Zhuang Wan ran all the way without catching up with Yan Cheng. She didn't see him walking into the palace gate until she reached the palace gate.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" She shouted, but Yan Cheng didn't hear her.

"Li Daniu!"

The palace door slowly closed, and Zhuang Wan was stopped by the guard who drew his sword: "The palace is such an important place, any trespassers will die!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Zhuang Wan said quickly: "I am traveling with that General Li just now."

The guard didn't buy it at all and stared angrily: "Get out! I thought you were a prostitute, otherwise I would have arrested you long ago!"

"Okay, okay! I'm out!" Zhuang Wan had no choice but to step back and look at the closed palace door from a distance.

She told herself that she was overthinking it. She was more worried about whether Yan Cheng's identity would be revealed when he had close contact with the emperor than the emperor might grant him a marriage.

The last award ceremony was at least far away, and now that he is summoned alone, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not find any clues.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel anxious and paced back and forth anxiously.

At this time, two court officials in official uniforms passed by her. They were walking in a hurry, as if they had something urgent to do.

Zhuang Wan didn't care at first, but someone suddenly said: "These remnants of the previous dynasty should be eradicated!"

Another person echoed: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true. This person must not be treated lightly!"

Remnants of the previous dynasty?

Zhuang Wan's heart tightened. Could it be that the emperor already knew Yan Cheng's identity and summoned him just to invite him to the urn?

No, no, no! The plot doesn't develop that fast, and the villain hasn't become strong enough to get his lunch box so quickly.

Although she comforted herself over and over again, she still couldn't help but feel worried and kept looking at the palace gate, hoping to see that familiar figure.

As time passed, her heart became increasingly restless and she always had a bad premonition. For the first time, she felt that this majestic palace was like a man-eating beast.

This Kyoto is indeed a place of right and wrong, and it is not advisable to stay there for a long time.

When she walked back and forth so anxiously that she didn't know how many times, the palace door slowly opened, and she finally saw Yan Cheng walking out safely, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

Yan Cheng also saw her. He was startled at first and then hurried over. He looked around, worried and surprised: "Why are you here?"

Zhuang Wan just looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Cheng saw her staring at him with concern, "Why is your hair messed up..."

He reached out and stroked Zhuang Wan's messy hair from his forehead to his temples, looking at the face that was thinking about it day and night. He stood in the alleyway several times, looking at the small courtyard not far away, thinking that Zhuang Wan might be there.

Take a nap under the grape trellis, or just be in a daze in the room...

He couldn't bear to see her, just waiting for this day.

"Let's go! Go home!"

He took Zhuang Wan's hand and said in surprise: "Why are your hands so cold? Next time..."

Zhuang Wan suddenly threw herself into his arms...

"As long as you're okay! I promise you, leave Kyoto and go to a place where no one knows us."

Yan Cheng: "..."

A smile appeared on his lips, and he hugged Zhuang Wan tightly, "I'll do whatever you want!"

…

When she calmed down, Zhuang Wan felt that her decision just now was a bit hasty.

But now that she's said it, it's hard to take it back. Maybe she can live her whole life with Yan Cheng in the mountains, and at least he won't die.

She turned to look at Yan Cheng, and he happened to look over, their fingers clasped together, and his smile was content and happy.

If one day he has hatred and desire in his heart, will he still have such a smile? Will he become as cold and bloodthirsty as written in the book?

"Am I that good-looking?" Yan Cheng said with a smile.

Zhuang Wan chuckled lightly and nodded: "It looks good."

Yan Cheng was a little proud after hearing this, "How can I be worthy of you if I'm not good-looking?"

Zhuang Wan said "Yeah", "That's true!"

"By the way, why did the emperor summon you to the palace?"

Yan Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen your Majesty at all."

"Didn't see it?" Zhuang Wan asked doubtfully: "Then why did you go in for so long?"

Yan Cheng asked: "Have you been waiting outside?"

Zhuang Wan said helplessly: "I didn't even chase you from the military camp to the palace. I watched you enter the palace with my own eyes."

"No wonder your hands are so cold." Yan Cheng held her hand in his palm.

"When I went there, the Holy Sage was discussing matters with Han Shangshu, so he was waiting outside the palace. Unexpectedly, after Han Shangshu came out, two more adults said that there was an urgent report, so they waited for a while. Finally, Eunuch Yu who was beside the Holy Sage said

The Holy One is not available to summon you now, so let me go back first."

"Urgent report?" Zhuang Wan asked: "What urgent report?"

"They seem to be remnants of the previous dynasty." Yan Cheng shook his head and said, "Twenty years have passed since the change of dynasties. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but these remnants of the previous dynasty are still making trouble in an attempt to restore the country."

Zhuang Wan looked at him, not expecting that the words "remnants of the previous dynasty" would come out of Yan Cheng's mouth.

"I heard the old man say something about the palace change twenty years ago. Do you know?"

Yan Chengdao: "I have heard about what happened back then. It is said that Emperor Wen Zhao was stupid and unprincipled, and he appointed the treacherous minister Zhao Tingyuan. At that time, the Holy Emperor was still a general in charge of the country. He raised troops to clear the emperor's side and consolidate the country's foundation. Zhao Tingyuan saw that he had no way to escape and was exhausted.

At the end of the day, he wanted to use Emperor Zhaowen as a hostage, but he accidentally knocked over the candlestick. Emperor Zhaowen was buried in the sea of ​​fire, but Zhao Tingyuan escaped, killing the queen and the under-month-old prince on the way, and finally escaped from the palace, and is still at large."

Zhuang Wan was speechless.

It turns out that this emperor who was plotting to usurp the throne had already covered up the bloody truth of that year so perfectly. In fact, if you think about it for a moment, you will find that there are many unreasonable things in it. But now that the world is under the Xiao family, who dares to say anything.

What's more, this emperor also has a good way of managing the country. He has conquered the Beirong and Xiyou who were eagerly looking at the surrounding areas, and now he has conquered the Nanyi, and the national power is getting stronger and stronger. The common people don't care who becomes the emperor, as long as they can live a prosperous and peaceful life, I'm afraid

Except for these so-called "remnants of the previous dynasty", no one cares about the truth of the palace coup.

However, Zhuang Wan did not dare to say anything in front of Yan Cheng at the moment. She only said: "They are only targeting the Xiao family. They have done no harm to the common people. After all, they can be considered loyal people."

Yan Cheng didn't take it seriously: "I'm afraid you are the only one who feels this way."

Zhuang Wan retorted: "You mean my wife's kindness?"

Yan Cheng said hurriedly: "I mean, Wan'er, you are kind-hearted. They are certainly loyal, but the world is settled. What can they change with their power? Then"
