“He asked me to keep an eye on the people in our palace. Because Little Yuanzi is Eunuch Xing’s godson, he often comes over to walk around and is familiar with everyone. Today, he came over again, so I was careful.”
Although he was timid, there were no fools in the palace. Look at his words. He was taking credit for everything.
However, he did not know that he had used this little trick at the wrong time.
Xuanyuan Qi said impatiently, “Get to the point.”
The young eunuch cowered and omitted what he had prepared to say. He hurriedly said, “I heard the eunuch in charge of the courtyard ask Little
Yuanzi…”
“Does His Majesty have any doubts?”
Xiao Yuanzi replied, “No, Eunuch Qian, please tell that person not to worry.”
Seeing that he was so sure, Eunuch Qian asked again, “Really?”
“It’s true. I was watching when His Majesty changed His Highness’ clothes. He talked about the wounds on his body. The sadness on his face doesn’t seem to be fake.” Xiao Yuanzi was not working in Yuqian Palace, but he seemed to have seen it with his own eyes.
Eunuch Qian clearly knew the reason. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “But isn’t His Majesty’s attitude towards the Shen family a little wrong?
“That’s because she’s of His Highness’s bloodline. She’ll definitely be given more preferential treatment.”
With that, the young eunuch carefully raised his eyes and observed Xuanyuan Qi’s expression. “That’s all I heard. Then, Eunuch Qian told him not to look for him for the next few days and not to come to the Yuqian Palace.”
Eunuch Wu looked at Xuanyuan Qi in fear. He had a bold guess, but he didn’t dare to say it.
“What happened today will rot in your stomach. If word gets out..
The young eunuch hurriedly said, “I understand. I didn’t go anywhere tonight. I’ve been sleeping.”
Xuanyuan Qi nodded. “You may leave.”
By the time they left, Eunuch Wu had yet to recover from his shock.
“Wu Zhengde.”
Xuanyuan Qi’s voice sounded, and Eunuch Wu shuddered. “I understand. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on the lateral court.”
Most of the servants in the lateral court were sinners, and the work they usually did was also the dirtiest and most tiring.
For example, they were in charge of clearing out the latrines in the palace every day.
At five o’clock, the palace door opened and they sent out all the feces.
Usually, everyone did their best to stay far away from the cart that carried all that human waste. It was too easy for them to spread any news.
“While you’re at it, check on that Qian fellow,” he said.
“Yes.” Eunuch Wu glanced at Xuanyuan Qi. “Then Eunuch Xing…”
For Xiao Yuanzi to explain what happened that day so clearly, someone must have explained it to him.
Coincidentally, Eunuch Xing was also present when he changed His Highness’s clothes.
Xuanyuan Qi rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “Don’t worry about him for now. The most important thing now is to find the person behind them.”
If not for this incident, Xuanyuan Qi would never have thought that there would be so many holes around him.
“Yes. I understand.”
He wanted to say something but hesitated. Xuanyuan Qi saw this, but he didn’t say anything.
‘Got it. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.” he thought.
Although he was still very curious, Eunuch Wu had been in the palace for so long that he knew that curiosity killed the cat.
He silently retreated. When he returned after arranging the matters Xuanyuan Qi had instructed, he saw that he was still sitting there reading the memorial. He went forward and advised, “Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Your health is more important. It’s time to rest.”
Xuanyuan Qi turned and nodded. He thought of something and said, “Let’s stop court sessions tomorrow.”
‘Yes.”
It was a dreamless night. When Shen Yijia woke up, it was already past noon. Because of her magnificent feat yesterday, the people of the Jade Light Hall did not dare to underestimate her.
Now, every time she looked over, the people she saw would be frightened to death.
Shen Yijia snorted and swaggered out of the Jade Light Hall without looking at the vegetarian food on the table.
“It’s over, it’s over. She went out again. Should we report it to the higher-ups?” the little palace maid said with a trembling voice.
