Uneasy

When An Lu returned to the courtyard, Ying Si had already waited with folded arms.Seeing An Lu coming back soon, Ying Si was a little surprised, and his face softened a lot.Looking at the appearance this morning, Ying Si thought that An Lu was the kind of lazy person who could only talk.

"Sister Yingsi doesn't need to eat?" An Lu asked curiously, her eating speed was forced out, even if she came to ancient times, she couldn't change it.

"Usually stay by the master's side, as long as he is willing to provide food." The current Shadow Priest does not have that cold look.

In fact, among the four shadow guards, An Lu and Ying Si are about the same age, but since she called her sister yesterday, it's hard to change her mouth today.

"The master told me that I will come to supervise your training from tomorrow morning until you can successfully complete an hour of horse gait plus running."

"It's a bit much." An Lu recalled the memory of this morning, and his body trembled.

"You talk to the master about this."

"I'm so hard!"

"It's not difficult. Compared with the shadow guards, you can only be regarded as pediatrics." Ying Si said seriously.

"What if it can't be done?" An Lu tentatively asked.

The Shadow Priest frowned, and said, "If you are a Shadow Guard, you will have to die if you fail."

Who knew that under this serious expression was just a scare word!

An Lu: "..."

"Master probably won't kill you, but if you can't finish it, it's my lack of supervision. I won't let such a thing happen." Ying Priest said firmly.

"Didn't Sister Yingyi teach me in the first place?" An Lu said.

"Master said you are too lazy, the elder sister can't control you." As if seeing through An Lu's next questioning, Ying Priest continued:

"Second sister is okay to watch the fun, but she won't pay attention to you. As for third sister, the master said that you will play together."

It seems that Bu Qinyan really sees through the four people under her command. As for the fourth child, with his serious temper, An Lu's flirting is like a scholar meeting a soldier. The scholar can only succumb.

Such days lasted for a whole month, and An Lu's physical fitness improved significantly.Compared with the original owner's original physical fitness, it has also improved. Before An Lu followed Bu Qinyan, his physical fitness inevitably decreased, but now he has been trained abruptly and continues to rise.And An Lu's problem of staying in bed has also been cured-those days of extra training are unbearable.

After An Lu completed the set goal in one breath, he collapsed to the ground.The final run was almost a matter of perseverance, and the queen was completely testing her endurance.

"Well, starting from this afternoon, you can proceed to the next step of training." Ying Si showed a rare smile. After getting along for a month, she and An Lu have a kind of relationship between teachers and friends.

"Ah! My hands and feet are weak now, so don't torture me!"

"Master personally made the plan after knowing the progress of your mission." Ying Priest moved the queen out skillfully, and tried repeatedly.

"Speak." An Lu was weak.

"From now on, after completing your endurance training in the morning, you can practice your strength in the afternoon." Ying Priest looked at An Lu with a smile.

"By the way, I'll take your rations with you in the future, so don't waste time going back and forth to the dining room." Ying Si continued.

"Don't! Food is my last consolation, you can't be so cruel." An Lu fought back vigorously.

"Master said that those who have not completed the task cannot be comforted." Ying Si gloated, and An Lu had spoiled the relationship this month.

"!!!" An Lu was defeated by the queen at this moment, completely grasping her weak spot.I don't know how she saw through An Lu's foodie.

Then, Ying Si took out some dry food from his bosom and handed it to An Lu.

"While you are eating, I will tell you." Ying Priest said, after a long time, she felt that supervising An Lu every day was much more interesting than staring at the master every day, especially seeing An Lu's deflated expression.

Although he said he disliked the dry food in every possible way, An Lu was so hungry at the moment, how could he care so much, he took what Ying Si was holding and prepared to cook.

"This is the wooden stick I sharpened a few days ago." Ying Si waved the wooden stick in front of An Lu, and An Lu subconsciously took two steps back.

"I thought you were going to hit me with it." An Lu was still terrified. God knows that when he saw Ying Priest cutting a wooden stick a few days ago, An Lu's heart skipped a beat. That thing was not a joke. of.

