The East Police Factory is located on the easternmost side of the imperial city, at the Donghua Gate at the foot of the city wall.A large courtyard with five entrances, the door opens to the outside of the imperial city, and the people who come in and out are all subordinates of Dongchang.

It was early winter, and the large plum blossoms planted in the courtyard had budded. In the winter day covered with silver, the bright red dots were really beautiful.

Duan Chong, the eunuch and superintendent of the East Factory, was sitting on the grand master's chair in the main hall, holding a cup of fragrant Liu'an melon slices in his hand.He looked at Hongmei outside the flower window and said with a smile: "This is the most beautiful scene, you have to see it in the coldest day."

Sitting beside him was none other than Wu Shunhai, head of the East Factory, who was also the personal eunuch of Xue Yan's birth mother, Concubine Rong.

Wu Shunhai followed with a smile and said, "Who's to say it's not? The more they look at the lively scene, the more they don't know when the tree will fall and the monkeys will disperse."

On the stone steps outside their door, there was a large piece of horrifying bloodstains, which dyed the pure white snow red, dotted like red plums blooming on the trees.

Less than half an hour ago, a person was executed there and his skin was skinned.The man didn't die until all the skin was peeled off, and half of Dongchang could hear the wailing.

Duan Chong glanced at the bloodstain and shook his head indifferently.

"Your Majesty still trusts the dog that wags its tail every day," he said. "Although we Dongchang are doing our best for His Majesty, how can it compare to the one who served you every day?"

Wu Shunhai naturally knew that what he was talking about was listening to blessings.Over the past few years, nearly [-]% of Dongchang's power has been divided by the emperor, and all of it has been given to Lingfu.From Lingfu to his group of eunuchs serving the nobles in the palace, they have all been proud of themselves in the past few years, but Dongchang's gates have been left in the cold, which is much more bleak than previous years.

In the past, Dongchang still had some noble influence in the palace.All the masters and concubines in the palace were not officials in the court, and they all hoped to please Dongchang, so that they would be able to make a difference, and the affairs would be much smoother.

But now, even these people have fawned on Ling Fu.

But Ling Fu is clearly still not satisfied.The one who was executed in front of the hall just now was the eyeliner planted by Ling Fuan in Dongchang.

Wu Shunhai smiled and comforted: "Eunuch, don't worry. There is always a way."

Hearing this, Duan Chong took a sip of tea with his eyes downcast, and asked, "I heard that you sent someone to the palace that day to find that Fifth Highness?"

Wu Shunhai heard the words and said: "I found it, and revealed the identity of my subordinate to him."

Duan Chong smiled: "This child is also a poor one. What does he say?"

Wu Shunhai said: "It's pitiful, but there is always something embarrassing to use."

Duan Chong raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"

Wu Shunhai said: "Xiao Wei Zi came back and said that although he was touched, he only wanted to talk about the past with his subordinates. Xiao Wei Zi asked him if he had the intention of revenge, but he said that he had no way to do it, so he rejected him."

Hearing this, Duan Chong laughed.

"It's embarrassing and useful, which is the greatest usefulness." He said. "Our Dongchang's own use is enough. If he shows more skills, he will still be our trouble in the future."

These words spoke to Wu Shunhai's heart.He nodded again and again, saying that the factory supervisor was wise.

"Then, the subordinate will choose a day to meet him?" Wu Shunhai asked.

Duan Chong shook his head.

"Wait a little longer," he said. "Let Xiao Weizi still go to the Wenhua Palace every day, as it was in the past, it will be the same in the future."

Wu Shunhai was puzzled: "This...?"

The situation of Dongchang is obviously very difficult.Ling Fu stared at her like a tiger, and the empress in the palace who had become famous in recent years also turned her back.That empress was attached to Dongchang because of her father and brother back then, but she did a lot of things with Dongchang, and she also has a lot of things to do with Dongchang... Why is she not in a hurry when the factory supervisor is up to now?

Duan Chong shook his head.

He set his eyes on the door.Standing under the steps was a child who was only ten years old, thin and thin, but with a strangely indifferent expression.

That person's skin just now was peeled off by that child himself.There was still blood on his face, but at this moment he calmly directed the fans to clean the blood, as if he had just killed a chicken in front of the door.

Duan Chong took a sip of tea slowly.

"Man, you have to be at the end of your life before you will be devoted to those who give charcoal in need." He smiled meaningfully.

"Only when the time comes, this man will be your dog at your beck and call."

-

Jun Huailang himself did not expect that he could say such words with such certainty.He felt a little shy after saying the words, lowered his eyes, and didn't dare to look Xue Yan in the eyes anymore.

He thought to himself, once a man has said something, there is no reason to take it back, not to mention that he thinks so in his heart, so there is nothing wrong with letting him know.

After all, although he is not frail and sick, it is difficult for him to recover quickly if he catches a cold once in a while.This time, it may be that the wind and cold are not healed, or it may be the hidden danger brought by rebirth, but it has nothing to do with Xue Yan, and it must not be blamed on Xue Yan.