Another palace maid shook her head repeatedly. “No. If she finds out that we went to complain, won’t she settle scores with us when she comes back? Besides, the higher-ups didn’t say that they wouldn’t let her out of this palace.”
This was someone who dared to argue with the Empress Dowager and escape unscathed. How stupid did they have to be to dare to go against her?
“Why isn’t she worried at all?”
“Who knows? Perhaps she thinks that she’s going to die anyway and is fearless? Isn’t there a saying that one has to be a full ghost even if they die? She probably has this mentality.” She wanted to be reckless for a few days before she died.
“It’s possible.”
The fearless Shen Yijia entered the imperial kitchen with ease. However, after looking around, she did not see any meat or fish in the huge imperial kitchen.
She sighed and walked to the courtyard to pick up a fat chef who was resting on a rattan chair.
It was already past lunchtime. The imperial kitchen staff had all gone down to rest, leaving only one person to guard the place.
“Who is it?” The fat chef shuddered. When he saw that it was a girl he had never seen before, he said angrily, “How dare you? Is this a place where people can just come and go?”
As he spoke, he tried to break free from Shen Yijia’s hand, but it did not move for a long time.
“Let go.”
Shen Yijia let go obediently.
Bang! The fat chef fell back into the rattan chair. The rattan chair fell back again due to inertia.
Before the fat chef could react, he performed a somersault on the spot.
He was stunned for a moment. He staggered to his feet and straightened his hat. He pointed at Shen Yijia with a red face and said, “Where did this wild girl come from?”
“Where’s the meat?” Shen Yijia interrupted him.
“Meat? What meat? Oh, I understand. You’re simply bold. Your Majesty ordered a vegetarian diet for seven days. How dare you.”
“Chef Zhu, the Empress Dowager didn’t eat today. Hurry up and think of a way to…” Eunuch Yu suddenly walked in. When he saw the situation in the courtyard, he was stunned. “Madam Song!”
“Mrs. Song?” she thought.
Chef Zhu looked at Shen Yijia and then at Eunuch Yu. “Is it that Madam Song?”
Eunuch Yu thought to himself, “Apart from that Madam Song, who else is there in the palace?”
Chef Zhu silently retracted his index finger that was still pointing at Shen Yijia.
“I can’t afford to offend her!” he thought.
Shen Yijia blinked. The old woman didn’t eat? She must be very hungry, right?
In the Longevity Palace, Xuanyuan Ye followed a nanny into the pavilion on the west side of the main hall.
The window of the attic was open. Empress Dowager Zhou was lying on a soft couch in front of the window with her eyes closed.
She walked up to Empress Dowager Zhou and called out softly, “Grandmother.”
Empress Dowager Zhou opened her eyes and looked at her. “Why did Ye’er enter the palace?”
Xuanyuan Ye was wearing mourning clothes. Perhaps because she had cried too much, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she did not wear any extra pearl hairpins.
She was no longer as ostentatious as she usually was. Instead, she looked even more pitiful.
If it were anyone else, they would naturally not be able to appear in front of the empress dowager in this outfit. However, it was different if it was Xuanyuan
“I heard that Grandmother hasn’t eaten for two days. I’m worried about
Grandmother’s health.” As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.” Grandmother, I know you feel terrible, but you have to take care of your body. I don’t have a father anymore. I can’t live without Grandmother.”
Towards the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Empress Dowager Zhou’s tears were drawn out by her.
For a moment, the two hugged each other and cried.
Because Empress Dowager Zhou did not let them tell the emperor, the nanny took the initiative to run to the lord’s residence to look for the young princess to enter the palace to persuade her.
When Eunuch Yu returned and saw this scene, he asked curiously, ‘Why did the princess enter the palace?”
After asking, she noticed the nanny’s expression. What else did he not understand? He pointed at her angrily and said, “Nanny Gao, what do you think?”
“I…” Nanny Gao also regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to look for the Third Prince.
The grandmother and granddaughter were crying. A gust of wind blew in with a fragrance.
This fragrance? Why did it smell so much like meat?
The two of them paused and looked out the window at the same time..
