"Stop shouting, the person has already left." Wei Xicheng didn't care about the royal etiquette, and pulled Xiao Taozi's collar and walked straight to the bedroom.
"Don't be careless, Your Majesty! Your safety is the most important!" Xiao Taozi didn't dare to struggle and could only follow Wei Xicheng's steps backwards. "There are actually villains so bold in this palace!"
"I understand..." Wei Xicheng let go of Xiao Taozi's collar and looked at the leader of the imperial guards who was leading the team and running towards him.
"I am late in protecting you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me for being late!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Wei Xicheng looked at the people kneeling in front of him, waved his hand, and walked past them, "Xiao Taozi, follow me."
"Yes!" Little Taozi walked past the leader of the Royal Guards and couldn't help making a face as he moved closer to the leader. Before the leader drew his sword, he hurriedly caught up with his own emperor.
This leader of the imperial guards has always had a sullen face since before the emperor ascended the throne, which makes people tremble with fear. Since the emperor ascended the throne, this man has always been stern and has never lowered his attitude even when he met the emperor.
I heard that this man was promoted by General Yan Bei. After General Yan Bei was ordered to go to the border, this man has been the leader of the imperial guard. Xiao Taozi can see clearly that this job is not so much to gild this man's face, but rather a nail planted by Yan Bei in the palace.
Unfortunately, the previous emperor was already overwhelmed by the border war and had no choice but to send Yan Bei to support the border war. However, the previous emperor trusted Yan Bei very much and allowed him to place his confidant in such a dangerous and critical position.
It would be fine if Yan Bei had no rebellious intentions and only released such a person to protect the late emperor. But if he had any ulterior motives, the palace would be attacked from both inside and outside.
In the original plot, such an unreasonable bug pulled the original owner, the puppet emperor, off the throne, but in Wei Xicheng's hands, it might be a good move.
Therefore, Wei Xicheng did not care about the attitude of the leader of the Imperial Guard towards him at this time. He probably thought that it was not his turn to be the emperor. Wei Xicheng pursed his lips and quickened his pace. Now he was completely sure that Yan Bei had returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.
But the report he received was that General Yan Bei had just set off.
Good, very good.
Wei Xicheng didn't even think about it. The news he received had been passed through many waves of people. What's more, Yan Bei himself didn't want to return to the public's sight so soon.
He is not in the imperial capital for a long time. If he shows up rashly at this time, he will easily be entangled by various forces. At that time, all kinds of monsters will come out to confuse his vision, making it difficult for his confidants to get the latest news, and unable to easily see the current situation.
Yan Bei stood on a tall building in the palace. Less than half an hour later, another figure also jumped up lightly and stood behind him. He bowed slightly to him and called him respectfully, "General, I am late."
"No problem." Yan Bei withdrew his gaze from the emperor's bedroom, turned around and looked at his subordinate whom he had not seen for a long time, "The late emperor...is there anything strange?"
The leader of the Imperial Guard knew that General Yan Bei could not accept the death of the previous emperor. This was because the previous emperor treated General Yan just as General Yan treated himself, both of them were like a good horse trainer and a good horse. Without the former, there would be no such a glorious latter.
"I have checked carefully, and there is nothing." The words of the leader of the Imperial Guard have put an end to the matter of the death of the late emperor. It also indirectly proves that although the current empress dowager used means to prevent the spread of the news of the death of the late emperor at the first time and sent the unlearned seventh prince to the throne, she did not have the courage to do such a treasonous thing as regicide.
Yan Bei sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's what my subordinates should do." The leader of the Imperial Guard lowered his head, his throat moved, and there were some things he didn't know whether he should tell General Yan Bei.
His little action was well concealed, but it still couldn't be hidden from Yan Bei's eyes. Yan Bei walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Just say whatever you want to say. Now you are also a capable leader of the Imperial Guards."
The leader looked up at Yan Bei and paused, "In my opinion, the current leader is not a wise leader. The relationship between the princes and the general is not warm, why don't you..."
He didn't finish his speech, but instead put his hand around his neck, revealing his wolfish ambitions.
Yan Bei frowned, "Why do you have such an idea?"
"General, you have risked your life many times to plan for a peaceful and prosperous era. Most of this country was built by you, but now you have aroused the suspicion of the monarch for no reason. It will be difficult to determine the life and death of your military power in the future. Are you willing to accept this?"
By the end of his speech, the leader's eyes were red. "Rather than letting that idiot be the emperor, I'd rather you sit on the throne!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yan Bei's face turned cold. "Who owns this country? I know better than you. The late emperor was kind to me. How can I be ungrateful and do such a cruel thing when his body is still warm?"
"General!" The leader gritted his teeth and took a step forward. "I am well-informed in the palace. I have heard more than once that the little emperor suspects you of having rebellious intentions! I am afraid that after you show up, he will force you to hand over the tiger talisman! It is better to take the initiative to avoid being passive, General!"
