My name is……

Xiao Conger

It's been a long time since anyone called me by that name.

I am a eunuch.

A low-level cleaning eunuch.

People in the palace call me Xiao Lianzi.

Why is it called this name?

I remember that when I first entered the palace to assign names, my father-in-law had just returned to the palace from an errand in Xiaolianzishan, and all the names were taken away by others, so he casually named me Xiaolianzishan.

When I came out of the torture room, it had been two days since I was punished with the cane for [-] boards. I barely had the strength to walk back from the torture room, but I was still in pain and hungry.

The wound on his buttocks had already scabbed over, and he had been lying in the torture room for two full days, and the air could always smell a strong smell of rust.

If you ask me why I was punished with a cane, the reason is actually very simple, because I accidentally offended the cat raised by the emperor's most beloved concubine and concubine Chen when I was cleaning Tai'an Palace.

Yes, it's that simple reason, because of a cat.

The low-ranking cleaning eunuch is the most humble position in the palace, so low that everyone can be driven, everyone can be beaten and insulted, even worse than a godson recognized by an eighth-rank eunuch.

Stumbling along the red-walled palace road, I vaguely saw the emperor walking with the pregnant concubine Chen not far away.

The emperor's eyes were tender and caring, he was deeply afraid that Concubine Chen would catch cold, and she was deeply afraid that she would trip over her.Concubine Chen looks so beautiful, so gentle and touching, she really deserves to be pampered.

I'm very envious, not because I envy Concubine Chen being favored by the emperor, but because I envy someone who cares about her so much and holds her in the palm of his hand.

As a low-ranking eunuch, I had to avoid it, so I changed to a longer path, enduring the sore and piercing pain from the waist down, and slowly moved back.

I couldn't help thinking that before entering the palace, my parents doted on me very much, and they often stopped me from making mistakes.But I am not smart, compared with my fourth brother who can read a thousand characters at the age of seven, I am simply too stupid, so when the family can't get rid of the pot and can't afford to raise three children, someone from the county chooses a palace eunuch to enter the palace, I So he secretly went to sign up with two coins in his pocket.

After my parents found out, they hugged me and wailed in pain all night, but I didn't understand what I did wrong. Zhao Er from the village told me that eunuchs just enter the palace as officials, and they are prestigious and rich.

I didn't know the meaning behind the crying of my parents until I was lying on the cold bench in the clean room, and the silver blade shining with sharp white light appeared in front of my eyes.

Castration is deadly, and two out of ten people will die from excessive blood loss or infection.

I still remember that the father-in-law who was covered with a white cloth raised the knife four times. By the third time, I fainted from the pain, and by the fourth time I was awakened by the pain.

I was very old when I entered the palace, and it was not as convenient as a young child's cutting. I lost a lot of blood and lay down for ten days before I was out of danger.

Thinking of this, I touched my face and found that at some point, it was full of tears.

"It's really hypocritical, it's not the first time I've been punished, why are you crying..." I said to myself, and smiled foolishly with my mouth hooked.

When I got back to the eunuch Tongpu, I wanted to ask Wang Shun, who was close to me, to fetch two buckets of water for me, but I looked around the room for several times and didn't see anyone else.

"Where's Wang Shun? Did you see it?" I asked a young eunuch who had just entered the palace not long ago.

"He was promoted to Yuanchang Palace to be under the command of the eunuch in charge, and he will not come back!" The little eunuch didn't think much of me either, although he was answering my words, his eyes were full of contempt.

Wang Shun...has left too...

Desperate, I fetched water by myself, washed my body, put on clean clothes, and lay down on the hard bed.

The eunuchs in the shop chatted in groups, chatting about their concerns and rumors they heard from nowhere.

……

In this house, the last eunuch who was in the same batch as me was also promoted and left.

Only me, after working for seven years, is still a low-level eunuch.

I can't learn to flatter and flatter, and I can't learn to be greedy and ask for credit. I deserve it and I can't be promoted even now!

It seems to be very cold tonight.

Change seems to be an instant thing.

King Cheng rebelled, probably because someone from the court responded, and the rebel army advanced all the way. After a few days of fighting, the soldiers came to the city. The precious items that go away, those that escape, and those that are scattered.

Many palace servants who hadn't managed to escape were killed, and their corpses were scattered all over the field, which was too horrible to look at.

I wiped the blood and hid it in the pile of corpses, so I escaped unharmed.

I stayed in the pile of dead people for a long time, the rotten smell enveloped me, and the flies "buzzed" in my ears, but I didn't dare to move.

The people left by King Cheng searched for traces of living people in the palace. I knew that if I was exposed, I would be dead!

The sharp long blade pierced my body, I clenched my teeth to prevent myself from screaming, again and again, I couldn't help humming, I was discovered.

Just when I thought I was going to die, a guard rescued me, followed by another group of people, they fought with the rebels, and I was rescued.

The guard's name was Zheng Yansheng, and he said to me, "Leave the palace quickly and find a place to live a good life!"

I'm embarrassed.

I'm penniless now, and letting me out would be killing me.

So, Zheng Yansheng took me into a mansion where there were many officials and guards.

The leading man, they all respectfully call him Zhang Xiang.Zhang Xiang has a good temper, and he properly arranged for some of us who were rescued from the palace and refused to leave.I was the most seriously injured, Zhang Xiang personally treated me, and finally I became his servant as a matter of course.

Outsiders often came in and out of the house, and they all came to discuss important matters with Zhang Xiang.

