Wan Yu dropped the letter and opened the door to have a look.There was only a ball of quilt left at the door, and Yao Xi really left.

With bare feet, she stepped on the cold stone bricks to the entrance of the main hall, leaning on the gate and looking out.It was so dark outside that I couldn't see anything clearly.How easy it is to go!It seemed that those unswerving loves until death were the illusion of her alone.Otherwise, why can't people who can die for her stay in the palace for her?

Yao Xi had already crossed the small bridge over the stream, the farther she was from the Empress Dowager's palace, the heavier her steps were, as if the things that made her restless were left farther and farther behind.She tried to imagine the things that made her happy after leaving the palace, to suppress the growing anxiety in her heart.

She thanked the empress dowager and apologized in the letter, and the letter she was about to ask Princess Longyi to hand over to Lan Guiren only said that she was not Mr. Yao, and did not mention that she was a woman.After she leaves the palace, she will live as a woman, and a eunuch escaped from the palace, even if she is wanted, she will not be wanted.

After going out, buy some Zhuangzi fields, and then make a dim sum shop and do business in a silk and satin village. 8 taels of silver is indeed enough, but no matter how much money there is, she will have to spend it all her life. After leaving the palace, no one will reward her like the Queen Mother or Princess Longyi.

The matter of the sixth father-in-law was a wake-up call. Yao Xi's mood improved a lot, and his footsteps became lighter when he thought of leaving.

Just after crossing the stream and before turning the corner to Chaoshou veranda, Yao Xi suddenly heard the rustling of footsteps not far away.The footsteps were very light, if it wasn't for the quietness of the night and she was always on guard, she wouldn't have heard it at all.

This road is the way to the empress dowager's palace, afraid of encountering acquaintances serving in the empress's palace, Yao Xi dodged and hid behind the wine vats lined up in the corner at the end of the corridor, hugged her knees and curled up in a ball, Squatting very low, he held his breath and waited for the group of people to pass by.

"Hey! The road forks. Go forward or left?"

Yao Xi heard a man's voice above her head, and she tightly covered her mouth in fright.Although she couldn't see the speaker, if she was serving in the Empress Palace, how could she not know whether to go forward or left?Go straight ahead to the back mountain, and go left to cross the stream to the Empress Palace.

"It seems to be...forward? This place is really big!"

Here comes the assassin again!The empress dowager's physique for recruiting assassins is simply amazing.

Hearing the sound of those footsteps, Yao Xi headed towards the back mountain, quickly picked up a jar of wine, and took a fist-sized candle from the stone lamp, got up and ran to the Empress Dowager's palace to report.

She was on duty tonight, but she ran away, and the empress was defenseless at the moment, so she had to go back.

She also thought of the letter that was sent to the empress, she said in the letter that she was going out of the palace to live a normal life, and escaping from the palace was a death penalty, but she rushed back to rescue her.Maybe the merits and demerits can be offset?Maybe the empress would let her out of the palace as soon as she was happy?

She also wanted to go to Princess Longyi to rescue soldiers.But if she ran over and brought people to the Empress Palace, it might be too late.She didn't dare to shout for help, those assassins went the wrong way and went to the back mountain, and she would call them back when she called.She had to take advantage of the time when the assassin went astray, quickly report to the empress dowager and organize people in the palace to escort her.

While running, Yao Xi took out the letter he intended to give to Lan Guiren, and lit it with a candle.She was afraid that if she died after saving her later, the empress dowager would see this letter, which would cause trouble for Lan Guiren.

Yao Xi thought a lot, but he never thought of disregarding the life and death of the Empress Dowager and taking the opportunity to escape from the palace.Princess Longyi is willing to help, it's not that she won't be able to find a chance to go out of the palace after tonight, it's just that she has to worry about it for a few more days.But if you don't save the empress, the empress will most likely die in the hands of the assassin, she doesn't want the empress to die!

Wan Yu stood in a daze at the entrance of the hall for a while, but decided to send someone to catch Yao Xi.The emperor issued an order to seal the gate of the palace, so Yao Xi couldn't escape. If he was caught, he would be hacked to death with knives.She wanted to arrest him because she wanted to ask herself, why did she escape from the palace?Was it frightened by the messy things in the palace today, don't you believe that she can protect him?

Just as she was about to call someone to chase after Yao Xi, Wan Yu saw Yao Xi running back panting.She wasn't surprised at all. Seeing the little eunuch in such a mess, he must have been spotted by the palace inspectors and ran back to beg her for help.But what are you doing with the jar of wine in your hand?

