When Xianqian returned to Ning'an Palace to escort Sun Ergou, Wan Yu asked the court lady who was waiting for her to clean up, "Where is Yao Xi?" After waking up and not seeing Yao Xi for a long time, Wan Yu felt a little uneasy, She had already looked at the clean room in the east corner of the bedroom, there was no one there, but Yao Xi's clothes were hung.

"Eunuch Yao took two people out of the palace to do business, and he said that the empress approved it." The maid was also a little puzzled. Could it be that the empress dowager didn't know about it?Eunuch Yao has become more and more courageous, even daring to do the thing of falsely conveying the imperial edict of the empress.

It was only then that Wan Yu remembered what she had said to Yao Xi when she was in a daze in the morning... Is the co-author going out of the palace like this?One must know that Yao Xi is going outside the palace, she will never agree to it.How dangerous it is outside!

"She didn't say where to go and what to do?" Wan Yu was not worried that Yao Xi would not want to come back, but that the girl might not come back if something happened to her outside the palace.Even though she brought two people with her, she still couldn't feel at ease.

"Go back to the empress, the father-in-law didn't say anything." The maid took the hairpin from the make-up case and put it on the empress's hair.

Wan Yu was ready to pack up, and Xian Qian came over with her escort.

Sun Ergou was stuffed into the sedan chair and carried into the hall.Xianqian thought, people come and go in the palace, one more thing is worse than one less thing, if someone sees it, you don't have to make random guesses.

Wan Yu was sitting in an armchair in the main hall, and saw Sun Ergou was pulled out of the sedan chair by Xianqian and thrown to the ground, not to mention his hands and feet were tied to death, and his mouth was also gagged with a cloth scarf.Wan Yu was very satisfied with Xianqian's prudence: "Take off the cloth from his mouth, auntie, go back to work, Ai's family will take care of the rest."

"Yes." Yuanqian bent down and picked the cloth from Sun Ergou's mouth, then threw the sedan chair in the hall, and led the people back to Ning'an Palace.

As soon as Sun Ergou was able to speak, he begged for mercy: "The queen mother, please forgive me!" He didn't understand what happened, he just went to the yamen to inquire about his sister's whereabouts, and wanted to extort some money.In the end, he was somehow tied into the palace and tortured. He said everything he could say, but the empress dowager's people still refused to let him go.

He had seen that eunuch named Yao Xi, who was his sister Sun Xibao no matter how he said it, but no matter what he said, the torturers just didn't believe him and insisted that he was lying.

"Aijia heard that Yao Xi is actually your younger sister, Sun Xibao?" Wan Yu glanced at Sun Ergou, showing disdain.The elder brother actually sold his younger sister into the palace to be a eunuch for some money.That's not enough, now that Yao Xi has been tortured and confessed that Yao Xi is a woman, if Yao Xi hadn't followed her, would he still be able to live if he was known to be a fake eunuch?

Sun Ergou pushed his sister into the fire pit again and again!

"Go back to your mother. The villain knows that pretending to be a eunuch to enter the palace is a capital offense, but my sister was bought by a eunuch named Liufu, so there is nothing I can do about it." It hurts so much that I take a breath from time to time.

Wan Yu was impatient to waste time on such scum as Sun Ergou, she would ask if she could, and beat her if she couldn't.

"The Ai family will give you one last chance. Are you sure that Yao Xi is your sister? It's too late to tell the truth. If the Ai family finds out that you are wrong, the Ai family will kill you immediately. And it will be cut into pieces! They will tie you up in oil Next to the pot, cut and fry a piece, then stuff the fried meat into your mouth and force you to swallow it!"

Sun Ergou was really scared.He had heard of the demon empress' bad reputation for a long time, but he didn't expect that this deity was more vicious and vicious than the rumors said. "My lord, please forgive me, Yao Xi is indeed the villain's younger sister." Sun Ergou said with a pale face, "It's just a adoptive sister..." The younger sister was still arguing to go home when she was a child, but maybe she forgot about it later, and she didn't quarrel much anymore. .But if the empress asked about his younger sister's childhood, she might find out something, so he might as well explain everything honestly.

Wan Yu didn't speak, and signaled Sun Ergou to continue.

"Xibao was actually picked up by my mother. She was only three or four years old at that time. My parents saw that she was so cute and liked her so much, so they left them as their own daughters. Five years ago, my parents passed away and left me The couple and Xibao depend on each other for life. I thought about finding a good family for Xibao to marry, but the girl was ignorant and no one would marry. Who would have thought that the sixth father-in-law would come to the door later, and Xibao would be bought into it for some reason? The palace is a eunuch..."

