After Hai Dafu died, Xiang Yan did not go to the big kitchen to eat, but ate in the room with Wei Xiaobao. After the two returned to the room, Xiang Yan found that the teapot on the table was missing.

Xiang Yan thought in his heart: "I obviously remember that the old eunuch didn't die at this time, and the old eunuch didn't die so early." And when gambling today, Wei Xiaobao said that he wanted to go to the toilet and left for a while. It must have been Wei Xiaobao who took advantage of this time to go back to the room and poisoned the old eunuch in the teapot, but those guards, eunuchs, and imperial doctors were unwilling to take care of it, so they took away the teapot containing poisonous tea as evidence, and concealed the news that the old eunuch was poisoned. It's just that how did Wei Xiaobao know that the old eunuch was not in the room during this time? If Wei Xiaobao had just met the old eunuch when he went back to the room to poison him, wouldn't it be very bad? ”

Thought again: "That's right." This palace was not opened by an old eunuch, how could an old eunuch sit in his room all day and night and do nothing? Since the old eunuch taught us kung fu in the room in the afternoon and rested in the room in the evening, I thought it would be time to go out in the morning to do things. Wei Xiaobao's brain was spinning so fast, I didn't even expect this. ”

In his heart, he was amazed at Wei Xiaobao: "This Wei Xiaobao is also a ruthless person, I just told him yesterday that the old eunuch had bad intentions towards him, and he poisoned the old eunuch to death today." It's not like I've always wanted the old eunuch to die, but I haven't figured out a way for days. Xiang Yan secretly despised himself in his heart, and strengthened his idea that he must not provoke Wei Xiaobao and must hug Wei Xiaobao's thigh.

The two of them didn't bother to eat, so they first went to the old eunuch's medicine box to look for the antidote. I saw that there were a lot of bottles and packets of pills in the medicine box, and there were also words written on the paper packets on the bottles. It's just that Xiang Yan doesn't know traditional Chinese characters at all, and Wei Xiaobao is even more semi-literate, the two of you look at me, I look at you, I really don't know which is the wound medicine and which is the poison.

Wei Xiaobao asked Xiang Yan, "Xiao Yan, which of these medicines do you think is the antidote?" Xiang Yan was moved and said, "Why don't we go and tell the emperor that we want to study medicine, and ask him to send a doctor to teach us medical skills." When we learn it, we will naturally know which one can detoxify. Wei Xiaobao sighed: "That's it." Xiang Yan said bitterly: "After we escape from the palace, we can't be beggars begging on the street!" It is better to take this opportunity to learn medicine in the palace first, which can be regarded as a craft. After leaving the palace, you can be a walking party to support yourself. Wei Xiaobao also smiled and said, "Yes."

Xiang Yan is not dead yet. I looked through the other boxes, and they were all old clothes and books. In addition, there were nine ingots of silver, each of which weighed twenty-five taels.

When the two of them were depressed, someone outside the door shouted: "Grandpa Gui, great joy, great joy!" Open the door. Wei Xiaobao opened the door and asked, "What kind of happy event?" There were three eunuchs standing outside the door, bowing to Wei Xiaobao in unison, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Grandpa Gui!"

Wei Xiaobao asked, "Why are you so polite?" A eunuch in his forties said with a smile: "Just now, the emperor issued a holy decree to the Internal Affairs Office, because Haida Fuhai's father-in-law died of illness, and the position of the deputy chief eunuch of Shangshan Jian was promoted by Gui Gonggong." Another eunuch smiled and said, "We didn't wait for the Minister of the Interior to convey the decree, so we came to congratulate you. In the future, it would be great for Gong Gui to be in charge of the food department. Wei Xiaobao returned to the inner room, took three ingots of silver, and each of them gave one ingot of silver for the reporting fee.

Another eunuch said: "There has never been a deputy chief in our palace as young as Gonggong Gui. There are fourteen chief eunuchs in the palace, eight deputy chief eunuchs, and only twenty-two top figures. As soon as Gonggong Gui rises today, he will be on an equal footing with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang tomorrow, which is really remarkable. Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "That's the emperor's grace, old ...... Old...... What's so great about me Gui Xiaobao? And he said, "Come on, come on, let's go and sit down in the house and have a cup of tea."

The middle-aged eunuch said: "The emperor's decree, the internal affairs office can only come at night." Everyone invited Father-in-law Gui to have a drink to celebrate Father-in-law's soaring. Father-in-law Gui, you are now a five-grade official, that's not small! The rest of the people followed and coaxed, and they were determined to go to drink with Rawei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao called Xiang Yan, locked the door, and went with a smile.

The three of them invited Wei Xiaobao to the royal room and respectfully invited him to sit in the chief. Among the three, two were Shang Shan Jian and one was sent by Liang Jiugong to the Internal Affairs Office to convey the holy decree. Wei Xiaobao doesn't know how to drink, so he talks nonsense to them.

As those people talked, they led the topic to Hai Dafu, and while patting Wei Xiaobao's ass, they belittled Hai Dafu without a trace. After drinking for a while, the two eunuchs of Shangshan Jian gradually mentioned that the life of a eunuch was hard, and they all had to make some oil and water. Please Wei Xiaobao not be as stubborn as Husband Hai, and everything must be done smoothly. Wei Xiaobao just promised and didn't agree.

After eating, the two eunuchs stuffed a small package into Wei Xiaobao's hand. When I went back to the house and opened it, it turned out to be two silver tickets, each with a thousand taels. Wei Xiaobao handed Xiang Yan a silver ticket and said with a smile: "Those who see it have a share, I will share it with you." Xiang Yan hesitated, took the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "Thank you." He added: "I was worried just now that we would become beggars if we couldn't live after leaving the palace, but I didn't expect to take so much silver now." It seems that even if we leave the palace now, we will be able to live well. Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded.
