This Marshal of the Palace

It was night, and the Princess Mansion was very quiet, but Yan Ci, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, gently took out a porcelain bottle from under the pillow, closed his breath, opened the plug, and shook it under Ye Qingling's nose.

"Qing Ling, Qing Ling." Gently pushing the shoulder of the person in her arms, Yan Ci called softly, making sure that she would not be woken up, and then quietly got out of bed and changed into night clothes.

There are many guards in the inner courtyard of the princess mansion, especially around the princess's room at night. It can be said that there is a hidden guard every ten steps, protecting Ye Qingling's safety at all times.

Yan Ci had figured out the positions of the hidden guards for so long, and although it was a little troublesome to leave the mansion, it was not too difficult. It didn't take long for him to climb over the wall and leave the princess mansion.

Turning over the wall, Yan Ci only took a few steps before seeing Su Xuan standing guard at the corner.

"Haven't you been discovered?" Su Xuan asked when she saw Yan Ci approaching.

"Don't worry, you still don't know about my lightness kung fu? What's more, my teacher's wife left behind the ecstasy incense. If it can still be discovered, then I might just wipe my neck myself." Yan Ci was half joking.

Su Xuan rolled her eyes and pointed in one direction: "Everyone is waiting for you."

Nodding, Yan Ci followed Su Xuan and ran in one direction.

There was a curfew at night in Dongxia, and the two of them didn't dare to show up on the road too openly, so they mostly chose remote trails and took a few detours to reach the place smoothly.

Following Suxuan to a room, there were 14 people sitting or standing in it, with relaxed expressions on their faces and sometimes talking in low voices. Seeing Yanci followed Suxuan into the room, they clapped their hands together, but did not make a sound.

Yan Ci waved his hand, his eyes swept over them one by one.

"You all know why the commander-in-chief called you out tonight." Yan Ci sat on the chair with a low voice but gave off a sense of menace.

"Yes, the second prince who died ten years ago has returned." The most mature-looking man answered first.

There are three princes and two princesses in Dong Xia, the eldest prince Ye Jinxu, the second prince Ye Shaoxuan, the third prince Ye Jingyuan, and the two princesses Jinsu and Jinluan.

Ten years ago, the second prince, Ye Shaoxuan, died of an illness. Just ten days ago, the second prince, who had died ten years ago, suddenly appeared in the court. The blood of the two is also completely fused.

When Yan Ci heard the news at the time, he had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, in the past ten days, Ye Shaoxuan directly defeated the city guards and a thousand households gained a firm foothold in the city guards, and then repeatedly After catching three or four court recidivists, even the emperor was very satisfied with him, and Wang Hua was too busy dealing with him to forget himself.

"No matter what the second prince does in the court, don't worry about it. When the first prince comes back in half a month, I want you to strongly recommend the emperor to make the first prince a prince." Every time she saw Ye Shaoxuan these days, she would have a look. It's a very strange feeling, and I feel inexplicably uncomfortable, but I can't say why.

"Yes." These people are also veterans in the officialdom. Although the second prince did not say it clearly, everyone can see that what he wants is the position of prince. The second prince who came out halfway is not in his turn.

"The commander-in-chief will arrange five Qingjun guards to secretly protect your safety. During this time, you only need to do what you should do." After Yanci finished speaking, she gave Suxuan a wink. Nod your head to show you understand.

After finishing talking about the so-called second prince, Yan Ci turned his gaze to the other seven gorgeously dressed men.

"Yan Shuai, this is the gift list drawn up by the seven of us, please have a look." Among them, the man standing closest to Yan Ci took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yan Ci with both hands.

Taking the paper, Yan Ci unfolded it and saw that there were many items densely written on it, such as silk and satin, jade ornaments, cattle, sheep and livestock, and she was a little dazzled when she saw each item, and she directly saw the last item, ten thousand taels gold.

"Yan Shuai wants to marry Princess Jinluan as his wife. Those of us who are subordinates naturally have to express it. If Yan Shuai still feels that there is something that is not enough, we can mention it." They also had some difficulty accepting Yan Shuai, but it was only for a while. The next night, the seven of them gathered together to prepare this gift list, and finally decided on it two days ago.

Looking at the list of gifts, Yanci felt a little embarrassed. Any item in this list of gifts would be enough for ordinary people to live in peace and stability for a few years, and the total amount could even equal the annual revenue of the Dongxia treasury. If you take it out, you will save face, but it will undoubtedly give people reasons to doubt.

But the person she wants to marry is Ye Qingling, not to mention her noble status, but in her heart this gift list is not enough, no treasure in the world can match Ye Qingling.

After thinking about it again and again, Yan Ci put away the gift list and said: "Halve everything on the gift list, and search for some rare treasures to add to it." She can also argue that the rare treasures were prepared by Yan Huiyue, after all she After so many years of being in the arena, it is normal to get these things.

"Yes." The seven men nodded in unison.

