Chapter 132:
The palace is not easy to enter, especially the palace at night.
But this kind of rule does not work for Jun Huailang.
Now guarding the gates of the imperial city, in addition to the Imperial Forest Army, there are also factory guards under Xue Yan. Jun Huailang passed the Xuanwu Gate, and the captain of the Jinyi Guards guarding the gate of the city happened to be one of the Jinyi Guards who accompanied them to Jiangnan at that time.
Seeing that it was the carriage of Yongning Gongfu, the captain of the Jinyi Guard rushed forward.
Jun Huailang opened the carriage and walked down.
When the captain saw Jun Huailang, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted him.
"My subordinates have met His Royal Highness Duke Yongning!" he said.
The Jinyi Guards and the Royal Forest Army behind them were busy saluting.
Jun Huailang nodded and asked, "When did King Guangling leave the palace today?"
The captain heard the words and shook his head: "My lord may have some important things in the palace today, and he has not yet left the palace."
This confirms Jun Huailang's concerns.
Jun Huailang nodded and said, "I want to enter the palace, please let the captain inform me."
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the face of the garrison beside him.
The palace has always been heavily guarded, and the curfew is especially early. At this time, it was already dark. According to the rules in the palace, let alone people, even urgent reports from outside the palace could only be passed through the fixed gaps in the palace gate.
The prince in front of him has no official position at all, and he didn't even say what he was going to do when he entered the palace, how could he be put in the palace?
"Your Highness, you still have to wait for tomorrow..." The guard next to him said.
The captain of the Jinyi Guard glanced at him and stopped his words.
He turned around, smiled and bowed to Jun Huailang: "His Royal Highness, there is no need to report. The subordinates will send two people to lead you in and see where the prince is at this time."
Jun Huailang nodded and thanked him.
The captain quickly turned sideways and sent two Jinyi guards, so that they must find out where King Guangling is at this time, and send His Royal Highness the prince safely.
Jinyiwei immediately took command and led Jun Huailang into the palace.
When they were far away, the Royal Forest Army hurried forward.
"Why did you put people in!" he said. "I don't know why this person is looking for the prince. If the prince is annoyed, we can't afford it!"
The captain of the Jinyi guard glanced at him.
"To annoy the prince?" He patted the man on the shoulder and said earnestly. "Of course he won't. Then you, if you don't invite him in in time today, it will be you who will annoy the prince tomorrow."
—
The imperial study room was brightly lit and silent.
Jin Bao was in a hurry outside the imperial study.
After the prince summoned a general of Yanyun's iron cavalry, his mood was not right. After that, he carried two jars of wine back to the imperial study by himself, and then locked the door, and no one was allowed to enter.
This will make Jinbao anxious.
When did the prince take the initiative to drink? As far as his alcohol intake is concerned, whoever gives enough face on weekdays will not drink two glasses.
Something must have happened.
In a hurry, I just want to find Jun Huailang. But the prince of his family passed by him before entering the door, and stopped specifically to warn him.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will take your head." He said.
Jinbao naturally didn't dare to move, and only dared to swirl around the door in a hurry.
But at this moment, he saw a figure approaching under the leadership of Jin Yiwei.
Who will be on the night?
As soon as Jinbao looked up, he saw that it was Jun Huailang.
Jin Bao was moved to tears.
Living Bodhisattva, what is a living Bodhisattva? Even his prayers can be heard, and he came to Purdue him in the middle of the night at midnight. Is it not a living Bodhisattva?
Jinbao was so grateful that he wanted to kneel down for Jun Huailang.
Jun Huailang walked to the steps of the imperial study, and saw Jinbao, who was guarding the door, jogging all the way, ran down the high steps, and stopped in front of him.
"Your Highness, you are finally here!" Jin Bao said.
Jun Huailang hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Jinbao's face was embarrassed.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that his master has long since let go, and if he dares to say anything, it will cost him his life.
Jinbao didn't live enough, and I don't want to give my life to the prince for the time being.
However, even if he doesn't say it, now that the people from Jun Huailang are at the door of the imperial study, what else is there that he can't know?
Jinbao's face showed just the right amount of difficulty.
"His Royal Highness, it's hard to say for slaves." He said. "You better go in and have a look."
He said that, what else does Jun Huailang not know?
Jun Huailang frowned, nodded, and quickly walked up the stone steps in front of the imperial study.
But he didn't see behind him, Jinbao under the steps looked relieved.
He pushed open the door of the imperial study, and he smelled an extremely mellow wine smell, dispersed in a very light sandalwood.
He went through the layers of gauze and screens, and found Xue Yan's usual case to handle the government affairs, but saw that the desk was empty and no one was there.
Jun Huailang turned around, just waiting to search again, but heard a very subtle collision.
It is the sound of the wine jar hitting the ground.
Jun Huailang hurriedly turned around.
I saw Xue Yan sitting in the corner of the imperial study.
He sat on the ground with one long leg on the ground, the other bent, his arm on his knee, and a jar of wine in his hand.
There was an empty wine jar beside him, fell to the ground sideways, and when he touched it lightly, he rolled to the side in a circle.
Xue Yan raised his eyes.
Those amber eyes, without the slightest emotion, are cold and fierce.
Jun Huailang saw the misty water in his eyes.
