Chapter 22 The Tanuki Exchanges the Prince
Harem.
A eunuch walked sneakily between the palace walls, probing his brain, as if he was very flustered, turning back three times in one step, for fear that someone would find him.
But according to Murphy's Law: "The more you worry, the more it will happen." "Characteristically, he's going to be discovered.
"Stop, where are you little eunuch? What are you doing sneaking up on in this little alley? ”
The old palace maid beside the queen found that this guy was not quite the same as other eunuchs, and scolded loudly.
"Ah, I am, I'm from the imperial dining room (equivalent to the palace kitchen), I'm going, I'm going to find food for the Queen Mother." The tall eunuch didn't reply, but his voice was quite strong.
"Stop! Turn around. The old palace maid felt more and more that something was wrong.
The eunuch had to turn around slowly and lower his head, he was the one who disguised himself as a eunuch and infiltrated the harem!
"Look up, hey, why haven't I seen you? You tell me honestly. ”
"I'm new here, and I've just entered the palace."
Lai Fu quickly glanced around, and found that there were people walking around all the time, so he dismissed the plan to go up and knock the other party out, so he would definitely be exposed, so he had to hold his throat and make an explanation very unnaturally, he also found out clearly, there are many eunuchs in the harem, and there are often new arrivals, especially the personnel in the imperial dining room are even more complicated, even the old palace maids may not be able to know them all.
"It turned out to be a new eunuch, work hard, don't be lazy, go." The old palace maid suddenly realized, no longer doubted him, left a word of lesson and left.
"Yes."
It's so dangerous, I was almost exposed, but fortunately I'm witty, but there are really enough rules in this harem, and it's really not easy to go to Gonggong Gui's residence without attracting the attention of others.
Although he complained in his heart, Lai Fu was also a powerful guy, and after many tribulations, he finally went to Grandpa Gui's house at night.
This is a 3 bedroom apartment in a relatively secluded location in a beautiful setting, making it a nice place to stay.
Sneaking in through the window, he searched the whole house, and Rifle found no one.
Strange, why isn't Grandpa Gui here? Where did the baby go? Although he was very confused in his heart, he didn't quit immediately, he wanted to wait for a while, wait until Gonggong Gui came back, and then see the situation, after all, it was really not easy to get in.
waited until late at night, at the end of the hour, Grandpa Gui finally came back, Laifu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but still quietly hid under the bed, he still didn't know what kind of person this Grandpa Gui was, which side he was on?
From under the bed, I secretly looked at this big eunuch, and saw that his face was white and beardless, and he had a feminine aura.
"Come out, little monkey."
Gonggong Gui, who was sitting quietly at the table drinking tea, said lightly in his male duck voice.
Lai Fu was stupid, thinking that he was exposed, but he looked around, although the bed board was high, but there was a long curtain to cover it, it stands to reason that he should not be discovered, could it be that he has a very high level of martial arts, much more intelligent internal skills than himself, and can feel his existence through the bed curtain?
Just as he was about to crawl out from under the bed, there was a noise in the closet in the room, and there was a small eunuch hiding in it!
"Father-in-law, how did I come back late today, I'm about to suffocate inside." The little eunuch, called "Little Monkey", grumbled as he walked to the table.
"There's something going on with the Queen Mother," Grandpa Gui paused, and then asked, "How's that going?" ”
"Back to my father-in-law, there was an accident, when I was about to send the child out of the palace, I heard the news that Xiao Lizi was killed, and I was so frightened that I quickly hid." The little monkey said scaredly.
"Little Plum was killed?" Gonggong Gui asked.
"Yes, just this afternoon, when I passed by Fengyi Pavilion, I heard their palace maids talking."
"What did they say?"
"One said, 'Little Plum is so pitiful, he was beaten to death, his flesh and blood are blurred, it's really miserable, is this the fate of our subordinates?' Then another palace maid said, 'This is all his own fault, who told him not to do things for his mother, and actually let the child go, and sent it to the hands of Jinyiwei, isn't this looking for death?' But, however, the child was innocent, and he had done nothing wrong, so why did he have to die at birth? ''He's right, but he shouldn't have been born in the harem at this time, because once he grows up, the mother will be miserable in the future. ''That'...... Then he is also innocent. ''Alas, everything is fate, fortunately, Xiao Lizi still has a little conscience and sent him to Jinyiwei, otherwise he would definitely die.'' ''What will the mother do?'' Will she go to Jinyiwei to get people back? ''I don't know, that's not something we should be concerned about, okay, don't talk about it, someone's coming.'' ’”
The little monkey narrated and reconstructed their conversation one by one.
"Fortunately, Xiao Lizi still has a little conscience and some backbone, and he didn't tell us about the child still in our hands, but he said that the child was sent to Jinyiwei? Did he ever leave the palace later? ”
"It is said that he went out once, for about two hours, and no one knows where he went." The little monkey replied.
"Oh? Could it be that Jinyiwei was also involved in this matter? Gonggong Gui muttered to himself.
