After Li Yuncong witnessed Wang Decai's murder, he obviously had no intention of staying any longer. He said a few perfunctory words and hurriedly left with his men.
Ji Feihua walked slowly into the garden, and Li Yan led several others to drag Wang Decai's body out.
Hu Xiaotian motioned to Xiao Dengzi and the others to continue what they were doing, just pretending that nothing had happened, and followed Ji Feihua alone.
Ji Feihua stopped in front of the poinsettia in full bloom and looked at the flowers: "Poinsettia, how can a talented person be worthy of it?"
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "This subordinate will be replaced immediately." This matter was indeed something he had not considered properly. Just now Wang Decai used this matter to attack him, and now Ji Feihua said this again, which proved that he did it unintentionally.
Still made a mistake.
Ji Feihua smiled calmly and said: "It's not necessary. The red color looks festive. A talented person has just entered the palace. After all, it is a happy event. Let's just show it off like this."
When Hu Xiaotian saw no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Admiral, Eunuch Quan sent a message today, asking me to carefully protect this new talented man. He also said that Xiao Zhuozi will be transferred to Mingyue Palace to wait for orders.
"If you want to gain Ji Feihua's trust, you must tell the truth most of the time. Ji Feihua is suspicious and extremely smart. His eyes are all over the palace. Hu Xiaotian knows that if he deliberately deceives him, he will probably be offended.
Ji Feihua expressed appreciation for Hu Xiaotian's frankness, took a few steps forward, picked a white magnolia flower from the magnolia tree, put it in front of her nose and smelled it: "These old people really spent their money this time."
,Protect? Haha, why do you need to mobilize so many troops? Does anyone in this palace dare to attack Cai Ren?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought, I'm afraid that you, Ji Feihua, would like to kill this new talented person quickly. If the external rumors are true, there really is that kind of relationship between Ji Feihua and the emperor. This new talented person will be very interested in them.
The relationship between them was quite a threat. He whispered: "What do you want me to do, Admiral?" On the surface, he was preparing to accept the mission, but in fact, he was taking the opportunity to find out Ji Feihua's true thoughts.
Ji Feihua said: "The one who comes is not good..." After a pause, he added: "The one who is good will not come!" The magnolia flower in his hand moved automatically without wind, and the petals as white as jade burst silently. Ji Fei's eyes were full of flowers.
A cold light suddenly appeared: "Since he wants you to protect him, you should protect him carefully. Xiaotian, the Za family is going to transfer you to Mingyue Palace to serve the talented people personally. What do you think?"
"Uh... this..." Hu Xiaotian never expected that Ji Feihua would make such a decision. Now that he said it, it was a foregone conclusion. Even if he was unwilling in his heart, it would be of no use.
"you are not willing?"
Hu Xiaotian lowered his head and said: "Admiral, there are many matters at Siyuan Bureau, and Xiaotian is worried that we cannot take care of them all."
Ji Feihua laughed: "You think the position of Mingyue Palace is low. The Za family is not going to demote you. The Siyuan Bureau still teaches you to be responsible, but you just leave the specific things to others.
Mingyue Palace seems inconspicuous, but in fact it is extremely important. If the emperor is not interested in talented people, you can naturally transfer her back after a few days. If the emperor hangs around here, you have to help me check her out.
The details."
Ji Feihua narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully: "Although it is a job of serving people, it also gives me an opportunity to get close to the emperor, don't you think?"
Hu Xiaotian bowed his head to the ground: "Thank you very much, Governor Ji, for your support!"
Ji Feihua Jiejie laughed and turned her eyes. She looked at the clusters of poinsettias in the distance and said, "The Za family knows that Wang Decai has been against you many times. How can they offend anyone from the Za family? They killed him today just to bring peace to the family."
Get rid of your bad breath, but just remember, as long as you work for the Zajia in a down-to-earth manner, the Zajia will take good care of you."
Hu Xiaotian thanked him, but in his heart he secretly admired Ji Feihua's sophistication. It seemed that Ji Feihua didn't just want to get rid of this new literary talent, and arranged himself in Mingyue Palace. It was obviously a long-term plan. Quan De'an
Asking herself to try to protect Wenya, Ji Feihua used a trick to give herself a chance to protect herself. The burden on her shoulders suddenly became heavy. If the emperor had no interest in Wenya, it would be fine. If the emperor was fascinated by Wenya's beauty and indulged in it,
, made Ji Feihua feel that her status was threatened, and the next step must be to eradicate Wenya. As the adopted daughter of Master Wen, she was afraid that it would cause an uproar.
The death of Wang Decai naturally shocked Xinning Palace. It is said that after Empress Jian heard about the incident, she went to the emperor to cry, but later the matter was ignored. The emperor obviously had no intention of punishing Ji Feihua. The authorities were confused by the onlookers, but most people in the palace were confused because of this.