"Mother, there are assassins!" Just as Yao Xi finished speaking, he heard footsteps in the woods behind him, and the group of assassins came after they ran to a dead end. "Come here! Help!!!"

Yao Xi ran up to the ladder holding the wine in his left hand and the candle in his right, watching the approaching assassins, anxiously said to the Empress Dowager who was standing behind: "Your Majesty, hide quickly! There are so many thorns coming—"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a loud bang behind her.Looking back, the door of the palace has been closed...

Uh... why did you suddenly regret coming back?

The empress moved to Princess Longyi's Palace and didn't bring many people to wait on her. Except for her who lives in the guard room next to the main hall, the other eunuchs and maids live in other places. It will take a while to hear the movement.Yao Xi fell into despair, and the empress is not righteous enough, why can't she be taken into the palace to hide together?

When Yao Xi was thinking wildly, the door behind her suddenly opened again. She looked back, and the Empress Dowager stood at the door calmly and pouted at her, "Eunuch Yao carefully behind you, the assassin is coming." folded his hands.

Why was the empress not only not frightened, but instead looked like she was eating melons and watching a good show?I almost grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them.

The assassin really rushed over, Yao Xi didn't care about thinking about it, picked up the wine jar and took a big sip of wine, then held up the candle and sprayed the wine out of his mouth forcefully.The sprayed wine was ignited by the fire on the candle, turning into a huge tongue of flame, the assassin's eyes hurt from the smoke, and his footsteps slowed down.

Yao Xi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, she had to wait for the rescuers to arrive, sip after sip of wine, she was like a fire-breathing dragon, standing firmly in front of the Empress Dowager, not allowing anyone to get close.It's just that there are so many assassins, she can't take care of others, and the flames can't kill people with one blow, so Yao Xi's attack is getting weaker and weaker.

Wan Yu leaned against the door and looked at Yao Xi's thin back guarding her. She was moved and puzzled.He obviously cared about her so much, why did he want to leave the palace?

Yao Xi made a mistake, drank a small sip of wine in a panic, and sprayed it out at the candle. The assassins all turned their backs and covered their faces. Suddenly, they didn't feel the heat wave before this time. Turning around, it turned out that they were escorting the Queen Mother. People only spit out a small flame the size of a palm.

"Kill!" The assassin who rushed to the front raised his knife and slashed at the top of Yao Xi's head. Yao Xi threw the wine jar at the assassin, and threw the candle at the assassin. In an instant, the assassin turned into a human-shaped fireball.

But immediately there was a second person slashing at her. Yao Xi, who had lost his weapon and was empty-handed, was too scared to move. Seeing the assassin's knife getting closer, she was anxious but couldn't move.

The moment the assassin's knife was only a foot away from her head, Yao Xi felt someone hug her waist and pull her back. When she came to her senses, the Empress Dowager had already held her in her arms with one hand.

Wan Yu pushed Yao Xi back violently, raised the pistols she had just closed the door and entered the room, and shot each of the assassins one by one.Her aim was already very good, and the assassins were close. Four rounds of ammunition from the five-barreled breech gun hit the chests of the four assassins impartially. The jar of wine that Yao Xi threw out saved her a bullet. ammunition.

"Since you have made up your mind to go out of the palace, what do you do when you come back? Do you really think that the Ai family needs your escort?" Wan Yu's tone was arrogant: "During the years you didn't come to serve the Ai family, the Ai family still lived a good life." When she heard that there was no movement behind her, she thought that the little eunuch was too intimidated by her heroic appearance to be speechless. After dealing with the assassin, she turned around and saw the little eunuch lying on the ground with a dead face?

Wan Yu remembered that she seemed to have pushed him hard into the hall to protect the eunuch just now... Wan Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she forgot that the threshold of the main hall was quite high, and the eunuch was pushed violently No wonder it didn't fall.

You won't die, will you?Wan Yu anxiously stepped into the hall to sniff Yao Xi's breath.

Hot, okay, okay.

Yao Xi didn't die, but she just knocked her head on the ground and fainted. She tripped over the threshold and fell heavily on the ground.

"Head...headache..." Yao Xi was so dizzy that he couldn't open his eyes, he moaned weakly.

"What did you say? Ai Jia couldn't hear clearly." Wan Yu didn't hear what Yao Xi said.The little eunuch's voice was too weak, and the burning assassin outside the door screamed again and again.

