It took a total of three days to travel from Sanhe Town to Jing'an Palace.Today is August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are not a few wanderers rushing to Jing'an City to reunite with their families. The roads are blocked from morning to afternoon.A car of four people dozed off and finally arrived at the back gate of the palace before sunset.

This back door is a bit out of the way, it is the back door of the imperial palace, the only way for the common people to sell men into the palace as eunuchs.Apart from the two guarding eunuchs and two indifferent door guards, there was basically no one else in the Houyi gate.After all, no one would sell their sons to the palace as eunuchs during the Mid-Autumn Festival unless they were really in need of money.

The little boy accompanying him was Gao Zile, the bastard son of the fifth house of the Gao family in Hezhou.He was in front of Liu Erya and had already been led in by the eunuch surnamed Zhou.His nanny simply followed the instructions of the old eunuch at the door and signed, and happily drove home in a carriage with a package of something.

Liu Daniu led Liu Erya to Houyi Gate to do a simple registration, but the old eunuch said: "The girl goes to Houjia Gate."

Liu Daniu said: "Man, my younger brother."

The old eunuch obviously didn't believe it, Liu Daniu said again: "No breasts and no butt, man."

The old eunuch still didn't believe it. Liu Erya didn't know what the Houyimen were doing, so naturally they didn't understand why they were so entangled in whether they were male or female.Seeing that Liu Daniu was a little impatient at last, Liu Erya said, "I'm a man."

The old eunuch was fascinated, and nodded after seeing that Liu Erya had an Adam's apple. He took the secret letter from Liu Daniu, asked Liu Erya to sign on the paper, and then called a young eunuch who happened to pass by to take Liu Erya's hand. Er Ya brought it in.

Liu Erya walked a few steps, looked back, and said, "Brother, won't you go in with me to find father?"

Liu Daniu took a big box out, waved his hands without looking back, and said, "No!"

The eunuch who led Liu Erya was also a clean and good-looking boy, about 19 years old, and he was very familiar with the people in the palace.Occasionally, a few passing eunuchs would come to salute and call him "Eunuch Liang".

After passing through the willow forest and crossing the small lotus pond, Liu Erya still looked back from time to time.How he wished that his "brother" would follow and go to meet their "father" with him.

He didn't know that at this moment Liu Daniu had already brought a box of 50 taels of silver to the shoe store to buy shoes.

And he, "Liu Erya", is worth 50 taels of silver.

For some reason, when he came to the gate of a small courtyard, Eunuch Liang seemed to slow down quietly.His lips moved slightly, he hesitated to speak, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but say what he wanted to say at the beginning: "Young Master, I'm afraid... he was kidnapped and sold in."

Eunuch Liang's voice was so low that only Erya Liu could hear it clearly.

"Abduction?" Liu Erya explained very seriously, "No. My brother obeyed my mother's order and asked me to enter the palace to find my father."

Unaware that he was sold, Eunuch Liang continued to lead him to the front, saying, "My lord is so naive."

Liu Erya blinked her eyes and said, "Brother said my father's name is Song Xiaocheng, do you know this person?"

When Eunuch Liang heard the name "Song Xiaocheng", he immediately stopped and said: "This man cannot be your father." Turning around, he said a word of caution: "In the future, in the palace, please don't mention this name."

Seeing his strict eyebrows and a little worry in his eyes, Liu Erya nodded and asked cautiously: "Do you know why?"

Eunuch Liang frowned and said, "If you call this name directly in the palace, you will lose your head."

It was getting late, and the promenade was lit with candlelight.Eunuch Liang led Liu Erya to the gate of a courtyard, and repeatedly said: "Remember, the palace is no better than the outside, be careful in everything, and know how to protect yourself."

The gate was pushed open, and behind the courtyard gate, there was an open-air iron prison.

The lights on the eaves stretched the figures very long and cast them on the pale stone road, like demons wandering in the world.

There were constant cries in my ears, and after the screams, a man wrapped in a white cloth was stepped out by two eunuchs.The moonlight was shining, and the white cloth on the man's lower body was dripping with blood, and the blood dripped through the stretcher on the bluestone floor of the promenade, which was so shocking.

Liu Erya stood in the corner of the iron prison, perhaps her feet were a little sore from standing for a long time, and she fell to the ground.His eyes moved from the blood on the ground to the next man being carried out.The man's mouth was stuffed with a white cloth, tears were streaming down his face, and he was crying, and there was also a smear of blood on his lower body.

