After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first day, and although the sky is not clear, it can be seen that it is a sunny day and there is no wind.

The sound of firecrackers came and went, and the smell of sulfur wafted everywhere, even the Forbidden Palace.

In the early morning, the guards in the palace handed over their shifts, because it was the first day, and they all said some auspicious words when they met each other, trying to have a good fortune.

When the commander of the guards saw Shao Nan coming, he said strangely: "Why are you here?" I remember it wasn't your class today, right? ”

"Yang Wen changed with me," Shao Nan smiled: "He has something." ”

"That's it!" The commander of the guards looked at him again, turned around and took a new saber and handed it to him: "You can replace the new saber!" ”

Shao Nan thanked him, took it and put it on, and returned the old saber.

"There is a big feast in the palace today, and there is no reward indispensable, so I'll go to the back." Shao Nan said: "Tell Wu Yaoting to go to the front, his family is difficult." ”

"You are really good at being a person, and when you have benefits, you always want to give to others, no wonder you are popular." The commander of the guards patted Shao Nan on the shoulder and praised: "Then I'll leave it to you later, anyway, there is nothing big in the back, but it's just a routine inspection." ”

Then a few more guards came in, and Shao Nan greeted them one by one before coming out.

Shao Nan came out of the guard and ran directly to the harem, avoiding everyone's eyes and coming to the Jinwu.

This is the dormitory of the county lord of Duanmin, but with the loss of power of the queen, the county lord no longer has the honor he used to have.

Nowadays, the courtyard here is not cleaned, and it looks no different from a cold palace.

Shao Nan did not alienate the county lord because the queen was deposed, so he was very aware of the recent situation of the county lord Duanmin.

Now in this palace, a person can come over and bully her, so the life of Lord Duanmin is very pitiful.

often starved and frozen, and was ridiculed and ridiculed.

Shao Nan always tries to take care of her in the palace, but there are many times when she can't take care of her.

After all, he is just a guard in the palace, and he has to avoid people's eyes and ears when he comes here. If he is bumped into by someone with ulterior motives, and then he and the county lord are charged with another crime, it will be even more indefensible.

Because he thought that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shao Nan deliberately changed shifts with someone and brought some snacks that the county lord usually likes to eat and sent them to her.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a cry inside, and Shao Nan hurriedly entered.

I saw that the county lord of Duanmin and her two personal maids, Ling'er Xun'er, were hugging and crying, the clothes on the two maids were torn in many places, and their hair was also scattered, which was very embarrassing.

Seeing Shao Nan coming, the three of them stopped crying. The two maids were so ashamed that they didn't dare to look up.

"Who did this?" As soon as Shao Nan saw this, he knew that someone had come to bully them again, and he couldn't help but feel blood gushing up.

"It's not those dead eunuchs yet!" The county lord said hatefully: "They were angry in front of their master, so they ran here to vent their anger." In order to protect me, Ling'er was ...... by them"

It turned out that these eunuchs in the palace usually bowed down in front of their masters, and their bodies were incomplete, so they hated women very much.

Now that the county lord of Duanmin has no one to shelter, they can be regarded as finding a place to vent. Every once in a while, they came to harass them, and before that they had just said something nasty, or knocked over their rice bowls and soiled their tea.

Later, they began to use their hands and feet, and now their favorite thing to do is to rip off the clothes of the palace maid, and then humiliate them to their heart's content.

Although they can't abuse women like normal men, they will replace them with things. until people die and come back to life before they will stop.

The subordinates in this palace all asked to be transferred after the queen's accident.

Knowing that the county lord of Duanmin is nothing without the protection of the queen, if he stays by his side, he will inevitably be bullied. There were even a few eunuchs who, after leaving here, came back with people to humiliate them.

hated so much that Lord Duanmin almost gritted his teeth.

In order to protect the county lord, Ling'er and Xun'er were insulted by those eunuchs.

Today the eunuchs have intensified their efforts, stripping them naked and whipping them with leather whips for amusement. The two maids were almost never killed by them.

These eunuchs even wanted to take the initiative against Duanmin County, but fortunately, the county lord had learned some kung fu from Wei Yining, and he could barely protect himself.

But it's also very thrilling.

Later, the hour came, and the eunuchs were afraid of delaying the banquet in front of them, so they hurried away.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to put down the cruel words, saying that sooner or later the county lord would be cleaned up.

Needless to say, the county lord also knows that these people are like a pack of mad dogs, and they will never let go of themselves.

The more the master and servant thought about it, the more hopeless they became, and they couldn't help crying. At this point, it is really called that the sky should not be called the earth, if it is outside, it is a big deal to escape, but where can you escape in the deep palace? They can't grow wings like birds, can they?

Shao Nan was sad when he heard it, but he tried his best not to show it, took out the snacks in his arms and handed them to them, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's eat this first! It's still hot. ”

Lord Duanmin held the hot snack, and his tears couldn't help but flow down again.

Now they eat cold and rancid food every day, and sometimes they don't, and they are worse than beggars.

She never thought that she would one day end up here, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became.

She threw herself into Shao Nan's arms and cried.

The two maids also cried, begging Shao Nan and said, "Shao guard, please save the county lord!" The two of us will die if we die, but the county lord can't. ”

"Don't think about the bad for a while, hold on for a few more days, and I'll try to find a way." Shao Nan comforted, in fact, he was completely unsure in his heart.

"Do you have a dagger on you? Leave me a handful. Lord Duanmin wiped away his tears and asked Shao Nan: "Since the queen's accident, our sharp weapons here have been searched, and there is nothing to defend yourself at all. ”

Shao Nan took out a small dagger from his boots, held it in his hand and said, "County Lord, you have to promise me that this dagger can only be used for self-defense, and you must not use it to hurt yourself." ”

"Okay, I promise you." The county lord of Duanmin nodded solemnly and took the dagger.

"I can't stay here too long so as not to arouse suspicion." Shao Nan said helplessly: "But I'm patrolling around here, and I won't go far, so don't worry." ”

Lord Duanmin nodded reluctantly, now in this deep palace, only Shao Nan can bring her some warmth and security.

Shao Nan walked out of the dock, and the sky was already bright. In another hour, hundreds of officials will enter the palace, and in previous years, Uncle and Father and Shao Tong would participate in the Yuan Day Banquet, but this year's Yuan Day Banquet was not a Shao family.

Shao Tong and Shao Yang had already taken leave a year ago to visit their parents and clansmen.

A few days ago, I wrote a letter saying that it had arrived, and the family was fine, so there was no need to worry about it.

Wei Lanpei did not accompany the child because she was too young, so she went back to her parents' house to live, and took care of Mrs. Zhu by the way.