Yao Xi said in a daze, "It hurts..."

"Where does it hurt?" Wan Yu became a little impatient, and raised her pistol to shoot at the burning assassin.It's really annoying!After mending the gun, he asked Yao Xi softly, "Where does it hurt?"

"Head..." Yao Xi fainted after finishing speaking.

It's over!Wan Yu patted Yao Xi's little head distressedly. The child was already stupid, but now he hurt his head again, and he might be useless in the future.She was really guilty, five or six assassins didn't do anything to Yao Xi, but she pushed him and knocked him unconscious.And no matter why Yao Xi wanted to leave the palace, it was a fact that he came back risking his life to save her.

The maids and eunuchs rushed over.Wan Yu held Yao Xi in her arms and ordered: "Take the Ai family's sign and go out of the palace immediately to find Imperial Physician Fu, and the rest of the people will deal with the dirty things at the door." After ordering, she picked up Yao Xi and went into the bedroom.

Wan Yu gently put Yao Xi on the bed, as if she was holding something fragile and precious, she was really afraid that she would accidentally get the little eunuch bloody again.After laying the person flat, Wan Yu took off Yao Xi's soap boots, moved those little feet to the bed, and then stretched out the quilt to cover him.

When covering Yao Xi with the quilt, Wan Yu swept Yao Xi's chest with the back of her hand.What's hard?When she touched it through the clothes, the little gelon's chest was bulging.Wan Yu stretched out her hand with a puzzled expression and took out the bulging thing. She unfolded it and saw that it was a thick stack of silver bills, which were the ones she gave to the eunuch.

Co-authors don't want those six boxes of priceless items, but rather a mere 8 taels of silver bills, just for the convenience of escaping from the palace?Wan Yu snorted coldly and put the banknote into her arms.

She was not a stingy person, and she never took back what was rewarded to the slaves, but she was really afraid that the little eunuch would have money around him before leaving the palace.

She would never let anyone know, the moment she dropped the letter and found that the eunuch had left, her heart ached as if someone was pulling her.After seeing the little eunuch running back panting, the pain got better again.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager was assassinated, Emperor Ming Cheng, the empress and everyone in the harem rushed over overnight.Wan Yu was afraid that there would be too many people making Yao Xi rest in peace, so she told her aunt: "Let the emperor come back tomorrow! Let's just say that Ai's family is exhausted, and he has been tired all day. No one else is allowed to come in!"

Physician Fu rushed into the palace overnight.

Wan Yu pointed to Yao Xi who was lying on the bed and said, "I fell and passed out. Doctor Fu can see if there is a serious problem."

Fu Wenqing saluted the Empress Dowager, sat on the stool beside the bed, took Yao Xi's hand and began to feel the pulse.

"Hmm..." Fu Wenqing met Yao Xi at the Si Yuan Bureau, knew that he was an eunuch, and thought he had a wrong pulse.He put Yao Xi's left hand flat, held it carefully again, and then frowned.How could an eunuch have the pulse of a woman's menstruation?

Seeing Doctor Fu's serious expression, Wan Yu's heart sank.What if the little eunuch was really thrown out by her push? "Is it serious?"

Fu Wenqing hesitated for a moment.This Eunuch Yao is a girl, but should he tell the Empress Dowager?It is a capital crime for a woman to pretend to be a eunuch and enter the palace! "I heard from my aunt that Eunuch Yao has the credit for saving him?" Fu Wenqing didn't want to lie to the queen mother, let alone hurt Yao's life because of his words.

"The Queen Mother, please promise me that I will spare Eunuch Yao's life no matter what!" Fu Wenqing knelt down.

The more Wan Yu listened, the more confused she became: "The one who called you into the palace was to save him. Why do you want to spare your life?"

"The Empress Dowager dare not tell the minister if she refuses to agree." Fu Wenqing bowed her head solemnly.

"Get up! The Ai family has promised you. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it." Wan Yu felt that Doctor Fu was really old and was getting more and more verbose.

Only then did Fu Wenqing stand up and report back: "Eunuch Yao is a woman. The fainting was not all due to a bump, but also due to the menstrual accident when both Qi and blood were deficient, and she was frightened."

Menstruation?Wan Yu thought of that hand of blood.Is the little eunuch a girl?Her mood is indescribably complicated.

But this could explain why the eunuch wanted to escape from the palace.But why did he enter the palace?
