The Huanyi Bureau is the only eunuch institution that serves the palace but is not in the palace, and is generally filled by the old and guilty palace people, and many of the palace people who have settled here are also palace people who have no hope of recovery, compared to other departments, this is a "cold palace".

Occasionally, someone will be specially sent here to be tortured, bringing a rare hustle and bustle.

"You can all see clearly, this is the end of failing the emperor's grace!"

There was a eunuch who was placed on a spring bench to be tortured, and a wooden staff with a thick wrist was beaten down one by one, and the red on it was not known how much was blood or how much was lacquer.

A group of palace people around were watching, some gray hair trembled slightly in the cold wind, and those who couldn't bear to look at it squinted, but they didn't dare to dodge, this is a warning, an instruction, and they have to see it.

The sound of the wooden staff hitting the flesh was a little dull, and as the number increased, a sound similar to that of water could be heard, which was the blood in the body.

The little eunuch stood at the foot of the steps, his shoulders shrunk and watched, he didn't dare to look, every time the wooden staff fell, he unconsciously closed his eyes with the sound, but he opened them quickly, for fear of being caught and punished, for fear that he would be the next to be beaten.

A hand came from behind and covered his eyes gently, and the little eunuch knew who it was, and quickly became a quail, and shrank back, like a chick shrunk under the wings of a hen, and had a justifiable reason not to watch.

The person on the spring bench was silent, his mouth was gagged, and so, until the person died, and the fight was over, it was silent.

There is great terror in the silence.

Especially when the wooden staff stopped, all of them could hear each other's breathing, and they could also feel the silent life on the spring bench, he was dead.

"Alright, let's get busy. ”

The palmprint eunuch standing on the steps coughed lightly, his age was not young, and he didn't know how many figures he could see in his cloudy eyes, and there was a unique coldness in his eyes, and no one dared to explore the emotions in his eyes.

The people around gradually dispersed, and there were still people who went to clean up the person on the spring bench, and the trailing blood trail pulled a track on the ground that made people retreat.

The little eunuch turned his head, his face had a scar that spread half of his face, pitted, red and white, it was a trace after being burned by fire, such a person could not enter the palace to serve, if he frightened the master, it was a sin.

Therefore, he was obviously young, and he was banished to the Huanyi Bureau outside the palace, where as long as there is a pair of hands, no one cares about his face.

"Why did you get here, you don't care about this side of things. ”

The person who pulled the little eunuch was carrying his back, his hair was gray, one eye was always rolling, and he couldn't see it with that eye.

"I heard them say that they want to go over to watch the execution, and they say that they want to go over, I, don't I have to go?" The little eunuch was not more than fifteen years old, and he was burned on the face not long after entering the palace, and he was lucky to survive, and he was moved here before he woke up, if it wasn't...

"As I said earlier, the people in our courtyard don't need to pay attention to those, as long as they serve the ancestors well, and the things next to them are not related to us. ”

There are not many scars on the hands of the two, the Huanyi Bureau washes clothes all the year round, it is okay in the summer, but it is easy to leave chilblains in the winter, rotten and wounded, good and rotten, all year round, the hands are simply unseeable.

The two of them not only did not rot their hands, but also had the cocoons left by the practice of martial arts, the one on the hunchbacked hand had the thickest cocoon, and the thick iron palm naturally had a hot heat, which made the little eunuch feel at ease.

"Oh. The little eunuch nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, he came out after not long after entering the palace, but the rules were still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he was an honest child, obedient and sensible, and he didn't ask again obediently.

The old man took the little eunuch back to a remote courtyard, which was far away from the palace, and the place left for them to live was larger, especially this courtyard, although the place was a little farther away, but the place was sufficient.

Half of the courtyard was made into a martial arts training ground, and there were not many cumbersome weapons to place, just a flat yard, a few heavy stone locks, and a few wooden sticks standing aside.

Along the stone road in the middle, the two walked to the door of the main house and stood still, and the little eunuch followed the old man to the closed door, and the old man said, "Ancestor, the people have been brought back." ”

"Alright, let's get busy when it's okay. ”

The voice coming out of it was not old, it sounded like a young man, and it was a nice voice, not like the usual Huanyi Bureau.

The little eunuch poked his head curiously, and was pressed down by the old man, the two took a few steps back, and the old man saluted respectfully again, and then took the little eunuch to the side of the room.

In this yard, the two of them don't do too much, cleaning the yard, cooking, of course, they can not do it, and it is okay to go to the big kitchen outside to get it, compared to the other people in the Huanyi Bureau who are bound by the laundry pool, they are already much happier.

The daily usage is good, and the little eunuch has been puzzled since he came here.

Why is the ancestor so pure here?

What kind of person is the ancestor?

