Chapter 926: Test the Swords of the Imperial Guards

De Hai's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression immediately became subtle as he said, "My princess is very thoughtful. I admire you."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and pay his respects.

Song Yanxi hurriedly supported De Hai, "Eunuch De, you are too kind. I was just being clever. Please don't laugh at me."

Dehai smiled and shook his head, saying meaningfully, "My lord, there's no need to underestimate yourself. You are a person of great wisdom."

He looked at the peony by the window, his cloudy eyes showing a coldness, "I am old, but not confused.

Who is sincere to Your Majesty and who is insincere? They all have a secret in their hearts."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and raised his hand to fan his mouth. "Look at this old slave's mouth. I'm getting old and I don't know how to control it. I can't guarantee that someone will pull out my tongue one day."

"How could that be?" Song Yanxi smiled faintly, "Eunuch De is an elder in front of His Majesty, and he has served His Majesty well for so many years and has never made any mistakes.

Not to mention, you and His Majesty have known each other since childhood, and even for this reason, no ignorant person would bother you."

Listening to his words, Eunuch De felt warm in his heart, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and said: "My princess, you are really praising me too much.

What friendship or no friendship? It's just that I've known Your Majesty longer and served you for a few more years."

He glanced back at the sleeping Emperor Xuande on the bed and said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and this old servant always thought that Your Majesty was in the prime of his life."

Dehai took two steps back, and despite Song Yanxi's obstruction, he knelt down heavily and bowed to her three times solemnly.

When he looked up again, his eyes were full of determination.

He said, "Please do your best to treat His Majesty. If you need anything, I will tell you everything I know."

Song Yanxi said in a deep voice: "To be honest, sir, I have something to ask of you."

"Princess, please feel free to speak."

Yanfu.

The whole family gathered in the garden.

Some were standing, some were sitting, even Yan Keqing who was crawling on the ground had a stern face, the atmosphere was indescribably serious.

Especially Jiaojiao, she clenched her fists and said clearly: "Save mother!"

She slid off Yan Changbai's legs and tried to run away, but he caught her back the next moment.

Jiaojiao glared at him angrily, and the eldest brother said unhappily: "Stinky uncle, Jiaojiao hates you!"

Even as he said this, the hand that was hitting his chest was reluctant to use much force. He just hit him a few times, neither too hard nor too light, then snorted coldly and turned away.

Yan Zhangkun stood up suddenly, "No, I have to go to the palace."

Shen Qingyun frowned, "Why are you going to the palace to cause trouble for Xier?"

"Are we just going to sit here and wait?" Yan Changkun almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

Without waiting for others to say anything, he asked himself and answered, "That's not possible, our Yan family is not without people!

Even if it costs me my life, as your uncle, I must take Xier out. I can’t let my daughter stay alone in that cannibalistic palace.”

Shen Qingyun raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice: "Take it out, then what?"

Yan Changkun didn't even think twice, "Of course, we have to completely sever ties with the royal family. We can't let our Xier get involved in their mess again."

Jiaojiao didn’t understand other things, but she understood this one about drawing a clear line of communication.

The little girl suddenly became anxious, tossing her short legs and said, "Uncle, Jiaojiao, don't have anything to do with mother!"

She looked up at Song Xubai, her voice tinged with tears, "Uncle, please say something. Jiaojiao can't bear to leave her mother. Jiaojiao, don't leave."

Yan Changkun looked at her, and although there was confusion in his eyes, he spoke words to coax her casually.

"Don't cry, dear. You are your uncle's good grandson. How could you possibly leave us?"

After he finished speaking, he finally understood what Jiaojiao was sad about, turned his head to look at Shen Qingyun and asked, "Sister-in-law, what if someone snatches the child from our family?"

Shen Qingyun glared at him, "Nothing else to say?"

He had the intention of becoming a robber, wanting to rob other people's children, and then in turn put the blame on others.

How could there be such a shameless person in their family?

As she was thinking, her eyes fell on Jiaojiao's pouting face, and she immediately changed her mind and said with a frown, "Why do you have to ask me about such a small matter? Just take the big stick and beat him out."

As she spoke, she waved towards Jiaojiao and said softly, "Darling, come to your aunt."

The little girl pouted and tears were about to fall again.

Shen Qingyun hurriedly coaxed: "Jiaojiao, don't cry. Isn't your father also in the palace? He will definitely not let anyone bully Xier."

"Really?" Jiaojiao sniffed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She quickly reached out to wipe it, and while wiping it she comforted herself, "Mother is smart, Jiaojiao, don't cry."

This simple sentence made everyone in the hospital feel sad.

Lu Peilan touched her belly, her eyes slightly red as she said, "This child is right. Our Xier has always been smart. She has been able to turn so many dangerous things into good luck.

I'm still waiting for the baby in my belly to be born so that she, as the older sister, can name it."

Hearing his wife's voice, Yan Changkun hurried over, put his arm around her shoulders and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, who is our Xier? The person who can harm her hasn't been born yet."

Shen Qingyun glanced at him and said, “Why, you’re not going to make a fuss about breaking into the palace anymore?”

Hearing this, Yan Changkun said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, if I had two heads on my shoulders to deal with something like breaking into the palace, I would do it."

Lu Peilan reached out and pinched his waist. "I really thought you had two heads and were planning to go to the palace gate to test the swords of the imperial guards."

The way he looked just now, it seemed as if he was about to rush out and fight someone to the death.

Yan Changkun cried out in pain from being pinched, but he didn't dare to hide, so he could only ask Shen Qingyun for help.

But Shen Qingyun slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "Dad and Mom will be back soon. When they come, let Dad go to the palace under the pretext of visiting His Majesty."

Yan Qing nodded, "Dad has been friends with His Majesty for many years. If he goes, there is no reason for the Imperial Guards to stop him."

But thinking of the rumors in the capital, she looked more worried. "When Dad retired, Princess Huayang tried to dissuade him many times. I just hope she won't hold a grudge against me and try to stop me."

"Bang!" Shen Qingyun threw the teacup back on the table, his face cold and said: "Qingqing, you don't know the inside story of what happened back then, and Mo Daiqiu didn't really value his talent when he stepped forward to stop Dad."

She thought for a moment and continued, "She does value talent. All those who have secretly supported her over the years have had successful careers and most of them now hold high positions.

And those who are not optimistic about her, like my father who firmly stands with His Majesty, can even be said to be her enemies."

After saying that, Shen Qingyun glanced at his family members and said with a cold face: "What I said today concerns the heads of the whole family. After listening to it, keep it in your heart and don't say a word to anyone."
