Chapter 212 Eunuch Yongmei
Concubine De generously explained her intention to arrest people. After hearing this, she was immediately shocked. He just wanted to be himself, and did not want to be involved in the tricks and fights of the court, let alone bully the king. But the problem is that it is up to him and what he wants to do. Because Concubine De told him that the girl who was captured, Mu Lanzhi, was poisoned and could not live for three days without Concubine De's antidote. All he can do is obey, unless he doesn't want Mulan to live. However, if he doesn't want Mu Lan to live, why would Uncle Yuan and the pastoral master be stunned and risked alone? However, is this risk only for Mu Lanzhi? When Uncle Yuan analyzed that the guards in his hand were all internal people, did he immediately think of the second-grade Ma Shuai, who was admired by thousands of people?
How can you get a tiger son without entering the tiger's den? It should be said that it has been 14 years. He has been passive. It's time for him to take the initiative, and this concubine who wants to win the emperor's favor undoubtedly provided him with a good opportunity. Being able to contact the Empress beside the emperor also means that there are more opportunities to get close to Zhou Ke. But at the same time, it also means that he is more dangerous, and these so-called dangers will kill him at any time.
Now every time I think of my father's bloody head and my mother's tearful eyes that I vaguely saw at that time, my heart always trembled fiercely, and I don't know if he will take such a risk to achieve the result he expected, but he knows that he must do so, and it's right to do so.
The Empress Defei arranged the things in the palace very well, and Man Xiu successfully entered the palace with the provincial team. He also knows that his current situation must be done well and must be done confidentially. Once he is found in the palace, even if he is not found to be a real eunuch, he will be killed. But he still wants to see Mulanzhi. After all, Mulanzhi's suffering is caused by his Guqin!
I have lived in the deep mountains for another two years. If it hadn't been for the colorful lights and joy along the way, I wouldn't have known that it was the Spring Festival again. What he didn't know was that on the day after entering the palace, he was arranged to arrive at the hut behind the curtain connected to the palace banquet from the secret room of Lingde Hall, where Concubine De lived, and shocked the audience with a song "Yangguan Triassic".
It's a pity that it's said that it's a gauze curtain. Man Xiu's position can't be seen outside. The figure of the piano stroking is the real German concubine, and Man Xiu just plays songs beside him. At the end of the song, before the curtain was lifted, he was led by Defei's men from the dark road back to the secret room. Therefore, Man Xiu knows nothing about the situation outside. I don't know if there is Zhou Ke at this so-called palace banquet.
Under the arrangement of the whole father-in-law, Man Xiu soon had the costume of an eunuch, and under his leadership, he successfully met Mu Lanzhi, who was already dressed as a palace woman. It can be seen that Mu Lanzhi's look was very bad, and she had no strength and seemed to have lost a lot of weight. However, after seeing Man Xiu, Mu Lanzhi was still energetic and kept comforting Man Xiu, saying that she was fine and reassuring him.
Man Xiu didn't say a word from beginning to end. He didn't know what to say. All this was because of his beloved Guqin, or himself, personally pushed Mu Lanzhi and himself to this point.
After leaving Mulan, Man Xiu's mood has been in a trance. Coincidentally, when he went to a place, the father-in-law who led him was called by the eunuch in charge. When the father-in-law left, he was told him not to leave. Man Xiu was also well aware of the hidden danger in the deep palace, so he stood still and waited for the father-in-law for a long time. However, the whole father-in-law still did not come, and his thoughts drifted with his mind. Unconsciously, he moved into a huge garden. The bright plum blossoms around him attracted his attention, and the unique fragrance of plum blossoms captured his sense of smell. His mother likes peach blossoms, but he loves plums alone. "The edge of the sword comes from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold." It seems that only the plum, who is still not humble in the cold storm and snow, belongs to him...
"Miss Du, what on earth are you looking for?" Looking at Du Xueer for a long time, Mr. Zou finally couldn't help it.
"Are you following me?"
"Don't be so unpleasant. We just came out to sober up and happened to see you bumping around, so we kindly asked. You know, it doesn't matter if you go the wrong way in this palace. If you see something you shouldn't see, you will lose your life!"
"Oh? Then can't I thank you more?"
"Ha ha, Miss Du said this. Our brother did have some offensive words just now. Please don't worry about it.
"I seem to remember that someone has apologized to me just now. Is it because I have a bad memory, or are some people apologizing, or are they born cheap?" Du Xueer didn't leave any opportunity for the other party. She wanted to talk to Du Xueer to find such a broken reason. Think it's beautiful!
"Du Xueer, don't drink wine!" Mr. Shi, who had suffered Xue'er's loss before, could no longer hold back his anger and said fiercely to Xue'er.
"Oh? What do you want? What can I do?"
"Du Xueer, I will let you pay for what you have done today!"
Is that right? I'm looking forward to it!"
"Xueer!" Yunxuan, who was beside her, couldn't help interrupting when she saw the momentum of the two. Mr. Shi, although my Du family has nothing to do with his son's house, he has no complaints in the past. Today's matter must be clearer than anyone else. Although my sister Xue'er also has something wrong, the prince slandered my two sisters first, and now she is forced to do so. Didn't she dare to do so when she saw that my Du family was easy to bully?
