The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

Maybe it's not that the Empress Dowager has no self-knowledge, but that the maids and eunuchs of Ning'an Palace are little white mice who would not feel a pity for the Empress even if they die!

Dishes were passed from the small kitchen one by one, and Yao Xi waited at the table with a sad face.It stands to reason that poisoning is a small probability event after all, so she really doesn't need to worry too much.However, these days, one after another of unlucky things happened, Yao Xi didn't feel that the goddess of luck would take care of him at all.

Aunt Xianqian handed her the chopsticks herself.Aunt, this is the real executioner!

Yao Xi took the silver chopsticks with both hands and felt sad.Forget it, let's treat this as the last supper in life, I haven't eaten such an exquisite food since I entered the palace, if I am lucky enough to taste it, I should be satisfied even if I die.A kind of indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Yao Xi's mouth, and there was a little salivating excitement in the smile.

The meals on the table are for the masters to use, so two pairs of chopsticks are used to taste the meal, one pair of silver chopsticks and one pair of bamboo chopsticks.First use silver chopsticks to put the dishes into small plates, and then use bamboo chopsticks to put the dishes in the mouth. After observing for a period of time, if there is no abnormality in the tasters, the masters can start to eat with confidence.

Generally, the eunuch who tasted food in the Shangshan Supervisor was responsible for this matter, but the empress dowager hated the eunuchs, so the work of drug testing in Ning'an Palace had been done by the maid who tasted food personally appointed by the empress dowager for a long time.

Yao Xi is a pessimistic person, but he was optimistic before, and after a lot of bad luck, he gradually became aware of living every moment as if it were his last.Especially what the Empress Dowager said just now made her feel that the future is precarious.It is true that the Empress Dowager is a golden thigh, but the temper of this golden thigh is elusive.While chatting well, suddenly he threatened the Venerable Master.

That's why Yao Xi's food tasting was a bit tragic, even with the determination to die.

The dishes are delicious.It was the kind of delicacy that Yao Xi had never eaten in two lifetimes.In ancient times, there were not so many kinds of spices in modern times. On the contrary, the most authentic taste of food was preserved. Because of the scarcity of ancient food, people were in awe when cooking food. In addition, it was royal cuisine, and the imperial chefs were highly skilled and delicious. The ground exploded on the tip of Yao Xi's tongue, and he couldn't stop at all.

Generally, tasting a meal is just tasting a chopstick.Yao Xi also has chopsticks, but her chopsticks are a bit big.The imperial meals are exquisite, and the portions are not large. Yao Xi's chopsticks will drop half of the dishes.

Of course she did it on purpose.

She can't do very well in the job of tasting food.What if the empress dowager takes a fancy to her and let her test the poison in the future?Can't you guarantee that there is no poison in one meal?Trying food is a high-risk job. If you don't retire, you will only die in the line of duty.Yao Xi deliberately ate until he was buried, so as to stop the Empress Dowager from wanting her to eat again.

After a while, the dishes on the table could no longer be seen.

She is not afraid of the empress dowager's blame.Anyway, she was dead if there was poison in the vegetables, and she was dead if the matter of money was not found out.In such a desperate mood, Yao Xi took the opportunity of testing the poison to eat and eat, one big chopstick after another raging past.

If you are destined not to survive tonight, then be a full ghost!Yao Xi thought so, and did the same.

Wan Yu looked at Yao Xi with her chin on her face expressionlessly.Is the little eunuch eating for her or eating?

Xianqian couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded from the side: "Eunuch Yao!!!"

Yao Xi had just tasted the last dish at this moment, she put down her chopsticks, and said to the queen mother: "Return to the master, the servant is done trying."

"Is it over? Aijia sees that the father-in-law is full!" Wan Yu said, looking at the leftovers on the table.

Yao Xi hiccupped: "I'm afraid that if you try too little, the poison will not be strong, so you won't be able to test whether it is poisonous or not." Then he hiccupped again.

Wan Yu looked at the leftovers on the table again, she was going to be annoyed.But remembering that no one taught the eunuch how to eat food just now, he didn't blame him. "Eat the rest of the father-in-law! Treat it as a farewell meal given to the father-in-law by the Ai family."

