4-12 The prince returns to the palace

The donkey cart entered the palace from the side door and crossed the Jinshui River along the palace wall. The layout of the palace is the front bedroom and the back bedroom. The first half is where the emperor goes to court and where hundreds of officials discuss politics. Behind the Qianqing Gate is the real harem. , as a middle-ranking eunuch in the imperial kitchen, Eunuch Hai was not qualified to serve in the harem.

The donkey cart came to the west side of the palace city. This place is called Xiliu Bureau, which is under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All kinds of chores in the palace, such as eating, drinking, shopping, washing and sweeping, and other low-level tasks are all done by Xiliu Bureau. Responsible, it has been twenty years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Several groups of eunuchs and maids have been eliminated. Those homeless people live here, and those eunuchs with a little power in the previous palace also like to live here. Don't care about anything else, just be unrestrained.

Eunuch Hai has been working in the palace for some years. He is considered a veteran. He has his own residence in Xiliu Bureau. He also had palace maids who had sex with him back then. But now that he is old and can no longer do this, he just likes to make money and drink. Two cups, it's getting late, there's no need to take the purchased wine to the imperial dining room, just leave it at your door first, I'm sure no one will dare to steal it.

The donkey cart stopped at the door, and the little eunuch was still afraid to move. The curtain of the cart opened, and what came out was not Eunuch Hai, but a slender man wearing a bamboo hat, whose features could not be seen clearly. Then it was Eunuch Ha who came down. The old man was frightened and couldn't walk very steadily. He almost stumbled and fell when he jumped out of the car.

A hand stretched out to support Eunuch Hai: "Stand still."

Eunuch Hai subconsciously raised his eyes and did not see the young man's face under the bamboo hat. He only saw a dark mess. His heart trembled for no reason and he almost sat on the ground.

"Eunuch Hai, thank you for bringing me in. I will definitely take care of your nephew's business. Now I have to trouble you again to find some clothes. You also know that wearing this is not convenient for walking in the palace."

At this time, the sky had turned dark, it was still raining and snowing, and there was no one outside. Eunuch Hai cried: "Grandpa, you haven't hurt me badly enough. Bringing people into the palace without permission is a serious crime of beheading. You still want to be in the palace?" I'm walking around here. If this is found out, my nine tribes will not be killed."

"If you don't help me, the court will kill you, and I will kill you too. You can't escape anyway. If you help me, the court will kill you, but I can save you, so you'd better help me." The man was gloomy. He said solemnly, his tone was soft, but he did not give Eunuch Hai any chance to hesitate.

"How do you expect me to believe you?" Eunuch Hai almost cried.

"Do you have a choice?" It was still a cold tone.

Thinking that his nephew's family was still under threat from the opponent's knife, Eunuch Hai had no choice but to give in. Seeing the little eunuch who was driving the carriage still sitting on the shaft of the carriage stupidly, he raised his hands angrily: "Young monkey, why don't you take the donkey to feed it?" material!"

The little eunuch hurriedly pulled the donkey away, looking back from time to time. Eunuch Hai said with a bitter face: "Follow me, good man."

Entering Eunuch Hai's bedroom, the old eunuch took out a robe from the closet. It was the robe that Eunuch Hai wore when he was young. At that time, Eunuch Hai was not as stooped as he is now, so the robe was very wide. Yuan Feng returned this robe. The creased eunuch's robe is suitable for covering the body.

Yuan Feng took off his bamboo hat, put on his gauze hat, and tied his belt. Under the dim candlelight, a young eunuch with red lips, white teeth, and an impressive appearance appeared. Eunuch Hai's eyes were dim, so he picked up the candlestick and looked at it again and again, as if he couldn't believe his own. Eyes: "You are..."

Yuan Feng's face sank: "Do you know me?"

"You are... you are... I don't know this old slave." The fire that flashed in Eunuch Hai's eyes suddenly dimmed again, but then he took off a bronze medal from his belt: "This is a waist medal for entering and exiting the harem. Except for the emperor and You can't go to the Queen Mother's place without permission, the rest of the palace is open to you, you can take it."

Yuan Feng was a little suspicious and took a look at the waist tag. It clearly had the words "Imperial Dining Room" and a code on it. It must be that all the empresses in the harem had to have late night snacks and bothered the father-in-laws in the Imperial Dining Room to run around, so they specially prepared the waist tag. It’s easy to get in and out, but there’s a code on this waist tag. If something goes wrong, you can find Eunuch Hai. Why did this old eunuch suddenly change and take the initiative to help me?”

Yuan Feng did not hesitate and tied the badge around his waist. Eunuch Hai said again: "There is a food box here. It is better for you to hold it. The guards will not ask if they see this in your hand. Don't go to Qianqingmen." , the guards are the strictest. The clothes you are wearing are of low quality. When you see the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids, you must avoid them. Keep your head down and don’t look at them. When asked, say that your name is San Dezi and that you are new to the imperial kitchen. The empress of the palace brings you a late-night snack."

Eunuch Hai's sudden change made Yuan Feng a little uncomfortable, but he didn't look like he was harming himself. At this time, the little eunuch also came back, and looked at Yuan Feng timidly. Eunuch Hai pulled him over and said, "It's not so fast. Go and sleep. If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful about your life."

