Eunuch's professionalism
Chapter 25
A group of people with unfamiliar faces walked in at the door, and they didn't even have a chance to stop them.
The eunuch uniforms on these people have specially customized patches, this is not a gray robed eunuch who casually goes out of their prison yard.
"Who are you..." Wang Fugui stammered.
After being stared at by this group of expressionless eunuchs, Wang Fugui fell silent.
This group of people is the team of the Empress Concubine De, and they usually have faces when they walk around the palace. Even if they are silent like this, they are different from the mental outlook of ordinary eunuchs. A few eyes and expressions may make the little eunuch angry Don't dare to come out.
The others in the house were silent, Ye Xin's matter was discovered, are they finished?
Until Fu Chen's pale and weak face appeared at the door, everyone suddenly seemed to see hope in despair.
The leading eunuch happened to be the two guards at the gate of Fuxi Palace before, named Taiping and Taihe. They are now very sure that Fu Chen has caught the eyes of the concubine Defei. The close concubine makes an exception like this, after all, it can't be offended, and maybe they will call others "Master" in a short time.
Taiping commanded people to carry away Ye Xin who was lying in a pool of blood, and smiled at Wang Fugui, who was in a sluggish state. Who said that this person might have a good relationship with Fu Chen, Fu Chen can't offend people who have a good relationship with him Naturally, I have to show some face, "Don't be nervous, we have learned about the matter here, and we are here to deal with it, don't you think so, Little Eunuch Fu?"
Wang Fugui's expression tightened, and he let out a foul breath when he saw Fu Chen nodding his head.
"Why is your complexion so bad?" Wang Fugui noticed that Fu Chen's complexion was pale, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
"It's nothing, I didn't sleep well at night." It was just a side effect of hypnosis, Fu Chen said to Wang Fugui again: "After this place is dealt with, follow me and leave."
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Fugui asked, "Where are you going?"
"Fuxi Palace."
"!" Wang Fugui was a little surprised, but Fu Chen didn't explain the reason anymore.
Fu Chen, who looked icy, felt too uncomfortable, and had to hold on so as not to fall down.Looking at Fu Chen like this, Wang Fugui felt a little strange, and grabbed the corner of his clothes suddenly, "What did you do?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was, how much did Fu Chen pay for this?Why did he know people from Fuxi Palace? If he knew so well, Fu Chen would have been promoted and made a fortune long ago, so why wait until now.Wang Fugui is not a yellow-mouthed child, and Fu Chen's desperate eyes when he left are always imprinted in his mind.
Just because Fu Chen didn't say anything, doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
"Don't worry, it will be fine." Fu Chen patted Wang Fugui's arm lightly.
This group of people moved very fast, and they wanted to do these shady things a lot, and the whole process was very quiet and efficient.A dirty place always needs someone to keep it resplendent and spotless.
After carrying Ye Xin out, he carried a few buckets of water to wash the ground clean, and then used a broom to pour the sewage mixed with blood into the bucket. After everything was processed, Taiping and the others were about to leave, "Little Eunuch Fu, Fuxi Palace will send someone to pick up your things later, we will leave first if there is nothing else to do."
"Okay, please excuse me, Eunuch Ping."
Taiping was full of smiles, "Where, where, you are welcome."
The people in the room looked at the eunuchs, whose nostrils were upturned, and everyone looked down on them. They were polite to Fu Chen and left with a smile.
Except for the faint smell of blood that was about to waft in the air, it seemed like nothing had happened in the house, but this matter was lingering in everyone's mind.
Fu Chen looked at the familiar faces and said with a faint smile, "Don't you all have sad faces, don't you congratulate me on my promotion?"
"Then... can we still call you Chenzi in the future? Are you still Chenzi?" Zhao Zhuo stood there at a loss. Anyone who was promoted might feel uncomfortable, but Fu Chen, it's too coincidental, who can believe that there is nothing wrong with it? Well, after staying in the palace for a long time, there are still a few innocent people, but they are not happy at all.
Fu Chen, who originally wanted to pretend to be indifferent, couldn't pretend when he heard this, "Of course, if you have anything to do in the future, come to Fuxi Palace to find me."
In fact, with his current relationship with Concubine De, he didn't want her to have a target for him, so he naturally wanted to keep a distance from these eunuchs.
"Today is my last day in the prison yard, and I will take Fugui away."
"Brother Chen Zi, will we have a chance to meet in the future?" Ji Ke threw himself into Fu Chen's arms.
"There will be." He patted the child on the back, it was as if he had watched the child grow up, and Fu Chen was also a little bit reluctant.
Fu Chen opened the drawer, and there were more than a dozen taels of silver saved by Chen Zuoren and a wooden box inside. The wooden box contained Chen Zuoren's life, and carefully put them into his arms.
Seeing Fu Chen's actions, the other people's noses were sour, let alone the noble master, sometimes even the high-ranking eunuchs didn't treat them as human beings, they were abused too much, sometimes they even looked down on themselves, even after death There is no family, and the feeling of being respected makes them feel good and comfortable.
The ashes of Chen Zuoren were placed in that box, and it was rare for the ashes to be treated with respect in the palace.
When Fu Chen left with Wang Fugui, he turned his back to everyone and said: "If you want to survive, you must become a useful slave, so that the masters are reluctant to kill you, I hope I can see each of you again in a few years. "
A few young eunuchs wiped the tears on their faces with their sleeves fiercely, Zhao Zhuo and others suddenly took a few steps forward, and the quiet atmosphere seemed to be lit with a fuse.
"Fu Chen, we won't hold you back!"
"We must all survive and become useful minions!"
"Don't be a little eunuch that no one cares about for the rest of your life."
Fu Chen turned his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
This is our agreement, the chances of one person surviving are not high, but what if we have a group?
In fact, Fu Chen didn't have many things. When he returned to Fuxi Palace, his annex was ready.In the side hall, an empty room was specially cleaned up for him. Even Fu Chen himself was quite surprised. Like the eunuch in charge of the courtyard, he actually had his own separate room.Even the maids who tidied up for him were amazed. Most of the servants could only live in the servant rooms in the apse, usually verandas and side rooms.
Concubine De has never been so generous to a slave, Fu Chen really set a record.
"Little Eunuch Fu, do you have any secrets to pass on to us? We still don't know what your mother likes." The maid was a third-class maid who specialized in cleaning and other tasks.
"Concentrate on serving your empress. What your empress thinks of, you have to do the best for your empress. What your empress doesn't think of, you have to think about for your empress in advance, and take it as your own responsibility to make your empress happy." Fu Chen's answer was almost textbook, but it was actually the most important thing in this palace. Need to understand.
"This mouth is really powerful. I can't say no to you. Since I don't want to say it, I won't force it." The maid heard the words, thought for a while, and seemed to realize something, then changed her face again, twisted her waist, and sneered leave.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Fu Chen's words, it's just because he gained face and made these people dislike him, so he just found a reason to hurt a few words.
What made the eunuchs and maids in the whole courtyard explode was that Concubine De actually gave her favorite decorations and utensils to this newly-appointed little eunuch.
Every empress and concubine has their own servants, and it is normal to promote a few, but they secretly hate those who sharpen their heads and want to climb up. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Fu Chen clearly felt the need to give rewards The eunuch praised the sarcastic words.
He looked like he didn't understand, the eunuch who came to deliver the things also saw Fu Chen's appearance, he really didn't understand, it didn't seem like a fake, he thought to himself, he didn't expect to be a fool.
