Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]

Zhao Minsheng still can't figure out the situation clearly, he can only answer when someone asks a question, grope carefully, and wait and see what happens.

"The Empress Dowager is indeed a palace servant in the Mercy Hospital."

The queen mother glanced at him and sneered twice.

"As long as you recognize it, you won't be able to say that the Ai family has empty teeth and that the dirty man is innocent."

After hearing this, the servant girl turned her head around and hooked the corners of her lips, and glanced at Zhao Minsheng nonchalantly, her expression was quite provocative.

"This person was handed over to Ai's family by Concubine Zhen this morning. She said it was your maid from Taoyun Courtyard. Seeing that you have been acting strangely recently and it was Xie Yuan's birthday, she felt that you were practicing witchcraft. Suspected of cursing the imperial court officials, I couldn't find a way to stop it for a while, so I reported it to Concubine Zhen."

The art of witchcraft has been a great taboo in all dynasties.

Xie Yuan was sitting on the guest seat beside him, his hands were tightly clutching the armrest beside him, his gaze was always on Zhao Minsheng, and he didn't dare to move away for a moment.Today's matter can be big or small, as long as Zhao Minsheng masters the key points, he can easily save himself from danger, but what is difficult is that this matter involves many forces, and Xie Yuan doesn't know the twists and turns behind these people Can the boy in front of him see clearly?

And he was under the eyes of the Empress Dowager at this time, no matter how clear he was in his heart, he couldn't tell Zhao Minsheng.

Fortunately, today's Zhao Minsheng is no longer the young man who had no city in his chest and was slaughtered by others. After living his life again, he has not only seen clearly what is called a means, but also understands which is called a city.

So the moment the queen mother said this, Zhao Minsheng grasped the key point contained in this sentence very cleverly, this maid is the concubine Zhen's person.

Now at this stall, Xie Yuan had just cleaned up Zhang's house, causing Cheng Wang, mother and son, to suffer a small loss. After only a few days, she was the first to be unable to sit still, and even brought this idea to Zhao Minsheng. , intending to use him to knock Shan Zhenhu.

But it is not a new thing that she will get Zhao Minsheng's idea, ever since he came back from the palace, this kind of thing happened from time to time, either Zhenfei or Empress, no matter which side is in trouble, I always like to take him out for a walk. It would be better if I can get some benefits for myself, but if I can't, don't worry too much. Anyway, he, a prince who no one cares about, can't make much waves.

But this time, I'm afraid it will be disappointing.Zhao Minsheng knew that Concubine Zhen had suffered from being dumb this time, and she was so angry that she was eager for success and wanted revenge, but no matter how much she suffered, she should never have done it, and she should not have brought this idea to the Queen Mother Come.

She has lived in the deep palace for many years, and she can be said to be the most transparent person in the palace. She has never seen any kind of monsters and ghosts, and the smallness in Concubine Zhen's heart can't escape her eyes at all. .

Besides, even today, there is still the Queen Mother's eyeliner in the Taoyun Courtyard. He doesn't believe that the old lady is not clear about the truth.

"What Aijia said is not wrong. This person is getting old, and his memory is getting worse and worse. It's useless."

The queen mother knocked on the corner of the table again and again, and her eyes were always erratic. After saying this sentence, her eyes had already turned several places, and every time she turned, she would take a slight look at Lamei.Seeing her urchin-like actions, Zhao Minsheng couldn't help pursing his lips and secretly smiling.

The queen mother sat on the chair and looked around boredly. At the last moment, she saw Zhao Minsheng's subtle smile. She knew at that moment that this boy wanted to go with her.

Since the two of them have the same mind, the next matter will be much easier to handle.

The servant girl knelt on the ground, still secretly rejoicing for the money that Concubine Zhen promised her, but she didn't know that the two foxes, the old and the young, had secretly put her in her pocket.

"Qi Empress Dowager, it is indeed so. Since His Highness Duke Huai left the palace early in the morning a few days ago, he has spent the past few days in the study, going in early every day, and only coming out after dinner time. No one is allowed to go in and disturb it, it looks mysterious."

