This Marshal of the Palace

After eating, Yan Ci followed the guardian to the room prepared by the saint. Although there were few things in it, it was considered complete.

Instructing the maid to prepare hot water, Yan Ci soaked in the hot water and leaned against the edge of the bucket with her eyes closed.

Things went very smoothly today, she entered the Holy Church without any hindrance, met the saint, and told about her master, but she still felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"My lord, do you still need hot water?" Just when Yan Ci was thinking that something was wrong, a maid's voice sounded outside the door.

After dialing the water, it was indeed a little cold, but Yan Ci didn't think about soaking it any longer, so he went back to the maid: "No need, take it down."

Hearing the footsteps of the maid gradually walking away, Yan Ci got up from the water and picked up the brocade on one side to wipe off the water droplets on his body. When he was about to get dressed, he accidentally saw a bronze mirror in the corner.

"Tsk, it's still ugly." Most of the scars left on her body have been removed by Bai Qingran's ointment, leaving only a few deep scars and the black mark on her back.

The black mark stretched from the back of the neck to the back of the waist. It looked like it was slipped off by some kind of weapon, but it didn't feel anything to the touch. If she didn't look at her, she wouldn't even be able to feel such a scar on her back.

Stretching his body a little, Yan Ci put on his clothes and dressed neatly, went out to look around, and disappeared into the yard under the moonlight.

Dongxia, the Princess Mansion.

"Miss Yanxin, this is His Majesty's intention. The princess must go to the palace banquet tonight." A middle-aged eunuch in the front hall of the Princess Mansion looked at Yanxin, with a flattering and bitter smile.

"Please report back to Your Majesty, the princess is ill and needs to recuperate in the mansion, so I won't be going to the palace banquet tonight." Yan Xin wore a blue dress and looked at the eunuch, her fake soft smile was full of cold determination.

The eunuch smiled wryly, and the flattery on his face was even more obvious: "Miss Yanxin, we are all working for the master. Before coming here, His Majesty said that the princess will not remove the head of the villain. You can do it well and persuade the princess." Then he touched his neck and shivered.

"If you say the princess doesn't go, you won't go. Your Majesty is not a cruel person. As long as you make it clear, nothing will happen." Yanxin still refused, with an expression on his face that he would defend his princess to the death.

The eunuch is suffering. The princess' mansion is outside the palace, and the princess has not entered the palace for a while. Naturally, he didn't know that His Majesty killed dozens of court ladies and eunuchs for various reasons in just half a month. He must be beheaded.

The eunuch wanted to ask Yanxin to inform the princess again, when he heard a voice from far to near: "Yanxin, pass the carriage into the palace."

The eunuch looked over and saw Ye Qingling coming out of the back hall wearing a luxurious dress, her face was delicately made up, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, showing no signs of illness.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness." The eunuch quickly saluted, the smile on his face was completely uncontrollable.

"Get up." Ye Qingling nodded slightly, then turned to look at Yan Xin, who was stunned, and ordered, "Pass the carriage, let's enter the palace."

Yanxin came back to his senses, looked at the luxuriously dressed Ye Qingling and frowned, "But those people..."

"There's nothing to worry about, go pass the carriage." Ye Qingling reached out and tapped Yanxin's forehead, "Go quickly."

Yan Xin lowered her head and went to pass the carriage with aggrieved head. When the carriage arrived, she helped Ye Qingling into the carriage and sat outside with the driver.

"Princess Jinluan is here." Ye Qingling and Yanxin gradually appeared in front of everyone as the eunuch shouted.

"Jinluan has met the empress, father and mother." Ye Qingling walked to the front and squatted down to salute.

"Get up." The emperor raised his hand.

Ye Qingling saluted again and walked back to her seat to sit down, only to see Ye Jingyuan sitting on the side winking at her and constantly looking at the person sitting opposite.

"Princess Jinluan is said to be beautiful, and it is really rare to see her today." The middle-aged man with a long beard sitting on the other side of the banquet looked at Ye Qingling and said with a smile.

Ye Qingling frowned indistinctly, she didn't like this man's tone very much.

What she is wearing today is a long dress embroidered with luan birds. Every detail on it is carefully sewn by Yan Ci's special staff. The fabrics and needlework are all top-grade, and the accessories on her body are also Yan Ci's exquisite workmanship. After careful selection, they were sent to her hands. Wearing them all made her less gentle than usual, and more indifferent and powerful, making her even more attractive.

Now the man sitting across from her was looking at her in astonishment, his eyes full of burning evil thoughts.

Lowering her head and concentrating on picking vegetables, Ye Qingling stroked a small piece of pale pink jade in her left palm from time to time.

"Princess Jinluan, Wang Yanqi of Xiabei Yanqi, I heard that the princess is beautiful and beautiful, and I have the honor to meet you today. She really lives up to her reputation." The man said to Ye Qingling with a smile after seeing Ye Qingling bowed his head and concentrated on eating.

"His Royal Highness King Qi praises you." Ye Qingling responded with a smile, but she was thinking of Yan Ci in her heart, and there was a little tenderness in her eyes.

