Murong Feiyan said: "When I heard about the changes in Xiezhou, I immediately went to Xiezhou to look for you, but I didn't get any news from you when I got there, so I guessed that you would come to the capital."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why do you think of me coming back to the capital?"
Murong Feiyan said: "Because you are a fool. If you knew something happened to your family, you would definitely come here regardless of the cost."
"I thought that in your heart I was always a greedy guy who was afraid of death."
Murong Feiyan bit her lips: "You're not..." Before she could finish her words, she coughed violently. She covered her lips with her hands, and her pale face turned a little red because of the violent coughing.
Only then did she stop coughing. Then she saw that her palms were stained with bright red blood, and she actually coughed up blood.
Hu Xiaotian said worriedly: "You are coughing up blood, let me take a look at it for you."
Murong Feiyan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. It's just that the meridians are damaged. It's not the result of medicine. It will take a while to recover."
"I'm going to find Eunuch Quan."
Murong Feiyan reached out and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's sleeve: "Don't go!"
Hu Xiaotian looked at the haggard Murong Feiyan, feeling secretly sad in his heart. Murong Feiyan had gone through so much trouble to rescue him, and was imprisoned because of him, but now he couldn't tell the truth. What kind of feeling was that?
Pain and suffering.
Murong Feiyan said: "I like the short knife you gave me very much..."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, his eye circles were already red, and he whispered: "Don't worry, Eunuch Quan has promised not to pursue you and Zhan Peng for assassinating him, and he will let you go today." He stood up and prepared to leave.
Murong Feiyan called after him: "Xiaotian, did you agree to any conditions for us?"
Hu Xiaotian's body stopped in front of the door. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said: "I'm going to see Brother Zhan first, and I'll have someone bring a change of clothes later. You leave Cheng'en Mansion as soon as possible, what's left
I will handle the matter."
Murong Feiyan looked at Hu Xiaotian's retreating figure, always feeling that he had hidden too many things from her. For a moment, he felt sad and tears flowed down his face.
Zhan Peng's right calf was broken by Quan De'an with a rosary, and Quan De'an did not treat them lightly. He also specially asked a doctor to treat his bone injury. Now Zhan Peng's recovery from the injury is good, compared to Murong
As for Feiyan, although his injuries were more serious, his recovery speed was much faster than that of Murong Feiyan.
Zhan Peng was also very relieved to see Hu Xiaotian coming here safe and sound. He and Murong Feiyan had not made a prior appointment to appear at the same time. When he and Hu Xiaotian broke up that day, he felt that Hu Xiaotian's whereabouts were secretive and secretive, so he followed him quietly.
, although Hu Xiaotian was very cautious and took anti-tracking measures, after all, his martial arts could not be compared with Zhan Peng.
Zhan Peng followed Hu Xiaotian to Chengen Mansion, because he knew that this place was related to the royal family, so he did not choose to enter rashly, but hid outside and waited for Hu Xiaotian to come out. Until Hu Xiaotian was carried to the cleansing room by four eunuchs, shouting for help
At that time, Zhan Peng showed up to rescue him. However, he did not expect that a decrepit old eunuch's martial arts skills were so unfathomable. He tried his best and was still injured by Quan De'an. Just when his life was hanging by a thread.
, Murong Feiyan flew to rescue him, but together they were still no match for Quan De'an, and were eventually captured. In total, they were imprisoned here for nearly twenty days. Quan De'an did not make things difficult for him, except to find someone to help him.
To treat bone injuries, people would send him meals regularly every day.
Being imprisoned here and cut off from the outside world, Zhan Peng naturally had no way of knowing Hu Xiaotian's current situation. Now that he saw that Hu Xiaotian was safe, Zhan Peng was relieved. He heard that Quan De'an was going to let him and Murong Feiyan go.
, no longer pursuing the assassination matter, Zhan Peng first felt relieved, and then realized that the matter was by no means that simple. Then he saw Hu Xiaotian wearing the eunuch clothes in the palace, and recalled that night, four eunuchs carried Hu Xiaotian there
Seeing the scene in the cleansing room, an ominous thought occurred in my heart, and I whispered: "Why is my benefactor wearing such clothes?" Zhan Peng was not a simple-minded martial artist with well-developed limbs, so he tried to ask as tactfully as possible.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Didn't I tell you not to call me my benefactor when you call me by my name in the future? You risked your life to come to save me. Come to think of it, now I owe you a favor."
Zhan Peng said: "Don't say that, I won't call you benefactor."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "You should know my current identity when I wear this outfit."
Zhan Peng's eyes widened: "You mean..." When the words reached his lips, he still did not say the words "you have been cleansed".
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zhan Peng and nodded. There is no need to explain some words. It’s best to let others guess. If the truth is revealed in the future, he will not be deceiving Zhan Peng. Anyway, I didn’t say that I was clean. Everything is yours.
You can guess it yourself.
Zhan Peng said sadly: "How could it be so? How could it be so? Did they force you to do this? To force you to purify yourself and enter the palace at the cost of our lives?"
