Early landing in the world of martial arts

The emperor said calmly.

After that night, there seemed to be some sort of estrangement between the two, and they were no longer invisible close friends as before.

Hearing the emperor's words, the old eunuch was stunned for a moment.

"Milk tea from the Western Regions..."

He murmured.

There was a sense of loneliness in the words.

He didn't know what he did wrong, but the person in front of him definitely didn't want him to appear in front of him.

really.

After staying for less than half an hour, His Majesty the Emperor asked him to go out for a walk first, and help him see how the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are doing now.

The old eunuch who was a servant could only agree, and then closed the door and went out.

Autumn is coming, everything withered in the bleak autumn wind.

The flowers and plants in the imperial garden were well taken care of by those craftsmen, and they did not shiver like other plants in autumn, and then gradually withered, waiting for the next year to continue to bloom.

However, the old eunuch knew.

One day he will be like those withered flowers and plants, waiting for the passing of winter and the arrival of spring.

But the difference is that his spring...is so far away.

And his winter is endless.

The Lenggong next to the imperial garden was just as deserted as he was. He hesitated for a long time outside the gate of the Lenggong, walking back and forth, hesitating in his heart.

"Who are you, why do you linger in front of the cold palace for a long time, neither aggressive nor leave, do you want to steal something?"

A little palace lady stood at the door of the cold palace and shouted.

When the old eunuch saw the maid, he asked, "Who are you? I have been in this palace for so long, why have I never seen you? Could it be that you want to steal something, but a thief calling for a thief?"

"You are talking nonsense! I am the new maid sent by the emperor to take care of the empress. The empress is hungry in the middle of the night, so I came out to find something to eat for her."

The little maid spoke with confidence, and the old lady listened with a smile on her face.

"The maids who are sent to the cold palace should be the same as the master. They are not allowed to leave the palace gate for half a step. If you come out rashly like this, you are not afraid of being discovered. How many boards will you pull?"

When the little maid heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

He only heard the empress said that he was hungry, so he ran out without thinking too much, it seemed that the empress also told him not to go out.

"Okay. Since you and I can meet again, it's fate, why don't I go find some food for you?"

"You? You are considered old, but I don't think you look like a good person. Could it be that you want to bribe me with food and let me steal things for you? I'm not that stupid."

The old eunuch smiled and said, "In the imperial palace, every little girl like you is as shrewd as a ghost. There are not many innocent and pure like you, but in the imperial palace, innocence is not a compliment. word."

"From now on, you can stay in the cold palace. If you need something, or want to eat, just tell me, and I will get it for you. You have lived in the palace for most of your life. Do you want to be free or give me food?" Not for you, but if you want food, clothing, housing and transportation, I can still get some."

The little maid was somewhat skeptical.

So he nodded and said, "Since you are so good, then bring me some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to eat."

"Isn't your lady favorite to eat pear blossoms?"

"I like sweet-scented osmanthus cake, don't you? If you know what your mother wants to eat, then bring some back by the way."

The old eunuch nodded.

Then he walked away at a slow pace, the little maid was watching at the gate of the palace, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, walking so slowly, when will she be able to bring the food back?

The old eunuch walked along the secret door in the palace.

He has already explored clearly and clearly the secret doors in the palace.

After all, I have lived here for decades, walking back and forth every day, it is difficult to think clearly.

At this time, even with a black cloth over his eyes, he could still follow the breath of the road to the imperial dining room.

"Hey, slow down and eat less, or you will be miserable if you are found out tomorrow."

"It's rare for us to be a night job. If we don't eat more, how can we get back our money? Don't forget, in order to eat more, we paid a lot of money this month."

"Hey, let's not talk about this for now, let's think about how to get out first, then there seems to be a bunch of guards outside, and the information you bought with money seems not very accurate."

The imperial dining room, which was supposed to be quiet, suddenly heard three voices. The old eunuch walked over, opened the door directly, and found three young eunuchs stealing food there. It seemed that they had just entered the palace not long ago.

"Grand... Father-in-law..."

When the three of them saw the old eunuch's appearance, they knew that the other party must be a senior senior who had lived in the palace for a long time.

Even if you don't have the eyesight to see, you should understand something when you see the python robe on the opponent.

After all, it didn't take too long to enter the palace, but at least it was half a year or a year. The old man's identity could be guessed at a glance.

"Why are you here late at night? Could it be to see the jokes of our boys?"

One of them dared to joke.

The other two were terrified, scared to death, for fear that the old eunuch would make things difficult for them, or report on their actions.

"I'm hungry, it's understandable to come here to get something to eat. Go ahead, I'll get mine, and you eat yours."

said the old eunuch.

After finishing speaking, he ignored the people in front of him and walked towards the place where the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was placed in the imperial dining room.

"Hey! Eunuch! That belongs to Concubine Huan!"

"The empress said, she wants to eat during the day tomorrow."

These eunuchs panicked.

"If someone tracks you down, tell them that I let you eat. Also, thank you, Concubine Huan, for me."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he casually took Lihuacui from another cabinet.

Then leisurely walked out.After he left, the three young eunuchs looked at each other, not knowing whether they should continue to eat here or leave.

"The money has been spent, and you can't get it back. If you don't eat a little more today to get back your money, will you still dare to eat in the next few days?"

