Chapter 89 The Great River Goes East

The capital city is as prosperous as Du Si imagined. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there is a constant flow of pedestrians. It is a thriving scene. There are many pavilions and pavilions, adding many colors. A faint halo, looking from a distance, a corner of a magnificent and magnificent palace is faintly exposed, one can imagine how shocking its overall appearance should be, Du Si watched quietly in the sedan chair, since he learned that Li Zhifei and others had acted Afterwards, I felt a bit of resistance to these prominent buildings in my heart. The more gorgeous the place, the more obvious the struggle between people, especially the imperial palace - this rumored place that cannibalize people without spit out bones. How many innocent souls wandered among them, participating in this ruthless Shura field competing for interests.

Thinking that Du Yongqiu is a small pawn in this struggle, Du Si felt some inexplicable pain in his heart. Du Yongqiu was innocent and devoted himself to clearing up wrongs and violence for the people, but in the end, he died in the struggle for imperial power , how not to be a pity?Du Si lowered the curtain and stopped looking at the splendid building.

On the way, he changed into a blue eunuch uniform. Zhong Yuanqing's meaning was very clear, and Du Si agreed with both hands. As long as he can find out the truth of the year, this difficulty is nothing to worry about.

Dazzling golden light came from the top, piercing Du Si couldn't open his eyes, got off the sedan chair, Du Si looked up, but saw a red wall and gold tiles, he didn't know when he entered the palace, Zhong Yuanqing led Du Si Entering through a small gate, the guards guarding the gate saw Zhong Yuanqing and moved their spears away one after another. Du Si lowered his head and followed behind Zhong Yuanqing. It took half an hour for Zhong Yuanqing to stop, Du Si's tense body relaxed a little, his neck was stiff, and it was difficult to raise his head again.

"Just follow this father-in-law. I will wait for you here before Youshi." Zhong Yuanqing said in a deep voice, and Du Si looked at a smiling eunuch in front of him and nodded unconsciously.

"Master Right, don't worry, this old slave will definitely hand over this young master to you as it is."

The father-in-law said respectfully, Zhong Yuanqing nodded, the two were about to leave, but Du Si was stopped by Zhong Yuanqing again.

"Remember the agreement between you and me, I will come to pick you up before you." Zhong Yuanqing's eyes were extremely deep, hiding a sadness that Du Si couldn't understand, "After you enter the palace, you will never want to come back gone."

That glance seemed to see the bottom of Du Si's heart, he was slightly startled, but Zhong Yuanqing left.

"Young master, let's go, time is running out." The father-in-law called Du Si back with a voice, he looked at the red walls for a long time, and immediately ran over to keep up with the father-in-law.

Du Si didn't dare to lean forward, so he bowed his waist and followed behind the father-in-law. The two turned into a deserted alley, and the father-in-law suddenly spoke.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Du Si." Du Si whispered.

"Du Si? You are Du Yongqiu's son." The father-in-law said lightly about Du Si's life experience, and then said, "It's not convenient in the palace, so the miscellaneous family can call you Xiao Duzi, and you can call the miscellaneous family Eunuch Li."

"Yes, Eunuch Li."

At this time, several court ladies walked towards him, and they greeted Eunuch Li one by one, maybe they were a little curious to see Du Si's face.

"This is a newcomer, called Xiao Duzi. The miscellaneous family saw that he looks good, so they came out to teach him in person." Eunuch Li joked with the maid, and then said to Du Si, "Little Duzi, raise your face and let these people Look, sisters."

When a cold object touched Du Si's face, he immediately lowered his head, not looking at the people in front of him. The maids laughed like silver bells, which was very pleasant to hear. He had seen it before, and he took a few glances, but it was somewhat familiar.

"Little Duzi is a little shy, let's take a closer look at it in the morning."

Eunuch Li teased with the court lady for a while, and finally separated. Du Si let out a breath slowly, only feeling that his body was covered with the smell of powder. If Duan Jingheng found out, he might die in an ugly way...

