Duan Fei hurriedly took a step back. At first, he just retreated and defended, but Gu Xizhao took a ruthless move, and the move was fatal. He had to draw out his sword and fight back.

As Duan Fei spared no effort to counterattack, Gu Xizhao gradually suffered a disadvantage, but compared with Duan Fei's rigid moves, she was because of her flexible posture. She could not beat Duan Fei, but Duan Fei could not suppress her.

"Who are you?" After the fight, Duan Fei's face became heavier and heavier. The people in front of him came and went freely in the palace. If he had a strange intention, then...

Thinking of this, Duan Fei's eyes darkened, and the sword in his hand pierced straight towards Gu Xizhao's heart. Behind Gu Xizhao was the defeated palace wall, and there was no way out. At a critical moment, he could only lean back and slid over Duan Fei skillfully.

Duan Fei used all his strength to use this move. The sword passed by and stabbed straight into the ruined palace wall. With the skill of drawing the sword, Gu Xizhao behind him turned around and put the soft sword on his neck, "Guard Duan guess who I am?"

Although Gu Xizhao deliberately suppressed his voice, the unique female voice still did not hide it. Duan Fei narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the voice of a woman. His eyes narrowed, and his eyes looked back. He wanted to divert people's attention with a fake move, but Gu Xizhao saw it through, and the soft sword approached his neck a little closer.

Duan Fei held the sword's hand and clenched it unconsciously, "This is the palace, aren't you afraid that I will speak, you can't escape with your wings?"

Gu Xizhao smiled, still suppressing her voice, "Guard Duan is a smart person and can't do such stupid things. If I turn the tables, I say you collude with me and try to assassinate the emperor... Tsk, Guard Duan is afraid he will be unable to defend..."

Before Gu Xizhao could finish speaking, Duan Fei suddenly turned around with his sword and stabbed Gu Xizhao straight...

"You're desperate." Gu Xizhao looked at the bloody marks on his neck, frowned, and retreated quickly.

"As long as I, Duan Fei, are there for a day, you can't hurt the emperor at all." Duan Fei didn't care about the scars on his neck, and pressed Gu Xizhao step by step.

Gu Xizhao couldn't resist it at all. It was not until this moment that she realized that Duan Fei had not used all his strength when fighting with her. Seeing that the sword pointed directly into her chest, she not only had no way out, but she couldn't dodge the kick Duan Fei was kicked. In desperation, she could only use a soft sword to block Duan Fei's sword tip and said in her original voice: "It's me."

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment, but it was too late to retract the sword in his hand, so he could only quickly stab it aside. The sword body brushed over Gu Xizhao's arm and finally nailed it to the pillar beside him.

Very dangerous.

Gu Xizhao unveiled her veil and revealed a slightly white face. She had not faced such a dangerous moment for many years. When she was in a critical moment of life and death, Zhao Jin saved her life.

"Damn it." Duan Fei did not draw his sword, and reacted and immediately knelt down.

Gu Xizhao let out a breath and waved his hand to signal him to get up, "I am the first to provoke Duan Shiwei first. Besides, the rules of the world are in the ring, life and death are fate."

Duan Fei was stunned and then stood up. When did Concubine Xi look like a charming concubine in the past? The current style of this heroic woman in the world is surprising. Duan Fei lowered her eyes and didn't know how to reply, so she didn't say anything.

Gu Xizhao looked at Duan Fei and said after a while: "Waiter Duan let me go today, aren't you afraid that I will really have bad intentions towards the emperor?"

Duan Fei's body froze slightly, and then relaxed again, "Don't be afraid. The emperor trusts Mrs. Gu in all kinds of ways. If you really have a strange intention, you don't need to go through so much trouble today. Besides..." He paused and looked up at Gu Xizhao, "If Mrs. Gu really has a strange intention in the future, I will definitely not let you go."

These words are presumptuous.

But Gu Xizhao was relieved. What she wanted was Duan Fei's loyalty to the little fool.

Gu Xizhao raised her eyebrows, her expression was a little difficult to tell, "Maid Duan is so brave."

Duan Fei lowered his head and did not speak.

"The emperor was ordered to be in danger. I was afraid that I would not be able to sit firmly at the throne when I looked at her like this." Gu Xizhao's expression had not changed and she continued to raise her eyebrows, "Instead of letting the prosperous era that the late emperor ruled was destroyed in her hands, it would be better to change someone with ability to sit in this seat. What does Duan think?"

"Madam Gu is careful." Duan Fei still lowered his head, and Gu Xizhao couldn't see his expression clearly. "Although the emperor does not have the literary and martial arts of the late emperor, the emperor is diligent and studious, and he will definitely be the same wise ruler as the late emperor in the future..."

