Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 55 Sin Slave

Cao Wenxi scolded her in a low voice. She looked around and said, "Don't say such words in the future. Understood? If you don't protect everything, someone will hear you. Then it will be useless for you to cry and scream."

Yueran pursed her lips and nodded, "I just dare to say this in front of my master. I know the seriousness of it, and I also know that this is a serious matter that will make me lose my head. I don't dare to talk nonsense to others."

"Just know it yourself. I finally understand. In this huge harem, the emperor is the sky. A word from the emperor can make people's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and it can also make life worse than death."

A wind blew close to the ground, blowing up a cloud of dust. Cao Wenxi's skirt was flying like a butterfly about to fly.

"Look at how glorious Lu Cai was in the past. He fell out of favor before he fell out of favor. And Zhuang Baolin, she used to treat me like that. If it weren't for the emperor, I would still be bullied by her at will."

"That's right, that's the emperor. He holds the power of life and death. He can let whoever dies and whoever can walk live."

Yueran smiled and said: "I see that the emperor still has an impression of the master, and the master is just one chance away. As long as the emperor can remember the master, the master will not have to live such a hard life."

"It's not that easy. The emperor only said one sentence to me and nothing else happened. It can be seen that the emperor is not deeply impressed by me. I have to find a way to make the emperor remember me."

What happened today made Cao Wenxi deeply realize that if he wanted to survive in the cannibal harem and live well, he must have the emperor's favor.

If she continues to live like this, I am afraid that Lu Yunu's today will be her tomorrow. Rather than being a mermaid, it would be better for her to be a sword.

It is a good thing for Yueran that the master is willing to compete for favor. They are both slaves and maids, so why can't she live as decently as Aunt Liuyan next to the imperial concubine?

Yueran thought for a while, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the emperor will invite the Sixth Palace to join us. I can perform some kind of show during the Dragon Boat Festival, which will definitely make the emperor remember me."

Cao Wenxi was noncommittal. There were stretches of red walls on both sides. A slightly older palace man led a group of young eunuchs slowly towards this side.

Cao Wenxi happened to look over, and she noticed that although the little eunuch at the end was carrying his back slightly, he was much more delicate and prettier than the other eunuchs, with thin skin and tender flesh, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a faint bookish air between his eyebrows.

Although it was just a quick and unclear glance, Cao Wenxi recognized the person, and she stopped in surprise.

The little eunuch seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head and looked over, just in time to catch Cao Wenxi's gaze. He pursed his lips, finally smiled, and quickly lowered his head.

Yue Ran was confused and asked: "Master, what are you looking at? This is the new slave who entered the palace today."

"It's nothing." Cao Wenxi shook her head, raised her legs and continued walking forward, her heart was in a mess.

How could he enter the palace? Shouldn't he be the second in high school, marry a wife and have children? How could he enter the palace and become a eunuch?

After returning to the palace, Cao Wenxi hurriedly asked Yueran to find out where the new palace residents were assigned to work.

Yueran left quickly and came back, "Master, the person you asked me to inquire about, I heard about it and was assigned to Yeting."

"Did you find out why he entered the palace?" Cao Wenxi asked.

"It is said that the Lin family was investigated for participating in political party disputes. All the men of the Lin family were slaves in the palace, and the female family members were sold as maids."

Yueran asked cautiously: "Master, do you know that person? Ask him carefully what he does. He is not an ordinary slave, but a criminal slave. Master, it is best not to get involved with that kind of person."

Cao Wenxi twisted the handkerchief tightly, and his fingers turned white without feeling any pain.

She couldn't breathe. The young man who was as gentle as jade in her memory, always as radiant as a piece of jade, became a eunuch.

Her heart was filled with dense pain, "I had met him a few times at banquets, and then I entered the palace. I didn't expect that the Lin family would be convicted. He was originally a talented person." Realized He said too much, so Cao Wenxi smiled.

"I just saw that he became a slave and I became the emperor's concubine. I was just a little bit sad. But he deserves it. Who told their family to look down on me?"

Although she concealed it very well, Yueran, who was quick-thinking, also saw some clues. I'm afraid that her master had some kind of mortal relationship with that person before entering the palace.

"The merits and punishments are not a matter of a word from the emperor. He is also a pitiful man."

She sighed, "But fortunately, there is still one life, which is much better than losing an innocent life."

"Maybe." Cao Wenxi was in a trance for a while.

For him, who was surrounded by stars, his family declined overnight, his relatives were convicted, and he was demoted to Yeting and became an eunuch. Living on the last breath was not as happy as death.

Cao Wenxi naturally changed the subject, "By the way, the damask flower powder that Lady Zhu gave me last time, you sent it to the Clothing Bureau and asked them to make me a set of clothes according to this style."

She took out a blueprint from the bottom of the dressing table and gave Yueran a few pieces of silver.

She was just an unpopular concubine, and as the weather got warmer, more and more people made clothes in various palaces.

The scornful guys in the Shangshi Bureau were afraid that they wouldn't make it for her, so they could only bribe them with money to get them to make it for her quickly.

"I must ask them to make it for me in time for the Dragon Boat Festival."

Yueran instantly understood what her master meant. The master had been suffering from illness for several years, and now he was finally willing to accept his favor. This was a great thing.

She smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, I know someone in the Shangyi Bureau who will definitely make the clothes before the Dragon Boat Festival."

Cao Wenxi nodded. Perhaps because it was about to rain, the light in the room was very dark. A hot wind sneaked in through the cracks in the doors and windows, and Xuan'er ran in with the fallen leaves.

The door, which was engraved with auspicious and wishful patterns, was blown with a "crash" and hit the wall with a dull sound.

The air was filled with the choking smell of dust. Cao Wenxi covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed.

"The weather is getting weirder and weirder. It's such a strong wind at any time. Master, don't be afraid, please go and close the doors and windows."

Yueran walked quickly to the door and heard voices in the yard. She poked her head out and saw Wen Yuanyuan talking to a eunuch who looked like a manager.

"I wonder what the purpose of Eunuch Song is for coming here today? He mobilized an army and brought such a large group of people. Those who don't know may think that I have committed a crime."

"Oh, beauty, what are you saying? It's my servant who is not considerate in his work. Beauty, please don't be as knowledgeable as me."

The man named Eunuch Song smiled and said, "This is not because the imperial concubine was hit by a wild cat a few days ago, and the emperor was very angry. Fortunately, the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir in her belly were blessed by gods and Buddhas, so everything was fine. "
