It was a short journey from Kunning Palace to where the shoulder carriage was parked. Nala was covered in cold sweat while walking. He was already weak. He had lost his breath several times just now and was even more unbearable. However, he still managed to get on the shoulder carriage.
, go to Yangxin Hall.
At that time, the Yangxin Hall had just left the court. Sixi presented the memorials he had received in the court hall to the imperial case. Then he bowed and retreated. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was grabbed by someone. When he looked closely, it was
Su Peisheng, who looked serious, said strangely: "What's wrong?"
Su Peisheng didn't say a word. When he was about to reach a deserted place, he said: "Tell me honestly what happened before." Then he added: "Don't try to trick me with casual words, Master.
I go there often, but I have never seen anything like being lonely in old age or sighing. As for the fact that you want to ask the late emperor to give you a vegetable household, you have never seen it at all. Are you lying to the emperor?"
Si Xi looked at him helplessly, shook his head and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Su Peisheng and he were taught by the same master and had been together for more than ten years. In terms of understanding of each other, there was no difference between them.
, so what he said just now, he can hide it from anyone, but he can’t hide it from Su Peisheng. "
"Don't say that some of these are fine, tell me quickly, what is going on, are you trying to help Concubine Xi on purpose?" After speaking, Su Peisheng's expression became more serious, and his eyes were fixed on Si Xi.
Si Xi glanced around to make sure there was no one behind her and said: "To tell you the truth, Concubine Xi had asked Mo'er to look for me before, saying that she wanted to make Sanfu and Jade a perfect couple and make them a legitimate couple.
So he asked me to intercede for him in front of the emperor. I thought this was a good thing, so I agreed to it. Don't you think it's perfect now?"
Su Peisheng didn't think so. Instead, he shouted with a look of shock on his face: "Are you crazy? You dared to deceive the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor didn't bother you further this time and didn't send anyone to question the master. But you are just walking around."
On the edge of a cliff, if you make a mistake, you will slip and fall."
Si Xi disapproved and said: "This is just a small matter. How could the emperor mobilize troops and mobilize people like this? You are thinking too much."
"What do I think?" Su Pei said angrily: "If I hadn't thought about you and me being under the master's sect, I wouldn't bother to care about you. What you are committing now is the crime of deceiving the emperor. This crime can be big or small. If it is serious,
After all, that is the crime of beheading, you are really brave."
Sixi also knew that Su Peisheng was doing it for her own good, so she was moved and embarrassed and said: "Concubine Kexi..."
Su Peisheng said angrily: "What's wrong with her? Our master is the emperor, and the person who should be loyal is also the emperor. Besides, the emperor never likes us getting too close to the empress of the harem. If the emperor knows what happened to you today, he will be killed."
Your brain is in trouble."
Although Si Xi knew that he cared about her, she did not agree with what he said: "According to what you said, are you just going to watch Sanfu and the others die? After all, they are also two poor people. Since we have the ability, we can help them."
Just think of it as accumulating blessings for yourself."
"I'm afraid you're not accumulating blessings, but sending yourself to death!" Su Peisheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "What does the life and death of Sanfu and Jade have to do with us? Besides, they made mistakes and deserve to be punished. Do you want to pity them?
?Also, don’t think that Concubine Xi is really kind-hearted. I guess she must have her own purpose in helping Sanfu and the others. Otherwise, how could she risk offending the Queen to help Sanfu and the others?
.As for you, you are just a pawn used by her."
Si Xi shook his head and said: "Even if this is true, it will at least save two lives, which is a good thing. As for me, I will just be a chess piece."
Seeing that he still had this attitude after talking for a long time, Su Peisheng became very angry and said, "I wonder if you are stupid or crazy. You are willing to be taken advantage of. Did Concubine Xi give you any benefits, or...
..." He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Si Xi with a strange look.
Si Xi waited for a while but still didn't see him continue speaking, so she continued: "What's wrong? Just say what you have to say. Looking at him like this makes me feel uncomfortable."
Su Peisheng lowered his head and thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth, are you in love with that girl Mo'er?"
These words immediately startled Sixi, and he hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can such a thing happen?"
Su Peisheng looked suspicious and said: "I see that you have been very close to Mo'er during this period, and you have been helping Concubine Xi in everything."
Si Xi sneered and said: "I am helping Concubine Xi because she likes Mo'er? What kind of thoughts do you have? It's really ridiculous! I just think Concubine Xi is a good person, so I only say a few words to her occasionally, and I have nothing to do with Mo'er.
relation."
Seeing that he was sure, Su Peisheng couldn't help but believe it a little, and said in a calm tone: "This is the best. I can tell you, even though the emperor agreed to Sanfu and Jade this time, it does not mean that the palace people will be allowed to marry from now on.
You are a novice, this kind of thing should never happen again. Besides, you also saw the emperor's attitude when Concubine Xi mentioned you casually, he didn't ask at all and just regarded it as a joke."
There was unspeakable sadness in Sixi's heart. He had never been that lucky, but it didn't matter. He didn't have any extravagant expectations. Thinking like this, a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, you said it."
I know that, the most I can do is promise you to keep a distance from Mo Er in the future."
"Not only Mo'er, but also Concubine Xi." Su Peisheng said cautiously: "If you still think of me as a brother, just listen to me and stay far away from those in the harem. Don't look at all these weak women.
, in fact, there are many ways, if you get too close, be careful that you don’t even know how you died.”
Si Xi knew that he was doing it for her own good, but she still couldn't help but said: "Concubine Xi is not such a person."
Su Peisheng glanced at him and said: "What kind of person is this? You, don't be too naive. None of the mistresses and empresses in this palace are simple, and they are inextricably related to the previous dynasty.
, it’s not for people like us to blend in, it’s better to stay as far away as possible. If you don’t listen to me and still blend in, if something happens, don’t blame me for not reminding me.”
Si Xi joked: "If something happens to me, wouldn't you be able to take over the position of chief eunuch? I think you are more suitable than me."
Su Peisheng snorted softly and said: "If you are willing, of course I have no objection, but if you are so stupid that you seek death, don't expect me to shed a single tear for you."
When Li Dequan left, he recommended Sixi to Yinzhen to take over his position. Su Peisheng was not without objections and felt that he was even better than Sixi in terms of ability. However, he and Sixi had been brothers for more than ten years, although their positions were compromised.
Si Xi was a little unwilling to take over, but he didn't want to make the two brothers fight to the death for the same position, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to Si Xi. Su Peisheng understood that as slaves, they were already in a low status.
If you fight with each other for some interests, then there is really no hope of getting ahead.
