Xing Ye had a good dream, dreaming that Cang Lan stopped and turned around with a gentle smile, they were so close.

It seems to be able to smell the unique fresh breath of the other person, and even the slight warmth in the arms is so real, Xing Ye can't help but want to confirm this touch...

With a slight movement of his hand, there was a slight sound of flipping paper above his head.Startled, Xing Ye woke up instantly, and was startled by the chest that was so close at hand. He stepped back sharply, but his body fell into the air, and bumped into the cases behind him.

Surprised to find that Xing Ye, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly jumped up, fled like a frightened animal, and knocked the files on the table to the ground—Cang Lan was holding the document, and almost didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing the other party get up quickly and habitually grab the hilt at his waist, but he didn't catch anything, and then stood there bewildered and nervous, he just came back to his senses.

He took out a long sword from the couch, and handed it over with a rare 'kindness'.

"This thing makes me feel uncomfortable, don't you feel at ease if you don't hold it?"

"Lord..."

Xing Ye had already recalled what happened last night, his neck was so red that it seemed to be cooked, he took the sword that was still warm with both hands, and squeezed out a word for a long time.

Suddenly remembered that Yi Yan had such a reaction before, but that time Cang Lan could still blame it on her indulgence after drinking, which caused the other party to suffer a lot.

I obviously didn't do anything this time, so is it worth such a big reaction?

Cang Lan stood up, the more she thought about it, the more amusing she became, she took a step forward,

"When you fell asleep, you were much more active than you are now, at least not just holding the sword."

Intentionally sticking to the other party's ear, he suppressed a smile and said in a low voice,

"Is there anything more comfortable than holding a sword?"

He felt the blood rushing to the ground all over his body, and the sword in Xing Ye's hand became unsteady and fell to the ground with a 'slap'.

This reaction was really funny, Cang Lan laughed out loud, rubbed the other party's messy hair, leaving the person who was almost frozen into a stone, laughing all the way and went to wash up.So much so that the little eunuch who was waiting saw the emperor smiling at him, so he spread this "glory" to the whole palace later on, thinking that it would be a sign of good luck.

It's just that in the eyes of others, Xing Ye is the one who is lucky.

The first thing Cang Lan did when he went to the palace was to praise Xing Ye for his loyalty and bravery, and made him the commander of the Vanguard Battalion of the imperial guards in charge of the palace guards, and he was given the post of minister of the guards.

In this way, Xing Ye's official position is equivalent to that of the commander of the guard camp, and in addition to the title of Minister of the Guards, except for the emperor's imperial decree, no one else has the slightest influence on their names.

Although he was not guilty of defending the barracks, he undoubtedly gave Fang Honggeng a warning, who would dare to mention any further investigation of negligence of duty.

Later, Cang Lan ordered Fang Honggeng to preside over the apprehension of the assassins, but did not mention anything about the fate of the Shen family.

Although he told Shen Haozhe to let it go, Cang Lan knew very well that this matter could not be settled in this way, he could cover the sky with one hand and let Shen Haojin go.But he didn't warn his subjects what was absolutely unacceptable. This kind of appeasement not only damaged the emperor's dignity, but also planted hidden dangers for his own safety.

Even if Cang Lan doesn't care about these things, those dignitaries attached to this strict class will not be equally indifferent.

However, during the chaos of war, only the feudal towns with military power have greatly increased in strength, not only the imperial power has been weakened, but the nobles in Beijing are no longer what they used to be. They can only wait for the order that Cang Lan has not issued for a long time.

Cang Lan knew in her heart that such a big move in the capital was definitely not something that a brat like Shen Haojin could do. The best way now was to find out the rest of the party and divert everyone's target.

And handing over the arrest to Fang Honggeng means that he knows that he will try his best to exonerate Shen Haozhe. As for how difficult this matter is, what actions the other party will make to 'throw away the army and protect the commander' is not a headache for him. .

Of course, seeing Fang Honggeng in a state of desperation is an extra pastime.

After dealing with the next matter, it was already evening, and just after leaving the court, Cang Lan saw another person who was in a state of distress.

"Your Majesty, Jiaojiao is gone. The person who went to see her and came back this morning said that she didn't return all night last night!"