Fu Chen respectfully sent all the people away, and then left with Wang Fugui who had been out of shape.
Go through the corridor and leave from the back door, which is where most of Fuxi Palace's servants live.
Wang Fugui didn't ask, and followed behind silently. The reason why he was able to pull himself together in the prison yard just now was because he didn't want so many people to accompany him to die. It doesn't matter where you go.
When Fu Chen opened a room and went in, he stood there blankly, looking at the people in the room.
The girl's whole body of clothes has been changed, but the bruises on her neck and the exposed scars still show what she has suffered. She has no expression on her face, and she is staring blankly at the front. Wang Fugui covered her mouth. , The whole body trembled like chaff.
"I have already mentioned to Empress Defei that you will take care of her in the backyard first. It stands to reason that eunuchs cannot live with maids of honor, so I applied for your house again. It is just next door. It is just a disguise. You don’t need a false name like Caihu, your task is to take good care of her and restore her sanity, maybe she won’t respond to you at first, but you can’t give up on her, keep waking her up, you don’t have to worry about the front hall. "Fu Chen has made all plans.
As long as hysteria is properly induced, and the people around you are the most cared about in the heart, there is a certain chance of recovery.
Turning around suddenly, Fu Chen saw that something was wrong and wanted to stop him, but Wang Fugui exerted all his strength and knelt down firmly on the ground.
The hoarse voice seemed to be roaring, "Fu Chen, you are looking down on me if you stop me!"
He knocked his head hard twenty times, his forehead was bloody and bloody, and he made a death-like determination.
"Fu Chen, my life is yours! Tell me what you want from now on." The determination in Wang Fugui's eyes was so obvious.
"I'm very selfish. I help you for my own sake. I don't want to be alone and wait for you to get better and help me."
"Chenzi, you are always like this. It seems that you don't want to be reconciled until people hate you if you don't speak badly about yourself. You are very hypocritical." Wang Fugui cried and laughed, stood up and slapped you hard. Fu Chen's shoulder.
"Thank you for the compliment." Fu Chen also responded with a smile.
At Haishi that night, Fu Chen, surrounded by red palace lanterns, walked as fast as he could to the rockery in Mingshenyuan. It was also the place where the second prince and his concubine had a tryst. It is not convenient for women to meet, and Mingshenyuan is an inaccessible place, so it is good for meeting.It was also Aunt Mei who gestured to Fu Chen outside the gate of the West No. Stop it.
Aunt Mei was very cautious, even if Fu Chen went into the rockery, she didn't make a sound, she just followed the light to confirm who was coming, and then came out of the hiding place.
"Don't worry, I've searched several times, and there's no one around here."
"Aunt Mei, I'm working in Fuxi Palace now, so it's inconvenient to come out."
"Fu Chen, there are also rumors in our firm about your promotion. They all say that you entered a high school and won the eyes of your empress, but I don't believe it. I want to hear you tell the truth."
"It's just like everyone said." Fu Chen hid his face in the shadow, and it was obscure.
"Are you going to tell the truth to me? I thought that after Li Xiangying's incident, we were at least on the same front."
"Aunt Mei, you know a lot of secrets, and you are not far from death."
Aunt Mei is a smart person. From these words, she heard some overtones, and had some vague guesses. She knew Fu Chen's cautious temperament, and it was very possible not to say it. Knowing about this matter would lead to decapitation disaster.
"I understand. I called you out today. First, I want to tell you that Li Xiangying has already recruited the two father-in-laws. He seems to suspect that the haunting in the courtyard was related to you, and he seems to have discovered that tobacco leaves are poisonous."
"How does he win over?" Fu Chen first asked the first question. The general manager's father-in-law is not so easy to win over. These father-in-laws are usually the emperor's people. Although they are not without double-mindedness, they also look down on Li Xiangying who relies on flattery. The third class father-in-law.
"It's the drugs sent by Ji Sang Kingdom. Li Xiangying disposes of the cigarette residues after the queen mother has used them up. He made a little manipulation of these things and mixed them with good tobacco leaves to honor the two stewards. Now the two stewards The manager is also very obsessed with this thing."
When Fu Chen heard this, the worry in his heart surfaced again, "We can't let this thing spread anymore."
"What is Aphrodisiac? The imperial physician said that it should not be used frequently, for fear of addiction."
"Things that can overthrow the dynasty." He remembered Jisang and Qiangwu's neighboring countries. Now the Qiangwu people are still invading the Northeast, the imperial court sent troops to fight, and there are still singing and dancing in the palace. They are used to fighting with thieves again and again, making peace again and again, and using a woman's life in exchange for a short-lived peace, but they don't want to be in Jin Taizong's time. Attack again when they are strong, never stop, these people can only be beaten to death and maimed!The cowardice of the court gave other countries a reason to invade.
A sternness flashed across Fu Chen's eyes, what if the emperor died suddenly?
He can be cold-blooded, selfish, and even benefit himself at the expense of others, but the righteousness of the nation is engraved in the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang. In this place that is very similar to another time and space, he seems to be there.
But now he doesn't even have the slightest power to change history.
The only thing he is lucky about now is that the drug cannot be widely distributed due to the low production volume, so it can only be supplied to the Queen Mother.
It turns out that in history, it took several dynasties before it radiated like a plague.
"To subvert the dynasty?" Mei Jue couldn't imagine how such a small thing could be involved in the dynasty. How could the dynasty be so easily subverted?
Fu Chen didn't want to say much, obviously he didn't intend to reveal more information.
It's still the same principle, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government. If he talks about the hidden dangers that may arise in his current position, he will only be beheaded as a lie to confuse the crowd, and he will not even make waves for current events and this dynasty.
"Li Xiangying doubts me? Why?" Fu Chen asked the second question. He believed in what he did behind the scenes, and the ending was very clean. It was impossible for Li Xiangying to doubt him.
"You still remember that Ye Xin was sent to the hospital for treatment today. I made excuses and went to the Imperial Hospital. While he was unconscious, I made a lot of noise. At that time, Li Xiangying hadn't caught the attention of the Queen Mother. He found out about his There was something strange about the tobacco leaves, so I checked the tobacco with an official I knew, and found that there was something wrong with them. The first thing he suspected was Ye Xin. Ye Xin said that you made it in order to protect himself. Ye Xin has always been against you. And you have sufficient motives, Chen Zuoren was killed by Li Xiangying, and Ye Xin believed Li because of this reason, so he tried every means to kill you." Mei Jue always thought that Fu Chen had put the poison of aconitum into tobacco leaves Here, she didn't expect Ye Xin to be right when he made mistakes.
Fu Chen finally understood why Li Xiangying, who had always treated him well, suddenly wanted to send him to Concubine Qi.
"It's not me. I haven't released the aconitum poison." Even if he releases it, he will not let Li Xiangying notice the abnormality and trace the source. Fu Chen will not leave such an obvious clue, "The poison should be Ye Xin. I voted myself."
"He was promoted by Li Xiangying, why would he harm his immediate boss instead?" Mei Jue couldn't figure it out.
"At that time, we tricked him into going crazy, and he was finally dismissed and locked up in his own courtyard. At that time, Ye Xin probably felt that Li Xiangying was of no use to him. As long as Li was alive, Ye Xin would not be able to blatantly Taking refuge in others, in order to get it done once and for all, he simply does nothing and kills people. It’s just that no one thought that Li could climb up to the Queen Mother.” Fu Chen substituted himself into Ye Xin’s character, and almost guessed that it was almost the same as the truth.
