After waiting for half an hour, Xie Yan, who walked extremely fast, appeared in front of the emperor.

Seeing Xie Yan, the emperor couldn't hide the joy on his face, and waved to Xie Yan: "You are finally here! Come here quickly, I have something to ask you!"

"Li Dehai, quickly bring a chair for Master Xie!"

In the Tai Chi Hall, only Xie Yan could be treated like this by the emperor.

Li Dehai hurried forward and put the chair next to Xie Yan. He had just returned from Concubine Chen's Palace, but he was still more agile than other eunuchs who had been staying in Taiji Hall.

The emperor glanced at Li Dehai sullenly, but he didn't say anything.

In any case, Li Dehai is the most loyal person to him. Although he has done some wrong things, small punishments are enough, and there is no need for more punishment, otherwise it will only give opportunities to those who are interested.

The killing intent in the emperor's heart came and went quickly, and after Li Dehai put the chair away, the expression on his face had returned to normal.

"Thank you, I came to see you today because I want you to recall more about your previous experience in Shu." The emperor said in a low tone, "Since I was cast by a sorcerer last time and talked nonsense in the court hall , I am very worried, you said...the rebels in Shu have already planted spies by my side?"

After hearing the words, Xie Yan's handsome eyebrows flashed a puzzled look.

Under the gaze of the emperor, he thought for a while, then shook his head: "Please excuse my stupidity, this so-called sorcery...Did Daoist Chen mention the way it was done?"

"The Forbidden Army is in charge of the imperial city, and it patrols day and night. It basically doesn't give the thieves a chance to get close. Moreover, the Forbidden Army by your side, the emperor, are all innocent for three generations. Those who have been in the Forbidden Army for more than ten years will never die. Faces appear."

Xie Yan's words made the emperor's face a little ugly.

Naturally, he couldn't tell how this sorcery was cast on him, because it wasn't sorcery at all!This is the first emperor who came to seek revenge!To this day, Chen Daochang has only temporarily suppressed the late emperor's wronged soul, maybe after a while, the late emperor's wronged soul will make a comeback!

Thinking of this, the emperor had a gloomy face, and uttered a sentence for a long time: "That man's methods are quite clever, and Chen Daochang couldn't find any more traces."

"But in this world, the only people who want my life are those traitors!" The emperor mentioned this matter, his eyes became much colder, "If you think about it carefully, there must be some clues!"

In fact, the emperor also had doubts in his heart, all right, why did the ghost of the late emperor appear at this time?He just felt that someone was playing tricks behind his back, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was really good as an emperor, even the Pei family respected him very much, and if he died, letting the crown prince succeed him would be too much for the Pei family The situation will get worse.

In this way, the rebels in Shu are the most likely.

When the emperor asked questions, his eyes were fixed on Xie Yan, and if Xie Yan couldn't answer, he would keep staring at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan was not in a hurry, his handsome face still had a cold expression. The emperor was used to his cold face, and he didn't realize that under this cold handsome face, there was a monstrous killing intent towards him.

After a while, Xie Yan said in a deep voice: "Because the rebel army has a guilty conscience, people who enter and leave Sichuan are very strictly controlled, and we dare not go out often. Only when the rebel leader goes to Guanzhou, can we sneak into the rebel army. The mansion of the chief, and there is nothing strange in that mansion, only the young man who is respected by all the servants."

Such words had been heard by the emperor as early as last time.

He lowered his head with gloomy eyes, You You asked unwillingly: "That's all?"

"Your Majesty, the land of Shu is heavily guarded..."

"Okay, okay." The emperor waved his hand, "You have said this several times, can I not know? It is one thing to be heavily guarded, but you should bring so many people there. Didn't find it!"

Speaking of this, there was a look of boredom in the emperor's eyes.

I thought Xie Yan was useful, but who knows that Xie Yanjing, like other ministers, can't come up with the conclusion he wants when he encounters an important matter.

Seeing the impatience on the emperor's face, Xie Yan lowered his head and said nothing more.

After a while, the emperor said slowly, "What did the young man you saw look like that day?"

"He was quite handsome." Xie Yan replied after considering it.

The emperor paused, and just wanted to describe the appearance of the first prince, but when he thought of the first prince, only the body of the first prince was left in his mind, and the face of the first prince was a cloud of gray.

So, his words stuck in his mouth.

When Xie Yan saw this, a sarcasm quickly flashed across his phoenix eyes covered by his slender and thick eyelashes.

How ridiculous, but after 20 years of hard work, the emperor completely forgot about the brother he killed with his own hands.

The emperor did not show embarrassment, he waved to Li Dehai and said, "Go and get the portrait of the first prince."

Hearing this, Li Dehai rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you ordered all the portraits of the late prince to be burned. You said before that you must never keep the portrait of this traitor."

A look of embarrassment finally appeared on the emperor's face.

He looked at Li Dehai coldly: "If it burns, it will burn! You remember the appearance of the first prince, you come to draw!"

Li Dehai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, this servant is so old, I won't be able to remember what you ordered today, so how can I remember the appearance of that traitor?"

Although Li Dehai's words made the emperor feel at ease, when he thought that he couldn't confirm the true identity of the young man in Shu, he still couldn't help feeling agitated.

"What use do I want you for?" The emperor scolded, and turned his gaze to Xie Yan, "Xie Yan, it's not a problem that there are frequent troubles in the palace, you send more forbidden troops to patrol around the Taiji Hall, as for the land of Shu... ..."