It's no wonder, it sounds like Leng Tian has been in a hurry all day.

Cang Lan didn't take it seriously, and continued walking without moving her eyelids.

"Isn't this a common thing for you young lady? If it's not absconding in fear of crime, then let someone guard it."

Leng Tian climbed up and followed the road without giving up,

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the Leng family has many enemies..." Cang Lan noticed something while looking at Xing Ye, and turned her head slightly, seeing a strange color on Xing Ye's face, she paused, and said,

"Send someone to look for it secretly, anyway..."

His way, of course, is to hunt down the assassins, first Zetamar, then the minions sent by the so-called old man Shen, and then the man who appeared in the brothel. He even mobilized the contacts of the Leng family and Lei Jiao. Under such a vast network, I believe there will always be some clues.

Sure enough, someone showed up soon, and before his order to track down Leng Jiaojiao had been issued to all parties, Lei Jiao had already paid off.

Cang Lan looked up and saw the person Lei Jiao brought in, with a very complicated expression on his face, the man didn't wait for Lei Jiao to report, he stepped forward and knelt down and said,

"The villain Mi Ke kowtows to His Majesty!"

Cang Lan narrowed her eyes, ignored the person coming, turned to Lei Jiao and said,

"You are quite courageous, and brought him directly to me."

"The emperor asked me to find it,"

Lei Jiao just laughed and said with a hippie smile,

"And if I remember correctly, he is Hao Lian's personal attendant. He has met the emperor many times, hasn't he?"

"You know his people well,"

Cang Lan also laughed, until Lei Jiao couldn't hold back his smile,

"Don't tell me you found him."

Lei Jiao fell silent, and the person named Mi Ke hurriedly said,

"The villain is acquainted with Lord Lei, so I take the liberty to ask Lord Lei for an introduction."

He is Hao Lianyuya's subordinate, and he stayed with Hao Lianyuya for a long time at sea, coming and going, getting acquainted with Ziran and Lei Jiao who was on the same boat.After finishing speaking, before Cang Lan could speak, she hurriedly said,

"The villain was forced to do so the day before yesterday, please forgive me, Your Majesty...do you still remember the villain?"

"Based on your question, I should remember."

Cang Lan didn't see any joy or anger on her face, and said lightly,

"It was you that I met the day before yesterday, should I think it was a coincidence?"

What the two of them said was thoughtless, Lei Jiao and Leng Zhou both looked suspicious and didn't say anything, Xing Ye couldn't help but take a quick look at Mi Ke.Of course they wouldn't know about the conversation in the alley - it was this Mi Ke who brought Cang Lan to the brothel.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the villain is following the orders of his master..."

Despite being prepared, Mi Ke shivered, and quickly took out something from his bosom, intending to hand it over to Leng Zhou.

"This is a seal from the master to his subordinates, to reveal his identity to His Majesty when necessary."

"enough……"

Seeing that thing, Cang Lan rubbed the brows, raised her hand to prevent Leng Zhou from coming forward,

"No need to bring it over."

"The master said that if His Majesty remembers this seal, he has a word for the villain to convey."

"……I do not remember."

"Master said, if His Majesty refuses to take it into his hand and take a closer look, he must remember it."

Cang Lan didn't remember this thing, but he already saw at a glance that it was a hollowed out incense ball.Nanhui is rich in spices and jewelry, and Hao Lian always carries such things with him.

What Cang Lan remembers is that kind of smell, he didn't feel it when they were together, but after a while, he found it was very profound - he recognized the familiar smell before he lost consciousness the night before.

Cang Lan unconsciously rubbed her eyebrows again, and said,

"...What did he have to say?"

"The master said that this is also a rare incense in Nanhui...he will choose this kind of incense every time he has a good time. If your majesty thinks...it must be emotional, you can ask for some."

Mi Ke said the second half of the sentence in a low and fast manner, and the people in the hall obviously still heard it clearly. Lei Jiao laughed out loud, Leng Zhou froze, and looked at Xing Ye with an obviously unnatural expression. If you haven't heard of it.

