Eunuch's professionalism

Shao Anlin was stunned for a moment when he first heard this name. He has heard it too many times recently. The events derived from the name Fu Chen are vivid in his memory. a knife.

But Shao Anlin didn't expect that even his mother, whom he had always loved, had something to do with this person.

The news of his mother's death weighed on him like a boulder. Maybe Shao Anlin subconsciously did not admit that his choice was wrong and caused her death. He wanted to find a psychological support.

This time, all related personnel will not let it go.

"The Fu Chen you are talking about is the eunuch who used to be next to the concubine?" Of course, this is just a superficial identity. As far as he knows, there are several identities of this Fu Chen, and he has served many masters. Who would have thought The little eunuch who met him in the dense forest back then hid so deeply and stirred up a storm inside and outside the palace. If I knew it now, I should have slapped him at the beginning. Shao Anlin said in a deep voice: "Don't hide anything, and you will be with me." I'll tell you in detail, including how they met."

Now that the beginning has been started, Mo Hua no longer hides it, and tells the secrets of the palace.

From the unbelievable at the beginning to the numbness at the end, Shao Anlin even felt that even beside Fei Qing, there was no such thrilling. After peeling off the layers of illusion, the truth inside is so hard to look directly at.

He suddenly thought of a small detail Mo Hua just mentioned, "Did you mention King Rui just now...?"

From Mo Hua's words, it's not difficult to hear that King Rui really took a fancy to Fu Chen's ability five years ago. It's also natural. Back then, Shao Huachi was a polished general, even if he met a smart little eunuch. .

But the focus of his attention is not here. Listening to the scene narrated by Mo Hua, it is not difficult to see Shao Huachi's almost crazy obsession with Fu Chen, and he does not hesitate to confront his mother and concubine head-on. It was necessary, but Shao Huachi did it anyway.

In recent years, King Rui has been notoriously unfeminine. He has been wandering in the Northwest for five years, and he seems to be looking for an old friend. It tastes different.

Who is this old man?

Assuming, just assuming that possibility, then some doubts have a reasonable explanation, why two people who are obviously irrelevant will fight against each other.

Even if this question is unreasonable, it may be the closest to the truth.

Even if he was dragged down by those two men who were in collusion, he would have to gnaw off a layer of their skin.

If it is as expected, then none of them should think about it!

Shao Anlin's eyes were covered with a shadow, and they closed slowly.

Since the day of the siege, the little eunuch Fu Chen also began to be noticed. He could not follow Shao Huachi's side as grandly as before. What he had to do now was to confuse the public, so naturally he had to go in and out of the palace more.

With the tacit consent of the new emperor, eunuchs like Fu Chen who carried the double tokens of Liu Zong and Shao Huachi were not restricted in their access.

Fu Chen entered the palace today under the watchful eye of Shao Huachi, maybe because he knew what he was going to do next, Shao Huachi took a tight-fitting approach, fearing that Fu Chen would come and leave without saying goodbye, and he was powerless to stop him.

After tentatively settling in the capital, he entered the palace to meet the team that Liu Zong created for himself five years ago. These "teams" were colleagues from the former prison yard. It was impossible to catch Hajime and the others so quickly.

Seeing Fu Chen again, this group of eunuchs finally tasted their long-cherished wish and chatted freely, and brought out all the good and bad things in the palace these years. If it wasn't for being in a group, there would be no way to survive now. At that time, they vowed to live as individuals.

Little eunuchs like Ji Ke, Yang Sanma, etc. are now the eunuchs in charge. After Liu Zong mentioned and beat him from time to time, these people were not unfamiliar with Fu Chen.After everyone recalled the end of that year, Fu Chen began to talk about the reason why he entered the palace before, and mentioned the invasion plan of the Halberd Kingdom, as well as the inside story of how many internal traitors were mixed into the palace before it was purged. A righteous indignation.

The old and new kings in the palace were changing, and the control was not strict. A group of people secretly took some wine and drank.

Fu Chen carried a jug of wine out of the yard, sometimes looked up at the sky, and sometimes had a sip of a drink. This kind of leisure and leisure rarely appeared in him. , but these rumors did not disappear, they just turned dark. Those things that have been done are still imprinted in people's hearts, waiting for a certain time to break out.

When Liu Zong came out, he saw Fu Chen like this. He waved back the two eunuchs who were promoted from the respect room. These two people served Liu Zong very respectfully and knew the size of Liu Zong. For them, Fu Chen's name is like a thunderbolt.