"It's okay if you think about it." Ying Priest thought thoughtfully.

"Don't, don't, just keep talking." An Lu said immediately.

"From now on, you can swing this wooden stick 100 times a day, and increase it by 50 times a day, until you can wield a long spear in the army."

"But there is no long gun here." An Lu was puzzled, thinking that it was just 100 times, which is trivial.

"Let's talk about it when you can wield a spear. I will naturally prepare a wooden stick of similar weight." Ying Si looked at An Lu's arm meaningfully.

"Compare the weight of a spear to a stick?"

"This wooden stick is just wood. Military spears not only have wooden poles, but also iron heads. And the gun shaft is also thicker than this wooden stick."

"..." An Lu suddenly felt that he shouldn't have learned martial arts in a flash of enthusiasm, but now he is a typical example of shooting himself in the foot.

"I might as well tell you that after the master's restraint is released, it will be hunting soon. If you want the master to take you, practice hard."

"Isn't hunting a matter for princes and generals?" An Lu was puzzled, she understood that Ying Si could tell her that the queen had plans long ago, but it was just to tell her to practice hard.Otherwise, it would be bad to be injured by wild animals when hunting.

"The master is not only the queen, but also the daughter of General Bu. Riding and archery is even better than the sons of some generals, why can't she participate?" Ying Priest said dissatisfiedly, it was the first time An Lu saw her saying so much in one breath.

"Your Majesty, as a queen, will His Majesty let her participate?"

"There is no express rule that women are not allowed to participate in the hunting. Why can't the empress not participate? What's more, the queen of the founding ancestor is also a heroine. In the first autumn hunting, the emperor and queen hunted a big bug together. It was a good story. "Shadow Priest's words were full of admiration.

An Lu nodded.

...

"You treat this wooden stick as a gun shaft, hold the spear in both hands, and stab forward."

"Use all your strength when stabbing, your limp strength can't pierce even a layer of armor!"

"You need to keep your feet steady, has this month's horse stance been practiced in vain!"

Ying Si kept correcting An Lu's posture, and the result was that An Lu's posture was not standard six times out of ten times and was invalidated.When she passed [-] swings, she felt sore and weak in her arms, and she failed in strength for the next few times, and all of them were invalid.

An Lu complained in his heart, he thought it was very simple in the morning, but he was slapped in the face.In terms of posture, she has no problem stabbing more than a dozen times, but in terms of strength, she was stopped by the shadow priest again and again.But if he really tried his best every time, An Lu would not be able to persist.

"Master." Suddenly, Ying Priest came behind An Lu and said respectfully.

An Lu was startled, and when he turned around, he saw the queen standing behind her, with a vague expression on her face.

"Empress Empress." An Lu immediately said, she was wearing a man's attire at this time, and she used the posture of a court lady when saluting, which was indescribably funny and contrary to harmony.

"Get up."

"How did you make Ying Si so angry?" Bu Qinyan asked knowingly, she came here for this matter.

Therefore, Yingsi told Bu Qinyan what happened.While An Lu listened to Ying Si's stern report, he suddenly felt ashamed. He knew it and tried his best, but now he lost his face in front of the queen.

"I can't blame An Lu completely." Bu Qinyan said softly, seeing An Lu's head raised suddenly, Bu Qinyan continued:

"Of course, don't think that Ying Priest didn't notice that you were lazy." An Lu's head drooped again.

Bu Qinyan turned to Ying Priest and said:

"An Lu has never practiced martial arts, so it's not as good as a battle-hardened veteran. Ying Si, I know that you are a general and used it on her. of."

"Master expressly." Ying Priest said respectfully.

Buqinyan's four shadow guards are all the widows of lieutenant generals of the Buwei Army, and the four of them lived with their father due to various reasons because of their mother's accidental death.They were brought into the military camp during the war, and although they developed different temperaments, they all developed their skills in the army.Later, Bu Qinyan fell in love with her and was directly trained as a shadow guard.It was also because of her birth that Bu Qinyan trusted her and became her exclusive shadow guard and was brought into the palace.

