The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

"Ah... hiss... pain pain pain pain..." Yao Xi mustered up the courage to bite his tongue hard, almost fainting from the pain.She tried tenaciously to hold her breath again, and at the moment when she felt her chest was so tight that she was about to suffocate, a powerful survival force broke through the wall that prevented air from entering her body.

Death is really not that easy, especially when she held her breath until the last moment, she was more afraid of death than ever, and she wanted to continue living more than ever, so she didn't resist and let the force that wanted to breathe take her out of the pain Pulled back.

And the facts have proved that holding one's breath cannot kill a person. Holding one's breath is an inertial action of using one's own strength to resist breathing.

In the case of suicide, most of the successful people actually borrowed external force.

Take hanging as an example, once the rope is tied, the person puts his head into the rope and kicks his feet, and dies.It's not that I killed myself, it's the rope ring and gravity that kills me, look at the hanged people, how many people kicked off the stools under their feet and didn't struggle crazily?Some people say that it hurts and is a natural reaction.

Actually not.That's scary.I regret it.

When you really face death face to face, you will feel that nothing is a problem, no matter how difficult things are, there is still room for struggle, and it is not certain that you will get through it.

While Yao Xi was thinking about it, the eunuch who escorted her escorted her to the gate of the palace, and two maids came and brought her in.

Ning'an Palace is really big!She knew that she was going to see the Empress Dowager, but she had not arrived after a long journey.

Yao Xi suddenly felt a little sad.The eldest princess said that she tried her best, but the road to see the queen mother was so long. Thinking about it, it didn't take long for the eldest princess to go from entering the palace to coming out.How can we talk about doing our best in such a short time?It's clear that he just came out after saying hello to the empress dowager.

She was just sad, and she didn't blame the eldest princess.One is that the empress dowager is not easy to mess with, and no matter how noble the eldest princess is, she can't beat the empress dowager.The second is that being a slave is cheap in the eyes of the master, so killing a slave is not a big deal.It is very rare for the eldest princess to be willing to go through this journey for her.

Wan Yu was like a child who got a new toy, so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all.She watched the little eunuch being brought in, drooping his shoulders, not raising his head, looking so aggrieved that one couldn't help but want to bully her.

After Yao Xi entered the palace, he knelt softly in front of Wan Yu: "My slave pays my respects to the Empress Dowager." She didn't have the courage to commit suicide, nor did she have the strength to struggle, so she kowtowed her head lifelessly, ready to bear the wrath of the Empress Dowager .

"Eunuch is so grand, the whole Ning'an Palace is waiting for you without sleep." Wan Yu said while looking at Yao Xi.

Yao Xi felt that it was indeed her fault that she missed the on-duty time, but the people in Ning'an Palace didn't sleep clearly because they were staying up late with the Empress Dowager, you old man, how can a slave dare to sleep when the master is not asleep?How could it be her fault?

"The slave should die." She dared to think about it in her heart, but did not dare to say it.Whether to die or how to die depends on the words of the Empress Dowager, she dare not act recklessly.

"Elder-in-law is also very face-saving. Princess Longyi came to Ning'an Palace in the middle of the night to intercede for you." Wan Yu deliberately provoked Yao Xi. She liked the little eunuch defending himself when he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Yao Xi silently thanked the Eldest Princess in his heart, but still said: "Damn the slave." It seems that the Eldest Princess really wanted to help her, not because the Princess was unjust, but because the Empress Dowager was too vicious!

"Is there anything else besides this sentence?" Wan Yu snorted softly.It's really strange, where is the eloquent little eunuch in the cherry blossom forest?If Yao Xi didn't argue with her, Wan Yu felt that there was a lot less fun.

She is also very boring being trapped in the palace. People in the world know how to look at her. No one dares to say the word "demon queen", but there are quite a few people who say it in their stomachs.As for what she did next, most of it was for a reason, but a small part was purely out of boredom.She has been in the palace for more than ten years. She has no relatives or friends, and enemies are everywhere. How can she survive the long silent night in the palace if she doesn't have some fun for herself?

