Chi Su waited outside Yangze Palace for a long time, but did not see Eunuch Zhang.
She had no choice but to grab a young eunuch and plead: "Eunuch, could you please go in and tell Eunuch Zhang Ze that I have something urgent to come to him for? Thank you, thank you so much!"
The little eunuch looked Chi Su up and down and said, "Where did you come from? Eunuch Zhang is not here now."
Chi Su was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "When did Eunuch Zhang be transferred? Why didn't I hear about it? Where is he now?"
"Eunuch Zhang was punished and is now recuperating in the lower veranda. If you still want to find him, go through the side door in front, go all the way north, and then turn west when you reach the end.
When you see a Fulu Taihu Stone, turn north and there is a small passage. You can go in from there and ask around and you will find it."
Chi Su didn't have time to ask Eunuch Zhang why he was punished. He just thanked the little eunuch repeatedly and hurriedly looked for him.
After many twists and turns, I finally arrived at the lower verandah. After asking several people, I finally found out where Eunuch Zhang lived.
Eunuch Zhang was indeed beaten and lay on the kang to recover from his injuries.
I was very surprised to see Chi Su coming, and I felt a little embarrassed on my face.
Chi Su came to see him with a box of snacks. Seeing that there was no one to take care of him and he couldn't even drink water, he set up a tea stove and boiled water for him.
Eunuch Zhang asked her: "Miss Chi, how did you find yourself here?"
"I originally went to Yangze Palace to look for you. I heard someone said you were here now, so I came here." Chi Su told the truth, "Have you seen the doctor? It doesn't matter, right?"
Eunuch Zhang smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "I'm not the only one who got beaten. I'm still relatively light."
The Holy One spent a lot of time and ordered people to refine the elixir of longevity. He could only refine it twice a year. Starting from the winter solstice and the summer solstice, the furnace was opened for seven or forty-nine days. After refining it twice, the elixir was always failed.<
/p>
The Holy Spirit was furious because of this, and everyone who served around him was particularly to blame. Several were beaten until they could not move, and some were even kicked out.
Chi Su had also heard about the emperor's refining of the elixir of longevity.
Because there are many taboos in this palace, the reason is that the Taoist priest in charge of alchemy said that the elixir of longevity must be matched by the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
If someone violates the taboo, the elixir will not work.
Chi Su made tea for Eunuch Zhang and set it aside. Eunuch Zhang asked her: "You must have come to see me for something. Although I am probably not able to help you in this state. But since you are here, you might as well come with me."
Let me tell you."
In fact, Chi Su's heart has already become cold.
She thought that Xue Hengzhao must not have expected that Eunuch Zhang would suffer such an unreasonable disaster.
But even so, if you tell him the matter, maybe he can help you think of a solution.
So Chi Su took out the paper roll from her sleeve and said, "That's it, Eunuch Zhang.
You also know that we are now working in the embroidery workshop. A few days ago, He Guiren from Qingyangfang called Hengzhao and asked her maid to teach her how to make purses.
Hengzhao came back to me the day before yesterday and told me that if I don't see her in two days, I will come to you immediately and give you this."
"What else did she say?" Eunuch Zhang asked as he took the paper.
"She said this is to give you credit." Chi Su said truthfully, "I don't know what is written in it, but Heng Zhao said you will understand after reading it."
Eunuch Zhang was a little confused after hearing this, and slowly twisted the paper under the lamp.
The handwriting above was written by Xue Hengzhao with a Zao Zaoxin pen, and the color is very light.
Eunuch Zhang squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly put the note on the lamp and burned it.
Then I pushed myself to get off the ground, very urgently.
Chi Su supported him and said, "Father, please slow down, what's going on? You are injured, so be careful when you move."
But Eunuch Zhang couldn't wait and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm just a little lame, but it's not that I can't walk."
Then he asked Chi Su to help him put on his coat and shoes, and then went outside to find his apprentice.
"I have something important to report to the emperor," Eunuch Zhang endured the pain and said to his apprentice, "hurry up and help me over."
Of course his disciple was worried and advised: "Master, you have just been beaten. Come over now. What if the Holy One is unhappy again?
Mr. Shang doesn’t even dare to breathe these days, so we have to be more careful.”
"You don't know what's going on here, but I'm sure, please help me over quickly." Eunuch Zhang said.
He turned around and told Chi Su: "Miss Chi, please go back. It won't make sense if you come out for too long.
Don’t tell others about this, so as not to cause gossip and gossip.”
Chi Su nodded and did not dare to ask any more questions. Besides, she knew in her heart that when Xue Hengzhao came back, he would tell her everything in detail.
So Chi Su went directly back to the needlework bureau from here.
Eunuch Zhang, on the other hand, was supported by his apprentice and headed to Yangze Palace.
In the backyard of Qingyunfang, Xue Hengzhao was locked in a small room.
A broken oil lamp was lit on the table. The oil in the lamp was not good, and it emitted black smoke while burning, which made people cry and cough.
Qiuli came in from the outside and said to the two young eunuchs who were looking at Xue Hengzhao: "You guys go outside to get some air. This room is very stuffy. Besides, she is so weak that she can't escape."
Qiuli is the third-class maid here, so the little eunuch and the maid will naturally respect her when they see her.
Besides, these two little eunuchs did want to go outside to get some fresh air, but they didn't dare to go far, so they just strolled back and forth in front of the room.
Qiuli walked up to Xue Hengzhao, took out two steamed buns from her arms and gave them to her: "You haven't eaten yet today, right? I secretly gave these to you, eat them quickly."
"Thank you, sister." Xue Hengzhao reached out and took the steamed bun over.
Qiuli looked at her and sighed: "Master hasn't calmed down yet, and I don't dare to speak for you.
Let’s see if things get better in a few days. I’ve also told Sister Litchi that she is kind-hearted and maybe she can help you beg for mercy.”
"I hope so," Xue Hengzhao smiled with a faint expression, "I can only resign myself to fate now."
Qiuli knew that this matter could not be resolved with a few words, and she could not find the right words to say to Xue Hengzhao.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, the door opened, and in came green dates and citron.
Qiuli couldn't help but panic when she saw the two of them coming.
Sure enough, Luzao sneered and said, "Qiuli, you came here to do good deeds? Who allowed you to give him food?"
"I think you are tired of staying in this palace," Citron said in a very rude tone, "If you ask us to see you again, don't blame us for being rude."
Qiuli didn't dare to mess with them, so she stood up and went out.
Lv Zao then put his arms around his shoulders and said to Xue Hengzhao: "Thankfully you can still eat it. Death is imminent."
"Eating one bite less than one bite is also called carpe diem." Citron and Lvzao sang in harmony and made fun of Xue Heng's photo, "When the time comes, my face will be disfigured, my hand will be broken, and I will be thrown into a frying pan when I get to the Lord of Hell!"
