Chapter 25 The Big Role of Little People

"Damn, it's really unlucky to thank guests behind closed doors."

"Damn it, I wasted 20 taels of silver, I can't get any shit, and I have to be on duty all day on the first day of the new year, what a loss!"

At the gate of the Zhou Mansion, two guards stood together with their arms folded. You spoke to each other, full of resentment and remorse. The cold wind mixed with residual snow blew on their faces, and the two shrank their necks. obvious.

"Both of you, quickly go to Lord Fuguo's mansion and ask if Lord Fuguo went to the palace last night, and what exactly happened!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a bearded face came over and said coldly to the two of them,
"Hurry up, the master is still waiting in the mansion!"

"Yes!"

The two men were stunned for a moment, and the depression on their faces became more intense, but this man was the housekeeper of the house, the eldest lady's cousin, they didn't dare to reveal it, they answered in a low voice, and hurried out of the gate.

"Damn it, not only do you have no money to earn, but you also have to go on errands? Today, our brothers are really unlucky!"

"Damn it, if I knew it, I would have stayed at home and slept late. I have to go to the Fuguo Mansion, and I have to see the faces of those guys. I have to pay a few taels of filial piety."

The two walked further and further away, gradually disappearing into the wind and snow, and there were faint curses full of complaints spreading out.

The Zhou Mansion is not very far from the Fuguo Mansion, just two streets away. Soon after, the two came to the gate of the mansion that looked extraordinarily simple, and they approached the two guards with smiles on their faces.

"Brother, we are from Lord Zhou's house, the master asked us to come and confirm something."

While speaking, the slightly fat man reluctantly took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, and stuffed it into the hands of the haughty-looking guard.

The guards in the Fuguo Mansion all knew Lord Zhou's cautious nature, and had seen these two nurses, and had experienced this kind of thing many times, so they didn't have any worries, so they generously accepted the money and said with a smile,

"what's up?"

"Well, did Lord Fuguo leave the mansion and go to the palace last night? Do you know what exactly happened?"

"There is indeed such a thing, but we don't know exactly what the reason is!"

The guard replied casually,

"The affairs of Mr. Fuguo are not something we unknown people can know."

"That's true……"

The two of them were already very depressed, besides it was freezing cold, they were anxious to go back to get warm, they probably asked a few more questions and didn't go any further, handed their goodbyes with smiles, and went back to Zhou Mansion.

……

The living room of the Zhou Mansion.

The cold wind was blowing on the window, making a slight crackling sound, and the light in the charcoal brazier was flickering slightly. Zhou An sat with serious eyes, sipping hot tea, while Pan Renyi knelt on the ground, his heart beating violently, and the palm of his hand was oozing. There was a trace of sweat.

"Master, the man is back!"

A respectful voice suddenly came from outside the door. Pan Renyi's body trembled and he clenched his fists nervously. His face also turned pale slightly, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop pouring out.

"Come in."

"Yes!"

The two nurses walked in with a gust of cold wind, bowed their hands respectfully to Zhou An, and said in a low voice,

"My lord, I asked at Lord Fuguo's mansion. He did go to the palace last night, but I didn't find out what it was. I heard from the guards at the mansion that it should be something very important. They Not qualified to know."

"kindness……"

Zhou An frowned, glanced at Pan Renyi again, turned his head and asked,
"Has Master Fuguo returned to the mansion?"

"Uh……"

The faces of the two nurses froze suddenly, and there was a bit of panic in their eyes. They were in a hurry to come back to keep warm, and they didn't ask about this at all. What should we do?If you tell the truth, you will inevitably be scolded bloody by the master, and you may even be fined!
"hiss……"

Pan Renyi's body also froze suddenly, and he was about to reveal his secrets. He gritted his teeth, his hands tensed, and then he clenched his fists. If there was any change, he would fight out immediately and return to the palace to report to Eunuch Su and His Majesty. Son!

"Master, Lord Fuguo...he didn't come back!"

Just when Pan Renyi raised his breath and was about to strike, one of the guards stammered.

