The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

"However, your Majesty, don't be too honest about copying the house." Knowing that the Zhu family has a solid background, and that the civil and military officials of the court are staring at the treasury like flies, she told Emperor Ming Cheng, "Zhu family, copy half and hide the other half! "

After Yao Xi put the words rewarded by the Empress Dowager back to the value room, he went outside the main hall to look for the bank note.Last night, she rushed back from Princess Longyi's side to the empress's place to rescue her. Passing the small bridge, she took out the letter she was going to give to Lan Guiren and burned it. When she took out the letter, she clearly still had the bank note in her arms.

Such a thick stack of things should not be difficult to find as long as they are not picked up by others.

She first looked outside the main hall. Outside the hall was a large gray stone floor. There were uncleaned burnt marks and dark red blood stains on the ground, but there was nothing like a silver ticket.

Yao Xi went to the forest again, looking for it while walking along the path leading to the stream.At the end of the day, I still haven't found the banknote.Her 8 taels!Yao Xi, who went from getting rich overnight to being impoverished in just two days, couldn't accept the reality that the money might never come back.

Many of her good expectations for the future are based on that sum of money.Without money, she would not have the confidence to go out of the palace. No matter how dangerous the palace is, she would not have to worry about food and clothing. If she had no money to settle down, she would not necessarily encounter any terrible things as a girl!

Yao Xi still pins his hope of saving money on the empress dowager who is rich and generous.The empress must not be stingy in awarding her calligraphy today, but she really thinks that she has done a lot of credit for saving her husband alone, and the rewards of gold and silver are far from enough, so she personally gave her the four characters of "righteousness, bravery and loyalty".

The empress is not wrong when she said that the calligraphy is a priceless treasure. The empress dowager empress's imperial pen, and those four characters, can be used as amulets in this life and family treasures in the next generation.It's a pity that she is a common person, she only wants a small amount of money that can be exchanged for firewood, rice, oil and salt, not a family heirloom!

"What are you looking for?"

Yao Xi still kept looking down in the apricot forest, when he suddenly heard Princess Longyi's voice in front of him. "Your Highness the Princess?" Seeing that Her Highness the Princess had no attendants, she stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Last night, an assassin entered the Empress's Palace, and she couldn't leave. Her Highness the Princess has been waiting for a long time."

"It's nothing. It's better to wait for the news of the fake eunuch to pass before leaving." Longyi came to see Yao Xi: "Last night, I heard from the aunt next to the queen mother that you fainted? Is there a serious problem?"

She didn't see the Queen Mother or Yao Xi when she came here last night, and she planned to come again this morning.As a result, as soon as she woke up in the morning, Lan Guiren came to look for her while the emperor's brother was going to court.He said that last night he heard that an assassin had entered the Empress Dowager's palace, so he asked her to come over to see if Yao Xi was okay.

"I heard that Imperial Physician Fu came to see the servant last night, and there is nothing wrong. Thank you, Princess, for your concern." Yao Xi said gratefully.

Long Yi looked at Yao Xi with a smile, thinking that this child was really cautious, no wonder he was able to hide his identity so well in the palace.The last time she told Yao Xi that she and Lan Guiren had known each other since childhood, Yao Xi's surprised face seemed real.The first time he was in Wangyue Pavilion, Yao Xi also pretended not to know her, and said in Ning'an Palace that he didn't know she was the eldest princess Yunyun.Yao Xi went to play in the palace when he was a child, and she even teased him.

"It's fine. Your sister was worried all night." Seeing that Yao Xi was fine, Long Yi wanted to go back to the palace and tell Lan Guiren quickly, so that she wouldn't worry about it all the time, or it would be better to take Yao Xi back and let the siblings talk. , was talking to Yao Xi when she saw her imperial brother Emperor Ming Cheng walking over surrounded by people.

"Longyi? To see the Queen Mother?" Emperor Ming Cheng also saw his sister, and was very relieved.The last time the Ning'an Palace was on fire, and the Queen Mother was assassinated this time, Long Yi was the second person to come here besides him.It shows that Longyi really cares about the queen mother, and the two of them disagree and even quarrel occasionally, family is family.

