Chapter 41: It's hard to tell yourself from a trance

"Zhao Feng sent him!?"

Zhao Feng is now in the palace like a god, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and Zhao Bugao's godfather.

Wei Chengji and Zhao Feng are figures from the same period, but compared to each other, his achievements are far inferior.

But compared with the dry bones in those graves, Wei Chengji is also a remarkable character.

The struggle for power in the palace is fierce, not only between those nobles, but also among their subordinates.

None of the palace maids and eunuchs who can live to old age are ordinary people, and they all have extraordinary wisdom in life.

Wei Chengji also competed with Zhao Feng back then, but later he spent a lot of money to settle the grievances between them under the witness of the older generation.

But now what does it mean that Zhao Feng asked his righteous son to come to the door at this point in time?

At this moment, Wei Chengji would rather them do business.

Because looking at the smile on Zhao Bugao's face, Wei Chengji could only think that what they were planning was bigger.

This is most likely a price he cannot afford.

And if they can't get their wish, I'm afraid of ......

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and it is enough just to show their attitude.

Looking at Wei Chengji's pale face, Zhao Bugao helped him, and with his other hand, he led forward, and said against the guest:

"Grandpa Wei, let's go sit down and have a good chat."

The two entered the main hall, and then closed the doors and windows, and the eunuchs in flowery clothes guarded the door, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

Seeing this, Li Xuan hurriedly went around to the back, wanting to find a window to eavesdrop.

He had a hunch that the conversation between these two people would not be easy.

But when Li Xuan went around to the back, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I don't know when, the main hall of Yanqu Hall has been five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry.

More eunuchs in fancy clothes guarded every door and window of the main hall.

"When did these eunuchs come?"

The flower-clothed eunuchs in front of him were obviously much more than the ones that Zhao Bugao brought in from the main entrance.

"Damn, that dead eunuch!"

"To put it mildly, I ended up arranging people into other people's homes."

Li Xuan looked around anxiously and found that he couldn't see the angle inside at all.

With the doors and windows closed, he could only hear the conversation inside when he was leaning under the wall.

"By the way, try the roof."

As soon as Li Xuan climbed a tree near the main hall, he found that there were also eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes on the roof.

As soon as he came up, he met a eunuch in a flower-clothed shirt, and he was so frightened that he hurried down.

The eunuch in the flower clothes didn't care too much, it was just a cat, and it was normal to climb up and down.

It's just that this one is a little timid, and he runs away when he sees himself from a distance.

In the end, Li Xuan had no choice but to hide in the nearby bushes.

Here he could not see, he could not hear any movement in the main hall.

"What is this Zhao Bugao trying to plot?"

This is the first time Li Xuan has been deflated since his debut.

He used to wonder if there would really be someone in this palace who would be so perverted that even one of his kittens would be guarded.

Now it's really called him to meet.

Li Xuan's curiosity to explore was not satisfied, and he felt uncomfortable scratching his liver.

But now in this situation, he can only watch and be anxious.

Zhao Bugao and Wei Chengji discussed behind closed doors in the main hall for a long time, and just when Li Xuandu was about to fall asleep, the door of the main hall slowly opened.

Zhao Bugao was the first to walk out of it, with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.

Wei Chengji had a calm face, walked out two steps behind, and obviously couldn't laugh.

Zhao Bugao turned around and saluted, and said, "Father-in-law Wei will send it here, it's really presumptuous to suddenly visit today." ”

Wei Chengji didn't say anything, just returned the salute and remained silent.

Seeing his attitude, Zhao Bugao just smiled slightly, leaned closer and whispered:

"As long as my father-in-law acts according to the plan, I guarantee that my father-in-law will be safe."

"Zhao Bugao promised in the name of his godfather."

With this promise, Wei Chengji's face softened a little, and he arched his hand and said, "Since I have promised, I will not break my promise." ”

"Mr. Zhao was able to settle his past suspicions with me back then, and he has not committed any crimes so far, so I naturally believe him."

With Zhao Feng's power after gaining power now, it is just easy to dispose of Wei Chengji.

But seeing that Wei Chengji can sit firmly in the position of the father-in-law of the Yinfang of Yanqu Hall until today, it can be seen that the head of the Internal Affairs Office, the first eunuch in the palace, has no intention of settling accounts after the autumn.

"So the best, so the best......"

Zhao Bugao said with a smile, and then left without looking back.

The well-trained evacuation of those flower-clothed eunuchs disappeared in a few moments.

But Wei Chengji's face was still solemn, full of worry.

Li Xuan didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but judging from their respective looks, it was obviously the result that Wei Chengji was unwilling to accept.

And Zhao Bugao led people to leave directly, which was even more anticlimactic.

I thought that I came to Yanqu Hall in such a big battle today to investigate this place thoroughly and find out the root of the haunting rumors, but now it seems that I don't want to do this at all.

Zhao Bugao just talked with Wei Chengji behind closed doors and left.

It seems that he has completely forgotten the original purpose of his coming here today.

But after Zhao Bugao left, Li Xuan saw that the Yanqu Hall actually closed the palace door and completely blocked the inside and outside.

Wei Chengji issued an order in the name of the father-in-law of the printing house: "There has been chaos in the palace recently, so the Yanqu Palace is closed and the palace is locked, and the source is cleared." ”

"During the lock-up period, except for necessary errands, it is forbidden to wander around the palace without reason, and it is forbidden to discuss the affairs of the palace in private."

"If there is a violator, it will be severely punished!"

The sudden closure made the whole Yanqu Hall a little frightened, but everyone had no choice but to obey the order.

Li Xuan realized that this might be the result of closed-door negotiations between Zhao Bugao and Wei Chengji.

It's just that the exact intention is still unclear.

"Now I can only act on the opportunity."

Li Xuan hid in the dark and sighed.

This feeling of being unable to control oneself and allowing oneself to be torn apart by this invisible vortex is really unpleasant.

"Let's go and look at Deng Weixian and the small table."

……

In the following days, with the complete blockade of Yanqu Palace, news from the outside world could no longer come in.

The atmosphere of panic at the beginning also settled.

It seems that this closed palace has really played a role, making everyone's hearts no longer float like before.

The small table was also settled, and I slept obediently at night, and I didn't go to "suck the bamboo pipe" for several days.

Li Xuan and Deng Weixian are also a lot more relaxed, and they practice every day.

Their days seem to be back to the way they were before.

Li Xuan was still free to enter and leave the Yanqu Palace, so he could occasionally inquire about some news from other places.

At first, he thought that this palace closure was implemented in the entire harem, but it soon became clear that only the Yanqu Palace was like this.

Rumors of hauntings are still circulating elsewhere, but not as much as they were in the past few days.

Come to think of it, after a while, this haunted rumor will gradually subside, and it will become another old news in the palace.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, a scream pierced everyone's illusions in the calm morning.

The peace that Yanqu Hall finally found was finally broken again.

"Ahh

"Someone hanged themselves!"