Although Jun Huailang was magnanimous in his heart, Xue Yan kept silent, which made him feel a little uncomfortable again.

But for a moment, Jun Huailang couldn't stand it any longer.

He lowered his eyes, cleared his throat, and said pretendingly indifferently: "In short, my nightmare has nothing to do with you. You can just live here, and you don't have to blame yourself for the mistakes that have nothing to do with you."

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the room.

He didn't look back, and of course he didn't see how complex, fiery and restrained emotions were surging in the pair of light-colored eyes behind him that had been staring at him.

He didn't know that when Xue Yan returned to his room that day, he didn't speak for a long time.

Jin Bao was used to his deep and reticent appearance, but he always felt that today was a bit unusual.He waited in the house, and was about to leave quickly when he heard Xue Yan's voice.

"Is there really a Buddha in the world?" he asked.

Jin Bao was taken aback.

Whether this is true or not, everyone in the world said yes, but as a young eunuch, how could he have the ability to see the real Buddha, and where would he know if it was true or not?

"This...maybe there is?" Jin Bao was ambiguous.

Then, he heard Xue Yan sigh in a low voice.

"I don't know who is full of gods and Buddhas, which one can suppress the evil spirit on my body." He said. "...It will save you from hurting that little fool who doesn't know how serious it is."

Although his voice was low, there was a hint of bewilderment and helplessness in his tone, as well as a hint of pampering.

Jinbao people are stupid.

He thought to himself, since his master, who is the least afraid of divine punishment, has started to believe in Buddhism, then he must be really possessed by evil spirits, and he needs the manifestation of Buddha to drive him away from evil spirits.

And from this day on, Jun Huailang's room has been filled with the smell of Buddha's incense, which lasts for a long time, every day.

He was very surprised at the beginning, he didn't expect the incense of Baoguo Temple to last for so long.But it wasn't until Fu Yi, who was on guard at night, told him that Xue Yan would come to Jun Huailang's front hall alone to light incense for him every day when Jun Huailang was still asleep, every day was like this, and he was not absent for a single day.

As for Jun Huailang, who fell asleep smelling the fragrance of Buddha every day, the frequency of nightmares really decreased.

But he couldn't communicate with Xue Yan for a day.Every day when he got up, Xue Yan was gone, and when he went to the Wenhua Palace, Xue Yan was still walking alone, not having any contact with him.

Jun Huailang couldn't bear it in his heart, even he himself found out that his heart was soft.

Such a silent person who only treats him well makes it difficult for him to maintain his vigilance and hatred towards him.

Jun Huailang sometimes even prefers that Xue Yan is a complete bastard, but there is no need for him to be so entangled, and he enjoys the benefits brought by him every day.

Jun Huailang tried his best to suppress the strangeness in his heart, and it was still as usual every day.Just like that, the days became colder day by day, and it snowed again, and it was the day of the Emperor's Thousand Years Banquet.

In the previous life, Jun Huailang was also absent at the Qianqiu Banquet.The wind and cold in his previous life were severe, and he has not recovered until this day.His parents were afraid that if he got sick at the banquet, he would give others a bad temper and spoil the auspiciousness of the Qianqiu Banquet, so they let him stay in the mansion.

And in this life, Jun Huailang, who lived in the palace, is naturally different from the previous life.

When it was early in the morning on the day of the Qianqiu Banquet, Jun Huailang got up early.The servants in the palace are most familiar with handling such palace banquets. Even though there are three more people in Mingluan Palace this year, they still take care of the dresses and accessories they need.

When the time came, Jun Huailang had finished tidying up, and then heard the report from the palace maid, saying that Xue Yunhuan was already waiting in the hall, waiting to go with him.

When he arrived in the hall, he saw Xue Yunhuan frowned, raised his nose and said, "What's the smell in your palace? It smells like you've entered a Buddhist hall."

Jun Huailang paused before he noticed the sandalwood Buddha incense lingering around his body.

After these days, he has already become accustomed to it.

Jun Huailang's gaze fell out of the window involuntarily.

Across the exquisite and beautiful garden of Mingluan Palace, on the opposite side is the west side hall where Xue Yan lived.It is clearly the boundary of Mingluan Palace, but the side hall seems to be separated, the courtyard is deserted, and even the servants who move things will go around there when they pass by.

At this time, the door of the west hall was closed tightly, and Jin Bao, who had always been guarding the door, was not there.

"It's already gone." Jun Huailang whispered to himself.

"What did you say?" Xue Yunhuan didn't hear clearly, so he leaned forward and asked.

Jun Huailang smiled at him: "It's nothing. It will be late, let's go."

Xue Yunhuan gave a half-understanding oh, and when he went out, he glanced in the direction Jun Huailang had just looked at.

There's no one there, what did Huai Lang look at just now?
