Chapter 20: Palace silence

Mugu sounded six times, the distant mountains melted into the dusk, the dark clouds over the palace were darkly pressed, and the sky light occasionally fell from the gap between the dark clouds. The eunuchs used long rods to pick up the lanterns from the iron hooks under the eaves, and the lanterns in the palace lighted for the second time, fluttering softly with a halo. Lanterns were hung all over the palace, forming a splendid area, and the four West Stations alone were sunk in the shadows, and under the bare eaves, only the iron horses were shaking. This is the desolate corner of the Forbidden City.
"The emperor ... the emperor ... I miss you so much, why don't you come to see him?" The woman in red was riding on the wall, holding a papa, her eyes were dark, like an empty ancient well.
"Ouch, Madam Gao, why did you go up again? If the director sees it, my sister-in-law and I will be punished again!" Sixi was so anxious that she rolled her skirt into her belt and carefully stepped on the ladder. Climb to Gao Fei's side. He was a little blessed and climbed up the ladder to look like meatballs strung on thin poles.
Gao Fei is a four-year-old Ganxi Institute. It is said that it was because red beans were scattered on the garden path where Ma Guifei often went for walks. The intention was to cause the concubine to wrestle and miscarry. The incident was revealed. Also crazy. Originally, there were three mad women in Ganxi No. 4 Institute. Here came another one. Sixi was tortured, and her hair was a little bald.
At a loss, a fourteen-year-old in Tsing Yi walked in and put the food container on the table.
"Come down and eat!"
Gao Fei listened, hurriedly urged Sixi to go down, and she stepped down the ladder with her skirt in her hands, sitting at the table with her eyebrows low and waiting for the to serve her dinner.
Sixi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Shen Yun, you can do it."
Shen Yan set the tableware on the table, her lowered eyebrows were quiet like a painting, and the eyebrows were all daisies in the painting. He is now fourteen years old. He is as sturdy as a willow branch, but he can't eat well all year round. He has no blood on his face, which adds a little sickness.
Sixi's eyes moved down, and he saw his slender five fingers, his nails trimmed neatly, and there was no barb. Sixi's heart moved, and she touched the back of Shen Min's hand with a right hand, and whispered, "Little sister, what did I tell you that day, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Yan laughed sarcastically, and quietly retracted his hand, saying: "I have only heard that the eunuchs and maids serve as food. I haven't heard that two eunuchs can do it."
"Hey, you don't understand this." Sixi stunned her big mung bean eyes, and the dark eyes oozed the wicked light. "Our is clean, how is it different from a woman? The and the maid are eating, I ca n’t help but have something to do, the and are naturally the same ...

Shen Ye was born well, he already had this mind. Thanks to Shen Yunren in the cold palace, there is no one here, and only crows fly around in the day. If Shen Yun is errand in front of the nobleman, I am afraid that this fat has long been out of his joy.
However, Shen Shen is not able to make any progress, and he will remain indifferent no matter how he engages. Unless he revealed last time that he wanted to use a strong mind, Shen Yan had become frightened, and he was a little softer, otherwise he would not even Shen Shen's body. Not close.
Shen Minlu was disgusted and sneered, "Why, do you have to be me?"
"That's natural," Sixi used to be ridiculed by Shen Yan's ridicule, taking it seriously, accompanied by laughter, "I can tell you how much you know about the world, you see, when will I be cold to you? No Are you sticking my hot face on the cold ass? You can rest assured that you followed me, and my goddaughter will get me from the Laozizi Cold Palace to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and I will bring you, so we do n’t have to suffer Shou Leng Yuan. "
Sixi spent a few dollars the day before yesterday, climbing to the eunuch's chief eunuch, and when he was the son of the family, the shadow of Lenggong had not yet seen, and he was convinced that he could walk smoothly. These days the cows have to look like anything.
Shen Wei stirred the rice a few times and said casually, "It's done."
Sixi heard the words of joy, and Shen Min smirked with a smile, "Tonight, I will look for you in your room."
"Okay, I'll wait, I'll wait." Si Xixi couldn't help but stretched out his hands to hold Shen's hand.
Shen Zheng pulled back, just avoiding the four claws, and waved his hand, and threw chopsticks on the table and said, "I have no appetite, you can eat it yourself."
Sixi wanted to go after her, and Gao Fei suddenly held Sixi and shouted, "Hunger is starving! Hunger is starving! This palace is not full!"
Sixi Qi quickly spoiled: "Eat and eat, I can't sustain you!"
Shen Yan closed the door, the room was deserted, and the window was forgotten to be closed. Many petals fell on the desk, and they were scattered on the open pages. He closed the window, walked towards the washbasin, dipped the rubbed right hand in the water and wiped it again and again, leaving only a piece of red flesh. Thinking of Sixi's mouth and face, disgusting, uncomfortable, Shen Yan raised his hand to turn over the basin, kicked over a stool, and his breath was slightly relieved.
After a busy day outside, the whole body was sticky and uncomfortable. Shen Zheng fetched water and went back to the house to take a shower. Slightly hot water poured on the body, drove away the tiredness on the body, Shen Yan washed his face, and the water drops slipped from the eyelashes, like water droplets on the petals.
