After coming out of the prison, Xia Chutao returned to his Qingquan Hall in a fixed place.

Just went in and took off his clothes, and he saw Nanzhu who was a little panicked.

"Auntie, where did this go......"

Nanzhu looked at Xia Chutao's line, and didn't react for a while, but felt that it was strange.

"Don't ask."

But Xia Chutao just took off the outer cloak on his body, stretched out his hand and handed it to Nanzhu, and Nanzhu had no choice but to keep silent and didn't ask anything more.

Seeing that Xia Chutao was about to go inside steadily, Nanzhu seemed to stop Xia Chutao with some hesitation.

"Auntie, there is an old eunuch at the side door who said he wants to see you."

Xia Chutao's steps stopped, and she looked at Nanzhu with some surprise.

"Old eunuch?"

She just felt that she could only be regarded as a newcomer in this palace, and the age of the palace bricks in this palace was worth several of her, why was an old eunuch coming up at this time? It's really weird.

"Do you know this old eunuch?"

But Nanzhu shook his head, and looked at his expression as if he was puzzled.

"The maid is also a palace person who has not been in the palace for a long time, there are many old people here, and the maid doesn't know it, but I don't know why I want to find my aunt."

Xia Chutao pondered for a moment and asked again.

"When did you come?"

"I've been here before, but I said that I wouldn't leave if I didn't see my aunt, and I've been waiting at the side door for a while. The maid originally wanted to go to her aunt's room to call, but after calling a few times, no one answered, so she didn't go in to disturb, it turned out that the aunt was out. ”

"Hmm."

Xia Chutao nodded, which means that she knows about this matter.

"Don't tell anyone else what you brought up today, if you do things well under my hands, there are benefits for you."

Nanzhu remembered what happened to the jade pot before, and when she heard Xia Chutao say this, she couldn't help but shiver, and then nodded busily.

"Yes."

At the beginning of summer, the peach reached out to ask for the palace lamp in Nanzhu's hand,

"I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, he walked out of the main hall again and came to the side door of the Qingquan Hall.

Although this side door is open on a more conspicuous wall of the Qingquan Palace, it has not been used for a long time, and it can even be said to be in disrepair, and the red lacquer marks on it cannot be seen, and they fall off one by one into a decaying appearance, which is enough to see how long this Qingquan Hall has a long history.

Xia Chutao came silently all the way to the side door of the Qingquan Palace, and sure enough, he saw that the side door that was closed every day was open at this time, and there was also a palace lamp waiting there.

Xia Chutao stepped forward and saw that it was indeed an old eunuch, and he could know that the side door of this palace could still be opened, and he was afraid that he was really the old man in this palace.

"Father-in-law."

At the beginning of Xia, Tao respected that the other party was an old man, and he was a senior in this palace, so he held on to the palace lamp and saluted the old eunuch.

"Auntie is very polite."

The old eunuch also trembled and replied to Xia Chutao, it could be seen that he was really old, and the whole person was rickety, and he looked weak in the evening breeze.

"Why did my father-in-law come to Qingquan Hall to look for me so late?"

Xia Chutao smiled faintly and asked softly.

"I'm here to send an apprentice to my aunt."

The old eunuch also smiled, but said something that he couldn't understand.

"Apprentice?"

Xia Chutao thought carefully about the manpower of the Shangyi Bureau, and said to the old eunuch.

"But the Shangyi Bureau is not short of manpower now, can my father-in-law send it to another place to see?"

There are also such rules in the palace, and when some children are sent to the palace, their parents still take some money to make a point, so that the older people in the palace will think of ways to stuff these children to some better places, so as to save a lot of suffering from just entering the palace.

It's just that Xia Chutao felt strange that he was not familiar with the old eunuch in front of him, and the old eunuch in Weihai City wanted to send people to his place.

"Auntie, this apprentice, I really have to accept it, otherwise there will be no place for this child."

When Xia Chutao heard this, he felt that the old eunuch's words were a little tricky, and they all said that there was no shortage of manpower here, why did this old eunuch still say such things.

Just when he wanted to have a seizure, he saw the old eunuch beckoning behind him, but he came out with a familiar face of Xia Chutao.

"Sister Xia."

Xia Chutao's eyes widened and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise, this so-called junior apprentice was none other than the eleventh prince who had not been seen for a while, Xia Chutao was completely stunned.

"You...... You. ”

Since he transferred all the people from the hiding place in Wangcheng, Xia Chutao has not seen the eleventh prince for a while, although he is worried about the safety of such a young child in the troubled times, but during the previous period of time, Xia Chutao and Fu Rin were unable to protect themselves, and they really had no intention of caring for others, but they didn't expect the eleventh prince to appear in front of him so at this time.