After ordering some small matters, Yan Ci left, but she did not return to the princess mansion, but went to the city wall, and found a place that no one had found, and brought up the luck to climb out of the city wall.

She was going to Wang Hua's mansion. Ye Shaoxuan appeared suddenly and powerfully. In just a few days, he won the control of the city guard Xiaoban. Yan Ci didn't believe that Wang Hua could still sit still.

The terrain of the General's Mansion is fairly clear, and Wang Hua's location can be found just by searching.

"Ye Shaoxuan is here again after Beici has not been removed. You still tell me to take it easy, but you can tell me what you can do." Yanci fell to the roof and uncovered a tile, and saw Wang Hua standing on the table. Furious, he slapped the table with one hand.

Sure enough, he couldn't sit still, Yan Ci lay on the roof and looked at Wang Hua with a smile, but that Yang Tai was a troublesome one.

"General, these two are a son-in-law and a prince. If you act rashly now, it will only give the emperor a reason to deal with us openly." Yang Tai stood there and tapped the folding fan that never left his hand.

This sentence angered Wang Hua even more, and he slapped the solid wood table directly, and the things spilled all over the floor.

"I don't care about Beici for the time being. Compared with Ye Shaoxuan, his threat is too small. The eldest prince will return in half a month. Let alone the fact that he defeated Nanhua after two years of conquest on the battlefield. If the ministers recommend him As the crown prince, the eldest prince will definitely agree, so there will be more people to restrain Ye Shaoxuan." Yang Tai said slowly, frowning.

Yan Ci heard it clearly, and she was secretly happy. Originally, she was thinking about what to do if Wang Hua's brain twitched and objected to making Ye Jinxu the crown prince, but she didn't expect someone to help her solve it now.

Although the emperor said that he would make Ye Jinxu the crown prince and then give her and Qingling a marriage, but after all, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and everything may change before the decree is made.

But now civil servants and military generals strongly recommend Ye Jinxu as the prince, even if the emperor hesitates, the result is actually predictable.

After the matter was relieved, Yan Ci yawned, looked at the moon above her head, climbed over the city wall, and ran towards the Princess Mansion.

Back in the room, Yanci swiftly took off the night clothes on her body and stuffed them under the bed, and then warmed her body with internal force before getting into the bed and hugging Ye Qingling from behind.

Although she was under the blanket, Ye Qingling's body was still a little cold. Yanci hugged her warm body from behind, put one hand under her head, and put the other hand around her slender waist, directly covering Ye Qingling's entire body. Wrapped in his arms, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Waking up in the morning, Yan Ci opened his eyes and found that although Ye Qingling was still in his arms, his sleeping position had changed.

Ye Qingling still turned her back to her when she was sleeping last night, but now she is facing her, with one hand on her waist and the other laying flat, she is looking at the familiar face, maybe it is the quilt It was too warm inside, her little face was a little pink, and she smiled even in her sleep.

Licking his lips, Yan Ci still couldn't help kissing Ye Qingling's lips, but in order not to disturb her sleep, he just bit her lower lip lightly and let go.

After getting out of bed, Yan resigned to cover Ye Qingling's nest, put on the military uniform, ate the medicinal food, and left the princess mansion.

There were not many pedestrians on the road in the morning, Yan Ci sat on the horse and glanced towards a corner, saw a black shadow flickering, and then went towards the city guard in peace.

Up to now, 500 of her Qing army guards have come, [-] are guarding the city, [-] are running around throughout Dongxia, and the other [-] are separated by her as guardians.

As for Ye Qingling, she arranged fifty people here. In order not to be discovered by the people sent by the emperor, she ordered them to scatter around the princess mansion. If there was any movement, she would first protect Ye Qingling.

The life of the city guards is leisurely, and Ye Shaoxuan has covered almost everything, even the daily patrols in the city are not related to Yanci's half-money.

Sitting in the barracks, Yan Ci looked at the dozens of notes, large and small, arranged according to time in his hand, and carefully read them one by one.

These came from her hidden guards in various places, and she could know immediately no matter what happened to Nanhua and Beiyan.

"Song Xiao is crazy, the old emperor's life depends on the ginseng, and the new crown prince is Song Xi who can't support the wall." Yan Ci couldn't help laughing when he saw the news on a piece of paper. Look at the signature below, there is only one word Yao.

"Be careful in the palace. If you have anything to do, you can find the commander of the imperial army. Within half a year, this commander will definitely lead the troops back." Picking up a pen, Yanci wrote two lines on a blank note, with a rough inscription on the bottom corner. Draw a wolf-like animal and roll up the paper.

Just about to put the note into the bamboo tube, Yan Ci thought about it and wrote another note, "This handsome is about to marry Princess Jinluan, you have to work hard on your own." Roll up the two notes and stuff them into the bamboo tube together. Ci couldn't help laughing.

She could imagine Yaoshu's anger when she saw this note, but she didn't care, she just wanted to tell everyone that she was getting married.