Yunxuan's voice was not loud, but in a sentence, for a moment, Mr. Shi was speechless. In addition, she was afraid of the strength of her Du family and the backing of the Empress Dowager, so she had to be silent.
Seeing this, Mr. Zou beside him quickly said, "Haha, it's really Miss Du. I admire you! Brother Shi must have just said a joke just now. Please forgive the two ladies. Don't remember!"
"Sister, let's go back." After looking for this many times, I didn't see Man Xiu's figure, but I saw these prodigal sons, and I couldn't help but feel very depressed.
"Ye, good!" Yunxuan nodded.
Yunxuan and Xue'er left, and Shi Jiangbai was furious because he was bored again and couldn't vent his emotions. At this moment, there was a low sound of poetry around.
"Fire and wind howl at the roots of water stains, frost and snow wrinkle ancient moss marks; the east wind is unwilling to follow the cold and heat, and it is fragrant and soulless."
Anyway, he was also the son of a bachelor. After hearing the poem, Shi Jiangbai became curious with his partners. Who will read such Buddhist poems today when the whole country celebrates? After searching for a while, Shi Jiangbai finally found a young eunuch who was looking at several plum blossoms under the plum tree.
It can't be him, can it? But there is no one else around here! A young eunuch is enjoying the flowers alone! Shi Jiangbai didn't feel funny for a moment, so he said to everyone, "I'm really insightful today, young lady! Eunuch Yongmei!"
Everyone looked at him and saw Man Xiu. However, why is this picture so harmonious: a handsome man stood under the tree and quietly looked at the proud winter plum! If the eunuch's clothes with some bad scenery were replaced with satin, this man must have fascinated all sentient beings.
"Hey, you, come here!"
Man Xiu was immersed in his thoughts at this time. It was not until the other party patted him on the shoulder that he was shocked and saw several well-dressed princes standing in front of him. I don't know who the other party is, let alone how to pretend to be an eunuch in front of outsiders, so Man Xiu did not say anything, but imitated the eunuch who had just brought him out and bowed to everyone.
"Where are you a eunuch?"
"Lingde Hall."
"Oh? In the palace of the German concubine?
"Yes!"
"What's your name?"
Man Xiu was stunned. Concubine De just arranged herself to come out to see Mu Lanzhi. The purpose was not to make herself a eunuch, so she did not name herself at all. But now when the other party asked this question, Man Xiu casually made up one, "Xiao Anzi."
"Little Anzi?" The other party looked at Man Xiu with a scrutiny look, and then asked, "What are the people in the Defei Palace doing here?"
Why is there such a rule in the palace? Man Xiu was a little guilty, but he still answered bravely, "It was the Empress Defei who sent Xiao Anzi to see when the banquet will be held." Today, Imperial Concubine won the favor of the emperor. Long live after the banquet, she will definitely go to Lingde Hall...! After thinking about it, he replied like this.
"Haha! Concubine De can't wait so soon!"
Man Xiu only bowed his head and said nothing. He will lose his words. He is very clear. What's more, it's in the palace.
"When I see you here to appreciate plum blossoms, you also know elegance!"
"When the prince saw a smile, Xiao Anzi just waited for a long time and had nothing to do before stopping to enjoy the plum. As for that poem, I was poor and lived in the temple for a few years. I still don't understand it when I heard a monk standing under the plum tree. It's just suddenly remembered the scene of my childhood and recited it. Please don't tell Yu Defei, Xiao Anzi, can't afford to be sin!"
"That's all. I'll tell her what's the use." Although it was still a little surprised that a little eunuch could have such an amazing memory and recite a poem that he accidentally heard as a child, the prince who questioned still chose to believe it.
"Six princes, it turned out to be here, so that the miscellaneous family can be found!" At this time, another eunuch came over. Man Xiu, who was about to say goodbye to several princes, was shocked. Don't wear help in this play.
"Oh? Eunuch Qi, how can he come out to find us if he is not serving by his side?
"The prince is joking. Today's palace banquet was specially arranged by the Long Live Lord to invite all the ministers and princes to have fun together. How can you be happy when the princes are not here?
"Haha! My father-in-law said so, how dare I not obey!"
"Well, please!"
While Qi Gonggong was talking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Man Xiu. Huh? Who is this? Although the palace is big, when it comes to eunuchs, he should be familiar with each other. Why does this in front of him seem to meet for the first time?
"Which palace are you from?"
What Man Xiu was worried about still happened. But now, those princes are still there and can only answer consistently, so Man Xiu said respectfully, "Go back to your father-in-law, and the little one works in Lingde Hall."
"Oh? What's your name?"
"Little Anzi."
"Do you know who I am?"
"When I returned to my father-in-law, I entered the palace yesterday and didn't know my father-in-law. I only heard these princes just now, calling their father-in-law seven father-in-law.
"Haha! You are clever, you boy. Come on, it happens that there are not enough people in it. You can also go in with me to serve the Long Live Lord and the adults.
