Wan Yu was still having dinner when the people sent to investigate in Shu County entered the palace to reply. She had just seen Yao Xi eating so deliciously, so she couldn't help but eat more when she was eating.

Yao Xi was making tea at the side.I just said that I would serve tea and water for the empress dowager, and it is not enough to express her loyalty with her mouth. The empress graciously spared her, and she had to behave better.I dare not do the job of tasting food well, but making tea is okay.

The investigators answered outside the hall, and Aunt Xianqian came in after going out to chat with someone.Wan Yu raised her hand to signal the maid of honor to stop, took the warm water towel handed over by the maid, cleaned her hands, and said to everyone: "Everyone go out."

Yao Xi was digging out the charcoal fire in the tea stove, he quickly put down the copper chopsticks and followed the crowd to wait outside the hall after listening to his mother's order.She guessed that the person sent by the empress to investigate the whereabouts of the money should have returned, but she didn't know what the result would be, whether she would clear up her grievances or help others take the blame.

After everyone had gone out, Yuanqian said: "Your Majesty, I found out. The 2000 taels of silver was falsely reported by the magistrate of Ji County, and it matched the count after recounting, 500 taels of silver and 500 taels of silver were missing. ticket."

Wan Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The little eunuch was quite honest, he looked a bit stupid, but he did the errands quickly and carefully, without any mistakes or omissions.

"False report?" Wan Yu was very puzzled by the stupid behavior of the county magistrate of Ji County: "He didn't say why he made a false report?" He spit out all 20 taels, but the 2000 taels?

"It is said that it is really not enough to collect 20 taels. Someone in the family is sick, and the daily expenses of the house are not small. I thought the empress would not check it, so I made a false report of 2000 taels. More than 1000 taels were not collected at all. The remaining several hundred They were secretly detained by him." Xianqian told the news that the investigators had brought back.

"Think the Ai family won't check?" Wan Yu sneered and ordered: "Send someone to Ji County to spread the Ai family's will, and say that the Ai family will not pursue this matter with him, and let him take care of himself."

"Don't you need to ask him to make up the money?"

"No need. If the family's wealth has not been emptied, he would not dare to do bullying. If he is forced, he will only take money from the people of Jixian County. If this matter becomes big, it will not be closed. For the sake of 2000 taels Necessary." Wan Yu paused and said: "It's the master of the country. He easily took out 300 million taels in one night, and it seems that there is still a lot of room to be squeezed!"

Zhu Xiangchang was eating with his family at home when he suddenly sneezed several times.

The second son of the Zhu family laughed and said, "I don't know who misses my father."

Mrs. Zhu also smiled and said, "Who else could it be? Naturally, our empress is homesick."

Only Zhu Xiangchang couldn't laugh.A full 300 million taels!

On the side of Ning'an Palace, Xianqian nodded and replied: "The matter ordered by the empress to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate has also been resolved. The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not find Yao Xi's file. Water, the files of many eunuchs are gone, and they are being re-recorded."

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. The slave was sold into the palace. How many real things can there be in the file? But the way the eunuch enters the palace has to be controlled. The traffickers are drugged. The knife was used." Wan Yu thought of the experience of the little eunuch, bereaved at a young age, abducted and sold, and sold into the palace without knowing anything about it... No wonder the little eunuch refused to let people Touch, love to seek death at every turn.Maybe it's because I feel that life is too hard and there is no hope to live!

Wan Yu suddenly wanted to give the little eunuch some sweetness after suffering all his life. "Arrange Yao Ximing'er to officially work in Ning'an Palace."

"Yes. According to the master's wishes, what kind of errand should I send him?"

"You can figure it out for yourself!" Wan Yu wanted to keep the eunuch by her side and give orders at any time.If you are bored, you can tease him, if you have something to do, you can send him out, even if you don't order anything, seeing how good the little eunuch looks is not bad.But she didn't want to speak it out, she looked weird and shameless. It was well known that she hated eunuchs, and the little eunuch who didn't know the severity made her embarrassed in public several times.

She believes in the tacit understanding cultivated with Xianxi's master and servant over the years.If there are any, just click on them, and the rest of the parsley will be taken care of.

