Ma Shunde snorted coldly and did not answer. He only said coldly: "I don't care who or what you are investigating. To investigate the Prince's Palace, it is best not only to have the emperor's will, but also to have more people present, and to investigate."
Everything is well arranged from front to back!”
If it weren't for the fear of implicating himself, he wouldn't have said this. After saying that, he walked towards the bullock cart he came in.
The two young eunuchs following him hurriedly trotted to catch up. One helped Ma Shunde get into the car, and the other jumped in front and prepared to drive away.
Huo Wuyong stood there, watching Ma Shunde get on the bullock cart, and then the bullock cart drove away.
"Master..." There were some soldiers following him, and one of the hundreds of households came over and asked cautiously: "Where are we going next?"
He wanted to directly say "Go to Prince Dai's Mansion", but the words turned around in circles and Huo Wuyong swallowed them back.
"Ma Shunde is afraid of getting involved, so he won't get involved for no reason. Even if he comes again, he will have to ask for orders. I really have to be prepared."
Thinking of this, Huo Wuyong was thoughtful. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth and swallowed with difficulty.
"Yes, it's fine that nothing was found. It's just a few scoldings from the emperor."
"If it is really found out, it will be nothing more than a guest or a servant. If it is the family of Prince Dai or even the princess...or the young prince, then the relationship between Prince Dai and I will never end."
"Even if the king has fallen, where are his followers? How can they let me go?"
"I can't bear this responsibility alone!"
Thinking of this, Huo Wuyong immediately ordered the hundreds of households beside him: "Send someone to run an errand and invite a few people for me."
"That's what the real person ordered!" Baihu came here to listen to Huo Wuyong's instructions, so he immediately replied.
Huo Wuyong thought carefully and said, "Master Liu Zhan, please come to me as soon as possible..."
Then a few more names were mentioned, all of which were people with some reputation or power, or Taoists, or people from testing institutions.
The Taoist gates in the capital are more prosperous than those outside the capital. To be able to stay under the emperor's feet, even if he is just the master of one view, he usually has some ability.
The people Huo Wuyong ordered to invite, even if they were Taoists, were all guests at the banquet of nobles and nobles. Regardless of whether they had real abilities or not, at least they were of some use in sharing hatred.
Especially the people from the testing agency reported the news and put themselves in a dilemma. How can they stay out of the incident? This is impossible.
Baihu didn't understand Huo Wuyong's intention in asking him to invite people, but such a small matter was not difficult for him, so he accepted the order and immediately ordered a few soldiers: "Go quickly and give all the people."
I invite you, come quickly, if you delay your errand, I will skin you."
"yes!"
Seeing these people running away quickly, Huo Wuyong raised his head and looked at the large dark clouds that had gathered above his head, and let out a breath of turbid air.
royal palace
With the three main halls as the center, there are more than 70 large and small palaces and more than 9,000 houses connected together. Although the most noble couple in the world lives here, except for this couple and some concubines, the others are eunuchs.
, palace maid, nanny, it’s really not certain whether you can live a good life.
In addition to the palaces close to the palaces of the emperor and empress, there are also some small houses and courtyards in further areas. The places are narrow and inaccessible. Passing by them during the day will make people feel uneasy.
The cold palace is usually in this kind of place, or some powerful eunuchs and nuns will move here to survive their last days.
The courtyard of Eunuch Zhao, the eunuch who was once the most favored leader of the emperor, is also located in this area.
During the day, except for the occasional chirping of birds, you can rarely hear the sound of people walking.
It was already dark at the moment, and in this pitch-black area, there were only one or two small lanterns swaying in the wind under the eaves of some courtyards. People couldn't help but wonder whether there were people living here or something else.
Shameful ghosts.
The small narrow door was tightly closed. Looking from the outside, most of the paint on the door had peeled off, and the moss growing on the bottom of the wall really made people feel that the people living inside were so desolate and miserable.
But in fact, when you enter this door, you will find that the courtyard inside and the outside are like two different worlds, which is not actually a desolate place.
There are several dwarf fruit trees planted in the yard, and a row of flowers and plants planted near the window. The branches are lush and leafy, and they look full of life.
The half-opened window was covered with old gauze, and there was bright candlelight inside.
The eunuch sitting inside had his back against a soft cushion and was leaning on it. He was holding a book in his hand and was reading it slowly.
There was a low table in front of him. On the low table were not only refreshments, but also two plates of seasonal fruits, which looked fresh and delicious.
A half-old incense burner not far away burned excellent incense that could make people relax.
The whole room looks simple, but in fact there is nothing left to enjoy. Looking at Eunuch Zhao's expression at the moment, he is actually much more carefree than before!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door at the outermost door.
The gentle knock on the door was not loud, but everyone in the room heard it.
The two little eunuchs serving Eunuch Zhao looked at each other, and one of them hurried to open the door. After a while, he led an angry little eunuch in.
The elderly eunuch raised his eyelids and took a look. When he saw the young eunuch coming in, he knelt down and saluted, holding something in his hand, as if he was coming to show his filial piety.
This is normal. Even if Eunuch Zhao loses his power, he has been the chief eunuch in the palace for so many years. Even if he loses his power, it is extremely easy to protect a few young eunuchs.
So since he came here, some young eunuchs have come to please him one after another. In the past, it was difficult to have this opportunity, but now it is their turn to light up the cold stove.
"Huh?" But at the next glance, Eunuch Zhao noticed something was wrong. When he saw it clearly, his eyes suddenly shrank and almost changed color.
But in the end, years of cultivation made him remain calm, and he raised his eyelids and took another look: "Are you from Liu Cairen? What does she want to say to our family?"
The two eunuchs around listened and saw that the young eunuch seemed to have something to say. Judging from his hesitant appearance, it seemed that what he wanted to say could not be heard by others. They all immediately understood that there are things in the deep palace that are unspeakable.
Taboo.
When a man is over forty, his bed is naturally not as good as when he was young, but how can the emperor let this be announced to the world? Therefore, the draft every three or five years is still carried out.
Therefore, although some beautiful women were admitted as low-level concubines, they actually remained virgins all their lives. Liu Cairen was a female official and a palace servant. She was said to be a low-level concubine and had no position as a concubine. She was locked up in the palace at a young age, and
If there is no child interest, what will happen in the future?
Therefore, even if I know that the hope is slim, I still hope that I can win the emperor for one night and have a son and a half daughters to rely on.
Sure enough, the young eunuch murmured: "Eunuch Zhao, I have something to tell you. Look..."