"Since she picked it up, you didn't ask her what she remembered, and sent the child back to her biological parents?" Wan Yu gradually became murderous towards Sun Ergou.The grandparents may really love their daughter, but once the second elder of the Sun family died, Sun Ergou panicked to find someone else for the girl.Is it because you are afraid that the child will eat two more meals at home, or do you want to replace the person with a betrothal gift earlier?

"I asked. When I first picked it up, I seemed frightened. I didn't say anything when I asked the name, and I didn't say the names of my parents. Later, I couldn't remember it when I grew up." Sun Ergou wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy. , but was bound tightly, unable to move at all.He said with tears in his voice: "The villain really didn't lie to the empress. The fact that Xi Bao pretended to be a eunuch has nothing to do with the villain. It is the child's fate that the empress wants to kill her and punish her. The villain dare not intercede, but only the empress." Spare the little man!"

Ah.With a cold face, Wan Yu pointed to the sedan chair and said, "Get into the sedan chair! The Ai family will order someone to escort you out of the palace."

"Thank you for your grace. Thank you for your grace." Sun Ergou struggled to move into the sedan chair. He was tied hands and feet, and he was only one step away from the sedan chair, but he moved for a long time.

While Sun Ergou was struggling to get into the sedan chair, Wan Yu went into the bedroom.She carried the pistol and walked towards the sedan chair, aimed at Sun Ergou's chest in the sedan chair and said, "Seeing that your parents are sending a message for Ai's family, the girl is living a very good life with Ai's family, so let the elders rest assured."

Bang!

Blood was all over the sedan chair, but the ground of the main hall was clean.

Wan Yu lowered the curtain, opened the palace door and told the maid, "Ask someone to carry the sedan chair out of the palace and burn it."

***

As soon as Yao Xi came out of the palace, he plunged into the tailor shop, pointed to the clothes hanging on the rack and said to the shopkeeper: "That style, three sets according to the figures of me and them." It is too expensive, and the two young eunuchs are still wearing official uniforms, so it is very inconvenient to walk outside the palace.

The two young eunuchs huddled together and murmured with a smile: "Young Supervisor Yao came out of the palace this time to go shopping." They thought they were doing some serious business, and they were on guard along the way.

The shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus beads behind the counter. Hearing Yao Xi's words, he hurriedly walked out and greeted Yao Xi, "That style doesn't suit you, but this one does." The shopkeeper took off the other hand and presented it to Yao Xi. .

The shopkeeper felt guilty.This son is gorgeously dressed and leading two eunuchs, maybe some little prince, how can he afford to offend?But the young master is petite, it is really difficult to have clothes that fit well, I don't know if the young master would mind if he said it so bluntly just now?

"Anything is fine." Yao Xi answered simply.She came out of the palace today to see the market, and she had to hurry back to serve her mother, so she didn't dare to delay for too long.

After changing clothes in the shop, Yao Xi asked the two eunuchs, "Ask the two of you for a place. The tea house on the second floor has an opera stage, and there is no opera troupe around recently. Is there any?"

"There are quite a lot of teahouses with theaters. If there is no theater troupe... I know one."

"Take me there." Yao Xi had imagined countless times before, what he would live on after leaving the palace.She thought that if she had enough capital, she would buy some houses and fields and start a small business.If the capital is not enough, go to the bridge to be a storyteller.

Storytellers can make a lot of money if they are famous.This is also different from Miss Tao and the others. Singing operas alone can't sing, but storytelling can.However, storytelling in Tianqiao is really the next best choice. It is better not to go to her house where there are mixed fish and dragons.It would be best to find a tea house with a stage, and sit on the stage seriously and talk. That kind of place echoes loudly, and it will save effort when talking about books.

When they arrived at the teahouse mentioned by the little eunuch, Yao Xi said to the two of them: "I'll go in and do something. It's rare for me to go to the palace. If you have anything to buy, go and come back here later to find me."

"Eunuch going alone?" The two eunuchs couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.Accompanying Eunuch Yao to go out of the palace is really a good job, not to mention getting a new dress, but also having fun.

"En." Yao Xi smiled and said goodbye to the two, then turned and entered the teahouse.She came here today to eat, drink and chat with others.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?" The waiter in the store greeted Yao Xi with a smile.

Yao Xi casually ordered a few dishes and a jug of wine, then walked to the table next to several young gentlemen and sat down.

A good-looking person can easily become the focus of the crowd. Yao Xi felt that the guests at the surrounding tables were secretly looking at her, and she smiled enthusiastically when they met their eyes.

Yao Xi's warm smile encouraged those who wanted to get acquainted with her. Several scholars who looked like scholars greeted her when they saw her drinking alone, "If you don't mind, why don't you share a table with us, and let's have a good time drinking and chatting together. some."