"An Lu, you stab a few times with all your strength, until Ben Gong calls to stop, and every time you stab with all your strength."

"Yes."

An Lu held the wooden stick, stabilized his body, stabbed it four times in a row, and then exhausted himself.

"Then you do four sets, quick stabs, and then rest for a while; repeat. Tomorrow you can add it to five sets, and so on."

"En." An Lu nodded. According to her, she could last a little longer with a queen by her side.It's a pity that the queen seemed to be too busy, and left after seeing An Lu prying open the door.

Before leaving, he left a sentence:

"When hunting, don't be a burden to me."

With the Queen's words, An Lu felt as if he had been beaten to death.Ying Si was dumbfounded, but what she didn't know was that An Lu's head was hot again and he started to work hard.

"Take it easy, you won't be able to raise your arm tomorrow." Ying Priest couldn't help but said, the master's words just now reminded Ying Priest of his time in the army.I couldn't help but advise.

"In fact, I'm already prepared for this." An Lu said, stabbing her arm a hundred times like this would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Tomorrow you will ask for blessings, I will not show mercy." Ying Priest took out the bamboo stick again.

"Sister Yingsi has something to say, don't hit anyone!" An Lu was terrified.

"Heh, are you able to speak well? Apart from master's words, it's more useful to get started." Ying Si sneered.

An Lu was thoughtful after hearing this, and she didn't know whether her obedience was because the queen herself said it, or because she was her own boss.

After leaving, the queen was not as busy as An Lu imagined. Instead, she stayed in the palace by herself, cutting something with a piece of wood and a dagger.Xia Shuang next to her wanted to help but was stopped. It was a bit funny to the queen like this.

"Miss hasn't done it for so long, but her craftsmanship hasn't deteriorated," Xia Shuang said.

"Who says there is no regress? When I was the most powerful, I finished it in three or two strokes. How could it take so long now?"

"The servant said to help the lady, but the lady was not happy."

"Which time will this palace give someone a fake hand?"

"Yes, yes, the miss is the most reasonable."

33. Training ([-])

During the three months when the empress was grounded, there was no smoke of war between Concubine Zhang Guifei and Wang Qingya, and the emperor seemed to turn a blind eye and let them torment.

Fengqi Palace...

"Master, the Holy Majesty has a clue about the assassin at the last palace banquet." Yingyi handed a letter to Bu Qinyan. In the part of secret communication with the emperor, Bu Qinyan always let the four shadows Wei did it.

Bu Qinyan opened the secret letter, read it quickly, and then lit it close to the candle and burned it to ashes.

The person who took the shot this time was similar to what they had guessed. After tracing the origin of the assassin, the emperor turned his attention from the capital to the minority people in the southwest.However, because the imperial court over there adopted a policy of ruling (controlling) barbarians by barbarians, although this made them have to depend on the imperial court, it also made it impossible for the imperial court to control all the information about them.Even the emperor can hardly put his hand in, and needs to be tested slowly.

It is not difficult to understand why they used that side as a stronghold and became the emperor of the earth.This local emperor has been in office for a long time, and even the real emperor's seat is like a spy, and he does not hesitate to seek skin from a tiger.

"Master, Shadow Priest asked his subordinates to tell you that An Lu has completed her task." Yingshuang reported back.

"Got it." Bu Qinyan nodded, and took out two boxes from a drawer on the table.

In the past three months, she has been quite free. Apart from analyzing the secret reports for the emperor from time to time, she has nothing to do. Thinking that she wants to teach someone martial arts, she can't use her bare hands.So, out of boredom, Bu Qinyan started doing what she did when she was a child—making wooden swords for herself.

At that time, although Buwei asked her to practice martial arts, because she was too young, and the country was still peaceful and there were no large-scale wars, Buwei didn't let her touch weapons.Unconvinced, Bu Qinyan made a wooden sword for herself and asked the lieutenant to teach her in private.Later, Buwei found out, and did not blame his daughter, and agreed to let her have her own weapon.