Just figure it out?The master's heart is on the bottom of the sea, Xianqian has encountered a difficulty, the master wants her to figure it out by herself!The empress must have liked the little eunuch when she brought Yao Xi back to Ning'an Palace, so the task should not be too hard.But it would be too risky for Yao Xi to serve in the palace, since the empress has never been served by a eunuch since she entered the palace, and Yao Xi's temper is too reckless, serving in front of the empress will inevitably make the empress angry, and the empress is always angry One day, he couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Yao Xi to be killed...

Aunt Xianqian thought a lot about it.Considering the empress's phoenix body and Yao Xi's fate, Xianqian finally decided to put Yao Xi in a position where she didn't have to show up in front of the empress often, but was convenient for the empress to summon at any time.

So Yao Xi, under the kindness of Aunt Xianqian, became a glorious little handyman in the chore room of Ning'an Palace.

This is exactly as she imagined, the eunuchs in Ning'an Palace are not only door guards, but also handymen, and handymen are bricks, they can be moved wherever they are needed.If you are lucky, you will get a good mission to send the empress dowager rewards to the masters of the palaces, and you can also get a lot of rewards!

Yao Xi got rid of the loss of control of his emotions when he was on the verge of life and death, and slowly regained his direction of struggle.

save money!Leaving the palace!

As the Empress Dowager said, the life of a slave is not his own, and whether he lives well or poorly depends entirely on the master's mood.The Empress Dowager is not such an easy-going master as the Lan Guiren who lived in the rumors, and she loves to talk and scare people. In front of the Empress Dowager, her heart is full of ups and downs, and there is never a moment of peace.

Yao Xi is very satisfied with the errand ordered by Aunt Xianqian.Since she has the protection of Ning'an Palace, she doesn't have to worry about being in front of the empress.

After leaving the main hall, Yao Xi followed the path pointed by the lady-in-waiting to the side room in the front yard, where all the eunuchs of Ning'an Palace slept.

The residences of slaves are usually common shops, like Yao Xi’s single-family house in the Siyuan Bureau, at least he must be in charge of Jiancheng or above to be allocated such a good residence. It's not her turn to be a little handyman with no rank or rank. Ordinary little eunuchs are crowded on a large bunk.

There are so many servants serving in the palace, it is impossible for one person to occupy a room.

Yao Xi was worried all the time on the way to the room allocation.It is too inconvenient for her to sleep in the bunk, and if she encounters a roommate with dishonest hands and feet, there is nowhere to hide...

She took the lantern and found the room in the east room, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

There was a rustling sound in the house.Then the door opened, and a thin figure stood at the door.

"It's you?" Yao Xi was overjoyed.The one who opened the door was the little eunuch who had helped her during the day, and the eunuch was relieved to see Yao Xi outside the door: "How does father-in-law know that I live here?"

Yao Xi entered the house and said, "I will live here from now on."

The living conditions in Ning'an Palace are quite good. Four people share a room, and each person has a bed and a cabinet, and the tables and chairs are shared.Yao Xi blew out the lantern, and looked at the four beds in the room, there were no vacant ones!Where is she going to sleep when they are full of people?You won't let her squeeze with people, will you?

"Is this place full?" Yao Xi was a little uneasy.

"No." The little eunuch timidly pointed to the bed on the right side of the door and said, "That bed is unoccupied, but people piled things on it."

It's not good for other people to do things without authorization when they are not in Yaoxi, so they chatted with the little eunuch: "What do you call your father-in-law?"

The little eunuch carried a tattered bamboo chair to Yao Xi, handed her tea, and then sat on a twig and chatted with Yao Xi.It was only then that Yao Xi found out that this soft and cute little eunuch was two years younger than her, named Meng Li'an, and his family was considered a wealthy local family. Because of the death of his parents, he was sent to the palace with money from his uncle.His uncle's move was to embezzle his family's property and not pay taxes.

They were all forced into the palace by relatives who were greedy for money. Yao Xi couldn't help feeling more fond of this little eunuch named Meng Li'an.