"Is Guard Duan comforting himself?" Gu Xizhao interrupted him, and his tone seemed to be sarcastic, "Are you not afraid that the person you serve is a pool of mud that cannot be supported on the wall? Guard Duan is both civil and military, and has outstanding appearance. He is an outstanding noble son in the capital. If he follows the right monarch, he will definitely be a famous figure in history in the future. Don't Guard Duan want to?"

"When the late emperor was there, Fei was the minister of the late emperor; now since the late emperor handed over the country to the emperor, Fei was the minister of the emperor." Duan Fei said, looking up at Gu Xizhao, "Madam Gu may as well say something, there is no need to test the weak minister."

Gu Xizhao looked up at him and smiled for a moment, "The late emperor once praised Duan as a smart man who was as careful as dust. Now it seems that it is true."

Duan Fei lowered his head, "The late emperor praised it."

Gu Xizhao did not speak, but smiled, looked around and said seriously: "I'll come to find Guard Duan tonight. I have something to do to ask Guard Duan for help."

Speaking of serious matters, Duan Fei's expression became serious, "Mrs. Gu, but it's okay."

Gu Xizhao was silent for a while before saying, "What kind of person is Jiang Ming from the Guard Department?"

"Jiang Ming?" Duan Fei frowned, with a little confused expression, "Which is the second son of Jiang Ming, the Minister of Rites?"

Gu Xizhao nodded, "That's it."

Duan Fei thought for a while before replying: "This person was the Lanling Guard before, and was only promoted to the third-class Guard in February this year. Weichen didn't have much contact with others, but after contacting him, he found that this person was a person with quite some ability, but he was not a person who showed off his dew."

It turns out that people's hearts are separated from their belly, but people know their faces but not their hearts.

Gu Xizhao pointed his chin and lowered her eyes and whispered: "I was looking up some things before and found that there were some things involved in the Jiang family, but now I am inconvenient to travel. Jiang Ming's affairs are a bit beyond the reach..." Seeing Duan Fei's expression of confusion, she hesitated for a while, and then said: "Is Guard Duan guarding me?"

Duan Fei lowered his head in a hurry and said after a moment: "I don't dare."

That's defense.

"Do Guard Duan still remember that in early March, the emperor was almost sent to the mass grave?"

"Remember." Duan Fei nodded. He had been puzzled about this for a long time, but why there was no further information afterwards.

"The late emperor gave me the matter to investigate. I just found out that I had something to do with Jiang Ming."

Duan Fei looked up and looked at her in amazement, but soon came back to his senses. He remembered the words that the Prime Minister said to him at the gate of the palace when he entered the palace in the evening. His expression immediately tense up. He took a deep breath and said, "Although he doesn't know what the wife and the emperor are... but if the wife is sincere to the emperor... I'm afraid the harem will be guarded against..."

Gu Xizhao remained silent, "What does Mr. Duan mean?"

Duan Fei hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "Today, the little Huai'an king was bitten by a snake in Jinxiu Hall. Coincidentally, a snake also appeared in the back garden of Chengqian Palace yesterday, and it was a poisonous snake."

"Then the emperor..." Thinking of something, Gu Xizhao suppressed the worries that had reached his mouth again, lowered her eyes and thought, "I will pay more attention to the movements in the harem. There are too many things in the Jiang family. Don't move first, stare at Jiang Ming secretly."

After saying that, Gu Xizhao stopped staying for a long time. Before leaving, she looked back at Duan Fei, "Don't Duan know the relationship between me and the emperor, but I know the most. The emperor said that you personally escorted her to my Changle Palace. Of course, the emperor treats me sincerely, and I will treat her sincerely."

After saying that, Gu Xizhao was covered with a veil again, jumped onto the eaves in a few steps, and soon disappeared into the night.

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment before wiping the blood marks that had begun to scab on his neck. After thinking for a while, he drew two thin strips on the side of his neck with a sword blade, and then he covered his neck and headed towards Chengqian Palace.

"Mr. Duan, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Duan Fei returned to Chengqian Palace, the sharp-eyed guards immediately surrounded him.

"It's okay, a wild cat ran into somewhere. It was scratched without any precautions." Duan Fei took his hand away and let them take a look, and quickly covered it again, "By the way, there was no movement just now, right?"

"It's nothing." The guard shook his head and advised, "Sir, go to the class room to apply medicine, let's guard here."

Duan Fei looked around and gave a few words of advice before returning to the class room to take medicine.

The next morning, someone mentioned the matter of Princess Mingshao and her son. The day before yesterday, the incident of Princess Ming'an being bitten by a snake was naturally raised. These ministers naturally would not take advantage of the issue like the Empress Dowager, but their innuendo skills were not bad.

"Your Majesty, the little prince has a noble status. If something goes wrong in the palace, it will probably cause criticism from the world. I think you can't tolerate anyone."

