Farewell Flower Festival

After seeing Eunuch Qian, Yunxiang felt like she saw a savior, and she reported him the next second, "General Manager, spare my life, it was Eunuch Qian who ordered me to do this, and it was Eunuch Qian who gave me the poison, I was forced to do it..."

Eunuch Qian was so angry that his voice rose octaves. He called Yunxiang a little bitch and rushed over to hit her, but was caught by Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu asked Eunuch Qian why he ordered her to kill someone. Yunxiang replied that Eunuch Qian disliked Aunt Li because she was old and had leverage over her, which would become a disaster one day.

Eunuch Liu handed Yunxiang and Eunuch Qian over to Xiao Ting for handling. When the group was leaving, they met another person outside the door.

Xiao Ting was a little surprised to see him, and sarcastically said, "What a rare guest! What brings you here?"

Eunuch Wu smiled and replied, "I came to ask for help from Chief Steward Liu."

This time it was Eunuch Liu's turn and he was a little surprised. He asked who he wanted to ask for. Eunuch Wu walked over and waved inside, and Chaoyan came trotting over. Eunuch Liu looked at Chaoyan and told her to follow Eunuch Wu in the future, and then he left with his people. Xiao Ting did not stay for long, and left with Yunxiang and Eunuch Qian. The two looked miserable, unable to lift their feet, and were dragged forward.

Looking at the miserable backs of the two people, Chaoyan felt a little emotional. When she heard the voice of Eunuch Wu, she withdrew her thoughts.

"Is everything done?"

"Yes. Uncle, wait for a moment. I'll go back to the house to clean up."

Less than half an hour later, Chaoyan came out carrying a shabby little bundle, which contained a wooden comb, a set of clothes, and some threads for mending clothes. Eunuch Wu was waiting outside the door. When he saw Chaoyan trotting over with a small bundle in her arms, he greeted her with a very amiable smile and said, "Are you done packing?" She nodded and followed Eunuch Wu away.

On the way, Chao Yan asked, "Uncle, do you know Eunuch Liu?"

Eunuch Wu replied, "We all entered the palace together, so we have some friendship."

Chao Yan said: "That eunuch Xiao has a really fierce look in his eyes."

Eunuch Wu said, "He doesn't like being called eunuch. Don't call him that in front of him in the future."

Chao Yan said: "He also entered the palace with Shu'er."

Eunuch Wu nodded.

What a fate, Chaoyan sighed in her heart and complained silently, others have become the chief steward, how come you, uncle, ended up in the cold palace?

Suddenly she thought of a key question. She glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, I heard that His Highness likes to eat mice. Is that true?"

Eunuch Wu replied, "Your Highness just caught a rat to scare people, and the rumor spread like wildfire. Rumors can melt gold, and people's words are to be feared."

Chao Yan thought, do you have to use mice to scare people? Fortunately, I didn't eat them. Amitabha, good thing, good thing. Then he asked, "What if you like to dig out people's eyes?"

Eunuch Wu said, "It's just a scare. Once it gets out, people will take it seriously. Alas, people's words are scary."

Chao Yan: "..." Trouble comes from the mouth~

As for Yunxiang and Eunuch Qian, after they were taken to the Inner Court, less than three minutes passed before Eunuch Qian confessed all his crimes. Not only did he poison Aunt Li, but the two of them also colluded to steal property from the palace. They both had their hands chopped off, were beaten with a hundred sticks, and were expelled from the palace. Once the news spread, petty thefts in the palace disappeared, but that's a story for later.

……

After arriving at Xueyin Palace, Eunuch Wu first took Chaoyan to see the house. It was larger than the bunk bed she had lived in before. It had a separate dressing table and wardrobe, as well as a chicken-wing wood carved bed. It was no different from the ladies' boudoirs seen in costume dramas. On the spotless table lay a new dress and a pair of new embroidered shoes. She didn't know what she had been hesitating about before.

"You're really here?"

Hearing the mocking voice behind her, Chaoyan turned around and saw that Mu Tianling had appeared from the door at some point in time, walked in and sat down on the stool, tapping his fingers on the table twice, "Where's the tea?" Chaoyan pretended not to hear it. She wanted to serve tea and water as soon as he came. What a wishful thinking.

Eunuch Wu went over and poured a cup of tea. Mu Tianling picked up the cup and scraped it, then said, "Why did you find a deaf person here?" Chao Yan turned her little face away, with an arrogant look that said, "Who wants to pay attention to you?"

If it wasn't for my uncle's face, I wouldn't have come here.

"Your Highness, let's go out first and let Miss Xiao Lian have a rest. She was also frightened just now." Eunuch Wu said sympathetically.

Mu Tianling glanced at Chao Yan who was facing people with the back of her head, calmly put down the teacup, calmly stood up and walked over, and when he passed by Chao Yan, he nonchalantly said, "Sweep the yard later."

As soon as he came out, the door closed behind him. Mu Tianling said, "You have quite a bad temper." Eunuch Wu said, "Your Highness, please don't bully Miss Xiao Lian. I had a lot of trouble to persuade her to come here." Mu Tianling snorted, "Let her do more work in the future and don't let her eat here for free." After that, he turned and left.

......

Chaoyan was admiring the antique dressing table when someone knocked on the door. The person who knocked so politely must be Shuer. After she opened the door, Eunuch Wu said that the bath water would be ready soon and she could tell him if she needed anything in the future.

"Thank you, uncle~" Chaoyan was overjoyed that she could take a hot bath.

When Eunuch Wu brought her the hot water, he also brought her some soap. Chaoyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect to see soap in this place. She felt like she had returned to the modern era. But it's not called soap here, but palace soap. The raw materials are all natural and pollution-free. It smells like a natural herbal fragrance. The texture is delicate and smooth. It's a top-quality product. It's hard to find in the cold palace. I wonder where Eunuch Wu got it from?

However, in Chaoyan's eyes, this palace soap is no different from ordinary soap. After all, it is very common in her place.

After Eunuch Wu closed the door and left, Chaoyan moved a stool to push it behind the door. Although she didn't think anyone would come to peek, she still felt more at ease with the stool.

Mu Tianling was sitting in the room reading a book. Eunuch Wu came in and gave him a cup of tea. He turned a page and asked casually, "Why did you fall for that little mute?"

Eunuch Wu smiled and replied, "Your Highness doesn't hate it either, and besides, Miss Xiao Lian is not dumb, Your Highness, please don't call me that in the future."

Mu Tianling hummed, not knowing whether he heard it or not.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Chao Yan put on her new clothes and new embroidered shoes, and could not wait to run to the dressing table to admire her new look. She sighed in her heart that clothes make the man, and she looked much better. She lifted her hair and leaned closer to stare at the scar in the bronze mirror, feeling a little worried, wondering if it would heal in the future...

"Whoo~~~"

She stretched comfortably, raised her head and fell on the bed, sinking into the soft bedding, leaving all her worries behind, thinking that she could finally have a good sleep tonight~