After coming for many days, he heard that he was saved by the old ancestor, but he didn't see the old ancestor once, he always seemed to be in that room, and that room, only the old man could enter.

This question was not discovered until many years later, after the old man died.

The first time he entered that room, when he saw the "Old Ancestor", he was already in his twenties, and the Old Ancestor on the other side was only in his twenties, incredibly young.

He still remembered that the old man had said to him that this old ancestor had been served by the old man for more than 30 years, and the age when he came, even if he was a child, how could he be so young?

"Is it you?"

The old ancestor asked like this, and seemed to be a little emotional.

"Yes. He responded, and he didn't know what to say in shock, how did the old man die yesterday, or how far he practiced martial arts now?

The old ancestor stood up, his tall figure was still in a young state, and rarely, he pushed open the window and looked at the sky outside, "Has it been so many years?"

How many years?

He didn't understand a little, but the meaning of the emotion could still be felt, and he didn't know whether to respond or not, so he was a little hesitant, and he heard the other party say: "You can live a good life in the future." ”

"Yes. ”

He responded, retreated, and when he closed the door, he thought, what does it mean to just take care of yourself, don't you have to deliver food every day?

The next day, when he went to deliver food again, he knocked on the door a few times and no one answered, listened carefully, pushed the door open, and there was no one inside.

Only then did he take a closer look at the room, and the layout was very simple, so simple that it was unpopular, a table, a chair, a bed, and a cabinet on the side, and there were almost no things on the side.

It looks like a snow cave, and it doesn't even look like a room that someone has lived in.

He took home that day's meal and ate it himself.

In the next few days, he would go to that room every day to take a look, and when he saw a layer of visible dust on the table, he knew that the old ancestor should not come back.

At this time, he had the courage to check everything in this room, and the curiosity that had been suppressed for many years made him like a child, turning over the things in this room little by little, tables, chairs and beds, there was nothing to turn over, the only thing that made people curious was the wardrobe.

He opened it and saw that many of the clothes inside were old, but he could still see the delicacy from the embroidery on them, he had been in the palace, and remembered the prosperous places in the palace, and from these old clothes, he seemed to be able to see the prosperous corner of the palace.

What comes to mind is what the old man once said, the origin of the ancestors, that is to look at the people born today, I don't know how to come here, I have been unknown for many years, but the martial arts, but people feel the extraordinaryness of the other party.

I guess I had an extraordinary experience.

In the palace, it has not changed for decades, strolling through the gap of time, looking at all kinds of familiar and unfamiliar scenery inside, looking at the aging emperor and his young concubines, watching his sons and daughters have their own thoughts, and the plot of the palace fight seems to have not changed every year.

Without 9,000 years old, this long live seems to be doing well!

The son of Concubine Zhao, who was killed by the original owner, has now become the son of Shengming, not to mention how wise he is in power, at least not to make the people unhappy, this is an ordinary feudal emperor, maybe someone praises his way of governing the world after a thousand years, maybe some people deny his hard work, and the praise and disapproval in the history books do not have much meaning now.

Leaving a legend of Zhao Guifei has passed away, in the name of the Empress Dowager Ci'an alone buried in the mausoleum, it also caused an uproar that year, I don't know how many people discussed it as "indecent", but in the Empress Dowager's will and the emperor's filial piety insisted on becoming a fact.

Many old things passed by in front of him, and the next moment, Li Jingchun, who was in the imperial garden, saw Concubine Zhao when she became the queen mother, the other party's hair was already half silver, and the skin on her face was also aging because of time, sagging, spots, there are always things that make women feel irritable when they look in the mirror.

However, in the imperial garden, she had a smile on her face, looking at the prince and princess running in front of her, her eyes were full of tenderness.

The surrounding concubines flattered her, that is, the queen, and also took off the majestic shell, showing a childlike smile in front of her to please her, the glory of her life, nothing more than this, but, her smile, after leaving those children, was tired.

"My life is glorious enough. ”

At the last moment of her life, she still had to look at the scenery of the Imperial Garden, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of seeing here." ”

When she was young, she wanted to see it, but she couldn't always follow her heart, it was a matter of meeting anyone, and she couldn't enjoy these scenery quietly, and when she could enjoy it as she pleased, she had lost the mood of her youth.

At a certain moment, Li Jingchun seemed to be able to sense the unfinished words in the other party's heart.

Time flies, the picture in front of him is like a warp and weft torn, Li Jingchun smiled lightly, yes, I'm tired of seeing it, in the blink of an eye, my body is broken into dust like a picture, decomposing into sand in time, and disappearing.

Happy salted fish, salted fish watching the play.

As for killing the Quartet, can it be more powerful than the original owner of a eunuch as the emperor?
