Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 558

Emperor Mingde frowned and said in a low voice, "You are such a brave charcoal seller!"

Cen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, not kneeling, "I am too timid. Isn't that disappointing to Your Majesty?"

Their eyes collided, sparks flew, and neither of them was willing to look away.

Emperor Mingde asked, "Do you know that you are challenging the imperial power?"

Cen Yuan said, "I have no intention of challenging the imperial power. I transferred the East Feather Guard and the West Shadow Guard only to help Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingde sneered, "Would you like to explain how you were able to find Longjiang so accurately?"

Emperor Mingde was not surprised to find Ma Chuyi and mobilize the Dongyu Guard. The Ma brothers often hung out in Yunqi Academy.

But he was shocked that Cen Yuan could accurately find Long Jiang, the shadow guard chief of the Western Shadow Guard.

You know, Longjiang is his Western Shadow Guard.

The so-called "shadow guards" must come and go without a trace, and have no fixed residence. Except for the emperor, no one else can find Longjiang.

Unless Longjiang himself shows up.

But yesterday, a letter inexplicably appeared on Long Jiang's body. The letter was signed by the charcoal seller, and the content of the letter asked him to send out the Western Shadow Guard to catch the rumormonger.

It was not easy to find Longjiang, so how unbelievable it would be to put the letter on Longjiang without him noticing?

Cen Yuan simply said, "It's not difficult to find Longjiang, because at least three of your Xiying Guards are my people."

Emperor Mingde: “!!!” He felt like he was about to die!

Do you want to hear what this arrogant young man is saying?

At least three of the Western Shadow Guards of his emperor are... It's really heartbreaking.

No wonder!

No wonder!

That would explain why there was always a letter from the charcoal seller on the desk in his imperial study.

Emperor Mingde looked very unhappy. "In other words, you have been releasing people around me since three years ago?"

"Yes!" Cen Yuan said without any ambiguity.

Emperor Mingde could no longer find the words to ask further.

The Imperial Guard was an existing department for guarding the capital. The Eastern Feather Guard was a special guard department established after Emperor Mingde ascended the throne to deal with emergencies, and it also assisted in investigating some major cases.

Only the Western Shadow Guard was established three years ago, with only twelve members. A full list of members has not been compiled.

Unless they wear the uniforms of the Western Shadow Guards, no one will know that they are the Western Shadow Guards.

Including Longjiang, there are only twelve people! This is what Emperor Mingde relies on to rest easy. Now tell him that three of them are Cen Yuan's men.

"Give me a reason!" Emperor Mingde himself did not notice that his voice was trembling.

Cen Yuan was calmer than him, "Because I want to keep you alive! I want to make sure you live a long, long time."

Emperor Mingde: “!!!”

Then, the arrogance was inexplicably extinguished.

He had no hostility towards the charcoal seller; he was just annoyed that the old man came and went in his palace without a trace.

As an emperor, I feel particularly helpless.

But if the reason was: "I want to keep you from dying and protect you from living for a long time." He really couldn't find anything to say.

Emperor Mingde was more curious now, "Why? Do you want to protect me because you love the Northern Wing?"

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment, then she smiled gently, "I don't love Beiyi, I only love Shi Anxia. So, Your Majesty, please arrange a marriage for me."

Emperor Mingde: “!!!”