"It seems that he is really not afraid to tell you anything,"

Cang Lan didn't react at all, he knew that Hao Lianyuya would be uncomfortable with him, but he thought it was very similar to what that guy said.

However, when he was suspected by King Hui, he let this Mi Ke spread the word like this, it seems that Hao Lian trusted this subordinate.And this Mi Ke hurriedly came here just to spread this word?

Supporting her forehead, Cang Lan half-lidded her eyelids, stared at Mi Ke with interest for a while, and then slowly said,

"I see, you can go down if you have nothing else to do."

Cang Lan's answer was too meaningless, Mi Ke suddenly felt that his plan had been seen through, his heart shuddered, his face changed several times, and he finally gritted his teeth and kowtowed,

"I beg the emperor to save the villain's life. The master already knows what happened the day before yesterday, so he will never let the villain go."

"Didn't you kill all the women in the brothel? How would he know?"

As soon as Cang Lan's light words came out, several people in the hall immediately understood what was going on, especially Xing Ye, whose dark eyes were sharp and sharp.

Mi Ke complained secretly, he had done countless errands, and this trip was the most difficult one - he was ordered to 'watch' Cang Lan secretly, if he turned a blind eye to the situation of the day before yesterday, his master would not peel himself a few layers of skin No wonder; he could only think of such a way in desperation, obviously he couldn't let the master know the news, but...

Now that Cang Lan has seen that those women were silenced by him, it shouldn't be difficult for the other party to guess the task assigned by his master... Thinking of this, Mi Ke simply told the whole story of the inhuman errands.

"The villain is not the only one who reported His Majesty's whereabouts to the master..."

"He's watching so closely!"

Of course, Lei Jiao knew what was going on without even thinking about it, and he couldn't help being narrow-minded, and laughed loudly,

"What happened the night before, that Hao Lianyu turned jealous? Could it be that our emperor was taken advantage of by you?"

This joke is a bit too big, the other people in the hall have already changed their faces when they heard it, but if Hao Lian heard it, they would definitely die, Mi Ke gritted his teeth,

"Master Lei, the master will not only be angry with me when he hears this."

Yin Cece's eyes were very similar to those of his master, and Lei Jiao immediately remembered Hao Lianyu's style of turning three feet when his teeth were fine, and his smile disappeared immediately.

Seeing that Lei Yan was gone, Cang Lan came to the conclusion that he owed someone to clean up, and now he didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, raised his eyebrows, and only said to Mi Ke,

"Because you know that your master is not a fuel-efficient lamp, why do you conclude that I can save you?"

"If Your Majesty has the heart, saving the villain's life is nothing more than a simple effort..."

Cang Lan let go of her mouth a little bit, and Mi Ke immediately saw the needle.Cang Lan smiled, not without the intention of playing, and said,

"Then why did I save you?"

"Your Majesty," Mi Ke could only pretend that he didn't see it, and he could only take a gamble, "Where is the ghost clan of the villain Jing Kingdom hiding..."

"You mean you know the whereabouts of Zetamar?"

Sure enough, Cang Lan's expression changed slightly, Mi Ke heaved a sigh of relief, and continued,

"Since His Majesty saw the ghost clan last time, some of us have been following them."

"Should I praise you?"

"Don't dare, I just ask His Majesty to intercede with the master."

"To make such a condition, you really are Hao Lian's subordinate,"

Cang Lan sighed, but when Mi Ke's heart was about to be fulfilled, she suddenly laughed again,

"You really think I'll let you go like this?"

"His Majesty……"

"Keep these messages as bargaining chips, it's not a request."

The voice was laughing, but the content was aggressive. Mi Ke knelt on the ground and listened, almost repenting.A person who can afford to live with his master will naturally not be easier to deal with than the master, he really can't even cry out the pain, he can only break out in a cold sweat.

The other party is so quick to submit, Cang Lan really feels that this person is shrewd, and sometimes you only need to stop when dealing with smart people.

Cang Lan put away her smile, turned to Lei Jiao and said seriously,

"Lei Jiao, let him go and get someone. I'll talk about other things when I see Zetamar."

Lei Jiao's face was squeezed into a bun in an instant, he didn't think that a person with a strange appearance and who Cang Lan had been searching for was so easy to catch.