Gao Zile didn't know where he was sent, and Liu Erya didn't want to understand what was going on in the room with the door closed.The young man who was sitting next to him and his age was a little tired from crying. He let out a breath and coughed a few times. Liu Erya patted him on the back and waited for him to calm down before asking: "What is going on here?" What? Why are they bleeding so much?"

The young man looked at him incredulously for a while, and then cried again: "That's a place to purify, everyone was sold in to be eunuchs. I have been locked up here for three days, and I watch him every day. ...Some of those people after the cleansing passed out, some died, many died...I miss my mother so much, I don't want to be a eunuch..."

In this era where medical skills are not very developed, most people who lose too much blood can only enter the coffin, which is really pitiful.But...Liu Erya was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly, "Being...a eunuch?"

The boy cried for a long time before Liu Erya gradually understood what was going on.

It turned out that she was sold... If that was the case, Aunt Zhang should not be my mother, and Liu Daniu should not be my brother.So... where is my family?

The bright moon in the sky is like a mirror, accompanied by floating clouds and stars, and a cherry blossom falls in the backyard. Under the white moonlight, I am alone, so desolate.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is supposed to be a day to reunite with family members, gather around the yard, drink tea and enjoy the full moon.The male in the Jingshiyuan has become a lonely and helpless wretch who can only be locked in the deep palace for the rest of his life.

"Liu Erya."

Liu Erya is still in a trance at the moment.

"Liu Erya!"

Or, he is really not used to this name.

"Liu Erya!!"

Liu Erya raised her head, and there was a ferocious old eunuch staring at him at the gate of the iron prison.Liu Erya knew it was his turn, so she stood up and walked out slowly through the opened iron gate.

With heavy steps, Liu Erya didn't want to follow the old eunuch into the cleansing room at the moment.

His body is affected by his parents, he cannot allow his body to be treated so cruelly without his parents knowing.What's more, he didn't want to die under the swordsmith before recovering his memory and finding his biological parents.

Liu Erya pinched the flesh on her earlobe to wake herself up.He wanted to escape, really wanted to escape.

The evening breeze caressed the willows, the moonlit night was desolate, the door of the clean room opened with a creak, Liu Erya paused with her right foot as she stepped on the threshold, gritted her teeth, turned around, and fled in the opposite direction from the clean room.

In the mid-autumn festival of August, the full moon is like a lamp, and the moonlight and silver light caress every corner of the palace.Liu Erya walked through the weeping willows, ran up the stairs, and smashed open the south gate, stumbling along the way, if it wasn't for the moonlight, he might have fallen.

Behind the south gate is another willow forest.The gang of eunuchs behind them chased them all the way with lanterns, Liu Erya panted and pushed aside the willow branches, and the gray-white figure on the small pond flew past. catch up.Unexpectedly, when he turned a corner, he saw a scene of a bolt from the blue.

Behind the waterfall rockery is a wide lake.The first emperor liked fishing, especially at night, so he ordered people to lower the wall around the lake, so the lake was named Yueying Lake.

At this moment, the bright moon floats on the Yueying Lake, and several snow-white lotus lanterns pass by on the upper reaches of the moon.

The emperor stood by the lake in a long black robe, and beside him stood an eunuch Yuchi who served him personally.It was late at night, and Empress Zhou and Concubine Wei had already returned to their palaces to rest.The one who has been pestering the emperor and refusing to return to the palace is the most sticky concubine Du Shu in Qiuhe Palace.

Concubine Du Shu was like a bee buzzing in the emperor's ear, saying things the emperor didn't want to hear, humming songs that the emperor was not interested in.The cold emperor stood by the lake like a sculpture, just treating her as air.

The night wind blew slowly, the emperor turned his head to wink at Eunuch Yuchi beside him, and raised his foot to leave.

It doesn't matter if you don't go, if you take such a big step, something will happen.

Liu Erya, who ran quickly from behind the rockery, really didn't know that there was a lake here, and she didn't expect that there were people by the lake.It didn't matter if he couldn't stop, and he was plotted against by the lantern poles that were placed on the ground by someone. Before everyone could react, the emperor who had just taken a step was thrown into the water.

Both Liu Erya and the current emperor fell into the water, with a splash, a crystal clear wave bloomed on the lake, like a carved flower made of thousands of colored glazes. When the cold wind blew, the carved flower shattered and turned into water droplets, which disappeared in an instant.

