Chapter 147: Ability
Not long after Xiao Shunzi left, a figure sneakily walked out from behind the tree outside the cold palace, and this person was Yuan Chun. He is Xiao Shunzi's apprentice and has always coveted Xiao Shunzi's position as the eunuch. On the surface, he is very respectful to Xiao Shunzi, but in fact, he has long hated him to the extreme. has been trying to find out his shortcomings so that he can be removed from the position of the eunuch.
At this moment, he glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he quietly pushed open the door of the cold palace and walked in.
He originally went to the Internal Affairs Office to see the newly arrived tea, but when he walked halfway down, he unexpectedly saw Xiao Shunzi leading a man over here. He was curious for a moment, so he quietly followed behind, all the way to the uninhabited cold palace. In order to avoid being discovered by Xiao Shunzi, he didn't go in, hid outside and waited, which was more than half an hour. What surprised him was that there were two people when he went in, but when he came out, there was only one Xiaoshunzi, where did the man go?
Yuan Chun searched around the cold palace, but never found the man. After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Chun's eyes fell on the big stone pressed against the mouth of the dry well in the backyard. He suddenly felt that something was strange about this, so he leaned into the mouth of the well and looked through the gap. It's a pity that it's too dark inside to see anything, and after that, he took out the fire fold he was carrying, blew it up, poked through the gap, and then looked inside.
Through the faint light of the fire, Yuan Chun saw the situation in the well, and it was a pair of eyes wide open. He was very surprised, the well of this cold palace had long since dried up, how could there be his reflection? However, he soon realized that he had thought wrong, and that those eyes were dead eyes!
"Ahh Yuan Chun exclaimed, retreated again and again, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and threw the fire fold in fright. How can there be dead people in this well?
After he came to his senses, he had the courage to come up again, and when he saw it clearly, he said with surprise on his face: "Is it him?" ”
The corpse at the bottom of the well was the man he had just seen, he was so dignified when he came in, why did he die in a blink of an eye? Who killed him and threw him into the well?
I have been guarding the gate of the cold palace, except for Xiao Shunzi, I haven't seen anyone else come in, could it be that he killed him?
was startled by this thought, and then shook his head again and again, how could this be possible, he had no reason to kill!
Yuan Chun thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't understand the reason why this person was killed, but he quickly abandoned this idea, the person must have been killed by Xiao Shunzi, as long as he knew about it, it was enough.
Since the last time he was said in front of Gongliang Rongruo, Xiao Shunzi was infected with a cold, frail and sickly, and was not suitable to serve the royal driver and was known by Xiao Shunzi, and reprimanded, he was a lot more honest on the surface, but he never gave up the idea of replacing him in his heart, but he never found a chance. Now that Xiao Shunzi has killed someone, once he is sued in front of His Majesty, he will definitely die!
After leaving the cold palace, Yuan Chun came to the place where he saw Xiao Shunzi before, and then walked all the way in reverse. Looking at the person's dress, it is obvious that he is from outside the palace, and when he enters the palace, he will definitely pass through the palace gate, as long as he finds the door where he entered the palace, he can ask his identity, his intention and the reason why he is with Xiao Shunzi from the mouth of the forbidden army guarding the door.
He found the two forbidden soldiers who had let Wang He into the palace, and after asking the matter clearly, he quickly rushed to the Xingde Palace.
When he arrived, Xiao Shunzi happened to come out of it, and when he saw him coming, his face sank slightly, "What are you doing?" ”
Yuan Chun didn't even call the master, and said directly: "I have something to tell Your Majesty, please pass it on for me." ”
Xiao Shunzi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I am good at it." ”
"I was trained by the master, no matter how long my ability is, I can't compare to the master!" Yuan Chun said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Xiao Shunzi snorted lightly, "Say, why do you want to see Your Majesty?" ”
Yuan Chun's eyes rolled, and he said: "The Internal Affairs Office has just sent some Jin Junmei to the imperial tea room, and I see that the color and fragrance are not as good as in previous years, so I came to ask Your Majesty if you still want to make Jin Junmei every day." ”
"Wait here." Throwing down these words, Xiao Shunzi turned around and entered the hall, and after a while, he opened the door of the temple from the inside, "Come in." ”
Yuan Chun straightened his clothes and walked in lightly. Gongliangrong was reviewing the folds, and Yingyi was grinding ink for him.
Yuan Chun knelt down and said respectfully: "Slave to Your Majesty to say goodbye!" ”
Gongliang Rong said without raising his head: "Yesterday, the head of the Internal Affairs Office also said that this year's Jin Junmei harvest is better than in previous years, how can you come here, it is not as good as in previous years?" ”
When Yuan Chun heard this, he hurriedly leaned down, "Your Majesty is wise, Jin Junmei is indeed in excellent condition this year, and it was the slave who lied." ”
Gongliang Rongruo was stunned by the pen in his hand, and the next moment he was already looking up at Yuan Chun, with anger on his face, "You are so bold, you dare to deceive me!" ”
Yuan Chun kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave deserves death for his own crime, but if the slave doesn't do this, I'm afraid that he will be killed before he sees His Majesty." ”
A look of astonishment flashed in Gongliang's eyes, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yuan Chun secretly glanced at Xiao Shunzi and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, someone deceived the Holy Hearing, mutilated people's lives in Zhaoming Palace, and killed innocents in vain. ”
Xiao Shunzi's face changed, and he scolded: "Bold, Hugh has to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty!" ”
Yuan Chun ignored him, kowtowed to Gongliang Rongruo and said, "Even if a slave has great courage, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty." This is what the slave saw with his own eyes, and it is absolutely true. ”
"Your Majesty......"
Gongliang Rongruo raised his hand to stop Xiao Shunzi, stared at Yuan Chun and said, "Who is this person you are talking about?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this person is in the palace now, that is...... Shun Boss! ”
When the last two words came out of Yuan Chun's mouth, everyone's faces changed. Gongliang Rong Ruo Huo Ran got up, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yuan Chun, and Sen Ran said, "You say it again!" ”
"The chief steward of Shun is deeply blessed by the Holy Grace, but he deceives the king and causes chaos in the palace!" Yuan Chun had a happy smile in his eyes. For so many years, he swallowed his anger under Xiao Shunzi, grovelled for so many years, and finally came back on this day!
Xiao Shunzi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, the slave has never done such a thing." Yuan Chun has always coveted the position of the slave and deliberately wronged the slave! ”
Without waiting for the public to be good, Yuan Chun bowed to the ground three times and said solemnly: "If the slave has half a lie, I wish the world to be a slave and die without a child from generation to generation!" ”
Gongliang Rongruo's gaze swept over Xiao Shunzi, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yuan Chun was waiting for him, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, about two hours ago, the slave inadvertently saw Xiao Shunzi lead a man dressed in the market to the direction of the harem. The minion was curious for a moment, so he quietly followed them, only to find that Xiao Shunzi had taken him to the cold palace. ”
Gongliang Rongruo's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Isn't there no one in the cold palace anymore?" What do they go to do? ”
The minion couldn't figure it out at the time, so he kept waiting outside. Later, Xiao Shunzi came out, but the man was nowhere to be seen. The servants were worried that they would be unfavorable to His Majesty, so they had the courage to enter the cold palace to check. As a result, the man's body was found in a dry well in the backyard. ”
