Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

Xue Shu paused and turned to look at Wei Xihe.

His gaze was not friendly, it could even be said to be coldly hostile.He has always been very sensitive to Yin Chengyu's emotions, since Yin Chengyu invited Wei Xihe to be the staff member of the East Palace, he knew that Wei Xihe was special.

There are many staff and ministers in the East Palace. They advise the prince and explain the world's major events. The prince also treats them with courtesy, but there is nothing special about them.

But Wei Xihe was different, he always felt that the way Yin Chengyu looked at each other revealed a kind of familiarity that he couldn't understand.

In his opinion, Yin Chengyu is actually a suspicious person, and there are only a few people he really trusts.But this Wei Xihe had never been seen before, yet Yin Chengyu didn't seem to be wary of him.

Just like when I brought him back to the East Palace.

It is not enough to have Zheng Duobao and Zhao Lin in the East Palace, do we need another Wei Xihe?

Thoughts were churning in Xue Shu's mind, but his face remained calm, his eyes could not deceive anyone.If it wasn't for Yin Chengyu's anger, his first reaction to the threat would be to kill him.

"What's the matter?"

Wei Xihe didn't miss the killing intent in his eyes. Although he didn't know where it came from, he still lowered his head and tried his best to make himself look like no threat: "Officer Xue's beard is not clean enough. Ordinary people may see it. There are no clues, but those who know how to do it can see it at a glance..."

"... Castrated people don't have stubble." Wei Xihe stroked his clean chin lightly.

He was robbed by bandits when he was 15 years old, and he was accidentally discovered when he was escaping. The bandits chasing him stepped on his horse and broke his legs and injured his lower body at the same time.In order to save his life during the treatment, he was also castrated.

Although he was old at that time and his voice hadn't become shrill like those eunuchs who had been purged since childhood, he gradually stopped growing stubble.

And Xue Shu's age is now two or three years younger than he was back then. Although he has been carefully shaved, there are still light blue beard marks on his chin.

Although the age at the time of purification can be used as an excuse, but there is no guarantee that it will not be used as a fuss by those who are interested.

Xue Shu touched his chin subconsciously, it was indeed a bit painful.

He had seriously learned about the servants in the palace, even Zheng Duobao had observed them carefully.Most eunuchs castrated at a young age have smooth and delicate skin, high-pitched voices, beardless jaws, and feminine demeanor like women; older castrated eunuchs have not changed so much, but it is true that few have beards.

He could still choke his voice, but he couldn't control the beard.Although I shave carefully every day, it is inevitable to leave stubble marks.

"Can you cover it up?"

By saying that, he admitted Wei Xihe's conjecture.

"Caomin has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and once came across an ointment prescription written by a traveling doctor. Apply this ointment to the jaw for half an hour, and then scrape it off with a knife, and the root will be removed without leaving marks."

In fact, this ointment recipe was originally a thing in women's boudoir, and it was used by some women with strong body hair to get rid of body hair.According to records, after several times, the body hair will not regenerate.

Today he watched Xue Shu's behavior and had some guesses in his heart, so he took a risky gamble.

"I want Fang Zi, what do you want?"

Wei Xihe didn't hide his purpose: "Caomin entered the palace as a servant, and he has neither foundation nor support. In the future, I hope Supervisor Xue will support him a lot."

Xue Shu frowned. Although he didn't like Wei Xihe to follow His Highness, he was still puzzled by Wei Xihe's wholeheartedness in entering the palace as an eunuch: "Your Highness doesn't mind your identity. Wouldn't it be more promising for you to follow His Highness?"

He didn't believe Wei Xihe's high-sounding rhetoric.

"Caomin want power, and where in this world is closer to power than the imperial palace?" Wei Xihe smiled softly: "Besides, His Royal Highness is so glorious, and the grassroots have seen the ugliness of people's hearts. I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive without these methods. Your Highness cherishes my talents, but may not be able to tolerate my despicableness."

As early as when the prince and his party arrived in Tianjinwei, he had inquired about the prince's temperament and behavior.

I had heard that Prince Zhicao was dignified and dignified, but I didn't expect his true self to be more admirable than the rumors.It's just that such a dignified gentleman might not be able to coexist with a despicable person like him.

Instead of being suspicious and dissatisfied by the Lord in the future, it is better to simply take advantage of this little credit and go another way.

Now that things have happened, he can no longer expect to walk a Yangguan road.

Xue Shu understood what he meant, and the way he looked at Wei Xihe changed a bit, and he was no longer so hostile.

Wei Xihe is a sensible person, and also has self-knowledge.

If you want to know how a person's character is, just look at the people around him.Zheng Duobao, Zhao Lin and others who served Yin Chengyu were all dedicated and pure-hearted people.

In comparison, he seemed out of place.

Occasionally this knowledge would make Xue Shu feel unhappy, but more often, he would feel happy again.

His Highness was obviously surrounded by honest people, but he was left behind.Does it mean that he is very different from His Highness?

Wei Xihe's choice now made him firmer in his guess.

"You still have some eyesight." Xue Shu glanced at him and said, "After returning to Beijing, I will arrange it for you."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the waiting carriage.

Yin Chengyu waited in the carriage for a while before seeing Xue Shu come up.He frowned slightly dissatisfied: "What did you say to Wei Xihe?"

Naturally, Xue Shu would not hide it from him, so he recounted the conversation between himself and Wei Xihe, and asked again: "Is what Wei Xihe said right?"

Yin Chengyu lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Wei Xihe was right, of course, but that was already his previous life.

He has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he is determined to be a dignified and courteous prince.He devoted himself to the great Yan Jiangshan, did not form a party or seek selfishness, was filial to his parents, and filial to his brothers.Everyone in the court and the market praised him, but what happened?

On the day when his mother died of dystocia, he was drugged and framed, and was found lying on the same bed with the harem concubine.

Even if everyone knows it well, it's a frame-up.

However, the emperor scolded him for his lack of morality, and the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty saw the Yu family fall and the empress collapsed, and no one dared to appeal for him; Reviled, fell into the quagmire from a high platform, and was imprisoned in the imperial tomb for five years since then.

Later, he gambled everything and did not hesitate to serve others in exchange for a chance to stand up.

Not long after he returned to the court, he finally found evidence to clear his name, but he didn't feel very happy.

That day, he got drunk and asked Xue Shu why the world was so unfair, Dongliang was wronged and wronged, but the treacherous man was at ease?

Xue Shu looked at him silently, and said for a long time: "The world is so unfair. If you want justice, you have to hold the power in your own hands." He raised his chin frivolously: "If there is no power, the prince will Your Majesty, how could you mess around with an eunuch from our family? If His Highness is unwilling, you can fight for it yourself."

His words were harsh, but they were true.

The court is deep in the palace, an arena where intrigues and power struggles are fought.If you don't fight or rob, and think you are upright, you will be trampled into the mud one day.

Since then, he has abandoned his previous foolish persistence.

A dark color flashed across Yin Chengyu's eyes, and he lowered his eyes sullenly: "If Gu Ruo likes innocent people, why would he keep you by my side?"

"I'm different." Xue Shu frowned and retorted.

"Why are you different?" Yin Chengyu raised his eyes, leaned over and pinched his chin, and said with a sneer, "How much better is your color than others?"

Xue Shu didn't say a word, he held his breath and stared at the face that was close to him.

Yin Chengyu met his gaze and realized that the two were too close.Probably because he had suffered too many setbacks from this person in his previous life.In this life, I can't help but want to return those tricks as they are.

He let go of the person and pushed him away, then leaned back and gave him a lazy look: "Sit far away, don't block Gu's eyes."
