Chapter 144

Su Desheng moved a stool from the little eunuch behind him and sat in the yard, watching Eunuch Li, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, kneeling in front of him with four tall, short, fat and thin little eunuchs.

Eunuch Li stood beside him and said, "Hey, what's the matter with Eunuch Su asking the slave to bring someone here?"

Su Desheng is the head of the eunuchs in the entire palace, no matter how high the official position of the eunuchs below him is, he will be called a slave when they meet.

It is reasonable to say that Eunuch Li of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be regarded as the second in command in this palace, but there is another favored Xi Zhaoyi in the harem, and even Xiao Suzi, the apprentice who brought Su Desheng, is now superior to others.

Su Desheng sneered, "Eunuch Li, the people under your command are looking for other jobs now? I don't know which master you are looking for, huh?"

Eunuch Li was startled, "Oh, Mr. Su, you are joking. These four are the most powerful little eunuchs under this slave. They listen to what my slave says the most. How could it be possible?"

"Oh, then what's the matter with this screen, don't tell the miscellaneous family that you sent it by mistake."

Eunuch Li looked in the direction Su Desheng pointed, and he saw a mahogany screen carved with color, but... the screen was embroidered with peach blossoms.

His face was horrified, this is Weiyang Palace, the palace where Xi Zhaoyi will live in the future.

Xi Zhaoyi has said since the day she entered the palace that she doesn't like peach blossoms but only red plums.

This, this... was obviously done on purpose.

"Grandpa Su, this servant really doesn't know what's going on. What this servant prepared was a screen embroidered with red plums."

Su Desheng frowned, and glanced at the four little eunuchs kneeling on the ground, "What about you, who asked you to send this screen?"

The four little eunuchs knelt on the ground and trembled, unable to speak a word.

Xiao Suzi is now the eunuch in charge next to Xi Zhaoyi, so he is naturally qualified to take care of this matter.

He glared at the four of them and said in a sharp voice, "Don't hesitate to explain, is it possible that you will be sent to the Department of Punishment to explain?"

Hearing the words Punishment Division, the four young eunuchs were so frightened that they spit out everything they knew.

After Su Desheng finished listening, he looked at the doubtful little Suzi standing aside.

Xiao Suzi asked, "You mean that the maid of the Zhaoyang Palace came to you and gave you the silver to bring this screen?"

"Yes, yes, that aunt also said that the servants would send it tomorrow, but the servants brought other things along with them to save trouble."

"How can you be sure that she is the maid of Zhaoyang Palace?"

The little eunuch looked at him blankly, "I have seen her before, when Xi Zhaoyi first entered the palace, but she didn't report her family name, so I thought I didn't know her."

Little Su Zi bowed to Su Desheng, "Master, apprentice, I want to take this person back to Zhaoyang Palace. After all, there is someone with a different heart beside the master."

Naturally, Su Desheng also knew the seriousness of the matter. He was the one who followed the emperor, and he hated the one who betrayed the Lord the most, so he asked Xiao Suzi to take the people away.

Then he also left to go to the imperial study to report the matter to the emperor.

Apart from Zhiqin, there are only four palace maids left in the Zhaoyang Palace of Yu Qingcheng, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and Mo Ju has already been dealt with by her, so there are only three left.

Mo Mei, Mo Lan, and Mo Zhu knelt on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing what the empress Zhaoyi wanted them to do.

After all, Mo Lan and Mo Zhu basically stay in the apse and don't come to the front at will, except for Mo Mei who can occasionally serve her close by.