"Oh, by the way, it was also like this one day before this. I remember that just before the twelfth lunar month, I passed by the door of His Highness's study that day, and I saw a lot of waste paper on the ground. His Highness and General Zhang were scolded by His Majesty, so the servants are afraid..."

The queen mother looked at Lamei, who was half done, and said something perfunctory absent-mindedly.

"What are you afraid of?"

"The servant is afraid that His Highness will use the same witchcraft as last time to murder Dugong Xie again. The duke is a close minister of His Majesty, and it is about His Majesty's comfort. This servant must be afraid."

The old queen raised her hand to gently support her forehead, and sighed slightly.

"In that case, Zhao Minsheng, you should kneel down."

Wang Qi stood outside the hall, carefully pricked up his ears to listen to the words of the people in the room, and concentrated his energy. He didn't dare to drop a word. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. It was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Yes."

After hearing what the queen mother said, Zhao Minsheng simply lifted his robe and knelt down, raised his head and met the queen mother's eyes without fear.

The old lady was impatient, the winter plums on the side had just been inserted halfway, and now they stopped halfway, it was like shaving half of the head, and shaving the eyebrows on one side, making people feel nondescript and annoying.

She really wanted to continue her spare time activities just now, but she was entangled in the trivial matters in front of her.

Zhao Minsheng saw people's intentions, so he naturally cooperated in everything, trying to finish the play with him in the fastest time.

Ever since he heard the Empress Dowager say that this matter was provoked by Concubine Zhen, Zhao Minsheng's heart was put in his stomach.

Concubine Zhen is now in the thick of her family, the Empress Dowager has not asked about government affairs for many years, and she is sympathetic to the emperor's hard work, and does not want to dampen her son's interest just because of a trivial matter.

So for so many years, even though she usually has a bad character, loves to be competitive in everything, loves to be petty, even when she comes to pay her respects, she can hide some cleverness, she has always defended her on the face, it can be said It's maintenance, but in fact, it's just a way to coax people to play with.

But he didn't want Concubine Zhen to misunderstand her, and thought that the Queen Mother really doted on her, and now that she had suffered from Xie Yuan, she actually came to the Queen Mother's place, playing a show of being arrogant.He planned to rely on his three-point sympathy with the Queen Mother to let someone commit any crime to Zhao Min, so as to achieve the purpose of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

But she didn't want her three-point thin noodles. In the eyes of the queen mother, even an insole was not enough.

"Mingsheng, tell me, what have you been doing in the study these two days?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Minsheng has been in the study for the past few days preparing birthday gifts for Duke Du."

Speaking of this, Zhao Minsheng couldn't help but glanced at Xie Yuan who was at the side from the corner of his eye. He didn't have to go to court today, so he didn't wear an official uniform. He only wore a black dress with the collar tightly buttoned.The fabric embroidered with dark flowers slightly undulates up and down with the rolling of the Adam's apple, which looks quite ascetic.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Xie Yuan looks a little thinner.

As Zhao Minsheng spoke, he also glanced at the maid in front of him, but it's a pity that until now, she still has such an arrogant attitude towards Zhao Minsheng.

"Since it's a congratulatory gift, why did you write and draw so many times?"

The Empress Dowager followed suit with a glance at the maid, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"This... I'm so stupid, I can't come up with anything good as a congratulatory gift for the teacher. I just happened to smell the incense on Dugong's body, so I thought about giving Dugong a sachet, writing and drawing, but it's just It's just thinking about the pattern, those waste papers haven't been thrown away until now, if the Empress Dowager wants to see it, she can ask the palace servants to fetch it."

While talking, Zhao Minsheng glanced expectantly towards Xie Yuan, only to find that he was raising a cup to drink tea and didn't look at him at all.

"Okay, Ai's family is not so leisurely."

The queen mother turned her mouth slightly, pursed her lips slightly, put down the teacup, and waved her hands downward.

"Clean it up."

The palace servants who had been standing on both sides to listen to the orders immediately stepped forward when they heard the Queen Mother's words, grabbed the maid's arm in twos and threes, and quickly dragged her out of the palace.

The servant girl never thought that the Queen Mother would have such an attitude. After a moment of stunned, she began to struggle for her life.

