Chapter 257: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Xiao Linzi saw the silver ticket in his hand, his eyes were about to pop out, he had never seen such a large denomination of silver tickets when he was so big, this is the money he could earn without eating or drinking in the palace for ten years.
Xiao Linzi's sister Shuangyue was also very surprised, but she was obviously calmer than Xiao Linzi, she first crawled out of the hole, patted the dust on her body, and then snatched the silver ticket, and then said to Xiao Linzi with a puzzled face: "You go to the side to see if anyone passes by, leave this matter to me."
Zhu Gui could see that Xiao Linzi still trusted his sister very much, and he immediately went to do so after hearing Shuangyue's words.
Shuangyue looked at Zhu Gui with a vigilant face and said, "Who are you?" The little eunuch in the palace would not take out so much money casually. ”
Zhu Gui seemed to have been prepared for this, and he said with a smile: "I am an errand under the steward eunuch, and this amount of money is not a small amount for me, if it weren't for my friend who is very important to me, I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money." ”
"It's very easy for you, and you don't have to worry about money anymore, it's a win-win for us, of course, if you don't want to, I can go to someone else."
Zhu Gui said that she was about to get the silver ticket back, and Shuangyue showed a struggling and hesitant look on her face, but when Zhu Gui's hand was about to touch the silver ticket, she withdrew her hand back.
"What? Do you want to grab money? All I have to do now is shout to attract the guards, and no one will have a good time. Zhu Gui knew in his heart that the other party had been fooled, but he still had to make a show on the surface.
Shuangyue hurriedly said: "Gonggong Gui, don't misunderstand, we took this job, Xiaolinzi, come here, we have to go back again." ”
When Xiao Linzi heard this, he hurriedly ran over, and Shuangyue stuffed the silver ticket into Xiao Linzi's arms, and then slapped it a few times hard and said, "If something happens, you run first, don't care about me, go back and take good care of your father." ”
Xiao Linzi immediately said, "Sister, what are you talking about?" How could I leave you behind? Besides, I'm a eunuch, so I can't pass on the lineage to our family, and the Lin family still needs you to continue the incense. ”
Zhu Gui saw that the two of them looked like they were parting from life and death, and couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and quickly interrupted: "It's almost okay, this hasn't happened yet, can you save your tears first?" ”
The two wiped their tears and began to crawl back with an 'oh'.
Soon the three of them climbed through the hole in the ground and entered the harem.
They were located behind a few laurel trees, and from here they could see chickens and dogs jumping outside.
Not all the little eunuchs and palace maids were willing to accompany the burial, but their resistance was in vain, and there were already many corpses lying in the courtyard.
And there are many heart-warming little eunuchs who want to take over these martyrs, so the entire harem is extremely chaotic.
Shuangyue and Xiao Linzi were obviously the ones who were lucky enough to escape, but the two of them were also very flustered at this time.
Shuangyue whispered to Zhu Gui, "Father-in-law Gui, where is your friend?" If he's been captured or dead, it's none of our business. ”
Zhu Gui frowned and nodded, but did not speak.
Concubine Guo Hui, as the favorite concubine of the first emperor, naturally will not fall into the same fate as these palace maids and eunuchs.
However, Zhu Gui can also imagine that the dormitory where Concubine Guo Hui is located may be heavily guarded.
How do you get in?
Zhu Gui saw the team of eunuchs who were following the rules and walking towards the deep palace behind the guards.
That's right, he thought of the routine of fishing in troubled waters again.
So soon, Zhu Gui seized the opportunity to stun the two little eunuchs who walked at the end of the line, and then he and Xiao Linzi mixed in.
As for Frost Moon, Zhu Gui asked him to wait in the cave, and if there was any danger, she could decide to stay.
With the sister-brother relationship between Shuangyue and Xiaolinzi, Shuangyue may not leave, but this is no longer important to Zhu Gui.
These new little eunuchs all have number plates on them, which are used to distinguish them from the eunuchs in the palace.
Along the way, Zhu Gui saw the chaos in the harem at the time of the alternation of status, which was the least written and inked in the history books, but it was very dark.
Even though Zhu Gui had been on the battlefield several times, this scene still made him feel palpitating.
And such a thing does not know how many times in history it has happened.
The emotion in Zhu Gui's heart gradually turned into numbness.
It wasn't until he passed by the dormitory where Concubine Guo Hui was that he beckoned Xiao Linzi to break away from the team.
It's just that there are guards guarding the entrance of the dormitory, and the inside doesn't seem to be as chaotic as the outside.
Zhu Gui wanted to go in, but was stopped by two guards at the door.
"Stop, do you have a token?" One of the guards stopped Zhu Gui.
Zhu Gui raised his eyebrows, and then revealed something from his cuffs.
Before the guard could see what it was, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that a large patch of blood had stained his armor red.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he saw that another companion had fallen.
Zhu Gui retracted the pistol with the muffler with a blank face, and then pressed the two guards against the wall, while supporting their bodies with their weapons and armor.
From a distance, it is impossible to detect the anomalies of the two guards.
The little forest behind him was almost scared to pee.
"Gui, Gui Gonggong, what's wrong with them?" Xiao Linzi asked with his mouth covered.
"They're asleep, come in with me." Zhu Gui said lightly.
"Didn't you say that your friend was in the concubine's dormitory?" Xiao Linzi gritted his teeth and said, but now, is there a way for him to retreat?
Zhu Gui didn't care about his complaints, and walked directly into the dormitory.
The large white satin in the dormitory makes it look like a funeral shed.
During this period, only a few palace maids who were also wearing white mourning clothes were busy.
When they saw Zhu Gui, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, but they didn't step forward to stop them.
In their opinion, since the guards at the door have been cleared, there is naturally no problem.
Zhu Gui came all the way to the bedroom where Concubine Guo Hui was.
I saw Concubine Guo Hui, who was dressed in a white robe, sitting on the bed folding her clothes, without any makeup on her face, her expression was sluggish, and her movements were very slow, just like a puppet.
Zhu Gui couldn't help but feel a little tingling in his heart, he hurriedly walked over, grabbed Guo Huifei's arm and said, "Mother, are you okay?" ”
When Concubine Guo Huifei heard Zhu Gui's voice, her body was shocked, and then she turned to look at Zhu Gui, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Gui'er, why are you here?" Mother isn't dreaming, is she? ”