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you, it's all because of the emperor. He promised to spare the lives of all our Hu family members, but he had a condition. He wanted me to enter the palace as a slave to atone for my father's sins."
As a man, Zhan Peng knew better what kind of sacrifice it meant to purify oneself and enter the palace. Although Hu Xiaotian kept saying that what happened had nothing to do with them, Zhan Peng still felt remorse and regret in his heart. He believed that he failed to rescue Hu Xiaotian that night.
, but was captured by mistake. This incident also became one of the reasons for Hu Xiaotian's trouble.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Zhan, there is no need to feel sorry for me. In fact, this is the best solution. It is better for me to enter the palace alone to atone for my sins than for our Hu family to be executed for the rest of our lives. I have never entered the palace before."
Going to the palace, being able to serve the emperor, and having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life is a blessing in disguise."
Zhan Peng pursed his lips and looked at Hu Xiaotian with sympathy. He understood that Hu Xiaotian would never be a normal man from then on. His sacrifices were huge and there would never be any happiness in his life. He suddenly thought
Murong Feiyan, who also risked his life to save her that night, it is not difficult to judge from the scene at that time that Murong Feiyan has a deep love for Hu Xiaotian. When Hu Xiaotian enters the palace, wouldn't it be impossible for him and Murong Feiyan to work together in this life?
Peng felt deeply sorry for Hu Xiaotian in his heart. But what had happened was beyond human power. Zhan Peng sorted out his emotions and whispered: "Brother Hu, is there anything you need me to do?" From benefactor to
Xiaotian now calls him Brother Hu. Zhan Peng's inner journey has been twists and turns. He believes that the word brother can express his feelings. No matter what Hu Xiaotian has become now, he will not change because of it.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's true, brother Zhan, although your majesty has promised to spare my father's life, he has also removed my father from his official position and allowed him to continue to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs. In fact, the real purpose is nothing more than to
Use my father to do the handover work of the household department. Once one day, my father loses his value, Your Majesty will naturally treat him like worn out shoes."
Zhan Peng nodded. Although he didn't understand the affairs of the court, he had long heard of the cold blood of the court.
Hu Xiaotian said: "My father made many enemies in the past. Now when he is in trouble, many enemies will naturally take the opportunity to attack. Although the Hu family has many warriors and servants, but now that the Hu family has lost power, only those who loyally stay with my father and mother to protect them are afraid.
There are only a few left, and I will enter the palace in a few days. After entering the palace, I will naturally not be able to come in and out freely for a short period of time. Brother Zhan, I want you to help me take care of the Hu family and protect the safety of my parents after you recover from your injuries."
"Don't worry, as long as I, Zhan Peng, am here, I will never let Uncle Hu and the others be bullied."
Hu Xiaotian said again: "When you see my parents, tell them something for me, so that you can keep the green mountains alive without fear of running out of firewood."
The autumn rain dispersed in the gray air with the wind, shrouding the whole Kangdu in a haze. Quan De'an and Hu Xiaotian stood side by side at the highest point of Chengen Mansion, looking at the car slowly coming from the back door of Chengen Mansion.
The departing Ubon carriage.
Quan De'an glanced at Hu Xiaotian meaningfully: "Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. If you want to survive, you must forget the things in the past."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What if I can't forget it?"
"If you can't forget, you can only live in pain." Quan De'an put his hands like bird's claws on the wall: "I have done everything I promised you, and now it is your turn."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Until now, I don't know what you want me to do for you?"
Quan De'an said: "First, prove to me that you can survive in the palace." He turned around and came to the other side, looking at the imperial city shrouded in mist and rain due south.
Hu Xiaotian followed him and walked over: "With you as the Supervisor of Ceremonies taking care of you, the eunuchs and maids in this palace should not dare to bully me if they have a wink, right?"
"The Miscellaneous Family will not take care of you. Don't forget that you entered the palace as a criminal, and your status is the most humble in the palace. Although I am the Superintendent of Ceremonies, do you know the secrets of the Imperial City?"
There are twelve prisons in total, and the Secretary of Ceremonies is just one of them. These twelve prisons are the Secretary of Ceremonies, the Internal Officials, the Imperial Palace, the Si Shejian, the Imperial Horse Prison, the Priestly Prison, the Shangshan Prison, and the Shangbao Prison.
, Yin Shou Supervisor, Zhidian Supervisor, Shangyi Supervisor, and Duzhi Supervisor. In addition, there are four divisions and eight bureaus. The four divisions are the Xixin Division, the Baochao Division, the Bell and Drum Division, and the Huntang Division. The eight divisions are the Military Warfare Division.
Bureau, scarf and hat bureau, needlework bureau, inner weaving and dyeing bureau, wine and vinegar noodle bureau, Siyuan bureau, coat bureau, and silver work bureau.”
Hu Xiaotian already had a headache just listening to this complicated title: "I say, Eunuch Quan, please tell me more clearly, should you assign me a director or a director or something?"
Quan De'an said: "The internal affairs of the palace have been handed over to the miscellaneous family since His Majesty ascended the throne. I am a cripple with weak limbs. How can I serve the Emperor well?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.