Yao Xi is her new joy.

The little eunuch Yao Xi is very strange, he doesn't have the eunuch's personality at all, his mother is a bit of a mother, but that kind of mother is more like a girl than an eunuch.Wan Yu hates eunuchs, but she doesn't hate the one in front of her very much. Maybe it's because she looks good?Right now, the little eunuch knelt down in front of her, with a pair of black eyes looking down with aggrieved eyes, as quiet and obedient as a frightened little rabbit.

"Your Majesty is asking you something!" Seeing Yao Xi's delay in answering, Xianqian stepped forward and gave her a gentle push. "Hurry up and answer." She was also kind. According to her understanding of her master, the empress is not as angry as before. If the eunuch answers well, maybe he can save his life.

"Ah?" Yao Xi's drink from before came too late, and she poured down a glass. At this moment, she was in a trance, so she didn't hear Cai Wanyu's question.

Wan Yu got angry again, but she couldn't get angry.Kill it, I feel uneasy.Let's fight, look at that little eunuch's small body and bones don't take a beating at all. "Aijia asked you, except that the slave deserves to die, wouldn't you say anything else? Do you want to persuade Aijia to spare you?"

Yao Xi smiled wryly and shook his head.She was getting more and more drunk, and her consciousness was gradually blurring, and she couldn't get up the energy to defend herself.And Jiu Zhuang is cowardly, once Jiu Jin comes, she is really fearless.Don't let her die now, even let her go up the mountain to fight tigers.It's a pity that the hands are like soft noodles, and the mouth is like the waist of cotton trousers. When you have courage, you lose your strength.

"You want to die so much?" Wan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Ai's family wants to make the best use of everything, and you will come to Ning'an Palace to watch the night tomorrow." Made Poria porridge and came in, which was ordered by Xianqian earlier.Wan Yu didn't sleep all night and had dinner early, so she was naturally hungry, but Yao Xi was so angry that she didn't feel it.

Xian Qian took the bowl and fed Wan Yu a sip, Wan Yu tasted it and said, "It's not bad, it's more fragrant than before."

Xianqian smiled and said, "The porridge is still the same as before, but the lady is hungry." Not only hungry, she was starving.Xianqian really couldn't figure it out, why should she not sleep because of this little eunuch?It's also hard for the servants in the Ning'an Palace to not sleep, the master can catch up on sleep tomorrow, and the servants should be on duty as they should be.

Wan Yu has a good appetite, she eats half a bowl at most on weekdays, but today she almost finished her bowl.Xianxi scooped up another spoonful and fed it to the master's mouth, Wan Yu suddenly paused: "What's the sound?"

"Like... someone snoring?" Xianqian looked at Yao Xi, who was kneeling on the ground and snoring, and almost dropped the bowl in her hand in fright.

Yao Xi, who was kneeling on the ground, turned into a sitting duck at some point, obediently put his hands between his knees, hung his head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xianqian looked at her master worriedly, thinking in her heart, it seems that Ning'an Palace will definitely see blood tonight.She has served the Empress Dowager for many years, and she understands that the Empress Dowager is not a lawless demon queen who kills innocent people indiscriminately, but she also understands that the Empress Dowager is definitely not someone who will laugh and not care about being offended.

This eunuch who didn't know what to do, actually lost his dignity at the moment when the empress dowager planned to let him go?This hurt the empress dowager's face!

Wan Yu glanced at Yao Xi who was on the ground and said with a dark face: "Carry it outside the hall and put it away, I'm tired of the family." No matter what the eunuch does now, she won't be surprised, because she is used to it, and when she gets tired of it, she won't be surprised. Sooner or later, this slave will be slaughtered.

After thinking about it, he added a sentence in a puzzled manner: "Tell him not to come to Ning'an Palace tomorrow, but to guard the Leng Palace."

