Xiaowu was overjoyed. Although Hongli did not let him go back to Yangxin Hall, being able to be transferred to the Eagle Room was much better than working in the cleaning department. He kowtowed quickly and said: "I thank the emperor for your kindness on behalf of Huang Ying. Long live the emperor!"
Long live!"
Hongli took Xia Qing's hand and said warmly: "Are you relieved?"
Xia Qing lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "The emperor's kind heart is a blessing to all people. Being able to accompany the emperor is really a blessing that I have cultivated for many generations."
Hongli smiled and said: "It's late at night, I will accompany you back."
After returning to Yonghe Palace and waiting for Hongli and others to rest, Xiao Wu walked quickly to the cleaning area with a lantern, eager to tell Huang Ying the good news.
When we arrived at the cleaning office, the door was still open, and we vaguely saw a figure sitting in the yard, beating his shoulders. Xiaowu walked in and said, "Excuse me, which room does Huang Ying live in?"
The figure didn't speak, but stood up slowly. After Xiao Wu asked again, a sarcastic voice finally came, "Why do you, Fifth Eunuch, condescend to come to this cleaning place to look for me late at night?"
Xiao Wu was shocked, and quickly took a few steps closer. He raised the angry wind lantern in his hand, and with the orange light, he finally saw the person's appearance clearly. Who could it be if it wasn't Huang Ying?
Xiao Wu was surprised and happy. After taking a closer look, he felt extremely sad. As Xia Qing said, Huang Ying's current appearance is really not good.
Before he could finish his thoughts, Huang Ying's voice came again. "If Fifth Eunuch has nothing to do now, please come back. I still have a lot of work to do."
His words surprised Xiao Wu. He looked at the night and said, "It's almost the third watch, what else do you want to do?"
Huang Ying sneered and said, "I'm not as lucky as the Fifth Eunuch. The water in the copper tank in Qianqing Palace is not full yet. I have to go fetch water and fill it up quickly, otherwise I won't have anything to eat tomorrow."
There was anger on Xiao Wu's face, "That man named Zhao, is he really so harsh on you?" Because the quarrel was not very pleasant at the time, he never came to visit Huang Ying after he came to clean the house, but he asked someone to come and bring a message to Manager Zhao.
, asked him to take more care of Huang Ying, but the latter didn't take it seriously at all.
Huang Ying picked up the empty bucket, walked up to Xiao Wu, and said coldly: "Guan Zhao is a little harsh, but one good thing is that he never fails to keep his word. If he says not to give him food, then he will
Definitely not."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiao Wu grabbed him and said with a complicated expression: "After all this time, you still blame me?"
"Don't dare!" Huang Ying said sarcastically: "I'm just a lowly servant eunuch. How dare I blame the famous man in front of the emperor? Fifth Eunuch, you only need to stretch out one finger to twist me to death."
." After that, he lowered his head and stared at Xiao Wu's hand holding his arm and said: "Father, if you don't let go, I'm afraid the water will last until dawn."
Xiao Wu snatched the two wooden barrels from him and said, "You don't have to carry water anymore."
His unusual behavior and words made Huang Ying's heart move. Could it be that...she could leave the cleaning office?
Thinking like this, his face still had a sarcastic look on his face, "I can't ask Manager Zhao if I don't carry water. Please don't embarrass me, Fifth Eunuch."
"The Emperor has decreed that starting from tomorrow, you will be transferred to Yingfang to work, and you will no longer be under the control of Zhao." Although she had already guessed in her heart, when she actually heard it from Xiaowu, Huang Ying was still shaking with excitement and dying.
He stared at Xiao Wu and said, "You... you're not kidding me? Can I really... leave here?"
"It's absolutely true!" After hearing these four words, Huang Ying burst into laughter at first, and then started to cry again. Tears kept dripping from his eyes. He wiped away his tears and murmured: "I can finally leave.
This is a hell of a place, and I can finally survive!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Wu was extremely sad. If he could come to the cleaning office in person, Huang Ying wouldn't have such a difficult life. As a master, he really felt guilty.
Huang Ying's crying and laughing sound alarmed everyone who had fallen asleep in the cleaning area, including Manager Zhao. He walked out cursing in his clothes. When he saw Huang Ying standing in the courtyard, he walked over and pointed at his nose.
Said: "You are here in the middle of the night
What are you doing with the ghosts crying and wolf howling, and not allowing anyone to sleep? Have you picked up the water?" Before Huang Ying could answer, he had already seen the two buckets falling on the ground, and glared: "Oh, you are so angry.
Sorry, why, do you feel wronged by picking just a few buckets of water?"
"How many buckets of water can be called a mere bucket of water if all the copper vats in the palace are filled?" It wasn't until Xiao Wu spoke that Manager Zhao noticed that there was another person standing in the yard. After taking a closer look, he quickly said with a smile.
: "It turned out to be the Fifth Eunuch. I missed you from afar. When did you come?"
Xiao Wu said coldly: "If our family hadn't come to visit Huang Ying tonight, we wouldn't have known that Manager Zhao treated Huang Ying like this. Did you turn a deaf ear to what our family's trustee told you before?"
Manager Zhao quickly said: "How dare I disobey the Fifth Eunuch's instructions? I will do everything according to your wishes."
Xiao Wu laughed angrily, "You tortured Huang Ying to this point, and you want to do what our family wants?"
Manager Zhao said matter-of-factly: "What you asked for was not to ask the good boy to torture Huang Ying in retaliation for his involvement in your punishment in the first place!"
Xiao Wu was so angry that he couldn't speak. He felt that it was Manager Zhao who was too smart and misunderstood what he meant, causing Huang Yingbai to suffer so much.
Manager Zhao didn't realize that he had done something wrong, so he came over and said with a smile: "Fifth Eunuch, if you are still not satisfied, I will think of another way tomorrow."
Xiao Wu said dumbfounded: "What an idiot. You deserve to stay in the cleaning department for the rest of your life."
After hearing this, Manager Zhao finally realized something was wrong and asked doubtfully: "Fifth Eunuch, what do you mean?"
Xiaowu ignored his words and just pulled Huang Ying out. Seeing this, Manager Zhao quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Where are you taking him, Fifth Eunuch?"
"Of course we have to leave the cleaning office." After hearing this, Manager Zhao quickly said: "No, Huang Ying was demoted to the cleaning office by the emperor's decree. You can't take him away."
Xiao Wu said expressionlessly: "From now on, Huang Ying is no longer a person in the cleaning department. He will go to work in the Eagle Room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the decree just issued by the emperor."
"This..." Manager Zhao said in astonishment: "The emperor is angry that he accepted benefits from the Wei family and leaked the matter of Yangxin Palace. How could he suddenly spare him? This...this is impossible!"
Xiao Wu smiled half-heartedly and said, "Why, do you think our family is pretending to pass on the imperial edict?"
Although Manager Zhao did have this thought, he did not dare to say it out loud. He only said: "I don't dare, I just think this matter is a bit weird."
Xiao Wu didn't want to talk to him anymore and said coldly: "I took Huang Ying away. If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor after dawn tomorrow."
