Before getting off the carriage, Li Zhendao lowered his voice and gave the instructions again.

"Cong Ling, I will go in later to interview the saint, and you can stroll around nearby. Remember, your own safety is the top priority in everything."

At the end of the year, according to the old rules, a copy of the events that occurred within the year was submitted to the emperor for review. It’s one thing whether you watch it or not, but this form still has to go.

The most important thing - this is a rare opportunity to enter the palace.

The level of the Demon Suppressing Department is low, he is not ranked high in the court, and he is not from a famous family. Except for Concubine Yao who invited her once with ulterior motives, invitations to other large and small banquets were not delivered to her.

Therefore, Chief Li took her with him on this trip just to take the opportunity to search the palace.

"I have given Yao Guang instructions for the rest."

As if having a premonition, Li Zhendao looked nervous today, "Her status is more convenient now. Just ask her for help when necessary."

Holding the white mouse borrowed from the second senior brother, Yan Conngling nodded, "Okay."

There are only so many people in the Demon Suppression Division.

No matter how much I dislike someone, even if they have been together for many years, they would never want anything to happen to the other person.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of spring, everything revives. The banquet was still a high-profile event for Concubine Yao, but Empress Wu, the master of the harem, had no sense of presence.

Yan Conling just walked around on the same path.

After a while, a handsome man came over from the other side. The woman clustered in the middle has a cold appearance. Even when she became a princess and came to the banquet, she still went her own way. She wore the same simple and elegant clothes as usual in the Demon Suppression Department. She tied her hair with a crown and looked at people with her nostrils and chin.

The ladies who gathered around him did not dare to offend him and only spoke softly and flatteringly.

"The princess is so charming and unconventional. It's no wonder that the royal concubine and the prince fell in love with her so much after just one glance."

"I heard that the princess is a semi-immortal and can recognize ghosts and identify evil spirits. How can she be compared to ordinary people like us?"

"That's right, that Miss Yan is too ignorant. How can she be compared with the princess..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw the smiling face of Miss Yan. The woman who just opened her mouth turned pale with shock.

"What a coincidence."

Yan Conngling smiled and bowed.

"Junior Sister Yan." Lalan withdrew his hand from the maid who was supporting him, and He Yaoguang looked at her, "Why didn't anyone ask Junior Sister to come in and sit down, so why are you just standing here blowing the cold wind?"

The two people's eyes collided, and invisible sparks flew in the air.

"The princess is joking."

Yan Conling's eyebrows were curved, "My subordinate is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so he cannot compare to the princess's golden body. It will take ten and a half months to recover from his injuries."

"Long time no see, Junior Sister Yan is still as eloquent as ever." The other party gave her a vicious look, and said with sincerity, "I have been suffering from this illness for a long time, and I feel depressed. Why don't you, Junior Sister, stay with me today and pour the wine for me?" Tea relieves boredom.”

It's nothing new that the two don't deal with each other.

Yan Conling is still more calm-tempered now. In his early years, he got into fights on the street when he first came out of the mountain.

She was lame in one leg at the time, and He Yaoguang, with a pair of black eyes, pointed at each other and made harsh remarks on the streets. Not only did this matter become known to the entire Imperial Capital, but it also required the two masters to come forward to mediate.

That's when the feud started, and they didn't like each other ever since.

These noble ladies are not simple-minded fools. It is natural to see that He Yaoguang is deliberately taking advantage of the situation to embarrass his former rival.

She always behaves in a domineering manner, like a crab, which is very similar to Concubine Yao Guifei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Moreover, someone as sharp and mean as Concubine Yao treated her daughter-in-law with kindness. This is also an important reason for everyone's compliments. In addition to wishing that her son Ning Mozhang would be tied to He Yaoguang at all hours of the day, she would turn a blind eye to whatever He Yaoguang did. She felt quite like a landlord after marrying his stupid son a wife.

No one dared to start a fight in the past, and no one would come forward today.

Only Zhou Ningyu, who was following the crowd at the end, looked worried. Just as she was about to step forward and say something, Yan Conling already agreed.

"Okay."

After staring at her for a moment, He Yaoguang suddenly laughed and brushed away the maid beside him, "Then there's Junior Sister Lao."

Her meaning was clear.

Yan Conngling also walked over and supported her instead of the previous maid.

Xu is in the palace today and doesn't dare to make mistakes. But those noble ladies who were still surrounding them enthusiastically still silently slowed down and distanced themselves.

For fear that the two of them would break into each other and bring disaster to Chi Yu.

An arm was lightly placed on the girl's arm. He Yaoguang proudly admired the new green shoots in front of him, but the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "I have been to many large and small banquets these days, but..."

no problem.

Needless to say, Yan Conngling also understood what happened next.

Her status as the Sixth Princess provided her with great convenience, at least she had more opportunities to enter and leave the palace than they did. If he hadn't been seriously injured and recuperated some time ago, there would have been more opportunities like this.

Standing still on the stone bridge, He Yaoguang spread his palms, revealing a handful of fish food in his palms.

The noble ladies did not follow, and only gathered together under the bridge to talk quietly.

The ice and snow melted, and there were no traces of koi in the pond. The only two were dull and clumsy, and their reactions were slow as if they were still frozen by the frost.

"However." She found the right spot and sprinkled a little bit, "There is indeed something wrong with Concubine Yao."

Yan Conling was silent, just waiting for her next words.

"But what's wrong with her is not that of being possessed by an evil spirit. It's more like..." After scattering the fish food quickly, He Yaoguang rested his hands on the bridge and only stared at the colorful things floating on the water. Turn to look at her.

"I'm nervous and scared."

"It is normal for people with precious lives to cherish their lives more and wear jade articles to ward off evil spirits. But her nervousness and fear are really too much..."

He Yaoguang pulled her over. From the perspective of others, the two of them were quarreling with each other, and there was a possibility of slapping each other at any time.

In fact, Yan Conling was only paying attention, busy listening to what she said next.

"You have never been to Concubine Yao's palace, so you don't know. She is troubled by nightmares every day, so at night she will have talismans posted from the head to the end of the bed, and they must be guarded by her confidants in turn. The statue stood in front of her..."

If she hadn't become the daughter-in-law of Concubine Yao, and happened to get an insinuation from her personal maid.

How could others have imagined that the beloved concubine, who looked so beautiful on the outside, would be in such a miserable state in private?

"She must know something, but she didn't say anything... She probably asked me to be the princess just to protect her precious, eye-catching son."

Speaking of this, He Yaoguang was a little annoyed.

After all, she almost lost her life a while ago.

After saying so much, Yan Conling suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Has the palace started raising peonies recently?"