The Leng Palace is the most eerie place in the entire imperial palace, and there is no need for people to wait on the night watch or anything on weekdays, but because the Leng Palace is terrible, it does not know when it has become a good punishment.Wan Yu wanted to see if you, Yao Xi, were bold and not afraid of death, did you not even fear ghosts?You know, there were eunuchs in the palace who made mistakes before and were punished to watch the night in the cold palace, and they were frightened crazy.

"Send away all the people who came to pay their respects tomorrow morning, including the emperor." Before going to bed, Wan Yu ordered: "You also sleep a little during the day, and accompany Ai's family to Lenggong to watch the excitement at night."

Coriander nodded tearfully.Hearing what the master means, I have to stay up late tomorrow night!It is said that they are allowed to sleep for a while during the day, but who can sleep soundly?They have to be alert at all times, lest the master wake up and give orders.After waiting for the Empress Dowager to go to bed, Xianqian came out of the bedroom and called the ladies in front of her: "Let's switch to three shifts and take turns to rest. We have to stay up late tomorrow, so let's put aside the unimportant errands in hand. If your health is important .”

"Thank you, Aunt Xianqian." The maids yawned and dispersed, leaving only Xianqian and a few on-duty guards outside the bedroom.

***

When Yao Xi woke up, he found his face was cool, he took a look and realized that he had slept all night on the stone floor outside the main hall of Ning'an Palace.At this time, it was dawn, and Ning'an Palace was eerily quiet.

Xianqian, who changed shift and was about to go back to her room to sleep, came outside the hall at this time, Yao Xi was still confused and couldn't remember what happened last night.She came to Ning'an Palace with His Royal Highness the eldest princess, and then went to meet the empress dowager...but why did she sleep here?

"Girl, did your mother send me away?" Yao Xi got up and asked Xianqian.

Xianqian happened to deliver the order for the empress dowager, so she pushed Yao Xi away a little before saying: "Hold down, the empress is still asleep. The father-in-law is also a person with great fortune and fate, and the empress thinks that you are late for a reason, so she only punishes you to go to the cold palace." Watch for three days and nights."

"My servant thanked the Empress Dowager for not killing her." Yao Xi was so excited that he couldn't even tell.What kind of good thing is this, and she is only punished for three days and nights?Don't say three days, three years is enough!

"Go back quickly! Be quiet!"

Yao Xixi went back to the Siyuan Bureau happily, sighing along the way, thinking that he was bound to die, but he didn't expect to escape like this.Presumably it was also because the eldest princess came forward to intercede. The empress dowager probably also looked at the eldest princess's face, and felt that there was no need to affect the relationship with the eldest princess for the sake of a little slave.

She thought that she should thank Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess anyway, and it happened that Zheng Dayun brought her many good things from Zhejiang, and she picked some excellent ones and sent them to the Eldest Princess later.To be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness, not to mention the kindness of saving your life.

As soon as she entered the gate of Siyuan Bureau, Yao Xi felt that the atmosphere in the yamen was weird, everyone was looking at her, and their eyes were not as friendly as before.Although she doesn't have any friends who know each other well in the Siyuan Bureau, her popularity is not bad. What's the matter today?

Could it be that it caused everyone to stay up late last night?It must be.Last night, the Empress Dowager wanted to order someone to look for her overnight. She was not a big shot, and the only people who knew her were people from the Siyuan Bureau, so after tossing and tossing around last night, even the people in the Siyuan Bureau didn't have a good rest.Things in the yamen are heavy and heavy, everyone has worked hard all night and has to work on errands the next day, naturally the mood will not be good.

Yao Xi avoided everyone's unfriendly gazes, quickened his pace and hid in his room, always feeling that someone would rush up and beat her up a moment later.

As soon as he entered the room, Yao Xi was stunned, the room was in chaos like a thief.Pillows and quilts were thrown on the ground, some precious books were placed on the chairs, some flew to the corner, and the only set of cups and pots was also broken.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Xi found that all the things that Zheng Da sent her were gone, she opened the drawer, and found that the blue cloth bag containing the hundreds of Wen copper coins was also gone.

She locked the door before she went out, and besides her, only Liao Bing, who was in charge of the warehouse in the Siyuan Bureau, had the key.
