1008 Afterstroke
Concubine De recalled the night conversation with Shi Jing three years ago, when the atmosphere of the words between the two was as tense as it is today, and it was very unharmonious-Uncle haha-However, Shi Jing at least gave her a more accurate time limit in that unpleasant 'exchange' conversation, but ...... What is today's 'exchange' talk?
Don't think about changing the time limit, she has been 'tricked' by him a few times, and it is difficult to vote for trust again.
Twelve years ago, on the way out of Kyoto with that little evil obstacle, Shi Jing had the opportunity to order Xue Zhong, who was going to see him off, to kill quickly.
If you do it at that time, not only can you easily solve two people at one time, but also kill people in the suburbs hundreds of miles away from Beijing, and when you 'make a deal' on the emperor's side, you only need to say that you were robbed and killed by mountain bandits, and you don't have to worry about leaving anything that will involve your own troubles - because in that year when the war 'chaos' stopped a little but the 'chaos' fire was not extinguished, the mountain bandits in the suburbs of Jianzhai were still very rampant.
But Shi Jing did not agree with her proposal, and explained that at least Lin Shan would have to wait for Lin Shan to 'hand' over the artwork before he could choose the opportunity.
Five years later, this opportunity finally came, Shi Jing managed to intercept the four seasons pigeon flying back to Kyoto from that remote mountain village halfway, one step ahead of the emperor, read the short message, and learned that Lin Shan's drawing had been drawn to the end and was about to be completed. At the same time, Shi Jing'an 'inserted' a certain person in the teaching of the masters in Lizheng Academy also began to prepare.
However, on the day when the artwork was completed, they learned that the artwork had been burned by the little impediment.
When the news was secretly sent back to Kyoto and reached the ears of the two of them, it was so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
And the person who 'inserted' in the Lizheng Academy got the news a little later, and he made a mistake in front of Lin Shan and 'revealed' his martial arts, and a few days later, this person chose a reason to leave the academy, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be used again in the future.
Faced with such a breakthrough, Concubine De, who was far away in Kyoto, could only choose to wait a few more years.
Maybe this can be regarded as an alternative "'fine' sincerity, gold and stone are open", another five years have passed, and Providence has once again given him the best opportunity to assassinate. Compared to the five years of waiting, it is worth it for this opportunity.
For some reason, Lin Shan actually came back with the little evil obstacle that had grown the shadow of the slut.
He didn't have to go this trip himself, maybe he also sent the 'door' himself to find death! After nearly ten years of operation, in Kyoto, where public security is the most thorough, if Shi Jing wants to kill someone, it is not too difficult to do it cleanly.
It turned out that Lin Shan didn't really bring a helper when he returned to Beijing, and a few days after he returned to the dilapidated courtyard, two men who looked like shadow guards appeared outside the courtyard. One of these two people looks very young, but they are also very strange, and the other is in his twenties, looking very down, but he can vaguely distinguish that he is one of the two groups of Shuangyan who have been missing for many years.
At this juncture, this lonely swallow suddenly jumped out, but Concubine De didn't dare to underestimate him, for fear that the killer she raised would not know how powerful this person was, and she had to be indignant and unwilling to recall all the killers who were ambushed outside the dilapidated yard for the time being.
However, although Providence has been tricked several times, it seems to be leaning on its side in the end.
After a few days of impatience, Concubine De received another piece of news that made her happy again. Lin Shan's refusal to contact the emperor after returning to Beijing was also fake, but his purpose in doing so was to poke Wandefu's hornet's nest for the emperor.
As soon as this honeycomb is pierced, the gong can be started, and there is no fear of making a loud noise.
Concubine De took all the information she had about Lin Shan in Beijing as a favor and gave it to the 'door' people who were sharpening their knives at the back of the Wan Defu family. Concubine De, who had done this, was still a little uneasy, so she moved out the group of killers she recalled a few days ago and mixed them with the group of killers who were ready to avenge Wan Defu and kill Lin Shan.
However, even in such a killing battle that was almost swept away, he still failed to give Lin Shan a fatal blow, and even the little evil obstacle that had no power to tie the 'chicken' did not lose a single hair.
