Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

July [-]th, Prince Yong's Mansion

Outside the dark room, Qiu Xin looked into the dark window for a while, sighed in a low voice, put the food box she brought on the steps, blessed several guards, and walked out of the courtyard gate slowly.

Two maids from the West Secondary Hospital happened to pass by the dark room, and when they saw Qiu Xin stepping out of the courtyard door, they immediately chirped and said, "Hey, isn't this Aunt Qiuxin? Why are you wandering around in broad daylight? Is there any errand here?"

"Look at what you said, can he be the same as us? As soon as he entered the mansion, he came to the side of the master and raised him every day, so what's the use of doing errands?"

Qiu Xin glanced at the two women, but didn't want to talk to them, and turned to Ergege's yard.

The two women thought they had poked someone's weakness, and they were very proud of themselves. They followed Qiu Xin all the way, pointing and saying, "It's not the same now, and I thought I was a sweet potato. If you don't serve Gege well, Walking outside all day, I am not afraid that one day I will end up in the same end as her second brother."

"Hey, old sister, don't worry about others. From my point of view, Er Gege now wishes that she would stay as far away as possible."

"How do you say that? Those who enter the mansion are slaves, and no matter how favored they are, they are still slaves. Those who stick their tails to the sky and pretend to be powerful all day long will end up with nothing good in the end!"

The old lady who was talking raised her voice deliberately, and the little girls passing by the road covered their mouths and secretly glanced at a few of them.

Seeing this, the other woman grinned and said, "Old sister's words are true, but this slave should be pleasing to the master, right? I thought it was a sweet pastry at first, and I was so tired The prince cried and made a scene with him, and he almost fell out with Da Gege. Now, look at it, what does it mean to fetch water from a bamboo basket?"

"Hey, why are you crying and making a fuss? This is the first time I've heard of such a commotion..." The two women huddled together and chatted, completely oblivious to the person walking in front of him. He stopped, turned around and came towards the two of them.

Da Gege has been preparing various matters for the banquet of the Long Live Lord in Yuanmingyuan since the beginning of July.After finally taking the time to go back and forth to the mansion, as soon as he entered the door, he heard the news from the maid in the inner courtyard that Su Gonggong and others were arrested in the dark room.

"Now it's a father-in-law named Wan Xiang who is serving the prince," the little girl reported while supporting Da Gege to the back mansion, "I heard that Mr. Changshi is still selecting a suitable eunuch these days. It seems that the eunuchs in the front yard and the back yard are about to be replaced. Everyone said that Eunuch Su and the others will definitely not be able to come out."

Mo Yaqi's eyes dimmed, she didn't stop walking, and she didn't speak.

The eldest maid Baosheng walked slowly to Mo Yaqi's side, and said in a soft voice, "The servants in the mansion are used to telling rumors, Mr. Su has worked hard and made great achievements, even if something makes the prince unhappy, it may not be a disaster of death. "

"One day is misty and rainy, and the other is clear. Sometimes hard work may not be a good thing." Mo Yaqi sighed softly, "What's more, he is such a person."

"You little bastard, how dare you hit your grandma!"

Suddenly, a dirty word came into his ears, and Mo Yaqi frowned suddenly, and followed the prestige.

"Fuck, why don't you dare, it's you who hit me!"

Beside the rocks not far away, Qiu Xin was confronting two wives in a tense confrontation.

"You shameless little thing, do you think you have a brother who is the chief executive? See if I don't tear your mouth apart today!"

"Come on, who's afraid of you!" Qiuxin rolled up her sleeves and raised her chin, "I'm the aunt in charge of Ergege Courtyard. I teach you an old bastard, and I don't need to ask others for instructions!"

"Oh, it's the master who gave you shame. Today I will scratch your skin!" The woman who was beaten was so angry that she was about to greet Qiu Xin with her big hands like cattail fans.

Seeing this, the other woman hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. After all, Qiuxin was Er Gege's person, and she really made a move with her.

"Don't stop me! Let me tear off this little hoof!" The woman who was beaten was struggling, pointing at Qiuxin and yelling, "You broom star of Kefu, you dare to enter the palace even if you are a widow! I'll be back tomorrow." Steward, throw you into the darkroom too, and kill that eunuch brother of yours as soon as possible! Let’s see who will back you up! They don’t want to keep you anymore, and you don’t—”

"Snapped!"

Qiu Xin jumped on the spot and then slapped again, her voice was so clear and crisp, the cursing mother-in-law choked back into her stomach before she could finish her sentence, rolled her eyes, and almost passed out on the spot.

It has to be said that, unlike the maidservants raised in the royal mansion, Qiu Xin, who was born in farm work, had extremely strong hands, and with two slaps, the woman's face was already swollen like a pig's head.

"You, you, you!" The woman who blocked people didn't know how to deal with herself for a while, if she hadn't stopped her, her companion wouldn't have been slapped again, "Su Qiuxin, you are too arrogant, what do you think is here? place?"