The person they admired the most before entering the palace was His Highness King Rui, and the longevity card of King Rui was enshrined at home. Their family members told them that they must serve King Rui wholeheartedly when they saw King Rui. It's a pity that they are not qualified to be assigned to King Rui because of their identities. , I have never seen it once.

It is difficult for them not to be the people of the Jin Kingdom to understand their gratitude and admiration for King Rui.

In this era of inaction by the royal family, only this prince stood up and did practical things for his people, making their lives less hopeless.

The eunuch named Fu Chen in front of him has become a member of King Rui's command. I heard that his status is still very high and he is highly valued.

If you can't get in touch with King Rui, it's better to see the people around His Highness.

They withdrew their reluctant gazes, these characters were not something they, little people, could inquire about.

Liu Zong walked over, "When do you plan to return to the palace to report on your duties?"

Liu Zong has aged a lot, and the wrinkles on his face are wrinkled when he is not smiling.

"Godfather..." Fu Chen felt slightly sad when he saw the white hair on Liu Zong's temples.

Liu Zong's turbid eyes were full of tears, "You are not stingy, you still know how to call our godfather? Our family thought you... really, I really wish you could fend for yourself outside the palace, lest you come into the palace and let others worry!"

At that time, almost everyone thought that Fu Chen died outside the palace like this, and King Rui did not want to reveal the specific reason.

Even if he is the chief eunuch, he doesn't have more authority, and he can't do more regardless of Fu Chen's life or death.

It is also because most people are numb, and the slaves who go to the mass graves around them from time to time have made them no longer have time to sympathize with others.

Fu Chen yelled again and was gently hugged by the old eunuch, he sighed deeply, "Our family understands your answer, it's just that the godfather is old and can't last for a few years, so I originally planned to let you inherit it." , no matter whether it is against the top or the bottom, you have your own way. Apart from our relationship, our family also cares about you the most. Now it seems that this position is the best in our eyes, but it may not be suitable for you .”

Liu Zong originally planned to let Fu Chen inherit his position. He has also cultivated many people over the years, and he still has some say in who he wants to replace his position. As a eunuch, he can barely be promoted.It's just that now Fu Chen's stay or stay is probably decided by King Rui. With such a powerful prince, there is no way for a servant to decide.

Fu Chen asked Liu Zong what candidates he wanted, but he didn't expect Ji Ke to be among them, "Isn't it a bit small?"

Liu Zong sneered and said, "No matter how young you are, you have been away for almost six years, the little guy is now even older than you were back then!"

When Fu Chen saw Jike after returning to Luanjing, he really felt that the child had grown up, but in his eyes, no matter how big the child was, he brought it up with his own hands, and he always regarded it as a child.

Seeing Fu Chen's slightly sluggish look, Liu Zong laughed loudly, "This kid is already able to take care of himself. If you have free time, you can teach the little guy more. If you don't need to teach anything else, just teach him how to endure, Gong." The most important thing in it is not how well-rounded it is, but not to show off, although he is clever, he still escaped a little."

"Forget it, you're planning to..." There were so many candidates, but Liu Zong chose Ji Ke alone. There was no reason for him, and he didn't believe it.

Liu Zong did not deny that compared to the other eunuchs, Ji was the only one who knew Fu Chen well. If he left, how could he let Fu Chen live alone in this treacherous harem, "Remember to go and see Fugui and Xiaoyang, remember them!"

Of course Fu Chen remembered, if it wasn't for them, he would not have joined hands with Mei Jue, nor would he have entered Mu Junning's courtyard, let alone what happened afterwards.Xiaoyang and the others are still in Chonghua Palace in Shaohuachi. When Fu Chen came to Chonghua Palace from Fuxi Palace, they were picked up by people from Shaohuachi.

Wang Fugui was a little surprised by his arrival. If it wasn't for Fu Chen back then, he and Xiaoyang wouldn't have had any chance of surviving. He wanted to go when the people gathered in the prison yard today, but he missed the meeting because he had to take care of Xiaoyang. .

Fu Chen saw that Wang Fugui wanted to send all the best things in the house to him in the past few years, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, I'll just come over for a while, let's chat casually, so seeing outsiders Don't you think of me as a brother?"

Wang Fugui thought of the scene when a group of eunuchs swearing secretly, he felt something, and stopped, while Xiao Yang was making tea, and occasionally smiled at Wang Fugui.

"Recognize someone?" Xiaoyang didn't know anyone back then.

"You only know me, but according to what you said back then, I would talk to her when I have time, and now I can help with some chores."

Fu Chen looked at Xiao Yang's giggling, feeling sad and comforted, "Persevere, she will get better and better."