However, wooden swords are always wooden swords and are easily damaged. Therefore, Bu Qinyan forged swords a lot during that period, and this skill was perfected.Although I was born with my hands at the beginning, I was much happier later on.

Bu Qinyan came to An Lu's training place with two wooden swords. As expected, An Lu, who had just completed the task, collapsed there like a dead dog, panting.

"master."

"Empress?" An Lu didn't get up when he heard the voice, he repeated in doubt, and uttered bold words:

"Sister Yingsi, you have used this trick to death, I will not be fooled again! Now that the Heavenly King Laozi is here, I am also paralyzed!"

"I'm not a heavenly king, I wonder if I can wake you up, An Lu?" Bu Qinyan's chilly voice came.

An Lu was so frightened that he felt like there was a spring under his body, and he got up after a while.If it wasn't for Bu Qinyan's staggering figure, she wouldn't be able to see that she was so... weak.

"Hey, servant girl sees the empress."

"Why, didn't you get up when the heavenly king came?" Bu Qinyan glanced at her.

"Isn't that right? The empress is neither a heavenly king nor an old man, so the slaves will naturally get up."

"I thought you were tired today, so I'll give you half a day off, but it seems that someone doesn't need it anymore." Bu Qinyan had a half-smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, hold your hands high. Before the shadow priest, she always used your empress to scare the slaves." An Lu stepped up to the empress and complained aggrievedly.

"I see that you are clear-headed and healthy, obviously you don't need to rest."

"Your Majesty! This servant is returning to the light."

"Ying Priest, you should step back first."

"Yes."

Then, regardless of An Lu's protest, Bu Qinyan handed the wooden sword in her hand to An Lu and asked her to try to attack.

An Lu was a little surprised when the wooden sword was born just now. The way the queen was holding the two wooden swords just now made her think that the wooden sword was very light, which was about the same weight as the wooden swords sold in some modern scenic spots.As a result, her right hand sank suddenly when it was caught in her hand, but it stabilized quickly.

"I thought you have been lonely for the past three months, and you can't even hold a wooden sword."

"Uh, my servant saw that the mother was carrying it too easily, so I miscalculated its weight for a moment." The weight of this wooden sword was about the same as the sword she swung just now, and the sword just now was a real sword, but the one in front of her was just a sword. a wooden sword.

"I also used her to practice swords when I was young," Bu Qinyan said.

"Ah? This wooden sword is so new, maidservant, did your mother keep it so well?" An Lu asked in a daze.

"...I used wooden swords to practice when I was a child. My father was worried that I would hurt others if I couldn't control myself, so I made a wooden sword myself." Bu Qinyan explained in a bad mood. Originally, there was no need to tell An of deer.

"So this is made by the empress herself! Unexpectedly, the empress still has this kind of craftsmanship." An Lu said unexpectedly.

"Practice hard, don't disappoint me." Bu Qinyan acquiesced to An Lu's words.

As a result, the inexperienced An Lu was knocked down by Bu Qinyan in a few strokes. Of course, there was also a reason for his lack of physical strength.

"Your Majesty, your teaching is too simple and rude."

"Do you know how all the generals of the Bu family came out?" Bu Qinyan looked at An Lu condescendingly and asked with a smile.

"I don't know..." An Lu shook his head, but he didn't really look forward to the answer in his heart.

"The answer is... typed out!"

"..." So this is the queen's version teaching in person?It's better to find a shadow guard.

"I know you miss Ying Priest and the others now."

An Lu shook his head wildly, trying to prove his innocence.

"Don't worry, they will come to help you when I am not free."

An Lu's hairs stood on end. Although none of the shadow priests threatened her in the past two months, he kept waving sticks beside her, and she broke several of them.

"Your Majesty, violent teaching is not advisable." An Lu tried to redeem something for himself.

