This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Yan Qing was originally guarding outside the hall, but when he heard that Xing Chenmu was looking for him, he quickly entered to salute.

Xing Chenmu didn't go around in circles with him, and asked directly: "I heard that Ning Shanggong wanted to chat with you today, but what did you say?"

Yan Qing didn't expect that Xing Chenmu would suddenly ask about this, so he held back for a long time before knelt down and replied: "Go back to the Holy Majesty, Ning Shanggong is, I'm asking if the servant intends to eat with others."

In the deep palace, resentment and boredom, it is common for eunuchs and maids to form anti-food couples.

From Xing Chenmu's standpoint, he neither encourages nor deliberately punishes him, but he was stunned when he heard it: "Ning Shanggong wants to match you?"

"It's...slave, and this servant was also confused for a moment. I didn't dare to reject Ningshang Palace's good intentions. I hope the Holy One will forgive me." Yan Qing blushed and said tremblingly.

"It's not a big deal." Xing Chenmu smiled, "Yan Qing, if I remember correctly, you will be thirty this year, right? If you haven't entered the palace, you must have already married and established a business. You have served me for many years. I neglected it."

"The servant came to the side of the Holy One, and he only wanted to serve the Holy One well. Today's matter... This matter is really a momentary confusion of the slave."

Although Yan Qing is an eunuch, but he looks quite upright, and as the head of the palace, he serves in front of the Holy Majesty all the year round. There are so many court ladies in the palace who want to find him to feed him. He himself has never thought about this before.

Today Ning Jie came to him for this matter, and he himself was very surprised, but after the surprise, he was unavoidably shaken, not to mention the appearance and personality of the palace maid that Ning Jie introduced to him, but just because of Ning Jie's face, he wanted to given.

He went to meet the court lady named Xiaoying with the mentality of trying, and the two only exchanged a few words, but he didn't expect the news to reach Xing Chenmu so quickly, and he was really regretful at this moment.

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to inquire about crimes, you should get up first." Xing Chenmu didn't tell Yan Qing about Ning Yuan's conspiracy back then, but picked up some of Ning Jie's reasons for entering the palace, and said, "Ning Jie entered the palace to go to my harem, but it was far more than that. It seems that the maid was sent by Ning Yuan to the palace first. Since they came to you, you should treat it as doing things for me. , follow the trend and accept Ning Shanggong's love."

"This... the servant knows, so if they ask about your Majesty, should the servant tell them?" Ning Yuan sent someone close to Yan Qing to find out about Xing Chenmu, he was a little uncertain How to deal with it.

"If they ask you anything, you can answer it truthfully, but tell me what they asked you and what you answered later."

Yan Qing bowed and saluted: "Yes, I understand, I will go to reply to Ningshang Palace tomorrow."

"Don't be so anxious, they are trying to win you over now, you can delay it for a few days, get in touch with that maid, and explain to Ningshang Palace when the time is right." Yan Qing didn't care too much about the matter of food at first. Interest, presumably Ning Jie can also see it, but it would be suspicious if he suddenly changed his attitude.

"The slave obeys."

Xing Chenmu thought for a while and said: "As for the food match, when I have a chance in the future, I will personally pick a suitable candidate for you."

Yan Qing was taken aback, she had never heard of any emperor personally pointing out the cannibal for the eunuch: "Slave, I don't dare to bother my majesty."

"We'll discuss this matter in the future. You don't have to wait on me today. Let's go down and think about how to deal with Ning Shang Palace."

After Yan Qing withdrew from the Chengyang Hall, Zhuo Ying planned to let the shadow guards waiting outside enter, but Xing Chenmu stopped him and asked, "What's wrong with Zhuo Qing today? Is something on your mind?"

Zhuo Ying was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "No subordinate."

"Since I asked you, if you don't say anything, you will be deceiving the emperor." Xing Chenmu raised his eyes and chuckled, "Ever since I came out of Zhengquan Palace, I have noticed that your mood is not right, why, you don't want to worry about it right now. Talk to me?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Zhuo Ying originally wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but thought that she never lied in front of Xing Chenmu. Since she realized her shameful thoughts towards Xing Chenmu, she always couldn't help but say some deceitful words for her own selfishness. It is too inappropriate.

