"You are the last line of defense for the palace and the last line of defense for the queen. You have done a great job in today's battle." The emperor's voice was calm and firm, and every word penetrated deeply into everyone's hearts.

Weary smiles appeared on the faces of the guards. They knew that although the battle was over, their mission was not completed.

They will continue to protect the Queen until the very end.

"Everyone, reward!"

Soon after, all the participating secret guards and maidens received their due rewards.

Since then, the palace has strengthened its guards, and every intruder has to face the ruthless attacks of numerous secret guards.

At the entrance of the queen's palace, there are secret guards stationed all year round to strictly control the situation.

This assassination warned the emperor and taught the guards a lesson.

The palace is no longer an impregnable ivory tower, but a battlefield full of dangers at all times.

And they, as the guardians of the palace, will also become the gatekeepers of Death.

Among the guards, the guards carried forward the spirit of strict defense and used their strength and loyalty to defend the dignity and safety of the palace.

They walked in the dark night, they patrolled in the ice and snow, and they gave up their personal rest and comfort just to protect the glory of the royal family.

This period of time has become a good story in the history of the palace, and people call it "the legend of the guard".

In the palace, a thrilling assassination almost plunged the entire palace into panic.

Hundreds of black-clad assassins invaded the palace silently like ghosts and attempted to assassinate the queen.

However, the powerful strength and alert reaction of the Royal Forest Army prevented them from succeeding.

After the battle, countless corpses lay on the ground in the dim light cast by the palace lamp.

"Dispose of all the corpses, and all the imperial guards will conduct a strict inspection of the royal city tomorrow to find out those damn things." Lord Yan Ming asked coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Wei, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, led his men and was sweeping the battlefield with an expression of anger and grief.

At this time, they also discovered the black marks on each assassin.

Qin Wei frowned, and he vaguely felt that this assassination was not a simple assassination.

The black mark means that these assassins are well-organized and are most likely to be controlled by masterminds behind the scenes.

With worries, Qin Wei immediately rushed to the emperor's study room and reported the battle and these findings.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates were cleaning the battlefield just now and found that every assassin had a black mark on his body.

The subordinates speculated that the black mark meant that these assassins were well-organized, and it was very likely that there was someone behind the scenes secretly controlling them. "

Yan Mingjue's face was solemn, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.

He took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

Finally, he calmed down, looked at Qin Wei seriously and said: "Qin Wei, you must investigate this matter thoroughly and bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice!

This matter involves a lot. If I want to know who they are, how can I dare to violate my imperial power? "

Qin Wei clenched his fists and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, my subordinates will definitely go all out to erase this shame!"

"Well! You should go back and rest now, and go to investigate this matter thoroughly tomorrow." After Yan Mingjue finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced outside the imperial city.

He knew that the royal city was about to usher in a bloody storm, and things would soon change.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Wei took a few steps back and left the palace.

Yan Mingjue looked at Qin Wei's back and thought that he was the son of General Qin, and General Qin was sincere to the royal family, so it was impossible for his family to stir up trouble.

But the other old guys might not be able to do it, because they don't have this intention, but the legitimate daughters behind them have been spying on me for a long time.

Those old guys might not be able to stand the temptation of their legitimate daughter, and they might make a big mistake.

Those legitimate daughters have now reached the age of marriage. Regardless of whether they have this intention or not, I must marry them all to prevent any changes in the future.

After making a plan, he quickly said to the slave next to him:

"Eunuch Li, take the five holy papers for me and grind the ink!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will prepare it for you."

After saying that, Eunuch Li put away his orchid fingers and made preparations.

One day later, in a secret place in the palace, Qin Wei and his lieutenant Liu Yi were investigating carefully.

They found some clues that seemed to be the key to helping them uncover the mastermind.

Qin Wei looked at the concealed marks at a corner on the wall. He squatted down and looked carefully, with a hint of surprise in his heart:

"This is the mark left by the blade. It looks like a special design of the assassin's weapon. It is no accident that such a weapon appears here."

After Qin Wei finished speaking, he patted the wall lightly.

“Rumble….”

In the flying dust, a hole about one meter appeared.

Qin Wei looked at Liu Yi dumbfounded, and the shock in his eyes was self-evident.

Liu Yi guessed in a low voice: "Maybe they entered and exited the palace through this place."

Qin Wei nodded, then stared at the hole in the wall, imagining the assassin's actions here:

"They should have used this horn as a breakthrough point to enter the palace.

But the Royal Forest Army often patrols here, why don't they notice anything strange here? "

Liu Yi thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "This means that they are very familiar with the structure of the palace."

At this time, Qin Wei's eyes suddenly became sharp. He turned to Liu Yi and said in a deep voice: "There must be someone behind this! Only someone within the palace could be so familiar with the structure of the palace."

Liu Yi was shocked and nodded in agreement.

They understood that the insider of this assassination must be hidden inside the palace, and finding this insider was the key to finding the mastermind behind the scenes.

Qin Wei secretly ordered to start a close investigation of the court members in the palace.

Everyone has become their suspect, even the royal family members are no exception.

Days passed, and during the investigation, Qin Wei discovered something strange.

Yang Zhenggang, the emperor's right-hand minister, suddenly disappeared inexplicably. He is familiar with the structure of the palace, but strangely his whereabouts are very strange.

Qin Wei thought of the investigation just now and immediately ordered Yang Zhenggang to be taken back to the imperial study for interrogation. Under interrogation, Yang Zhenggang finally confessed his crime.

He admitted that he was behind the assassination.

He was familiar with the palace structure because he betrayed the Emperor's trust and secretly helped the Assassins.

He provided the assassins with intelligence inside the palace, and even went so far as to kill people himself, in a perfunctory manner.

"Why?" Qin Wei stared at Yang Zhenggang closely and asked in a cold voice.

Yang Zhenggang had a cruel smile on his face: "The emperor crippled me once and even showed disdain for Liu'er's feelings. I will never allow him to settle down."

When Yan Mingjue heard the news, he had already made guesses about his character, and he was not so angry.

He walked up to Yang Zhenggang and sneered: "You are still the son of Prime Minister Yang and a third-rank official. Do you really think that your own selfishness can shake the foundation of the palace?

The imperial power has been passed down for thousands of years. In front of it, you are just an ant and a tragically insignificant existence! "
