142 The old eunuch's speculation

Light gray, thick silk mist, when a little thinner. The chief eunuch Li Gonggong came to the corridor on the east side of the "Imperial Mausoleum" "with wind under his feet"!

However, he found that only Xiao Anzi, a beggar adopted by his master, was standing by the north gate of the palace backyard. Looking at the corridor on the west side, he scratched his ears and muttered to himself: Hey, I don't know if Chongxi, the eldest prince of the East Palace, will return here? Do I want to stay here and wait for him?

Around him, there was not a single figure. Not to mention the concubines and concubines of the harem, standing there with shovels on their shoulders!

Seeing this, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, couldn't help but think secretly: Because the second prince of the East Palace, Chongxi and Prince Chongzhen, were angry, Xiao Anzi, who lived by begging, was able to enter the palace. Not only did he live a carefree life, but the emperor also allowed him to practice martial arts and literacy with the masters of the two princes of the East Palace!

Thinking about it like this, he was sure in his heart: it stands to reason that he would definitely not agree to the women in the harem carrying shovels to enter the "imperial tomb" "inside and out". Digging up the tomb of Chongxi, the second prince who indirectly became his benefactor, it is even more impossible to directly leak relevant information to them!

Soon, another question flashed in his mind: If the eldest prince Chongxi coaxed the emperor, it would not do him and his mother-in-law any good. Hey, what's going on?

Unable to think of a suitable answer, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, strode to the "Imperial Mausoleum". Lowered his voice and said: Xiao Anzi, the eldest prince of the East Palace told the emperor. Those concubines and concubines in the harem came here with shovels, probably because they wanted to go in and dig the grave of the second prince! Now, what about them?

Hearing this, you don't have to look back. Xiao Anzi can also hear it: This sissy voice comes from someone's mouth!

He hurriedly turned around, bent down and said humbly: Gonggong Li, the little one will give you a greeting first!

People who have lived in the deep courtyard of the palace for many years know that Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, is also a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Usually, as long as I meet him, I will always give him a courtesy!

Although, Xiao Anzi entered the palace life "thanks to the emperor's grace" when he was a child. However, the blood flowing in his bones cannot become a royal vein!

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone in the deep courtyard of the palace. Dressed in royal clothes, he is still an out-and-out poor boy!

During the New Year's holidays, the master in charge of the "respectful room" was ordered by the emperor to invite folk operas to sing operas to help the fun. He will definitely dress Xiao Anzi in an extremely ugly dress and paint a colorful face on his cheeks. Tell him to play the role of a joker!

Over time, the young Anzi got used to it. To put it bluntly, it is to watch the eunuchs and palace maids "perform great gifts" to all the royal family and the chief eunuch Li Gonggong every day. He vaguely understood: although he was wearing the clothes of the two princes of the East Palace, he was at best exactly the same as these eunuchs and palace maids!

Right now, Xiao Anzi's voice fell to the ground. He lifted the hem of his robe and bent his knees, and gave a big salute to Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch!

If he had met this young man in normal times, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, would definitely accept his great gift with a calm demeanor. But today, he was instructed by Emperor Yongxi, but when he came to the "Imperial Mausoleum", he couldn't see the person he wanted to speak!

At this time, he was worried that the emperor was still waiting for him to report the situation here in the "Diligent Administration Palace". But I'm not in the mood to accept any big gifts!

The chief eunuch Li Gonggong quickly grabbed Xiao Anzi, who was about to kneel, and said anxiously: The miscellaneous family came here early this morning, not to enjoy your gift. But he came to pass the word with the emperor's words! You should hurry up and make it clear, have you seen those noble concubines and concubines in the harem come here with shovels?

As soon as his words landed, the listener said without thinking: Back to Gonggong Li, the little one followed Chongxi, the eldest prince of the East Palace, here----

Hearing this, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, hurriedly interrupted: Xiao Anzi, talk on the side of the road. There are still people hiding in the grass nest! It is not appropriate to talk much here, you hurry up and say the most important thing. The emperor is still waiting for the miscellaneous family to go back and report!

When Xiao Anzi heard this, he suddenly realized that he had indeed said too much. Just changed the conversation and said: Back to Gonggong Li, the little one and the eldest prince of the East Palace, Chongxi, have seen Lin Guiren and those noble concubines and concubines come here with shovels. It's just that they saw us standing at the door of the "Imperial Tomb". I knew in my heart that I couldn't fight us, so I left here!