"Father-in-law, what should we do now? The palace gate has been stared at by the queen, and the child will definitely not be able to get out. ”
"Hmm...... Give it to the Queen Mother? No, in that case, we will definitely die, the queen mother can't protect him, the queen's power is too great! Another question is, how to prove that this child belongs to His Majesty? Otherwise, even if we spread the news to His Majesty's ears at that time, but the Empress is fanning the flames for a few words, how can we prove it? The kid is dead. ”
"So what to do? It's not easy to bring such a small child. ”
"If only there was a chivalrous man with light skills, I would go and distract the eyes of those guards, and take advantage of the night, he will take the child out, and after three or five years, the child will grow up, and you can see whose seed he is, and at that time when he is brought to His Majesty, the queen will be speechless." Father-in-law Gui said intentionally or unintentionally under the bed.
"But where can there be such a master knight, risking his life to do such a thankless task?"
The little monkey replied in frustration, he was a little eunuch who had just entered the palace, but he was also a clever guy, otherwise how could Gonggong Gui take him in when he was in the most difficult time?
Laifu, who had been eavesdropping under the bed for a long time, finally moved, and he somewhat believed that this Father-in-law Gui was a good person and was ready to be what they called a chivalrous man.
"There is a way that the heavens live up to some people. I can take the child out, and in the future, this child will grow up and even inherit the throne, and those two fathers-in-law are really meritorious! ”
Rif patted the dust off his body, and said to them earnestly with a divine glow on his face.
The little monkey was startled and retreated behind Gonggong Gui, who was worthy of being the leader of the eunuchs, his heart was as calm as water, but there was no change, he said, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why are you hiding in my room? ”
"I'm the brocade guard, Laifu, and I came to look for the child, father-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely raise the child well, now hand him over to me."
"Oh? Why should I believe you? What if you're a spy on the Queen's side? ”
Lai Fu was wearing eunuch clothes, so he knew that the other party's concerns were reasonable, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and he said, "If I were the queen's person, would you still be able to sit here and drink tea now?" ”
"Yes, that's right,"
Grandpa Gui took a sip of tea, nodded faintly, then stood up, walked to the door, and opened the closed wooden door.
Rifle was taken aback, the child was outside? Are you kidding? So what is he going to do? So he opened his mouth and asked, "Father-in-law, what does this mean?" ”
"Someone, there's an assassin!"
Gonggong Gui shouted at the dark outside, and a large number of guards appeared in an instant, and they restrained the unsuspecting Laifu.
"Grandpa Gui, what the hell are you doing?!" Rainbow, who was tied up by the flowers, roared angrily.
At this time, a group of people came outside, and one of them was the old palace maid who taught him during the day.
"What? You entered the palace late at night to try to assassinate the respected Gonggong Gui, what do you say? Queen Mena replied lightly.
"What? It turns out that this is all a trap! What about the kids? ”
After regaining his composure, Lai Fu quickly figured out that this was just a play played by someone else, but what about that child, how was he, this was his biggest concern at the moment, and his own safety was in second place.
"It's a loyal guy, at this time he is still thinking about the task above, remembering His Majesty's prince, haha, he deserves to be a good subordinate of my Feng nephew!" The queen smiled and sighed.
At this time, the "dead, beaten flesh and blood" - Xiao Lizi, he walked out of the crowd, circled twice around the Leyfou, who was tied like a pillar, and said jokingly: "What kind of child! It's just a skinned tanuki, making this big noise, just to try who is going against the queen, you Jinyiwei really rely on being a cronie of His Majesty, so you are presumptuous, haha. ”
"It's so calculated, it's worthy of being the overlord of the harem, I, Laifu, have seen your power struggle! Okay, admire, but I'm General Feng's henchman, if you dare to touch me, he will definitely not let you go! ”
"Hehe, yes, I'm so scared."
The queen smiled, although she was over half a hundred years old, she was quite well maintained, and she still had some charm, but no matter how enchanting and charming she was, she was disgusting and ugly in Lai Fu's eyes, and it was her heart that was ugly.
"Push it out, kill it." Then, the queen commanded sharply.
"Well, death is death! Anyway, my life was picked up, and I lived enough, but I didn't have a chance to serve General Feng anymore. Levif looked up at the sky and sighed, but there was no weakness or fear.
Just as the executioner raised his knife and was about to cut it at his head, Grandpa Gui whispered a few words in the queen's ear, causing her to change her attention.
"Stop, lock him in the dungeon first."
"Yes."
Although everyone was very puzzled, they did not come up with anything, and the queen's words were like a holy decree to them.
In this way, Laifu, who turned around from the ghost gate again, had all kinds of feelings in his heart, and staggered into the dark dungeon, he didn't know what Gonggong Gui and the queen said, and he didn't have the heart to guess, he didn't know what was waiting for him, anyway, he made up his mind and never opened his mouth, so as not to let General Feng suffer any frame-up in the dark, he was really a little afraid of the calculation of the harem.
