Yue Rong was so anxious that his head was sweating, he raised his hand to get to know Mr. Yu.

But Yue Ming saw Xie Yan's sharp and cold eyes, and reached out to stop him: "Don't worry, the master hasn't spoken yet!"

"Mr. Yu is really amazing. After all these years, you still recognize me." Xie Yan's thin lips curled into a cold arc, not hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.

Mr. Yu laughed softly, now that he has no way out, he might as well say it happily: "Back then, I searched the entire East Palace, but I never found your bones. At that time, everyone said that a three-year-old The bones of the [-]-year-old child had been burned long ago in that fire. The emperor didn’t believe it, and I didn’t believe it, but none of us thought that you not only escaped, but also stayed under the emperor’s nose for so long! He even I still think you are the most trusted minister in his life!"

He laughed out loud at this.

"It's really ridiculous! He has been sending shadow guards to investigate your whereabouts secretly for more than ten years, but he still has no clue. Who is helping you? The Lu family? No, the Lu family does not have such a great ability, it is the Pei family !" When he said this, he said clearly, "No wonder, no wonder you care so much about that girl!"

Xie Yan lowered his eyes: "You also sent the people who went to Jiangnan at that time?"

"Jiangnan..." Mr. Yu muttered this word, and a look of coldness appeared in his eyes, "You took all the things in that private treasury!"

When he spoke, he kept staring at Xie Yan with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I didn't find anything during my trip to the south of the Yangtze River." Mr. Yu shook his head with a wry smile, "If I hadn't seen your physical skills just now, I suddenly thought of the prince...I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized you, you are so old. Be like your mother."

"As expected of the prince's child." He sighed, "The emperor has occupied this position for more than ten years, and it's time to return it."

"And I should pay the price for the choice I made back then."

After all, without waiting for Xie Yan to make a move, he took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and took his own life.

The blood spurted from Old Yu's artery splashed onto Xie Yan's face, and he remained motionless.

"Cut off his head and send it to Tai Chi Hall."

Xie Yan spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, Yue Ming answered quickly: "This subordinate will do it right away, it's just that he entered the palace to report today's matter..."

"I'll go in person." Xie Yan's voice was cold.

However, before returning to the palace...

Xie Yan took Old Yu's knife, raised the knife with his hand, and slashed fiercely on the shoulder, the bone was visible.

"My lord!" Yue Ming and Yue Rong's expressions changed drastically.

Xie Yan's words were cold and low: "If the Shadow Guard is still unharmed, he should be suspicious."

Hearing this, Yue Rong clenched his teeth angrily: "One day, I will let him have a taste of this too!"

"Return to the palace and return to life." Xie Yan's face paled a little, his tone was still cold, "Clean up the traces here, don't scare the county lord."

"Yes." Yue Rong nodded like a pounding garlic.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall, the emperor was restless, his eyes always wandering outside the hall.

It's just that he has been waiting for more than two hours today, and the expected figure never appeared.

The emperor's face gradually became ugly: "Could it be that the three thousand forbidden troops can't even defeat more than 100 people?"

Li Dehai looked normal, but the little eunuchs behind him were already drenched in cold sweat.

They had served the emperor for a long time, and they knew that the emperor's appearance was a sign of anger. If the emperor became angry, then their personal servants might end their lives.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Li Dehai stepped forward quickly, blocking the frightened little eunuchs, and said in a thin voice, "The shadow guards you have trained by yourself are all masters who count as ten." , it would not be good if you just eradicated them so easily, on the contrary, the harder it is, the more it will prove your previous strength."

Li Dehai has been by the emperor's side for so many years, and he knows the emperor's temper better than anyone else. What he said made the emperor's anger dissipate in an instant.

"You are right." The emperor nodded and said, "If they are vulnerable, wouldn't that prove that all my painstaking efforts over the years have been in vain?"

At this moment, the guards outside the hall panicked: "Thank you, sir! You are..."

Hearing this, the emperor immediately cheered up: "Hurry up and bring Xie Yan in!"

Li Dehai responded immediately, and when he was about to go out, he saw a layer of gauze tied on Xie Yan's shoulder, with bright red blood oozing from it, looking very horrifying.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted in the next moment, and said loudly: "Thank you, sir! What's wrong with you? Why did you suffer such a serious injury?"

The emperor couldn't sit still when he heard this.

He walked out of the hall himself, and saw Xie Yan who was struggling forward.

As Li Dehai said, the gauze on Xie Yan's shoulder was already soaked with blood, which showed how serious his injury was.

Just when the emperor was thinking whether to appease Xie Yan or ask about the progress of the matter, Xie Yan was about to kneel down. He quickly asked Li Dehai to stop Xie Yan: "Xie Aiqing is seriously injured, so there is no need to be polite!"

