Chapter 17: Huo Chen

Huo Chen is the overseer of His Majesty's personal title, in charge of the edict, and his status is extremely noble, even if the lady in the palace sees it, she has to call Master Huo.

Outsiders were amazed, and felt that Huo Chen was so lucky that he was able to climb from a small eunuch to the position of the overseer, but only Huo Chen himself knew how many people he killed and how many bones he stepped on in order to sit in this position.

In the middle of the night, Huo Chen often dreamed of people who died tragically in the edict prison, and after waking up, he had no sleep. But Huo Chen has no regrets, he can only protect the people he wants to protect if he reaches the peak of power.

Zhao Xiyue's marriage discussion, Huo Chen already knew.

Although he was assigned by His Majesty to investigate the floods in the Yellow River, his eyeliner was everywhere in the palace, and if something happened, he would send a book to him.

Especially about the Nine Princesses.

Huo Chen's subordinates all knew how much he cared about the Ninth Princess, as long as it was the matter of the Ninth Princess, no matter how big or small, he had to tell them one by one. What the ninth princess has today's appetite, what her mood is, and what she has done, someone will record it and pass it on to Huo Chen.

When he received the news of the meeting, Huo Chen was discussing with several adults. The little guy took the letterhead, Huo Chen glanced at it lightly, and his face became gloomy.

Several adults were so frightened that their faces turned white, thinking that they had found out what they had, and they all knew Huo Chen's title of the living king of Hades, for fear that this overseer would be dissatisfied and arrest them in prison.

Huo Chen put down the letterhead, raised his eyes and looked at a few people coldly, and said coldly, "I want to return to Beijing within three days, if you can't think of a way to completely solve the flood, don't blame Huo for being ruthless." ”

Several people said tremblingly, "Yes." ”

"Someone, send a few adults. ”

After the men left, the room was quiet for a moment. Huo Chen buckled the table with his fingers slightly, and immediately someone came in and said respectfully, "My lord." ”

"Who is this Xu Ling. ”

"It was last year's Tanhualang, and now it's the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. His father was Xu Xiang. ”

Huo Chen lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was slightly cold.

"Let's break his leg first. ”

"Yes. ”

"By the way, how's it going?"

"The villain has collected a lot of new things, and has packed two boxes of them, which the princess will surely enjoy. ”

Huo Chen let out a faint "um", paused, got up and walked out again, "That's it, I'll pick it myself." If you pick something she doesn't like, you'll have a tantrum with me again. ”

The entourage was slightly stunned.

In this world, the only one who can put Huo Chen on the tip of his heart is this ninth princess.

If you talk about Zhao Xiyue and Huo Chen, you have to start with Zhao Xiyue when she was a child. Zhao Xiyue's biological mother died early when she was a child, she has always been raised under the knees of Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen has a gentle personality, and she is also used to Zhao Xiyue, so she has developed Zhao Xiyue's lawless temperament.

Zhao Xiyue is a pampered princess, and her status as a gold and jade is compared with Zhao Xiyue. Huo Chen was more like a dead branch and rotten leaf that had been stepped into the mud.

He fled from the famine, was sold to the palace by his teeth, and became a little eunuch. Because I am too poor, I don't have the opportunity to work up and down, and I have always done the hardest and most tiring work.

The first time I met Zhao Xiyue was her ninth birthday. He was sent over to deliver new gadgets to the Ninth Princess. A long line of people lined up all the way to the gate of the palace.

Huo Chen had just entered the palace at that time, and he didn't know the rules very well, so he stood at the end of the tail and tilted his neck to look secretly. Just as Zhao Xiyue ran out of the hall, she wore a delicate pink skirt to look even more fair-skinned and petite, she held a bell bracelet in her hand, and said something to the palace people next to her with a smile.

The sound of the bell rattled, and it was already noisy when it reached Huo Chen's ears. In the years that he has been in for more than ten years, there is nothing but gloom and scolding. He had never seen such a bright smile.

If you don't pay attention for a while, you will be stunned.