This is all because Shi Jing withdrew his hand halfway again, not only did he withdraw the manpower he threw out on the spot, but also tore the killing net that the group of people from the Wanjia family had managed to weave with a rake.
Afterwards, he sued her to wait another three years.
Now that three years have passed, she finally found another opportunity to end the evil obstacle that she had lived comfortably in Beijing for three years. As for Lin Shan's side, although he didn't die three years ago, but after Qingxia's inquiry, he was sick for three years, and he still needed to stay in bed for most of the first two years to recuperate, so it was really not a worry for such a person who only had half a life left.
But now Shi Jing still wants to stop her!
How could she not be angry?!
Thinking back on the past of these several misses, Concubine De's unwillingness and annoyance suddenly 'surged', she suddenly snorted coldly, and did not follow Shi Jingdi's guidance, but said in another way: "Every time you want to stop me, you will make a reason, so I just want to know what the new reason you brought today!" ”
"There is no new reason." Shi Jing suddenly turned around, stared at Concubine De's eyes, and said word by word: "If you want me to give you a reason, then I can only repeat what I said to you three years ago." ”
When Concubine De heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and "giggle". She let out such a fragmentary laugh in such a posture that it looked like something neurotic to look at.
After such a toss, she has indeed been 'aroused' a little 'chaotic'.
After laughing a little wryfully for a while, Concubine De turned to look at Shi Jing and asked, "Tell me, what are you?" Do you think I'll still believe your rhetoric that dragged me on year after year? ”
"You'll believe it." Shi Jing, whose eyes were slightly drooping, raised his head with a deep groan, "Unless you don't want to live through this year." ”
A hint of awe-inspiring 'color' flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she didn't speak.
"If you don't want to admit it, then I'll do it for you and repeat it again." Shi Jing's deep 'groan' just now, obviously he had made a draft in his stomach, and now he first intercepted Concubine De's anger with an alarmist sentence, and then slowly said the prepared rhetoric, "Maybe you still don't know why Lin Shan took that 'girl' child back to Beijing three years ago. This matter is full of contradictory logic, and I also guessed and deliberated for a long time before I came up with a few assumptions.
First, he was ready to return the 'girl' child to His Majesty three years ago, but something went wrong with His Majesty's side;
Second, he knew that he would not be able to 'make a deal', and he still had to throw his hand and leave, that is, he might be confident enough that even if he was not in Kyoto and only left the 'girl' child, there would be no problems;
Thirdly, he had a reason to go around Kyoto before setting out, and on His Majesty's side, there was a mission that he had to lead and nothing could stop him, including the 'girl' child. So he left this burden in Kyoto, because without his care, the safest place in the world for that 'girl' child would be Kyoto, which was not ten miles away from his biological father. ”
After saying this long sentence, Concubine De's eyes were already 'clouded' with a layer of 'fog'-like complex feelings, and she seemed to want to use her own way of understanding to smooth out Shi Jing's words, but unexpectedly, her thoughts were 'chaotic'.
And this was only a slight pause when he said this, and Shi Jing quickly continued: "Regarding the first article, I haven't seen it through yet, but this is a choice that should have been opposed by Lin Shan, but in the end he still agreed, which can only show that this issue is probably related to state affairs." As for the latter two, they can be seen clearly at a glance, but they can only be seen clearly, and it is difficult to do more. Presumably you are already clear by now, although with my help, your people have infiltrated the interior of the Song Mansion, and this secret institution that His Majesty has been operating for several years is almost paralyzed, but you must not forget that His Majesty still has five small groups in his hands. You may not be able to fully master these five groups in your lifetime, and as long as these five groups are nailed to Kyoto, you will not have the opportunity to stir up too much water. Even if the inside of the Song Mansion is rotten, it will be cleaned and eliminated by five groups of people at most, and the rotten juice will not be allowed to overflow and pollute other places. ”
Concubine De quietly listened to Shi Jing say this, she suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "So, the shadow man who followed Qingxia is actually not your person?" ”
"What shadow man?" Shi Jing's eyes moved.