"He's so ruthless! This person deserves his death!" Mei Jue didn't expect there to be such a vicious person in the world.
"Auntie has seen a lot, aren't you used to it?"
"I can't get used to this kind of thing no matter how many times, but I probably want to be such a cruel person." Mei Jue laughed at herself, "If you stay in the palace for a long time, people will gradually change."
"What do you mean?"
"Fu Chen, this is also the second reason why I asked you to meet. I want to become a favorite concubine."
"Why did you tell me this?" Fu Chen raised his eyes, hiding all his surprise.
He knew that Aunt Mei had always wanted to leave the palace, she was not pretending to evade, she was not putting on a show, otherwise she would have been accepted by the emperor into the harem with her appearance, and even the most beautiful concubine Li in the harem was not at all in comparison. Difference.
Mei Jue was about to speak, but Fu Chen quickly grabbed her and hid in the hidden shadow beside her.
While the two were talking, Fu Chen kept paying attention to his surroundings.
"Is anyone there?" A worried female voice came from not far away.
"Don't worry, there will be no one else at this time!" Another man assured.
These two voices are familiar, and Fu Chen's memory almost guessed the coming person at the next moment, the second prince Shao Huayang and Qi Gui, the second prince is the only one who opened a mansion outside the palace and can stay in the palace for a long time Overnight Prince.
After what happened last time, they still dare!Fu Chen has a new understanding of the second prince's domineering.
Maybe it was because after being smashed by the third prince last time, after a period of time, the situation was calm, and because the third prince was ordered by the emperor to deal with the robbery of disaster money, it is even more impossible to appear in the palace now, these two people instead Feel more exciting.
Mei Jue didn't know what it was at first, but later she realized what it was when she heard the sounds of clothes rubbing against each other and men and women having sex, and her heart was also turbulent.
Surrounded by rockery here, it is not difficult to hide at night when the view is poor, but Shao Huayang has experience, and first explored the rockery. Fortunately, Fu Chen took it with him, and the two of them several times They were almost touched, and they barely avoided it.
Fortunately, this time there was no mischief from Tang Yuan, the cat. The two of them could only hold their breath and listened to the whole hot scene with their ears. Aunt Mei, as a woman who has not left the court, was a bit too much, but this situation is impossible now. To go out, you can only wait in the dark with Fu Chen until the two leave.
Fortunately, the speed of those two people was also very fast, and it was only a cup of tea to finish everything.
After the two people left completely, Aunt Mei let out a heavy breath.
"He...they?"
"You mean His Highness the Second Highness and Concubine Qi Gui?"
"You're not surprised at all." She felt that Fu Chen was too calm, as if something happened, Fu Chen always looked like this.
"Because it's not the first time."
"If the emperor knows..." Then he denied this idea, let's not say that it counts only if he is caught on the spot, it is her current status and Fu Chen's status, who will believe it, and will be dealt with by these two people, let's say, What does it have to do with them.
"Continue with what you just said, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Because of the accident just now, Mei Jue sped up her speech, "I only knew that you were the emperor's shaving master, but now you are working with Concubine De, it just increased my idea of cooperating with you."
"Auntie, do you know what you are doing? In a few years, you will have a chance to be released from the palace!"
"Fu Chen, it's useless!" Mei Jue smiled wryly, "Do you know what Li Xiangying said? He said that Xiaoyang was only the first one, and it would be my turn soon. Not afraid, but now, I can't wait until then, then it will be too late!"
"I'll help you and concubine De to accommodate and send you there." This was his only way.
"The more you ask, the more you pay. Fu Chen, I can't just let you resist alone. Besides, if the emperor really sees me, how can he let me go." She suddenly raised her head and said, There was a light in his eyes, "Do you know who completely changed my mind? It was you... When all of us resigned to our fate, only you were willing to find a way to avenge Chen Zuoren. At that time, I told myself that I was just—— I don’t want to be numb anymore! I want to be the master of this person. I have been running away for ten years, and only now do I understand that if you don’t climb up this palace, your life will always be in the hands of others, your own, the one you care about... "
"Why did you choose me? Do you know that if this matter gets out, you and I will be executed."
"You underestimate yourself too much. Who can rise as fast as you after three years in the palace? It's because you never know what you want. You are even more sober than all of us. Fu Chen, I don't think so except you. Others can help me."
"But I never take risks." After a moment of silence, under Mei Jue's gaze, she gave the answer.
"I know, in fact, I probably guessed your answer when I came here. You are too planned... I just want to try." Mei Jue turned around with a wry smile, ready to leave.
"Having said so much, you really want to avenge Xiaoyang, don't you? If you don't take over, only the second Xiaoyang is waiting for you. For yourself, for Xiaoyang, you can no longer sit and wait for death."
"As expected of Fu Chen, I've always known that you hide deeper than anyone else."
"So, you've decided?" Fu Chen's voice was a bit ethereal.
"Yes." Because I had no choice.
"The you you are now is not enough to make His Majesty fascinated by you." Fu Chen's deep gaze,
"Ah?" Mei Jue turned around in surprise, thinking that she had an auditory hallucination.
"To become a favorite concubine, appearance is not enough. Your Majesty has seen countless beauties, and her appearance is like fine wine. If you are infatuated for a while, you will not be infatuated for a long time. If you believe me, then let me transform you." Fu Chen looked into this woman's eyes. , Seeing the disobedience, they were all unwilling. He had no reason not to help her. "Let us create a generation of prosperous and beloved concubines."
After meeting Mei Jue, Fu Chen quietly returned to the side hall of Fuxi Palace.
After opening the door, I was about to remove the self-made latch placed on the threshold, but it was empty!This is to prevent someone from entering the door without knowing it, and the self-made latch is fragile, and there is no special way to break it no matter how you open the door.
Empty, there is only one reason, someone has been in.
He felt the atmosphere in the room at the door, and was sure that there was no one there.
He walked in, lit the candle, moved to the door, and saw the broken bolt and a piece of paper that was poked thinner than a needle.
Fu Chen rubbed it repeatedly with his fingers before poking the note open. On the crumpled paper was written: Harm.
The signature is, Peach Blossom Cake.
Who would use such a covert method to convey information, as long as he is a little careless, he will definitely not be able to see such a thin note. The point is, the person who wrote this note knows him.
It must not be the people from the prison yard, because those people can't do it so meticulously without leaving any traces.
Peach Blossom Cake, Fu Chen searched a circle of acquaintances, and none of them had the three words peach, flower and cake.
Then it's homophonic.
After thinking for a long time, I found nothing.
Fu Chen put the note on the candle and burned it.
When I went to fetch water to wash, I ran into other eunuchs in the palace, not Taiping Taihe, they also saw Fu Chen, they smiled a little, and they greeted each other and left. When he entered the palace, Fu Chen also encountered this kind of situation in the prison courtyard.It takes a process for a newcomer to integrate into an unfamiliar environment, and this process may make enemies or make allies.
Because of Concubine De's appreciation, they didn't do anything blatantly, even if they said sarcasm, they couldn't hear it.
But Fu Chen can clearly feel their xenophobia, who made him an "airborne soldier", they have worked so hard for so many years and have not made it through, and he doesn't know what method he used to catch his eye, and suddenly surpassed these veterans The eunuch became a celebrity in front of Concubine De.
At this time, it is unnecessary to have the cheek to please them.
Fu Chen walked through the yard, saw the peach trees planted, and suddenly remembered.
peach cake!