"I remember you saying, suffer a bit now so as not to bleed in the future." Bu Qinyan stopped back with An Lu's own words.

"... "

"Then, it's fine if you don't die." An Lu said weakly.

"Don't worry about this."

...

After practicing like this for a week, An Lu complained endlessly under Bu Qinyan's simple and rude teaching.Although she has learned a lot in actual combat, and in order to avoid being beaten, she has to exert all her strength and try her best to meet Bu Qinyan's standard.Because even if she made a mistake, the wooden sword that hit her body would not have any weight.If her performance did not meet Bu Qinyan's expectations, although Bu Qinyan would not say it clearly, she would hit her hard enough.

In the evening, An Lu bared his teeth and applied medicine to himself. Yesterday he was hit on the arm by the queen, and today he made several mistakes. It seemed that he had angered the queen and gave her a few ruthless blows.

"Dong dong."

"Who?" An Lu was puzzled. Usually no one would look for her at this time.

"It's my palace." What An Lu didn't expect was that the queen who had just left came back again. An Lu was a little timid, he wouldn't want to drag a strong man to be beaten!

"Uh, ma'am, it's a bit inconvenient for the servant." An Lu was vague, but she was still applying medicine to her legs and didn't take off her clothes.

"You are taking medicine." Bu Qinyan said firmly.

"That's right, so what's the matter with the empress, I will wait for the maidservant to go to Fengqi Palace to find you." An Lu said in his heart, you would never beat me in Fengqi Palace.

Bu Qinyan was a little surprised. Under normal circumstances, the master should get up immediately when looking for her, not to mention taking medicine, even if she is going to the latrine. However, isn't this An Lu always like this?

"This palace is here for this purpose, so as not to have to go up again later."

When An Lu heard this, his heart turned cold, and he really wanted to continue practicing after hearing what the queen meant.Although my performance today was a bit bad, but that hand really hurt, and the queen hit it too, so why do I still hold on to it?Thinking of this, An Lu felt a little uncomfortable.

Putting down his trouser legs, An Lu stepped forward to open the door, and put up the wooden sword in his hand.

When Bu Qinyan saw the door open, An Lu was holding the wooden sword, a bit stunned as if about to fight.

"Ma'am." An Lu shouted reluctantly.

"You think the training time is too short and you want to practice more?" Bu Qinyan asked suspiciously.

"Didn't the empress think so?" An Lu said angrily.

"Bengong...how did you find out." Seeing An Lu's puffy look, Bu Qinyan knew that she was 100% wrong. She wanted to see how she wanted to quibble, so she spoke in a straightforward tone. Interrogative sentences are spoken like declarative sentences.

An Lu, who was preconceived, immediately misunderstood, felt the dull pain in his arm, and simply broke the pot and said:

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the medicine on the maidservant was in vain, and she made it clear that she wanted to make the maidservant suffer new injuries!"

"Tsk, is there something wrong with Ben Gong's image in your eyes?" Bu Qinyan was not annoyed when she heard An Lu's resentful words, instead her tone was joking.

"Keep quiet, beating people is the most active." An Lu muttered softly.

"Hey!" Bu Qinyan gave An Lu a headache, and said, "This palace kindly sent you medicine, is that why you are so resentful?"

"Huh?" An Lu was surprised, and only then glanced at the queen, and found that she was not wearing the clothes she wore during the training just now, but changed back to the queen's regular clothes, and she didn't have the wooden sword that made An Lu frightened at the news, but It's holding a bottle of something.

"Still blocking the door? I knew I would have let that girl Xia Shuang come."

Bu Qinyan was a little angry at An Lu's several mistakes today, not because of anything else, but because she was going to take An Lu to hunt. With her current state, she would not be hurt by wild animals every minute.Later, after a lot of times, Bu Qinyan also saw the way, and recalled the place where she started yesterday, and probably understood the reason why she performed abnormally today.

Seeing An Lu grinning when he was leaving, he wanted to send her some better medicine.Originally Xia Shuang wanted to take the job, but Bu Qinyan refused.Thinking that since I hurt myself, I always have to comfort myself.As expected, the child became angry.

