The night wind blew gently, making the bamboo leaves in the yard rustle.
The bamboo curtain is rolled up to connect the inside and outside.
There were low tables and soft cushions on the corridor. Cheng Xi was kneeling on the ground, holding a wine flask and filling the wine cup.
Jin Guiren sat, leaning against a few children, occasionally taking a sip of wine.
Cheng Xi didn't dare to make any noise and waited carefully. It wasn't until footsteps came from outside that he put down the wine bottle and exited quietly.
Opening the door, he glanced at the waiter waiting outside.
The servant was called the protector and was Cheng Xi's confidant. He was not very old, but he was usually very clever.
Baoshan said in a low voice: "Eunuch, Eunuch Sun is here."
"That person named Sun in Yongji Palace?" Cheng Xi asked. When Baoshan nodded, he added, "Why did he come by himself? What did he say?"
"I didn't tell you," Bao Shan reported. "Eunuch Sun said it was an important matter. He was afraid that the messenger would spread bad news, so he came here himself."
Cheng Xi frowned and muttered: "So cautious? Where is the other person? I'll go see him."
After saying that, Cheng Xi went in first to report to Mr. Jin, and then went to see Eunuch Sun.
In the small hall, Mr. Sun was sitting in danger.
As soon as Cheng Xi entered, he saw the nervousness and uneasiness on the other party's face, and couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Eunuch Sun did not dare to continue sitting. After Cheng Xi sat down, he stood and replied: "This afternoon, Duke Fu came to Yongji Palace."
"Yes," Cheng Xi nodded.
Duke Fu went from the imperial study to Yongji Palace, and then returned to the imperial palace. This was not some secret news, and Duke Fu showed it off in a big way, with no intention of hiding it.
Cheng Xi received the news in the afternoon, but she just didn't know the inside story.
Of course, he didn't need to go out of his way to inquire.
Wait for a while and the message will naturally come through.
However, Eunuch Sun's own visit was beyond Cheng Xi's expectation.
"What did they say?" he asked.
"I'm not sure what was said specifically," Eunuch Sun shook his head. "Everyone retreated and no one was allowed to stay. I originally wanted them to squat under the window and listen, but..."
Cheng Xi's expression was not very good: "But Duke Fu Guo has sharp ears, don't you dare to make people squat?"
"Yes." Eunuch Sun said sarcastically.
Cheng Xi couldn't help but curl his lips: "So you came here by yourself to admit your mistake?"
"That's not true," Eunuch Sun hurriedly explained. "After dinner, the man from Yongji Palace called a chamberlain in and said a long list of words, all of which were directed at the master.
The waiter came out and looked for me. When I heard that, it was really, really...
I don't dare to let others spread the word again. I'm afraid something will go wrong, so I'll do it myself."
Cheng Xi spat at him: "If you do it yourself, aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"
Eunuch Sun said with a bitter face: "It must be Duke Fuguo who had a lot of talk with the person from Yongji Palace. I can't help it either..."
"Okay," Cheng Xi interrupted him, "Just wait here while I go back to the master."
Cheng Xi stood up to leave, but Eunuch Sun quickly stopped him: "Where is the master?"
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Xi asked back, "Where you can come to the door casually, the master can be here? Just wait!"
After leaving the small hall, Cheng Xi carried the lantern and walked through the winding corridor without letting Bao Shan follow.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, he arrived in front of his master's yard.
Standing under the corridor, Cheng Xi took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down.
There is such a development in Yongji Palace...
well!
Opening the door, Cheng Xi called out "Master."
Under the verandah, the wine cups and jugs were still the same. It seemed that Jin Guiren had never touched the wine during the period of his absence.
Cheng Xi stepped forward and knelt down, lowered his head and finished talking about Yongji Palace.
The more I talked, the more unsure I became.
In his ears, apart from the sound of the night wind blowing leaves, there was only his own voice.
But no matter how straightforward he was, without all the tone and ups and downs, Li Jun's words were still as cold as the storm, so cold that it scared him.
He was so scared that he didn't dare to look up.
He was so scared that he couldn't help but raise his head and quickly peeked at his master's expression.
After finally finishing speaking, Cheng Xi shrank his neck: "Master, Master, look at this..."
Jin Guiren turned to look at him, picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
"Why are you panicking?" he asked Cheng Xi, "It is Li Jun who speaks arrogantly, and he is also Li Jun who is self-righteous."
Cheng Xi raised his head when he heard the sound, guessed his master's thoughts, and forced a smile: "Tell me, what did they say when Duke Fu went to Yongji Palace?"
"What else can you say?" Jin Guiren said calmly.
He was not surprised that Xu Jian went to Yongji Palace.