"What is this place? This is Prince Yong's Mansion, a place with rules!" Qiu Xin flicked her wrist vigorously, and took a step forward, "Who said just now that Er Gege almost fell out with Da Gege because of me? "

The two women looked at each other, panicked, Qiu Xin took another step forward, with a forceful momentum, the two women involuntarily began to back away.

"And who said that Er Gege was crying and making noise in front of the prince?"

The beaten woman rubbed her lips, but didn't utter a word for a long time.Qiu Xin raised her chin, her haughty look made the onlookers involuntarily think of a certain man who was trapped in a dark room.

"Spreading rumors and slander, full of slander, disrespect to the master, and discord with others," Qiu Xin pressed on every step of the way, the legs of the two women were already shaking, "today, let alone two slaps, I'm here to slap you!" To the death of you, the master will not pursue half a sentence, if you don't believe me, let's try!"

"Aunt Qiuxin, we—"

"Kill her!"

The mother-in-law who blocked her still wanted to intercede, when a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Big Grid!"

The crowd who had just watched the excitement fell to their knees, and the maid Baosheng stepped forward and said loudly, "Didn't you hear what Da Gege said? Who dares to make rumors about the master? Send it to the darkroom now." , don't dirty the backyard!"

"Yes," several guards who heard the news immediately bowed down to accept the order.

"Big Gege! Big Gege, spare me—" The cursing woman was gagged by the guards and dragged away on the spot, and the woman who stopped her collapsed on the spot, softening into a pile of mud.

Mo Yaqi raised his head, his eyes seemed to be empty, "From now on, I don't want to hear any gossip in the mansion that slanders or provokes the relationship between our brothers and sisters. If you can't control your own mouth, just come Tell me, I can find someone to take care of it for you! Or, sew them on, and it's done! Do you understand?"

Everyone heard the words and responded frequently, each of them hung their heads and did not dare to look up, until Da Gege yelled, then they got up in a panic and dispersed.

"Big Gege," seeing everyone leaving, Qiu Xin bravely walked up to Mo Yaqi, leaned over and knelt down, "Slave Xie Da Gege is the master—"

"I'm not making decisions for you," Mo Yaqi interrupted Qiu Xin, "You also made a mistake today, so go back and report your actions to Ilha, and Ilha will decide how to deal with it. "

"Yes," Qiu Xin lowered her head, "Your servant doesn't know the rules, and you should be punished no matter what. But, Da Gege, there is one more thing about your servant——"

"I know what you're going to say." Mo Yaqi lowered his head and straightened the sachet on his waist, "Since you have entered the palace, you should put your master first in everything. You should know what you can participate in and what you can't participate in. .Don't lose the sense of being a slave just because the master is lenient."

Qiu Xin trembled, consciously comprehending the meaning of Mo Ya's strange words, her originally hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, "Yes, yes, I understand..."

"Grandpa Su." Mo Yaqi stepped forward without looking at Qiu Xin who was kneeling on the ground, "I will do my best."

Qiu Xin suddenly raised her head with a look of disbelief.Mo Yaqi gradually drifted away, Qiu Xin knelt on the spot, and after a while, resolutely wiped away the tears on her face, and kowtowed to Da Gege's back.

"Gege, why is this so important?" Baosheng helped Mo Yaqi into the Xibei courtyard, "Even if Gege wants to help Eunuch Su, he doesn't need to leave a message in front of others. Today's handling of that woman's matter is enough to attract people's attention. gone."

"Since I've done it, I'm not afraid of people saying it." Mo Yaqi's face was calm, only the eyebrows raised slightly, "I don't know how many people are staring at the other side of the darkroom now, one stone stirs up thousands of waves, and it can't be hidden for a while. .”

"Gege," Baosheng hesitated, hesitated for a long time before saying again, "Are you really going to meddle in Eunuch Su's affairs? We still don't know why Eunuch Su was imprisoned."

"It's been more than 20 years, what could it be for?" Mo Yaqi's eyes trembled slightly, "Grandpa Su is kind to me, no matter what, I want to give it a try."

At noon, the side hall of Yin'an Hall

The fourth elder brother and Zhang Tingyu sat together to play chess, Zhang Tingyu picked up the white piece, thought for a moment and then said, "According to what Master Longkodo said, the person who peeked at the memorial should be from the guards of Changchun Garden?"

"The red braids made of cotton thread are mostly used by the guards," the fourth elder brother dropped a sunspot, "Huang Ama is afraid of scaring the snake, so she hasn't publicly investigated it yet."

"It's just a braid. If we really need to investigate it, the scope involved is too large." Zhang Tingyu picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for Si elder brother. It was clipped in. After all, it is a memorial from the Northwest, which is related to military affairs, and it is very urgent to come and go, and it is normal to have a little omission."

The fourth elder brother took the tea bowl and took a sip, "Sophisticated son is suspicious of neighbors, Huang Ama's suspicion has already been planted, the origin of this braid is not important."

Zhang Tingyu nodded slightly, rubbed his fingers on the chess pieces, "Recently, Long Live Lord's health is not very good, and the situation in the northwest is tense again, and people's hearts are not stable..."

