This Marshal of the Palace

"Master, I've been waiting for two days, how long are you going to wait?" Yan Ci leaned against the door frame and looked impatiently at Yan Huiyue inside.

"What's the rush? In two days' time, Beiyan's national sacrifice will be held. All the children of the royal family and court officials will be there. By the way, have you finished reading your book?" Yan Huiyue wiped the dagger in her hand, with a smile on her lips Without a trace of temperature.

Rolling his eyes, Yan Ci curled his lips and said nothing.

In the past two days, Yan Huiyue took her around Beiyan's capital and ate a lot of Beiyan's special dishes. The most frightening thing was that she found a lot of books for her and asked her to read them all.

She understood what Yan Huiyue was thinking, but let's not say that she didn't like to read, and that she was not a quiet person, so it was definitely more uncomfortable for her to sit in that position than to read.

"Go read, I'm going to test you tonight." Yan Huiyue put down the dagger and took out a few books, "Take it, read it." After finishing speaking, he threw the book to Yan Ci.

After receiving the book, Yan Ci roughly flipped through it, and then said: "Master, I know what you want to do, but do you think that your apprentice can be an emperor in peace and contentment? I can see it from childhood to adulthood. It’s not like you don’t know about those military books and story book travel notes.”

Yan Ci was really helpless, and threw the book back on the table casually: "I told Qing Ling that after we get married, I will go to the mountains and rivers with her. Don't force me, I really can't be the emperor. .”

How could Yan Huiyue not understand this, but now the only person who is qualified to take that position is Yan Ci. As Yan Ci's master and a descendant of the Yan family, she is wholeheartedly loyal to the Beiyan royal family.

"Besides, it is absolutely impossible for the apprentice to have children in this life. Even if he really takes this position, he will not be able to leave offspring. Will he still have to hand over to others in the end?" Sitting next to Yan Huiyue, Yan Ci said, "I I have made an appointment with the prince to come to the mansion tonight for a talk, so you should come too."

"Sui Wang, what do you ask him to do?" Yan Huiyue didn't understand what Yan Ci wanted to do.

In her memory, Sui Wang's temperament is as easy-going as his title, and he belongs to people who like to escape regardless of everything.

Yan Ci smiled: "No matter how you say it, he is my uncle, so what if we meet."

At night, he came with the king as promised.

He is slender, wearing a bamboo green gown, without any accessories, and his face with some vicissitudes is very calm.

Standing beside him was a child who seemed to be in his teens, wearing a blue dress, with pink and jade carvings, and a pair of red eyes with a small face that looked extremely pure.

"Follow the king, please come in." Yan Ci smiled and welcomed the people in, and as soon as they were seated, a maid refilled tea for them.

"Go down, come in when I tell you." After waving the person out, only Yan Ci's master and apprentice, Sui Wang and the child were left in the study.

Sui Wang looked at Yan Ci with a strange look in his eyes, but his face remained calm.

"Sui Wang must already know the identity of this commander." Yan Ci put his hands on the table and smiled.

"No one knows the name of Yan Shuai." Sui Wang also put on a polite smile, and his tone was very distant.

Yan Huiyue looked at the two of them feeling bored, and then turned her eyes to the child.

Although she was dressed in a fancy dress and her hair was tied up, she looked like a little boy, but she couldn't hide it from her sharp eyes. This was clearly a girl doll deliberately dressed as a boy.

The girl was also very vigilant, turning her head to look at Yan Huiyue with a bit of guard in her eyes.

"This, King Sui should know." From his arms, he took out a long piece of jade and swallowed it and pushed it in front of King Sui.

The jade stone is about one finger wide, with a tiger lying cross-legged engraved on it.Sui Wang's eyes suddenly widened after seeing the piece of jade, and the aura around him also changed.

"I don't know where Yan Shuai got this soldier talisman, what's the point of taking it out now?" King Sui is not stupid, on the contrary, he is extremely smart, cautious and forbearing, otherwise he, an idle prince, would not be able to live so peacefully. Now.

"It's up to you, master, to explain this soldier talisman." Yan Ci leaned back and pushed Yan Huiyue out without hesitation.

Glancing at Yan Ci, Yan Huiyue reached out to take back the soldier talisman: "Didn't King Sui find that Xiao Ci looks like someone?"

Resemblance, very resemblance, especially the pimple in the brow, which is exactly the same as that person.

"Wang Sui and the first emperor are brothers, so you should be able to see something after thinking about it." Yan Huiyue took another object from her bosom and placed it on the table.

It was a round token about the size of a palm, engraved with the word "Swallow" in regular script, and engraved with a military flag-like pattern on the other side.

"The Empress Xian ordered me to escape with Xiaoci, and after I escaped, I didn't dare to use my real name, so I changed Xiaoci's name without authorization." Yan Huiyue explained.

"Yan Yi?" Wang Sui looked at Yan Huiyue and tentatively said a name.

Nodding, Yan Huiyue didn't hide anything: "You should know what Xiaoci did, this time we came back to take revenge, to avenge the former emperor and empress, the Yan family who died back then and the countless soldiers .”

