Chapter 216: The Last Entrustment for Xiao Shunzi
In fact, I should have expected that Yinzhen would not be able to put a person like Xiaoshunzi by my side all the time, from the time I knew that Xiaoshunzi would have a background in martial arts, I had guessed what reason Yinzhen would have such an arrangement at that time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After all, when I first entered the mansion, I was just the daughter of an ordinary official beside him, and I was not of high origin, and like all the women of small families, there was nothing worthy of him arranging such a person to watch or protect.
I never took the initiative to ask Yinzhen the reason for this arrangement, at first I felt that Yinzhen had his own reason, the less I knew, the easier it was to get out, and then I had a good relationship with Yinzhen, and I felt that exploring more of these would cause suspicion, and then too many things happened, I don't know when it started, there were fewer and fewer people around me who could be trusted, and only Xiaoshunzi was left. In that step-by-step environment, instinctively rely on people who know the roots and make people feel at ease, especially Xiao Shunzi's maintenance and unconditional obedience to all my arrangements, which make me feel an indescribable sense of security, and I will always automatically ignore his identity as an internal servant when I get along, and seek a kind of steadfastness from him like being protected by my family and brothers. In this way, I was even more reluctant to explore the reason why he came to me in the first place, because I was subconsciously afraid, afraid that if I did, I would let him go.
However, what should have happened still happened, whether it is the eyeliner hidden piles that Xiao Shunzi and I have buried everywhere over the years, or the good Xiao Shunzi itself, it is not something that a woman in the palace should have, which will make Yinzhen, who has an unstable foothold, feel unsteady. He didn't want to face so many enemies and opponents all the time, and he had to worry about the danger behind him in this perch that could give him a moment of respite. For him, after all, I just need to be a woman who stays quietly by his side, and I don't trust him to the point of leaving my back to the other person.
However, from Yinzhen's words, we can know that this is not the reason why he has to transfer Xiao Shunzi away from me now, there must be something else that I don't know. He said that there was a word coming out behind his back, so what were the words, who came out of them, and what was the purpose.
I looked at Xiao Shunzi standing quietly in the courtyard, and all the emotions brought about by the shock and grievance before were quickly calmed down in a quick turn of thought. The tenacity of the temperament that has been honed over the years is incomparable, and as a person who can cruelly use himself and his unborn children as tools to destroy others, his heart is enough to calm down to the point of coldness. Trying to survive in the cracks, there is not much time to grieve and sorrow, and no one cares about those tears that can only express cowardice, this is just a waste of time, and what I lack most now is time.
Su Peisheng will inevitably lead the person who replaced Xiao Shunzi over early tomorrow morning, and there are still many things between me and Xiao Shunzi that must be arranged and explained this night.
"You come in, I have something to tell you. I took a deep breath to suppress the emotions in my heart, turned and sat down.
Junko followed, turned and closed the door, and then walked up to me in silence as usual.
"What's going on in the womb these days, why didn't you tell me?" I stared at him, and his tone was calm and light, without a hint of waves, as if those emotions had never appeared before.
Xiao Shunzi's lips moved slightly, and she stopped talking, and finally closed her eyes to silence, avoiding my direct gaze, and the atmosphere was deadlocked for a while.
Not allowing this stalemate to continue, I withdrew my gaze, avoided the question for a moment, gathered my thoughts, and asked instead, "Where will you go if you leave me?" He said that I was a little worried about other arrangements for you. ”
Xiao Shunzi was obviously relieved to see that I didn't continue to ask about the words spread outside, and responded: "It should be back to the sticky pole, as for how to arrange it in the future, I don't know yet, but the emperor will not embarrass the slaves, and the master doesn't have to worry." However, the master's side is afraid that it will be much more difficult for himself in the future. ”
"The rarest days have passed, and now it's not difficult, but there are no people around me who can talk, and it will be much more deserted in the future. I smiled lonely and laughed at myself: "In fact, if it weren't for you all these years, there would be no current me, and who knows what will happen in the future." But it's not necessarily a good thing that you can get out of the palace now, but I don't know if you're still willing to help me. ”
As soon as my words fell, Xiao Shunzi bent his knees and kowtowed, and solemnly responded: "No matter where you are, what you do, the slave is still the master's slave, the master has something to order, and the slave must serve his life." ”
I got up and helped him up, looked up into Xiao Shunzi's eyes, and smiled helplessly: "The only thing I can do for you is what I said tonight, and when you leave, it will not be easy to see you again, but no one can help me except you for these things." Thank you for now. ”
After saying this, I bowed down sincerely and was hurriedly supported by him.
"Since you promised, then no matter what I say now, you don't have to ask why, just remember it in your heart, and then help me do it. "I didn't say anything more to him.
He took out the small fleur-de-lis jade plaque and a bamboo pipe from his body and handed it to him, saying, "You should know what these two things are." The same piece of jade pendant was sent to the Ninth Master, and this is a pair, this is the token I mentioned to the Ninth Master in Biyun Temple. How deep is the relationship between me and the ninth master, in fact, you know best in your heart, with the emperor's temperament, he may still care about the fourteenth master, but he will definitely not let go of the eighth and ninth masters, and now he has not moved, but the time is not right. The eighth master has nothing to do with me, and I won't interfere, but the ninth master has always been deeply affectionate to me, and I can't see death without help. ”
At this point, I paused, pondered for a moment and continued: "Actually, I can guess what tasks you will be assigned after you leave me, I'm afraid it will not be a clean job. But that's fine, you can do it easily, and it won't get you into any trouble. Do you understand what I need you to do for me?"
From beginning to end, I didn't directly say what I needed to do, but when I saw those two things, how could people who have been with me for 20 years not know how to do it. The jade pendant is a token, which is to make Yinyu believe and cooperate, and the bamboo tube contains the tetrodotoxin that made Chun'er fake death and leave the house back then. Xiao Shunzi is a careful person, he knows the usage and dosage, I am relieved that he will do it, as for when to do this and how to logically create the illusion of Yinyu's fake death and let him get out successfully, this does not need me to arrange, Xiao Shunzi will naturally have his way.
Xiao Shunzi took the thing and put it in his arms, without asking why, nor when to do it, such a tacit understanding has long existed between each other.