In other words, this is what he expected.
This is a recipe for disaster.
Feng Chang "confessed" to Eunuch Tong.
Although Cheng Xi searched and searched, he still didn't know where that bastard Feng Chang learned about a person like Eunuch Tong. He also knew that no matter how many times he interrogated Feng Chang, he would not be able to tell anything about Eunuch Tong's Zichou Yinmao.
But Eunuch Cao has been working in the palace for many years, who knows if something will be uncovered unexpectedly.
Therefore, he had to find something to do for Eunuch Cao.
Turn Eunuch Cao's eyes away from Eunuch Tong, so that Eunuch Cao has no time to stare at Eunuch Tong.
The bait that was thrown out was Yongji Palace.
People have been urging Wang Gouzi several times in order to expose the entire information chain to Eunuch Cao.
After all, no matter how hard you dig for that clue, it can only lead to Yongji Palace.
Let the Lord fight with Li Jun!
As for Li Jun, having lived for so many more years is enough.
After being killed, he could use this to make a fuss and target the Holy One again.
I just didn't expect that lunatic Li Jun would use his body as bait and even want to bite him when he was about to die.
"Give me a chance to bring down the Holy One?"
"Equal exchange?"
"If I can't do it, will he take revenge?"
Jin Guiren laughed heartily. There was no smile in his eyes, and all that flashed in his eyes was anger: "He actually has a good idea, and he dares to negotiate terms with me!"
Cheng Xi remained silent.
After a long while, Jin Guiren explained to him in a cold voice.
After hearing this, Cheng Xi didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly left, going to see Eunuch Sun again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Eunuch Sun also turned pale after receiving the reply: "Master, did you really say that?"
"Yes." Cheng Xi said.
Eunuch Sun was anxious: "Who doesn't know that the crazy man in Yongji Palace can do anything if he doesn't recognize his relatives? Such a one-shot reply is not..."
"A breakup?" Cheng Xi interrupted Eunuch Sun, "When did Master and the one from Yongji Palace ever cooperate?"
Eunuch Sun said: "Then what should I do? I work for the master, so I can do my best."
"That guy from Yongji Palace is crazy, are you crazy too, Eunuch Sun?" Cheng Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't do stupid things."
The words are not speculative.
Eunuch Sun came out of the house with a pale face and went back to Yongji Palace.
It was nearly three o'clock, and the capital city had fallen silent late at night.
When entering Yongji Palace from the corner gate, Eunuch Sun glanced to the south. The high walls and pavilions of the palace were gathered in the night, illuminated only by palace lanterns, and the shadows outlined the appearance.
This deep palace garden is really beautiful at times and abject at times.
Cheng Xi is such a bitch, but he doesn't know where he caught his master's attention, and he has been following his master these past few years.
On the contrary, it is difficult for an old man like him to see his master now.
The villain succeeds!
But no matter how much he hated Cheng Xi, Eunuch Sun did not dare to go against his master's wishes.
After entering the house, he wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then told the young eunuch who was serving him: "Go, call Zhuoping."
Zhuoping was the chamberlain who was called by Li Jun to recite a passage at night.
After listening to Sun's father-in-law, Zhuoping was so frightened that he said: "Eunuch, how dare I say that? Aren't you embarrassing me?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Eunuch Sun asked, "Does he have three heads or six arms?"
Zhuoping still shook his head.
Eunuch Sun's face darkened: "When you get benefits, you rush ahead, but when it's time to do something, you push back and forth? Zhuoping, there may be such good things outside, but there is none in Yongji Palace!"
"You just took so much money, and you asked me to talk to that person like that," Zhuo Ping said anxiously, "that person even said 'equivalent exchange'!"
Eunuch Sun slapped Zhuo Ping on the back: "Isn't this a good thing for you to learn? Go ahead and talk about it, and come back to receive the reward after you finish talking."
After saying that, Eunuch Sun took out an ingot of five taels of silver and slapped it on the table.
Zhuoping's eyes lit up: "Seriously? Oh, Eunuch Sun, you always say that the little ones should obey, but the little ones don't know whose words they are listening to."
"You will know what you are supposed to know," Eunuch Sun said, "The money is here, why do you care who gave it to me?"
Zhuoping rubbed his hands: "I'm afraid that I will lose my life and lose my life."
"shit!"
Having said that, Eunuch Sun himself felt guilty.
That guy has a bad temper and may get angry in any way, but you can't say this to Zhuo Ping.
Eunuch Sun coaxed: "How could Minghua die? The two armies are fighting and they haven't killed the envoy yet! You are a little eunuch who is delivering a message. What did he do to you?"