After seeing the situation clearly, Ji Feihua killed the young eunuch mainly to give Queen Jian a warning. The fundamental reason was that Queen Jian single-handedly introduced talented people into the palace. On the surface, Queen Jian took the initiative, but behind the scenes, Queen Jian existed
Cooperation with Taishi Wen Chenghuan.
Although Ji Feihua was arrogant, she would not openly attack talented people under the current circumstances. Although Empress Jian lost a confidant eunuch, she gained the promise of Taishi Wen and other old officials, who agreed to flatter her.
Her son Long Tingsheng ascended to the position of prince, and everyone got what he deserved.
The complicated situation in the palace naturally makes it difficult to make a choice. The eunuchs and maids of all ages are also faced with the problem of taking sides. Of course, a considerable number of them choose to be neutral. For example, the old eunuch Li Yuncong in the Library Pavilion.
It was unfortunate to witness Ji Feihua killing Wang Decai in Mingyue Palace. If Li Yuncong had known that this would happen, he would have chosen to avoid it no matter what.
The study room has been tidied up, and the books that the emperor likes to read daily have been placed on the bookshelf. The layout of the study room is similar to that of the imperial study room, but it is slightly smaller. Li Yuncong checked the study room one last time and made sure that there were no omissions.
Then he waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
In the past two days, he had come to deliver books. Hu Xiaotian had been leading people to tidy up the garden in Mingyue Palace. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect the matters assigned by his superiors. Seeing Li Yuncong preparing to leave, Hu Xiaotian greeted him with a smile: "Eunuch Li is going to
gone?"
Li Yuncong nodded and said: "I'm going to leave now that I'm done." He looked at the newly renovated garden around him and said softly: "Eunuch Hu's mission is almost completed?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "I'm afraid I have to stay here for a while."
Li Yuncong was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Hu Xiaotian would be arranged to take charge of Mingyue Palace. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the purpose of such an arrangement. Judging from what he witnessed, Hu Xiaotian should be Ji Feihua's confidant, and Ji Feihua sent him
They are placed here to monitor this new talent.
Li Yuncong raised his head and saw the clouds in the sky, and whispered: "The wind and rain are coming, and you will inevitably get wet if you stand outside. It is best to find a shelter from the rain as soon as possible."
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaotian also wants to sit back and watch the storm rise, but it's a pity that he doesn't have that kind of fate."
Li Yuncong smiled, knowing that he understood what he meant, so he didn't say much, patted his shoulder lightly, and left.
Out of politeness, Hu Xiaotian sent him outside Mingyue Palace. Before leaving, Li Yuncong said: "Tonight, if Eunuch Hu has time, go to the library and let's have a few drinks."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you Eunuch Li for your kindness. Xiaotian will be there on time for dinner tonight."
Li Yuncong bowed his hand to him and left quickly.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Li Yuncong. He had seen Li Yuncong's skills with his own eyes and knew that Li Yuncong was not a simple person. Even compared with Ji Feihua, Quan De'an and others, his martial arts skills were several times higher than his own. For some reason, this old man
The eunuch always gives him an unpredictable and profound feeling. What is the purpose of taking the initiative to meet him this time?
Not long after Li Yuncong left, a troublesome person came here, but it was Queen Jian who arrived.
Although Hu Xiaotian did not want to deal with Queen Jian in his heart, he had to go see her due to his status. Although Wang Decai died in the hands of Ji Feihua, he had a conflict with himself before that. After all, Queen Jian
She is the master of the harem, and as a queen she still has considerable influence in the palace.
Empress Jian came this time with two eunuchs and two maids. There was no trace of sadness on her expression. Hu Xiaotian stepped forward to say hello and quietly observed her face. He saw that Empress Jian was in trouble.
She looked shocked and secretly sighed in her heart. All of these royal people are really hard-hearted. Not to mention the death of their confidant eunuch, even if a kitten or puppy dies, it will affect her mood to some extent. But look at Queen Jian
It seemed that she had not been affected in any way. On second thought, this was normal. What they cared about in the harem was how to gain the emperor's favor, and other things were put in a secondary position. What about the life and death of a little eunuch?
She will take it to heart. Besides, as a queen, how can she command the Sixth Palace if she doesn't even have the ability to be patient?
Queen Jian walked around Mingyue Palace and said softly: "This garden is quite well organized. It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it."
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Thank you very much for the compliment, Queen. This is what a young man should do."
Queen Jian's eyes flashed with contempt: "So, you can be considered loyal."
Hu Xiaotian secretly cursed in his heart, I am always loyal, and said loudly: "You can learn from the sun and the moon by being loyal to Dakang, the emperor, and the empress."
"It's not up to you whether you are loyal or traitorous. I have eyes that can see, and I can see clearly." Empress Jian pointed to the study, and the two eunuchs stepped forward quickly and opened the door of the study first.
Hu Xiaotian bowed and stood there, because Queen Jian didn't say anything, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should go or not.
Queen Jian came to the study door and stopped, saying softly: "Mustache, come in with me." (To be continued)