"I think so too." Wang Fugui looked at Xiaoyang, smiled, and felt the taste of happiness, "You have been away these few years, thanks to His Royal Highness Rui Wang who has been taking care of us."

There was a look of gratitude in his eyes.

Fu Chen was very surprised. The back hall of Chonghua Palace is where the servants stay, how could Shao Huachi come here, "You mean His Highness came to see you in person?"

Wang Fugui was also very surprised back then, and he still has a deep memory of that day. At that time, seeing King Rui was quite frightened, and what was even more frightening was that His Highness's black hair turned white overnight, "Yes, you also think it's incredible, right? That's It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and the palace is full of joy, but I feel that His Highness was very depressed at that time, the eyes he looked at me were empty, the soul was not there, and he asked strange things.”

As long as Fu Chen imagines Shao Huachi like that, his heart aches slightly. If he was just the lord before, he would only ask the reason at most. Now that the person has been divided into his own range, the feeling is completely different, "What did you say?"

Wang Fugui recalled, "His Royal Highness asked, is it normal for a man to have a desire for him? I just said at the time that this kind of feeling might not be tolerated in the world. He was laughing and crying at that time... really no Thinking that the majestic King Rui can still have this side, speaking of it, is it strange for you to ask His Highness, will His Highness really have that side... You can't talk nonsense about this, just say it to you. Speaking of which, I always feel that His Highness's words are not groundless, but I remember that His Highness seems to be not close to men and women..."

Fu Chen's complexion suddenly changed, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he had realized a long-ago, almost forgotten truth that was never mentioned by the parties.

"Then... when did it happen?" The ending sound was hoarse.

Perhaps because he didn't want to be too eye-catching when he returned to Beijing, Shao Huachi dyed his hair, and now that snow-white hair was dyed black again.When the two met, Fu Chen once asked Shao Huachi why he hadn't seen gray hair for several years, but Shao Huachi was only vague at that time, and the gap between them was so deep that it was almost impossible to resolve, so naturally he didn't say much. ask.

"Many years ago, by the way, not long after you disappeared at that time, I heard that he had been locking himself in the room without sleep, even the emperor was afraid that His Highness might have a relapse of epilepsy, so he called the imperial doctor several times Second-rate."

Fu Chen pinched the jade pendant hanging on his waist, which was the piece given by Shao Huachi that burned in the fire, and rubbed it back and forth to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

"Your Highness had gray hair, was that also the time?"

"Yes, yes, we were all terrified when we saw it."

Fu Chen couldn't listen to the next words, until Wang Fugui said, "At that time, His Highness drove everyone out of the side hall and lived in by himself."

The forbidden area of ​​the side hall, after returning to the Chonghua Palace after so many years, Fu Chen found that there were still people guarding the front, but he couldn't understand Shao Huachi's intention for doing so, and he didn't delve into things that had nothing to do with the overall situation.

If he insisted on connecting the side hall with himself, then the side hall used to be the place where he lived.

Now, all these things are connected in series, and they all vaguely point in one direction. Why did Shao Huachi change his face when he found him in the past five years, tolerate him in every possible way, and ignore him in the future? These feelings did not come suddenly It's not that His Highness suddenly got tired of seeing women and wants to play with men, but after five years of fermentation...

Fu Chen stood up abruptly, and walked out without saying hello, looking very urgent, Wang Fugui, who wanted to have a long talk with Fu Chen all night today, was talking vigorously, but Fu Chen left directly, "Ah, ah, ah, What's wrong with you, Fu Chen!"

Wang Fugui couldn't help but muttered after seeing people for a while and then went away, "Why does everyone say that the wind is the rain."

Shao Huachi had just returned from interrogating the rebels in Yi'an Mansion, and the new emperor entrusted him with this job. If he was not careful, the rebels would bite him back, so he was naturally careful.He also didn't want to go back to the mansion too early, Fu Chen also said that he would enter the palace for a few days, even if he went back, he would feel panicked, so he might as well keep himself busy and worry less, so as not to annoy Fu Chen and think that he, the lord, is unbearable big responsibility.

So when I returned to my yard, I heard the guard say that Fu Chen was already waiting inside, and I was still wondering if I heard it wrong.

He quickened his pace, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he asked: "Didn't you say that the affairs in the palace will be arranged in the past few days? Is it because there are not enough people? How come... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Chen pushed him to the wooden door next to him, and his lips were blocked.

Wait, I'm smelly and sweaty!

Shao Huachi stared wide-eyed, and pushed the person away. Fu Chen would have retreated very politely before, but this time he was stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and he still hugged him forcefully.

What's the matter..., so enthusiastic?