He stepped forward and squatted down in front of Xue Yan.
"It's me." He said softly, reaching for the wine jar in Xue Yan's hand.
But the wine jar was held in Xue Yan's hand, and it was held tightly and motionless.
Xue Yan stared at him with no focus.
Jun Huailang just waited patiently in front of him.
After a while, he seemed to finally recognize that the person in front of him was Jun Huailang.
"...Huairang." He opened his mouth hoarsely.
In an instant, the water color covering her eyes quickly gathered, and became the tears in her eyes that she couldn't hold back from falling.
Jun Huailang put the wine jar next to him and put his hand on Xue Yan's cheek.
"It's me," he said. "What happened?"
Xue Yan gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Jun Huailang put his hand on his broad shoulder and pulled him into his arms.
Xue Yan leaned over obediently with his movements, resting his chin on his shoulder.
Jun Huailang felt the warm water droplets falling on his neck.
He raised his arm and hugged Xue Yan tightly.
Jun Huailang didn't ask any more questions, just knelt on one knee on the ground of the imperial study, hugged Xue Yan, raised his hand and slowly followed his back.
Xue Yan's chin rested on his shoulder, tears falling silently.
After a long time, Xue Yan spoke.
"Since he has used me for so many years, he might as well lie to me for the rest of his life." He said.
"Why don't you tell me when you are alive, you don't have to wait for the Turks, I will kill him with my own hands."
He didn't cry at all, his tone was quite fierce, with a deep hatred.
But Jun Huailang could hear his grievance hidden in hatred, like an abandoned dog who lost his home.
He slowly followed Xue Yan's shoulders, like soothing Ling Huan who had a nightmare back then.
Crossing Xue Yan's shoulder, he saw a crumpled letter in the corner of the imperial study.
Jun Huailang did not know that the letter was left to Xue Yan by King Yan.
He told Xue Yan that from the beginning, the Taoist priest who concluded that Xue Yan Shaxing was in accordance with his order was instructed by him.
At that time, when he and Qingping Emperor were both princes, he was still the emperor's brother of Qingping Emperor. He was quite powerful in the court, and his fans were much stronger than Qingping Emperor.
He never put the Qing Ping Emperor in his eyes.
But at that time, he had a subordinate who would deduce astronomical phenomena. The staff told him that Zi Wei drifted and would fall on the heads of others.
King Yan did not believe in fate, so he did not take it seriously. Until the sudden death of the late emperor, the government was in chaos. In the chaos, he was half a step short of chess and was taken away from the throne by Emperor Qingping.
Only then did King Yan learn that the astrology was so precise.
After that, the staff gave him another star.
But this calamity is man-made. As for whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on how it is done.
A few years later, the seven killings will come to the world, if they are always with Ziwei, they can complement each other. If Ziwei is pushed away, then after a few years, the world will be in chaos, Ziwei will fall, and the evil star will take its place.
The evil star is naturally Xue Yan.
Therefore, the King of Yan sent two subordinates, erased the traces of their lives, sent them to Chang'an, and tried every means to enter the Xu mansion, which was in the limelight at that time.
According to the request of the King of Yan, they will enter the Qin Tianjian through the introduction of the Xu family. After gaining the trust of the Qingping Emperor, they will wait for the seven killings to come to the world, and then inform the Qingping Emperor of the false celestial phenomenon. , so that the evil star and Ziwei are separated.
At that time, Ziwei's doom will come. King Yan didn't want to wait any longer, so he prepared a poison for the two subordinates and let them take the opportunity to give it to Emperor Qingping.
Everything went according to King Yan's plan, but King Yan was about to give the poison to Emperor Qingping, but one of his subordinates secretly gave it to Yijie, who was the eldest lady of the Xu family at the time Yu.
The poison did not succeed, and King Yan completely believed that only Xue Yan could bring the doom of Emperor Qingping.
That's why he designed the Qing Ping Emperor to drive Xue Yan to his side, and he himself cultivated Xue Yan and grew up, and developed a sword that seals the throat when he sees blood. Two years ago, I found an opportunity to send Xue Yan back to Chang'an.
The battle of Yanyun was extremely dangerous, and even King Yan himself could not protect himself in that battle.
He wanted to save Xue Yan at the last moment, let his subordinates desperately send Xue Yan back to Chang'an, and told Xue Yan that no matter what, he must save his own life, and one day, He recaptured Yan County from the Turks.
But in fact, King Yan didn't care about Yan County at all, and even for him, the bitter cold of Yan County was his cage and the shame of his life.
What he really wants is for Xue Yan to save his life, until one day, Zi Wei falls and the evil star takes his place.
What he wanted from beginning to end was that dragon chair. Even if the destiny is in his body, he will never be able to sit in his entire life, and he must let the person he taught and arranged to take that chair away.
King Yan was never afraid of Xue Yan knowing this. Therefore, he left this letter calmly, and only after Xue Yan completed what he wanted Xue Yan to do and realized that it was wrong, then told Xue Yan about these things as they were.
Yan Wang has always been rational and ruthless.
However, Jun Huailang doesn't know all of this. All he saw was the letter lying quietly in the corner, clenched into a ball and wrinkled almost to shreds.
He didn't know who the "he" was in Xue Yan's mouth.
"It's his fault," he said.