Longyi originally planned to go back, but hearing what Brother Huang said, it seemed that he couldn't justify not taking a look at Wan Yu, so he could only say: "Yes! When I came here last night, I heard that the Queen Mother said that she has rested."

"Alright. Let's go!" Emperor Ming Cheng said approvingly.

After Emperor Ming Cheng walked away, Longyi said to Yao Xi: "Your sister is in my palace, go and report her safety! But don't talk too long, maybe there will be another disturbance like last time. The emperor is going to be serious because of the fake eunuch. Suspicious! If someone asks you, you can go to my palace to help get something, and when you come back later, just bring something here." After speaking, he went through the forest alone to the queen mother's palace.

Hearing that Lan Guiren worried about him all night, Yao Xi couldn't help but feel guilty.On the day she left the palace, Mrs. Lan learned that Mr. Yao had an accident more than a year ago, so she didn't know how sad she would be.But it feels good to have someone worrying about her. Why did she meet a brother like Sun Ergou but not a sister like Lan Guiren?

When they arrived at Princess Longyi's side, Yao Xi entered the yard on the pretext of bringing something for the eldest princess.

"Eunuch Yao, what does the princess want?" The palace lady was afraid that Yao Xi would not be able to find her because she was not familiar with her place, so she kindly wanted to help.Besides, Mrs. Lan is still waiting for the princess to come back in the house. The maid thinks that Yao Xi, a eunuch, should not go in.

Yao Xi said vaguely: "Your Highness the Princess won't let you say..."

The maid didn't dare to ask any more questions, and thought that Yao Xi was drinking at the same table with Princess Lan, so she guarded him in the courtyard and let him in.

Yao Shuanglan anxiously waited for Longyi to come back, she was startled when she saw a figure coming in from the door, but when she saw clearly that it was Yao Xi, she was so happy that her eyes filled with tears. "Ah Xian~" She went to the Empress Dowager's palace with the emperor and queen last night, but she didn't see her brother and didn't dare to inquire about her. She was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night, so she came early in the morning to ask Long Yi to come over.

"Sister..." Yao Xi yelled without confidence.But I also feel that there is no one else in such an atmosphere, and calling Lan Guiren is suspiciously unfamiliar. "I am okay."

Yao Shuanglan got up and walked in front of Yao Xi, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears after feeling relieved: "My sister is worried to death."

Yao Xi felt Lan Guiren's concern for her from the bottom of his heart. Although her identity was false, Lan Guiren's concern was actually for Yao Xian.But her eyes were still red when she lay on Lan Guiren's shoulders. It's been a long time since she felt the warmth from her family.Too long too long.

"But I have to find an opportunity to send you out of the palace." Yao Shuanglan knew that it was not easy to talk to her younger brother, so she let go of him and said concisely: "The person who caused you to enter the palace has never revealed your identity, he must be waiting for some opportunity You must leave before they make a move! After you leave the palace, go to Princess Longyi's fief for a while, and wait for my sister to rehabilitate our family before returning to reunite with my parents."

"Yeah." Yao Xi nodded vigorously. "Then I'll go back first, and there will be more trouble if I'm seen."

Yao Shuanglan said reluctantly, "Okay."

Over there Longyi reluctantly went to see Wan Yu.

Wan Yu had just finished speaking with Emperor Ming Cheng, and was about to order Yao Xi to come and serve her, when a palace maid came in and replied, "Your Majesty, Princess Longyi is here to pay her respects."

Longyi again?Wan Yu remembered hearing from her aunt last night that Long Yi led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to rescue her.Does Longyi really care about her safety so much?

In fact, putting aside the grievances between the two because of the former queen, Wan Yu still quite approves of Long Yi's character.Longyi is straightforward and upright, likes and dislikes are written on his face, and he has no bad intentions.Such people are the most worry-free to get along with.