"Fortunately, the minister has taken down all the shadow guards." Xie Yan stood with his hands folded.

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"A total of 320 people have been executed." Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "I also brought the head of the shadow guard commander."

The emperor only heard Xie Yan's first words: "320 people? 320 people!"

His tone changed from doubt to anger. Even if Yue Ming held up Lao Yu's head, he didn't care at all. All he had in his mind was this number.

It takes more than ten years to cultivate a qualified shadow guard. After he killed all the shadow guards of the late emperor, he left only Mr. Yu who was loyal to him. So he handed over the post of commander of the shadow guards to Mr. Yu, and asked Mr. Yu to train the shadow guards for him.

He was afraid of death, and there were 100 more shadow guards than the former emperor, but even so, there were only 150 of them!But now Xie Yan said that Mr. Yu has raised more than 300 people!Fully doubled!

"What does he want to do?" The emperor's eyes were ferocious, full of murderous intent, "He raised so many shadow guards, does he want to replace me?"

At this moment, the emperor was furious, and all the things that Mr. Yu had done in the past appeared in his mind, and the thing that he was most afraid of in his heart was also associated with it.

"Could it be that he found that child? He wants to kill Zhen and make that child the emperor!" As he spoke, his expression became distorted with fear.

A taunt flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, the emperor had done too many bad things, no matter what happened, he could always associate it with the prince's orphan.

The emperor was still in a state of panic. He thought that he had eliminated the shadow guard, a serious concern, but he knew that the bone that had never been found was still the biggest shadow in his heart.

The Tai Chi Hall fell into silence, and after a long time, the emperor said, "Xie Aiqing, I have an extremely important matter for you to do."

Xie Yan raised his eyes, his expression was calm, subconsciously convincing: "I will do my best."

The emperor said quietly: "Do you know about Qichen's change?"

Without waiting for Xie Yan to reply, the emperor continued: "My most respected and beloved brother, launched a palace change on that day. I am incompetent and can only watch helplessly

He and his second brother killed each other, and his father also died on that day!I have always respected the two imperial brothers, and I wanted to save the lives of their family members, but who knew... Who knew that the two imperial wives chose to commit suicide! "

"That day, the fire in the Eastern Palace lit up half of the sky in the capital, and I could only watch helplessly as everyone in the Eastern Palace was buried in the sea of ​​flames." The emperor said with a mournful expression.

Xie Yan's expression was as indifferent as ever, and the emperor didn't care, and said to himself: "It's strange that the bones of the prince's eldest son have never been found. I have been looking for him all these years, and I want to compensate him. .”

There was a moment of silence in the hall before Xie Yan responded, "Does the emperor want to find this His Highness?"

"Exactly." The emperor said sadly, "I can't just watch him drift away! I leave this matter to you! When the Shadow Guard was in the south of the Yangtze River, he found his whereabouts! According to the speculation of the Shadow Guard, He should have arrived in Shu by now."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Hearing Xie Yan's eloquent words, the emperor's high-hanging heart never let go.

"Forget it, step back." The emperor waved his hand feebly, looking sad.

Xie Yan held Old Yu's head and handed it up: "Your Majesty, this head..."

"Fire it anywhere." The emperor said coldly, "Such a disloyal person should have been quartered! I think he has made a lot of contributions, so you can burn his body and head together. The friendship between our monarch and his ministers has been broken."

"The emperor is benevolent." Li Dehai shouted immediately.

Xie Yan also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is benevolent, if Mr. Yu finds out, he will definitely regret what he did back then."

He was used to hearing Li Dehai's flattery on weekdays, and the emperor didn't care about his words, but Xie Yan complimented him like this, the smile on the emperor's face was much more obvious.

"Heal your wounds first, and then go to Sichuan after your wounds are healed."

It is rare for the emperor to be so kind, so Xie Yan naturally agreed.

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Yue Ming worriedly followed.

"My lord, your injury..."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Yan's long but not narrow phoenix eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, "Tell the Sichuan side, let them make more noise."

Although Yue Ming was at a loss, he responded immediately: "After returning, my subordinates will deliver the letter to Sichuan in person."

"The emperor asked me to find the whereabouts of the prince's orphan." Xie Yan said in a cold tone, "I just took this opportunity to go to Shu."

When Yue Ming heard this, he almost choked on his saliva: "Let you find the prince's orphan?"

Isn't this a good thing delivered to your door!

Yue Ming was very excited when he slapped his thigh.

Back in the mansion, Xie Yan took off the gauze by himself, looking at the hideous wound on his shoulder, a rare distress appeared on his handsome face.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a person stood at the door: "Xie Yan, are you inside?"

As soon as Gu Ning's voice sounded, Xie Yan was in a hurry, trying to cover the wound.
