Chapter 666: Vegetable Household
"Don't bother." Seeing An'er, Imperial Physician Liu suddenly remembered something and said, "I don't know how Miss Mo'er is?" "At the beginning of the Kunning Palace, Mo Er was taken to the Shen Criminal Division to have something to do with him.
"Thank you Imperial Doctor Liu for your concern, everything is fine with Mo'er, and there will be nothing to do in a few days of recuperation." As soon as Shui Xiu's voice fell, he heard movement on the side, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Mo Er was about to go out despite Sixi's obstruction.
"Mo'er, where are you going if you don't lie down?" Seeing Shui Xiu coming, Mo Er bit her lip that was still a little pale and didn't speak, but Sixi next to her sighed and said: "She said that she was going to Yikun Palace to find Zhilan and ask for clarification, Miss Shui Xiu, you should persuade her quickly." ”
Sixi took advantage of his free time today to come and see Mo'er's situation, who knew that as soon as he came over, he was pulled by Mo'er to go to Yikun Palace to find Zhilan, and he didn't listen to any persuasion.
Shui Xiu was silent for a while and said something that surprised Sixi, "That's it, let her go, I know very well that her xingzi is stubborn and persistent, and she won't give up if she doesn't ask Zhilan to understand." Speaking of this, she took Mo Er's hand again and said, "But you remember, no matter what Zhilan does, she has nothing to do with you, your family is here, in Chengqian Palace." ”
Mo Er said movingly: "Yes, I know the way, Aunt Xie Xie." ”
Sixi shook his head and said, "That's it, that's it, while there's nothing to do, let's go with you." ”
Mo Er nodded, and Sixi helped her slowly walk towards Yikun Palace. Today's Yikun Palace is no longer the situation of the previous city, it is deserted, only the palace people in charge of guarding it stand in the shadows, it is obviously the height of summer, but this place is full of the bleak meaning that only autumn has.
Because the Nian clan was demoted to a permanent presence, there was no need for so many people to wait, so most of the palace people in Yikun Palace were sent elsewhere, leaving only a few people.
Yinzhen just imprisoned the Nian family, and did not allow others to come here, but the Nian family lost power, and those people who welcomed her in the past are now walking around this place, so these days, Mo Er is the first person to come here.
The eunuch who was guarding outside saw Sixi coming, greeted him and called Qian'er, and asked diligently, "Does my father-in-law want to go in?" ”
"Hmm." Sixi casually agreed, took Mo'er inside, after passing through the courtyard that was ruined because no one took care of it, they found Zhilan standing in a daze under the eaves, seeing Sixi and Mo'er, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pounced on Sixi's clothes tightly and said: "Father-in-law, please say a good word in front of the emperor, let the slave maid go to another place on an errand!" ”
Sixi took a step back to the side and said, "Miss Zhilan said that she laughed, our family is just a slave, how can we have this ability." ”
"No, my father-in-law is the head of the inner house, and he is the most trusted by the emperor, and it is just a matter of your words to transfer the slave and maid out of Yikun Palace." Zhilan begged bitterly, she was not fed up with the dark and unfree days here, and she didn't want to be like this for the rest of her life, so the sudden appearance of Sixi became her lifeline.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do." Sixi said without emotion, he didn't have any friendship with Zhilan, and there was no reason to do anything for her, not to mention that Mo Er said that in Kunning Palace that day, Zhilan deliberately lied and wronged her, which made him even more disgusted.
Zhilan was willing to give up, knelt down and said: "As long as the father-in-law can take the slave and maid out of here, the slave and maid will definitely remember the father-in-law's great kindness." Seeing that Sixi still looked indifferent, she said ruthlessly: "The slave is willing to be a vegetable for her father-in-law and serve her father-in-law for the rest of her life." ”
Hearing the word Caihu, Sixi, who had already planned to ignore Zhilan, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked down at Zhilan.
The so-called vegetable household refers to the eunuch and the palace maid voluntarily marrying to comfort the loneliness of the deep palace. The eunuchs cut off their children and grandchildren, and they are destined to not be able to marry wives and have children like normal men for the rest of their lives, but they are too desolate to be alone for decades, and the palace maids cannot have a husband before leaving the palace at the age of twenty-five. Without a wife and children and a husband, there is a vegetable household, also known as food, but such a relationship is often terminated after the palace maid leaves the palace, unless the palace maid voluntarily stays in the palace for the rest of her life.
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, only in the Kangxi Dynasty, there was a pair of eunuchs and palace maids who were given food, but unfortunately the ending was not very good. Pity the eunuch who was seriously ill in those days, he still insisted on waiting at the palace gate.
And this is precisely where Sixi is another fear, eunuchs are often more dedicated than ordinary men because they are disabled, and once they deliver their true hearts, they will be for a lifetime; If betrayed, Sixi doesn't know if he can stand the heart-rending pain.
Zhilan saw Sixi and knew that he was moved, and Zhilan was also confident in herself, although her appearance could not be compared with those masters in the palace, she was also outstanding among the palace maids, and the most important thing was that she was young, every inch of her skin was filled with the breath of youth, without a trace of twilight, I believe Sixi would not refuse.
Just when Zhilan was full of confidence, Sixi spoke, and the cold voice made Zhilan feel cold, "Miss Zhilan forgot, it is not allowed to marry a vegetable household in the palace without permission, and besides, Miss Zhilan is young, how dare our family delay, so please don't mention this in the future, otherwise our family will only tell the emperor truthfully." After that, he said to Mo Er: "If you have anything to say, just ask quickly, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”
Mo Er nodded, looked at the lost Zhilan and said, "That day in the Kunning Palace, why did you lie to me?" ”
Zhilan was still immersed in the shock of being rejected by Sixi, until Mo Er asked twice in a row before she came back to her senses, her eyes rolled, and she said with pain on her face: "Mo Er, I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, it's because she is always in her bibi me, saying that if I don't do what she says, I'll kill me, I really can't help it...... Mo'er, don't blame me, okay? ”
"Is that really the case?" General Mo'er asked suspiciously.
Zhilan nodded hurriedly, "If there is a lie, I will not die well." Without waiting for Mo Er to speak, she said again: "Mo Er, you help me beg my father-in-law, I really don't want to stay any longer." Do you still remember the days when we supported each other in the Xin Zheku, and besides, you were able to leave the Xin Zheku because I interceded with Gonggong Xu on your behalf, otherwise you would still be suffering there. Moer, help me! ”
"This ......" Mo Er was embarrassed, and when she heard Zhilan say that she was forced, she had already forgiven Zhilan, but she was really hard to answer when she left Yikun Palace.
Just when Mo Er was hesitating whether to open his mouth to Sixi, a white porcelain teacup smashed on Zhilan's face, and the nosebleed flowed down instantly, and before he could figure out what was going on, a figure had already pounced up, slashing at Zhilan's head and face, scolding while beating, "Xiao Jian's hoof, when Bengong is dead, you dare to betray Bengong, see if Bengong doesn't kill you!" ”
"Master spare your life! Master spare your life! Zhilan was so frightened that she begged for mercy, she didn't expect Nian to suddenly appear, and listened to her words. Her hair was clutched by Nian's stubbornly, as if she was going to tear off her scalp, and she burst into tears in pain, and her face was slapped even more incessantly, and the blood flowing from her nose was smeared on her face because of Nian's movements.