These words obviously comforted Zhuo Ping, who had little experience. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the silver.
Eunuch Sun saw this and stuffed the money directly into his arms, urging: "Sooner or later it will be yours, hurry up!"
Zhuoping's heart was steadied by the silver, and he quickly went to see Li Jun.
When I arrived outside the temple and saw the oil lamp that was still on, I felt a little bit more frightened again.
Touching the money in his arms, he plucked up the courage to go in.
"Huh?" Li Jun was half lying on the couch, squinting at him, "It was faster than I thought. What did he say?"
"He, he said," Zhuoping swallowed, "He said, you can do whatever you want."
Li Jun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Li Du really said that?"
Zhuoping added: "He said, just drag Prince Jin into the water, and he will reap the benefits."
Li Jun burst out laughing.
After he finished laughing, he sat up and walked over barefoot without wearing shoes. He lowered his eyes and looked at Zhuo Ping who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you think I believe him?"
Zhuoping was stared at by that line of sight, and cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
These few sentences are all in what Eunuch Sun taught him.
In other words, the master also knows how this person will react after hearing these words.
Naturally, I also taught him how to respond in the future.
But, Zhuoping really didn't dare to say it.
The courage gained by five taels of silver is still a little short of that.
It’s just that it’s hard to get off the tiger.
Consoling himself, "Bu Zha Lai Shi", Zhuoping moved his mouth, trying to hold on, but every word was trembling: "That person said it, that person said it! Do you believe it or not, does it matter? He is outside, you
Inside, that's the difference."
These few sentences are simply lighting a fire and pouring oil on the straw pile.
After Zhuoping finished speaking, he quickly emphasized again: "It's all what that person said... Oops!"
He leaned back and was kicked to the ground by Li Jun.
Under the oil lamp, Li Jun's face was half bright and half dark, and his facial features were so sinister that he revealed a bit of coquettishness. Reflecting on Deng Miao's eyes, they were like poisonous snakes spitting messages.
Zhuoping saw this and was so frightened that he used his hands and feet and took two steps back.
However, Li Jun turned around, picked up Qin from the table, suddenly exerted force, and hit Zhuoping on the head.
Zhuoping didn't react. He was hit by the messy music and his eyes were filled with red stars.
Later, he realized that he was bleeding.
Through a red mist, he looked at Li Jun, who was blurred into three or four double images.
Li Jun grinned and said, "He can tell me that, can you?"
Zhuoping rolled his eyes and fell completely.
There was a lot of commotion here, and Mr. Sun, who had been paying attention to the situation here, hesitated whether to show up or not, when he heard Li Jun's voice calling for someone in the palace.
Eunuch Sun had no choice but to bite the bullet and came in with two young servants: "What's wrong with you here? The young one seems to have heard something..."
Halfway through his words, Eunuch Sun took a deep breath when he saw Zhuo Ping motionless on the ground.
"This, this?!" Eunuch Sun's face seemed to have turned white to pulp, "Is this still alive?"
The little waiter leaned down and ventured forward, exclaiming: "I'm out of breath!"
Boom!
Qin fell hard and hit several people, making the little waiter scream and jump up in fright.
"What's it called?" Li Jun took out a handkerchief and wiped his bloody hands. He said slowly and half-smilingly, "I just smashed an unruly eunuch to death. How can Li Yi come after me for killing the eunuch?"
It’s a joke even though it’s outside and inside!
Even if I am here in Yongji Palace, my surname is still Li.
That's the difference.
Right, Eunuch Sun?"
Eunuch Sun was shaking violently.
The two little chamberlains didn't understand, but he knew "outside and inside".
When Li Jun said this, he was not asking him, but threatening him and warning his master.
He obviously knew it, but now, he could only pretend to be stupid.
"Your Highness," Eunuch Sun said tremblingly, "How to deal with this?"
"Carry it out," Li Jun pointed at Zhuoping, then pointed at the scattered blood, "wipe it clean. Do you want me to teach you such a simple thing? Have you never dealt with a dead person before?"
Eunuch Sun lowered his head and acted like a mute.
After carrying Zhuoping outside, he sent one person to find the straw mat and the other to go back and wipe the blood.
After both of them left, Eunuch Sun knelt down and touched Zhuo Ping's arms for a while, and quickly took back the ingot of silver.
"If you don't want to take this money with you, you might as well return it to me, and I'll burn some paper money for you," Eunuch Sun muttered, "There is an owner for every wrong, and whoever smashed it against you is the one you go to."
In the clean room, Li Jun changed out of his blood-stained robe and looked at his face in the mirror.
So delicious.
Since he wants his life to be a feast for his life, he doesn't mind having an extra dish.
