Xiao Chen carefully inspected every inch of the bedroom.
Although Xiao Chen still doesn't know what the white powder in the incense burner is so far, Xiao Chen can be sure that it is definitely something harmful to the emperor.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, the King of Zhao was at most instigated by the King of Han to target the prince.
Now it seems that he is more sinister and vicious than the King of Han. He can even kill his own father.
Xiao Chen carefully checked the washbasin and the wooden shelf, but found nothing.
"It seems that Zhu Gaosui just tampered with the incense burner." Xiao Chen thought and turned to leave.
There were footsteps at the door, and a eunuch walked in holding a new quilt.
"Are you adding a quilt because the emperor is cold?" Xiao Chen asked.
Seeing Xiao Chen, the eunuch was a little surprised. Hearing Xiao Chen's question, he hurriedly said: "Return to Master Ziyi, no."
"No, then why are you holding a quilt?" Xiao Chen said, looking at the other person carefully.
"In the palace, the emperor's bedding is taken care of by the palace maids. When it comes to the camp, all these things are done by the servants. Logically speaking, this palace is located in an earthen fortress, and there is no such big wind and sand. In the morning, I will clean up the dragon for the emperor.
The bed and bedding were covered with a layer of fine sand. I was afraid that the emperor would not sleep comfortably, so I changed them to new ones." The eunuch explained hurriedly.
Xiao Chen's current status is equivalent to that of the general manager in Tumu Fort. All matters must be reported to him carefully.
"Where is the bedding that you changed? Has it been washed?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"No, it's still in the bathroom." Holding the quilt, the eunuch was a little confused for a moment.
"Take me there." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
If the bedding that had been changed went into the basin, there would be no trace left. We had to be quick.
The eunuch looked at the new quilt in his arms a little embarrassedly: "But sir, this..."
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen grabbed the quilt and threw it on the large dragon bed: "Let's go, take me there."
The washroom is at the back of the main hall, opposite the royal kitchen.
Seeing Xiao Chen walking into the washroom followed closely by the eunuch responsible for the emperor's daily life, the eunuch at the door of the royal kitchen had a complicated expression on his face.
"Master Ziyi, after eating the royal meal, do you want to experience the warmth of the royal quilt?"
"Shut up, keep talking nonsense, I will kill you right now." The captain of the Dongchang School next to him also saw Xiao Chen, and even before he could say hello, he heard the other party's suspicion of Xiao Chen.
Just as his anger subsided, he was stimulated again by these words, and he immediately pulled out the entire sword from its scabbard.
Over there, Xiao Chen was also about to step into the door. When he heard the unique sound of Dongchang's sword being unsheathed, he couldn't help but look back.
Seeing the tense situation at the door of the imperial kitchen, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop."
"How can you draw a sword casually at the entrance to the imperial kitchen?" Xiao Chen walked towards the captain of the Dongchang School with a steel sword in his hand, his face livid.
The captain of Dongchang knew that he was in the wrong, but the steel knife in his hand was still not sheathed.
"He just said bad things about you, and I can't stand it, so, just..." Looking at Xiao Chen's stern eyes, the captain slowly lowered his head and did not dare to say any more words.
"You should always remember that the saber in your hand is used to deal with enemies and treacherous ministers. As long as the other party is not disloyal to the court or unjust to the emperor, you cannot use the saber on them." Xiao Chen said loudly with his hands behind his back.
shouted.
"Yes." The captain lowered his head and slowly put the sword in his hand into the scabbard on his waist.
Seeing that the other party realized what was wrong with him in time and withdrew his sword, Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and tapped the captain's shoulder a few times.
"Although I am responsible for the safety of the entire civil fort, I am just an ordinary householder in Dongchang. There must be something wrong with me. Why don't others be allowed to discuss it?" Xiao Chen showed a smile on his face and said softly.
said.
"But, you are running back and forth for the safety of the emperor's camp, but he is pointing fingers behind your back. I really can't stand it," the captain said aggrievedly.
Staring at the other party, Xiao Chen nodded gently: "There are some things that you have to be a ninja even if you can't stand them."
"Yes. I understand," the captain replied in a low voice.
When the eunuch on the side heard Xiao Chen teaching the captain such a lesson, half of the fear in his heart disappeared.
According to Xiao Chen's current status, dealing with a eunuch is just a piece of cake.
I was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that the captain defended Xiao Chen so much that he actually alerted him.
He thought to himself that if Xiao Chen got angry, he would kneel down and admit his mistake.
With his affection for serving the emperor for many years, he should not embarrass himself too much.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen only reprimanded his own captain in Dongchang and ignored himself.
Just as he was feeling complacent, Xiao Chen said, "Are you from the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
"Yes, the slave is the eunuch who is responsible for the ceremony." The eunuch replied hurriedly.
"Didn't the Chief of Ceremonies teach you not to talk about other people's rights and wrongs behind their backs?" Xiao Chen said calmly, staring at the other person.
The reason for reprimanding the captain of Dongchang is because the people of Dongchang must know how to measure and know how to advance and retreat.
But it doesn't mean that if you provoke yourself, you can escape unscathed.
Hearing Xiao Chen's accusation, the eunuch's legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "I talk too much, I know my fault."
Although we spent the past few days together, Xiao Chen was just like an ordinary captain, doing nothing but walking back and forth in the earthen fort.
He always smiles when meeting people.
But the beautiful unicorn purple clothes on his body truly represent the supreme power. Although his official position is only the only Qianhu in Dongchang, no one knows that he is the real uncrowned king.
She talked about him behind his back, and even provoked the Dongchang captain to draw his sword. Even when he came to the emperor, he could not escape the fate of being punished.
"Okay, you are the Supervisor of Ceremonies. I have no right to comment on your faults. When the factory master comes back, you can go to him to receive the punishment yourself." Xiao Chen glanced at the shivering eunuch kneeling on the ground.
Turn around and leave.
The eunuch at the door of the bathroom was also panicked when he saw this scene.
These people like me are all eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
The top leader of the Si Li Jian is the eunuch Lin Shangli.
Now, Lin Shangli is not only the eunuch in charge of the Li Supervisor, but also the admiral of the entire Dongchang and the highest chief executive of the Dongchang.
Xiao Chen is Lin Shangli's favorite general, and if he offends him, Lin Shangli's punishment is destined to be inevitable.
Seeing Xiao Chen approaching, the eunuch hurriedly said: "Sir, these beddings that have been changed are placed here. Please take a look."
"Yeah." Xiao Chen responded, walked into the bathroom, and came to the pile of quilts placed on the dragon bed.