"This ......"

Xia Chutao looked at the old eunuch very puzzled, and the old eunuch's eyes obviously knew the identity of the eleventh prince, but he just said to Xia Chutao.

"The eleventh prince used to be taken care of by his aunt before, and now he is sent to the palace, but I am afraid that he will have to continue to bother his aunt."

But at the beginning of summer, the peach was very puzzled.

"How could he enter the palace? Why? ”

"It was arranged like this by the old ministry of the first emperor."

The old eunuch also said it directly, without the slightest intention to hide it, but Xia Chutao was stunned.

"Crazy, do you know how much of a threat his entry into the palace is to His Majesty today? If his identity is known to others, how bloody will this be? He is still just a child, and the first emperor finally asked people to scatter his blood, so it's better for you to loosen it back? ”

Xia Chutao is very puzzled by this approach, putting everything on a child, which inevitably shows that these scheming people are very selfish.

"Auntie, I'm afraid you don't know the undercurrent of the previous dynasty, Your Majesty knows very well that the first emperor has sent out his bloodline, and at this time he is wantonly searching, the eleventh prince is very important, it is good to send it to the palace at this time, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, as long as the aunt does not disclose it, there is nothing."

Xia Chutao felt that it was inappropriate, she felt as if she was inexplicably involved in a political-struggle because of the eleventh prince.

"What do you want to do? Today, the saint has just sat on the dragon chair, and the settlement in this world has just stabilized, what are you planning? Even if you want to plot, the Eleventh Prince is innocent. ”

But the old eunuch had a calm face, and his eyes were even more resolute, Xia Chutao even saw in the eyes of this old eunuch that ordinary eunuchs did not have, and vaguely felt that this old eunuch was probably not a simple person before.

"Auntie just needs to do it like this, the eleventh prince has nowhere to go now, if the aunt feels that it is inappropriate, at this time, she can directly ask someone to arrest the eleventh prince and take him to your majesty."

"You-"

Xia Chutao was speechless for a while, she felt that the old eunuch in front of her had decided that she would not report this matter, and deliberately threatened herself with the eleventh prince.

The eleventh prince did not speak, although it was at night, but the light in his eyes was very cold.

"Since my aunt has no objection, the old slave will retire first."

After saying that, the old eunuch left, very simply, and just left the eleventh prince directly by Xia Chutao's side.

Xia Chutao couldn't say anything, the eleventh prince was in front of her, she really couldn't do it directly, she couldn't tell the child directly, she couldn't do it.

She looked at the eleventh prince with a calm face, such a child with such a heart is indeed rare, with a composure that should not be at this age, but it has always made Xia Chutao feel very strange.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Xia Chutao slowly knelt down and asked the eleventh prince like this.

But what he didn't expect was that the eleventh prince glanced at Xia Chutao, and then said with a smile.

"I don't know what my aunt is saying that will make me afraid, I just know that I want to get back everything that belongs to me."

This sentence frightened Xia Chutao and directly covered the mouth of the eleventh prince.

"You can't talk nonsense about some things, this is in the palace, and now you are not the eleventh prince, you have to be careful in everything, if you make any mistakes, I may not be able to protect you."

Seeing that the eleventh prince nodded, Xia Chutao loosened the mouth of the eleventh prince, and heard the eleventh prince nod.

"Got it."

"Since you have entered the palace and are also doing things in the Shangyi Bureau, you have to have a name, I can't call you a prince, right?"

"Let's call it Eleven."

The eleventh prince was really calm, including when he said this, he didn't think much about it, and just replied like this, as if he had thought about it a long time ago.

"It's good ......"

Xia Chutao stood up slowly, I have to say that the eleventh prince is more mature and stable than before, Xia Chutao feels that during this time, I am afraid that the eleventh prince has also experienced a lot outside, which is to usher in this transformation.

At the beginning of the summer, Tao led Eleven back to the Qingquan Palace, and after entering the door, he saw Nanzhu waiting.

Nanzhu didn't know why Xia Chutao was able to bring a child back when she went out, but before she could ask anything, she heard Xia Chutao say lightly.

"This child's name is Eleven, and he was sent by the old eunuch and said that he was his apprentice, and it was such a baby pimple, and he gave me a little benefit and said that he wanted to stay in the Qingquan Palace."

Xia Chutao thought about it carefully and said to Nanzhu.

"So let's take it down, I remember that Si Yao lacks a copyist, and he happens to be suitable."

"Yes."