It was the cake he often gave to the Seventh Prince, because it was the season of peach blossoms in full bloom at that time, and the pastry chefs in the dining room collected a lot of peach blossoms. This cake was also a seasonal cake, but because it was collected and stored in time, it could be eaten for a long time.
Harm can have many meanings.
Such as fear, embarrassment, injury, disaster...
If it was really Shao Huachi who was delivering the news, what was he afraid of, or...someone was trying to kill him?
Who wants to harm him, and although he is still "stupid" now, the emperor feels extremely guilty for the mother and son because of Concubine Li's injustice. For him, he even invited the national teacher to treat him. he.
Or secretly, so who could it be, the queen, or someone else?
He remembered that the cronies around the Seventh Prince had already been released from the cold palace. Although there were not many of them, it was probably his turn.
Thinking of this, Fu Chen extinguished the candlelight, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Fu Chen gradually got used to life in Fuxi Palace, he didn't have much work, he changed to Koudan for a while, and was occasionally called to talk about some interesting things.
Concubine De has someone who is dedicated to serving her, and everyone has a clear division of labor. If he is added suddenly, it will not be easy to arrange work.
Concubine De is relatively quiet here. She is a very sentimental person, she doesn't bother to engage in coercion, and she will not be eager to have a substantive relationship with Fu Chen. Like Chen together, she likes the natural process, a kind of hormone that attracts each other between men and women, instead of forcing something, this is a high-end enjoyment of feelings.
So for a period of time, at most, he only had some exchanges with Concubine De's eyebrows, and Fu Chen could guess her meaning very accurately every time, which made her feel very pleasantly surprised and close. He knew that she was very happy to enjoy this kind of Interactions that no one will notice.
She thoughtfully arranged a position for Fu Chen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there are not many things to do, she can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do things. This is also indirectly paving the way for Fu Chen to get closer to Liu Zong. Fu Chen thought of Murui Da is a concubine of De, and almost everyone thinks that Muruida is appreciated by Liu Zong, who has the same personality because of his serious and fair personality. Now it seems that there is a deeper connection between the two.
When Liu Zong saw Fu Chen this time, when he had a private conversation for the first time, he gave him a big thumbs up.
"Congratulations, you have been promoted to another level so quickly!" Liu Zonggang was ordered by the emperor to promote Fu Chen to the fourth rank a few days ago. It is considered rare in the Jin Dynasty, which one has not survived for decades.
"Forget about others, Mr. Liu, you are making fun of me by saying that!" Fu Chen's words were a little intimate, which made Liu Zong feel very comfortable.
"I can't see it. Our family only asked you to find a palace to avoid Li Xiangying's dispatch the day before. You gave me a big shock that day. Do you know that when the master of Fuxi Palace was still the prince from the Holy One, There has never been a new addition to the courtyard, you are the first person to be spoken to by the empress in more than ten years, I have to admire you!" Liu Zong said with emotion, speaking more casually than before, faintly treating Fu Chen as himself People see the meaning.
The slight change in Liu Zong's attitude made Fu Chen more certain that Liu Zong was also a concubine.
There are two lifelines in the harem, one is the house of internal affairs, and the other is the dining room.
This woman, to some extent, is the biggest winner in the harem.
Fu Chen has been walking around in the House of Internal Affairs for the past few days, because Wang Fugui's original job was to monitor the cleanliness, and now he devotes all his energy to taking care of Xiao Yang. Go to Sidaomen.
"By the way, we'll be busy again after the show girls are selected these days." The show girls have gone through the line selection, the primary selection, and the re-election, and now they are about to be selected.
"Another happy event?"
"It is His Highness the Fifteenth who will be sent to Qiangwu as a hostage, and we will leave in twenty days. During this period, we must prepare everything for His Highness the Fifteenth."
"Your Highness Fifteenth, did you hear me right?" He remembered that he had heard Shao Hua Pond when he was in Changning Palace, so how could it be Lord Fifteenth.
"How could our family hear it wrong, it is His Royal Highness the Fifteenth, what's wrong?"
"No, I'm just curious. Isn't that the Empress Dowager the most?" Fu Chen's doubts may be in the minds of many people. Being able to ask such a question is also the relationship between him and Liu Zong who are becoming more and more familiar now. , Moreover, Liu Zong regards him as "one of his own" now.
"Just because it's a descendant, sending it out can show the sincerity of our Great Jin." In fact, Liu Zong didn't understand how he became the queen's youngest son despite being favored by so many princes.
That's the queen's lifeblood!
After coming out of the House of Internal Affairs, it didn’t take long to arrive at Sidaomen. After Chen Zuoren and others left a few days ago, a lot of places were vacated in the Prison Court. Many young eunuchs have multiple jobs. Fu Chen himself is also in the same situation. , I will be on business here for a while, and I may go elsewhere after a while.
Because of the new batch of beautiful girls coming, the palace needs to add people, and the new little eunuch was sent to the palace again. Fu Chen also had this experience a few years ago, but now his identity has been reversed from that of the past. .
In the Jin Dynasty, there were different reasons for being sent to the palace for purification, and there were roughly several types. The most common ones were people like Fu Chen, because the family was so poor that they were starving to death, and there was nothing they could do about it.The rest are abduction and trafficking agencies, which have existed since ancient times. In ancient times, children were almost free-ranged. Sometimes the traffickers carried each other away, and the people disappeared in a blink of an eye. In ancient times, this information-underdeveloped place disappeared. It's just that I won't see you again for the rest of my life.There is also a kind of parents who forcibly sell people into the palace. There are many children, and it is not too little to sell one; Eunuchs and accidents.
Due to these circumstances, there was never a shortage of eunuchs in the Jin Dynasty. The number of eunuchs in the harem was said to be two thousand and eight, which was only an approximate number, and generally far exceeded.
Fu Chen came to a verandah. This is a courtyard with two entrances. It is not big. In Sidaomen, eunuchs who have just been cleansed usually faint from pain. They all recuperate here. Normally, they need to rest for ten days. It lasts for about 20 days, during which the body may be too weak to survive.
When Fu Chen arrived at the door, two young eunuchs on duty saw him and bowed to greet him, "Master Fu, you are here."
"Well, how's their situation?" Fu Chen responded, not evading their titles.
This is the rule in the palace, although Fu Chen is younger than them, but in terms of seniority in the palace, Fu Chen is two levels higher than them.
"The recovery is not bad. Several of them have been able to come down and walk around. They should be fine."
Fu Chen nodded.
It is not easy for ordinary people to sneak into the palace. Many eunuchs serve the nobles in the palace. How could they let them go carelessly? Not everyone can enter the palace. At least in this life, they must be harmless to the court.After so many dynasties, the inspection in this area has become more detailed. Each eunuch's birthplace, name, and reason for entering the palace will be investigated locally, and these information will be recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In fact, the little eunuch's answer was expected by Fu Chen, because when he was monitoring this group of people, he found that there was a group of people in it who were very special. They also looked thin and thin, and most people would not think there was anything strange about it. .But after careful observation, it can be found that this is a group of Lianjiazi. Fu Chen even made some tests without any trace, and the result is that this group of people is not simple.
Possessing martial arts means purifying the body, and the physical fitness is also good.
It's just that the reason why such a group of people entered the palace was "the family is poor". How could it be possible?
Before Fu Chen went in, the little eunuch stopped him again, "Master Fu, the Chonghua Palace said just now that they are here to pick someone up."
It is a common practice that whenever there is a shortage of people in the palace, they will come to pick people.
As for the Chonghua Palace, since the Seventh Prince regained his favor, there were already very few people serving him, so naturally they had to add people.