"Although Huai'an is also a territory of the Great Jockey King, no matter how noble the young prince is, he is still a minister of the emperor. However, the young prince has a special identity. Your attitude towards him represents your attitude towards these kings of different surnames. I am afraid you must be cautious."

“…”

After all these people finished speaking, Sun Yan fought back: "My ministers are so irritating. My son can catch snakes at the age of four. Just two days ago, the noodles snake soup was the two snakes my son caught. According to the officials, the little prince was so spoiled. He was so scared to death by just a star-snake."

Sun Yan's words today were not inspired by Zhao Sansi, but his true words. His family is full of military generals, and descendants of the family, regardless of gender, must learn to stance when they can walk. Among his four-year-old young man, among his peers, is a small giant that everyone is afraid of when they see them.

If Princess Mingshao was present, she would be so angry that she would bite her teeth into pieces by his words.

Sun Yan was rude and didn't notice the black faces of his colleagues at all. He was still saying to himself: "Besides, the words of the ministers are too sarcastic to the emperor. How can the emperor not tolerate others? It's not considered to be tolerant when treating people with delicious food and drink? The officials think that you really can't do it. With the salary given by the emperor, you will slander the emperor and gild others' faces."

Many ministers who had just spoken wanted to sew Sun Yan's stinky mouth, but in front of Zhao Sansi, they didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Sansi sat in the dragon seat, looking at Sun Yan, who looked unconscious and his colleagues disliked him, and decided in his heart that he would continue to reward Sun Yan for the six taels of silver this month. As long as this stinky mouth does not smell himself, it would be nice to use it to smell others.

She was thinking happily alone, suddenly received the Prime Minister's eyes, and quickly raised her face and coughed lightly, "All ministers say less. I blame myself for the little prince being bitten by a snake yesterday. When I received the news, my legs were scared. All ministers said that I had no tolerance, and I would not admit it."

"I'm afraid."

Zhao Sansi waved his hand, "My ministers are not happy at all, Lord Sun, and the problem that left half of the words left half of them can't be changed. I know what you are thinking in your heart, just like the Queen Mother taught me a lesson. I think the little prince would be bitten by a snake because he arranged the person in a remote and narrow place like Jinxiu Hall."

"I...is scared."

Dare to think but not to admit it. Coward.

Zhao Sansi curled his lips secretly, "I and the Emperor's Sister have made it clear that the magnificents live in the main palace of the harem. I really have no shame to let the magnificents move to the palace for the sake of the magnificent sister. If the magnificent sister feels wronged in Jinxiu Palace, Changning Palace will still be empty..."

"Your Majesty, you must not. Changning Palace is the residence of the empresses of all dynasties." Before she could finish her speech, the Taichang Temple Minister who spoke for Princess Mingshao yesterday immediately stepped out and said, "No matter how noble Princess Mingshao is, there is absolutely no reason to live in Changning Palace."

Zhao Sansi glanced at him, then glanced at the others, pursed his lips, and stopped answering his words. Don't think she didn't know what these annoying guys were thinking.

"I respect the emperor's sister very much." Zhao Sansi looked down and saw that he had only a few red hands, and said slowly: "As for the reason why you think there is a snake in Jinxiu Palace because the place is remote, then I saw a snake in the back garden of Chengqian Palace yesterday. Is it better for Chengqian Palace to be remote?"

The court officials looked at each other, remained silent for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and flattered, "The emperor is the emperor, and the place where he lives is naturally the most noble."

"Then the beast might have understood the spirituality and went to Chengqian Palace to gain some nobleness."

Haha. There is a snake in Jinxiu Palace, but it is because I can’t make good arrangements; there is a snake in Chengqian Palace, so it means that the beast has become spiritual.

Treat me as a fool.

Zhao Sansi felt a little aggrieved, "Look at it, I'm afraid that Jinxiu Palace is also a noble place. Look at the beasts who have learned spirituality have all run over."

Everyone was speechless, "…The Emperor is right."

Zhao Sansi raised his eyebrows, "Dear ministers, I think where should I arrange the noble sister?"

Everyone who shot himself in the foot: "...I think the Jinxiu Palace is very suitable."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

...

Zhao Sansi, who won another game, was so beautiful that his heart was bubbling. Yu Guang swept Cai Jun and quickly pretended to be quiet, "Then this matter has been arranged like this. Don't talk about it again, dear friends. The matter of the emperor's return to the palace is my family matter, but my dear friends are so enthusiastic. Look, the emperor has only been back to the palace for two days, and you have been discussing it for two days."

Zhao Sansi really didn't want to say this, and he simply didn't want to listen to this emperor's sister.

However, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

Especially these ministers who were cheating on each word, naturally habitually figured out the words of others. The little emperor spoke casually, but the ministers below did not dare to be absent-minded. Even Cai Jun mistakenly thought that the little emperor was blaming the civil and military officials of the court for interfering too much in her.