"According to the reply of the girl I sent to the Song Mansion to spread the news, the person who followed her was as fast as a shadow and as a charm, like a shadow reflected on the ground, almost unable to get rid of it, so the girl gave him a pronoun for a shadow man." Concubine De thought for a while and then added: "Qingxia said that the person directly 'revealed' his face to her, and I thought he was your person at first glance. ”
"There's no need for my guards to follow your people." Shi Jing shook his head slightly. However, when he heard Concubine De say this, he was also aroused by a hint of inquiry, so he asked again: "What does your person see what he looks like?" ”
Hearing Shi Jing ask about this, Concubine De's face suddenly piled up with doubts, and she shook her head slightly and said, "This is the strangest point." According to Qing Xia's reply, although this shadow man is not 'masked', he seems to be wearing a mask on one side of his face. The material of the mask looked real and fake on closer inspection, ugly than the disguise, but more conforming to the skin of the face than the mask. ”
"Oh......" Shi Jing tilted his head slightly, he really remembered, and said calmly: "He is the person in the fifth group, in fact, you have seen it a long time ago, but I don't know his identity." ”
Concubine De was stunned: "When have I ever seen this kind of person?" ”
There seems to be a general mask planted on his face, such a strange person, Concubine De doesn't believe that she will not leave an impression if she sees it. And if you think about it from another angle, I'm afraid she really doesn't have the opportunity to see such an ugly and weird face in the palace.
Shi Jing did not elaborate on this issue, he quickly turned his conversation back to the topic, and said at a slower pace: "In short, I came here today, and all I want to say to you is a few words. Stop immediately, if you still can't stop wanting to do it, then wait at least another six days, maybe a few days longer, the key to time is to see when Li Gai leaves Beijing. ”
"Ligai is leaving too?" Judging from Concubine De's expression when she spoke, it seemed as if she had heard the news for the first time.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to hide it from you." Shi Jing's gaze at Concubine De changed as quickly as he could not find traces, "As soon as Li Gai leaves, two of the five groups in his hand are likely to be 'handed over' to His Majesty, or replaced by someone to lead him." In any case, in the days before and after he left, the inherent pattern of the five groups will inevitably fluctuate, and that time is the best opportunity to skip the eyeliner of the five groups. ”
After a slight pause, he added: "Even if you don't say whether the five groups will make a mistake in the inside, just say that Li Gai will leave, which will weaken the strength of the five groups the most, and even His Majesty's side may be affected." ”
Thinking of her husband's safety, Concubine De couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Counting, this is the first time that Li Gai has been in Beijing with His Majesty for thirteen years, and he has made a mistake. After sighing, she looked at Shi Jing and asked, "Did you go to Qingchuan?" ”
"It doesn't seem like you're completely unaware." Regarding Concubine De's question, Shi Jing nodded slightly to express his certainty, and he quickly continued: "When the war over there is together, what happens in Kyoto again, as long as it is not directly related to His Majesty, then it is impossible for Lin Shan or Li Gai to withdraw halfway at this juncture." ”
"Are you sure?" was repeatedly tricked by Shi Jing, and Concubine De no longer fully believed what he said to him.
"Everything involving the military is irrevocable as soon as the order is issued, and in order to manage tens of thousands of soldiers, it is necessary to achieve discipline like iron and orders like a mountain. Once they have set out, it will be impossible to return halfway. Shi Jing said this slowly, and his tone gradually cleared up again, "But when they are about to set off before they leave, all the hidden guards in the capital are in the most sensitive stage, and it is best not to touch them at this time, otherwise in order to cut off the troubles, during this period, His Majesty will be more ruthless against a heresy."
You must know that you have waited for more than ten years for the opportunity to get rid of that person, but your Majesty's determination to fight Qingchuan has been in your heart since he was still in the north, and at this time, he is more urgent than you, so he must not allow the slightest interference. ”
Concubine De gradually truly realized what a bleak ending she might get if she made a rash move today and the matter was 'revealed'. She couldn't help but feel a sudden 'yin' chill on her back, and a cluster of extremely thin tentacles was growing upward, scraping her spine, making her shiver with a few 'desires'.