Longyi took the risk to come to rescue her last night, and came to pay her respects this morning.Maybe it's the first time in many years, let's let go of the death of the first queen!Besides, she wasn't the one who killed the first empress in the first place, but someone killed him with a knife and took advantage of the late emperor's love for her.

Now that Long Yi has figured it out, she can't take it too seriously if he shows her his favor over and over again.

"Princess, please come in." Wan Yu picked up the small bronze mirror the size of a palm on the table, and very carefully put on a sincere and kind smile.

Long Yi stepped into the hall with a cold face, and was about to squat down to salute, when he suddenly saw Wan Yu who was sitting upright smiling at her, and opened his mouth wide in fright.It's not that she hasn't seen Wan Yu smile before, sneering and mocking, she has seen them all.

But today Wan Yu's smile is different from the past... It seems that she has taken the wrong medicine today!The smile is very weird, very cautious.Wan Yu has always been notorious, but she has never been afraid of Wan Yu, and now she is a little afraid.

"There's no need to salute. Sit down!" Wan Yu tried her best to play the role of a loving mother, and said to Longyi gently with a smile.

Longyi felt a little flustered and became vigilant.She has nothing to show her courtesy, did Wan Wanzi think of some bad idea to trick her?She couldn't help but think of the boxes of things that Wan Yu ordered to be carried to her palace not long ago. "The Empress Dowager gave Longyi a lot of things last time, but Longyi hasn't come to the door to thank her. I heard that the assassin entered the palace last night, so I wanted to see if the empress is safe, and I would like to thank the empress. I just don't know why the empress suddenly sent so many things to Longyi. ?”

What did you give Longyi last time?Wan Yu remembered.

At that time, she blackmailed Zhu Xiangchang, the county magistrate of Shi County, and two wealthy businessmen. Except that Zhu Xiangchang gave all gold and silver, the county magistrate of Shi County and the wealthy businessman couldn't make up enough, so she packed a lot of jade, jewelry, calligraphy, painting, cloth and so on. I gave her half a box of hometown specialties... There were too many things, and Wan Yu felt that the warehouse was a little crowded, so she picked a few boxes of things she didn't like and sent them to Long Yi to make room for them.

After Ning'an Palace was burned, she was preparing to change to a bigger basement.Silver bills are not easy to keep, and gold and silver take up space. She has accumulated more and more treasures over the years, and she can't put them in a bigger basement.

"That's the dowry that Ai's family gave you." Wan Yu nonsense said: "Although the princess is going to be honored by the Ministry of Etiquette, the dowry is also drawn from the treasury, and the queen has prepared the dowry for you since you were born, and the emperor will return it when she comes out. In addition, no matter how you look at it, the Ai family is not bad. But even if you have been refusing to recognize the mother of the Ai family, the Ai family still has to do what they should do. Don't feel shabby, the things left by the late emperor to the Ai family have been lost over the years. One after another, they filled up the shortfall of the national treasury for the emperor, and there is not much left. Those few boxes are all that Ai’s family has left.”

Wan Yu made it up so well that she almost believed it herself.

Long Yi was also stunned.Did the Queen Mother give her all her wealth as a dowry?She also knew that it was difficult for her stepmother, and she also knew that the death of her stepmother was not entirely at fault.It's just that she always felt that if there was no Wan Yu, the queen mother would not be humiliated by the deposed queen, nor would she be framed to anger her father and die in depression.

But it turned out that Wan Yu had silently done so much for the Feng family all these years?Not only used the private treasury to make up for the deficit of the national treasury, but also saved her dowry.The few boxes of things that the queen mother gave her were indeed not expensive, and even a little shabby as the dowry of the eldest princess, but she felt that the most precious thing was the silent concern of the queen mother for her.

Longyi held back the tears of emotion and said with a smile: "Longyi, thank you, Empress Dowager."

Seeing that Longyi was so moved by her nonsense, Wan Yu felt a little sorry.Do you want to give Longyi another dowry?
