It was still a bit chilly in the April night, so Xianqian fetched a satin quilt and gently wrapped Wan Yu's knees around her, reminding her softly, "Your Majesty...it's time."

In Xianqian's memory, her mother has never slept so late.To put it in a rebellious way, when the late emperor passed away, the empress dowager should eat and sleep, even though there was a period of time when she didn't talk much, it's still sad to think about it.But it was the first time that he had trouble sleeping and eating like tonight, and it turned out to be because of a young eunuch from the Si Yuan Bureau.

How could Wan Yu fall asleep?The slaves in the palace are greedy for life and fear of death, so they don't want to work in Ning'an Palace, of course Wan Yu knows this.But she had never seen a servant who was as bold as Yao Xi and defied orders to the death.That slave wants to die?She refused to let it go.That servant doesn't want to enter Ning'an Palace?She yielded.Masters have always picked slaves, how can slaves pick masters?

"No one was found?" Wan Yu was really afraid that the little eunuch would die.Otherwise, who would she send her anger at?

Xianqian replied according to the chief eunuch's original words: "The person is not in the Siyuan Bureau. The people in the Siyuan Bureau said that Yao Xi claimed to come to Ning'an Palace for the night and left the house very early." The empress dowager hates eunuchs, even if Ning An Gong's chief eunuch was also not allowed to enter the empress's room to answer, and all the words were passed down by her.As for why the empress dowager hated the eunuch so much?That's another story.

Many possibilities flashed through Wan Yu's mind.That little eunuch escaped?Throwing well dead?Who was sent out when he collided on the way here?

Regarding the last point, Wan Yu felt that it was very possible.With that little eunuch's reckless and ignorant stupidity, he might really offend some bad-tempered concubine and cause trouble. "All the palaces ask, if the gate of the palace is locked and he can't escape, can a living person disappear out of thin air?"

"Slave obeys the order." Xianqian felt sorry for the master, and persuaded her earnestly: "Why don't you rest first? There's no need to hurt yourself for a little slave."

Wan Yu stubbornly shook her head.

She is in a somewhat complicated mood now, with anger at being offended, unwillingness to be rejected, and a little bit worried?She had a very smooth life. When she was a child, she was pampered by a father who loved daughters like life. When she grew up, she was used to being loved by the late emperor. Suddenly, a slave like Yao Xi appeared... A strange feeling arose in Wan Yu's heart. She wanted to tame that little eunuch who disliked her so much.

The premise is that the little eunuch is still alive!Wan Yu couldn't help but see the face of the little eunuch in his mind.

***

Dangdang Dangdang!

What Yao Xi heard was not the watch drum at midnight, but the death knell of her life.

She touched the palace wall in the dark and walked towards the densely lit place.Yao Xi knew that unless the empress dowager was a bodhisattva, she might still have a chance, but it was obvious that the empress dowager was not.In the daytime she speaks out and offends, and in the night she escapes and resists orders. With the temper of the empress, even if she has nine lives, it is not enough to kill her!

The lights are getting closer and closer, there are people wherever there are lights, Yao Xi wants to find someone to help lead the way to the Ning'an Palace, maybe the empress has already fallen asleep, and the gatekeeper didn't have time to report the matter?As long as she finds a way to stop the news, her life will be saved.

The palace was very quiet late at night, Yao Xi heard footsteps and voices, just when Yao Xi thought she had walked back to the main palace road and could finally go to Ning'an Palace, she heard her name.

"Yao Xi's grandson, if he wants to die, he will implicate the people in our Si Yuan Bureau."

"Tomorrow it's my turn to deliver things to Supervisor Shang Shan, and because of Yao Xi's trouble, I can't sleep for two days."

"There is no one living in the palace over there, so you don't need to look for it?"

"Let's take a look. Take him to Ning'an Palace as soon as possible, and we can go back to sleep for a while. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager won't be able to catch that kid and take her anger out on our Siyuan Bureau staff. The money I paid my godfather last month has not been repaid."

……

The two talked and walked towards Yao Xi's direction. Fortunately, no one lived in this area of ​​the palace, and the lanterns they were carrying were not far away, so they didn't find her.

Yao Xi knew it was too late to make amends, the empress dowager was sending people to arrest her, if she fell into the hands of the empress dowager, it would be more than just death.There are many ways to torture people in the palace. She heard some old eunuchs say that the old eunuchs commented on some punishments: Compared with that, the pain of cutting eggs is nothing.

Yao Xi couldn't help but feel chills in his crotch just hearing it.She quietly hid in the darkness, trying to find a quiet place to hang herself before being caught by the empress dowager's people.

She had to find a taller tree.

Passing through a short forest and climbing up a slope in the dark, Yao Xi saw a pavilion lit with lanterns in the distance. The pavilion was built on the mountainside, and there was a lush tree beside the pavilion.Standing on the balustrade of the pavilion just enough to tie the belt to the tree that was literally made for hanging.

When Yao Xi walked to the gazebo, he found a young woman in the pavilion. There were delicious food and wine on the table, and the woman was sitting in the pavilion and drinking by herself.Look at this person's appearance, he must be some master in the palace, but somehow there is no one around to serve him.

Yao Xi, who was about to go on the road, planned to go in and ask for a drink, maybe the pain would be less when he left after drinking some wine.Of course she didn't have the guts to do so on weekdays, once she thought about death, she wouldn't care about anything.