Seeing Yan Qi chatting with Ye Qingling, the long-bearded man put on a satisfied smile on his face and toasted to the emperor: "Your Majesty is the son of a real dragon, with extraordinary prowess, and the daughter he gave birth to is naturally unmatched by ordinary women. "

The emperor smiled even more happily, raised his head and drank a glass directly, and the queen sitting beside him immediately filled it up for her.

Feeling her sleeves being pulled twice, Ye Qingling turned her head slightly to look at Ye Jingyuan.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the father, the empress, and Concubine Meng?" Ye Jingyuan said in a low voice.

Ye Qingling looked up a little bit, and saw that the emperor, who had always been unhappy in front of outsiders, was chatting and laughing with the envoy from Beiyan, while the queen, who also didn't like the emperor's drinking, was drinking. Abnormally kept pouring wine for the emperor, as for Concubine Meng, she just sat there looking down at a wooden sign in her hand in a daze.

"It's very strange." Ye Qingling replied. In fact, she felt that the emperor and the empress were a little strange as early as that day when they surrounded the hunting ground, but then the two suddenly became normal again. There was nothing else except that they were under house arrest in the princess mansion, so She also forgot about this matter long ago, and she didn't really realize that it was abnormal until today's palace banquet.

Yan Qi on the opposite side saw Ye Qingling and Ye Jingyuan talking in a low voice, their manners were very intimate, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up with a smile, raised his cup and smiled at Ye Jingyuan: "I heard that His Royal Highness the third prince is very powerful in martial arts. , Walking in the rivers and lakes, he is bold by nature, I am lucky to meet you today, and I hope you will appreciate me." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

"It is also a blessing for this hall to get to know His Highness King Qi." Ye Jingyuan also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, without any change in the expression on his face.

After the two of them drank a few cups, Yan Qi's face was slightly flushed, but Ye Jingyuan's face remained unchanged.

"Your Highness the Third Highness has a good drinker." Yan Qi looked at Ye Jingyuan, who was already a little confused, and said with a smile.

Ye Jingyuan smiled and said nothing, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"I'm going out to get some air." Ye Qingling whispered to Ye Jingyuan, then raised her head and mouthed Ye Jinxu, and walked out quietly after Ye Jinxu nodded.

Walking outside, Ye Qingling looked back at the palace behind her and somehow felt that this place where she lived since childhood has become very strange.

After walking a little further, she whispered, "Any news about Ah Ci?"

As soon as the words were finished, a figure appeared behind her and handed a bamboo tube.

He took a rolled up note inside the bamboo tube, took it out and unfolded it, the handwriting on it was neat and powerful but with that person's unique chic.

I'm fine, things are going fast here, and I'll go back and marry you when things are over.

The emperor is waiting for me to go back with my master to propose marriage. This commander will definitely want you to marry him in a good manner.

After reading Ye Qingling, you can imagine Yan Ci laughing foolishly when writing these words, and her heart is also soft and messed up. If Yan Ci was here, she might not be able to restrain herself and hug her directly.

"Jinluan." Just as Ye Qingling looked at the note in her hand with a gentle smile, Meng Guifei's voice sounded behind her.

"The imperial concubine." Ye Qingling turned around and nodded, taking the note back to the bamboo slip without haste.

"I'm leaving the palace." Concubine Meng walked up to Ye Qingling and said softly.

Ye Qingling froze for a moment, then turned to look at Concubine Meng Gui.

She looked unusually quiet under the moonlight, her eyes were black and purple even makeup couldn't cover her face, and her face was full of exhaustion.

"Is it because of Concubine De?"

Concubine De has been in poor health since she was inexplicably poisoned in the hunting ground. The imperial doctor said that although the poison was removed after taking the pulse several times, but because the poison was too strong, the residual poison remained in her body. inside.

"She's gone, what's the point in this palace?" Concubine Meng forced a smile, with tears in her eyes, "This palace has always said that it will protect her and prevent her from any harm, but she is still forced to What's the point of Bengong sitting in this imperial concubine's seat if someone is poisoned to death? Is there still half a place in this palace for Bengong to miss?"

A sentence of condolences was stuck in her throat for a long time, and Ye Qingling didn't know how long the relationship between Concubine Meng Gui and Concubine De was, but she knew that this relationship was no less shallow than the relationship between herself and Yan Ci.

Think about it, if something happened to Yan Ci, she would never be able to hide her feelings like Concubine Meng.

"Ayan told me that she wanted to visit the mountains and rivers and see those famous rivers and mountains. She can't go to see them, so I can only go to see them for her." She kept staring blankly at the front, the corners of her lips raised with a bit of tenderness.

"When will you leave the palace?" Ye Qingling knew that if Concubine Meng Guifei would tell her about leaving the palace, she must be ready to leave the palace, so she didn't ask what help she needed.

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Concubine Meng turned to look at her, "The current situation of Your Majesty and the Empress is very wrong, you have to be careful, but you should have someone to protect you, and the envoy of Bei Yan, you need more Be careful, I always feel that they have bad intentions."

Concubine Meng Gui has been intriguing in the harem for so many years, although she is not very concerned about government affairs, her ability to judge people is not a cover, she can see at a glance what the purpose of those envoys may be, but she can't guess what it is.

"Well, I will send someone to pay attention." Ye Qingling nodded.
