The news that Yan Heqing was leaving the House of Internal Affairs reached Eunuch Zhao's ears within half a day.

Guanshi Feng reported to Eunuch Zhao like walking on eggshells, thinking that Eunuch Zhao would be dissatisfied, but he just nodded slightly and said disapprovingly, "Sooner or later."

Steward Feng scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Eunuch, if this Yan Heqing becomes a famous person beside the emperor, and blows into the emperor's ear, the life of this slave, I'm afraid... ouch, I'm afraid it will be hard to protect."

Eunuch Zhao sneered: "What are you afraid of? With your head, the emperor will feel dirty even if he mentions it."

"Yes, yes." Feng Guanshi nodded and bowed, "The villain is relying on his father-in-law."

Eunuch Zhao took a sip of tea leisurely: "You are ready to prepare. In two days, I will go talk to Miss Hongxiu."

"Girl with red sleeves?" Feng Guanshi thumped in his heart, the job of Jingyang Palace?

Eunuch Zhao glanced at Guanshi Feng: "What's the matter? I'm busy? You won't leave because of me?"

"Not idle, not idle." Steward Feng was startled, and hurriedly stepped back after speaking.

Hongxiu would never have thought that Eunuch Zhao would come to look for her.

Although the two are in the same position, there is no overlap between them, and they go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. Hongxiu can probably guess who Eunuch Zhao is here for. She remembered what Xiao Yu'an said to herself before, and she immediately became wary.

Seeing Hongxiu's expression, Eunuch Zhao chuckled: "Miss Hongxiu, do you really want me to sit down?"

Hongxiu came back to her senses abruptly, asked Eunuch Zhao to sit down, and quickly asked people to pour tea: "This servant is rude, I have neglected Eunuch, please forgive me."

"The red-sleeved girl was joking. It seems that my old face is useful in other places besides the House of Internal Affairs." Eunuch Zhao lifted the tea cover and blew gently, "I have heard that the red-sleeved girl is very pleased with the emperor. In fact, I want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the red-sleeve girl."

Eunuch Zhao's words are a little unclear. He himself is an old slave of three dynasties, bathed in grace for generations, and has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than ten years, not to mention that the late emperor once treated him like a relative.

Hongxiu said: "Eunuch Zhao is joking, the slaves are just doing their own thing."

Eunuch Zhao said meaningfully: "Yes, it's a matter of duty."

Hongxiu continued: "Eunuch Zhao, you are also an experienced person in this palace. I think you should understand what we slaves should and should not do."

Hongxiu originally wanted to remind Eunuch Zhao that Yan Heqing was already in Jingyang Palace, so he should stop thinking about persecuting him.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Zhao was not annoyed when he heard such thorny words, and he smiled cheerfully: "The red-sleeve girl deserves to be favored by the emperor. What shouldn't be done, Hongxiu girl, if you don't do what you should do, isn't it the biggest dereliction of duty for us as slaves?"

Hongxiu was stunned: "... Eunuch Zhao, what does this mean?"

Eunuch Zhao took a sip of his tea calmly, and then continued: "I heard that the confinement of Jingyang Palace has to be instructed by the red-sleeve girl before serving the emperor?"

Hongxiu said: "It's natural, but you and I are both bright, there are some people, we slaves can't move casually."

Eunuch Zhao suddenly sneered: "Can't move? Miss Hongxiu, some people here are slaves in my House of Internal Affairs. All I need to do is to make him a slave. I don't care who he is? Miss Hongxiu, You can understand that the people from Jingyang Palace are going to be sent to the emperor's bedside, if you send a wolf, it will hurt the emperor a little..."

Eunuch Zhao paused just right, Hongxiu was startled.

"Girl Hongxiu, you don't need to hurt her life. You just make the person who should be a slave become a slave. Isn't this what you should do? Yes, we are both slaves, and the biggest slave Isn't the matter of duty to let the emperor have no worries?"

Eunuch Zhao finished speaking slowly, got up, said his farewell and left, leaving Hongxiu at a loss.