Fu Chen responded lightly, "Okay, I understand."
The eunuch uniforms on these people have specially customized patches, this is not a gray robed eunuch who casually goes out of their prison yard.
"Who are you..." Wang Fugui stammered.
After being stared at by this group of expressionless eunuchs, Wang Fugui fell silent.
This group of people is the team of the Empress Concubine De, and they usually have faces when they walk around the palace. Even if they are silent like this, they are different from the mental outlook of ordinary eunuchs. A few eyes and expressions may make the little eunuch angry Don't dare to come out.
The others in the house were silent, Ye Xin's matter was discovered, are they finished?
Until Fu Chen's pale and weak face appeared at the door, everyone suddenly seemed to see hope in despair.
The leading eunuch happened to be the two guards at the gate of Fuxi Palace before, named Taiping and Taihe. They are now very sure that Fu Chen has caught the eyes of the concubine Defei. The close concubine makes an exception like this, after all, it can't be offended, and maybe they will call others "Master" in a short time.
Taiping commanded people to carry away Ye Xin who was lying in a pool of blood, and smiled at Wang Fugui, who was in a sluggish state. Who said that this person might have a good relationship with Fu Chen, Fu Chen can't offend people who have a good relationship with him Naturally, I have to show some face, "Don't be nervous, we have learned about the matter here, and we are here to deal with it, don't you think so, Little Eunuch Fu?"
Wang Fugui's expression tightened, and he let out a foul breath when he saw Fu Chen nodding his head.
"Why is your complexion so bad?" Wang Fugui noticed that Fu Chen's complexion was pale, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
"It's nothing, I didn't sleep well at night." It was just a side effect of hypnosis, Fu Chen said to Wang Fugui again: "After this place is dealt with, follow me and leave."
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Fugui asked, "Where are you going?"
"Fuxi Palace."
"!" Wang Fugui was a little surprised, but Fu Chen didn't explain the reason anymore.
Fu Chen, who looked icy, felt too uncomfortable, and had to hold on so as not to fall down.Looking at Fu Chen like this, Wang Fugui felt a little strange, and grabbed the corner of his clothes suddenly, "What did you do?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was, how much did Fu Chen pay for this?Why did he know people from Fuxi Palace? If he knew so well, Fu Chen would have been promoted and made a fortune long ago, so why wait until now.Wang Fugui is not a yellow-mouthed child, and Fu Chen's desperate eyes when he left are always imprinted in his mind.
Just because Fu Chen didn't say anything, doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
"Don't worry, it will be fine." Fu Chen patted Wang Fugui's arm lightly.
This group of people moved very fast, and they wanted to do these shady things a lot, and the whole process was very quiet and efficient.A dirty place always needs someone to keep it resplendent and spotless.
After carrying Ye Xin out, he carried a few buckets of water to wash the ground clean, and then used a broom to pour the sewage mixed with blood into the bucket. After everything was processed, Taiping and the others were about to leave, "Little Eunuch Fu, Fuxi Palace will send someone to pick up your things later, we will leave first if there is nothing else to do."
"Okay, please excuse me, Eunuch Ping."
Taiping was full of smiles, "Where, where, you are welcome."
The people in the room looked at the eunuchs, whose nostrils were upturned, and everyone looked down on them. They were polite to Fu Chen and left with a smile.
Except for the faint smell of blood that was about to waft in the air, it seemed like nothing had happened in the house, but this matter was lingering in everyone's mind.
Fu Chen looked at the familiar faces and said with a faint smile, "Don't you all have sad faces, don't you congratulate me on my promotion?"
"Then... can we still call you Chenzi in the future? Are you still Chenzi?" Zhao Zhuo stood there at a loss. Anyone who was promoted might feel uncomfortable, but Fu Chen, it's too coincidental, who can believe that there is nothing wrong with it? Well, after staying in the palace for a long time, there are still a few innocent people, but they are not happy at all.
Fu Chen, who originally wanted to pretend to be indifferent, couldn't pretend when he heard this, "Of course, if you have anything to do in the future, come to Fuxi Palace to find me."
In fact, with his current relationship with Concubine De, he didn't want her to have a target for him, so he naturally wanted to keep a distance from these eunuchs.
"Today is my last day in the prison yard, and I will take Fugui away."
"Brother Chen Zi, will we have a chance to meet in the future?" Ji Ke threw himself into Fu Chen's arms.
"There will be." He patted the child on the back, it was as if he had watched the child grow up, and Fu Chen was also a little bit reluctant.
Fu Chen opened the drawer, and there were more than a dozen taels of silver saved by Chen Zuoren and a wooden box inside. The wooden box contained Chen Zuoren's life, and carefully put them into his arms.
Seeing Fu Chen's actions, the other people's noses were sour, let alone the noble master, sometimes even the high-ranking eunuchs didn't treat them as human beings, they were abused too much, sometimes they even looked down on themselves, even after death There is no family, and the feeling of being respected makes them feel good and comfortable.
The ashes of Chen Zuoren were placed in that box, and it was rare for the ashes to be treated with respect in the palace.
When Fu Chen left with Wang Fugui, he turned his back to everyone and said: "If you want to survive, you must become a useful slave, so that the masters are reluctant to kill you, I hope I can see each of you again in a few years. "
A few young eunuchs wiped the tears on their faces with their sleeves fiercely, Zhao Zhuo and others suddenly took a few steps forward, and the quiet atmosphere seemed to be lit with a fuse.
"Fu Chen, we won't hold you back!"
"We must all survive and become useful minions!"
"Don't be a little eunuch that no one cares about for the rest of your life."
Fu Chen turned his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
This is our agreement, the chances of one person surviving are not high, but what if we have a group?
In fact, Fu Chen didn't have many things. When he returned to Fuxi Palace, his annex was ready.In the side hall, an empty room was specially cleaned up for him. Even Fu Chen himself was quite surprised. Like the eunuch in charge of the courtyard, he actually had his own separate room.Even the maids who tidied up for him were amazed. Most of the servants could only live in the servant rooms in the apse, usually verandas and side rooms.
Concubine De has never been so generous to a slave, Fu Chen really set a record.
"Little Eunuch Fu, do you have any secrets to pass on to us? We still don't know what your mother likes." The maid was a third-class maid who specialized in cleaning and other tasks.
"Concentrate on serving your empress. What your empress thinks of, you have to do the best for your empress. What your empress doesn't think of, you have to think about for your empress in advance, and take it as your own responsibility to make your empress happy." Fu Chen's answer was almost textbook, but it was actually the most important thing in this palace. Need to understand.
"This mouth is really powerful. I can't say no to you. Since I don't want to say it, I won't force it." The maid heard the words, thought for a while, and seemed to realize something, then changed her face again, twisted her waist, and sneered leave.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Fu Chen's words, it's just because he gained face and made these people dislike him, so he just found a reason to hurt a few words.
What made the eunuchs and maids in the whole courtyard explode was that Concubine De actually gave her favorite decorations and utensils to this newly-appointed little eunuch.
Every empress and concubine has their own servants, and it is normal to promote a few, but they secretly hate those who sharpen their heads and want to climb up. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Fu Chen clearly felt the need to give rewards The eunuch praised the sarcastic words.
He looked like he didn't understand, the eunuch who came to deliver the things also saw Fu Chen's appearance, he really didn't understand, it didn't seem like a fake, he thought to himself, he didn't expect to be a fool.
Fu Chen respectfully sent all the people away, and then left with Wang Fugui who had been out of shape.
