"I am a secret guard appointed by His Majesty."
"Secret guard?" She took the cake back. "If I'm not mistaken, his order for you was to protect you in secret? Why did you come out?"
"Damn you, slave! This cake should have been disposed of on the way, but for some reason, the person who went to deal with it hasn't returned yet."
Of course they didn't come back, they were all knocked unconscious by her.
Her slender white fingers tapped the table intermittently, "Has one of you gone to report to him?"
"yes."
"Did you find out the result?"
"This..." The secret guard hesitated whether to tell Tu Qingyu.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the door, "Speak!"
It was Si Chao, who came over panting.
He had obviously run all the way here, and only after confirming that Tu Qingyu was sitting there safely did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He sat down next to Tu Qingyu, glanced at her tea cup out of the corner of his eye, and before she could react, he picked it up and drank.
"Hey, you..." She raised her hand in surprise, but didn't say anything more, as if considering the large number of people here.
After Si Chao finished drinking the water, he said to the secret guards kneeling below, "Let them all come out."
Then dozens of people fell from all directions of the bedroom, and the speed was so fast that it was very reachable.
"There were twelve people in total, why are there only eleven now?"
"There is another one..." The leader of the twelve people broke out in cold sweat.
The one who went out was the youngest among them. He was sent by him to deal with the cakes. Now he has not come back, and the cakes have also entered the Empress's bedroom. He will definitely be severely punished.
At this moment, the clear voice of Empress Zhaoyi came to my ears, "I fainted."
Everyone: ???
Si Chao, the palace maids, and even the eleven secret guards kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look up at her.
She looked at Si Chao and said indifferently, "Don't you know I'm good at martial arts?"
"I know." He nodded, "But the secret guards..."
She stared at him closely. "Besides being skilled in martial arts, I'm also adept with drugs, especially sleeping pills. My five senses have been exceptional since I was a child."
"so……"
"So I knew about it the first day you sent the secret guards here."
As soon as these words came out, his heart skipped a beat.
He did overlook one point. She was skilled in martial arts, medicine, and had keen senses. She could have sensed the secret guards the first day they arrived.
So did she really not notice the secret guards hiding in the dark at Tu Mansion?
Does this mean that she is not so reluctant to go back to the palace with me?
Once he came to this conclusion, even his breathing became more rapid.
"Are you doing this on purpose today?" He asked in a hoarse voice after a long time.
"Well, I want these twelve secret guards." Her clear eyes were full of openness. "Will you give them to me or not?"
He almost drowned in the spring water. "Here, are twelve enough?"
Not to mention the secret guards, as long as she wants, he can give her more.
"Twelve is enough." She looked at the leader of the secret guards, "Go and find the child."
It was indeed a child, about eleven or twelve years old.
But his kung fu is good, and it can be seen that he is gifted.
"Yes, my lady."
During this period, the leader explained the cause and effect of the poisonous pastries they had found.
Soon, twelve secret guards appeared in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, five of them were women and seven were men.
"Can I give you a new name?"
Several people raised their heads, their eyes full of surprise, and then the leader kowtowed heavily, "Please grant me a name, Your Majesty."
The secret guards have no names, they all have only a code name.
The Dark Guard Camp is divided into four camps: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.
There are only twenty-four people in Tian, and these twenty-four people are sorted according to the time they entered the Tianzi Camp.
The kid of eleven or twelve years old, codenamed Twenty-four.
"Since it was given to me, then let me take my surname. Let me think..." In fact, she was also bad at naming, and naming twelve people was even more difficult.
"How about this, you all take my surname and, according to your current ranking, we'll rank them in the order of Hai Yan He Qing, Guo Tai Min An, and Tai Ping Sheng Shi, one character each. How about that?"
These words all have excellent meanings. Not to mention the twelve people kneeling, even Si Chao looked at her with shining eyes.
After all, the country is his country, and these beautiful words prove Tu Qingyu's recognition of him.
The twelve people kowtowed quickly, "Tu Hai, Tu Yan, Tu He, Tu Qing..."
"Greetings, Master. May you be well and safe."
"Everyone, get up." She thought for a moment. "Haiyan Heqing will continue to protect in the dark, Guotai will serve as a guard patrolling outside Fengyi Palace, Min'an and Taiping will serve as second-class palace maids beside me, and Shengshi I want them to go to school."
These two people are too young. It’s not that she is a saint, but she wants to have someone who belongs to her completely in the court.
Whether it is Tu Yuzhi's future or her son, they will need someone in the court.
After she finished talking about reading, she looked at Si Chao. At first, Si Chao thought that she felt sorry for the two young children.
But when the two looked at each other, he inexplicably understood the meaning in those eyes.
The woman in front of him has ideas about his previous dynasty!
But apart from his quickened heartbeat and joy, he did not feel any unhappiness or fear or suspicion.
It was not until this moment that he realized that he was finished.
When the two looked at each other, everyone in the hall who understood was terrified, fearing that the emperor would punish the queen the next moment.
"Okay." He nodded and replied hoarsely, "I'll make all the arrangements."
