I was persuaded to break up every day [Sword Three + Seven Five]

In order to avoid attracting attention, Chao Mahan came in through the back door of Kaifeng mansion, which happened to be staggered from the Eight Sage Kings, but because the Eight Sage Kings came in and out at the front door, almost no one noticed any movement at the back door.When Zhan Zhao and the others arrived, they had just had a cup of hot tea.

"Chao Mahan, thank you for your hard work." Zhan Zhao came in and saw that the two of them didn't seem to have any injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

The two clasped their fists together: "It's nothing, thank you Mr. Zhan for your concern."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Did you encounter any risks during this trip?"

The two looked at each other, Wang Chao hesitated and said: "Speaking of risks...it's really not. But there are some strange things."

"Strange place?" Mu Qiao repeated curiously, "What place?"

"Probably the old man's residence." An old and strange voice replied.

It was only then that Zhan Zhao and Mu Qiao noticed that behind Wang Chao Ma Han stood a kind-looking old man with gray hair, but his face was smooth and clean without a trace of beard.Mu Qiao knew that nowadays, most men regard long beards as beautiful, even if they don't grow long, they will probably grow a little bit, and their faces are rarely clean, especially for the elderly, almost everyone has a big beard.But the one in front of him was not, which made Mu Qiao very curious.

This is the Chen Lin and Eunuch Chen?

Sure enough, after the old man spoke, Bao Zheng said: "You two have met Eunuch Chen soon. After the emperor entered the palace, he was brought up by Eunuch Chen."

Without any hesitation, the two greeted immediately: "Greetings, Eunuch Chen!"

Chen Lin raised his hand with a smile: "Our family has retired and returned home. It's not a father-in-law, but an ordinary old man. I don't know why Master Bao sent two school captains, Chao Ma and Han, to find our family. ?”

Bao Zheng said: "My father-in-law is too modest. If he hadn't taken good care of him back then, the emperor would not have grown up healthily. However, if Bao Zheng didn't have important matters, he wouldn't dare disturb his peace."

Chen Lindao: "Your Majesty Bao is the pillar of the country, if there is anything that is useful to our family, just say it, there is no need to be so polite."

Bao Zheng nodded: "Bao Zheng invited Eunuch Chen here to let you meet someone. Guard Zhan, Mu Qiao, you two go and invite the old lady here again." As soon as the eight virtuous kings left, Bao Zheng sent People sent Queen Mother Li back, and now they have to invite her again.

After hearing this, Gongsun Ce said: "My lord, just now it is justifiable for the Eight Worthy King to ask the old madam for forgiveness, will now..."

Bao Zheng patted his forehead: "It's my house's negligence. I'm sorry, Eunuch Chen, can I trouble you to come with me again?"

Chen Lin nodded: "No problem. But can our family ask the adults, who do you want our family to meet?"

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, and said: "A father-in-law who has been away for more than ten years, an old man in the palace."

Chen Lin smiled and said: "Hey, how many years have we been away from our family, what old friend..." He suddenly lost his voice, his eyes widened, and his wrinkled hands trembled, "Is it... a man and a woman?"

Seeing this, Bao Zheng reckoned that he was about to guess, and said, "Woman."

Chen Lin became excited: "Hurry up, take our family to see her, hurry up and take our family to see her!"

Bao Zheng smiled helplessly: "Eunuch Chen, don't worry, the old lady is in the Kaifeng mansion, and she won't go anywhere."

Chen Lindao: "I haven't seen her for too many years, my family...Master Bao, let's take our family to meet her."

Bao Zheng said: "My father-in-law just stay with me."

A group of people went to the Empress Dowager Li's room in the name of visiting Mu Qiao's mother. After letting the serving maids leave, Chen Lin knelt down with a "plop": "Slave Chen Lin, please see the Empress Dowager! Thousands of years old!"

Empress Dowager Li was surprised when she saw Chen Lin and didn't respond. After a long while, she started to help Chen Lin with trembling hands: "Eunuch Chen, please hurry up. If it wasn't for you... the Ai family would have died of hatred."

Chen Lin followed Empress Dowager Li's strength and stood up, twisting his sleeves and wiping the corners of his eyes with tears from excitement, he said: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, the servants have nothing to offer, they just did their duty."

Empress Dowager Li said: "Eunuch Chen doesn't have to be like this, you, Qin Feng, Yu Zhong, Kou Zhu... what you have done for the Ai family, the Ai family will remember, always remember..."

Mentioning these people, Chen Lin's eyes turned red again: "These people... now only old slaves are left." These words were somewhat desolate.

Empress Dowager Li was taken aback: "That kid Kou Zhu..."

Yu Feng died in place of Queen Mother Li, and Qin Feng died of illness in the harem.The Empress Dowager Li knew all this, but the girl Kou Zhu didn't have any news, why did she die?

Chen Lin was silent for a moment, and said: "Kou Zhu had already concealed from Empress Dowager Liu that she did not kill the prince and handed it over to me to take him out of the palace. After being tortured and abused in every possible way, Kou Zhu couldn't stand the humiliation...he hit a pillar and died."

Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth to say something, but the tears were already streaming down like broken beads, and she couldn't stop.

Upon hearing this, Bao Zheng commented: "Daughter of loyalty!"

Chen Lin nodded, and said: "Master Bao may not know, our family has limited things to do in this matter. If it wasn't for Kou Zhu, the emperor might have died more than 20 years ago."

Bao Zheng was very emotional when he heard the words: "The empress dowager once said that although this girl is humble, she has a loyal heart, and she can really learn from the sun and the moon!"

Chen Lindao: "That's right. Although Kou Zhu is a woman, many men can't match her flexible and loyal temperament! Later I went to see Kou Zhu's body, it was just..." Chen Lin suddenly lost his voice.The situation was so miserable that he couldn't bear to recall it.

Gongsun Ce interrupted the topic suddenly, and asked, "Eunuch Chen, that Kou Zhu...was tortured and killed by Empress Dowager Liu?"

Chen Lin was a little surprised what he asked this for, and said: "It should be. After the empress met the prince, the mother and child were natural, and the prince went back with tears. Afterwards, Kou Zhu came to me once. At that time, she was already covered in bruises. She told me that Empress Dowager Liu, who was still a queen at the time, became suspicious of her when she saw the appearance of the prince, and kept asking her where the prince's body was. She said it was there, but Empress Dowager Liu didn't believe it, so she ordered Guo Huai to punish Kou Zhu. Zhu came to me, first to remind me that Empress Dowager Liu was suspicious, and second, to ask me if there was any way to rescue her, but..." Chen Lin choked up again at this point.

A court lady who is being watched by the queen, Chen Lin is just a chief eunuch, how can he save her?In the end, Kou Zhu died tragically, and his body was lying in the pond in the imperial garden. Chen Lin went to see it, and he could hardly see the original state, which was too horrible to look at.

Gongsun Ce said in a low voice: "Guo Huai..."

Bao Zheng turned his head and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, what good plan did you have?"

Gongsun Ce said: "Oh, I just have an idea, whether it is a good plan or not, I still need to be determined by adults."

Bao Zheng still had great trust in Gongsun Ce's wisdom, and immediately said: "Mr. Gongsun, but it's okay to say."