Thinking of this, he knelt down again: "This subordinate deserves to die."

"Why do you deserve to die again?" Xing Chenmu sighed and helped him up, "No matter what you think or do, I don't think you deserve to die, but you have the problem of kneeling every now and then. I feel uncomfortable seeing it, and I should Changed."

"Yes......"

"Okay, let's talk about it, what happened in Zhengquan Palace? Is someone looking for you?" Xing Chenmu guessed wildly, but it wasn't that he didn't pay attention to Zhuo Ying when he was chatting with the queen mother, knowing that he had no contact with others However, not to mention that Zhuo Ying belonged to him, how many people in the palace dared to make Zhuo Ying unhappy.

Zhuo Ying lowered his head, his face behind the mask was almost pale, after a while he loosened his clenched teeth, and said truthfully: "I don't understand something, I want to ask the Holy One, but I know it's my fault, so I keep on I dare not speak."

Xing Chenmu was a little surprised: "I will tell you everything you want to know, just ask."

Zhuo Ying himself knew very well how good Xing Chenmu had been to Zhuo Ying these years, and he didn't know if it was because of this that he had made more and more mistakes recently, often even he himself felt that the Holy Spirit was too indulgent.

But even though he knew that he would not be punished, he still hesitated and asked the words that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Is the person whom the Holy Majesty mentioned before... is Liu Shanggong? "

"Liu Shanggong?" Xing Chenmu even thought for a moment before he realized who Zhuo Ying was referring to, "You mean the female official who once served in Xuanming Palace?"

Zhuo Ying said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xing Chenmu immediately understood why Zhuo Ying was so abnormal, he clearly misunderstood!

But after thinking about it again, with Zhuo Ying's calm personality, he couldn't hide his emotions at this time and let him see it, which showed that the other party really cared about him very much, and he was really sad because of this misunderstanding.

"No, it's not her." Xing Chenmu felt a little distressed. He really couldn't reveal his feelings to Zhuo Ying right now, so he could only try his best to explain, "Liu Shanggong will soon be in the palace for five years, and I have already approved her." Going out of the palace to get married is just in time for the Gongsun family and the Ning family to arrange someone for me, and it is only today that I know that the nun in charge has transferred her to the queen mother."

It turned out that it wasn't that Liu Shanggong... Zhuo Ying just nodded quietly again after hearing this, and her mood didn't get any better. It wasn't her, it could be someone else. Will be vacant for too long.

But these are not things that he, the commander of the shadow guard, can say. He can only slowly bow down and say: "This subordinate has surpassed."

"You have nothing to overstep here. If you want to know anything, just ask. It's just about my future queen. It's really inconvenient for me to disclose it to you now, but I guarantee that this person must be someone you are willing to accept and recognize. of."

"Your Majesty was joking. You have no right to ask who you appoint as your successor, so how can you accept or approve it?" Zhuo Ying said calmly, lowered her eyes, and thought silently in her heart. No matter who the Majesty likes, he may be selfish. They are all unacceptable.

Even if the two people's identities are very different, even if they are both men, even if they know that they are wrong, once they are moved, how can they be controlled by themselves.

Dreaming back at midnight, there will always be unrealistic fantasies, and after waking up, she will fall into self-loathing and cannot extricate herself. Zhuo Ying feels that she has fallen into a quagmire, and the more she struggles, the deeper she sinks.

Xing Chenmu frowned, Zhuo Ying acted calmly, but he could feel the hesitation and helplessness in the other party's heart, so he couldn't help raising his hand to caress his pale cheek, but fortunately, there was still a sliver of reason, the palm was approaching the silver half face It was crooked for a while, and in the end it was just resting on his shoulders: "Zhuo Ying, many things, no one can be sure how they will develop before they happen, right? You don't have to think about my future queen. , when the time is right, we will naturally know.”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Zhuo Ying said so, Xing Chenmu had no choice but to remember something, and suddenly said: "Last time I asked you what reward you want, you just asked me to add the number of personal guards, but this is your duty. It is also for my safety, so how can it be regarded as a reward."

"I have a jade pendant here. I have been with you for many years. Why don't I give it to you as a compensation for letting you take off your mask in front of Brother Wang last time." Xing Chenmu said as he untied the jade pendant from his neck. , and handed it to Zhuo Ying.
