The two looked at each other, and they both noticed something strange.It seems that the regent arranged this dumb eunuch on purpose, was he worried that he would say something he should not say?

Afterwards, the two of them didn't speak again to embarrass the little eunuch.

The little eunuch led the two of them to the imperial garden.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the imperial garden is gorgeous.

A stalwart figure with his back to them stood by the path, as if he heard their footsteps, he turned around.

This person is dressed in a purple palace attire, with a standard Chinese character face and deep-set eyes. He is about 40 to [-] years old.

He is the regent Yan Zheng, aged 35, since his wife passed away unexpectedly, he has never married a wife and took concubines again, and has no children under his knees.

There are rumors that he didn't remarry because he loved his dead wife so much that he didn't want to marry her again. There were also a few people who said that he was actually a good man. ambition.

The ambition in his eyes was like a raging fire, and he made no secret of it.Chu Yao believes that such a person is definitely not someone who is swayed by the affection of his children.

Yan Zheng dismissed the eunuch, and smiled at Xiao Chen: "I've heard the name of the remnant king for a long time, but seeing him today is really unusual."

Neither Xiao Chen nor Chu Yao opened their mouths. They both realized that the regent was more dangerous than they imagined.

"You two don't need to be nervous. There may be some misunderstandings between us. This king specially invited Can Wang to come here today to clear up the misunderstanding."

"The regent speaks seriously, you and I met for the first time, why talk about misunderstanding?"

Xiao Chen didn't take the initiative to mention the matter of Heifengzhai, Yan Zheng glanced at him in surprise, and didn't mention it again.

"Perhaps the king made a mistake, this way please, the king will take you to the banquet hall."

Yan Zheng didn't seem to care about Chu Yao at all, or he didn't take Chu Yao seriously at all. In his eyes, women would become a burden to men instead.

Therefore, when he glanced at Chu Yao for the last time, there was only a touch of disgust and disgust in his eyes.

Chu Yao also noticed Yan Zheng's dislike for her, and she became secretly vigilant.

All the way to the banquet hall, King Liang and Kang Yongjia had already arrived. Besides, there were also the Mongolian prince Meng Daoyue and envoys from other large and small tribes.

But the host of the birthday banquet, Emperor Yan, never showed up.

When Yan Zheng came in, everyone's eyes fell on him, some were excited, some were afraid, some hated...

Many people's eyes also fell on Xiao Chen and Chu Yao behind him, looking curiously at them.

The two have outstanding temperament and handsome looks. The most important thing is that they followed the regent, so they had to think more.

"Your Majesty is in poor health, so I asked this king to convey it on my behalf. Thank you all for coming so far to celebrate my emperor's birthday. This king has already arranged a birthday celebration program. Please watch it. You don't have to be polite, just do what you want."

After Yan Zheng finished speaking, several veteran ministers immediately spoke.

"My emperor's body cannot be neglected, I should go and have a look first..."

"No need, the imperial doctor is already diagnosing the emperor."

Yan Zheng directly rejected those old officials without giving them any face. The old official was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and was finally pulled back by the people around him.

Everyone also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit weird. Except for a few veterans who were still unconvinced, no one spoke, only the performers in the field.

The babbling opera was still being sung, and Chu Yao was surprised to find that the opera was about suppressing bandits.

At the same time, she glanced at Yan Zheng, and found that he was looking at Xiao Chen with inexplicable eyes.

This scene greatly restored what they did when they went to Heifengzhai before, and Chu Yao couldn't help but suspect that Yan Zheng was also in Heifengzhai back then.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Hei Feng and Hei Yu have already arrived in the capital and reported everything to Yan Zheng in detail, so they made up this opera.

Just when Chu Yao was thinking about this, an accident happened.

A man dressed as a bandit was holding a sword. He was supposed to be waving it on the field, but suddenly rushed towards Yan Zheng. The sword in his hand was not a prop.

"Dog thief, die!"

Before the man rushed to Yan Zheng, another man on the field pointed a sword at his neck.

Yan Zheng's expression did not change from the beginning to the end, even when he saw that the man was going to attack him, it seemed that everything was under control.

Such a person is their opponent, and Xiao Chen faintly felt a sense of war in his heart.

In the past few years, all his attention was on Daming, and a few forces were in Mongolia. He never thought that Yan would have such a person.

"It seems that an assassin has sneaked in. This king has always been tolerant. Leave your hands and go to the prison to reflect."

After Yan Zheng finished speaking, he raised the knife and chopped off the man's hands, blood gushing out.

The man endured great pain and passed out directly.

This scene was too bloody, and there were many women present, who were frightened after seeing this, but no one dared to speak, even the screams were swallowed.

Yan Zheng wiped off the blood on his face, glanced at the silent crowd, and signaled the guards to take the assassin down.

If you break your hand and throw it in prison, you will only suffer endlessly, so it is better to give him a happy one.

Chu Yao thought to himself, this Yan Zheng is indeed a ruthless person.

