Court eunuch

Warm your hands. "

Wei Yanwan gave a reassuring "hmm", leaned slightly, and leaned against him, her breath full of familiarity, "But what's the news?"

Jinzhong rubbed her fingertips one by one, as if admiring a treasure, "I have two pieces of news, my servant. One is that someone came to report that Concubine Yu went to the North Third Institute. The other is that the new year is approaching, and the palace No one is in charge of the overall situation, the emperor intends to let the empress lift the ban and return the power of the six palaces. You have to be prepared."

After hearing this, Wei Yanwan sneered: "A few stupid women are getting in the way." Then she said: "It seems that Concubine Yu is the one who colluded with them, and that's right, she has been dissatisfied with me for a long time."

While speaking, Jinzhong reminded: "The water is cold." He took a sweat towel, reached out and scooped it between her knees, hugged a pair of jade feet in his arms, and wiped off the water stains. "Legs are sore during pregnancy, it's hard to move around." Wei Yanwan only felt her muscles and bones loosen when she covered her ankle with an appropriate amount of force, and sighed: "Where did you learn the technique?"

Jin Zhong smiled lowly, but said nothing.

After kneading for about a quarter of an hour, Jinzhong pulled a thin quilt over his feet and covered his feet, "It's late at night, the servant should go." Just as he was about to get up, the corner of his clothes was caught by someone. He was caught off guard and sat back down again. on the couch.

Wei Yanwan leaned forward, wrapped his arms around his neck, pulled him in front of her, stared at his fox eyes for a while, then smiled suddenly, put her cheek on her face, and exhaled like blue: "Be careful these few days." Now the opponent It's the end of the road, and I don't know what else will happen.

Jinzhong's face was slightly stiff, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes."

The follow-up was as Jinzhong said, and he was released from the restraint two days later.She first went to Shoukang Palace with the emperor to meet the queen mother, and regained the right to manage the six palaces, and then the emperor allocated additional palace personnel and expenses to her.It seems that the various differences between the two have been exposed before.

"Sister, the emperor still misses your good son after all." After hearing this, Concubine Yu regained control of the Liugong, and brought her fifth elder brother Yongqi to hurry.

Afterwards, his face was indifferent, "Is it good or not, it's just that Ben Gong has a few years more affection with him than others." He said with a sigh: "But this affection eventually killed a good man."

Concubine Yu knew that she was talking about Ling Yunche, and persuaded her: "Although he is a good person, he is also a troublesome one. If my sister gets involved with him, she will only endanger herself. Now it is so easy to get rid of it, but don't mention it again..."

"I copied a few scriptures." Then interrupted her, with a cold tone, "If you have time, go to Yuhua Pavilion and burn it for him for me, and it will give me a little peace of mind."

Concubine Yu anxiously said: "Big sister may cause criticism by doing this."

Then he stared at her with a look of pity: "I always dream about him these days. I have a clean relationship with him, but he lost his life for me. If you help me once, it will put my heart at ease."

Concubine Yu had no choice but to agree, and said again: "Sister, the Baiergos family and the Balin family from Mongolia, because of your injustice, had a conflict with Concubine Ying, and now they are restrained, do you..."

Then he folded his hands, like a statue of a god, "It's not good for me to change what the emperor decides. However, God has the virtue of being good at life. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, it's not good to always hold people back, so I will try to agree with you." The emperor mentioned it."

That night, the emperor stayed in Yikun Palace.

"Release them and reset them?" The emperor stared at the successor, his eyebrows tightened.

"Yes." After that, she nodded slowly, her words seemed to be somewhat kind, "They are noble girls from Mongolia, they behaved a little out of line when they first came here, after this lesson, they will definitely restrain themselves."

The emperor squinted at her, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "That's fine. But the grades don't need to be restored, as long as they are allowed to move out of Beisan."

At the fourth watch, suddenly a palace official came to report with a candle: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is water in the third Beishou..."

Then he sat up in surprise: "How is the situation?"

The emperor was a little annoyed and sleepy: "Where is the person on duty tonight!"

The palace man said: "Master Fu is on duty tonight, and he has been rescued. When he went in to see, Baiergos had fallen into the well and disappeared. Ying promised that he didn't know where he went. Master Fu is leading people to search. "

The emperor hurriedly changed into his pajamas and came out of the room: "Li Yu, hurry up and bring someone..."

While talking, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, Ying promised to find it."

"Bring it up!" The emperor was furious when he heard that there was water in the palace.

Barin was escorted and thrown into the court by several guards, trembling all over, with erratic eyes, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Tell me! What evil intentions did you hide, how did the Beisan Institute get out of the water, and how did Baiergos die!"

Baring just sobbed and didn't speak.

Then, with a compassionate expression, he said slowly, "Ying promised, don't be afraid, my palace and the emperor are here, and you won't be wronged. What did you see, and what happened in the third North Institute? Calm down, then talk to Bengong."

"Your Majesty..." Balin called for help in Mongolian with a trembling voice, "Help me... Your Majesty..."