"Your Majesty?" An Lu let the door open, and saw that the queen had no intention of leaving after entering, and was a little puzzled.

Bu Qinyan hesitated for a while, and finally said:

"I will help you."

An Lu: "!!!!!!"

"Your Majesty, you are talking nonsense."

"...I will teach you some techniques, so that the medicine can play a greater role, so as not to waste my medicine."

If you have a lot of adults, please let me go!I can't afford you to give me medicine!An Lu roared inwardly, and he didn't know what kind of madness the Queen had gone into.

Seeing An Lu's rejection written all over his face, Bu Qinyan wanted to see how An Lu took the medicine.The little thing lost his temper when he opened the door just now, and the empress's vengeance arose again.

"Your Majesty, it's better for the servants to come by themselves."

"Huh?" Bu Qinyan raised her eyebrows.

An Lu's rolled-up trouser legs showed a bruise, and if he moved up, he could see the broken knees of the past few days.

Seeing her knees, Bu Qinyan frowned. An Lu was often knocked down in fights.Knees and elbows are of no use even with medication.

Bu Qinyan opened the porcelain bottle in her hand, dipped her fingers in the ointment, and wanted to rub it on An Lu's knee.

"Your Majesty, let's say goodbye to the knee." An Lu stopped. She would also put medicine on the knee at first, but she gave up after too many times.The knee is worn out due to a fall, as long as I stop training and take it slowly, it will be fine.

Bu Qinyan didn't insist, and put the ointment on An Lu's calf.This is not the first time she has given medicine to people. When she is practicing martial arts, her elder brother will usually be by her side. After the end, the brother and sister will help each other with medicine, just to prevent the servants from telling the mother to worry.Later, when the two grew up, this habit was retained and they handled it by themselves.

An Lu couldn't help hissing, the queen's hands were stronger than hers, and she was applying medicine to others, and the strength was not measured.

"Your Majesty, be gentle." An Lu whispered, but Bu Qinyan almost couldn't hear her.

Bu Qinyan looked at her daring to speak out and pulled away from her memories, and increased her strength by two points:

"The ointment needs to be melted before it can be absorbed. Did you not dare to be cruel to yourself before?"

"No, empress, why don't you come here by yourself." An Lu wanted to cry, but she vaguely felt that empress was not here to send warmth, but to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

"If you still have this virtue tomorrow, I will break your leg." Bu Qinyan threatened.

"..." She really didn't do it on purpose, this injury can't be recovered in a day.

"Hand." Bu Qinyan said.

Without paying attention, Bu Qinyan put medicine on her leg.

"Your Majesty, there's no need, your servant has already learned your tricks." Ann Wandering Lu opened his eyes and said nonsense.

34. Lift the ban

"This is an order."

An Lu rolled up her sleeves, and there were two dark purple stick marks on her right arm, which were left when she subconsciously blocked yesterday.At that time, the pain was extremely severe, which also prevented An Lu from taking the medicine cruelly.The scars will not heal on their own, which has caused today's consequences.

"I was not as delicate as you when I was fighting with my brother before." Bu Qinyan felt a little regretful that she had played hard, and what she said was not the case.

"The servant knows." An Lu responded sullenly, and the emotions that had calmed down before became aggrieved again.

Bu Qinyan pursed her lips, but, as a queen, she couldn't coax a court lady twice and three times in a low voice, right?

Therefore, Bu Qinyan chose to prove it with her actions—doing her best to give An Lu medicine.However, it would be different if it spread to An Lu.The wound that was pulled was already painful, not to mention being stared at and rubbed by Bu Qinyan.An Lu only felt bursts of pain coming from the wound.

Originally, she wanted to cry out in pain, but then thought of what the queen said earlier, An Lu gritted her teeth and endured it.The pain lacked a vent, so they all used the eyes as a breakthrough to break out of the confinement.Therefore, when Bu Qinyan was curious that An Lu looked up without saying a word, she saw tears in An Lu's eyes, as if she had been bullied so badly that she could only swallow her anger.