However, the chief eunuch Li Gonggong was a thoughtful person. What he thought in his heart was diametrically opposed to the young man in front of him. He said quietly: Xiao Anzi, didn't you ask why these concubines and concubines came here with shovels? When they saw you standing here, they didn't say anything and turned away from here?

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi said with trepidation: Back to Gonggong Li, the little one asked Lin Guiren and those noble concubines and concubines why they came here. They said that yesterday they saw a lot of wild chrysanthemums blooming in the "Imperial Mausoleum" from afar, so they agreed to take advantage of the opportunity before dawn today. Bring a shovel to dig some and bring it back to the palace to enjoy!

When Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, heard this, he lowered his face and said: Xiao Anzi, you are really an elm pimple head. I can't think of any wild chrysanthemums in the "Imperial Mausoleum" that can't be named. Lin Guiren and those concubines and concubines are playing tricks with you!

As he spoke, his heart couldn't help but jump wildly. The conversation changed suddenly: In this way, do you agree with them to enter the "Imperial Tomb" to dig wild chrysanthemums?

Xiao Anzi didn't dare to look at the tense face of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, and said busily: Back to Gonggong Li, Lin Guiren and those concubines and concubines said the reason for this. They're all out of here! The little one also thought that they were discussing the plan of "entering the imperial tomb" together, but about half of the incense had passed. None of them came here again!

Speaking of this, he raised his head and pointed to the corridor on the west side and said: The little one immediately chased after the direction they left and looked more than four meters away, but he didn't see a single figure. Therefore, we dare to conclude that they saw me standing at the door of the "Imperial Tomb". Knowing that I couldn't fight my martial arts, I had no choice but to disperse back to my respective palaces!

The tense nerves of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, were all loosened immediately. The knot in his heart opened, and the long-suppressed resentment floated out of his mouth for a long time!

Immediately after, what floated out was his muttering: The emperor hasn't figured out a way yet, and they haven't entered. That's it! They didn't get in, so it's fine. If you don't enter, you ----

The abnormal scene in front of him shocked Xiao Anzi, who was standing next to him, at a loss. He didn't know what to say, so he could only look at the old eunuch in front of him dumbfounded!

He is just a member of the human family, and he cannot be an inconspicuous mosquito, a fly, or a roundworm like a god. Get into the old eunuch's abdomen and find out!

At this moment, of course, Xiao Anzi will not know: What is this old eunuch thinking in his heart? What did he mean by repeating these words that couldn't have been simpler?

Suddenly, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, opened his squinted eyes. When he woke up from a dream, he patted his head and exclaimed: Oops, they have all gathered together and carried shovels here. How could they disperse so easily and return to the palace? Oh my god, it's not going to be that simple!

The words popped out, and he turned to the young man next to him with blazing eyes and said, "Xiao Anzi, are you sure they all walked to the west corridor just now?"

Xiao Anzi nodded politely twice, and said inexplicably: Well, yes. They just walked up the west hallway, and then they all disappeared! Do you always think this. Do you have any ulterior questions?

Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, saw that the young man in front of him had a displeased look on his face. He was not in a hurry to defend himself, but said lightly: Xiao Anzi, you martial arts practitioners generally have the martial art of "Ling Bo Weibu". Now, you might as well fly to the palace of Lin Guiren and those noble concubines and concubines. When we get back, let's make up our minds!

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi suddenly realized and said: Gonggong Li, you always let the little one "find out". I don't know, will Chongxi, the eldest prince of the East Palace, return here? You stay here in case he comes back. So you can know where we went?

Speaking of this, he opened his arms and flew away from the "Imperial Mausoleum" with one move of "Harrier Soaring to the Sky".

At the same time, the chief eunuch who remained in place, Gonggong Li. I couldn't help but put my hands together and raised them to my chest, looking up at the sky that had gradually turned white and shining, and muttered like a mosquito: God, I hope that Lin Guiren and those noble concubines and concubines really returned to their respective palaces. The miscellaneous family's speculations are all wrong, and the doubts that arise leisurely in our hearts. It's just "mediocrity disturbing themselves"!

As soon as the words popped out, his heart jumped wildly again without warning. Hey, who made him a celebrity around the emperor? Otherwise, the emperor was extremely afraid of Empress Hua's two elder brothers with evil arts. How would he know?

If you are just an ordinary eunuch. Just now, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, would definitely not speculate for no reason: Lin Guiren and those concubines and concubines saw Xiao Anzi standing at the door of the "Imperial Mausoleum", and they thought of the clues that "Chongxi, the second prince of the East Palace, is dead". will say the excuse of perfunctory Xiao Anzi, and then they all leave here and go to Queen Hua's palace to stimulate her!

