I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"My slave has spoken out of turn, my slave, my slave..." Xiao Xizi knelt on the ground, banging his head.

Xiao Heng frowned when he saw this, and then slowly relaxed his expression when he saw a pool of blood on the ground. "Get up, you little heart has hurt my Taiji Palace."

"Your Majesty is so merciful. I am so grateful that I shed tears!" Xiao Xizi kowtowed several times before slowly raising his body. The blood on his forehead flowed down his cheek, but a smile of gratitude was on his face.

"Go down and clean it up." Xiao Heng looked at the bloodstains on the ground with some disgust, and after a long while he said, "You don't need to be on duty tonight."

"Yes!" Xiao Xizi bowed and smiled, and even wiped the bloodstains on the ground with his clothes before leaving.

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, the outside was already immersed in the night. Xiao Xizi let out a long breath, wiped the blood on his forehead with his dirty sleeve, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became even wider.

"Eunuch Xi?" Nan Xing went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine for Su Minglang. When she was about to return, it was already dark. She finally saw a familiar face through the darkness, but was frightened by the blood on his face. "You, what happened to you?"

"Miss Nanxing, why are you here so late?" Xiao Xizi asked with a smile, not caring at all about the mess and embarrassment on his face.

"How did you get hurt again?" Nan Xing took two steps forward anxiously, stretched out her hand and carefully touched his forehead, "Did Eunuch Li punish you again?"

"No." Xiao Xizi said nonchalantly and wiped the blood off his face. The mottled bloodstains looked even more desolate under the pale moonlight, and coupled with that harmless smile, it seemed particularly weird.

Nan Xing took two steps back unconsciously before he remembered why he had called him: "Eunuch Xi, are you going to the Imperial Hospital?"

"Have you run out of the medicine I gave you last time so quickly?"

"No, no!" Xiao Xizi waved his hands and said with a smile, "The medicine given by Empress Zhaoyi is too precious. I can't bear to use it on such a minor injury."

"But the Imperial Hospital can't give you any good medicine! If you don't take good care of it, you'll be left with scars!" Nan Xing said anxiously, and after a while she grabbed his sleeve and walked towards Linglong Palace.

"I still have some leftover wound medicine. Although it's not as effective as the one given by the queen, it's at least much better than the powder from the Imperial Hospital."

"Why are you always hurt?" Xiao Xizi was dragged away by her helplessly, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Su Zhaoyi very good to you?"

"Of course the Queen is good to me!" Nan Xing said confidently, "But the Queen's situation in the palace is not very good, so..."

"But isn't Empress Zhaoyi a favorite concubine?" Xiao Xizi frowned, obviously realizing something strange. "Isn't His Majesty treating Empress Zhaoyi badly?"

"Shh!" Nan Xing hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around anxiously. Seeing that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You will lose your head if you talk about His Majesty behind his back!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Xiao Xizi patted his chest and promised, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes: "You said that Empress Zhaoyi's situation is not good, why is that?"

Nan Xing hesitated for a moment. Fortunately, there were no people on the road. She hesitated for a while and thought that it would not matter if she told him. Anyway, he promised her that he would not tell anyone. "Okay, I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret for me!"

"It's okay, just say it!" Xiao Xizi nodded.

"Actually, this is just my own guess." Nan Xing paused and said, "When you were on duty beside His Majesty, you must have heard the rumor that there was a palace maid hidden in the Taiji Palace, right?"

"Although His Majesty shows that he dotes on the Empress, I just feel that there is something wrong with the way His Majesty looks at the Empress. I always feel that he doesn't actually love my Empress, but is just afraid that everyone's attention will be focused on the person he is hiding, so he pushed my Empress out to take the blame."

"You think so?" Xiao Xizi suddenly felt as if she had muttered something to her. "What does Concubine Zhaoyi think? Does she think so too?"

"Madam? Then I don't know. I'm just a palace maid. How can I know what the master is thinking?" Nan Xing curled her lips helplessly, "Fortunately, the master was not locked up in the palace like Madam Shufei."

"Shufei?" Xiao Xizi was stunned. "What does it have to do with Madam Shufei?"

"It has nothing to do with her. I just suddenly thought of it." Nan Xing was stunned for a moment and said, "I remember walking past her palace gate that day and saw many people standing inside and outside her palace. I thought that Concubine Shu was punished with confinement or something, but later I asked the queen and it turned out that it was not the case."

"Shufei..." Xiao Xizi muttered thoughtfully, "Interesting, interesting."

"What did you say?" Nanxing didn't hear clearly what she muttered.

"It's okay, it's okay. We've arrived at Linglong Palace." Xiao Xizi pointed to the gate not far away. "I'll be waiting outside."

"Okay." Nan Xing originally wanted to ask him to come in, but then he thought of his embarrassing identity and gave up the idea.

Xiao Xizi watched Nanxing go in with a smile. Just as he was about to find a step to sit down and wait for a while, he saw the tightly closed palace door slowly open, and a figure appeared behind the door, but it was not Nanxing.

"Eunuch Xi." Xiao Ye greeted respectfully and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "My queen invites you."

"Empress Zhaoyi?" Xiao Xizi raised his eyebrows. However, apart from Su Minglang, there was no one else in Linglong Palace who dared to call herself Empress.

Xiao Ye smiled but said nothing. She just made a gesture of invitation and looked at him with a smile. Xiao Xizi smiled back and walked up to her. "Thank you, Miss Xiao Ye, for leading the way."

Xiao Ye nodded and walked to the front first. Xiao Xizi followed Xiao Ye calmly under the gazes of everyone.

"It would be bad if Nanxing didn't see me when she came out." Xiao Xizi called Xiaoye who was walking in front of her, "Miss Xiaoye, could you please ask someone to pass the message for me?"

"Don't worry, Eunuch Xi. The Queen has naturally anticipated everything." Nan Xing said without turning her head.

"That's good." Xiao Xizi stopped talking and followed Xiao Ye in silence.

Su Minglang leaned on the couch and counted the scattered melon seeds on the table. The entire inner hall was brightly lit by candlelight.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Xi is here." Nan Xing walked up to her and whispered.

Su Minglang looked through her at the door with interest, and pointed at the people around him with a smile, "You all go down and have a rest early. You don't need to be on duty tonight."

As the palace maids filed out, Xiao Ye calmly stood in front of Xiao Xizi and nodded slightly: "Eunuch Xi, please?"