As he was wiping his body, a noise came from the window, and Shen turned his head violently, pushed on the window with his clothes on, and saw the pieces of flowerpots scattered on the ground.
Sixi returned to his room with a fluttering heart, only then he had a grotesque thought, squatting under Shen's window, poking a hole in the saliva, peeping at Shen, taking a bath, and never wanted to see him Big secret. This secret was enough to sink Shen to death, and his face became mad, and this sinking Shen just wanted to resist him.
After a few sips of tea, Sixi calmed down and sat at the table looking forward to the darkness. Cold, Shen Yan opened his door, and stood gloomily outside.
Sixi knew what he was doing, and still smiled falsely: "This is not the time to be a child, I didn't expect you to be so anxious."
Shen Yan walked in slowly, and there was a smell of unclear words in the room. He covered his nose in disgust, and looked around the room. Shen Ye wore only a lewd garment, with a thin mule outside, just after taking a bath, wet hair, water droplets meandering into the collar along the hair end, wet a piece, pale skin like Water-soaked jade is generally transparent.
Sixi lost her soul and stared straight at Shen Ha's white neck, her saliva almost dripping.
The is a very strange creature. He clearly cut off the root, but the desire in his heart is not diminished. On the contrary, he is more arrogant than ever. Women play with men, and those who are not men or women are unwilling to come.
There are many rumors of eunuchs killing food in the palace. It is said that the dead body is rotten and it is terrible. However, the palace has never been a fair place, and the people above have been punished at most by just a few blunt things, and the wind has intensified. If the dwellings in Ganxi were all madmen, I'm afraid these dogs can even stretch their hands out. To the princess.
Shen Ye looked at him coldly and said, "Have you seen it?"
Sixi shot a sinister light in his eyes, and asked, "What do you see?"
"Don't play tricks with me, what do you want to say?" Shen Yan casually flipped through the boxes on Sixi's table, freeing up a bunch of jewellery. I don't know which palace he came from.
"Do you know what I want?" Sixi salivated his face and reached Shen Yan, touching his hair secretly. "Isn't I just the one you want? Thinking day and night, tossing and turning, I can't sleep every night." His hair was frosty, and he scratched lightly in the palm, as if on the top of Sixi's heart. He had long thought about a hundred ways to love Shen Dao, and couldn't wait to see how Shen Wei begged for mercy.
"But what if I don't want to?" Shen Yan's eyes darkened slowly.
"You have no choice," Sixi whispered in Shen Yan's ear. "I know your secret. If you want a good person to stay in the palace, you have to listen to me obediently. Otherwise, I take this Things go out loud, but the little head around your neck is not guaranteed. "
"Is that so?" Shen Yan laughed without a temperature, calmly took out the scissors in the drawer, embraced Sixi, and pointed the scissors at Sixi's back.
"Of course, I will hurt you well." Sixi thought that Shen Zhen gave in, and he couldn't help but hugged Shen Yan, greedily smelling the scent of saponin on his body, and stunned, his vest violently hurt, his face The hole was convulsive, and looked unbelievably at Shen. Shen Ye looked at him coldly, not looking at a man, but at a dead body.
Sixi's hands leaned to his back, and he felt the wet stickiness of his hands. The more blood shed, the more he screamed as he killed a pig. Shen Yan drew a piece of clothes from the back of the chair and stuffed it into Sixi's mouth. Sixi held Shen's hand tightly, eyes cracked. The hands gradually weakened, clinging to Shen Ye's hands, and finally fell to the ground, with only a pair of bronze bell eyes still open, as if to engrave Shen's face into his mind at midnight to return to the soul Let's ask again.
The man was completely out of breath, and Shen Min took off his sister-in-law and wrapped him in the wound of Sixi, so as not to let the blood continue to flow out. Then, he raised the four happy camels and threw them into the dry well outside. No one knows that the dry wells of the four Ganxi schools lead to the barren forest outside the palace. This was Shen Yan's errand—when cleaning the library, he found it on a map of the former palace room covered with dust.
Shen Wei returned to the room to get dressed. He was weak and could not help the wind. He took a bunch of ropes and lowered the well, climbed the ropes and climbed down, placing the body of Sixi deep in the well. Sixi was so heavy that Shen Xuan pulled the milk to the right place. It is too far out of the palace, and Shen Yun must go back to deal with the blood in the house first.
Climbing back to the wellhead, it was dark, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a boy in black lying on the edge of the well. The boy was wearing a half-mask, holding a long knife in his hand, and a piece of blood was wet on his shoulder.
Assassin? Shen Chen thought.
He had just killed a man. The assassin was not here. He must not be discovered by Jin Wuwei here.
Shen Zhen went back to the house and took the scissors, held them with both hands, and pierced the boy severely. The moment the scissors approached the flesh, the boy opened his eyes sharply, his eyes flashing away. He quickly turned to sit up, holding Shen's wrist in his right hand. The juvenile's strength was so great that Shen Ying felt as if he was being clamped by iron tongs. Then, the teenager pulled his left dagger from his waist and bullied himself forward. The dagger lay on the side of Shen Yun's neck and pressed Shen Ying to the ground.