Sighing, King Sui smiled wryly: "If the army is overwhelming, maybe it can be done, but now how can you guys defeat the emperor with the help of that evil person?"

"Evil?" Yan Ci narrowed his eyes, "But a man in a black robe and a mask?"

Sui Wang nodded: "I have been investigating secretly for these years, but every time I find that man, the clues will be cut off, and I also found out that there is a kind of Gu in the hands of the emperor, and those who have been tricked will follow his ideas. action, and extremely difficult to detect."

Gu?Yan Ci lowered his head and smiled: "You can rest assured that you can follow the king. This commander is naturally prepared in this regard. But I invite you to follow the king today, and there are other things."

King Sui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "No matter what it is, I will definitely do my best." Back then he watched the rebels break through the imperial city and was powerless, but these years, he kept a low profile, not to mention that he could fight against the rebels, but Help can still be done.

"I want you to sprinkle this into the wine of the ministers and guards on the day of the national sacrifice." Yan Ci took out a paper bag and handed it to King Sui.

This paper bag contains the powder of Mihunsan. As long as it is poured into wine and drunk by those people, they will fall into a coma within three breaths. Even people with strong internal energy will be sore and weak. There is enough to do what they want.

After receiving the paper bag, King Sui nodded. During the national sacrifice, the children of the royal family and the ministers and guards drank different wine, so it was not difficult to pour it in.

"Father, let me scatter." The child who had been sitting quietly on the side stretched out his hand and took the paper bag, "Every time there is a national festival, they will secretly send someone to watch you, if you go, you will definitely be seen. "

The child's voice was crisp and clear, and it made people feel comfortable to hear the words clearly.

"This is Yan Qiong?" Yan Ci has always been very interested in this child.

Sui Wang has always said that this is a little prince, and he was poisoned when he was born. Although he saved his life, his body became extremely weak. He fell ill every day and almost died several times.

But according to the news she got, this little prince is a girl at all, and she is not weak and sick. On the contrary, she has excellent bones, is a good material for martial arts, and has her own views on governing the country. She is a great talent.

Yan Qiong also looked at Yan Ci with some curiosity. She had heard a lot about Yan Shuai's deeds, and she admired Yan Ci very much in her heart, but she never thought that this famous Yan Shuai would be a woman, and In terms of blood, she is still her imperial sister.

"Little girl Yan Qiong, she had no choice but to claim that she was a boy when the incident happened." She didn't hide much about Yan Ci Sui Wang.

Yan Ci also knew about those secrets, so he didn't feel anything, but looked at Yan Qiong with a smile: "What do you think of Bei Yan now?"

"The emperor is fatuous, obsessed with voodoo techniques to control his courtiers, and corrupt officials colluded with profiteers to oppress the people." Yan Qiong replied without thinking.

After hearing this sentence, Yan Ci blinked at Yan Huiyue, and what she got was Yan Huiyue's white eyes.

"If you become the emperor, what do you think Beiyan will do?"

"At least it won't be like this." Yan Qiong said firmly.

Yan Ci smiled and turned his head towards Yan Huiyue: "Master, what do you think of this?"

"I just know how to be lazy." Yan Huiyue glared at Yan Ci.

Sui Wang and Yan Qiong were a little puzzled, but seeing that the sky outside had turned pale, Sui Wang resigned and took Yan Qiong to leave.

"Hidden and lazy, you will die of laziness sooner or later." Yan Huiyue angrily knocked on Yanci's head a few times.

"Haha, master, don't worry, I've checked, this little girl is proficient in everything from Wen Tao to Wu Lue to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is much more suitable than me." Yan Ci smiled and dodged away.

On the day of the National Sacrifice, Yan Ci and Yan Huiyue hid nearby with their people early.

Watching Yan Qiong walk to those wine vats pretending to be innocent from a high place, and then sprinkle all the enchanting powder into it when no one is paying attention.

"Very clever." Yan Huiyue also saw it.

The national sacrifice began, and a man in a bright yellow robe stood at the highest position on the altar.

"It's him, Yan Que." Yan Huiyue was a little disdainful.

Yan Ci didn't speak, but watched the national sacrifice seriously, and when everyone drank the wine, they began to count secretly.

"3, 2, 1."

Just after counting the ministers and guards standing under the altar, it seemed as if some switch had been turned on, and they all fell down in unison, only some generals could barely maintain consciousness.

"What's going on?" Yan Que looked in disbelief at the people who fell down in unison.

"It's nothing, just let them sleep for a while." Yan Ci's voice came from the side.

As soon as the words fell, Yan Que saw some people walking up the steps to the altar.

"Who are you?" Yan Que took two steps back, guarded.

Yan Ci scratched his head, tilted his head and looked at Yan Huiyue: "Master, some people seem to have a bad memory."

Yan Huiyue smiled ferociously: "If you don't remember, I will let him recall it again."

Back then, Bai Qingran came to poison people, but she met Yan Que more than once.
