Many times, beauty is an advantage, especially a weapon to power and wealth.

Sometimes, however, for a woman who is helpless and has a low status, beauty is often synonymous with trouble.

In the palace, as a little palace maid, what is worse than being favored by the emperor and being jealous of the concubine and causing a series of unlucky things?

It was favored by powerful eunuchs......

Zhiwei was very unlucky to meet a lascivious eunuch.

Since ancient times, inside the imperial city and outside the inner palace have always been the places where the official offices of the various departments and yamen are located. Most of the six ministries and other large and small yamen bureaus are in the south, and the lowly internal management bureaus like the Huanyi Bureau can only be crowded in the northwest corner. Therefore, there are many eunuchs from other bureaus who often come and go in this area.

Zhi Wei was the old eunuch she bumped into when she was fetching things for someone, about forty or so, the folds on her face were about to bloom, but her eyes staring at Zhi Wei were extraordinarily bright, like a wolf who had been hungry for ten days and half a month.

At that time, she felt that something was wrong, and she slipped away as soon as she finished her errand, and after a few days of calm, the old eunuch entered the Huanyi Bureau to find Father-in-law Zhang, who was in charge.

Zhi Wei watched the two of them talking together from a distance, and she didn't know what she was talking about, but she saw that Grandpa Zhang was smiling very happily, with a hint of teasing. Before the old eunuch finally left, he looked at her with a smile a few times, and saw that her cold hair stood on end.

No matter how dull Zhi Wei was, she could guess the old eunuch's thoughts.

It happened that Lian Zhu found a gap to see her, and after hearing about this, he was very worried about her, and complained: "You said that you, if you had obeyed the meaning of the one in the palace before, you wouldn't be coveted by that old thing now, right?" ”

She hesitated and hesitated, and finally said in the volume of mosquitoes: "Being a woman of Your Majesty, although every step is terrifying, it is always better than being forced, right?" ”

Zhi Wei sighed.

It is undeniable that Lianzhu's idea is not wrong, and from the perspective of maximizing benefits, it is of course better to choose one of the two than the former. Although the risks are high, the expected returns are also large.

She forced herself to cheer herself up: "You're a little worried, aren't you?" Although I have no one to rely on now, anyone can throw a bunch of work for me to do, but that kind of thing ...... It has always been forbidden in the palace. Although that person is an internal official supervisor, he is only the leader of the eighth grade. If he really forced me, I would be able to give up this face and make trouble! ”

Lian Zhu said worriedly: "How can I not know this truth, I'm afraid that it is a difficult ghost." If he stumbles on you, it's bad! ”

Zhi Wei secretly made up her mind that she would shrink into a corner as a washerman every day and not go anywhere, so that she wouldn't run into that person, right?

However, the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

Only a few days later, Gonggong Zhang suddenly ordered Zhiwei to deliver the clothes, or to Ci'an Palace.

Father-in-law Zhang originally looked at Zhi Wei and frowned coldly, Zhi Wei could find an excuse to refuse other people's requests, and this errand assigned by the top boss did not dare not do it.

She had to follow a little eunuch out with the newly washed and dried clothes of the concubines, all the way safe, to Ci'an Palace, and met with Qingqiu, said a few words, and gradually relaxed.

However, something happened on the way back.

Halfway through, the little eunuch suddenly said that he was upset, and he went to find a thatched house nearby.

Zhi Wei couldn't, so she could only go back alone, and subconsciously quickened her pace.

Just when the dilapidated roof of the Huanyi Bureau could be seen from a distance, the footsteps of a second person suddenly appeared on the silent palace road.

Zhiwei's scalp was numb, and she couldn't care about any palace rules and manners, so she immediately trotted up.

However, she clearly underestimated the speed and strength of the arrivals.

After only a few steps away, a strong force grabbed her by the collar and pulled her backwards.

When she heard the old eunuch's smug chuckle, Zhi Wei was angry and afraid, and her eyes turned a little black.

She gritted her teeth, turned around and was about to scratch the head and face, but the next second she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and she was knocked unconscious by the man's knife.

When she woke up, Zhiwei was horrified to find that she was no longer on the palace road, but in a dimly lit room. There were no furnishings, it was very shabby, and there was a musty smell in the air that had not seen the light of day.

By the dim light of the candle, she quickly judged that this was not the old eunuch's house, and that there was probably no one else living in it.

Maybe he knocked out the empty house she found casually, or maybe it was the place he used to do this kind of dirty business!

Although I don't know why he is not in the house, Zhiwei will not waste time here. She thought for only two seconds, then quickly got up and felt for the door.

Before her hand could touch the door, it creaked open. The old eunuch happened to come in with wine and food, and there was a soft smile on his face.

