Chapter 377: Eunuch Xi, are you afraid of death?
Grandpa Xi's sadness is genuine. For people like them who have no descendants, apart from wishing for a good life in this life, they also hope to have a good final resting place... a good, peaceful death of old age.
Although Eunuch Shun had been secretly competing with him, which made him a little unhappy, when he thought about the only person in the palace who could speak to him on the same side as Eunuch Xi, he would choose Eunuch Shun. But he didn't expect that at such an old age, it was Shunzi, who had practiced martial arts and was in good health, who went to the temple first. It was heartbreaking to think about it.
"Really? Eunuch Shun still can't speak?" Qin Qiong asked again.
"Yes, seeing him like that, I really..."
"Can't Eunuch Shun write? Doesn't he know how to read?"
Eunuch Xi was stunned, then sighed, shook his head and said, "He can recognize words, but not many. The emperor gave him a big reward that day, and the imperial physician also looked at him, but he couldn't tell. I heard that Xiao Shunzi fainted when he heard it, and when he woke up, he either opened his mouth and couldn't shout, or was in a daze... Alas, he has all these skills, but he collapsed like this."
"You two have such a good relationship, doesn't he have anything to tell you?"
"Hey, what's good or bad? We are all just working in the palace. When he fell, his replacement hasn't been found yet. I was so busy that I didn't even go to see him. In the palace, everyone is like this day and night. There's nothing to explain."
"Really? I thought he would tell you about the man who hurt him."
"What... injured? Are you talking about the eunuchs who died? This is really chilling. Usually, those eunuchs seemed to be very respectful to Xiao Shunzi, and sometimes they even followed Xiao Shunzi to do things. I never thought that people's hearts are so different from others."
"Haha...I see. It seems like you guys are really the kind of people who are forgotten. He just got into trouble and you didn't even bother to take a look. No wonder Eunuch Shun didn't tell us who hurt him."
Qin Qiong said with a smile, and pretended to blow on the bowl gently, as if the juice in the bowl was very hot.
"What? ... Madam, you are saying that it was those eunuchs who did it that day, right?"
Eunuch Xi finally felt something was wrong.
"I said it, and you believed it?"
Qin Qiong said to him while shaking the bowl in his hand and smiling.
"Madam?! What are you doing..."
"Eunuch Xi, are you afraid of death?"
……
Qin Qiong is now living in the emperor's bedroom, so she only lives in a small side hall. There are not many people following her here to serve her, only the six people she wants to serve today. Just now, eunuch Xi had to do something for the emperor, so everyone avoided her. At this time, there were only three of them in this small hall.
When Empress Qin came out accompanied by Eunuch Xi, everyone thought that the Empress should have already drunk the medicine as instructed by the Emperor and was now going to the place for sacrifice.
The people outside immediately lined up in an orderly manner, lowered their heads and followed Empress Qin outside, so no one noticed that the smile on Eunuch Xi's face was a little strange at this time.
Also, the young eunuch who went in with Eunuch Tongxi did not come out with him.
Today's sacrificial day in the Ming Dynasty is what we call the Winter Solstice. Qin Qiong was born in the north and later went to work in the south. He had heard before that southerners attach great importance to the Winter Solstice. There is a saying that the Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year.
However, she was an indifferent person and didn't have many friends around her, so she had never had the opportunity to visit a Southerner's home to experience the importance of this day. Today she participated in it in person, but unfortunately, she went there to cause trouble.
Originally, Empress Qin was going to ride in a carriage with other concubines in the palace, leave the inner palace, and then follow a large group of people to the sacrificial altar outside the imperial city to participate in the ceremony together.
However, due to Eunuch Xi's disturbance, she left home late, and the palace motorcade had already left.
When Empress Qin came outside and saw the situation, she was not angry. She pulled Eunuch Xi into the car prepared for her. The eunuch in charge was shocked. He didn't expect that Qin Langniang would pull a eunuch into the same car. This was probably not okay.
However, this eunuch was none other than the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace. Others did not dare to say anything and could only pretend not to see anything. Thus, Empress Qin's motorcade set off amid everyone's awkwardness.
"Tell me, why did you think of asking me to take medicine?"
After the convoy was on the road, Qin Qiong greeted Eunuch Xi in a soft voice.
At this time, Eunuch Xi finally stopped laughing. Maybe he sat down and his shaking stopped.
He was really scared just now. This beautiful, greedy, rich, and shameless woman who had climbed into the emperor's bed, who knew how to read people's expressions, and who had a lowly status, killed someone in front of him with just a wave of her hand.
Moreover, before he could scream out of fear, she slapped him unconscious. When he woke up, he saw that his clothes were pulled open by the woman. Seeing that he was awake, the beautiful woman of course stabbed a steel needle into his body in front of him...
He didn't remember what happened later, but he remembered that the beautiful eyes looked at him coldly and asked softly, "Do you want to live? Then, you must be obedient!"
So, he seemed to have followed this woman out like this, and later, he got into the woman's car. No, he couldn't get into this car... Never mind, anyway...
He was almost sixty years old, but he didn't want to die yet. He entered the palace when he was very young, and lived carefully every day. He had never had a day that made him happy and able to be his own master.
In order to live, to live a better life, he didn't dare to recall how he got through those days. He thought that he had found the right master this time, and as long as he followed him, he would have his own world, and he would not have to go to the temple when he was old, and he would have a chance to go out and live a good life.
Over the years, so many things have happened in the palace, but he survived because he always had a way to protect himself. So now, he doesn't want to die even more.
Because he has reached this age and status, he will soon have the chance to go out and live the life he wants. He doesn't want to, he absolutely does not want to die.
"This... is, General Fu asked me to bring you a message yesterday, saying that you must not leave the emperor's side, and you can only move with everyone, and never move alone, so I..."
"Just what?"
"I reported it to the emperor, and after hearing it, the emperor asked me to send the medicine over. Actually, this is also a favor. As long as you take the medicine, you will be the emperor's person, and no one will dare to do anything to you in the future."
"Yes, except the Emperor, right?"
"This... this world belongs to the emperor. Aren't we all his people? What's wrong with this?"
"Since we are all the emperor's people, why do we still need to take medicine?"
"Well... didn't I say that there shouldn't be anyone with ulterior motives around the emperor?"
"Tsk! That's enough. General Fu asked you to pass on a message, but you turned around and told the emperor. I don't think General Fu asked you to pass on the message for nothing, right? You took advantage of others and sold me out. You are such a jerk, aren't you?"
"This... I am the emperor's personal attendant. I will report anything related to the people or things around the emperor to the emperor."
