Deep ice

The emperor had a cold face, like a jade carved porcelain figurine, expressionless.

The eyeballs move occasionally, but they always move where the fool can't see.

Xi Lian stopped prying, straightened his face, looked at the dragon chariot not far away, and understood three points in his heart.

So what if he got angry, could it be possible to chop him off again?

Huaihuai and Chunbao were sweating profusely, and in this day when their ears were frozen, their heads were covered with wisps of white steam.

Chunbao couldn't take it anymore, so he squatted down, "I can't, I'm tired... Tired of a fool..."

Huaihuai's physical strength is fair, and he is unyielding, grabs Chunbao, and surrounds the emperor for another meal.

Chun Bao had long since lost that enthusiasm, and let Huai Huai drag him around like a dead person, not bothering to raise his hands.

Yuan Jing quickened his pace and headed towards the dragon chariot.The eunuchs and guards behind them shrank their necks like quails and rushed out of the garden, lifted the curtain and raised the chariot, waiting for the emperor to drive back to the palace.

Just as Xi Lian put down the yellow curtain, he accidentally heard a long sigh of relief from inside.

Taking another look at Huaihuai standing beside him disappointed, Xi Lian only said loudly, "Get up—"

Then there is nothing else to say.

-

Eunuch You found that Huai Huai's appetite was poor that day.

He only took one bite of the five-treasure elbow stewed at noon, then put down his chopsticks and went back to the house to meditate.

A young eunuch was left standing in front of the table, staring round and gobbling, eating three bowls of sorghum rice alone.

Eunuch You curled his lips, "You son of a bitch, don't be afraid of dying!"

Chun Bao bit the elbow, and the sauce flowed down his mouth to his chin, "I'm tired after tossing all morning."

Eunuch You smacked his lips and huddled together, "Hey, our family has never seen you working, I don't know where you are tired."

Chunbao pulled another piece of meat, "Huaihuai sees one..."

After finishing speaking, he quickly chewed the thick meat in his mouth twice, swallowed it, and pulled another piece.

Eunuch You tilted his head, "What do you see, you should say something, what's the matter with half-spoken words."

Chun Bao dunked the rest of the rice into the broth, stirring it vigorously with the spoon, with a look of ruthlessness in his eyes, as if he had no time to take care of Eunuch You.

Eunuch You didn't bother to argue with him, so he poohed, "The starving ghost really knows how to eat."

After finishing speaking, he hurried out of the house, only Chun Bao ate up the food on the table, and even licked the vegetable soup in the wide celadon bowl, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, and turned to look for Huai Huai.

Huai Huai lay side by side with the dead man on the bed, staring at the curtain above his head, staring blankly for a long time.

"Brother, let's talk."

Huai Huai suddenly turned his face to the side to look at the dead man, "I see you look like a monkey, give me some advice."

The man's lips were tightly closed, and he raised them slightly, giving off a sharp feeling.

Seeing that the man was silent, Huai Huai spread his arms and legs on the bed, deliberately smashed the man's heart, thinking that he must talk to himself because he couldn't bear it.

Under the tight muscles, the heart pulse is strong.

No matter how hard Ren Huaihuai tried, there was no response.

Huai Huai sat up impatiently, and was about to shake him up, but happened to meet Chun Bao's eyes.

Chun Bao stared straight at Huai Huai and remained silent for a while.

Huai Huai was taken aback, "Are you making a bad face?"

Chunbao suddenly opened his mouth, bulged his eyes and let out a full belch before returning to normal, "You don't eat?"

Huai Huai lay back and said slowly, "I can't eat."

Chun Bao said: "Could it be because that beauty didn't like you?"

Huaihuai glared at him, "Who said that! It's just that I didn't see it."

A stream of clear water hangs out from under Chunbao's nose, "Huaihuai, why do I think that's not a court lady?"

Huaihuai said, "What is that?"

Chun Bao retracted his snot, "I think it should be a man, look at that head and figure, the women in this palace are not so tall."

Huai Huai blinked, "A man? It doesn't matter if it's a man."