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Finally, he didn't dare to think about it anymore!

Since he couldn't continue to think about the unimaginable things, the chief eunuch Li Gonggong could only shake his head twice. Turning his eyes to the flowers, trees, and tombs in the "Imperial Tomb", he reached out and pinched the muscles of his thighs twice from time to time. I just let the frequent pain feel force myself to stop thinking about things!

Suddenly, he saw wisps of green smoke squeezing out of the middle of the "Imperial Tomb" one after another. It's like a few graceful dancers, dancing and disappearing into the air!

The scene in front of him was so shocked that Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, couldn't help shouting: Oh no, it must be Chongxi, the eldest prince of the East Palace, who burned paper money inside. Lin Guiren and those concubines and concubines must have seen these puffs of green smoke wafting out of the "Imperial Mausoleum" and Xiao Anzi standing at the door. That's what they guessed!

As soon as the cry came out, his heart "snorted" and tore like a fierce pain. While stretching out his hand and rubbing his heart, he said with luck: Fortunately, when the emperor left the "Changle Palace". Ordered Guards Li, Ju Guards, Cai Guards, and Wu Guards to stay at the edge of the arc-shaped circular holes on the four sides of the "Changle Palace", and do their best to prevent all those in the know from entering the "Changle Palace"!

While comforting himself, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, looked around and no one walked here. I picked up a green brick and quickly ran to the black iron gate of the "Imperial Mausoleum", and when I lifted the green brick and smashed it at the iron lock, I found that the lock ring was open!

Pushing open the big iron door and rushing in, he muttered unconsciously and sneered: The Royal Forest Army and the brocade guards who came here to carry out their mission last night forgot to lock the door before leaving after finishing their work. It's so negligent and incompetent!

In a grunt, the chief eunuch Li Gonggong had rushed to the new tomb. Hurriedly stretched out his legs and stepped on a large pile of paper money that was still burning, and his mouth was not idle: Hey, this East Palace prince Chongxi didn't step on the fire before leaving. It's really "not enough to succeed and more than to lose"!

finally stepped on many small flames that stuck out his head to poke his brain, and he couldn't take a break because of his old age. Panting, he came out and locked the big iron door, and then squatted down and exhaled a long breath and said: Fortunately, the soil of the new tomb is relatively wet, and this morning is another big haze day. Otherwise, so much unburned paper money would definitely ignite the hay in front of those old graves. It's dangerous!

There was a "poof" explosion, and a figure landed in front of him. Immediately after that, a familiar voice entered his ears: Gonggong Li, the little one has been to the palaces of Lin Guiren and those noble concubines and concubines. I found that only their old mothers and maids were embroidering inside!

As soon as his words landed, the face of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, suddenly turned pale. He trembled his lips and said: My God, it was all guessed by the miscellaneous family. Xiao Anzi, take the miscellaneous family to the "Changle Palace" to have a look!

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi was shocked and said: Gonggong Li, what do you mean. Lin Guiren and those concubines and concubines have already guessed everything ----!

"Chongxi, the second prince of the East Palace, is dead" is about to pop out of his mouth. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly squeezed out two other words, "everything" instead!

At the same time, Xiao Anzi saw the old eunuch opposite nodding his head with difficulty. He shook his head like a "rattle in the merchant's hand", and said extremely unwillingly: Gonggong Li, we didn't reveal a word. How did they guess that? Don't scare us anymore, you can say that our hearts are like "breaking into fifteen cats"!

The chief eunuch Li Gonggong suddenly pulled him around, pointing to the little green smoke wafting in the middle of the "Imperial Mausoleum". sighed and said: Hey, the miscellaneous family would rather believe that he is "suspicious" and thinks too much. However, this phenomenon is not the same as you standing at the gate of the "Imperial Mausoleum". That's it all!

Seeing this, Xiao Anzi couldn't help but stick out his tongue in fright and exclaimed: Oh, that's what happened. OMG!

As soon as the words landed, his heart "swooped" to the bottom of his throat. He reached out and shaved his ear vigorously, and then cursed himself viciously: I am such a bastard, I should be cut with a thousand cuts. You should never be reborn!

Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, grabbed one of his arms quickly, and said hurriedly: Xiao Anzi, things have inevitably happened. What's the use of blaming yourself? Let's take me to the "Changle Palace" quickly!

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi suddenly realized and said: Father-in-law Li, I almost forgot that I still have big things to do today. Thank you for the reminder!

As he spoke, he put one hand around the waist of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch. With a wave of the other hand, it flew in the direction of "Changle Palace"!
