Outside the Longhua Gate, a group of young eunuchs were beating and kicking the eunuch lying on the ground without mercy.

Xiao Lianzi, who was passing by, heard the voice, walked over to check, and was about to stop him, when a court lady rushed ahead of him to stop the group of eunuchs.

"What are you doing!" the maid shouted, "Stop it!"

Xiao Lianzi saw that it was Xia Yun, the maid of Concubine Fanghua Gongde, and seeing her filled with righteous indignation, he offered to help, Xiao Lianzi immediately had a good impression of her.

The eunuchs stopped immediately, "Miss Xia Yun! This kid is clumsy and bumped into someone. You guys should teach him a lesson."

After finishing speaking, they caught a glimpse of Xiao Lianzi not far away, greeted Xiao Lianzi hastily, and fled knowing that they were justified.

"This group of people are really bullying!" Xia Yun said, and helped the eunuch on the ground up, only to see that his clothes were messy, his face was blue, and he was quite embarrassed.

"Thank you Miss Xia Yun, thank you Eunuch Lian!"

Xiao Lianzi took a closer look, isn't this person Zhang Ying?

"Zhang Ying?"

Zhang Ying's eyes dodged, not daring to look at Xiao Lianzi.

"Zhang Ying, why did they beat you?" Xiao Lianzi asked puzzled.

Zhang Ying is the same eunuch who entered the palace with him. They are about the same age and live in the same bunk. Although they have different personalities, most of them go in and out together. The relationship is good. Since he was promoted to Changhuan Palace, he has not seen each other again. Zhang Ying passed.

"Why did you hit me?" Zhang Ying sneered, "Isn't it because I'm just a little eunuch with no background or backing, so naturally everyone can bully me!" Zhang Ying's tone was quite resentful.

Xiao Lianzi remembers that in his last life, Zhang Ying was promoted early, and finally became the eunuch in charge of Tai'an Palace step by step.

Xiao Lianzi asked him, "Where do you work now?"

Zhang Ying replied: "It's at Longhua Gate, just an ordinary eunuch guarding the gate!"

Xiao Lianzi thought for a while: "Do you want to follow me to Changhuan Palace?"

Zhang Ying nodded and agreed without thinking, "If you really can go to Changhuan Palace, I'll be your cow or horse!"

"I don't need you to be an ox and a horse, you just do your own job well! You come to Changhuan Palace to report directly tomorrow, just say that I let you, and they will arrange things for you!" Xiao Lianzi said.

After Zhang Ying thanked him and left, the maid Xia Yun beside him sighed, "The deputy manager Lian is really a good person!"

Because of what happened just now, Xiao Lianzi had a good impression of Xia Yun, so he stayed and chatted with her: "Why did Miss Xia Yun come to Longhua Gate?"

Youth Palace is far away from Longhua Gate, so it is rare to see people from Youth Palace walk this way.

"Damn, my mother has lost her appetite recently, she wants to eat something sour, the maidservant's boss is going to ask for some candied plums, look!" Xia Yun raised the food box in his hand, and opened it for Xiao Lianzi to take a look.

Four different kinds of plums were placed in the food box, and a sour and sweet taste came to the face, all of them were crystal clear and plump, with a luster.

Xia Yun couldn't help laughing: "As expected, Deputy Manager Lian is really kind and lovely as the rumors say, would you like some to try?"

Xiao Lianzi pursed his lips, "Then our family will be disrespectful..."

Holding the plums back to Changhuan Palace, Xiao Lianzi was in a good mood and had a better impression of Xia Yun.

Throw him a gift, and return him a peach, Xiao Lianzi returned the gift to Xia Yun the next day, after a few visits, the two became acquainted.

In Fanghua Palace.

Concubine De lay down on the couch with a sleepy expression and asked Xia Yun: "I heard that you have been very close to Xiao Lianzi recently?"

Xia Yun was taken aback, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I don't think Eunuch Lian is the kind of person who would seduce people with bad intentions, he is quite nice!"

Xia Yun knew that Concubine De hated Xiao Lianzi, and would always curse Xiao Lianzi for seducing the emperor in front of her, uttering dirty words endlessly.

Concubine De smiled, got off the couch, walked to Xia Yun's side, and slapped her hard: "Remember whose slave you are!"

Xia Yun covered his face and nodded aggrievedly.