"I'm worried that I'm bored alone." Yao Xi got up and was about to move the chair over, but someone had already taken the chair from her.Yao Xi was very suspicious, this bunch of men were so attentive to her who was dressed as a man...couldn't it be Duanxiu?

It's okay, just don't drink.

A few people chatted while drinking, Yao Xi saw that the atmosphere was up, he took a sip of tea and laughed loudly: "Why don't I tell you a story, everyone just listen to it to relieve boredom." Then Yao Xi started talking.

At first, there were only a few scholars who shared the table with her to listen, but gradually many diners gathered around to listen.Those people's dishes were also cold, and the tea was also weak, but they still didn't leave, and kept asking about the aftermath.

Yao Xi's mouth was dry, and seeing that everyone was excited, he took a sip of tea and continued.The old diners did not leave, but the new diners came again. The teahouse, which was not originally a lively place, was packed to the brim in a certain corner.Some people who came later didn't know what happened before, and asked those who came earlier in a low voice.

Just as we were talking about the most exciting part, two young eunuchs appeared at the door of the teahouse with big bags and small bags. Yao Xi got up and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back. If you still want to listen, you can listen to it tomorrow." I come again?"

"Okay! You must come!" The audience enthusiastically applauded the show.

"If the shopkeeper doesn't mind, can you borrow the stage tomorrow? You don't have to stand here and listen." Yao Xi rushed to the counter and looked at the shopkeeper.

The crowd raised a chubby little hand, and the shopkeeper, who had been squeezed and deformed, said excitedly: "My lord, you can use it as you like. The stage is also empty if it is empty." Not to mention that he also wants to hear the story, the key is this young man. He is a talented person, and the story is told wonderfully. This is tantamount to recruiting the God of Wealth for nothing!As more people listened to the story, naturally more people bought his food and drinks.Because he doesn't have a good troupe here, his business has been very poor, and he plans to sell the teahouse recently.

"Everyone, I'll see you tomorrow." Yao Xi made a song for the crowd.

***

Wan Yu sat on the stone steps in front of the hall, resting her hands on her chin and looking in the direction of the stone bridge, eagerly looking forward to her return.

It was past lunch time, she hadn't eaten anything, and she couldn't eat anything without Yao Xi.

The last time Yao Xi was sent out of the palace by Long Yi, she also waited so foolishly.The anxiety of waiting, the longing for Yao Xi, and the panic that Yao Xi would never come back... These emotions tormented her repeatedly, and did not disappear until Yao Xi appeared.

She knew that she couldn't keep Yao Xi by her side all the time, there would always be times when the two of them had to separate temporarily.It's just that it's still hard for her to accept that without Yao Xi, she will feel that everything is meaningless.With Yao Xi here, she would find it interesting to stare blankly at each other.

The reason why she was angry about Tao Xiaolin was not only because of Yao Xi's rare generosity, but also because she suddenly realized that she was not the whole of Yao Xi's life, and Yao Xi's mind would be distracted by other people and other things.

Yes, she is jealous of the whole world.

Wan Yu hugged her knees and curled up into a ball, her tiger's mouth was still aching from the force of the pistol.My heart hurts too, why did Yao Xi come back and still not come back? ! !

These words were like a mantra, Yao Xi came back just after he finished chanting.

Yao Xi wore new clothes she had never seen before, and the hands of the two eunuchs behind her were full.Is this for shopping?Wan Yu got up and entered the hall indifferently, pretending not to be waiting for Yao Xi.

"Why did you go out of the palace?" Wan Yu originally thought that the two eunuchs were carrying things for Yao Xi, but when she saw Yao Xi came in with only the changed clothes in her arms, she couldn't help asking.

"Walking around casually." Yao Xi was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

Wan Yu felt a little lost.Yao Xi is a heartless person who used to bring her some gadgets when she went out of the palace, but now she doesn't even bother to bring them when she has them. "Wash your hands and eat!" Wan Yu's tone was not very good.

"I used it outside the palace." Yao Xi smiled innocently.When she came out of the teahouse, it was already past the time for lunch. It was hard work for two eunuchs to follow her out of the palace. As her boss, she must not make people hungry, so the three of them found a delicious restaurant to eat. After a meal.It's a good thing she brought a lot of coins, otherwise it would be a joke when she checked out.

The smile on Yao Xi's face slowly froze: "Your Majesty won't wait for me to come back without eating..." That would be a serious sin.

"It's a good idea! The Ai family has already used it." Wan Yu took advantage of Yao Xi's time to return to Nuan Pavilion to change clothes, and ordered the maids outside the palace: "Send the word, and say that the Ai family not only used lunch, but also used it a lot. .Whoever dares to speak out will be punished!" After finishing speaking, he closed the palace door angrily.