Chun Bao suddenly put his hands on his chest, tightly protecting his body.

Huai Huai's eyelids twitched, "...you are not a man."

Chun Bao let out a long sigh of relief, "No wonder we didn't meet him at the Clothes Bureau, I thought before that I didn't see this sister for three days to wash her apron, it's so dirty, now it looks like he's an older brother. "

Huaihuai said: "If that's the case, then where should I look for him?"

Chunbao thought for a while, "There shouldn't be men in this palace...except eunuchs, who are fake eunuchs. Could it be that he is also a fake eunuch just like you."

Huai Huai stood up, and ruthlessly pulled the dark-pattern cotton robe on his body, "It was the old eunuch who dressed me up like this, if it wasn't for him, I would still be more handsome, and that beauty wouldn't have missed me." I."

Chun Bao stared at Huai Huai in bewilderment, "Don't tear it apart. If the clothes are damaged, you can only turn around with your shirt on. It's better like this."

Huaihuai stopped, "It's okay, I have a lot of clothes, and I can't finish them all."

Chunbao's eyes were full of envy, "It's so rich, that's all I have on my body."

Huaihuai looked at the two hardened cotton sleeves, and frowned, "I can tell."

Immediately there was some disgust, "It's so dirty, you don't know how to wash it?"

Chun Bao lowered his head and looked at his body, "I think it's okay."

"Is it okay?" Huai Huai said, "You should go to the imperial doctor to see if your eyes are sick."

Chun Bao was silent for a while, then suddenly realized, "That brother...isn't a eunuch...he should be a doctor!"

Huaihuai followed suit and patted his thigh: "I just said that you are smart!"

Chun Bao was very proud, straightened his waist slightly and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

Huai Huai stepped on his shoes and got off the ground, "Go, go to the Imperial Hospital."

Chun Bao followed suit, "Do you know where it is?"

Huai Huai stopped and turned to look at him, "How could you not know?"

Chun Bao said: "I haven't been sick, so I haven't seen him."

Huaihuai was enlightened, and stepped forward to press Chunbao's shoulder, "So, only when I'm sick, Eunuch You will invite the imperial physician to see me?"

Chun Bao nodded: "That's natural."

"Then I'll go to bed and lie down, and tell Eunuch You that I'm sick and need to call the imperial physician."

Chun Bao pondered for a while, "I can't see it."

Huaihuai stared, "Where can't it be?"

"You can fool Eunuch You when you are sick, but you can't fool the imperial doctor. If you expose it to him, it's a hypocrisy and it's not worth mentioning."

Huaihuai was in trouble, "Chunbao, what do you think?"

Chun Bao wanted to lose his head, but suddenly his face brightened, "In the past, I saw a lot of people in the palace going around conveniently in private, and the person who stuffed something would smile all over his face, why don't you do the same."

"Give him something, and he will be more fond of me?"

"It must be very happy."

"Can I give you something?"

Chun Bao's eyes lit up, "I stayed in the imperial dining room before, there are many good pastries in there, I'll go and steal some, and later you put them in the food box, and when he comes to treat your illness, you go take it out."

Later, he praised himself: "This plan is really safe."

-

At the third watch, the westerly wind blows the ice balls.

The ground is full of cold moon sand.

The dragon bed was covered with a gold-painted curtain, and the thick black eyelashes fluttered slightly. The emperor was lying on it, his lips tightly pursed, like a nightmare.

The crowing oriole peeps at the embroidered tent, and the spring breeze expresses hatred for idiots.

When it is red and green.

The warm wind blew by, but the people in the middle of the room had black eyes of fear and a cold expression on their faces.

A man was tied to a long bench one foot wide, naked, his mouth was stuffed with a jade ring, fixed with a leather belt, and tied behind his head, his limbs were also tightly wrapped with ropes around the legs of the stool, A saddle was tightly pressed at the waist.

The man was forced to lower his waist and lift his hips, trying to get out, but he couldn't escape because the tie was too tight.

As a result, the whole person looks like a fierce horse that wants to run free.

The man behind him seemed to enjoy the scene in front of him.