In the dark, the two eyes were on each other, and the boy froze, and said, "Master?"
Shen Ye also stunned, raised his hand and opened the mask in front of him, and it turned out to show a familiar face. He opened a lot, the lines on his face showed a sense of resoluteness, and a few drops on his cheeks did not know where they came from. The blood added to his countenance.
Xia Houyi helped the well to get up, and said, "You don't see me, I'm gone, and I'll see you again."
Speaking, he took three steps towards the palace wall, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Shen Yun: "..."
Xia Houzhen was very injured, and the wound on his shoulder was almost visible with bone, which must be treated immediately. Shen Yan moved Xia Houyi to Sixi's house, stripped his blood cloak, and threw it into a charcoal basin to burn it clean. Fortunately, there were some herbs in Shen's room. He took the herbs and picked some hemostatic material and applied it to Xiahou's wound.
Xia Houyun was stunned, sweaty, and frowned, very uneasy. Shen Min touched his forehead, and it turned out that he had a fever. Shen Min called cold water, moistened it with his own face cloth, and put it on his forehead.
There was a noise from outside, and someone shouted, "Search the assassins, everyone comes out!"
Shen Yan was shocked, and opened a gap in the window lattice, and saw a row of Jin Wuwei, fierce and evil, with the cold light flowing from the ring-locked armor and the goose sword.
If they were to find Xia Houyi, Xia Houyi and he could not escape. Only then did he see that Xia Houzhen's injury was too anxious, and he was only concerned to help him bandage. He should set Xia Houzhen in the well first.
It's too late to confess, and Shen's mind moves quickly, thinking about how to get confused. At the corner of his eyes, he saw the fat powder on Sixi's table, Shen Min took out a piece of rouge, put red dots on Xia Hou's head, covered his body with a quilt, and checked carefully to make sure that he was not stained with blood, and then went out.
"What about the emperor? Why didn't the emperor come! Did the emperor send me to pick me up? Great, this palace is going back, this palace is a concubine, a concubine!" Gaofei exclaimed excitedly, two Jin Wuwei Tied her to a pillar, the other three concubines were not as crazy as Gao Fei, and they all shrank under the porch in horror, exposing a pair of eyes to look at the grim men.
"The assassin was assassinated at the dinner, and the assassin fled here. I was ordered to follow up. The father-in-law quickly ordered all the people in Ganxi to come here for inspection." A guard said.
One after another, the little ran over with a small step while buckling, and stood under the porch with a low eyebrow.
The guard turned around and patted everyone's right shoulder. Nothing was found wrong. Turning his head and asking Shen Huan, "Is anyone here?"
Jin Wuwei came to the newspaper: "Sir, there is another person lying in the house."
"That's Father Sixi. He's sick and can't get up." Shen Huan calmly responded.
"Check if you are sick," the guard greeted a subordinate, and said, "Go in and see."
Shen Ye said: "The father of Sixi is full of red dots. I'm afraid the slaves are smallpox. It's better for adults to go in."
Everyone heard the words and took a few steps back in fear.
The guard face was sinking in water, and said, "Everyone has an order. Everyone has to check. If the assassin happens to be hiding here, how can I tell you? Who ever got smallpox, come in and search for me."
Two stood up and said, "Humble work killed smallpox as a child."
Shen Xun said in secret, "Why do adults take this risk? Smallpox is not for fun. Slaves just came out of it. Slaves used human heads to guarantee that there were absolutely no assassins. Moreover, the father of Sixi was the director of Imperial Horse Supervisor Liu My son, some adults still need to be careful. "
Now that Wei De is in power, the eunuchs in the palace have a very high status. Although they are high-quality Jin Wuwei, they still have to concede three points when they meet the chief. For example, Shen Yun, although he was on a business trip in the Leng Palace, anyway, it was a little affair, and Jin Wuwei didn't dare to give him instructions. Several people looked at each other, and the leader toughened: "The duty lies, father-in-law. Come on, come with me."
One Jin Wuwei advised: "My father-in-law doesn't know. Assassins are haunted by ghosts, and they are particularly good at hiding. Sometimes he stands behind you and you don't know yet. I wait for the search for your safety." Then he opened the door and walked in.
Shen Shu closed her eyes and followed through the door.
Xia Houyi didn't know when he was awake. When he saw several people coming over, he struggled to get up and said, "Slave to some adults please." Several people took a few steps back without seeing the red dot on his face.
The two Jin Wuwei searched the room and shook their heads at the leading guard. The guard looked at Xia Houyu on the bed, his eyes moved, and said, "The assassin was hit on the shoulder with a humble job. I wonder if this father-in-law can put the quilt down and let the humble job look at your shoulder."
The cold sweat on Shen Ye's forehead was frequent, almost covering his eyes, just because he kept his head down, the guard never noticed.
How can this be good?
If he uncovered the quilt and let him see Xia Houyu's wounds, today they would surely die.