The little eunuchs who walked for a long time all bent down and bowed their heads, but he was the only one with his head up, still staring at Zhao Xiyue, isn't it eye-catching

Zhao Xiyue raised her eyebrows, pointed at Huo Chen and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look, Your Highness... Pretty. Huo Chen's tongue seemed to be dead, and the words came out without thinking.

As soon as he spoke, he was stirred up in a cold sweat. Huo Chen's heart trembled, thinking that he was going to die this time. Which Cheng thought about Zhao Xiyue but laughed sneeringly.

"This little eunuch is fun, so stay with me. As he spoke, he asked, "What's your name?"

"Minion Huo Chen. ”

Many years later, Huo Chen will still remember that day, the sun was shining, and Zhao Xiyue bent his eyes and smiled at him, like a beam of light, shining on the tip of his heart.

Since that day, Huo Chen was transferred to his side by Zhao Xiyue as a personal eunuch.

It's also strange that although Zhao Xiyue has a bad temper, she is good to Huo Chen, and any delicious and fun will be given to Huo Chen. At that time, if the ninth princess lost her temper, no one dared to persuade her, and only Huo Chen dared.

The accident happened when the Ninth Princess was twelve years old.

Concubine Chen died of illness.

The ninth princess cried and fainted twice.

But Huo Chen didn't stay by her side.

The emperor newly established the edict prison and selected a suitable little eunuch to be a jailer in the palace, and Huo Chen also went.

On the day she left, the Ninth Princess stood under the porch, and the sadness of many days made her lose weight, light, as if a gust of wind would blow away.

She looked at Huo Chen from afar, her voice slightly cold.

"Without Concubine Chen's care, my life in the palace in the future will be extremely difficult, you left because of this, right. ”

Huo Chen didn't speak, his eyes flashed over her, and the depths of his eyes seemed to spin a little, and then sank again.

"Good. Zhao Xiyue sneered, "Just when I fed a white-eyed wolf." In the future, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return, I wish you to rise step by step, and make steady progress!"

Huo Chen lifted his robe and knelt down, and kowtowed in the direction of Zhao Xiyue.

Zhao Xiyue didn't look back, turned around and went back to the house.

Since then, it has been almost a year, and Zhao Xiyue has not seen Huo Chen.

It is indeed as Zhao Xiyue said, Concubine Chen went, and Zhao Xiyue was lonely and miserable in this palace city, and she had a difficult life. In winter, there are not even enough charcoal fires, if it weren't for Shen Chuchu to bring his own carbon to help, I'm afraid that Zhao Xiyue would become the first princess to be frozen to death since the founding of the country.

On the day of the winter solstice, I don't know what went crazy in the Internal Affairs Pavilion, and the chief eunuch personally sent over all the things that have been deducted over the years, and nodded to Zhao Xiyue again.

Back in the Internal Affairs Pavilion, the room was quiet, and the chief eunuch knelt down with a weak leg, "Master Huo, the matter has been done." ”

Huo Chen, dressed in a dark purple official robe, sat on the chair a little lazily, casually turned the jade jade wrench, and said lightly, "A person I put on the tip of my heart has been ruined by you for so long, how can this account be calculated?"

The chief eunuch kowtowed desperately, "You forgive your sins, you forgive your sins." ”

Huo Chen's eyes were dark, and there was a slight coldness in the depths of his eyes, "In the future, the things in this palace, except for the emperor and queen, the rest will be sent to the ninth princess first." ”

"The minions understand. ”

Huo Chen got up, walked to the chief eunuch, and paused slightly, "In the future, everything she wants will have to be given to her, if you don't have it here, go find me." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Huo Chen nodded and walked out of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.

It was snowing outside, and there were two little eunuchs waiting at the door, and when they saw him come out, one put a big coat on him, and the other held an umbrella for him.

Huo Chen raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Bangyue Tower.

He missed her so much, thought of tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep at night.

It's terrible that she is still angry, and she doesn't dare to step into the Bangyue Tower, only occasionally seeing her through the shadow of the green trees.

If she can be allowed to live recklessly in this palace, Huo Chen feels that it is worth it no matter how much suffering she endures.