"There are still two people living here, but they are eunuchs on duty at night. They go out late and return early, so they usually don't meet us. If we meet..." The little eunuch lowered his head and murmured: "Don't mess with them. Those two Individuals are not easy to get along with.”

Yao Xi recalled what Meng Li'an said about being humiliated in public, so he couldn't ask in detail, so he just nodded gratefully. "The things on that bed belong to them?" Yao Xi asked.

Meng Li'an also nodded: "Yeah, it's untouchable. If you don't mind, you can make do with my bed for a night."

Yao Xi couldn't sleep, her chest was constricted for two days and was about to explode: "Then where do you usually take a bath?"

"The bathroom is on the west side, just turn left when Gongfang exits." The little eunuch thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to share with others, you can go there at Yinshi, when there are most people."

Yao Xi gave up his mind, but Chu Gong is fine, he can make a quick decision.Take a shower or go back to the Siyuan Bureau!She entered Ning'an Palace to work, and no one would dare to touch that room.It's just that Liao Bing didn't get rid of her for a day and didn't dare to go back!The same is true of the empress dowager, she has said so badly about Liao Bing and she has said so badly, but the empress is indifferent, she has no sense of justice at all.

Yao Xi returned the teacup to Meng Li'an, got up and moved all the sundries piled on the empty bed to the floor, then took a mattress from the cabinet and spread it on, ready to sleep.

Meng Li'an was stunned as he watched from the side: "Eunuch Yao, quickly put their things back. I let you sleep in my bed, and they know they won't let you go. They play tricks very well. ..."

Yao Xi didn't stop what he was doing, made the bed quickly, got up and smiled and said to Meng Li'an: "Didn't you say that they are eunuchs on duty at night, so they can't easily run into us? Besides, that kind of bully is not ours. You'll be fine if you hide, they don't need a reason to bully people."

Speaking of this, Yao Xi suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager also seemed to have said that she didn't need a reason to kill people.Alas, the empress is also a bully!

"Brother Li An didn't provoke them, did he? What was the result?" Yao Xi had more confidence in Ning'an Palace than when he was in Siyuan Bureau. The people in the yamen were all gangsters, but Ning'an Palace had a master.

Meng Li'an closed his mouth.yes!The more cautious he was, the harder the two men teased him.

"Go to sleep! You still have to work tomorrow!" Yao Xi patted Meng Li'an on the shoulder and said, "If they bully you again, I'll beat them up for you. We won't necessarily lose in a two-on-two match." Yao Xi looked at it Seeing Meng Li'an and her almost thin body, after recognizing the reality, he comforted him: "I'm not afraid of losing. We can also sue the master, at worst, no one will feel better if one of us gets the board."

Early in the morning, Wan Yu asked Xian Qian to spread the paper and rub the ink, and wrote on it.She wanted the little eunuch to see how the handwriting should be written when he came, saying that the handwriting was like a human being, and the little eunuch's characters like firewood sticks really didn't match her face.

Wan Yu is very confident about her handwriting.When she first entered the palace, her writing was quite ordinary. When she was at home, her father loved her too much and was reluctant to force her too much. Whether it was learning, piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, it was all up to her temperament, so it was all a taste.The good handwriting she has now is purely a free time after entering the palace, not only calligraphy, she has also improved many skills.

Wan Yu wanted to show her hand in front of the little eunuch, but she couldn't show it too bluntly.I wrote with a calm expression, but I was cursing in my heart: Where did the little eunuch die?What time is it and I can't come over to work!

"Xianxi. Did the slave on duty miss the hour today?" Wan Yu dropped the pen and rubbed her sore hands.It's been a long time since I wrote such a long word, it hurts so much!

Xianqian thought for a while, then replied, "Go back to your mother, no."

"Why didn't I see Yao Xi? What errand did you send him?" Wan Yu asked seemingly casually.

"Arranged to go to the errand room." Xianqian replied.

"What about people?"

"Together with the other eunuchs, carry the things you ordered Princess Longyi to take to the fief."

"..." Wan Yu cast a cold glance at Xianqian.

Xianqian asked uneasily, "Did the maidservant do something wrong?"

"No. My aunt did a good job." Wan Yu crumpled up the words she had just written and threw them away.
