Chapter 16: I Want to Be a Eunuch
The next day, Liu Ying mustered up enough courage, swaggered out the door, and explained to the two people at the door, "Go and talk to your master, I think about it." I'm going to be a eunuch. ”
The guard on the left side of the door popped, as if choked, looked up and down in disbelief, and asked, "What did you say?" You want to be a eunuch? I heard you right. ”
In this era, those who are willing to be eunuchs are generally the children of poor families, and it is difficult for the family to make a living, so the heart is stabbed into the palace, at least it can solve the problem of food and clothing, generally five or six years old, and there are very few people who are fifteen or sixteen years old and are willing to enter the palace to suffer this crime, not to mention that Liu Ying looks like a scholar who is a scholar.
"That's right, I'm going to be a eunuch." I'd rather be a eunuch than see your bastard master again.
The two attendants glanced at each other, and the other said, "You have to think clearly, you are not young anymore, and you have no children, if now... There may be a danger to your life, you... Why bother? ”
The two entourages in the house are not bad people, but they are under the eaves, and the master can only watch them obediently, seeing that Liuying is young and handsome, he can't help but feel a little pity for the jade, and can't help but persuade him.
Liuying shook her head and said, "Don't persuade the two big brothers, I'd rather die than ... Anyway, that's what happened, you guys go back. After saying that, he turned around and closed the door, ran back to the bed and silently wiped a handful of tears.
It's really moldy for eight lifetimes!
The two entourages outside the door looked at each other, and after a long time seeing that Liuying was no longer coming out, one of them sighed lightly and silently went to inform Liu Ye.
"What?" Liu Ye almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, "He said he was willing to go to the palace to be a little eunuch?" ”
"Not bad. That's what I said. A retinue replied with a lowered brow.
Liu Ye laughed angrily, "It's really quite backbone, this is to show me what it means to be willing to die and not give in." In that case, why should I be reluctant? You take him to the clean room in the palace early in the morning, and tell the father-in-law Yin who is in charge, and send him to the most unfavored concubine after purifying. ”
The entourage frowned slightly, answered yes, then bowed, turned to leave, and before he went out, Liu Ye suddenly said, "Wait." The entourage stopped, Liu Ye smiled coldly, and ordered, "You tell Gonggong Yin, this product is a hard bone, hemp boiling or something, you don't need to use it." ”
The entourage raised his head in astonishment, and finally couldn't help but reply, "Master Mingjian, if you don't need to boil numbly, I'm afraid it will hurt people to death." ”
"Then let him die." Liu Ye took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Seek benevolence, if he can stand through, he will follow his thoughts, if he can't stand it, he will be dragged to a mass grave and buried." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
The entourage was quite angry at Liu Ye's words and deeds, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he hurriedly returned to the side courtyard where Liuying lived after reluctantly bowing.
From a distance, the colleague who watched the door was waiting for the prime minister, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, laughing cat?" What did the master say? Is it reluctant? ”
The entourage, who was called the laughing cat, shook his head with a gloomy face, walked over and stood firmly, and said in a low voice, "The master said to ask for benevolence and be benevolent, let him be sent to the palace, and he will not be allowed to boil with hemp." ”
Another attendant's face turned pale, and he exclaimed, "Those who use medicine are all in pain, isn't the master bent on his life?" When will it be delivered? ”
The voice of the laughing cat was a little muffled, "Early tomorrow morning." ”
The man patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "We can't take care of the master's affairs, although it is a human life, but what can you do, you want to open some, it's not a parent,"
The laughing cat stopped talking, and looked back at the closed door, his face a little cloudy. It's not a parent, it's just that you have to be a little son of the Communist Party of China, why do you have to get along with orphans who have no father and no mother, this master is so ruthless, I'm afraid he is not a good master.
Early the next morning, the laughing cat rushed over early, and the two brothers who changed shifts at the door saw that he came early, and said with a smile, "Why did the cat come so early today, it seems that it is not yet an hour." ”
The laughing cat smiled slightly, and whispered, "The master ordered it yesterday, so take it away." Brothers don't have to do this drudgery from now on. ”
The two of them were overjoyed, and since the vigil, they had not gone out to have fun for several nights, but they were finally liberated. sighed again and again.
The laughing cat pushed the door in, only to see Liuying sitting at the table in a daze, not moving for breakfast, wearing the pajamas that he wore when he was caught a few days ago, already slightly wrinkled, looking thinner, pale, thinking that he had not slept well, seeing himself come in, he smiled slightly, and asked, "What did he say?" Have you figured out what to do with me? ”
The laughing cat suddenly felt a little unbearable, and replied in a low voice, "The master said to send you into the palace." ”
Liuying's face turned pale again, after all, it is one thing to make a decision, and it is another thing to really be sent to the palace to be stabbed. I have lived peacefully there for more than 20 years, and the most painful thing is just a physical examination and a blood draw. In this era, it is really unthinkable to have a hard operation.
If you don't get it right, you'll die.
Liuying stood up, her steps were a little vain, the laughing cat saw this and hurriedly helped her, Liuying bowed her head and thanked her, "Thank you, big brother." When are you going to take me away? ”
The laughing cat said with difficulty, "I'm going to take you into the palace now." ”
Liuying nodded, her face was as sad as the execution ground, her eyes were full of tears, she looked at the laughing cat and choked up, "I don't have anything left, let's go." ”
The laughing cat didn't dare to look at it anymore, suddenly remembered something, took out a long shirt from behind him and said, "This is the clothes I wear on weekdays, clean, you put it on, your clothes are not good to go out." ”
Liuying was a little surprised, and looked at him with a little warmth on her face. thanked him, stretched out his hand to take it, turned his back and began to dress, the laughing cat hurriedly turned around, his face was slightly red, and he felt strange in his heart, obviously the other party was also a man, why did he give himself the feeling of peeking at the girl.
After a moment, Hotaru whispered, "Alright." The laughing cat turned around, and saw that he was weak, and his clothes were a little wide, and he was even more petite, and he looked like a big girl in men's clothes, and his face was red, so he didn't dare to say more, and went out with Liuying.
There was nothing to say all the way, and I walked out of the back door of the Guogong Mansion and saw the small alley outside, Liuying finally let out a long breath, if it was fear before, then now there is only relief left, if she is allowed to choose again, she will still choose this path, let her follow Liu Ye, that slut, she doesn't even have the courage to live, now at least she is free.
The morning sun was a little dazzling, and the fluttering fireflies squinted their eyes, and continued to follow the laughing cat forward, running away, not without thinking, as long as they could run to their small apartment, what would they do if they didn't go out? At most, I broke in and saw an empty room.
It's just that if he really runs, he will definitely affect the second uncle and Chen Yuelou, and the most important thing is that Liu Ying feels that he has to be caught back if he runs less than 100 meters.
Let's go, let's go for a different career.