That's not what Concubine Zhen said when she gave her money to do this. She clearly said that the Empress Dowager would never speak to this unfavorable prince.

"Empress Dowager, you can't do this, Empress Dowager, that's Concubine Zhen..."

Before the servant girl finished speaking, she was dragged out of the palace gate. Wang Qi stood outside the palace gate, watching with his own eyes that the palace maid who had worked under him was dragged into the corner like a dead dog. Here, I just feel shocking.

This is his mistake.

Things in the palace are changing rapidly and turbulently. Today, the Empress Dowager can tell right from wrong, but if it were someone else, then the one who was dragged out like this might be his master.

In the Shoukang Palace, the sandalwood incense was wafting, Xie Yuan sat aside, watching the situation at this time, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of the armrest that he had been holding tightly all along.

As soon as the matter here was over, the palace man at the side brought up the bottle of unfinished plum blossoms, and placed them on the table next to him, allowing them to continue pruning.

"Although it was a misunderstanding, it is always the most correct thing to be cautious in this palace. Defu, go to my dressing table to get Zhi Buyao and send it to Concubine Zhen."

"Yes."

As the queen mother spoke, she fiddled with the bottle of wintersweet in her hand, and then smiled meaningfully at Zhao Minsheng.

"Anyway, you are also the grandson of the Ai family, so get up and eat."

Zhao Minsheng got up in response, and after finishing lunch with the Queen Mother, he sat in the Shoukang Palace for a while, and when he came out with Xie Yuan, it was almost evening and the sky was getting dark.

"A few days ago, I said that Xie Yuan followed the wrong person this time, but looking at it now, it seems that Ai's vision is not good enough."

The queen mother looked at the figures of the two leaving, and said something with a slight smile.

"Zhao Minsheng is a kid who usually looks like he's being obedient and obedient, but today he's pulled out alone to have a look, and he's really good looking. His eyes can't deceive anyone."

As the queen mother kept sighing in the palace, Zhao Minsheng followed Xie Yuan on the road, and suddenly his back felt cold, his body trembled, and he sneezed loudly.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing people sneezing so hard, Xie Yuan couldn't help turning his head around, and asked, it's the end of the year, if you catch a cold at this time, it will inevitably be a bit uncomfortable for the whole year.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Zhao Minsheng shook his shoulders as he spoke, shook his head at the person, and then spoke to the person with great concern.

"Duke is too busy recently? I see you have lost weight."

Hearing people say this, Xie Yuan couldn't help but think of how he had neglected people in the past few days. As the end of the year was approaching, he was indeed busy with affairs, so he didn't pay much attention to Zhao Minsheng.

Originally, he thought that he should be fine for only two days, but he didn't expect that Concubine Zhen would be so impatient, and even hit Zhao Minsheng with this idea, and the person who was hurt was almost in danger.

Today, he suddenly heard from the Queen Mother that someone had carefully prepared a gift for him, Xie Yuan couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and felt that he was a bit negligent as a teacher.

"It's all trivial things, but these few days, the servant has somewhat ignored His Highness, and I hope His Highness will not blame you."

Zhao Minsheng shook his head lightly, looking at the thinning face in front of him, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Although he knew in the past that Xie Yuan must be busy with affairs near the end of the year, but he never thought that he would be so busy.

"It's nothing, but the teacher has eaten well these few days? It happens that the spare rib soup is still warming in the Taoyun courtyard. Come with me, have a good bowl and rest for a while."

"Yes, my servant, thank you Your Highness."

Zhao Minsheng looked at the tiredness on the face of the man, he didn't want to bother with anything, he just wanted to let the man have a good meal, sleep for a while, and hide all the messy things in the court.

But the sky didn't go his way, just as he was about to drag people back, suddenly a Cheng Yaojin appeared on the narrow path.

"Xie Yuan, let me find you. It's your birthday today. Let's go. I'll take you out of the palace to drink!"

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Zhao Minsheng couldn't help feeling disgusted for a moment.

The man in front of him is dressed in the attire of a warrior, from head to toe, he is so carefree, and his face has not even been shaved. This man is Wei Yan. He holds a palace soldier in his hand. He is currently serving as a guard in the palace and is also Xie Yuan's bosom friend.