"You work harder, go to Shu again, and see if those rebels in Shu have mastered magic. If they have mastered it, you will get rid of them immediately." The emperor ordered lightly, as if it was What a breeze.

Xie Yan didn't have much expression on his face, he responded indifferently, and then withdrew.

Looking at his tall and straight back, the emperor subconsciously pinched the armrest.

However, when he tried to find out the source of his nervousness, the thought disappeared again, and it was so fleeting that he couldn't catch it.

After a while, the emperor said angrily: "This thank you banquet is good for everything, but it's too proud!"

"Your Majesty, isn't it a testament to your wisdom that such an arrogant person is used by you?" Li Dehai said hastily, "What's more, Mr. Xie is a little arrogant, but he is loyal to you! It doesn't seem like someone Minister, I treated you respectfully and flattered you in every possible way, so I turned my head and gave you gifts and went to the East Palace."

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes turned cold: "That's right...the East Palace really needs to be rectified."

After a while, he looked at Li Dehai: "Tell me, the person who sent an assassin to assassinate me at the birthday banquet is better for the Pei family or the prince?"

Fortunately, the eunuch's clothes were layer upon layer, otherwise Li Dehai's uneasiness would have been noticed by the emperor long ago.

Under the watchful eyes of the emperor, he ignored his sweat-soaked underwear and whispered: "It's your birthday, why don't you have a good one? The slave looks at the Pei family and the prince, and treats you as well." It doesn't sound like disrespect."

"You're used to being a good person, and you don't know how terrible these people's ambitions are." The emperor sneered, "Now that I am strong and powerful, they naturally dare not make any changes, but if they see my flaws, they may not be able to do anything about it." What to do!"

"These two, I will definitely get rid of one of them!"

The emperor said these words with a gloomy face, even though Li Dehai knew that he was cruel, he couldn't help trembling his fingers at this moment.

"This..." Li Dehai didn't dare to talk to the emperor after suffering the loss of last time. He could only say ambiguously, "Your majesty's decision has always been wise, so there is no need to ask your servants."

"Indeed." The emperor smiled, "Then let's start with the crown prince."

The emperor's light words made Li Dehai's back tense.

"The slave is going to..."

"Let Xie Yan send more people, and they must show up on the day of the birthday banquet." The emperor said quietly, "Anyone can be injured, but the crown prince can't! Do you understand?"

"Slave understands!" Li Dehai straightened his body immediately, "But if Mr. Xie is asked to do this, will it leak the news?"

Hearing this, the emperor paused for a while, thinking carefully about Li Dehai's words, there was indeed some truth.

Xie Yan is so young and possesses extremely strong abilities, there is no guarantee that he will not be wooed by the prince.

So, he nodded: "Then let Zheng Li handle this matter."

"I trust Zheng Li so much, he can't let me down!"

Seeing the chill in the emperor's eyes, Li Dehai tensed his back, and said in a low voice: "General Zheng seems to be loyal to you, and he probably won't do such a thing as betraying you!"

"Knowing people, knowing their faces, but not their hearts." The emperor sighed, "Even the most trustworthy person, in the face of interests, will inevitably have unreasonable thoughts."

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Dehai didn't dare to have other opinions, so he could only nod quickly.

He hurried out, the emperor lowered his eyes, trying to recall the appearance of the first prince, but no matter what he thought, the face of the first prince was always covered with a layer of gray mist, so that he could not see the face of the first prince clearly .

After thinking about it, the emperor sat up and strode outside.

He was still a little worried, and just wanted to ask Chen Daochang to clarify.

And Li Dehai, who walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, waved to Zheng Li, who was standing by and waiting in full force.

When seeing Li Dehai, Zheng Li's heart trembled.

But under the gaze of so many people, he still had a serious face and walked towards Li Dehai with strong steps.

"Eunuch Li." Zheng Li nodded politely towards Li Dehai.

Zheng Li is now the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. From the fourth rank, he no longer needs to salute Li Dehai as before.

Seeing that he was full of energy, Li Dehai motioned for him to follow him to a remote corner.

Zheng Li looked around subconsciously. With so many people watching, is it really appropriate for him to meet Li Dehai?

Seeing this, Li Dehai spoke slowly: "General, don't worry, the emperor sent the servant here."

"This matter is very important, and it is inconvenient for others to hear."

Hearing this, Zheng Li breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately followed behind Li Dehai, and the two of them walked together to an open space not far from the Tai Chi Hall.

This open space is quite large, and once someone approaches, it will immediately attract attention, and it is a good place to give orders.

Zheng Li and Li Dehai came here, and the expressions on their faces finally showed a bit of anxiety: "Eunuch Li, what is the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." Li Dehai commanded with a calm expression, "It's just that the emperor wants you to do something for him."

"What's the matter?"

"Ten days will be the emperor's birthday banquet. What the emperor means is that you choose some clever assassins to pretend to be assassins, and then let people plant the crime on the prince."

Li Dehai said these words in a high-pitched voice, which made Zheng Li stunned.

Zheng Li's eyes froze, and he couldn't believe what he heard: "Pretending to be an assassin to assassinate the emperor? And you said it was identified by His Highness the Crown Prince?"

He knew all these words, but he couldn't believe that they were connected together.

Is there really such a strange trick in this world?

Seeing the calmness in Li Dehai's eyes, Zheng Li actually had the illusion that he was making too much of a fuss. He opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice: "What is the emperor doing this for?"