"Yo, wake up? It seems that the body is not bad, just right, come on, let's have a glass of wine first~"

Zhi Wei took half a step back, and forcibly endured the disgust in her heart, trying to act innocent, and pretending not to hear the second half of his sentence.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with me? I just seem to have fainted outside, did you save me? ”

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and smiled even more happily.

"Yes, I saw you a little girl lying on the side of the road, and I rescued you with my hand. Didn't it be said in that play that the grace of saving lives should be promised by oneself? Miss Zhiwei, my heart ...... you"

Zhi Wei was almost disgusted by this shameless old thing, and smiled at him even harder.

"Thank you father-in-law for saving me...... It's just that it seems to be getting dark, I, I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back and hand me over, and Steward Zhang will punish me if I'm late. ”

The old eunuch said disapprerovantly: "What is the punishment? Don't worry, with our family, he won't punish you. If you're hungry, come over and eat some food and drinks, today is the end of our marriage. ”

Zhiwei was so angry that her temples jumped suddenly.

Sure enough, today's incident is absolutely inseparable from Steward Zhang! Maybe it's just two people, no, the three of them conspired to do it!

Zhi Wei also held a grudge against the seemingly loyal little eunuch, and now the only thing she was glad about was that she was not tied hand and foot, if she could catch the opportunity and escape while she was unprepared, it was estimated that there was still hope.

She glanced at the old eunuch timidly, hesitated a few steps towards him, and walked over slowly. Then, the small nose twitched, as if the smell of the wine and food had been seduced.

The old eunuch was overjoyed, and said secretly, although this little girl looks good, she is stupid inside, and she thinks of us as the people who saved her, haha, I knew that it was so troublesome, just make up a few lies and coax it over, and I won't owe Lao Zhang a favor.

Anyway, the opportunity is rare, so it's better to enjoy the beauty quickly. When the time comes, the little girl will lose her innocence, and the handle will be in his hand, and it will not be whatever he wants!

The old eunuch forced the wine glass into Zhiwei's hand and grinned to clink glasses with her.

Zhi Wei intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this wine, where did she dare to drink it, but she couldn't think of any good countermeasures for a while, and the corner of her eyes stared at the door that the old eunuch closed casually when he came in.

Maybe it was inconvenient to tie the door with wine and food in her hand at the time, or maybe she relaxed her vigilance after entering the door and found that she was stupid and deceitful, and the door was not closed, which became the biggest help for her to escape. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to run away without knocking out or killing the old eunuch!

As soon as she hesitated, the old eunuch narrowed his eyes: "Why don't you drink it?" ”

Zhi Wei snorted: "I, I can't drink, I have a rash on my body since I was a child......

The old eunuch stared at her suspiciously, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay if you don't drink, then let's eat vegetables." You see, it's so late, and you don't have anything to eat when you go back, why don't you go back when you're full? ”

Zhi Wei blinked, slowly picked up the chopsticks, casually put a piece in her mouth, and chewed it delicately.

The old eunuch seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and drank two glasses of wine in succession, and his face soon became a little weird flush.

Zhi Wei was still eating the food slowly, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Zhi Wei's left hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, little beauty, tonight is the night of candles in our cave room......"

The old eunuch still had a smug smile on his face, but he didn't expect that the next second, his eyes hurt, and it was the chopsticks in Zhiwei's right hand that poked straight over.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately closed his eyes, and the sharp chopsticks did not poke the eyeballs, but only hit the eyelids.

The old eunuch was furious, and pinched Zhi Wei's left wrist even harder, as if he wanted to crush her bones.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he was subjected to another terrifying scene.

Following the chopsticks attack, the blazing fire rushed towards his eyes again, and the burning pain made him wail, and he subconsciously let go of Zhiwei's hand.

The old eunuch hurriedly took two steps back, feeling that the burning heat was far away from him, and then carefully covered his face and broke away his eyes.

At this time, his heart was full of remorse, what a naïve and stupid fool, he was really deceived by this little girl!

What kind of cave room is there to spend candles and hand over a glass of wine, look at her murderous appearance, even chopsticks, red candles and other things can be used to "murder her husband", it is really too embarrassing!

But the old eunuch was not such a cowardly character, after the initial shock, he was aroused by Zhiwei's resistance to another psychological level of conquest.

He scolded and scolded: "You little bitch, don't be ashamed, for a while-"

Who knows, before the cruel words were finished, the old eunuch felt a pain in his chest.

Looking down, the red candle had been taken down by Zhi Wei at some point, and the end of the pointed candlestick had sunk into his body.

The hand holding the bottom of the candlestick was slender and white, and it looked so thin, but it was clenched so tightly that it almost protruded from the joints, and the green tendon on the back of the hand was like an angry green dragon, glaring at him coldly like its owner.

"Stop! You-"

The candlestick was pushed forward harder, and the old eunuch's eyes were wide open and he did not speak, and his mouth opened wider, but he could not say anything but the sound of ho-ho.