Bu Qinyan was stunned, looking at An Lu's appearance, she seemed to understand what the "criminal" women in the book looked like.Just like An Lu went out like this, he was dealt with in minutes.

"Is Your Majesty alright?" An Lu whispered, his voice changing slightly.

Under Bu Qinyan's strong willpower, she moved her head and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Okay, you can do the rest by yourself."

"En." An Lu was attracted by the content of the queen's words, so she didn't notice her slightly weird accent.

Bu Qinyan was a little dazed and returned to Fengqi Palace.Xia Shuang greeted her.

"Miss?"

"Ah?" Bu Qinyan broke free from the scene just now as if waking up from a dream.

"Miss, your soul has been snatched away!" Xia Shuang hated iron but steel.

"Just now, I was thinking about some issues." Bu Qinyan looked serious and serious.

"Miss, did you find anything strange?" Seeing Bu Qinyan's serious tone, Xia Shuang immediately stopped joking and asked seriously.

"Before Yingshan brought the news from the palace for a few months, you also read it." Bu Qinyan said while racking her brains to think about how to develop a serious problem from it.

"It's funny to say. Concubine Zhang Guifei attacked the empress like a mad dog before, but she got the phoenix seal by Wang Qingya who didn't say anything. Now she is biting Concubine De and won't let her go. It's a pity that the young lady was grounded, otherwise it would be a good time play." Xia Shuang gushed, she had been upset with Zhang Guifei for a long time, and she was naturally happy to see her deflated.

"It's just that you didn't realize that Concubine De was not only unscathed, but the power of the Zhang family in the court was suppressed by the emperor."

"Concubine De's mother's family is all prime ministers, and they were promoted by the emperor himself. Even if Concubine Zhang is as stupid as a pig, the Zhang family will not be all fools. How many times someone will come to the palace to remind Concubine Zhang, but She is still relentless, what is she relying on?"

"Concubine Zhang has the only adult prince." Xia Shuang blurted out, because the prince is Bu Qinyan's weaker partner and the key to her equal battle with Concubine Zhang, so Xia Shuang subconsciously said it.

"In this dynasty, the virtuous are not established, and her prince does not have much reliance in front of Concubine De. Moreover, the Holy Majesty is in his prime. Unless there is any accident, after two years, Concubine De's prince will also be an adult." Bu Qin Yan shook her head, denying her guess.

"That means Concubine Zhang Gui has other reliance, which gave her the confidence to fight Concubine De?"

"Our Majesty is planning ahead. He is worried that after the cloth family is eradicated, the royal family will dominate. Isn't it just preparing?" Bu Qinyan sneered. Although she cooperated with the emperor, she could understand him just by looking at the emperor's actions towards the cloth family. After all, the Bu family could not be accommodated.

"According to Miss, the emperor supports Concubine Zhang and Concubine De?"

"In the harem he supported the noble concubine, and in the court he supported the Wang family." Bu Qinyan said, and this was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone.

After Bu Qinyan's flickering, Xia Shuang put aside Bu Qinyan's previous anomaly, and was led by Bu Qinyan's thinking and condemned the emperor's sinister intentions.

...

As time passed, Bu Qinyan's foot restraint was also released, and An Lu was able to achieve a small success.At least it is no problem to complete the training half a year ago.What everyone in Fengqi Palace didn't expect was that the emperor visited Fengqi Palace as soon as Bu Qinyan's foot restraint order was lifted.

"My concubine welcomes the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor." Bu Qinyan stood up and saluted.

"Queen, let's go." Guo Shaojun seemed to really miss the queen he hadn't seen for half a year, and he was very enthusiastic.

And Bu Qinyan was also very cooperative. Xu Shi's half-year grounding really frightened her, and she also smiled at the emperor. At first glance, she really looked like a couple reunited after a long absence.