Go through the corridor and leave from the back door, which is where most of Fuxi Palace's servants live.
Wang Fugui didn't ask, and followed behind silently. The reason why he was able to pull himself together in the prison yard just now was because he didn't want so many people to accompany him to die. It doesn't matter where you go.
When Fu Chen opened a room and went in, he stood there blankly, looking at the people in the room.
The girl's whole body of clothes has been changed, but the bruises on her neck and the exposed scars still show what she has suffered. She has no expression on her face, and she is staring blankly at the front. Wang Fugui covered her mouth. , The whole body trembled like chaff.
"I have already mentioned to Empress Defei that you will take care of her in the backyard first. It stands to reason that eunuchs cannot live with maids of honor, so I applied for your house again. It is just next door. It is just a disguise. You don’t need a false name like Caihu, your task is to take good care of her and restore her sanity, maybe she won’t respond to you at first, but you can’t give up on her, keep waking her up, you don’t have to worry about the front hall. "Fu Chen has made all plans.
As long as hysteria is properly induced, and the people around you are the most cared about in the heart, there is a certain chance of recovery.
Turning around suddenly, Fu Chen saw that something was wrong and wanted to stop him, but Wang Fugui exerted all his strength and knelt down firmly on the ground.
The hoarse voice seemed to be roaring, "Fu Chen, you are looking down on me if you stop me!"
He knocked his head hard twenty times, his forehead was bloody and bloody, and he made a death-like determination.
"Fu Chen, my life is yours! Tell me what you want from now on." The determination in Wang Fugui's eyes was so obvious.
"I'm very selfish. I help you for my own sake. I don't want to be alone and wait for you to get better and help me."
"Chenzi, you are always like this. It seems that you don't want to be reconciled until people hate you if you don't speak badly about yourself. You are very hypocritical." Wang Fugui cried and laughed, stood up and slapped you hard. Fu Chen's shoulder.
"Thank you for the compliment." Fu Chen also responded with a smile.
At Haishi that night, Fu Chen, surrounded by red palace lanterns, walked as fast as he could to the rockery in Mingshenyuan. It was also the place where the second prince and his concubine had a tryst. It is not convenient for women to meet, and Mingshenyuan is an inaccessible place, so it is good for meeting.It was also Aunt Mei who gestured to Fu Chen outside the gate of the West No. Stop it.
Aunt Mei was very cautious, even if Fu Chen went into the rockery, she didn't make a sound, she just followed the light to confirm who was coming, and then came out of the hiding place.
"Don't worry, I've searched several times, and there's no one around here."
"Aunt Mei, I'm working in Fuxi Palace now, so it's inconvenient to come out."
"Fu Chen, there are also rumors in our firm about your promotion. They all say that you entered a high school and won the eyes of your empress, but I don't believe it. I want to hear you tell the truth."
"It's just like everyone said." Fu Chen hid his face in the shadow, and it was obscure.
"Are you going to tell the truth to me? I thought that after Li Xiangying's incident, we were at least on the same front."
"Aunt Mei, you know a lot of secrets, and you are not far from death."
Aunt Mei is a smart person. From these words, she heard some overtones, and had some vague guesses. She knew Fu Chen's cautious temperament, and it was very possible not to say it. Knowing about this matter would lead to decapitation disaster.
"I understand. I called you out today. First, I want to tell you that Li Xiangying has already recruited the two father-in-laws. He seems to suspect that the haunting in the courtyard was related to you, and he seems to have discovered that tobacco leaves are poisonous."
"How does he win over?" Fu Chen first asked the first question. The general manager's father-in-law is not so easy to win over. These father-in-laws are usually the emperor's people. Although they are not without double-mindedness, they also look down on Li Xiangying who relies on flattery. The third class father-in-law.
"It's the drugs sent by Ji Sang Kingdom. Li Xiangying disposes of the cigarette residues after the queen mother has used them up. He made a little manipulation of these things and mixed them with good tobacco leaves to honor the two stewards. Now the two stewards The manager is also very obsessed with this thing."
When Fu Chen heard this, the worry in his heart surfaced again, "We can't let this thing spread anymore."
"What is Aphrodisiac? The imperial physician said that it should not be used frequently, for fear of addiction."
"Things that can overthrow the dynasty." He remembered Jisang and Qiangwu's neighboring countries. Now the Qiangwu people are still invading the Northeast, the imperial court sent troops to fight, and there are still singing and dancing in the palace. They are used to fighting with thieves again and again, making peace again and again, and using a woman's life in exchange for a short-lived peace, but they don't want to be in Jin Taizong's time. Attack again when they are strong, never stop, these people can only be beaten to death and maimed!The cowardice of the court gave other countries a reason to invade.
A sternness flashed across Fu Chen's eyes, what if the emperor died suddenly?
He can be cold-blooded, selfish, and even benefit himself at the expense of others, but the righteousness of the nation is engraved in the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang. In this place that is very similar to another time and space, he seems to be there.
But now he doesn't even have the slightest power to change history.
The only thing he is lucky about now is that the drug cannot be widely distributed due to the low production volume, so it can only be supplied to the Queen Mother.
It turns out that in history, it took several dynasties before it radiated like a plague.
"To subvert the dynasty?" Mei Jue couldn't imagine how such a small thing could be involved in the dynasty. How could the dynasty be so easily subverted?
Fu Chen didn't want to say much, obviously he didn't intend to reveal more information.
It's still the same principle, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government. If he talks about the hidden dangers that may arise in his current position, he will only be beheaded as a lie to confuse the crowd, and he will not even make waves for current events and this dynasty.
"Li Xiangying doubts me? Why?" Fu Chen asked the second question. He believed in what he did behind the scenes, and the ending was very clean. It was impossible for Li Xiangying to doubt him.
"You still remember that Ye Xin was sent to the hospital for treatment today. I made excuses and went to the Imperial Hospital. While he was unconscious, I made a lot of noise. At that time, Li Xiangying hadn't caught the attention of the Queen Mother. He found out about his There was something strange about the tobacco leaves, so I checked the tobacco with an official I knew, and found that there was something wrong with them. The first thing he suspected was Ye Xin. Ye Xin said that you made it in order to protect himself. Ye Xin has always been against you. And you have sufficient motives, Chen Zuoren was killed by Li Xiangying, and Ye Xin believed Li because of this reason, so he tried every means to kill you." Mei Jue always thought that Fu Chen had put the poison of aconitum into tobacco leaves Here, she didn't expect Ye Xin to be right when he made mistakes.
Fu Chen finally understood why Li Xiangying, who had always treated him well, suddenly wanted to send him to Concubine Qi.
"It's not me. I haven't released the aconitum poison." Even if he releases it, he will not let Li Xiangying notice the abnormality and trace the source. Fu Chen will not leave such an obvious clue, "The poison should be Ye Xin. I voted myself."
"He was promoted by Li Xiangying, why would he harm his immediate boss instead?" Mei Jue couldn't figure it out.
"At that time, we tricked him into going crazy, and he was finally dismissed and locked up in his own courtyard. At that time, Ye Xin probably felt that Li Xiangying was of no use to him. As long as Li was alive, Ye Xin would not be able to blatantly Taking refuge in others, in order to get it done once and for all, he simply does nothing and kills people. It’s just that no one thought that Li could climb up to the Queen Mother.” Fu Chen substituted himself into Ye Xin’s character, and almost guessed that it was almost the same as the truth.
"He's so ruthless! This person deserves his death!" Mei Jue didn't expect there to be such a vicious person in the world.