"The young emperor is illiterate and has no talent for governing a country. The other princes will inevitably fight for it, and there will be another round of turmoil. If you find evidence that the Queen Mother and the young emperor have killed the emperor, you..."
The leader pointed out the most crucial point. He was the leader of the imperial guards, so it would be easy for him to find some "evidence".
"Don't mention this matter again." Yan Bei stared at the leader, "Don't act rashly. I have made up my mind. If you do something you shouldn't do, I won't let you off easily."
"Yes." The leader lowered his eyes and took a half step back. His hands hanging by his side were indeed tightly clenched into fists. He was unwilling to accept this. The general was in his thirties and had already made many military achievements, but he was forced to hand over power because of the suspicion of the people in power. The rest of his life...
There was a slight sound of tiles clattering, and when the leader raised his eyes again, Yan Bei had disappeared.

Wei Xicheng lay diagonally on the dragon bed, picking up a bunch of grapes and stuffing them into his mouth. No wonder so many people want to be a tyrant. Being a tyrant is so comfortable. Leave state affairs to others and enjoy luxury for yourself.
He thought for a moment, and probably thought that Yu Beiyan had already noticed his difference. Thinking of this, Wei Xicheng opened the system panel and prepared to see where Yu Beiyan was, but he didn't expect that the symbol of that familiar energy was superimposed on his position.
"Puff - cough, cough, cough." Wei Xicheng spat out a few grape seeds, but the grape that he should have swallowed got stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it or cough it out. He felt so uncomfortable that tears were about to come out.
Yan Bei did sneak into the emperor's bedroom without making any noise, but he came with a serious purpose. The place where he stood this afternoon was very hidden, and he even held his breath to reduce his breath and presence.
Even masters of the same level as him would find it difficult to discover his existence, so how did the little emperor discover it? In his impression, the seventh prince was unlearned and had no ambition since childhood.
To stop the leader's actions, it was necessary to further observe the new emperor to see if he was as harmless as he appeared. If he had learned to disguise himself since childhood, then the new emperor's scheming and perseverance had reached a terrifying level.
Yan Bei hid on the beam of the bedroom. For some reason, the little emperor on the dragon bed below started coughing. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the little emperor seemed to look back at his hiding place frequently when coughing.
Could it be that he had already discovered him? Yan Bei immediately rejected this idea of his. If he had already discovered him, the emperor would have valued his life the most. Without knowing who was coming, he would have definitely called for help immediately, instead of...
Although he thought so, Yan Bei still moved his body so that his body was completely hidden behind the beams.
Wei Xicheng took the glass of water handed to him by Xiao Taozi and gulped down half of it before swallowing the soft fruit stuck in his throat. He glanced up with resentment, wondering if this pervert was addicted to peeping.
He continued to enlarge the small map on the system panel, and finally he could roughly know which beam Yu Beiyan was on.
Although he was almost choked to death, Wei Xicheng was still a little happy in his heart. In every world, Yu Beiyan would accurately find him and pay great attention to him. It is possible that General Yan Bei has already realized that he has a very disrespectful thought towards the emperor. Hehehe.
Wei Xicheng placed the cup on Xiao Taozi's tray and said, "Go away. I want to be alone for a while."
"Yes." Xiao Taozi stopped smiling, tiptoed out, and considerately helped Wei Xicheng close the curtains and the door.
At this time, the only people left in the empty dormitory were Wei Xicheng and General Yan on Gaoliang.
Wei Xicheng reached out and fiddled with the tassels on the tent. In this world, although he had never seen the parents of this body, he could tell how beautiful the original owner's mother was just by looking at the original owner's appearance.
The narrow and slightly upturned eyebrows, the straight and delicate bridge of the nose, and the naturally rosy lips, the word that comes to anyone's mind at first sight is bound to be "beauty".
His original appearance was slightly feminine, but he was always too lively and often got into trouble, which made people who often saw his appearance ignore the "gentleness" in it.
Wei Xicheng looked at the tassels on the tent, and finally sat up and hung the tent again so that his old man could see his handsome face.
He lay on the couch, half-closed his eyes, in a beautiful sleeping posture, quietly waiting for the next move of "The Great Thief Yan Bei".
…
No movement. No sound. Nothing.
Wei Xicheng opened his eyes and turned his gaze slightly towards the beam where Yu Beiyan was. Could he have fallen asleep there?
The author has something to say: Wei Xicheng: MMP! Do you have another dog outside?
Yu Beiyan: No. I have a cat outside.
Wei Xicheng (his smile gradually froze): Very good, I will hold a general election in three days to enrich my harem!
Yu Beiyan: It’s a real cat.
(Meow~ A weak cat cry came from a distance...)