Among them, the previous one said jokingly.

When the other two heard it, it seemed that there was some truth in it, and they were all discovered. There was nothing to do, the big deal was to eat enough before talking, even if there were many things to hide later, it would be better to eat before talking.

So the three of them ate more than half of the leftovers in the imperial dining room that were going to be fed to the pigs in order to eat less.

Don't look like they are going to be fed to the livestock, but the appearance of these dishes is not bad at all, all of them are not going to be used after the emperor and the empresses only eat a little bit.

There were even some who didn't even move their chopsticks and were sent back intact, but those cooks didn't dare to steal them, so they had to take advantage of these night watchmen and eunuchs.

And they naturally have to pay some benefits to those cooks.

Otherwise, if the other party reports it, or puts something in those dishes, they will be able to bear it.

The old eunuch who took the food was walking back on the way, the high moon was hanging, as if it was the first time he met the woman who had haunted him for most of his life.

He holds food in his hands.My heart became more and more disturbed. When I came to the gate of the Leng Palace, the little maid was still anxiously wandering in front of the palace gate, murmuring constantly that she was deceived.

"I'm not a liar."

The old eunuch smiled when he came to the palace gate.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand made the little maid happy for a while.

"Okay, for the sake of the food you brought here, I believe that you are not a bad person for the time being, but you are not allowed to enter the cold palace, otherwise I will invite you to sit in the past. If you go in and be found , will also be punished.”

The little maid said.

Quite lively and lovely.

"I know, but I haven't gone in here for a long time. An old friend was imprisoned here. May I go and have a look?"

said the old eunuch.

Martial arts No.1 in the imperial palace would be so humble as to ask for it like a little maid.

"But, aren't you afraid of being boarded? You are not as cute as me, and no one will pity you."

The little maid looked at him solemnly and said.

"I know, I just went in and took a look. No one will do anything to me, and no one dares."

The old eunuch nodded with a smile and said.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly opened a side door next to the cold palace, and let the old eunuch enter quickly.

"Let me tell you, this side door seems to have been specially left by the craftsmen who built the palace. I think they left such a side door because they saw that the empress was so good-looking. I can't bear to watch her guard all day long." In this cold palace."

The little palace maid chattered non-stop along the way, usually she and the empress were the only two people in this cold palace, but now an outsider finally came to talk to her.

The empress in the cold palace doesn't like to talk, she just sits with a smile all day long, watching, no matter how much the little palace maid talks, she will only catch up with a sentence or two from time to time.

The old eunuch is also very strange, similar to the empress, and always likes to smile and watch.

"Your Majesty is probably still waiting for me to go back by the window at this time. Look, her shadow is indeed there."

The little palace maid pointed to the shadow reflected on the window in the wing room with some joy, and it could be seen that it was a slim figure from the back.

The old eunuch's hands trembled a little.

He couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the shadow of someone he had been thinking about for decades.

As the No. 1 martial artist in the imperial palace, he has received a lot of psychological stimulation recently, all of which come from the deepest pain in his heart.

"Are you getting old and your body is prone to weakness? It's still cold in this weather? Although autumn is here, it looks like you're not wearing thin clothes."

The little maid asked suspiciously.

"No, little girl, you go outside to play first, how about I make osmanthus cake for you tomorrow?"

The old eunuch is like a human trafficker coaxing an ignorant girl, trying to make the little girl obey his will.

The little maid was a little puzzled, but she glanced at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, knowing the truth of eating soft-mouthed people, so she nodded and walked aside to look at it.

She was originally a young lady of your country's public family, but it was because her father who committed a crime made her troubled that she came here to become a palace maid.

Fortunately, this empress in the cold palace is gentle and gentle, not as mean and unreasonable as people outside the palace say.

Apart from doing some work here, it's really no different.

Thinking of this, this optimistic lady happily ate osmanthus cake. She remembered that the last time she ate it was a few months ago.

At that time, the family was still very good, and my father was very kind to people.

It's just that these all turned into clouds in a moment.

When the old eunuch came to the door of the room, he didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to approach. He just watched silently at the door.

The woman inside didn't notice it at all, she just wondered why the little palace lady didn't come back after going for so long, was she arrested by the guards patrolling outside?

People who are still running around in the middle of the night in the palace will inevitably be punished.

Thinking of this, the empress couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Looking back at the window, I found that there was a plate of Lihuacui on the window sill.

"How does this girl know that I like to eat this?"

The empress was a little surprised, she looked up and found that the little girl was sitting not far away looking around.

"Come back soon, the flying thieves are coming before the lights are turned off."

The empress said in horror.

The story of the Flying Thief was once told to her by herself, but it was so long ago that when she told others, she only had a few words that were similar in shape but not in meaning.

Now, whenever she hears the name Flying Thief, she will show a look of fear very cooperatively.

The empress is very satisfied with this, because this story has always been used only by that person to scare her, but it is a pity that everything is over now.

"It's a pity..."

The empress's sigh broke the heart of the old eunuch outside the wall.

How could the person who let himself miss him day and night become like this?Did they all do it by themselves?

Would it have been better if the two hadn't met at the beginning?

Seeing each other is like not seeing each other, how can it be ruthless to be affectionate.