"Auntie has seen a lot, aren't you used to it?"
"I can't get used to this kind of thing no matter how many times, but I probably want to be such a cruel person." Mei Jue laughed at herself, "If you stay in the palace for a long time, people will gradually change."
"What do you mean?"
"Fu Chen, this is also the second reason why I asked you to meet. I want to become a favorite concubine."
"Why did you tell me this?" Fu Chen raised his eyes, hiding all his surprise.
He knew that Aunt Mei had always wanted to leave the palace, she was not pretending to evade, she was not putting on a show, otherwise she would have been accepted by the emperor into the harem with her appearance, and even the most beautiful concubine Li in the harem was not at all in comparison. Difference.
Mei Jue was about to speak, but Fu Chen quickly grabbed her and hid in the hidden shadow beside her.
While the two were talking, Fu Chen kept paying attention to his surroundings.
"Is anyone there?" A worried female voice came from not far away.
"Don't worry, there will be no one else at this time!" Another man assured.
These two voices are familiar, and Fu Chen's memory almost guessed the coming person at the next moment, the second prince Shao Huayang and Qi Gui, the second prince is the only one who opened a mansion outside the palace and can stay in the palace for a long time Overnight Prince.
After what happened last time, they still dare!Fu Chen has a new understanding of the second prince's domineering.
Maybe it was because after being smashed by the third prince last time, after a period of time, the situation was calm, and because the third prince was ordered by the emperor to deal with the robbery of disaster money, it is even more impossible to appear in the palace now, these two people instead Feel more exciting.
Mei Jue didn't know what it was at first, but later she realized what it was when she heard the sounds of clothes rubbing against each other and men and women having sex, and her heart was also turbulent.
Surrounded by rockery here, it is not difficult to hide at night when the view is poor, but Shao Huayang has experience, and first explored the rockery. Fortunately, Fu Chen took it with him, and the two of them several times They were almost touched, and they barely avoided it.
Fortunately, this time there was no mischief from Tang Yuan, the cat. The two of them could only hold their breath and listened to the whole hot scene with their ears. Aunt Mei, as a woman who has not left the court, was a bit too much, but this situation is impossible now. To go out, you can only wait in the dark with Fu Chen until the two leave.
Fortunately, the speed of those two people was also very fast, and it was only a cup of tea to finish everything.
After the two people left completely, Aunt Mei let out a heavy breath.
"He...they?"
"You mean His Highness the Second Highness and Concubine Qi Gui?"
"You're not surprised at all." She felt that Fu Chen was too calm, as if something happened, Fu Chen always looked like this.
"Because it's not the first time."
"If the emperor knows..." Then he denied this idea, let's not say that it counts only if he is caught on the spot, it is her current status and Fu Chen's status, who will believe it, and will be dealt with by these two people, let's say, What does it have to do with them.
"Continue with what you just said, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Because of the accident just now, Mei Jue sped up her speech, "I only knew that you were the emperor's shaving master, but now you are working with Concubine De, it just increased my idea of cooperating with you."
"Auntie, do you know what you are doing? In a few years, you will have a chance to be released from the palace!"
"Fu Chen, it's useless!" Mei Jue smiled wryly, "Do you know what Li Xiangying said? He said that Xiaoyang was only the first one, and it would be my turn soon. Not afraid, but now, I can't wait until then, then it will be too late!"
"I'll help you and concubine De to accommodate and send you there." This was his only way.
"The more you ask, the more you pay. Fu Chen, I can't just let you resist alone. Besides, if the emperor really sees me, how can he let me go." She suddenly raised her head and said, There was a light in his eyes, "Do you know who completely changed my mind? It was you... When all of us resigned to our fate, only you were willing to find a way to avenge Chen Zuoren. At that time, I told myself that I was just—— I don’t want to be numb anymore! I want to be the master of this person. I have been running away for ten years, and only now do I understand that if you don’t climb up this palace, your life will always be in the hands of others, your own, the one you care about... "
"Why did you choose me? Do you know that if this matter gets out, you and I will be executed."
"You underestimate yourself too much. Who can rise as fast as you after three years in the palace? It's because you never know what you want. You are even more sober than all of us. Fu Chen, I don't think so except you. Others can help me."
"But I never take risks." After a moment of silence, under Mei Jue's gaze, she gave the answer.
"I know, in fact, I probably guessed your answer when I came here. You are too planned... I just want to try." Mei Jue turned around with a wry smile, ready to leave.
"Having said so much, you really want to avenge Xiaoyang, don't you? If you don't take over, only the second Xiaoyang is waiting for you. For yourself, for Xiaoyang, you can no longer sit and wait for death."
"As expected of Fu Chen, I've always known that you hide deeper than anyone else."
"So, you've decided?" Fu Chen's voice was a bit ethereal.
"Yes." Because I had no choice.
"The you you are now is not enough to make His Majesty fascinated by you." Fu Chen's deep gaze,
"Ah?" Mei Jue turned around in surprise, thinking that she had an auditory hallucination.
"To become a favorite concubine, appearance is not enough. Your Majesty has seen countless beauties, and her appearance is like fine wine. If you are infatuated for a while, you will not be infatuated for a long time. If you believe me, then let me transform you." Fu Chen looked into this woman's eyes. , Seeing the disobedience, they were all unwilling. He had no reason not to help her. "Let us create a generation of prosperous and beloved concubines."
After meeting Mei Jue, Fu Chen quietly returned to the side hall of Fuxi Palace.
After opening the door, I was about to remove the self-made latch placed on the threshold, but it was empty!This is to prevent someone from entering the door without knowing it, and the self-made latch is fragile, and there is no special way to break it no matter how you open the door.
Empty, there is only one reason, someone has been in.
He felt the atmosphere in the room at the door, and was sure that there was no one there.
He walked in, lit the candle, moved to the door, and saw the broken bolt and a piece of paper that was poked thinner than a needle.
Fu Chen rubbed it repeatedly with his fingers before poking the note open. On the crumpled paper was written: Harm.
The signature is, Peach Blossom Cake.
Who would use such a covert method to convey information, as long as he is a little careless, he will definitely not be able to see such a thin note. The point is, the person who wrote this note knows him.
It must not be the people from the prison yard, because those people can't do it so meticulously without leaving any traces.
Peach Blossom Cake, Fu Chen searched a circle of acquaintances, and none of them had the three words peach, flower and cake.
Then it's homophonic.
After thinking for a long time, I found nothing.
Fu Chen put the note on the candle and burned it.
When I went to fetch water to wash, I ran into other eunuchs in the palace, not Taiping Taihe, they also saw Fu Chen, they smiled a little, and they greeted each other and left. When he entered the palace, Fu Chen also encountered this kind of situation in the prison courtyard.It takes a process for a newcomer to integrate into an unfamiliar environment, and this process may make enemies or make allies.
Because of Concubine De's appreciation, they didn't do anything blatantly, even if they said sarcasm, they couldn't hear it.
But Fu Chen can clearly feel their xenophobia, who made him an "airborne soldier", they have worked so hard for so many years and have not made it through, and he doesn't know what method he used to catch his eye, and suddenly surpassed these veterans The eunuch became a celebrity in front of Concubine De.
At this time, it is unnecessary to have the cheek to please them.
Fu Chen walked through the yard, saw the peach trees planted, and suddenly remembered.
peach cake!
It was the cake he often gave to the Seventh Prince, because it was the season of peach blossoms in full bloom at that time, and the pastry chefs in the dining room collected a lot of peach blossoms. This cake was also a seasonal cake, but because it was collected and stored in time, it could be eaten for a long time.
