Chapter 18: Breaking the Silk Thread (1)

(Sorry: Try anti-theft today, which caused upload problems, I hope you will bear with me)

"Xie Liangchen, you go to Yuxiu Palace and tell Xuan'er that I used my lunch there today, and then you go to Yaohua Palace for a trip, please Wanrong also go to Yuxiu Palace at noon to accompany me to eat." The emperor looked up at the outside of the hall and instructed Xie Liangchen.

Xie Liangchen knew that the emperor was deliberately taking himself away, and he had something to say to Xing'er alone. He was a smart man, so he agreed to leave the palace, and by the way, he sent the two little eunuchs who were standing outside the palace gate to a place a hundred steps away from the Yanying Palace.

Only the emperor and Lai Xing'er were left in the Yanying Palace.

"The little one has seen the emperor, I wish the emperor long live, long live, long live!" From the down-and-out prince who hid in the stable courtyard more than ten days ago to the Venerable Ten Thousand Vehicles who lives in the Daming Palace today, although Lai Xing'er knew that he was facing the same person, he still couldn't help but feel fear and awe.

"Well, I forgot, since you were born in the idle stable, you have some entanglements with Li Jinzhong. You've seen it before I've come here, haven't you? ”

The emperor's question made Lai Xing'er vaguely seem to have returned to two years ago, when in the East Palace Ning Xiangxuan, the prince broke his identity as an eyeliner in Qingning Palace, which made him fall into the abyss, and now this scene seems to be staged in the Yanying Palace, but at this moment Lai Xing'er has no sense of worry in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lai Xing'er replied very neatly.

"So, you already know about the errand that you came to Yanying Hall on an errand? I recently heard Jing Niangniang say that you are not only skilled in riding, but in the past two years, you have learned the art of martial arts with her, and you are also coarse in writing and ink, I didn't expect that you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs at a young age. ”

The Emperor said this with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"From today onwards, this Yanying Hall will become the focus of attention from top to bottom, I don't want the incident like the East Palace two years ago to happen in the Yanying Palace, do you understand what I mean?"

When Lai Xing'er heard this, he couldn't stand anymore, knelt down and kowtowed: "The little ones understand, but the little ones don't dare." ”

"I don't care what someone says to you or what you want to do." The emperor's face couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, "What I care about is what you do in the future!" You have just heard the situation in the palace, I put the words down first, from now on, in the Yanying Palace, you are the head of the palace, no matter who goes on a business trip, I will ask you first. ”

Although Lai Xing'er couldn't figure out how big an official the head of Yanying Hall was, he first saw Li Jinzhong coercing him, and then heard the emperor say this himself, thinking that this must be a very important position, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The night before entering the palace, Furong's words really came true, it seems that although Empress Zhang died, the remnants of Qingning Palace in the palace are still amazingly powerful, no wonder a wise person like Liu Yi can only make a statement to the emperor and send all the palace people out.

"I didn't deal with you two years ago, do you know why?" There was a biting coldness in the Emperor's voice.

"Little dull, please make it clear to your majesty."

"That's because from you, I still can't see the intention of an ordinary eunuch. I remember that when I asked you to stay with Jing Concubine, you actually asked me to go back to the stable to raise horses.

Since then, I have had your family history secretly investigated. If your father had not stayed in Chang'an due to illness and fell into the hands of traitors, and refused to die as a martyr, he was forced to take on a false position and was killed under the single willow tree, how could you have entered the palace as a slave at such a young age?

Although you are the eyes and ears of Qingning Palace, I know that you are from a secret family, and I usually behave like a traitor, and Mama Xia has tried her best to protect you in front of me, so I decided to spare you.

This time I returned to Beijing, although you have no ability to protect you, but you still have the work of accompanying me when you meet the leisure stable, because of this, I promoted you to Yanying on an errand.

I left you alone today, and specially told a few words, first of all, you must understand that everything about you is in my control, only by serving the king loyally, you will have a bright future, and secondly, I want to warn you to keep in mind the word diligence and prudence, and not to get involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong in the Daming Palace; The third is to hope that you will always be grateful, persevere, and encouraged, do not insult the style of the scholarly family, and do not live up to the affection of Mama Xia to you back then.

I regard you as a material that can be made, you are good for yourself, and you have a splendid future. ”

Listening to the emperor's earnest teachings, Lai Xing'er felt more and more confused rather than flattered: Why would His Majesty the Supreme Emperor favor such a young eunuch who had just entered the palace? As soon as he entered the palace, he received the attention of so many people, and he didn't know what he would face in this Yanying Hall in the future?

Seeing off the emperor, Lai Xing'er returned to the Yanying Hall alone, looking at the dragon seat set up in the center, and fell into memories and reverie.

On that dark night three days ago, Lai Xing'er was forced by Wu Xiaozhong to drink a pot of wine, and fell asleep deeply. In a trance, he seemed to feel that he was galloping on a horse, and suddenly there was no way out in front of him, and an abyss appeared.........

Lai Xing'er woke up from her dream and was surprised to find that she was no longer in the bedroom of Wu Xiaozhong in the idle yard that exuded the strong smell of wine.

At this moment, he smelled another faint fragrance in his nostrils, and he immediately realized that it was the smell of sandalwood that often burned in the temple.

Two familiar faces then came into view: wearing a night suit, standing on the edge of the bed and smirking at him was his brother-in-law Luo San'er, and next to Luo San'er stood a young Taoist aunt, who turned out to be Furong.

"Big brother, where is this? How did I get here? Lai Xing'er turned over and sat up, looked around, and asked Luo San'er in confusion.

"Brother, don't ask so much." Luo San'er saw that Lai Xing'er woke up, turned his head to look at Furong, and replied happily, "Big brother has no other way but to invite you here quietly, brother, don't blame me." ”

"Am I out of Chang'an City? You didn't do anything to my uncle, did you? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lai Xing'er would never have imagined that Luo San'er would get involved with Furong.

"Little brother, have you been happy in the past two years? Have you forgotten about my sister? Furong glanced at Luo San'er and asked with a smile.

"Big brother, sister, you don't have ......?"