Maybe Wang Chinian will not punish her in the relationship with her Xiao Wanting husband and wife, but the result of squatting in the cold palace is certain. And if once she is imprisoned, she loses her status, and the killers she raised lose control, then all the things she has done before will probably be 'touched' by the members of the five groups soon.
If she got to that point, she didn't know if she was still qualified to live in the cold palace, but she might be thrown into the prison to be next to the rats - this was still a slightly better ending than the death of the wine.
Thinking of this, Concubine De had already clenched her teeth unconsciously, and she could even hear the sound of two rows of silver-like teeth polishing in her mouth.
Shi Jing looked at her frightened appearance, knowing that she had finally listened to his persuasion, and a stone hanging in her heart finally fell.
After a slight hesitation, Shi Jing softened his tone for the first time after saying so many words in this hall, and comforted Concubine De: "Don't worry too much, stopping at this time will not make Your Majesty suspicious of you." ”
Concubine De suddenly sighed and muttered: "Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Qing Xia, if she hadn't changed my order without authorization, my people would have sent it out now, and I wouldn't have been able to collect it carefully." ”
When she said this, the meaning of listening to the persuasion to stop was very clear.
Shi Jing saw that Concubine De's affairs had been completed, and he had a heavy official business, so he didn't have time to stay here longer, so he was ready to leave.
Before leaving, he remembered something again, stopped his footsteps and turned back and said: "The shadow man you mentioned, I will pay attention to it after I go back, there are my people in the Commander's Mansion, so you don't have to worry too much about this." But your girl named Qingxia, she has looked at the person head-on, so she hasn't been going out lately. For the people in the fifth group, sometimes there is no difference between being 'masked' and not being 'masked', and the same can be found out from the crowd. ”
After Shi Jing said this, he raised his hand and lifted the horned hat on the cloak, covered his head, covered half of his eyebrows and walked out.
The four people who came with the ten generals on this trip saw that the master came out, and they didn't need to be instructed, they immediately let go of the 'guard' of Concubine De who was clamped in their hands, and the four people followed behind Shi Jing in two groups, and the backs of the five people quickly disappeared outside the 'door'.
After they were all gone, Concubine De slowly walked out of the hall, looked at the direction of the five people leaving, and was faint for a while.
Watching the prime minister leave from afar, Qing Xia, the last 'female' servant who was waved away by Concubine De's side in the hall just now, was the first to approach at this time, and asked respectfully: "Master, what do you need to do with the 'female'?" ”
"No need." Concubine De opened her mouth lightly, her eyes swept over the few 'guards' who were standing a little crookedly in the front yard, and there were still two people who had fainted on the ground and had not woken up, her mind became a little impatient, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Qing Xia, who was standing on the side, hurriedly explained: "They just suffered some contusions, and the problem is not big. Xiangye's 'attendants' have already shown mercy to their subordinates, and their little bruises are not superficial and will not arouse suspicion. ”
Qingxia herself has good martial arts, and she is a confidant 'servant' and 'girl' that Concubine De trusts very much, after listening to her explanation, of course Concubine De will not question it, and she also saves an unspoken worry in her heart.
If these 'guards' were beaten and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they even saw blood, she really had a headache how to take them back to the palace.
"Let's ......go," Concubine De let out a sigh of relief, ready to end today's unpleasant trip outside the palace, and slowly instructed the 'female' servant Qing Xia beside her: "Call the 'waiter' guard chief to invite Mrs. Mu and prepare to return to the palace." But as soon as you got the word, come over and follow me and leave nothing else. ”
Qing Xia immediately agreed, bowed to Concubine De again, and then turned around and looked for the 'squire' guard who was guarding outside the courtyard. I don't know if the prime minister's 'attendant' didn't show mercy when he met with the 'attendant' guard commander who was guarding at the forefront, and beat him down solidly or what's the matter, from the prime minister's arrival here to his departure, the 'attendant' guard commander who has good martial arts has not been seen.