"Okay, I get it, let's go!"

Zhou An's gaze relaxed a little, and he drove the two nurses out with a wave of his hand, then called the bearded man in again, and ordered,
"Prepare the horse, the old man enters the palace immediately!"

"Yes!"

Pan Renyi's stiff and tense body suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then froze for a moment, then rushed to Zhou An, urging,
"Master Zhou, let's hurry up!"

"understood."

Da da!

Not long after, the two maroon horses left the Zhou mansion, galloped towards the imperial palace, and soon disappeared in the wind and snow. At the gate, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, fortunately I reacted quickly, otherwise I would be scolded again!"

"Brother, you are really lucky. You were confused, and you were so confused. I invite you to drink tonight!"

"It's easy to say...haha!"

The two guards laughed heartlessly.

Fengyi Palace.

The smell of blood roared and spread in the cold wind. The two hundred guards of the Tengxiang camp carried horizontal knives at their waists and looked around vigilantly with ferocious eyes. The four little eunuchs were wrapped in black and scattered in every corner , while adjusting the internal strength of the breath, while stabilizing the physical injury.

Inside the hall, Wu Chong's face became paler, the fur robe on his body was pulled tighter, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the hall, his pupils were full of tension and worry.

Su Hanyun stood beside him, his eyes flickering, and he was quickly thinking about the possibility of the success of this plan, but after thinking for a long time, he finally sighed. He didn't know Zhou An, Chen Bingli and others at all. Can rely on providence.

"I hope God won't let me die like this!"

Su Hanyun muttered to himself.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chen Bingli and Chen Shangshu have arrived."

Not long after, there was a reverent voice from outside the hall, Wu Chong's expression tightened, he coughed, and hurriedly got up to greet him, Su Hanyun also hurriedly followed.

"Chen Shangshu!"

Standing outside the door was an old man with white beard and hair, a gloomy face and shining eyes. When he saw the pale Wu Chong, he was slightly taken aback, knelt down on the ground, and said almost crying ,

"The old minister sees His Majesty, the rescue is late, please forgive me!"

"Chen Shangshu, hurry up and come in!"

Wu Chong helped the latter up with a face full of respect, and welcomed him into the hall. His respect was not artificial, but from the heart. If Chen Bingli hadn't been loyal to the Wu family these years and stubbornly resisted Xiong Yuting's general trend, Wu Chong would not have survived. until now.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

The main minister did it, Chen Bingli glanced at Fengyi Palace, and saw the mottled blood on the ground, as well as the tied up Empress Empress, a trace of doubt appeared on her wrinkled face.

"That's the way it is!"

Wu Chong coughed and told what happened last night, and then said,
"Now, I have reached the final moment of confrontation with Xiong Yuting and his counselor Shen Liuyuan, and I want Chen Shangshu to help me!"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, the old minister should do his best!"

Chen Bingli was horrified by the thrilling actions of Wu Chong, Su Hanyun and others last night, his face was filled with unconcealable excitement, he knelt on the ground,
"Your Majesty please order!"

"Chen Shangshu!"

Su Hanyun got Wu Chong's instruction, stood up and helped Chen Bingli up, and then explained his plan in detail. The latter's eyes gradually became serious, and finally nodded resolutely, and said,

"My little eunuch is a talent of heaven, and now he is in a situation where there are ten deaths and no life. He can find such an exquisite method. I admire you!"

"Please don't worry, the old man will definitely help you succeed at all costs!"

"Our family is very grateful to Chen Shangshu!"

Su Hanyun also had a lot of admiration for this old Shangshu, and he bowed his hands respectfully to express his gratitude. Afterwards, the three of them sat down each other, waiting for Zhou An's arrival. As time passed, the faces of the three gradually became worried. More than an hour has passed, and this guy hasn't come yet?
Is something wrong?

"Shangshu Zhou is here!"

At this time, there was a shrill, reminding cry from outside the hall, and it was from Pan Renyi.

"coming!"

The eyes of the three suddenly turned sharp!