Harm can have many meanings.
Such as fear, embarrassment, injury, disaster...
If it was really Shao Huachi who was delivering the news, what was he afraid of, or...someone was trying to kill him?
Who wants to harm him, and although he is still "stupid" now, the emperor feels extremely guilty for the mother and son because of Concubine Li's injustice. For him, he even invited the national teacher to treat him. he.
Or secretly, so who could it be, the queen, or someone else?
He remembered that the cronies around the Seventh Prince had already been released from the cold palace. Although there were not many of them, it was probably his turn.
Thinking of this, Fu Chen extinguished the candlelight, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Fu Chen gradually got used to life in Fuxi Palace, he didn't have much work, he changed to Koudan for a while, and was occasionally called to talk about some interesting things.
Concubine De has someone who is dedicated to serving her, and everyone has a clear division of labor. If he is added suddenly, it will not be easy to arrange work.
Concubine De is relatively quiet here. She is a very sentimental person, she doesn't bother to engage in coercion, and she will not be eager to have a substantive relationship with Fu Chen. Like Chen together, she likes the natural process, a kind of hormone that attracts each other between men and women, instead of forcing something, this is a high-end enjoyment of feelings.
So for a period of time, at most, he only had some exchanges with Concubine De's eyebrows, and Fu Chen could guess her meaning very accurately every time, which made her feel very pleasantly surprised and close. He knew that she was very happy to enjoy this kind of Interactions that no one will notice.
She thoughtfully arranged a position for Fu Chen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there are not many things to do, she can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do things. This is also indirectly paving the way for Fu Chen to get closer to Liu Zong. Fu Chen thought of Murui Da is a concubine of De, and almost everyone thinks that Muruida is appreciated by Liu Zong, who has the same personality because of his serious and fair personality. Now it seems that there is a deeper connection between the two.
When Liu Zong saw Fu Chen this time, when he had a private conversation for the first time, he gave him a big thumbs up.
"Congratulations, you have been promoted to another level so quickly!" Liu Zonggang was ordered by the emperor to promote Fu Chen to the fourth rank a few days ago. It is considered rare in the Jin Dynasty, which one has not survived for decades.
"Forget about others, Mr. Liu, you are making fun of me by saying that!" Fu Chen's words were a little intimate, which made Liu Zong feel very comfortable.
"I can't see it. Our family only asked you to find a palace to avoid Li Xiangying's dispatch the day before. You gave me a big shock that day. Do you know that when the master of Fuxi Palace was still the prince from the Holy One, There has never been a new addition to the courtyard, you are the first person to be spoken to by the empress in more than ten years, I have to admire you!" Liu Zong said with emotion, speaking more casually than before, faintly treating Fu Chen as himself People see the meaning.
The slight change in Liu Zong's attitude made Fu Chen more certain that Liu Zong was also a concubine.
There are two lifelines in the harem, one is the house of internal affairs, and the other is the dining room.
This woman, to some extent, is the biggest winner in the harem.
Fu Chen has been walking around in the House of Internal Affairs for the past few days, because Wang Fugui's original job was to monitor the cleanliness, and now he devotes all his energy to taking care of Xiao Yang. Go to Sidaomen.
"By the way, we'll be busy again after the show girls are selected these days." The show girls have gone through the line selection, the primary selection, and the re-election, and now they are about to be selected.
"Another happy event?"
"It is His Highness the Fifteenth who will be sent to Qiangwu as a hostage, and we will leave in twenty days. During this period, we must prepare everything for His Highness the Fifteenth."
"Your Highness Fifteenth, did you hear me right?" He remembered that he had heard Shao Hua Pond when he was in Changning Palace, so how could it be Lord Fifteenth.
"How could our family hear it wrong, it is His Royal Highness the Fifteenth, what's wrong?"
"No, I'm just curious. Isn't that the Empress Dowager the most?" Fu Chen's doubts may be in the minds of many people. Being able to ask such a question is also the relationship between him and Liu Zong who are becoming more and more familiar now. , Moreover, Liu Zong regards him as "one of his own" now.
"Just because it's a descendant, sending it out can show the sincerity of our Great Jin." In fact, Liu Zong didn't understand how he became the queen's youngest son despite being favored by so many princes.
That's the queen's lifeblood!
After coming out of the House of Internal Affairs, it didn’t take long to arrive at Sidaomen. After Chen Zuoren and others left a few days ago, a lot of places were vacated in the Prison Court. Many young eunuchs have multiple jobs. Fu Chen himself is also in the same situation. , I will be on business here for a while, and I may go elsewhere after a while.
Because of the new batch of beautiful girls coming, the palace needs to add people, and the new little eunuch was sent to the palace again. Fu Chen also had this experience a few years ago, but now his identity has been reversed from that of the past. .
In the Jin Dynasty, there were different reasons for being sent to the palace for purification, and there were roughly several types. The most common ones were people like Fu Chen, because the family was so poor that they were starving to death, and there was nothing they could do about it.The rest are abduction and trafficking agencies, which have existed since ancient times. In ancient times, children were almost free-ranged. Sometimes the traffickers carried each other away, and the people disappeared in a blink of an eye. In ancient times, this information-underdeveloped place disappeared. It's just that I won't see you again for the rest of my life.There is also a kind of parents who forcibly sell people into the palace. There are many children, and it is not too little to sell one; Eunuchs and accidents.
Due to these circumstances, there was never a shortage of eunuchs in the Jin Dynasty. The number of eunuchs in the harem was said to be two thousand and eight, which was only an approximate number, and generally far exceeded.
Fu Chen came to a verandah. This is a courtyard with two entrances. It is not big. In Sidaomen, eunuchs who have just been cleansed usually faint from pain. They all recuperate here. Normally, they need to rest for ten days. It lasts for about 20 days, during which the body may be too weak to survive.
When Fu Chen arrived at the door, two young eunuchs on duty saw him and bowed to greet him, "Master Fu, you are here."
"Well, how's their situation?" Fu Chen responded, not evading their titles.
This is the rule in the palace, although Fu Chen is younger than them, but in terms of seniority in the palace, Fu Chen is two levels higher than them.
"The recovery is not bad. Several of them have been able to come down and walk around. They should be fine."
Fu Chen nodded.
It is not easy for ordinary people to sneak into the palace. Many eunuchs serve the nobles in the palace. How could they let them go carelessly? Not everyone can enter the palace. At least in this life, they must be harmless to the court.After so many dynasties, the inspection in this area has become more detailed. Each eunuch's birthplace, name, and reason for entering the palace will be investigated locally, and these information will be recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In fact, the little eunuch's answer was expected by Fu Chen, because when he was monitoring this group of people, he found that there was a group of people in it who were very special. They also looked thin and thin, and most people would not think there was anything strange about it. .But after careful observation, it can be found that this is a group of Lianjiazi. Fu Chen even made some tests without any trace, and the result is that this group of people is not simple.
Possessing martial arts means purifying the body, and the physical fitness is also good.
It's just that the reason why such a group of people entered the palace was "the family is poor". How could it be possible?
Before Fu Chen went in, the little eunuch stopped him again, "Master Fu, the Chonghua Palace said just now that they are here to pick someone up."
It is a common practice that whenever there is a shortage of people in the palace, they will come to pick people.
As for the Chonghua Palace, since the Seventh Prince regained his favor, there were already very few people serving him, so naturally they had to add people.
Fu Chen responded lightly, "Okay, I understand."