The fourth elder brother picked up the sunspot and landed it without thinking about it, killing all directions, turning defeat into victory, "Victory is not martial, and you deliberately gave in again."

Zhang Tingyu bowed his head with a smile, while the fourth elder brother shook his head helplessly while drinking tea.

After lunch, Zhang Tingyu bowed and took his leave. As soon as he left the palace, he met the head of the palace, Shi Namutu, who came to meet him.

The two sides saluted hurriedly, and Namutu quickly stepped into the inner hall.Fu Nai sent Zhang Tingyu all the way to the gate of the palace, when he saw a group of people dressed in palace attire standing by the side door.

"It's from the respect room," Fu Nai exhaled slowly.

Zhang Tingyu looked back at Fu Nai, with an unpredictable expression, "The emperor has just issued an order on the eunuch's unauthorized power, and the respect room will naturally express it. Even the eunuchs in charge of the palace have been punished."

"So that's how it is," Fu Nai lowered his head slightly, "The lord has also punished the eunuchs in the mansion for arrogating power recently, probably because he has the same heart and mind as the Lord Long Live."

"My lord has always been the one who can understand the holy will best," Zhang Tingyu walked slowly down the steps with Fu Nai, and suddenly asked as if thinking of something, "Has your lord lived in the main courtyard bedroom recently?"

Fu Nai was taken aback for a moment, but stopped immediately when he reached the point of his mouth, coughed lightly and said, "Recently, the government is busy with business, the prince often rests in Yin'an Hall."

outside the darkroom

The three father-in-laws of the respect room were invited to sit down in the courtyard, and En Chuo led them into the darkroom.After a while, more than a dozen eunuchs with disheveled hair and bloody bodies were taken out one by one.

"Deputy Manager Liu, most of the eunuchs in our palace are here," Namutu stepped forward and said, "Do you want to bring someone back to the office, or—"

"Hey," the leader, Eunuch Liu, interrupted Namutu, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief from his sleeve, and said, "You guys are just conveying the teachings of the Lord Long Live on behalf of Manager Gu. I mean, I don’t have to wait any longer.”

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Liu cupped his hands at Namutu and walked slowly to the center of several eunuchs who were being tortured.

The eunuchs who were beaten were held by their arms, and their bodies and faces were all bloody.Eunuch Liu, covering his mouth and nose, walked by one by one, as if carefully identifying something.Namutu and Enchuo looked at each other and waited quietly.

Eunuch Liu walked around several people, and finally stopped in front of the person in the middle, "Su, Eunuch Su?"

Su Wei moved slightly, and seemed to use a lot of strength to raise his head, "You are? Liu Baoqing!"

Su Wei's voice was a little louder, and En Chuo, who was standing aside, coughed lightly.

Liu Baoqing frowned, stretched out his hand to caress Su Wei's hair, revealing his blood-stained face, and said in a low voice, "How could you—are you seriously injured?"

"Eh..." The invincible Eunuch Su suddenly felt like crying, "Why are you here?"

Liu Baoqing raised his eyebrows in doubt, and looked carefully at Su Wei's face. Before he could speak, Namutu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Liu, can you please greet the prince? The prince is at the mansion today. "

"It's time to greet the prince," Liu Baoqing took a step back, looked at Su Wei again and sighed, then turned around and led him out of the courtyard gate.

The tortured eunuchs were brought back to the darkroom, and Su Wei and Zhang Bao walked into the last cell.

On the clean bedding, Eunuch Su lay down angrily, and several guard-like people hurriedly brought hot water.

"Grandpa Su, didn't you promote Liu Baoqing from Yinghua Palace? How could my master let him come?" Zhang Qilin lay down beside Su Wei, shoulder to shoulder with him, and said after a moment of silence, "I don't know what's going on in my heart." Why is it so uncomfortable, are we suffering in vain?"

"Know it and say it!" Su Wei raised his head abruptly, rubbing chicken blood all over his face, "That old man in the consulting firm dares to tease me, but I always respect him! You waited for me to go out, and I told him He's not finished!"

"This Manager Gu is really unfathomable," Zhang Bao, who was leaning on the side, said with a sigh of relief, "We have no idea how much he knows and how much he told Long Live Lord. Before he asked you It might be a temptation to talk about the eunuch’s misfortune, and it might be a temptation to talk about it today. From now on, it’s better for us to stay away from him.”

"What's the use of being far away, I'm not afraid of him," Su Wei raised his head and bit the pillow bitterly, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. It's not easy to be a eunuch by my prince's side. His eunuch by the emperor's side is not good." Is it okay to be a eunuch?"

Into the night

All the courtyards released the keys, but the side door of the darkroom opened without a sound.

En Chuo held up the candlestick and led the people all the way to the innermost prison, "Fu Nai has already gone to see Imperial Physician Ding, Mr. Su got angry today and went to bed early."

"That consultant is really an old fox, no wonder Huang Ama values ​​him," the fourth elder brother's slightly pale face was revealed under the dim candlelight.
