262: Brother Wu, please help take care of the Daming Harem
"Oh."
"I wonder if you have anything I can ask for?"
I also wanted to go back and rectify the 400,000-strong army...but something went wrong.
No matter what, after all, it was the Empress of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to see him, wasn't she?
Wu Zhongxian and Li Shaobao were walking on the road and passed by the Daming Palace. The golden dome and red door of the palace gave people a sense of solemnity with its antique style.
The palace is located among the trees, with glazed tile roofs exposed, just like a golden island.
The two dragons on the cornices, with golden scales and golden armor, are vividly alive, as if they want to fly into the sky.
Li Shaobao had an apologetic smile on his face. He was smiling and very friendly. If it weren't for his muscles...he would seem to be a relatively easy-to-get-together person.
At this moment, facing Wu Zhongxian's inquiry, he felt a little embarrassed, so he could only say in a low voice: "General Manager Wu... just come here first."
Wu Zhongxian: "..."
I need help with something, but I haven’t told you what it is.
It seems to be something that is more difficult to talk about.
In the depths of the palace, it was surprisingly quiet. Except for some minor maids, it was not like the palace of Da Zhou where there were people walking around.
Except for the quiet sunlight, which shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground and flowers and plants, there are very few people to see!
Wu Zhongxian looked at Li Shaobao with some confusion.
Li Shaobao seemed to understand and smiled apologetically at Wu Zhongxian.
When the poisonous girl saw this, she became furious!
"Are you really going to take action?!"
Li Shaobao begged for mercy on the spot: "...Auntie, stop talking! How could I harm General Manager Wu? Tell the truth! Nowadays, I value General Manager Wu's life safety more than anyone else. If someone wants to harm General Wu,
If the manager is in trouble, I, Li Shaobao, will be the first to go!"
His tone was vicious: "I'm going to squeeze the shit out of him!"
Wu Zhongxian: "..."
He looked at Li Shaobao thoughtfully.
And a group of young eunuchs behind him...
They are all young birds. They look like they have just entered the palace, and they must have just been purified.
There were a few young eunuchs who were still suffering from pain in their balls and looked a little ugly.
So...
Wu Zhongxian frowned: "After the assassination, all the eunuchs in the Daming Palace died?"
Li Shaobao felt as if his innermost thoughts had been exposed. He smiled helplessly at Wu Zhongxian and said, "That's not true."
Wu Zhongxian said on the spot: "If you don't make it clear, then I will go back. There are still things that I need to deal with..."
"Eh? Don't mention me!"
"I beg you for mercy..." Li Shaobao immediately wanted to stop Wu Zhongxian, but the poisonous woman was right there. He was at a loss on the spot and didn't know what to do.
"So you'd better just say it directly."
Old God Wu Zhongxian is here, he has already seen that this matter is definitely not that simple.
"well!"
Li Shaobao sighed, as if he had made up his mind.
But he still muttered: "You have to know sooner or later anyway."
After saying that, he continued to lead the way forward and said: "Director Wu, please come this way..."
After passing through the palaces one by one, we finally arrived at the backyard!
This is where the concubines live!
Imperial palaces in ancient times were generally very large. For example, the imperial palace of Da Qin was 540,000 square meters.
It's more than a thousand meters long! Even its width is more than 400 meters.
The burned-down Afang Palace in our history was not completed yet and covered an area of 150,000 square meters. But in this world, the imperial palace of Qin really covers an area of more than 500,000 square meters.
The Daming Palace in the Ming Dynasty was slightly smaller, covering an area of 300,000 square meters!
Do you know the Forbidden City? It is as big as more than thirty Forbidden City.
And this backyard is a term used by eunuchs. Generally, the outside world calls this place a harem!
The selected beauties, as well as the concubines with status, all live here.
However, Wu Zhongxian was a little confused.
Well, why did you bring me to the harem?
Li Shaobao finally stopped covering up and said, "Director Wu, you are actually right!"
Wu Zhongxian: "...can you stop being so pretentious?"
A terrestrial god who can take care of you at every turn... This is probably the former Ming Dynasty general manager.
Li Shaobao smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, listen to me carefully..."
And he's also a talkative person.
Wu Zhongxian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"This palace is called Huaqing Palace. The person who lives here is the empress of Emperor Ming.. That is."
Wu Zhongxian hissed!
In other words, she is the empress’ mother?!
Li Shaobao looked at Wu Zhongxian's face and knew that the manager understood it.
He really knows how to deal with people and is worthy of being a manager!
"Um!"
Li Shaobao nodded, and then said: "Since the assassination, the empress came to power, and she has vigorously investigated the interior of the palace... and unexpectedly discovered that the eunuch who is the general manager of the palace has an affair with the Qin forces!"
"The empress was furious and searched all night long. Six Gates sent eighty interrogation experts overnight...all the eunuchs were interrogated all night long."
"turn out..."
Wu Zhongxian's facial twitching...
"Is it possible that they all have an affair with Da Qin?"
Li Shaobao gave the final answer: "No." He shook his head again, as if denying his statement, and sighed: "But it's almost the same."
"That night, there were less than fifty eunuchs who survived..."
hiss!
Is this the invincible Ming Dynasty? It has been penetrated to this point by the enemy!
Wu Zhongxian was speechless... If he let the little white snake suck up the dragon energy contained in the Stork Tower now...
Doesn’t that mean the Ming Dynasty will perish now?
What are you making a fuss about!
This is the imperial palace, the most secret place in the entire Ming Dynasty. It should be airtight!
Is this the result?
This is not a matter of disclosure or not, it is simply a matter of undercover!
How outrageous!
On the other hand, Poison Girl is even more thoughtful...
This Da Qin actually did what Da Zhou Xichang wanted to do...
But since Da Qin can do it once, can she also let Xichang do it once?
Li Shaobao didn't know what they were thinking, but now he did have something important to ask for.
"Hey, Manager Wu, that's why I invited you here..."
"The palace is short of manpower, and a new group of eunuchs have been recruited. They are all newcomers, so they have been cleansed..."
"Although I taught you many rules overnight, I still feel uneasy."
"pity."
Li Shaobao shook his head and said: "I have recovered my body. I can no longer enter the Huaqing Palace and serve it myself."
"So, I want to find a teacher to teach these little eunuchs how to serve the nobles in the palace..."
When Li Shaobao said this, he said with a serious face.
"Brother Wu! I know that although you have been purified and become a eunuch, you must not want to serve the harem of another country!"
"Here... I am confessing to you, but this time, I really need you to enter my Ming Dynasty's harem."
Li Shaobao gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you help me this time, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me Li Shaobao and I will never refuse!"
Wu Zhongxian was stunned.
Ah? Do you want me to go to the harem of the Ming Dynasty and serve these noble people?
I???
Wu Zhongxian raised his head and looked at the Huaqing Palace...
The gorgeous pavilions of Huaqing Palace are surrounded by the water of Huaqing Pool, with duckweed all over the ground, green and bright.
But in Wu Zhongxian's eyes, here... it's all red and pink.
