When the Regent Princess kneeled, all the children in Beijing broke their knees.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside.

The three people in the room looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"Hey, isn't this Hong'er beside Concubine Cao?"

"I don't know when the maidservants beside Concubine Cao can come to His Majesty's palace."

The eunuch's voice was sharp. He first directly revealed the identity of the person outside, and then directly questioned him.

"Xiao Caozi, you are just an outer gate eunuch. Who allowed you, a lowly servant, to enter the palace?" the palace maid shouted angrily. She had received an order from Concubine Cao to secretly check on the emperor's condition.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped outside by this little grass.

"hehe--"

The little eunuch's voice was even more charming than that of the palace maid. He didn't show any fear at all, and instead of being angry, he was laughing.

"Hey, Sister Hong'er is joking."

"I am a lowly servant, but I have a good godfather."

"This is a place where only servants can come. Sister Hong'er cannot come."

"Sister Hong'er, do you want to go in and take a look?"

The little grass fell with a loud noise, and for a moment, it stood at the gate, guarding the door.

Hong'er was anxious. If they delayed any longer, Eunuch Xi would come back.

She dared to scold Xiao Caozi, but she didn't dare to confront Eunuch Xi.

"Get out of here, you damn slave." It was too late. If she didn't go in and take a look today, Concubine Cao would not let her go.

She must take this step.

Jiang Yunchu's pitch-black silver needle had been held in her hand at some point.

Once someone comes in, there's no going back.

Although it would alarm Concubine Cao, he couldn't care less now.

Xiao Caozi smiled gently, "Sister Hong'er, you are joking. I am a servant, but Sister Hong'er is also a servant. Let's not look down on each other."

"Sister Hong'er is throwing herself at me like this, did you know that my godfather went to get food and came to look for me specifically?"

"I am also itching for Sister Hong'er!"

All of a sudden, the grass outside had an idea and changed its posture.

If I take a tough attitude, it might arouse Hong'er's suspicion.

Now all I have to do is delay time until my godfather comes back.

When he was still a child and ignorant, he was sold into the palace by his father. At that time, he offended a noble and was almost beaten to death. It was his godfather who saved him.

Then he was taken good care of and finally came back to life.

Now that his godfather has something to ask him, he would not let anyone step into the room even at the risk of his life.

"You damn slave, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to tear your skin off." Hong'er is a first-class palace maid. When she reaches a certain age, she can be sent out to other places.

How could she bear to hear the lowly little grass saying this about herself?

He simply raised his hand and hit him.

With a "pop" sound, not only people outside the yard, but even people inside could hear it clearly.

Jiang Yunchu narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that Xiao Caozi was stalling for time, but...

"You are allowed to be a cheap slave, so you should recognize your own status."

Hong'er looked at the person in front of her proudly, with an attitude of superiority.

Just as Jiang Yunchu was about to move, Ning Chengyan grabbed his wrist and gently shook his head.

Even Fang Ziluan on the side had a rather dark complexion at this moment.

"Miss Hong'er, you are so impressive!"

"Come to His Majesty's palace to teach my family's godson a lesson. Was that Concubine Cao's idea?"

After all, Eunuch Xi is a favorite of His Majesty, and those who can make him back down are now in His Majesty's bedroom.

When Hong'er heard Eunuch Xi's voice, her whole body stiffened.

"Eunuch Xi, this servant was disobedient. Hong'er was just helping you discipline him." Hong'er's face turned pale and she quickly turned around and saluted.

Eunuch Xi is the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, and all these palace maids and eunuchs are under his charge.

This is also why she waited until Eunuch Xi left before she dared to come over.

did not expect……

"Discipline?"

Eunuch Xi smiled gently and said, "How can I trouble Miss Hong'er?"

"Little Caozi."

"Godfather." Xiao Caozi breathed a sigh of relief that his godfather was back.

"Take His Majesty's meal first."

As he spoke, Eunuch Xi carefully placed the meal in Xiaocaozi's hands, then looked up at Xiaocaozi's already red and swollen face.

"Please trouble Miss Hong'er to discipline our godson."

"but……"

Before he could finish his words, a slapping sound came from outside.

And it was accompanied by a female exclamation.

"This is the education that the godfather, Zajia, has given to the girl."

"It's not even the turn of a palace maid to educate the godson of this family."

"If Concubine Cao has any orders, I will be at your service at any time."

Eunuch Xi had a gloomy face. When he looked at Hong'er's expression, his narrowed eyes seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

"You, you guys..."

Hong'er covered her face, looked at the two people fiercely, then turned and left.

"I won't send you off."

Eunuch Xi's voice was a little cold. Didn't he come here at this time just to see how the Emperor was doing?

It really gave them courage!

"Come in with Zajia." When they reached the door, Eunuch Xi held the tray and looked at his godson behind him.

Xiao Caozi's eyebrows twitched, but seeing his godfather's expression, he still asked carefully, "Is it okay?"

In this palace, the only one he can rely on is his godfather.

He knew something about the current situation in the palace, more or less.

He also sent some information.

but……

Eunuch Xi looked at him deeply and said, "Wait a minute."

It’s not that I don’t believe it, but in this deep palace, the less you know, the longer you live.

"Princess, I beg you, do you have any medicine for my wounds?"

Eunuch Xi knelt on the ground, without looking up, his eyes fixed on the ground.

Now in the palace, ever since the Emperor was poisoned and fell into a coma, many places have been controlled by Concubine Cao. Even the Empress's palace has been controlled by Concubine Cao.

He is fine because he offended Hong'er today, but Xiaocaozi may be in trouble.

"Apply it once a day." Jiang Yunchu handed him a white porcelain bottle, and then said softly, "Let the prince go and get the news."

"Put the person in front of you quickly."

"Empress Cao is not someone who can endure this."

A few words, also to please the eunuch.

Concubine Cao used to be a domineering person, especially after she gave birth to the third prince, she became as powerful as the empress.

It was not until the Cao family was beheaded that she knew everything was over. Only then did she agree to the person behind the scenes, leading to the current scene.

If we let the person out again, he will probably be a corpse by then.