Once, I heard them say that they had surveyed and found that there were not many people escorting the emperor, and they were going to ambush in the Lianhuagou area of ​​Zhennan to secretly rescue the emperor.

I was immediately moved.

My home is there and I want to go home.

I volunteered to keep up with the rescue team.

When we arrived at Lianhuagou, they rescued the emperor and came to join us.

We were happy, but within a day, we were discovered. King Cheng's men chased us, and sharp arrows shuttled through the woods, piercing deeply into the tree trunk.

Dozens of elites were killed or wounded.

I hid in the grass, wiping the tears that kept falling on the back of my hand.

When I left home, my parents said I was ignorant of the world, which may be true.It's like I followed here without knowing the heights of the sky and the earth, and I couldn't help anything, but became a burden instead.

Zheng Yansheng was hit by a poisoned arrow, he cut the wound, thick black blood gushed out.

"do not Cry……"

I still can't stop crying.

"It's me... I want to follow, I'm a waste, I can't help you, I need you to protect me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"It takes a lot of effort to protect you. Don't we have to protect the emperor as well? You are not useless. The emperor handed it over to you. You must protect him well, you know? As long as the emperor is alive, Zhaoguo still has hope!" Zheng Yansheng's complexion was very bad. The toxin had not yet spread throughout his body, and he still had the strength to make the final struggle.

The last time I fled, I carried the emperor on my back and fled to the front, and they were cut off.

I ran desperately, running hard, and I didn't stop until I lost feeling in my legs and my lungs were burning with pain.

Finally, we escaped.

Settling in the dilapidated mountain temple, the emperor locked himself behind the statue, and Zheng Yansheng's poison had penetrated deep into his internal organs.

"The emperor... I will leave it to you!"

This was the last sentence Zheng Yansheng said to me. I cried and promised him, but he couldn't hear me.

My Majesty and I hid in the temple for several days, and the Majesty was always depressed, his lower body was disabled, so I went out to beg for food for the Majesty.

There is chaos outside, everyone is in danger, and begging has become difficult.

I was worried about my parents, third sister and fourth brother. Once I went out to beg for food, I took the opportunity to go back to Lianhuagou.

All I saw were ruins everywhere.

King Cheng's soldiers and horses rebelled, and forces from all over the country rose up. Most of them were undisciplined and scattered organizations.

The third sister was naked and lying in a pool of blood, she couldn't bear to die, following her gaze, the corpses of her parents were not far away, her face was terrified, the fourth brother had his head cut off, his death was horrific.

My head was buzzing.

My whole body trembled, my heart seemed unable to beat, and my tears seemed unable to flow.

I walked to the river and looked at the calm lake. I didn't know what the purpose of life was. My family's voices and smiles were still in my mind. I was the only one who was surviving in this world. I really wanted to throw myself into the river.

But no!I promised Zheng Yansheng to protect the emperor.

After standing by the river for a long time, I got up and went back.

I buried my family members, and I took all the food, rice and noodles I could find in the ruins.

At the entrance of the mountain temple, I looked up and saw the tall wintersweet tree, the wintersweet was in full bloom, and the petals fell on my face, and I finally shed tears.

Auntie, I want to eat plum cake...you can get up and make it for me, okay...

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Chen.

The emperor and I stayed in Zhennan for more than half a month. I begged for some money and prepared to go back to Beijing with the emperor to join Zhang Xiang, but on the way back to Beijing, I heard that the imperial court had captured a group of rebels from the previous dynasty and beheaded them in the street. , the leader is said to be Zhang Jian, the left prime minister of the former dynasty.

After I found out, I was so frightened that I hurriedly took the emperor to another route and fled to the north.

In the past 13 years, we have visited many places on the way of fleeing, and finally settled in Peizhou, the northernmost city.

"Why is it steamed bun again?"

I was a little embarrassed holding the steamed bun. The emperor is very good-looking, even if he is angry, this extremely beautiful face is not too scary.

"What are you doing?" The emperor stopped me when I walked out of the hut.

"I went to sleep outside, aren't you still angry with me?" I said so, thinking about going to the neighboring village to buy two green onion rolls for the emperor tomorrow morning.

It was raining heavily outside, the door opened a small crack, and the cold wind slipped in along with the raindrops.

"In such a heavy rain, you are not afraid of drowning yourself in the cowshed! Why don't you roll up to sleep!" After speaking, the emperor coughed twice.

I pursed my lips, feeling very happy.

Although the emperor is often angry with me, I know in my heart that it is because he has suffered a great blow, he is burdened with heavy memories, the country is ruined and his family is destroyed, and his beloved concubine is pregnant with other people's children. That's why he is moody, perverse and violent.

On the second day, I took the straw hat and went to the neighboring village. When I turned around, the emperor was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Sometimes I don't know why I take care of the emperor without asking for anything in return. Maybe it's because in this world, the emperor is the only one who can rely on me, and I only have the emperor.

When I was pushed hard into the river, I felt a sense of relief in my heart, and all kinds of things in this life gradually appeared before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

so dead

well...

Consciousness slowly disappeared, and the image of the emperor staring at him appeared in his mind, his long hair was scattered, and he accused himself of not knowing what he meant.

no!I can't just die like this!The emperor is still waiting for me at home!

Before dying, I thrashed feebly twice.

How could... just die like this...

Not reconciled!

I opened my eyes weakly, as if I saw the emperor.

"Wake up! He's awake! Xu Guang, send Han Qizhi!"

[The author has something to say: It was too cold in the afternoon, and I fell asleep, congratulations to Xiao Lianzi for recovering his memory, hahahahaha]