If you can't control it, you can only destroy it directly!
Qing Xia said silently in her heart: I only hope that the master's trip outside the palace will be smooth, so I hope he is fine.
————
A few years ago, when Li Gai was just working as a shadow guard for Wang Chi, the venue for his daily practice was set on the hill in the middle of the royal mausoleum. But from that time on, he had already realized that when he was practicing, the energy accumulated in the meridians of his body would often be a little uncontrollable 'exposed', shaking the circle of pine trees on the hill close to his practice, and often shaking into bare branches.
If he just practiced like this, for him, it would only be regarded as a slight movement of his neck bone, and of course it would be no obstacle to the stability of the buildings in the Commander's Mansion.
After several years of unremitting study, Li Gai has now mastered this momentum that is easy to get out of control, and has also summed up some of his own experiences. On a few occasions, he accompanied Wang Chi on his trips, and he was able to smash those arrows that were 'shot' from the dark corners of the 'yin' with his bare hands, relying on this strength.
But in the past few days, his way of practicing has suddenly changed, no longer picking 'flowers' and leaves, but adding a two-foot high Split Moon Halberd in his hand, roaring in the single courtyard in the east corner of the mansion.
Although he had moved out of the study, leaving the study full of case files undisturbed, the environment in the single courtyard in the east corner of the mansion had now become quite bad. The original tile must be bare now, but Li Gai has instructed that there is no need to repair these defects immediately, obviously it is repaired in vain, so don't 'waste' materials.
But at this moment, the guards who were guarding the periphery of this courtyard and extended a distance of ten meters all had another question in their hearts: If the commander practiced like this for a few more days, maybe it would be more than just tiles, and I was afraid that even the courtyard wall would not move and collapse.
Just when a few guards were holding on to the slightly trembling waist knife hilt and thinking this, a trumpet suddenly remembered on a sentry tower in the courtyard closest to this practice courtyard. After a while, the sound of the horn that sounded one breath at a time stopped completely, and the whistling sound of some kind of aura flying and colliding in the single courtyard also stopped, and Li Gai walked out of the courtyard.
When Li Gai was holding a heavy weapon to practice, it was almost impossible for anyone to get close, not because he was afraid of being disturbed, but because people with slightly weaker martial arts could hardly stand firm as long as they were close to him within ten steps. But from time to time, the Consul's Mansion always had affairs that he needed to read and make decisions, so there was such a way to deliver news since a few days ago.
A guard hurriedly walked over, took the ninety-pound Split Moon Halberd from Li Gai's hand, and carried it on his shoulder. On the way to the large council chamber in the middle of the Commander's Palace, another guard handed him a cotton handkerchief that had been moistened with warm water, and Li Gai took it and wiped his face.
As he threw the cotton handkerchief back into the guard's hands, Li Gai glanced at the guard carrying the halberd, and suddenly asked, "Are you on duty today?" ”
The guard hurriedly replied: "The guard seems to have a sudden illness today, and when he ate at noon, he fainted while eating, and he held on until the afternoon, and was finally reprimanded by the head of the palace to go home to rest." At that time, Lord Commander, you had already started to practice the halberd, so your subordinates failed to report in time. ”
After Rongshu was transferred back to Kyoto from the four groups of foreign branches due to illness, he first recuperated for more than half a year, and after the illness recovered, Rongshu took up his post from the guard group of the commander, mainly responsible for the 'servant' sword of Li Gai - which is equivalent to a weapon rack with 'legs' - although Li Gai basically doesn't use weapons at ordinary times, but he still has some face images of this new guard who has entered the Commander's Mansion, because he is inseparable and closer.
In fact, Li Gai also knew in his heart that although Rongshu's illness had recovered, his body had been weakened a lot because of this calamity, and he should have recuperated for another three months to recover his physical strength. Therefore, after listening to the explanation and advice of the halberd guard, he waved his hand lightly and said, "If you are sick, you need to rest, and the old butler is doing well, so let's send two more days of leave to Rongshu!" ”
The halberd guard hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”
Walking into the big council hall, Li Gai thought that the person waiting for him here was at least a presiding officer of the fifth rank or above, but he only saw a non-ranked, his subordinate Wu Shu, and he was a little surprised.
