would like to pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years in good health."
The queen glanced at Yan Xifeng, nodded slightly and said, "No courtesy."
Yan Xifeng bowed slightly, never daring to straighten up and speak.
The queen sat down and Yuyao stood beside her.
"Yu Yao has said everything. This is what I mean. Does Commander Yan still have any doubts?"
Yan Xifeng bowed and said, "No more. I am willing to go through fire and water for the queen, even if I die."
The queen nodded slightly and said: "Okay, what happens tonight is only between you and me, no one else is allowed to know."
"Zhou Hao was extremely rebellious, relied on Shi Yuncheng, and intended to commit rebellion. His crime cannot be punished."
"You quietly take control of the Forbidden Army and listen to my instructions when the time comes."
Yan Xifeng worshiped: "The last general is Yi Zhi."
The queen stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Yuyao, please take Commander Yan back."
Yuyao bowed and said, "I accept the decree."
The queen herself carried the lantern and returned to the bedroom, while Yuyao took Yan Xifeng out.
Walking on the road, Yuyao said lightly: "Don't worry now."
Yan Xifeng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in good health, her steps are steady, and she is in good spirits. The rumors from the outside are all false."
From the moment the queen entered the room, Yan Xifeng had been looking at the queen's feet.
He did not dare to look directly at the queen's face, it would be disrespectful to do so.
Whether a person is in good health or not can be determined by whether his steps are steady or not.
People who are in good health walk steadily and walk like the wind.
People who are in poor health have a loose step and a light walk.
Therefore, Yan Xifeng has been looking at the queen's feet.
He found that the queen's steps were smooth and there was nothing wrong with her.
Yuyao sneered and said: "The news from the outside world is all released by us..."
Yan Xifeng suddenly understood and exclaimed: "The empress deliberately lured the snake out of the hole, and then took the opportunity to eradicate the rebellion."
Yu Yao nodded slightly and said: "Commander Yan is really smart. I will send him here. Don't forget what you said tonight."
As they talked, they arrived outside the palace.
Yan Xifeng bowed and said, "You must remember your Majesty's words."
After saying that, Yan Xifeng turned around and disappeared into the night.