Steaming sweat dripped down that strong body, He Yan grasped the two buttocks with both hands, and thrust them insanely.

"My lord's servant is really tight...the strap is so happy..."

Yuan Jing suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up abruptly from the dragon couch.

With a white face, he felt a biting coldness.

The eunuch on duty outside the brocade tent stopped moving, holding his breath, holding the tongs in his hand, but he dared not put any more charcoal in.

His legs and feet trembled, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

Yuan Jing smiled lowly, and lifted the dragon tent violently,

"come--"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground with a thud, "Slave...slave..."

The tongs in his hand rolled down a few feet away, the charcoal was a little broken, and the soot scattered all over the ground, scorched and ugly.

The coldness concealed the clear face, Yuan Jing frowned slightly, his eyes gleamed coldly, "Chuan Yuqian guard——"

Hearing this, the little eunuch tremblingly responded, and ran out scrambling to let someone in.

The inner hall was suddenly empty, only Yuan Jing was left.

The panting and begging for mercy lingered in his mind, like a bamboo arrow, almost piercing through the dead night.

Yuan Jing's phoenix eyes were frozen, and she clenched her hands tightly.

Thinking that a beast is a beast after all, no matter how docile it becomes, it will eventually show its sharp claws in the future.

After a while, the guard wrapped in soft armor came in steadily, knelt down on one knee, and clasped his fists with both hands, "See the emperor for the humble position."

Yuan Jing's voice was cold, "Huayu Palace committed crimes below the plum garden today and ruined the atmosphere. I will reward him with 'red embroidered shoes' as a warning to others."

-

The westerly wind blew all night in the palace yesterday.

Waking up this early in the morning, what catches the eye is the silver snow, covering the sky and covering the ground.

A group of eunuchs from Huayu Palace gathered at the gate of the palace to clean up the snow.

You Gonggong's face was blue with cold, leaning on a broom, facing the end of the road, eager to see through.

Chun Bao who was behind sniffed his nose, his cheeks flushed, "Elder-in-law, it's already time, why hasn't Huai Huai woke up yet?"

Eunuch You's face sank when he heard the words, he turned his head and scolded: "What are you asking for, go and clear the snow quickly, if you don't clean it up, don't blame our family for not serving you food."

As soon as Chun Bao heard this, he rounded his arms and started to work. In just one cup of tea, he swept half the street.

Eunuch You sighed, but he still didn't have any energy to work.

Huaihuai was taken out by several guards last night, but he has not seen a single person until now. If something really happened, the young and old Huaiyu Palace would have to change masters again.

Even though he is a fool, but after serving him for a year, in this palace, he will never find such a less disciplined master again.

Just as he was thinking, Eunuch You raised his eyes and saw a few guards coming from afar.

Stretching out his hand to wipe his eyes, Eunuch You hurriedly threw away the broom in his hand and greeted him out of the palace gate.

Seeing this, Chun Bao who was behind also threw his broom and followed to watch the excitement.

For a moment, several eunuchs in blue cotton robes from Huayu Palace swarmed forward, staggering across the snow, and when they got close, they stopped still.

There were three guards, and the last one carried someone on his back. You don't need to look carefully, Eunuch You knows who it is.

The fainted man drooped his head, his whole face was buried in the shoulder of the guard, his exposed feet were like charcoal, the purple scabs were cracked, and black blood oozes out, it looked like he had been killed by someone from the palace. 'Red embroidered shoes'.

Let's say that the red embroidered shoes are a penalty that the late emperor thought up to punish those palace officials who entered the forbidden area indiscriminately.The red embroidered shoes are not what they sound like, they are the shoes of the daughter's house, but they are ironware, if they are burnt, they will be put on the feet, and they will be directly roasted on the fire, at the slightest, the skin will be burned, and at the worst, the feet will be roasted, it can be described as extremely terrifying .

The leading guard glanced at Eunuch You, "Are they all from Huayu Palace?"

Eunuch You nodded, his face pale.

Chun Bao behind him shrugged his nose, retching from the faint smell of burnt flesh.
