Chapter 404: Old Minion
The news of Chen Baili's return on the same day was like a heart booster, and after hearing the news, the entire Chen Mansion was full of new vitality. However, the effect of the spiritual level on the material level does not seem to be very good, Chen Baichuan only feels that the whole person is much more comfortable, but many problems in front of him have not been solved.
A eunuch was waiting outside the gate of Chen's mansion. The little eunuch with a young face was a little anxious on his face, as a person in the palace, he went to other courtiers, but no one would give him such treatment, this was not even given the door.
The little eunuch knew that the Chen family's status was extraordinary, and it was not something that his little arms and legs could shake. He only comforted himself in his heart, fortunately it was not summer, there was an autumn wind blowing, and he was not too tired to stand in the coolness. With his neck stretched out, his eyes staring, the little eunuch was anxious.
I only heard a sound of footsteps coming from inside the gate of Chen's mansion, and the little eunuch looked up and saw that it was really Chen Baichuan who was waiting for him. He breathed a sigh of relief, clutched his chest and said, "Ouch my Lord Chen, you are too slow, the palace still thinks that I am grinding on the road." ”
A little eunuch, of course Chen Baichuan didn't think so, and only said lightly: "You will explain to your godfather and ancestors, I just rubbed it in." ”
Who knew that he said a random sentence in a hurry, and it became a thunderbolt in the ears of the little eunuch, and the little eunuch trembled in shock, and knelt down in a tone begging for mercy: "Lord Chen, forgive me, where do I dare to say bad things about adults to godfathers, besides, the slaves are too talkative, and how can godfathers have the thickness of an adult's arms." ”
It turned out that the eunuchs in this palace had no wives and no children, and the high-ranking and powerful eunuchs had developed the habit of adopting their sons, and the title of ancestor naturally belonged to the big celebrities around His Majesty King Chen. On weekdays, the little eunuchs are supported by their godfathers, and if the little eunuchs' godfathers know, he would have the courage to talk about Chen Baichuan's no, and if he couldn't say anything, he would break a dog's leg and throw it in the most deserted place in the palace.
The young eunuch was naturally reluctant to spend his whole life in a bitter place, and he kept kowtowing, looking like Chen Baichuan would die in place without speaking.
Chen Baichuan just smiled helplessly when he looked at him like this, his words did not have the meaning that the little eunuch understood, it was just a blurt out, where are there so many city mansions. Besides, he is a dignified member of the second grade, and his prestige in the court even far exceeds the official rank, how can he use the city government on a eunuch who has no hair, then he is not tired to death.
"Get up, this official won't bother with you, quickly lead the way into the palace, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty has already taken it?"
The little eunuch kowtowed a few more times before he got up from the ground, his eyes were slightly red and full of gratitude, if such people can live to old age, I am afraid that they will also be called ancestors in the future. Of course, at this time, he was still an inconspicuous little eunuch, and Chen Baichuan asked more out of curiosity: "What's your name?" Is that your godfather? ”
The little eunuch didn't expect Chen Baichuan to ask for his name, his face was flattered, and he said: "My name is Gao Dayu, and he hasn't mentioned the name of his godfather, he only knows the surname Qin." ”
"Okay, Gao Dayu, this official remembers you." Hearing his godfather's surname, Chen Baichuan's expectations for this person were much weaker. The surname Qin, then don't be the one in King Chen's mouth, otherwise it will be useless to have organic spiritual energy.
After entering the palace, Gao Dayu led Chen Baichuan to the direction of King Chen's bedroom. King Chen's injuries are still there, and he can't go to court for a while. He was assassinated by someone and other things that pierced the sky, but he did not hide it after all, and the Manchu Dynasty was shocked by the civil and military.
"See His Majesty King Chen."
"Get up." Chen Wang's voice was still weak, he had lost too much blood, and his body was still very weak. This time it was like a sharp knife hanging over his head, forcing him to take a break.
Chen Baichuan glanced at the hall, Jiang Changyin was really there, and the old eunuch was also in the hall. Chen Baichuan couldn't eliminate his suspicions about this old eunuch, and with his performance yesterday, it seemed too deliberate to Chen Baichuan. This person must be tired, but Chen Baichuan himself can't explain why the old eunuch didn't attack King Chen. After all, the old eunuch is a close minister of King Chen's side, and if he wants to start, the chances are much greater than ordinary people.
He stared at the old eunuch, lost his mind for a while, and knew that King Chen was lying on the bed and called his name weakly several times, so he came back to his senses, hugged his fists and said: "The minister thinks about things and is in a trance, and the minister should die." ”
King Chen shook his head lightly and said, "Aiqing is concerned about the affairs of the family and the country, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he is tired, and the widow can understand. Just now, the widow asked you, is the news of the general's return true? ”
"If there are no accidents, it is true." Chen Baichuan talked about it with a smile on his face.
"That's good." A smile appeared on King Chen's slightly pale face, and he was sincerely happy that Chen Baili could return safely. The matter of letting Chen Baili go to Chen Guo is still vivid, but fortunately he returned unharmed.
Chen Baichuan didn't understand a little, what did His Majesty King Chen mean, could it be that he was allowed to enter the palace just to ask about Chen Baili's affairs, there was no need to be so popular. Chen Baichuan knew that there were some channels in the palace that could get news from Daheng, at least not much slower than the channels of the Chen family.
"The minister dared to ask Your Majesty, today Xuanchen entered the palace, and there is nothing else?" Chen Baichuan waited for a long time, but Chen Wang still had nothing else to say, Chen Baichuan couldn't hold it back, so he had to speak by himself.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wang patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm dizzy." ”
He turned to Jiang Changyin on the side and complained with a smile: "The teacher doesn't know how to remind him, and the students almost made a mistake." Today is a good time, all the guards in the palace have gathered around the widow's dormitory. ”
"Now, you people can't escape, right?" This third sentence was said by King Chen to the old eunuch, and when he spoke, he had a vague smile on his face.
The old eunuch softened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what His Majesty is talking about. ”
"The meaning of the widow is clear. The widow just can't understand that even a dog that has been raised for many years will have feelings for the master, why are you, an old slave, a white-eyed wolf, biting the master in turn. King Chen lay on the bed, his eyes bursting with anger.
The old eunuch knew that the incident in the east window had happened, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old slave, the old slave is in trouble." Think about it, the old slave has done a thing that is sorry for you over the years, and he doesn't treat you like a god. The old slave has done you a poisonous act, and you are not living well. ”