The little eunuch was so frightened that he ran into the inner room. Eunuch Hai took a coir raincoat and a lantern from behind the door, lit it and handed it to Yuan Feng along with the food box and said: "This is all I can do. "

Yuan Feng weighed the things in his hands, said nothing, put on his raincoat, lit up a lantern, carried a food box, and turned around to go out. The rain and fog outside were swirling, it was bone-chilling, and everything was dark. Yuan Feng took a few steps. Suddenly he turned around and saw Mr. Hai standing at the door to see him off.

"Thank you." Yuan Feng whispered, and then left without looking back.

Eunuch Hai trembled, looking at that majestic figure in the dark night, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Twenty years have passed, and your prince is finally back."

Come out of the West Sixth Bureau and go straight east, which is the West Palace. The layout of the palace is clear, horizontal and vertical, and symmetrical. As long as you master the know-how, you will not get lost.

As soon as Hou Men entered, it was as deep as the sea, not to mention the vast palace palace, with carved jade railings, ridged cornices, bright palace lanterns, and Imperial Guardsmen holding halberds on duty on the turrets. All these were unprecedented in the palace. In Yuan Feng's eyes, it looked so strange and yet so familiar.

When I was a child, my uncle once forced himself to memorize a map with countless palaces drawn on it. Each palace was marked with its name, such as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Jiaotai, the Palace of Qianqing, and the Palace of Kunning. Now look at these palaces. , although the name has changed, the general layout remains the same.

The map he had memorized finally came in handy. As he walked, Yuan Feng sorted out the layout of the entire palace in his mind and identified his own location. At the same time, he also followed Eunuch Hai's instructions, walking aside and giving way to people when he saw them. He lowered his eyebrows so as not to attract attention, and no one asked him about it along the way.

The palace at night was as quiet as water. Yuan Feng walked alone in the long alley. The tall red walls on both sides formed a strong pressure, making him feel a little breathless. A flash of lightning flashed in his mind, I As if he had been here before, he stopped and turned his head to the sky, letting the winter rain hit his face. When he was about to die in the Qiang land, he had a dream. A man was running as hard as he could in the endless palace with a baby in his arms. There are chasing soldiers everywhere and whizzing arrows everywhere...

Suddenly, Yuan Feng woke up. In front of him was the East Palace, where the prince lived. It had taken a lot of time to travel through most of the palace. It was already the second watch, and the lanterns in his hands had been extinguished. In the palace, except for the night watchers,

Guards, no one is moving around anymore, but the rain is getting heavier and the sky is dark. It is a good weather for killing people and stealing goods.

Yuan Feng hid the food box and lost the lantern. He looked at the high palace wall in front of him, took a few steps back, took a deep breath, stepped forward quickly and stepped on the palace wall. When his strength weakened, his hands could already

He put himself on the wall, and with a push of his arms, he climbed onto the wall, glanced down, and then floated to the ground without making any sound.

The East Palace is the Fengxian Hall located in the east part of the palace. His Royal Highness the Prince lives here. However, Yuan Feng did not come to see the Prince this time, but to the eunuch Liu Jin of the Fengxian Hall.

In fact, it is not that difficult to check something in the capital. As a celebrity around His Royal Highness, Liu Jin's name is known to everyone. He even knows the father-in-law's eight generations of ancestors and their place of origin.

, Liu Jin was born in Qixian County, Henan Province. He had been idle since he was a child. Because he had a gambling debt that he could not repay, he resigned from the palace angrily. Then he entered the palace and became a eunuch. Later, as luck would have it, he became the leading eunuch of the East Palace. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be

As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who wouldn't want to get acquainted with such a promising celebrity, and who wouldn't want to curry favor with him?

Things that the Department of Military Command failed to handle were handled by the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was soon discovered that Liu Badshui from Liujiazhuang was Liu Jin's son. He was not an adopted nephew, but his real biological son.

Before Liu Jin entered the palace, he once married a village woman in the village, and his son came like this. When Yuan Feng passed by Liujiazhuang, he killed the beast for the people. Unexpectedly, he offended Liu Jin. She was a eunuch and could not have a son.

, one can imagine the depth of this hatred.

Killing the son of the chief eunuch of the East Palace offended the crown prince's most trusted eunuch. Even the local governor did not dare to do this. You must know that Liu Jin's future is limitless. Since ancient times, emperors have trusted eunuchs. Although they are of low status, their words carry weight.

It's very serious. Just a few words can determine an official's political life. Who dares to offend them? No one dares!

Yuan Feng was different. He didn't have any regrets at all. Liu Badui deserved to be killed, and so did Liu Jin. He was just a eunuch, so there was nothing to be done about it.

Taking advantage of the dark rainy night, Yuan Feng entered the side hall where Liu Jin lived.

The eldest eunuch Liu Jin was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly felt someone standing in front of the bed. He thought it was the prince who sent someone to call him. The little eunuch didn't dare to shout when he saw that he was asleep. Although he was obedient in front of the prince, the people below him

In his eyes, he looks like a smiling tiger who eats people without spitting out their bones.

Liu Jin suddenly sat up and said in a sharp voice: "Xiao Liuzi, is there something wrong, Your Highness?"

The dark figure did not answer, and then Liu Jin realized that this man was very tall, not Xiao Liuzi at all. He felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself, "It's not good."