"It surprised you all, the assassin has been caught, and you can continue to appreciate it."

Yan Zheng's words made everyone even more terrified, even the old ministers frowned at him, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"You stopped the assassin, which is equivalent to saving the king's life. The king has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. From now on, you will leave the troupe and follow the king."

"Yes!"

The man opened his mouth to back off, and Xiao Chen felt his sleeves being pulled behind him.

"Master, this person is from Heifengzhai, the man you defeated that day."

When they entered the palace before, Huang Wen insisted on coming together, and said that he had never been in the palace since he was a child, so he and Nan Feng, dressed as Xiao Chen's servant, followed.

His pair of ears are very spiritual, even if the other party only said a single word, he can still hear it.

So as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yao thought of Heifeng.

Looking carefully, the man's legs and feet seemed to be limping.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yao's eyes would look at him, Hei Feng's eyes that were originally staring at Xiao Chen instantly retracted, and he lowered his head.

"It is indeed him."

It seems that this assassination was most likely Yan Zheng's self-directed and self-acted, was it to frighten those veterans?

Afterwards, everyone had no intention of watching the dance show, and the Emperor Yan was not present, so everyone's birthday gifts were delivered one by one, and a small eunuch from the House of Internal Affairs recorded them, randomly picked a few and brought them to the emperor's bedroom.

During this period, Yan Zheng kept his eyes on Xiao Chen, and seemed to be very interested in him, and because of this, Chu Yao and his plan to use this banquet to meet Emperor Yan fell through.

It was not until the end of the dinner that the imperial doctor came and said that Emperor Yan's condition had stabilized, but he declined everyone's visits.

When the little eunuch said this, Yan Zheng looked at Xiao Chen with a half-smile, as if he had already guessed their purpose.

"Such a person is really good at calculating."

After leaving the palace, Chu Yao was paralyzed on Xiao Chen's body. Thinking of Yan Zheng's calculations, she felt that her skin was about to get goosebumps.

"Well, he is indeed very scheming. What he did today not only frightened the group of old ministers, but even the neutral ministers in the court will have thoughts in their hearts, and put the black wind by his side openly."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he met Chu Yao's strange eyes.

Huang Wen also looked at him hesitantly.

"what happened?"

Chu Yao raised her eyebrows and said:

"From what you said, it seems that you admire Yan Zheng very much."

No wonder Huang Wen was frightened.

"Well, it's just that he is too ruthless and ambitious."

In fact, he was the same kind of person as him, but when he met Chu Yao, he had concerns in his heart, so he had some scruples.

"His last words were intentional. Anyone who can't help but go to the palace to secretly visit Emperor Yan tonight will fall into his trap."

Chu Yao curled her lips, speechless about Yan Zheng's conspiracy.

"Even so, some people will go."

She also heard that Emperor Yan hadn't appeared in front of everyone for a long time, and Yan Zheng listened to the government every day, and the memorial was sent to Yan Zheng as soon as possible. It can be said that he has completely emptied Yan Zheng now. Emperor.

Under such circumstances, those veterans who were loyal to Emperor Yan could no longer hold back, and would try it even if it was a risk tonight.

As for the two of them, if Yan Zheng's ambitions were not too great, they would not have intervened in Yan's affairs like this.

There was silence in the carriage. After a long time, Xiao Chen said:

"We don't need to take risks tonight. Nan Feng, you keep an eye on the palace. Whether Emperor Yan is really ill or is imprisoned by Yan Zheng, there will always be news tonight."

At that time, it will be the same when they meet Emperor Yan again.

Nan Feng took the order to leave, turned over and quietly hid in the darkness, seeing Huang Wen was very excited.

"Master is surrounded by people with high martial arts skills, really amazing!"

He also wants to be such a person, so that he can protect his father, and his father can let him go wandering in the rivers and lakes.

He also fantasized that he would be able to fly over walls like Nan Feng in the future, but he didn't realize that the atmosphere in the car had become weird.

Originally there were only four of them in the car, but after Nan Feng left, only he, Chu Yao and Xiao Chen were left in the car, and he became a big dangling light bulb.

It wasn't until Xiao Chen gave him an annoyed look that he reacted, and immediately stuck his head outside to admire the moon.

Chu Yao: "..."

Back at the inn, Huang Wen immediately jumped off the carriage and stayed away from Xiao Chen and his wife.

At night, when Chu Yao was sleeping drowsily with her two children in her arms, she suddenly heard Nan Feng and Xiao Chen's conversation. She wanted to get up and check, but Xiao Chen patted her twice and fell asleep again. up.

When I woke up the next day, I learned what happened last night.

After Nan Feng sneaked into the palace last night, nothing happened in the first half of the night. It was not until the second half of the night that he saw two or three groups of people sneaking into the palace and heading straight for the emperor's bedroom.

He cautiously did not follow, but chose to wait and see outside. Although he did not get any specific information, he was not noticed by the regent.
