She lay down helplessly and ordered in a soft voice:

"Xiao Yunzi, go get my red mandarin duck bellyband and put it on for me."

"Yes." Xiao Yunzi carefully took out the bellyband and put it on Liu Shuanglian.

Liu Shuanglian glanced at him and laughed inwardly.

"You have served me so many times, but you are still so timid?"

Xiao Yunzi was so scared that he fell to his knees: "My Queen, spare my life!"

Liu Shuanglian waved her hand.

"You look pretty good in this skin, but don't get hurt by your kneeling. Get out."

"Yes, your majesty." Xiao Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took his leave.

He originally thought that only the emperor was difficult to serve, but he didn't expect that the queen was even more difficult.

Life as a young eunuch was really hard for him.

The young eunuch had a sad face and quietly hid in the small kitchen of Fengning Palace.

There are only a few servants left in Fengning Palace now, and he has to prepare various foods for the Empress at all times.

He really couldn't understand how the Empress, who was under house arrest, could still be so rampant and have to torment a little eunuch like him.

Today he helped the Queen to take a bath and was so tired that his hands and mouth were sore.

No matter what, I have to secretly make myself some delicious food to nourish my body.

Poor little eunuch, his life in this deep palace is really painful.

Xiao Yunzi looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he picked up the bowl of bird's nest specially prepared for the empress on the stove and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.

Unexpectedly, just after swallowing the last bite, he heard a voice shouting, "You little Yunzi, you come to eat again! I will tell the queen."

Xiao Yunzi was so scared that his hands shook and the bowl fell to the ground.

He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Duozi, who also served the empress closely.

He hurried forward to cover Xiao Duozi's mouth and whispered, "Are you trying to kill yourself? The queen just fell asleep. You are so loud. What if you wake her up?"

Xiao Duozi blinked and signaled him to let go.

After Xiao Yunzi let go of her hand, she squatted down to pick up the broken bowl and said angrily, "Stop making trouble. I'm not eating it secretly. I'm trying to taste it to see if this bird's nest suits the queen's taste."

Seeing this, Xiao Duozi hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, I was just joking with you. We are both miserable people, forced to stay in Fengning Palace. The Queen always makes us do shameful things. We don't know when the truth will be revealed and we will lose our lives. You are my only friend, please don't be angry with me."

Xiao Yunzi waved his hands and said quickly: "I'm not angry, you are right, we may die at any time, so I want to find a way to survive."

When Xiao Duozi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He moved closer to Xiao Yunzi and said:

"Good brother, please help me too. I don't want to die. You have to give me a hand."

Xiao Yunzi whispered, "Some time ago, Prince Duan wanted to win me over, saying that as long as I could pass on some news about the queen to him at the right time, he could guarantee my life. What do you think? Do you want to do it?"

When Xiao Duozi heard about this good thing, he slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, I will follow you from now on. I will do whatever you say."

After the two of them had discussed it, Xiao Yunzi decided to go to Prince Duan's mansion to deliver a message next time.

And the other side.

After drilling through several dog holes in the courtyards, Leng Yi finally found the place where Ruan Qingchen was on patrol.

She took out a heavy purse full of silver. To be on the safe side, she bribed a young eunuch to help find a confidant of Commander Ruan.

When this confidant came, Leng Yi told him her real purpose.

She hoped to help pass a message to Commander Ruan, saying that a little palace maid wanted to see him.

Although this confidant felt puzzled, he still ran to pass the message to Ruan Qingchen for the sake of the money.

Ruan Qingchen felt a little impatient when he heard a little palace maid looking for him outside the door.

He often received expressions of admiration from some young palace maids, who either gave him sachets or handkerchiefs, and he had long been accustomed to it.

He looked down upon those palace maids at all.

They are all vulgar people.

When he came out, the guards around him started to make a noise and looked at him with a teasing look.

He was unhappy but helpless, so he had to put on a stern face and look for the little palace maid.

He saw in front of him a little palace maid who was dressed in dirt and had dry grass on her head.

He originally wanted to get angry, but when he looked closely, he found that this was Leng Yi, the personal maid of the Queen of Fengning Palace.

He was shocked and quickly took Leng Yi to a remote place.

He asked in a deep voice: "Are you looking for me?"

His eyes were fixed on Leng Yi, revealing an unparalleled domineering attitude.

Leng Yi looked at Commander Ruan in front of her. He was extraordinarily handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a tall stature. Wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guards, he looked even more majestic and imposing.

Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ruan Qingchen frowned and asked again: "Are you looking for me?"

Leng Yi came back to her senses and whispered, "Yes...it's me."

Leng Yi then quietly conveyed the Queen's order: "Her Majesty asked me to deliver a message saying that you should go to Fengning Palace late at night. Her Majesty has something to discuss with you."

Ruan Qingchen already had a guess in his mind. Today, the emperor ordered him to put Prime Minister Liu in the inner prison. He thought that the queen would look for him, but he didn't expect it would be so soon.

His heart moved, and he suddenly pulled Leng Yi closer and gently pinched her waist.

Leng Yi screamed and tried to push him away, but he held her tightly.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Go back and tell the queen to wash herself clean and wait for me."

Leng Yi was stunned by his words, and quickly pushed him away, scolding in a low voice: "Commander Ruan, how can you be so rude to the queen?"

Ruan Qingchen didn't care. He laughed and turned away.

Leng Yi was left standing there alone, looking unhappy.

Leng Yi carefully avoided the crowd, crawled out from several dog holes, and returned to Fengning Palace.

She changed into clean clothes and came to Liu Shuanglian's bedroom.

Seeing the queen lying on the bed, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward.

Liu Shuanglian sensed Leng Yi's presence, opened her eyes, and asked, "Is it done?"

Leng Yi nodded, and Leng Yi mustered up the courage to say:

"Commander Ruan told the queen to clean herself up and wait for him."

Liu Shuanglian's body under the quilt couldn't help but tremble and her breathing became tight.

Leng Yi thought the queen was angry, so she tried to comfort her: "The queen, please don't get angry with that kind of pervert. Or find someone else?"

Leng Yi made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Liu Shuanglian smiled and said, "It's okay. Didn't I tell you? Commander Ruan is one of us."

Leng Yi felt relieved when she saw that the queen was not angry.

Liu Shuanglian continued to instruct, "When Commander Ruan arrives tonight, you will stand guard outside the door and alert me if anyone approaches. Also, if you hear any noises in the room, don't be surprised."

Leng Yi nodded to show that she understood.