Concubine De thought for a while, and then said: "Since you have gotten close to him recently, just as I wanted, you should find a way to lure him to the well next to Suoyun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden tonight... "

Xia Yun opened his eyes: "Ma'am..."

"Last time I tied him to Duke Liang's mansion, I didn't expect him to come back, now the emperor is not in the palace, he won't die, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

On a summer night, the sound of cicadas burst out in the imperial garden, and the star-studded sky in the past was covered by a few black clouds, leaving only a few stars in the sky.

The well next to the Suoyun Pavilion is far away from the palaces, and it has not been used for a long time. If it wasn't for someone cleaning it, it would have become a dry well.

Holding the lantern, Xiao Lianzi took out the note that Xia Yun had stuffed him in the afternoon from his bosom.

(Tonight at three o'clock at Xu o'clock, we will meet by the well next to Suoyun Pavilion, if there is any discussion. - Xia Yun)

"This little girl is so mysterious!" Xiao Lianzi laughed.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Lianzi didn't see anyone coming. He was about to take the lantern and go back when Xia Yun came late from the path.

"Deputy Manager Lian!" Xia Yun cried until Lihua rained, and fell to the ground, "Deputy Manager Lian, please save the slaves!"

Xiao Lianzi went in without knowing it, and hurriedly helped her up, "What's wrong?"

"You hide first, and you will know the truth in a while!" After saying that, Xia Yun pushed and pushed Xiao Lianzi to hide in the bamboo forest behind.

After a while, two young eunuchs came.

One of the little eunuchs asked, "Xia Yun, where is Xiao Lianzi? Why are you alone?"

Xia Yun said: "I sent him a letter asking him to come tonight, it seems that he was wary and didn't come!"

"Not here? Then how do we explain to the empress?"

When Xiao Lianzi behind the bamboo forest heard it, it was the empress again, Xia Yun... Could it be that the person who has been trying to harm him is... Concubine De!

Xia Yun said again, "Your Majesty wants to get rid of Xiao Lianzi, and I'm not in a hurry tonight. I'll ask him to try again tomorrow night, and push him into the well when he's not prepared, so you two can save some time."

The two eunuchs discussed it and decided to let Xia Yun tell Concubine De that the matter failed, so they dared not bump into the arrow.

After they left, Xia Yun looked around to make sure there was no one there, then walked to Xiao Lianzi and knelt down.

"Deputy Manager Lian, this servant can't bear to hurt you, but if the empress finds out, she will definitely not let this servant go, father-in-law, please save me!" Xia Yun begged.

Xiao Lianzi helped Xia Yun up, "Why did Empress Defei want to harm our family?"

Xia Yun replied: "Because your empress knows about your relationship with the emperor!"

"Our family and the emperor? What's the relationship?" Although he lived in the Changhuan Palace with the emperor, and the emperor did like him, they didn't do anything wrong!

Xia Yun explained: "Elder-in-law didn't know something, it was all because of the flood in the Fanghua Palace that day, and the empress was rescued by the emperor in the main hall. At first, the empress was very moved, but later I learned that the emperor was here because of your father-in-law in the Fanghua Palace. You came here specially to save people, so the empress hates you!"

When Xiao Lianzi heard this, he also remembered the scene of being trapped in the fire that day when the Fanghua Palace was flooded.

"How about this, you will go to Changhuan Palace in the future, and our family will go to Fanghua Palace to be an important person tomorrow, I believe the empress will not refuse!" Xiao Lianzi comforted Xia Yun.

Xia Yun is a little girl after all, she cried for a while and said timidly: "Elder-in-law, I will go to the side hall of Changhuan Palace tonight to make ends meet, can I do it all night, I dare not go back..."

After thinking about it, Xiao Lianzi agreed.

That night, Xiao Lianzi was thinking about the scene when the Fanghua Palace was running through the water that day, the emperor blocked the wooden beam that fell from the sky for him, and his right arm was burned...

Thinking about it now, the shock at that time is still vivid in my memory, the emperor was willing to risk his life for him, and only sent secret guards to protect himself.Why did he selectively forget all the kindness the emperor had shown him?

Pressing the location of the atrium, it was hot and beating there, Xiao Lianzi touched the empty bed on the left, and felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

What's wrong with me……

[The author has something to say: there is one more chapter tonight, come just after a meal, the emperor and Xiao Lianzi will meet tomorrow, everyone, please stay safe]
