After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 87

Wei Xingzhi went back to the Wei Mansion wanting to cry but without tears. After packing up and saluting, Xia Feng packed him up and sent him to the palace, and took Wan Qiyou away along the way.

The Qin family finally found peace for a while, Qin Changbai and Qin Changchen's injuries are getting better day by day, occasionally the Qin family will visit the Wei residence.

At the end of autumn, the end of autumn passed, it was winter, and it was very cold, Feng Qi lit two pots of red charcoal, and the hall was as warm as spring.

Cheng Wansu had already lifted the ban, but she hadn't stepped out of Fengqi Palace, she wasn't sure if the emperor knew her identity, she didn't dare to act rashly, and stayed in the palace obediently, watching the changes.

After so many days, the emperor did not punish her, but let Wei Xingzhi live in the palace.

Oh, isn't this giving her a chance?

Cheng Wansu touched the gold-plated hand stove, leaned on the imperial concubine's bed in ordinary clothes, with a thick fluffy blanket on his body, half-closed his eyes and said, "Heng Wu, tell Concubine Xu Xian, Your Majesty wants to accept Wei Xingzhi as his concubine." , will keep her in the palace."

"Yes." Heng Wu hesitated, "Concubine Xu Xian is proud, will she not be fooled?"

"No." Cheng Wansu's eyes drooped, and he sneered, "She has such a simple mind, but is also impulsive and irritable. If she knew that the reason why the emperor didn't enter the harem for a long time was because of Wei Xingzhi, guess what she would do?"

"Your servant understands." Heng Wu nodded.

Wei Xingzhi was bored and sat in the position of the chief eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs.

White inner garment, round neck red robe lining, the robe fell to the ground, covering the pair of fluffy deerskin boots, the large-sleeved outer shirt was embroidered with intricate golden silk patterns, and there was a circle around the sleeves and the edge of the clothes fox fur.

It's just getting cold, and I can't stand the cold.

Wei Xingzhi propped his chin with his hand, holding a writing brush in his hand, looking tired.

"My lord, my lord, there is a new dish in the imperial dining room, you must like it."

Eunuch Li, deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, humbly carried a plate of white, tender and fragrant pastries, and ran over non-stop and placed it in front of Wei Xingzhi.

"My lord, try it. The emperor has not used this thing before, so I sent it to you first."

Wei Xingzhi raised one eye, glanced at Eunuch Li, dropped the brush in his mouth on the table, and stretched out his head to sniff the pastry twice.

"It's too sweet." Wei Xingzhi frowned in disgust.

The smile on the corner of Eunuch Li's mouth froze, "My lord, you don't like the sweet ones, there are more in the back, I keep the ones you like!"

He pushed away the plate of pastries, straightened up, cleared his throat, and screamed out, "Come in."

Rows of little eunuchs came in neatly, holding the full banquet of Manchu and Han people, which was well-colored and fragrant.

The corner of Wei Xingzhi's mouth twitched lightly, recalling the day when he first entered the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of Punishment all vented their anger from the same nostril, and no one took her seriously.

After all, for a woman, winning the favor of the emperor is only temporary, so there is no way to please Concubine Xu Xian.

She giggled, picked up a few early birds, and beat them up, so she was being honest, and each one offered her up like an emperor.

So, sometimes you can't move your mouth when you can do it.

Eunuch Li was the one who was beaten the hardest. He lay on the bed for five days before he could get out of bed.

He smiled mischievously, leaned into Wei Xingzhi's ear and said, "My lord, can I squeeze your shoulders for you? Will my servant pour you a cup of tea? Will my servant add some charcoal to you?"

That obsequious look was in stark contrast to the look that didn't take Wei Xingzhi seriously when he spoke harshly back then.

Wei Xingzhi stretched out his hand, intending to pat Eunuch Li on the shoulder.

Eunuch Li looked at the bare hand, trembling all over, shrinking back nervously, his voice trembling, "My lord, my lord... No, I don't want to do it!"

He still hadn't forgotten how the ancestor had punched him against the wall with a playful smile on the day he entered the palace.

Wei Xingzhi withdrew his hand that was in the air, pinched a piece of sweet and greasy pastry, and stuffed it into his mouth casually, "Little Li, is the House of Internal Affairs so free on weekdays?"

Eunuch Li blinked his eyes frequently, and said courteously, "My lord, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the rewards and punishments of the previous dynasty. The emperor doesn't often enter the harem, so no concubines are promoted. The harem is as calm as water, so the House of Internal Affairs will naturally not be so busy."

As a result, these eunuchs can't even fish for oil and water.

Wei Xingzhi chewed the pastry, and couldn't help muttering, "What am I doing here when I'm so free? What about retirement?"

On this point, she really guessed right.

In Chengqian Palace, Wan Tuqian sat at the table, put down the last book, rubbed his sore neck, stretched his waist, his eyes were bloodshot.

Refreshing incense was burning in the censer, and there was only a pot of red charcoal in the hall, and Wan Qiqian was wearing relatively thin clothes.

"Xia Feng."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and Mr. Wei is presenting delicious food and drink in the House of Internal Affairs." He has already learned how to answer quickly.

Wan Chengqian stood up from his chair and gave a humming sound.

Xia Feng lowered his head and curled his lips, clearly thinking that Mrs. Wei was injured in Jizhou, hurting her body and background, and was afraid that she would run around outside, so she found a reason to take her to the palace and take good care of her.

Said to enter the palace to relieve the emperor's worries.

Actually, when Mr. Wei is in the palace, the imperial dining room makes a different way to make nourishing medicinal food and deliver it to Mr. Wei. You don’t have to worry about anything in the palace every day, so you don’t have to live a happy life.

While muttering in a low voice, Qiu Sheng walked in hastily.

"Your Majesty, on the way back to Beijing, He Chaoxiong encountered robbers and was killed. None of his family members were left behind."

Xia Feng's expression immediately became serious, and Wan Qiqian put his hands behind his back, showing no expression on his face.

"Bring Wei Xingzhi over here."

Wei Xingzhi rested for the past few days, his bones were loose, and he followed Xia Feng into the Chengqian Palace, the burnout on his face hadn't subsided yet.

"The minister bows to His Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

Wan Chengqian turned around, "He Chaoxiong and his family are all dead."

Wei Xingzhi's expression froze, and his fatigue was swept away, "Dead? On the way back?"

"Well." Wan Qiqian said flatly, "I know this is not an accident, but because of man-made, although Prime Minister Jia died, the capital is not clean."

Wei Xingzhi clenched his hands slightly, "Your Majesty, please make it clear that He Chaoxiong is a traitor in the Wei family's army. He relied on Chuyaolou and the people in Beijing to circulate the news. He Chaoxiong's death means that we have already alarmed the snake and searched Chuyaoxiong immediately." building."

Wan Chengqian nodded, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean."

Wei Xingzhi understood what Wan Qiqian asked her to do.

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the troops to search the Chuyao Tower personally."

Wan Chengqian looked at Qiusheng, "Let Qiusheng accompany you."

"Yes." Wei Xingzhi's face was stern, "I immediately ordered the city gate to be sealed."

After all, Wei Xingzhi turned around quickly, and the red big-sleeved shirt raised an arc in the air. Compared with the sluggishness when he came, he was a hundred times more energetic.

After Qiu Sheng went out with Wei Xingzhi, Xia Feng said, "Your Majesty, don't you want Master Wei to be in danger again in the future?"