When a few 'guards' guarding the Great Council were sent outside, he asked directly: "What happened when you suddenly came here when you weren't on duty today?" ”
Wu Shu carefully told what happened to the Song Mansion.
After Wu Shu's words were finished, Li Gai snorted and said with a smile: "Knowing that I am about to leave Kyoto, I can't help but jump out of any cow, ghost, snake and god." After saying this, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Wu Shu: "Although you are about to be promoted to the head of the fourth group of Beijing departments, the affairs of the Song Mansion have to be entrusted to you to watch carefully in the past few days. ”
"Humble duty understands." Wu Shu bowed down to receive the order. After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord Commander, do you want to search for that 'masked' 'girl' in the whole city?" ”
"I know you have the ability to discern people, but ......," said Li Gai hesitantly, "if you are not completely sure that you will uproot it, you must not startle the snake." In short, if you have the opportunity to see this person again in the future, you will recognize her whether she is 'masked' or not, so you don't have to rush it. ”
Wu Shu bowed slightly, knowing that this was the strategy of "putting a long line to catch a big fish", but he was also afraid that if the line was too long, it would get out of control, so he groaned and said slowly: "If there is an accident in the Song Mansion, how should I deal with it?" Today, she was just chasing that 'girl', and she summoned more than a dozen killers to fight back in just a moment. It is impossible to estimate how many thieves there are in this group of thieves this time. ”
"I'm afraid you thought of what happened to the Lin family's old house three years ago." Thinking of this past incident, this catastrophe involved the personal safety of his righteous brother, Li Gai first sighed to himself. Looking at what is happening in front of you, if you do it again like you did three years ago, you may hurt more than one person. After pondering for a moment, Li Gai said slowly: "Although the Yulin Guards are all good hands, they are not familiar with you, so you can use my personal talisman to pick people among the 'attendants' of the Commander's Mansion." I will match you with a hundred people, and how to arrange them in the Song Mansion depends on your dispatch. ”
Wu Shu couldn't help but open his eyes slightly when he heard this, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. Without waiting for him to speak, he heard Li Gai say again: "The Song Mansion and the Lin family's old mansion are completely different in nature, if he had listened to my advice earlier and lived in the Song Mansion, maybe the ending of the incident three years ago would not have been so tragic." ”
Wu Shu understood what the people and things involved in Li Gai's words were referring to, and he lowered his head slightly, not knowing how to answer these words.
And Li Gai's side had already put away his thoughts, he glanced at Wu Shu, who was silent with his head bowed, and said indifferently: "What happened in the past, I can't say anything now, but things that have not happened in front of me may happen, so we should put more effort into managing it properly." If there's nothing to do, you can step down. ”
Wu Shu was about to say goodbye and retreat when he heard this, but he suddenly remembered about what happened in the Song Mansion today, and there seemed to be a small detail that he almost missed. After a little deliberation, he told Li Gai all these trivial suspicions.
After listening to Wu Shudi's narration, Li Gai's face suddenly became a little 'gloomy', and he said in a somewhat difficult tone: "You said that this 'girl' can avoid the courtyard of the Song Mansion and enter and exit freely in the house, that is, do you suspect that this 'girl' has an internal response in the house, and this internal response is likely to be the main thing in the house called Bai Tao?" ”
Wu Shu didn't feel that his inference was all falsehood, and it might be that the accuracy of 'sex' had yet to be verified, so he nodded calmly in the face of Li Gai, and added: "After being observed for a long time by a humble position, Bai Tao's 'female' martial arts skills are probably not lower than those of a humble position, and she has not been 'exposed' for many years, which is the most suspicious point." ”
Li Gai suddenly smiled, this smile was not 'revealed' for too long, and then he smiled and sighed: "But Bai Tao is clearly a person from His Majesty." ”
……
The new policy of Zhaoguo continued the three-character national spirit of "benevolence, filial piety, and courtesy" in the previous week, in fact, this should not be completely continuation, because these three things are in any era. All have the necessary 'nature' to continue. In short, although many good things have been chosen by the new king to inherit now, no matter what some people say about him, it seems a bit faceless.