"Xiao Duzi, you're not used to this place." Eunuch Li's smiling voice came from the front, and Du Si choked up and stopped talking.

"Although the Za family has never met Du Yongqiu, they have heard about him back then. At that time, the Za family was just a little eunuch. Fortunately, they heard a little rumor from a palace. Although he was not ordered by the court, his deeds could spread to the palace. If you come here, that's a kind of skill." Eunuch Li said meaningfully.

"Where did you hear that, Eunuch Li?!" Du Si lost his voice. He looked straight ahead at the back, and the wooden sign in his hand was covered with sweat.

"Little Duzi, you've overstepped the rules." Eunuch Li's cold voice made Du Si bow his back, "Where are the miscellaneous family going now, you must have suffered a lot for being so impatient."

Du Si didn't make a sound, but Eunuch Li spoke on his own.

"As the saying goes, once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and your confidant is a passerby from then on. The miscellaneous family didn't believe it before, but after entering the palace, they realized that if you want to hold your own opinion, you can't go up far. No matter how blunt it is, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to save my life. Miscellaneous family wanted to keep their own place and resign themselves to fate, but in the end they caused troubles.” Eunuch Li sighed and stroked the dust in his hand. Go farther."

Du Si opened his mouth, thinking of Li Zhifei again.

"It's time to talk now." Eunuch Li stopped in front of a dilapidated palace, which was sparsely populated and almost no one came and went. Eunuch Li finally turned around, looked directly at Du Si and said, "This is where you want to come." place."

Du Si looked towards the palace courtyard in front of him. The ground here was covered with a thick layer of ash. From outside the door, he could vaguely see a few old fallen leaves and some collapsed rotten wood inside.

"Don't be in a daze, Xiao Duzi, the miscellaneous family came to the right place, you go in quickly." Eunuch Li urged, Du Si glanced at him, and finally walked in the door.

The scene inside the door was even dilapidated than it looked outside. There was not a single intact place here, and even the only remaining small tree was split into two pieces and stood hanging on the ground.

"How can this place be so desolate?" Du Si wondered.

"More than ten years ago, Concubine Qi died of a miscarriage. Not long after she left, she was found out by the Supreme Emperor to be a villain who cursed Concubine Xi. In a rage, this place became like this." Eunuch Li answered eloquently, "Concubine Xi and Concubine Xi Concubine Qi gave birth on the same day, but luckily the imperial concubine, mother and child are safe, so the Supreme Emperor almost went to dig Concubine Qi's grave."

Du Si spread out his hands, the wooden sign engraved with the word "Qi" was extremely ironic at the moment, he hesitated repeatedly, but finally did not throw it away.

"All the maids here were executed, and no one was spared. It was a big event back then. Before the incident, the miscellaneous family heard Du Yongqiu's name from here."

Eunuch Li said lightly, but Du Si fell into deep thought. The father-in-law looked at Du Si's thinking, and there was some expectation in his eyes.

"Who did the eunuch listen to?" Du Si asked suddenly.

"The miscellaneous family heard it from several personal maids serving Concubine Qi."

Eunuch Li narrowed his eyes. Du Si couldn't see his eyes, and felt a little uneasy. Then, the eunuch named a few names that he was very familiar with. When he read the last one, Eunuch Li kept silent. Watching Du Si smiled quietly.

"There is another one, Xiao He." Du Si replied.

"Although the miscellaneous family doesn't know what your father has done, they can guess some clues just from the words and phrases in the mouths of those adults." Eunuch Li patted the ashes on his body, "but the miscellaneous family knows that in this palace, Good people don't live long."

Du Si listened in a cloud of fog, but Eunuch Li continued when he saw this.

"Xiao Duzi, do you know Concubine Xi?" Just when Du Si was about to deny it, Eunuch Li said again, "I guess you don't know, she gave birth to a prince by herself, and became the favorite of the emperor. The emperor made the little prince a prince, and now , she is the empress dowager who is well-known in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she occupies a high position and has countless honors."