Yao Xi hesitated for a moment, seeing that the Empress Dowager was not joking, he picked up the bamboo chopsticks again and asked tentatively, "The servants really ate all of it?"

Yao Xi has developed a bad habit during his more than a year in the Siyuan Bureau. He has no sense of eating and devours food.It's no wonder that she has heavy errands in the Siyuan Bureau, and the servants don't have much time to go to and from get off work. When the manager calls, she has to act immediately, regardless of whether she is eating or sleeping, or she will be beaten if she is late.She hadn't been beaten before, so she was honored by Zheng Dayun.

But if you eat too slowly, it is easy to get hungry, and she is growing up, so she will seize the time to pick up the rice, and don't even care if she can't digest it, so she will stuff it in her stomach first.

"You really didn't finish your meal?" Wan Yu watched Yao Xi's meal with relish, and even saw his appetite.She said it was just a joke, but the eunuch ate as if he hadn't had another meal.

Yao Xi struggled to swallow the delicious food stuffed in his mouth, and smiled at the empress dowager: "I don't know how the slave will do, it's up to the empress dowager to make a decision."

Wan Yu nodded with a satisfied smile: "It's good that the father-in-law knows. The Ai family can tell the father-in-law exactly now, there is no further delay!"

Yao Xi glanced at the Queen Mother, smiled silly, and continued to eat with his head down indifferently.It was another meal and there was no meal, the empress dowager was scaring her again.

"Aijia said you didn't stop!" Wan Yu said this because she wanted to see Yao Xi cry in fright, but she was a little frustrated when Yao Xi didn't react at all.Speaking of which, the little eunuch was also a crying bag, but whenever he was frightened, he would cry and howl, but she enjoyed watching the little eunuch cry the most.She also finds it interesting when the little eunuch is bloody, but the premise is that the little eunuch's backbone is aimed at others, and it is better to be obedient in front of her.

Yao Xi said while eating the vegetables, "I heard it. Anyway, it doesn't matter what the slave said. If the empress said no, then there would be no!" Yao Xi didn't see through everything and was not afraid of death, but he had figured out the empress dowager's temperament. The more you are afraid of the empress dowager, the more you will scare her.Maybe she pretended not to care a little bit so she didn't want to tease her?

Yao Xi guessed wrong.Wan Yu is the kind of person who scares you until you are not afraid.

"Then father-in-law should go back to the room early to rest or say goodbye to acquaintances! It doesn't matter whether the father-in-law takes the silver or not, and I will send someone to send the father-in-law to the road early in the morning." Wan Yu said seriously.She wants to see if the little eunuch is really not afraid of death.

"Your Majesty, why..." Yao Xi felt like he was playing off.

Wan Yu sneered: "Does the Ai family need a reason to kill a slave?"

This seems to be okay...

"Then...can this slave choose his own way of death?" Yao Xi took the next best thing, blinking his eyes and looking at the Queen Mother expectantly.

It was rare for Wan Yu to be stared at so directly, and the other party was an eunuch.What's even more frightening is that she doesn't dislike the little eunuch's gaze at all. Could it be that she, like Emperor Ming Cheng, only looks at faces?Another eunuch, Wan Yu, must have gouged his eyes, but the little eunuch stared at her longingly with big teary eyes, not only did not feel disgusted, but was somewhat helpful.

"How do you want to die?" Wan Yu sneered.

"The slave wants to serve the master with tea and water on the back of the saddle, and serve the master for the rest of his life until he dies of old age." Yao Xi vowed.

Wan Yu glanced at Yao Xi with a half-smile.The little eunuch is really promising, he is good at flattering and begging for mercy.

***

After everyone left, Mrs. Lan gently closed the door of the south room. The room was already dark, but once the door was closed, it became even darker.She took out a fire pocket and lit the oil lamp in the house, then lifted the chair and placed it gently beside the bed, and sat down slowly while smoothing the hem of her skirt.The whole process was quiet without any extra noise, and the movements were also slow, the kind of slowness that can calm down even an impatient person, as if life should be like this, elegant and decent, and calm when changing.

