As soon as these words came out, the patrolling guards all looked terrified.

It was the guard named Liang Zici who first said that they heard a strange sound coming from the Leng Palace, and they took a closer look, but they didn't expect that someone was actually inside.

What's more, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen inside. If they didn't find out about it during their duty, I'm afraid it won't be enough to get a hundred heads off afterward.

The guards were a little scared and immediately became serious.

Jiang Wen'an protected the little guy to show comfort. He looked at the messy bed, and saw Zou Cunsong was pinned down by a guard and couldn't move. He was staring at Shen Yan with wide eyes and screaming.But Zhu Ru had long since disappeared.

Jiang Wen'an also opened his eyes slightly, he saw the blood in Zou Cunsong's mouth, and there was a bloody knife on the bed.

Shen Yan seemed to be frightened by his eyes, and timidly hid behind the husband, and hurriedly said: "He brought a knife to scratch my clothes, and I snatched it to protect myself. It's too dark for me to see clearly. Maybe... maybe accidentally hurt him."

Jiang Wen'an checked his clothes, and found that there was indeed a gash cut by a knife, so he dispelled his doubts.

Zou Cunsong was speechless, so the leading guard had no choice but to ask Shen Yan: "Why is His Highness the Fifth Prince here so late? How could Eunuch Zou come here?"

Shen Yan timidly said: "Today is the anniversary of my concubine's death, so I came back to take a look. I didn't expect to hear the sound of someone opening the door just after falling asleep, and then...then Eunuch Zou came in and pressed on me..."

You don't need him to say what you said later, everyone understands, and Zou Cunsong has always had a bad reputation, so his words are very convincing.

The guard Liang Zici was Zhu Ru's good friend, he hurried forward and tied up Eunuch Zou.

"This matter is no small matter. How can His Royal Highness allow him to blaspheme? It's just that it's getting late now, and it's not appropriate to disturb the Holy Majesty. Why not tie him here and bring him to meet the Holy Majesty after dawn."

Shen Yan nodded, and quietly went to hold Jiang Wen'an's hand: "Sir, shall we go back first?"

His voice trembled.

Although things went according to their plan, Jiang Wen'an thought that what happened last time might still cast a shadow over him, so he didn't dare to delay when he saw him like this, took out the silver he had prepared in advance and gave it to the lead guard, Instruct them to take Zou Cunsong to see the emperor during the day.

Shen Yan urged her husband to go out, but before leaving, she exchanged glances with a certain guard in the crowd.

"Thank you, sir."

After going out, Shen Yan obviously relaxed a lot.

Only then did Jiang Wen'an heave a sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow, when I go to see the emperor, I will say that you have been frightened, and ask the emperor for permission to take you out of the palace to rest."

Jiang Wen'an's plan was to punish Zou Cunsong. In the past, Shen Yan had no one to rely on. If he was bullied silently, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, but now it is different.

During this period of time, the emperor has not ignored Shen Yan as before, and with Jiang Wen'an around and the night watch guards as witnesses, Zou Cunsong couldn't pick it off.The charge of intentionally molesting the prince is enough for him to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Jiang Wen'an wanted to squeeze out his last bit of value, using him to give Shen Yan a reason to follow him out of the palace.

By accident, Shen Yan accidentally cut off his tongue, who was not planning, but Jiang Wen'an didn't sympathize with him at all, so it was his punishment.

What he didn't know was that the price Shen Yan wanted Zou Cunsong to pay was much more than that.

That night, the fifth prince made a big fuss in Nongxue Pavilion, causing the entire Nongxue Pavilion to be turned upside down, and everyone in the pavilion had a sleepless night.

Everyone said that the Fifth Prince was frightening people out of their minds.

The next day, Jiang Wen'an went to see the emperor with a haggard face, asked him to leave the palace, and pleaded guilty for not taking good care of the fifth prince, and expressed his willingness to take the fifth prince out of the palace to recuperate until his spirit returned to normal, so as not to discredit the Tian family.

It just so happened that General Long returned to the court recently, and the court was full of joy. The emperor had no time to take care of it, and he didn't want to let such disgraceful things spread. He sent a decree to let the fifth prince go out of the palace with Mr. Jiang, saying that he was going out for training. What happened in Nongxue Pavilion was only passed on to the emperor's ears in an impartial manner, and after that, it was smothered and no one talked about it.

Before leaving, Jiang Wen'an finally saw Huo Qing and was able to thank him face to face.

"Thank you for saving me and the Fifth Highness that day."

"Hmph." Huo Qing sneered and said, "You only care about lifting him up to the surface of the water and holding him in the water, how can I not save him?"

"You turned pale when I pulled you up. Jiang Wen'an, do you like her that much?"

"what?"

"She was so kind to her son that she was willing to give her life."

"what?"

Jiang Wen'an was even more confused.

"What are you pretending to be so stupid?" Huo Qing said with hatred, "Since you met Tong Yuwan for the first time, you couldn't take your eyes off her. I told you that she was here to make a kiss, so I told you not to be distracted. But I never thought that you still can't forget her now, and you are willing to help her raise her son."

"???"

"Jiang Wen'an" likes Shen Yan's mother?

The amount of information was a bit large, and Jiang Wen'an couldn't help it all at once.

However, what he was sure of was that what Huo Qing said about being willing to help her raise her son and being kind to him was all nonsense, and that "Jiang Wen'an" was not good at all to Shen Yan, but instead tortured him to the extreme.

But Jiang Wen'an was even more confused now. It turned out that apart from the matter of Concubine Ying, "Jiang Wen'an" also had an unusual relationship with Shen Yan's mother.

These are all hidden in the original text, and Jiang Wen'an has no way of knowing.

The carriage was already waiting outside, but the gentleman was reminiscing about the old days with the national teacher. Shen Yan got impatient and was about to go in to urge the gentleman, but overheard three or two court ladies and eunuchs discussing something together.

He stood around the corner and listened.

"Have you heard? Eunuch Zou died in the cold palace last night."

"Yeah, I heard that the death condition was terrible. There is not a single finger left, and the whole body is dripping with blood, and that part has been used up."

The little maid gasped when she heard this, and immediately covered her mouth, her face full of horror.

The little eunuch beside him said bitterly: "Good death! My brother was taken away by that person before, and he never came back since then."

"I heard that he intended to violate the Fifth Highness last night, but was caught by the patrolling guards and tied up in the cold palace. How did he die like this?"

"My cousin is a bodyguard. He said that the cold palace is also an evil door. They were guarding soberly, but they all fell asleep after a while. Last night was Tong Guifei's death day. If Zou Cunsong dared to do such a thing there, he was afraid It is Concubine Tong who refuses to let him go."

"How can there be such a wicked way? I think it's because Eunuch Zou loves to play, and he has ruined many people. He has made many enemies long ago. When he sees him in trouble, he will step on his feet and deal with him in his own way. As a human being, let him die like this, it is really a joy!"

The death of a eunuch who committed a crime is not a pity, and the emperor has been so troubled by the matter of General Long recently that he has no time to pursue it, so he will die when he dies.

Even if he remembered to check later, he couldn't find Shen Yan's head no matter what.

Shen Yan's face was hidden in the darkness, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold.

"What are you doing here?"