In the harem, the observance and implementation of 'filial piety' are particularly prominent.
Available today. Wang Hong, the second prince who has always been going to Xiaohuai Palace on time to say good morning to Concubine De, was suddenly absent today. Although not long after the second prince disappeared, some palace people from Huayang Palace went to Xiaohuai Palace to deliver the news that the second prince was sick, Concubine De still went away in person without worry.
This is a retrograde between generations, although Concubine De used to be like a mother concubine when the second prince should have asked her to say goodbye, and went to visit the second prince in turn, but when Concubine De arrived at Huayang Palace, in addition to serving carefully, the palace people would still feel a trace of emotion in their hearts.
Of course, the feelings that can resonate with these outsiders. They must have been involved. I have to say. The friendship between Concubine De and the second prince who usually stays in the palace has diluted the distinction between many masters and slaves. Compared with those royal families who lived in the forbidden palace for decades in the previous dynasty and seemed to have no hobbies other than the body of a slave for fun, the new monarch and his family were indeed much friendlier. It makes them feel more 'excited' in their hearts.
When the capital was rebuilt, the new monarch gathered all the eunuch palace 'women' in the forbidden palace together and promised that those who were willing to go home would never be forced to stay, and would also give some entanglements to the people returning home. At that event, the palace people left a batch. The group that stayed behind were either homeless people who had been destroyed due to the war and had to sell themselves to the black market to take the opportunity to enter the palace 'gate', or they were older palace people who had lived in the palace for too long and had become out of touch with the lives of ordinary people. It's not that these people don't want to go home and live a poor but independent life, but they have no choice.
Such a group of people, if they live in an oppressive and painful environment as before, may easily become extremely emotional and do things against the Lord. But they are also poor people, and as long as someone can give them a little favor and forgiveness, most of the time, they will be able to respond to their needs. At the same time, the master who can bring them good 'sex' hope in life, they naturally hope that such a master can live well.
Just as Concubine De has always taught the two palace 'women' who are close to her: if there is resentment in the stomach, it is easy for the 'servant' master to be unsatisfied, on the contrary, it can be a pay, a lot of returns.
It is rare for a master to be generous, but a generous master does not necessarily have a generous servant. For the two 'women' of the close palace who sometimes speak on behalf of their own mouths, Concubine De has always been controlled by her own self-cultivation standards.
Not long after entering Huayang Palace, Concubine De got up and went back.
The second prince's physical weakness is not a matter of a day or two, and she can't help much if she stays here, and the palace people have to free up their hands to serve her, and the second prince can't rest well. She is not a doctor, she just came to see if the second prince's condition was strict, so as not to miss anything.
After returning to Xiaohuai Palace, Concubine De walked to a stone table in the courtyard, sat down on a rattan chair with soft silk 'hair' cushions, scooped up the table and didn't pick it up.
The palace 'girl' Cui 'Chun' came over with the freshly brewed 'flower' tea, and gently put down the teacup, she saw Concubine De looking at the half-finished embroidery in her hand and was slightly distracted, and after a little hesitation, she said: "Niangniang, are you still worried about the body of the Second Highness?" ”
Concubine De tilted her head, her eyes moved away from the embroidery in her hand, and fell on Cui 'Chun', but she didn't speak.
Cui 'Chun' was a little weak by her seeing it so much, so she hurriedly lowered her head, and when she spoke again, her voice was also a little lower: "Niangniang can actually be relieved, His Royal Highness has been recuperating well in recent years, and his body has become much stronger than before." ”
"Hmm." Concubine De nodded, put the embroidery in her hand on the stone table, and then said: "Cui 'Chun', you step back first, the palace is a little tired, and I want to be quiet for a while." ”
Cui 'Chun' hurriedly bowed his head and left lightly.
Not long after Cui 'Chun' left, Concubine De's other 'woman' from the close palace Qing Xia walked in from outside the Xiaohuai Palace.