It's just that as soon as he entered Fengqi Palace, the warmth between the emperor and empress was immediately shattered, to be precise, Bu Qinyan's face immediately turned cold.Guo Shaojun couldn't maintain his smile either, and returned to a deadpan expression.In fact, Guo Shaojun had forgotten that Buqinyan didn't have a good face towards him during the six months of communication, and was bewitched by Buqinyan's smiling face.How can I say that Bu Qinyan is a beauty, a beauty I haven't seen in half a year, the impact on the emperor is not insignificant.The only fly in the ointment is that the beauty's smile is like a flash in the pan.

"Since you are the empress who asked me to come, now you are dumbfounded." Guo Shaojun said displeased.

"The concubine also made it very clear, it's just that this makes it easier for the concubine to get back the phoenix seal that was easily deprived by the holy majesty."

"In the eyes of the empress, I am the one who comes and leaves when you call me?" Guo Shaojun's face darkened, and the emperor was a little flustered by playing the king and Zhang family in the palm of his hand after half a year of smooth sailing.

"Don't forget, Your Majesty, you don't hold docile sheep in your hands, but a hungry wolf. Even if Your Majesty wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, he still needs to wait until he crosses the river." Bu Qinyan retorted immediately.

"You haven't changed at all."

"It's not the same, Your Majesty."

After that, the two looked at each other without saying a word, and sat dryly facing each other for an hour.Then the emperor left with a calm look on his face.And this is already what he can do with all his strength, he can't pretend to be in a good mood.However, for Bu Qinyan, this is enough.

On the other side, An Lu was practicing sword alone.Her sword moves were all learned from the three-month sparring with the queen, and there was no trick in the first place, and now that she had an unknown fire in her heart, her sword moves became even more chaotic.

"Hey, what is Xiaolu sulking about?" Yingshan suddenly appeared, and she would also exchange ideas with An Lu in her spare time.

"I'm practicing sword." The implication is that he is not angry.

"Even sister stopped barking and said she wasn't angry, and besides, you're just dancing around and practicing sword?" Yingshan taunted without hesitation.

"You don't understand, come down and fight me if you have the guts." An Lu was obviously angry. If it wasn't for Bu Qinyan and Yingwei who wanted to give pointers, An Lu wouldn't be able to go through five rounds under their hands.

"Come, come, come." Yingshan happened to be fine and went straight to the stage.

The two quickly started fighting, and then Yingshan found that An Lu's attack was extremely fast today, and he only attacked but not defended.

"Stop, stop, it's a disadvantage for you to beat me like this." Yingshan jumped out of the circle.

"I didn't tell you not to fight back." An Lu frowned.

"You think I'm the master, if you accidentally strike hard, the master will torment me again." Yingshan said with lingering fear, recalling the first time he fought with An Lu, he got excited and didn't know how to measure it.Then the master found out that the work that had been arranged for a week in a row made her feel unspeakably miserable.

An Lu knew about this matter from Ying Si. Later, An Lu vaguely mentioned it to Bu Qinyan before releasing Ying Shan.However, since then, the shadow guards have been very measured in their actions, but An Lu will not be lazy with such convenience.

Thinking of this, An Lu felt a little joy in his heart.Naturally, it's not because Yingshan was punished to gloat, but because of the Queen's actions.

Yingshan is also a shadow guard, especially the one responsible for collecting information. She is good at observing people, and she quickly discovered the clues of An Lu.

"Why, you are angry with the master for the first time?"

"No." An Lu subconsciously denied.

"Tsk, it's really tricky." Yingshan leaned forward with a gossipy face.

"I...I..." An Lu stammered, she didn't know what she was angry about, she just felt a breath in her heart, and she panicked.

"Let me guess, apart from lifting the confinement today, the most unusual thing about the master is that the saint came up. But there is nothing wrong with these two things?"

"I'm just not worth it for the empress. The emperor is so thick-skinned that he can still come to her door after half a year of confinement." An Lu whispered.

"You'd better not talk about the matter of the Holy Majesty." Yingshan didn't answer, but she knew
