Chapter 4: Identity Revealed?
"I know that Father-in-law Wei is loyal, and this act of trespassing, I think I am confused by the villain, and I will not pursue it."
"King Wei is the younger brother of the first emperor, and he is responsible for the minister, and he is the pillar of the country, if there is no ironclad evidence, don't mention today's words, do you understand?"
The empress in the house had a cold light in her eyes and said in a deep voice.
Wei Wuxian, who was outside, heard that he couldn't understand where he could be, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the old slave will retire." ”
The fire faded away, and the two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
Chen Ju was about to speak, but saw the empress turn her head violently, staring at him coldly.
"Your Majesty, the villain ......"
"You can step down, and don't mention today's events to anyone, otherwise Hugh will be ruthless!"
With a wave of her hand, the empress flicked her sleeves and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Chen Ju looked back at the upper room, at this time, Concubine Rong was probably still asleep, and she didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurriedly followed.
But after walking a few steps out, facing the high walls of the deep palace, I was a little dazed for a while.
The empress told him to step down, but did not tell him where to go.
With his identity, he couldn't find a place to go in the huge palace for a while.
When I was at a loss, I suddenly heard the sound of thin footsteps behind me.
As soon as I turned around, I saw an old eunuch walking from the side corridor, and when he got close, he said, "Your Majesty has a decree, please ask your father-in-law to go with our family." ”
"There is Father-in-law."
Hearing this, Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
followed the old eunuch all the way around and around, and it took a while to arrive at a remote residence in the harem, where most of them were eunuchs, and it should be where the eunuchs of the Nanliang Forbidden Palace lived.
I don't know if it was the empress's order or the old eunuch's own arrangement.
In short, in a small and cramped residence, he was stunned to find a spacious and bright place for Chen Ju.
After entering the house, the old eunuch explained a few words of the palace rules to Chen Ju, and asked him to wait for the edict of the empress here, and then retreated, without even giving Chen Ju a chance to ask about his life.
After the old eunuch left, he had the time to sit down and rest for a while, tidying up his thoughts.
However, before he could think about it, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Father-in-law, the small one is the celebrant supervisor, and Father-in-law Wei is invited."
Hearing this, Chen Ju was shocked, how could Wei Wuxian's person come so quickly?
After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: "Please wait a minute, father-in-law, I will come." ”
Then he glanced left and right, but unfortunately there was nothing in the house except for a simple household item, and he had no chance to find a sharp weapon to hide on his body.
In desperation, I had to take a deep breath and go out with a courage in my chest.
The three little eunuchs outside the door waited respectfully, and when they saw him come out, they didn't speak, but lowered their heads in front and led the way.
All the way to the position of the celebrant, but saw only candles in the lampstand along the road, and there was no half of a figure.
Such a situation made Chen Ju a little more worried in his heart.
Seeing that he was about to enter the gate of the celebrant, a carriage suddenly came out of it, and when he approached, he stopped, and then a voice said, "Please get in the carriage for a while." ”
It was Wei Wuxian's voice.
Chen Ju's eyes flashed, and he immediately lifted his sleeves and got into the car.
opened the curtain, and sure enough, I saw a white-faced old eunuch sitting inside, and in my memory, it was Wei Wuxian, the great eunuch of Nanliang.
Wei Wuxian pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit." ”
Seeing this, Chen Ju had no choice but to sit down honestly, and then the carriage moved again.
I don't know where Wei Wuxian is going, in short, after getting into the carriage, he didn't say a word, sat there with his eyes closed, and was not even afraid that there were only two people in this small area, and Chen Ju would suddenly burst out and ask for his old life.
I don't know how long it has been, Chen Ju only felt that his butt hurt from sitting in the carriage, and the coachman in front of him suddenly stopped the car.
Outside, the curtain was lifted, and Wei Wuxian opened his eyes expressionlessly and said, "Please." ”
After getting out of the carriage, Chen Ju raised his eyes and saw that in front of him was a very imposing-looking mansion gate.
I looked left and right, and there were the same deep mansion compounds all around.
Later, Wei Wuxian also got out of the carriage, and said: "This place is close to the Imperial City Forbidden Palace, it is secluded left and right, and few people disturb it, what do you think?" ”
"Good place." Chen Ju nodded.
"If you like it, go in and talk."
Wei Wuxian was still expressionless, and walked inside as he spoke.
I couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the old eunuch's gourd, so Chen Ju had to follow behind.
The two entered the courtyard one after the other, and saw two young women wearing green shirts and tulle respectfully in the front yard.
"Mercy Star (Mercy Moon) to meet the master."
When the two maids spoke, they were facing Chen Ju.
Chen Ju's face moved, and he turned his face to look at Wei Wuxian suspiciously, and said, "Father-in-law, what do you mean?" ”
"Chen Ju, a sisal linen guest in the Yizi Hall of the Blue and White Society, was ordered to disguise himself as a eunuch half a month ago, sneaked into the palace and assassinated Wei Wuxian, the palm seal of the celebrant and the deacon of the Embroidery Palace, Wei Wuxian, and fled in defeat, and his whereabouts are unknown."
Wei Wuxian suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Chen Ju was still steady, and subconsciously retreated half a step, put on a defensive posture, and his two eyeballs flew.
"Don't be afraid, since our family has found out your identity, we don't have to bother to bring you here again if we want your life."
Wei Wuxian was very calm, waved his hand and said: "Our family doesn't know how you got close to Your Majesty and won Your Majesty's trust, but our family hopes that you will understand that in this Nanliang, whether it is in the palace or outside, there is no one to rely on, and it is always difficult to move an inch." ”
"What does my father-in-law mean?"
"You do things for me by Your Majesty's side, our family is not to blame for the past, in addition, the mansion and Shuang'er here, and the gold are all yours, and even in the future, your position in the Blue and White Club, our family can also help you."
Speaking of this, Wei Wuxian's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Chen Ju coldly: "Our family sees that you are a smart person, you should know how to choose, right?" ”
Chen Ju didn't answer immediately, his eyes looked at the two beautiful flowers half-kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the huge mansion.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "The golden house is hidden, the gold is ten thousand taels, people can get these two things in this life, what else can they ask for?" ”
"But my father-in-law looks up to me so much, I don't know what I can do for my father-in-law?"
"Gain the emperor's trust and kill Xiao Natuo, the king of Wei!" Wei Wuxian said coldly directly.
"It's as simple as that?"
The smile on Chen Ju's face did not change: "Even if the father-in-law doesn't give the villain such a big gift, these two things, the villain has no choice but to do it." ”
"Then you can do it."
Wei Wuxian glanced at Shuang'er on the ground and continued: "Your Majesty shouldn't summon you again today, you can familiarize yourself with the environment here first, and our family will send someone to pick you up into the palace later." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law."
