Chapter 22: The Death of Xiao Weizi
Xiao Weizi is the little eunuch who sent a message to Zhou An before Zhou An left the prison of the palace, and brought roast chicken and wine to Zhou An at night, and saw Zhou An off!
His real name is Wei Baozhen, the same age as Xiao Anzi, he entered the palace at the age of eleven, from entering the palace to his death, he has always been on an errand in the direct palace, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the inner court, because he is unpleasant, dark and thin, and honest in temperament, and will not flatter, so he has always been a low-level marginal person in the inner court.
On the first day Xiao Anzi was transferred to the direct palace prison, he knew him!
Xiao Weizi seems to have only Xiao Anzi, a real friend, the two have a good time, but their fates are completely different, Xiao Anzi's life is very good, and he was selected to be the eldest princess's long-term companion when he entered the palace.
Although Xu Jin killed Xiao Anzi in the end, it is undeniable that if it were not for the events of that night, Xiao Anzi's eunuch career would be perfect!
Xiao Weizi is much more miserable, he is always bullied, he does all the dirty work, he takes a meager salary, and sends most of it to his home every year! In fact, Xiao Weizi is content, after all, this is the palace inside, even if the little eunuch's salary is low, compared to the outside, it is a lot of money!
Although he did dirty work, he didn't feel tired at all compared to the hardships suffered by the children of poor families in the people!
Xiao Weizi is a contented and happy person, he will not slip around and pat horses, nor will he get involved in right and wrong, let him do whatever he wants, it stands to reason that a person like him will inevitably be obedient in the inner court, tired of life, but the value is peace, but God joked with him!
He died very suddenly!
Just yesterday at noon, Xiao Weizi was troubled by Sun Deyou, the supervisor of the direct hall, because he did not clean the clean room, and he picked off his pants in public and slapped thirty boards...... Xiao Weizi has a thin body, and he has never practiced kung fu, thirty boards, let alone him, even if he finds an adult with a tiger's back, he will have to be disabled, not to mention Xiao Weizi.
Xiao Weizi was broken on the spot, and he vomited blood, but he didn't die, and he held on until the afternoon before he died.
Zhou An heard about this matter this morning, and he was told by the small pavilion that usually followed him and listened to his send.
Death to an insignificant little eunuch! It stands to reason that the news will not be immediately transmitted to the Xichun Palace, and the establishment of the Xichun Palace is independent of the twelve prisons of the inner court, and it has little intersection with them, especially at present, the Xichun Palace is planning major events internally, and there is a certain blockade both internally and externally.
But the news still reached Zhou An's ears!
Because this matter has something to do with Zhou An!
Sun Deyou wanted to kill Zhou An the most, originally he wanted to transfer Zhou An to clean the house, and then found trouble and ended up Zhou An, but suddenly changed his mind and sent Zhou An to Xichun Palace, originally wanted to borrow the hand of Princess Yunjing to kill Zhou An!
But I never expected that Zhou An entered the Xichun Palace, and somehow flattered Princess Yunjing, and he actually rose to prominence! Not only was he promoted to the eunuch of the Spring Palace, but he was also rewarded with a Feiyan costume and became the most favored slave around Princess Yunjing!
In fact, from the day Zhou An was transferred to Xichun Palace, Sun Deyou had no choice but to take Zhou An, if Princess Yunjing didn't kill Zhou An, he could only stare dryly!
However, I don't know who said it, Sun Deyou actually knew that Xiao Weizi had sent a message to Zhou An and saw Zhou An off, and then Xiao Weizi was transferred to clean the house, and was killed yesterday!
Sun Deyou is obviously taking revenge, or rather, it's not even revenge, it's just out of anger!
But the consequence is that one life is missing!
Xiao Weizi's death will not be known by people at a higher level, and the slightly powerful eunuchs in the palace, or nobles, will not pay attention to the life or death of a little eunuch who has made a mistake, but this matter has caused a lot of discussions and gossip among the eunuch group at the bottom!
Many people know, especially the little eunuch of the direct palace, they all know and feel that Xiao Weizi died because of Zhou An!
Zhou An also thinks so!
When he listened to those "gossip" in Xiao Tingzi's mouth, he thought that Xiao Weizi died for himself! He is uncomfortable, although he is a traverser, he has not inherited too many feelings from Xiao Anzi, but comparing his heart to his heart, Xiao Weizi can remember Zhou An's "brother" when Zhou An is in the most danger, and Zhou An can't treat him as a stranger.
What's more, Xiao Weizi is innocent!
He shouldn't be involved in these rights and wrongs, let alone die!
Zhou An's gloomy mood is difficult to express!
He felt that if he didn't do something, he would be sorry for Xiao Weizi's spirit in the sky!
******
In the open space surrounded by apple trees, when Zhou An told Hongxing about Xiao Weizi's death, Hongxing was at a loss.
"Little Wei Zi...... Who is it? Hongxing asked with a wink.
Zhou An withdrew his gaze, but didn't say anything more.
"Okay, you little Anzi, I really want to be angry with this princess, you dog slave, I'm angry, I'm really angry......" Princess Yunjing walked back and forth angrily in the pavilion, and suddenly kicked on the stone bench in the pavilion.
Call!
The stone bench flew out of the pavilion and smashed on Zhou An's forehead, directly shattering into pieces!
Seeing that Princess Yunjing was really angry, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids were all frightened.
Zhou An didn't move, his face was a little gray, and two lines of blood flowed from his forehead.
"You! You dead little Anzi, why don't you hide? Are you stupid? Princess Yunjing said angrily again.
Zhou An looked at Princess Yunjing, his blackened face suddenly drooped, and he knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Highness, the slave has something to report!" ”
"If there's a fart, let it go!" Princess Yunjing's tone was also rushing, but she waved her handkerchief and instructed Hongxing, "Hongxing rubs him, rubs ...... him"
Hongxing squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhou An's blood.
Zhou An put aside Hongxing's hand, and then said to Princess Yunjing: "Your Highness, the matter that the slave is about to report is very important, please allow the slave to explain the situation to His Highness alone!" ”
"What's at stake, say it quickly! It's all your own people here! Princess Yunjing said.
Zhou An kowtowed and was silent.
Princess Yunjing was about to be mad, if other minions were so angry with her, she would have been pulled out and cut down a long time ago.
"Your Highness, you might as well listen to what he has to say first......" Haqige, who was behind Princess Yunjing, leaned over and said.
She is giving Princess Yunjing the steps, today's Zhou An is too wrong, Princess Yunjing's temper is not very good, this needle is against Mai Mang, if Princess Yunjing is angry and does something wrong, it will be too late to regret it.
Haqige, as the eighth emperor of the Great Inner Palace, grew up watching Princess Yunjing, and her words are still very weighty.
The angry Princess Yunjing glared at Zhou An, but raised her hand again and said, "Okay, okay, get out...... You all get out of the house ......"
"The minions are gone!"
"Slave and maid retire!"
A group of eunuchs and palace maids were all driven away, and soon, only Princess Yunjing, Hongxing, Haqige, and Zhou An were left in this apple orchard.
Red Apricot and Hutchige are absolutely trustworthy!
Princess Yunjing walked out of the pavilion, pinched her waist and stood in front of Zhou An, bowed her head and gritted her teeth: "Can you say it?!" ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqi!" Zhou An's voice was very calm, and he said at a slow pace, "On the night before entering the Spring Palace, the slave personally saw Sun Deyou, the supervisor of the Zhidian Palace, Gu Huaiyong, the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the forbidden army of the Xicheng City of Qianjing City all commanded Li Hubiao and the three of them to discuss the matter of rebellion!" ”