"It's just the two of us." Lan Guiren said.Even speaking is slow and unhurried, with a soft and deep voice.

Yu Meiren's pain from being slapped by others was relieved a little at this time. Looking at this Lan nobleman, she always felt that she didn't look like a woman in the cold palace. Become foolish, foolish, crazy, crazy.This nobleman from Lan is obviously the kind of person who has given up on the emperor, but still has enthusiasm for life.Dressed elegantly and cleanly, he doesn't look like a prisoner in the cold palace, but like a worldly expert who lives in seclusion here.

"Yan Guiren committed suicide on her own. If you want to avenge her, you shouldn't find me." Because the room is too small, Yu Meiren can smell the pungent smell of chili oil while lying on the bed.She was scared.

"If I didn't say to avenge Sister Yan, they wouldn't go out." Lan Guiren took out a bottle of creative medicine from her arms and put it on the table beside the bed, "Ask the beauty a few questions. Answer this bottle of creative medicine well." Keep it with the medicine beauty, if you don’t answer well, the pot of freshly boiled chili oil on the shelf will kill the beauty. I believe the beauty has seen what kind of place the cold palace is today, and there will be no imperial doctor. Your injury can’t be done It got worse."

"Okay. You can ask!" Yu Mei said humanely.

"What happened to the lawsuit between Yao, the censor of the Zuoqian capital, and Mr. Zheng for taking people's money and lives?" Lan Guiren entered the cold palace more than a year ago. At that time, something happened to Yao's family. Unfortunately, she went to Jingling Palace to discuss the case before it was settled. isolated from the world.On weekdays, the servant who delivered daily food to the Lenggong was not allowed to talk to the concubines of the Lenggong. She couldn't ask the ladies in the palace, and the sister Jiu'er who came in later was indifferent to the affairs of the court, and she didn't know anything about it.

It was not easy for Beauty Yu to come in, she wanted to find out if the Yao family had been exonerated.

Yu Mei said humanely: "Not long after you entered the Leng Palace, the emperor issued an order that Mr. Yao's whole family will be sent to southern Xinjiang. If there is no order, you will not be allowed to return to Beijing."

Lan Guiren was slightly taken aback.She believed that the Yao family was framed by someone, and originally thought that the emperor would restore the Yao family's innocence, but who knows that loyalty is no match for traitors, and the emperor is also alone.

"The emperor just sent the Yao family to southern Xinjiang, which means that the Yao family is still safe?" Lan Guiren thinks this result is not bad.The emperor had his heart set, the Yao family was framed, if they stayed in the prison in central Beijing, it would be bad luck, but sending them to the southern border saved the lives of everyone in the Yao family.

Yu Meiren was tired and couldn't move when she wanted to turn over, so she could only continue to lie on her stomach and said, "Not all. I heard that Lord Yao's only son, Yao Xian, fled before he was sent to southern Xinjiang, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Lan Guiren suddenly fell silent.

"You have something to do with the Yao family?" Yu Meiren suddenly thought that Lan Guiren's entry into the cold palace was just when the Yao family had an accident, so these two things can't be related, right?And she vaguely remembered that Lan Guiren seemed to be called Yao Shuanglan...

Lan Guiren didn't answer, and stepped forward to take off Yu Meiren's pants gently in silence.

"What are you doing?" Yu Meiren became alert.

Lan Guiren picked up the creative medicine on the bedside table and said, "Apply the medicine. You can't help it yourself."

After serving the medicine orchids, the nobleman helped Yu Meiren tidy up her clothes again, her movements were very gentle, trying not to touch Yu Meiren's wounds.

"Thank you." Yu Meiren didn't thank people often, but she was really grateful to Lan Guiren for saving herself from a group of crazy women.

Lan Guiren said calmly: "Beauty should sleep outside in the yard tonight!"

Everything happened too fast, Yu Meiren stretched out her hand and grabbed the bedpost tightly in astonishment: "I'll tell you everything you asked! Where I didn't answer well, you should tell me!"

"No. The beauty answered very well." Lan Guiren stepped forward and hugged Yu Meiren, who was powerless to resist, and said softly, "I'm not in a good mood."
