Cai Ling nodded quickly, carefully keeping A Luo's words in mind, and then said a few more words before going to pack her things. Just after Cai Ling left, a eunuch in his thirties walked towards A Luo, who
Seeing him, he quickly bowed and called Manager Zhang.
The General Manager Zhang mentioned by A Luo is one of the two deputy general managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is responsible for arranging everyone's errands and has far more power than the other deputy general manager. He walked over and said with a smile: "A Luo, our family and
Manager Qian has been talking for a long time, and he finally agreed to let you go to the tea room. From now on, you will be more concerned about it, you know?"
"I know, thank you Manager Zhang for helping me. I'm very grateful." As A Luo said, he took out a banknote from his sleeve and stuffed it into Manager Zhang's hand, and whispered: "This is the same as the previous ones.
They are all buying wine for Mr. Zhang, please don’t dislike Mr. Zhang. In addition, I have one more thing that I would like to ask Mr. Zhang for help with.”
Holding the banknote in his hand, the smile on Manager Zhang's face became even stronger, and he said in a friendly manner: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."
A Luo's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "I know that Qi Kuan is also waiting for dispatch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I was getting along with him originally, but since the incident in Yanxi Palace, for some reason, he treats me as an enemy."
, as soon as he sees her, he will definitely curse, and he even wanted to beat the slave before, which is really abominable."
Manager Zhang is also an old fox, and he quickly understood what A Luo meant, "You want our family to arrange a hard job for him? It's easy. There is a shortage of everything in the palace, but there is no shortage of hard work."
A Luo smiled slightly and said: "My servant knows that Zhichun accompanied Nala into the Cold Palace. Qi Kuan has always claimed to be loyal. Why doesn't Mr. Zhang send him to the Cold Palace to guard the palace gate?"
"Leng Palace?" Mr. Zhang was slightly startled, and then chuckled, "You are quite smart. Although the job of guarding the gate of Leng Palace is not bitter, it is the most lonely. You often don't see anyone for ten and a half days, and you are simply there.
No one wants to wait to die. Come on, let us help you with this."
A trace of relief flashed across A Luo's eyes, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Manager Zhang waved his hand and said: "Go to the imperial tea room quickly. When you get there, someone will naturally tell you what to do."
After A Luo left, Manager Zhang also returned to the house, asked someone to get the booklet, turned to the page where Qi Kuan's name was recorded, smiled coldly, and then said: "Transfer Qi Kuan to guard the palace gate in the cold palace. As for the
The original palace servant... is lucky to have been transferred to the imperial dining room, which saves Mr. An Lu from coming to us and complaining that the imperial dining room is understaffed."
The little eunuch agreed and went to do things according to Manager Zhang's words. When Qi Kuan learned that he was transferred to the cold palace to guard the palace gate, he was not only not sad, but also very happy. He saw the little eunuch muttering for a while, where was the person who was transferred?
Leng Gong still looked happy, he was like a lunatic.
Qi Kuan has been worried since Xianyue and Zhichun went to the cold palace. He had gone to the cold palace to deliver food for a while before and knew what the situation was like there. With two weak women there, you can imagine the difficulties. Now he was sent
If you go to guard the palace gate, you can get some help.
When Xianyue saw Qi Kuan appearing in the cold palace, she didn't show any joy and said coldly: "Why don't you listen to me and insist on coming to this cold palace?"
Qi Kuan knew that she had misunderstood and said hurriedly: "Master, please calm down. It's not that the slaves don't obey the master's orders. It's because the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the slaves here to guard the palace gate."
Xianyue was startled and said in surprise: "An order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Qi Kuan said truthfully: "Yes, I don't know why the Ministry of Internal Affairs would make such an arrangement."
Xianyue looked in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a complicated expression, and murmured: "I understand, it is her, it is her arrangement."
Qi Kuan asked in confusion: "He? Who is the master? Is it possible that someone deliberately arranged for this slave to come here?"
Just as Xianyue was about to speak, Zhou Quan came over, looked Qi Kuan up and down and said, "Are you the Qi Kuan that Eunuch Fu said?"
"Yes, the slave is Qi Kuan." The Eunuch Fu mentioned by Zhou Quan is the eunuch who brought Qi Kuan here under the orders of Manager Zhang. In fact, in terms of status, the one named Fu is lower than Zhou Quan, but the former is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
People, and working with Manager Zhang, Zhou Quan dares to be disrespectful.
Zhou Quan pointed at Xia Yue and said, "Why are you talking to her? Do you know each other?"
Qi Kuan said truthfully: "If I go back to my father-in-law, I was originally serving in the Yanxi Palace, and my wife is my master."
"So that's it." Zhou Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No matter who you served before, now that you have come to Leng Palace, you must listen to our family and guard your palace gate well. Don't come in at will. Do you understand?"
Qi Kuan quickly agreed, "I know, I will go out right now."
After Qi Kuan left, Zhou Quan glanced at Xianyue and the two of them, and then returned to his residence. He said he was guarding the palace, but he basically had nothing to do in the cold palace. He was just hanging out and waiting to die. It should be said that Danfan had entered
In the cold palace, everyone is just eating and waiting to die. There is no second way out, so Zhou Quan becomes so indifferent and ignores the life and death of the people in the cold palace, because in his opinion, these people will die sooner or later, so why should he care?
.
Not long after Xianyue entered the house, the wind suddenly blew outside, and thick clouds gathered in the sky, covering up the scorching sun and the skylight. It was still afternoon, but it was as dark as night, no matter people or things.
If you are a little further away, you can't see clearly.
Lights and candles were lit up and down the palace, but the cold palace was dark. The strong wind made the windows crackle. As soon as this fan was closed, the other one was blown open again, making Zhichun in a hurry. Xianyue pushed the window open.
The chair was placed against the loosely closed palace door to prevent it from being blown open.
"Boom!" Jiao Lei exploded, and silver snake lightning flashed across the horizon at the same time, illuminating the wind-raging world. The next moment, raindrops as big as soybeans fell down, and soon they became a continuous sheet, filling the ears.
, except for the sound of the violent storm, there is nothing else.
Xianyue hid behind the door and said to Zhichun, who was still trying to close the window: "Leave it open, don't close it, come here quickly."
Seeing that he couldn't hold her in anymore, Zhichun had no choice but to come to Xianyue's side. In just a short while, her whole body was already wet, and her hair and clothes stuck tightly to her clothes.
The wind and rain came in mercilessly through the open window, and all the tables and chairs were soaked. Not only that, the rain also dripped from the roof of the palace, and the scope continued to increase. It could be said that it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.
.
This side hall has been in disrepair for a long time. It is fine to live in when there is no wind or rain, but once it starts raining, it is really terrible. There is almost no leakage.
"Master's bedding!" Zhichun saw that there was also rain leaking above the bed. Regardless of Xianyue's dissuasion, she rushed over and rolled up the bedding and carried it over. In order to avoid being caught by the rain, she kept holding it in her arms. When she discovered that there was a leak,
