"Are you okay?"

"Sir, it's okay. It's just this eunuch who makes me angry!"

Guan Ning was about to say something when suddenly, a thin young eunuch who was carrying goods whispered to Guan Ning.

"Two young men, hurry up and move. If Eunuch Qing sees you talking secretly and not working, you will be beaten."

Guan Ning looked over and saw that the young eunuch was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very young, very thin, and had a good temper. He looked like the kind of honest man who was often bullied.

"Thank you." He said sincerely.

The young eunuch seemed very happy to have found someone who could talk. He looked around and quietly handed over a bottle of medicine: "Two young men, take this. Apply it on your face and you will be healed soon."

"My name is Xiaoshouzi, and I'm from Yanqing Palace." He was very enthusiastic and introduced himself.

Guan Ning gestured to Yu Dilong to accept it, and then silently took away a jar of wine from behind him.

"It's okay, brother, I'm used to it, I can move it." Xiao Shouzi smiled and looked very cheerful.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "You are a very humane person."

"Why are you here so young?"

Hearing this, Xiao Shouzi smiled even more happily: "Brother, the food and accommodation in the palace are good. As long as you don't make mistakes, you won't be beaten too much. What's wrong with that?"

“When I was eight, I almost starved to death.”

Hearing this, Guan Ning fell silent, not knowing what to say. Perhaps he had just entered the palace and had not yet fully realized the cruelty here.

As they went back and forth, carrying goods and drinks, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Guan Ning glanced at Eunuch Qing who was not far away, and then asked in a low voice: "By the way, Xiao Shouzi, can I ask you about someone?"

"Of course, but I just arrived and I'm not very familiar with this place." Xiao Shouzi is definitely not one of those dark and cold-blooded eunuchs. He still maintains the cheerfulness and kindness he had before entering the palace, which is very rare.

Guan Ning asked, "Do you know a man called Eunuch Fu?"

This man was assassinated by Xiao Changhe and framed him and Concubine Ya. Guan Ning must be killed!

"I know, I know. He is the eunuch in the palace, and he is the chief eunuch. It is my dream!" Xiao Shouzi said admiringly.

"Where is he?" Guan Ning asked again.

Xiao Shouzi said, "I'm on duty in the Weiyang Palace tonight."

As he spoke, his expression was cryptic: "Originally, this job of showing off was Eunuch Qing's, but I don't know why Eunuch Fu snatched it away. So Eunuch Qing was in a bad mood and just beat and scolded you."

Guan Ning and Yu Dilong exchanged glances. A position in the Weiyang Palace? This would make assassinating him much more difficult.

"Specifically, where exactly?"

"Okay, it seems that he is in a side hall of Weiyang Palace, managing meat meals." Xiao Shouzi said.

After getting the specific location, Guan Ning's eyes flashed with a sharpness, as if the god of death's scythe was about to dance.

"Thank you."

"Young man, no need, we are friends." The thin little Shouzi said with a smile.

Guan Ning didn't know what to say. The two of them just met by chance and might never see each other again in their lives, but out of gratitude and sympathy, he decided to help Xiao Shouzi.

"Do you want to work in the harem lady's palace?"

"Think about it, think about it, the work in the harem is much easier." Xiao Shouzi's eyes sparkled.

"Within two days, you will receive a transfer order and will no longer have to work under this bad-tempered eunuch Qing." Guan Ning glanced at his wrist, which had obviously been hit as well.

"Ah?" Xiao Shouzi was stunned and caught off guard.

When he wanted to ask Guan Ning something, Guan Ning and Yu Dilong had quietly disappeared from the spot like ghosts.

Xiao Shouzi was shocked. Where is the person?

Looking at the eunuchs and palace maids busying around him, he fell into self-doubt. Was he talking to a ghost just now?

Little did he know that his fate was about to change drastically because of his kindness.

After leaving the periphery, Guan Ning easily sneaked into the Weiyang Palace along the corridor. Although there were a large number of imperial guards guarding the palace, there were too many guests and eunuchs and palace maids, so it was impossible for them to question everyone one by one. The most they could do was stand guard.