Du Si had never heard of the name of Concubine Xi, could it be that this woman had something to do with Du Yongqiu's death?

"But everyone knows that when Concubine Xi was young, she was childhood sweethearts with Mrs. Zuoxiang today. I heard that the two families have agreed on their marriage, but..." Eunuch Li paused, showing a considerate smile, "The miscellaneous family believes in your mother." I will not regret it, today is such an honor, but only the Holy One can give it."

Du Si was a little unnatural, he didn't expect that there would be such a bloody plot in the palace. Zhou Hongyi was deprived of his love back then, considering him as a person, he must be unconvinced.

"The prince is not only the one of the empress, but the sage only loves that one. The new emperor ascends the throne, and the other brothers can only watch. The feeling must be uncomfortable."

Eunuch Li said this, but Du Si noticed the clue. If Xiao He and others were dead, why would her dress and palace plaque appear in Du Zhiqiu's house?Or, did she not die at all?

"Since the maid serving Concubine Qi is dead, why did I get this palace card from outside the palace?" Du Si stared at Eunuch Li carefully and said.

"Zajia doesn't know either." Eunuch Li said with a smile, "Zajia had a few words with Miss Xiaohe back then. Miss Xiaohe was kind-hearted, and many people liked her. Concubine Qi also loved Xiaohe very much back then, but Zajia I heard that the girl has hidden illnesses, especially in those few years, she was often seriously ill, so Zajia went to see Miss Xiaohe."

Du Si's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression became more and more excited. At the same time, the throbbing from the depths of his heart made him weak. Du Si's eyes were slightly red, and he blinked, and a few tears flowed from his eye sockets.

"The imperial doctor once said that Miss Xiaohe is seriously ill and needs to be treated carefully so that she can live longer." Eunuch Li said in a deep voice, "Why do good people always live long?"

For a while, many fragments flashed before Du Si's eyes one by one, and what Li Gonggong said finally fell on Jiongji's complicated jade.

"Although Concubine Qi died of dystocia, the dead baby was nowhere to be seen. This is quite a miracle." Seeing Du Si's appearance, Eunuch Li couldn't help sighing, "The miscellaneous family knows that the right minister is soft-hearted. Since the Lord gave you this Entering the palace by chance is to allow you to know the truth. Although not many people know about this matter, many of them have died. Since you have roughly understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, don't come back after leaving the palace. "

In factional disputes, the scapegoat has always been the most indispensable thing. Du Yongqiu is just a pawn in this battle. Although Du Si does not know how he met Xiao He, although the prince survived, Du Si's parents have passed away, and he himself was forced to get involved. If Du Yongqiu hadn't met Xiao He back then, he wouldn't have encountered these things.

Du Si followed behind Eunuch Li, his mind was in chaos, and when they came to the door, Eunuch Li said to Du Si.

"Xiao Duzi, after you leave, you have to hide yourself well. Mr. Zuoxiang's actions have become more and more obvious these days. According to the miscellaneous family, the capital city is about to change."

Eunuch Li, like Zhong Yuanqing, dissuaded Du Si not to participate in it, but at this moment, Du Si couldn't hold anything in his heart except his resentment towards Zhou Hongyi, Li Zhifei and others.

"Zhou Hongyi has coveted the throne for a long time, and he will definitely not let anyone who knows about it go. You are Du Yongqiu's son, and she will never let you go."

Du Si sneered, he had narrowly escaped from Zhou Hongyi's hands, if he could avenge his parents, would it be a worthy death?

"All in all, it's better to get out of here, you go quickly." Eunuch Li urged, but when he caught a glimpse of the person behind Du Si, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Du Si looked back, not wanting to see a smiling face.

"Go? Where do you want to run to?"

Lu Jisheng said slowly, his eyes were full of surprise.