The weeping willows on the bank crossed the water, and the cool breeze seemed to come with a faint fragrance of flowers. The unknown fragrance of flowers made people intoxicated.

The emperor quietly looked at the beauty in front of him.The beauty's lips were red and her teeth were white, she was panting erratically, and her tearful eyes were full of panic and bewilderment.The emperor was still watching quietly, his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his heart was like still water.

It wasn't until the beauty uttered a word that the emperor's cold pool-like heart set off a slight ripple.

What Liu Erya said was "help me".

He didn't know the identity of the person pushed into the water by him at this moment, let alone that he was the current emperor, but he just felt that he was caught, like a life-saving straw, and he couldn't let go of a chance.If you let it go, you may never have another chance.

Under the moonlight, Liu Erya put her hands on the emperor's shoulders, and they were very close.Liu Erya looked at the handsome face so close, she was still flustered, so flustered that she didn't even notice the evil smile on the emperor's lips.Slowly, I only heard the emperor say: "A man?"

The water in the lake was slightly cool, and there were small fish swimming around the two of them.Eunuch Yuchi shouted from the lakeside: "Come quickly, your majesty can't swim, save your majesty!"

Before Liu Erya could react, she was taken into the water by the emperor.

There was a mess by the lake, and everyone was startled by the sudden sound of falling water.No one noticed that the moment the emperor fell into the water, he paused for a moment on the lake.

The moonlight passed through the lake and reflected in the water, and the bottom of the lake was still bright and clear.The emperor casually looked at Liu Erya in the water, who was holding his breath and was a little uncomfortable. Only then did he realize that this was a beautiful man who was rarely seen in a century, and couldn't help but smile even more wickedly.

After a few plops of falling into the water, the emperor and Liu Erya were rescued one after another.

There are cicadas chirping in the forest, and the bright moon is still swaying in the unsettled lake.Several rounds of water splashing have extinguished the lanterns on the lake, overturning the little wishes carried by the lanterns.

The emperor was supported by Eunuch Yuchi and sat down in the pavilion by the lake, coughing repeatedly.In my twenties, but with a body in my forties, coughing like this is really worrying.

After the death of Princess Zhaokang, the emperor's health was really getting worse day by day.As soon as the imperial doctor heard that the emperor had fallen into the water, he hurried over in the middle of the night with a medicine box on his back, panting and knelt on the ground to feel the emperor's pulse.

At this time, Liu Erya spat a few mouthfuls of water and gradually woke up.In a daze, he had already been pressed to the ground by a group of eunuchs from the Jingshiyuan, unable to move.

After escaping, he was arrested and returned. I don't know if there is a chance to escape again.

Three or two eunuchs sat on Liu Erya's back, and he could hardly breathe. He could only hold his head and look at the gazebo three feet away, hoping to get some help.There was pleading in his clear eyes, how weak and pitiful he was in the moonlight.

Seeing that the man in the black robe was being supported and was about to leave, Liu Erya thought she was going to die, her red lips parted slightly, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

This person has never met me before, and I was thrown into the water by myself, and I can be forgiven for not giving a helping hand.

Everything is its own destiny.Sometimes, there are some things that really cannot be forced.

The evening wind blew petals of cherry blossoms from nowhere, and they floated all over the ground.The pink petals fell on the bluestone ground, blending with the moonlight, dyed by the moonlight, and seemed to be shining.The black boots stopped in front of the petals, and the emperor in a dark blue robe turned around and looked at Liu Erya for a moment.

Cherry blossoms flutter in the distance.This little beauty looks good, but I don't know where I have seen it.The emperor pointed at Liu Erya, and said, "Clean him up and bring him to Fuze Hall."

The eunuchs in the Jingshiyuan were preoccupied with the matter of cleansing themselves, and they didn't know what the emperor meant by "cleaning him up".Eunuch Yuchi next to the emperor woke him up and said, "Does Your Majesty want someone to take him to take a bath?"

The emperor stopped in his tracks without making a sound.

The eunuch in the Jingshiyuan thought that the emperor had given up on Liu Erya, and was about to tie him back, but heard a cold voice from ahead: "Wash it up, and carry it to my bed."

There was a glimmer of light in Liu Erya's eyes, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, she raised her head and smiled lightly, like a flower in bud.

The imperial doctor stumbled and almost fell.And that Concubine Du Shu, who was forgotten by everyone, just woke up, and was fainted by the emperor's words.