The emperor asked again: "What happened?"

"I..." Balin finally switched back to Chinese, and suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye, his expression changed suddenly: "I don't know...I don't know..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Jin Zhong walked in and stopped under the corridor, avoiding the lights in the hall by chance, with a shadow covering his feminine face, "Master Fu has already found out that Mr. Baiergos was pushed away by someone. Those who went down into the well, the water came out because someone turned over the lampstand.”

22. Rescue

Hearing her incoherent speech and crazy expression, the emperor felt a little irritable, and waved his hand: "Since I can't explain clearly, I will send her to the Punishment Division for trial."

The guards on the left and right came to pull her away, but Barin suddenly screamed, broke free from the confinement, ran a few steps, fell down the steps, and burst into a terrified cry: "I say! Your Majesty! I say!"

The emperor frowned, and the guards had already reacted, held her down, and were about to drag her out, and then said, "Since you are willing to speak, let's speak here." Her tone was still indifferent, but somewhat majestic.

"I said...I said..." Balin gritted her teeth, closed her eyes as if resigned to fate, and pointed out: "Yes...it's him! He brought people to kill me and Sister Baoyin. He pushed him down the well, I... I ran away... Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty!"

Everyone was shocked, the person that Balin pointed at was Jin Zhong.

The emperor's voice was as cold as ice: "Are you sure?"

Balin became more and more sure: "Yes! It's him!"

Seeing that his valet was involved in this matter, the emperor squinted his eyes: "Jinzhong!"

Jin Zhong had already knelt down, with a look of fear on his face, he bent over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the slave has never done this before, and I don't know why Ying promised to slander the slave."

Afterwards, it is like a god who judges all, with a solemn expression and inviolable.She touched the emerald butterfly flying about on her head, and said slowly: "Since she has identified you, and the matter is unclear at the moment, you will be troubled. Go to the Department of Punishment with her, and have someone investigate it carefully." .” She was wearing a dark purple cloak, and she was sitting upright in the hall, with the light emitting from her back, like a puppet carved in clay.

Li Yu glanced at the emperor, seeing that he didn't show anything, so he waved lightly, and immediately there were guards to pull him away.

Suddenly someone from the palace reported: "Concubine Su and Concubine Qing have arrived."

Wei Yanwan came in a hurry with Lu Muping, and when she saw someone dragging Jinzhong out, her expression froze, and she stopped her voice: "Wait!"

Seeing the young master's words, the guards hesitated for a moment, then really slowed down.

Wei Yan Wanfu greeted the ceremony: "The minister and concubine heard that there was a flood in the palace, and they missed the emperor and the empress, and came here with the concubine Qing to greet the emperor and the empress. I don't know if the emperor and the empress are still safe? Can the flood be saved?"

Then she raised her eyebrows: "Concubine Su, you are pregnant with Liujia, you shouldn't act in such a hurry. This matter has nothing to do with you, just go back and rest."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wei Yanwan ignored the follow-up persuasion, looked at the emperor with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, and asked, "What did Ying do when she promised to be with Eunuch Jinzhong?"

Facing Wei Yanwan, the emperor softened his tone: "The one who walked into the water is the North Third Institute, and I am fine here." He motioned for Li Yu to welcome the two concubines in, held Wei Yanwan's slightly cold hand, and explained in person: "Go to the North Third Institute. When the water was flooded, the Baiergos family fell into the well again and disappeared, Ying promised to identify that Jin Zhong led someone to do it, and the trial is not clear at the moment, so why not send them all to the Punishment Department for a thorough investigation."

Wei Yanwan understood, and said calmly: "Since it is said that Jin Zhong did it, then Ying promised to know the details, how about the concubine ask the emperor and the empress?" Without a trace, she withdrew her hand from the emperor's palm , took the hand stove from Chunchan, stroked the pumpkin pattern on the stove, and sat down beside the emperor, Chongying agreed with a smile: "Let's talk. If he wants to kill you two, he must not go alone. There must be more than one thing to prepare. Let’s talk about who Jin Zhong brought, whether he took the poisoned wine or the white silk, how he pushed Baiergos down the well, and how you broke free from his hands. Yes, how did Beisan Institute get through the water, huh?"

Balin's complexion changed a few times, and his tone was a little flamboyant: "I'm a concubine..."

"Say it!" Wei Yanwan suddenly raised her voice, sharply cutting off Balin's hesitation.

Concubine Qing on the side also chimed in: "Hey, don't make random identifications. Eunuch Jinzhong is the emperor's close servant, a person who walks in front of the imperial court. You misidentified him, but you have hidden evil intentions."

Balin's complexion alternated between red and white: "I didn't admit my mistake! I...it's you!" Balin suddenly pointed at Wei Yanwan as if grasping some great secret, and said bitterly, "It's you, the other one brought by Jinzhong. People are your people! They... they brought ropes, they held Sister Baoyin as soon as they came in, and Sister Baoyin struggled...they...they pushed her down the well! Then...then I ran away , I don't know how it caught fire