The woman in the booth seemed to be drunk, and her hands were shaking badly when she poured the wine again, and more was spilled on the table than poured into the glass.Xibao walked into the pavilion, and bowed to the woman: "I'm serving you."

Long Yi was startled, raised her drunken face and looked to her side, a handsome eunuch took the jug and poured her a glass of wine steadily.Immediately afterwards, he picked up the empty glass and poured himself a glass.

"Have you been rewarded with wine? Just drink it." Long Yi held his chin with one hand, with a delirious smile on his face.

"I beg my master to reward this slave with a glass of wine before leaving for the sake of this slave's life is not long." Without waiting for Long Yi's order, Yao Xi sat down on the stone bench and drank the wine proudly.The wine was sweet and soft in the throat, with a long aftertaste. Yao Xi had never drunk such a good thing, so he poured another glass.

"Hey! Save some for me." Long Yi joked, thinking that this eunuch is really bold and funny. "You said your life is not long? Did you commit a crime or suffer from a disease?"

Yao Xi explained in detail how to offend the Empress Dowager.

Long Yi patted the table and laughed loudly: "Nice job."

Yao Xi was terrified by these words, she caused trouble by talking nonsense, now she could only accept her fate, but she couldn't see this young master's drunken slip of the tongue causing trouble to her upper body. "Don't say it out of your mouth like I did. It would be bad if people heard it. The Empress Dowager is not to blame for this matter. It is kind enough for the Empress to spare my life. It is only my fault that I lost my way tonight."

"Lost?" Long Yi felt how stupid the eunuch was to get lost in the palace.No matter how big the palace is, you can just stop someone and ask where you want to go.She was in the Moon-Watching Pavilion, and the Ning'an Palace was in the opposite direction. It seemed that the little eunuch was out of his mind, and offending the Empress Dowager was due to ignorance and fearlessness.

Yao Xi took a few mouthfuls of food, nodded and said: "I remember walking the same way, but the result became more and more deserted, with no light at all, and it was like a ghost hitting a wall. I couldn't get out anyway. I didn't go in very much either. Because of the palace errands, it is not clear which road in the palace has been changed, and which empress has moved to the palace."

Longyi's heart tightened.Which lane changed?There is really a way to change.She wanted to live in the palace for a while, and got used to living in a spacious place, so she opened up the two unoccupied palaces, and the palace road separating the two palaces naturally disappeared.She is also a very quiet person. Most of the people in that area are uninhabited, so naturally there is not much light.

From this point of view, it was his own responsibility for the little eunuch to miss the errand.Longyi talked for a while, and then blew the night breeze again, so he was a little sober from the wine.Seeing the little eunuch drinking wine with a sad face, Long Yi couldn't help asking: "Then how do you plan?"

"After eating and drinking enough, I found a tree and hung it. I was caught by the empress dowager, so I don't have to suffer flesh and blood. The servant is afraid of pain." Yao Xi picked up the jug and found it was empty. One drop, that drop of wine crystal treasure was as bright as the tears shed by the flagon jug to see her off.

Long Yi felt that she was really drunk. She looked at the eunuch talking about death under the lamplight, she had a kind of awe-inspiring beauty, her translucent white skin was covered with a faint halo, and there was a faint glow in her dark eyes. Calm as water.For a moment, Longyi felt that the person in front of him might be a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world.She has seen thousands of eunuchs, and this one is really different from what she remembered.

"Maybe the empress dowager doesn't care about you?" Longyi said so, but he didn't believe it.It may be exaggerated for Wan Yu to be called the demon queen, but it is by no means wronged.

Yao Xi thought that the little master in front of him must have just entered the palace, and before entering the palace, he was in a deep boudoir, obviously he had never heard of the empress dowager.People who are about to die have good words.Yao Xi sincerely advised: "You'd better avoid that one in the palace from now on. There aren't many masters who are as talkative as you in this palace."

Seeing that the wine was exhausted and the food was cold, Yao Xi was worried that the Empress Dowager's people would come here, so he got up and said, "Thank you, master, for the wine. The servant must hurry on his way, don't dare to delay any longer." She originally planned to end her life in this pavilion, since someone was there Therefore, it is not good to scare others, so I plan to go up again and find a tree again.

Long Yi really admired the eunuch's ability to explain his death so plainly. At first hearing, he thought he was just going out for a trip, but Long Yi knew that the eunuch would never come back once he left. "I drank too much, and the night is dark and windy, so I can't go back by myself. Please give me a ride!"

Yao Xi hesitated.Ordinarily, she was favored by someone with a glass of wine, so she should send him back, but she was also worried that she would meet someone from the empress dowager halfway. "The slave is afraid of being captured by the empress dowager's people... If you don't die, it will be too late."

It was the first time Long Yi saw someone so anxious to die, she stood up staggeringly with the stone table on her back: "My palace is not far from the Moon-Watching Pavilion, if you meet someone from the Empress Dowager on the way, just leave me and get away .OK?"

well!Yao Xi is also afraid that something will happen to this drunken little master, so he will accumulate virtue for the next life, and maybe he will be reborn into a good family in the next life.She raised her arms and bent her body, saying: "The slave will send the master back to the palace."

Longyi put his hand on Yao Xi's and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Eunuch."
