Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 368 Exposure
Xie Zi'an said: "Think about it, what is this noble Qiong relying on to make Concubine De not hesitate to risk the charge of deceiving the emperor, but also arrange for her to enter the palace?"

"It must be because of her beauty. It is said that Qionggui was as beautiful as a flower with icy muscles and bones. The emperor was moved when he saw it." Qianyu shook her head, as if she really saw the legendary Qionggui.

Xie Zian rolled his eyes.

"Aren't I right?" Qianyu was not convinced.

Xie Zi'an sneered: "Do you think the emperor is a lustful person? Besides, there are so many beauties, why give her such an identity."

"If the emperor is not a lustful person, why would he love one when he sees one? I heard that the emperor didn't dote on Concubine Cui in the first place, why is he doting on Noble Qiong now." Qianyu retorted.

Xie Zi'an was speechless.

"Why, you can't say no to me?" Qianyu smiled triumphantly.

Xie Zian looked at Qianyu like an idiot: "If it's only because of Qionggui's beauty, then it's okay to put you in the harem. Why is she the only one?"

"Haha, do you finally admit that my mother is beautiful?" Qianyu laughed.She was born beautiful, especially when she smiled.It's just that action, that voice, as bold and unrestrained as a man.

Xie Zian took a few steps back helplessly: "A woman like you, no matter how beautiful she is, no man would dare to marry her. If you don't like her, you will beat her half to death."

"Are you laughing at me?" Qianyu raised the whip in her hand.

Xie Zi'an suddenly lost the mood to laugh, and quickly said a few nice words, making Qianyu put away the whip.Just kidding, even if he is the head of the sect, he would still shy away from Qianyu's whip.

"Master, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Xie Zian looked at Xiao Tong: "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Me?" Xiaotong pointed at himself, and then said, "This subordinate feels that we have to find out from the source. As long as you keep an eye on Mr. Qionggui, you will definitely find clues."

"That's a good idea. But do you know that Mrs. Qiong is in the palace now?" Qianyu was overjoyed at first, then she thought of something and was discouraged again.

Xie Zi'an's eyes lit up: "That's right, start from the palace, start from Qionggui."

"Is there any way for the sect master to enter the palace?" Qianyu was stunned.

Xie Zi'an smiled and said, "Of course I have an idea. But on your side, don't relax, continue to investigate the Helan family, and use it to threaten Concubine De if necessary."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"Understood." The boy also nodded.

After Xie Zi'an explained some things to Qianyu, he hurried to leave.

"Master, that boy has followed." The servant beside Xie Zi'an whispered in Xie Zi'an's ear.

While walking, Xie Zian said nonchalantly, "Just let him follow and see what he wants."

The boy nodded and followed closely behind Xie Zi'an.Because Xie Zi'an's speed is too fast, even he has to follow with all his strength, otherwise he will get lost if he doesn't pay attention.

Originally, the teahouse was not far from the new house, and Xie Zian deliberately accelerated his speed, so he arrived at the entrance of the new house very quickly.

"If you see a boy in Tsing Yi, take him to my study." Xie Zian said to the guard at the door.

"Yes." The gatekeeper nodded quickly.

The little servant showed a surprised expression: "Master, do you think the little boy will follow?"

"What's impossible?" The folding fan in Xie Zi'an's hand lightly touched the boy's shoulder, and then walked away with a smile.

The boy shook his head and hurriedly chased after him.

Not long after, a blue figure stood at the door of Xie Zian's study.

"Come in."

Xie Zi'an looked up, and it really was the boy in Tsing Yi from the tea house.He looked too thin to be vulnerable, but there was a tenacity in his eyes.

"Subordinate Tong Yu, I have met the sect master."

Xie Zi'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to salute. You have been with me for so long, you are not here to salute, are you?"

"No, of course not." The little boy stammered a little while speaking.

Xie Zi'an looked at Xiaotong suspiciously, and motioned him to continue talking.

"At the teahouse just now, the door owner said that he could contact the people in the palace. So, I want to ask the door owner for help with something." Xiao Tong hesitated to speak, and finally said the words firmly.

Xie Zi'an was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Xiao Tong to come here for this.

"Tell me."

"When I was young, my family was very poor, so in order to earn money to support the family, my brother took the initiative to participate in the court's selection of eunuchs and entered the palace. After that, the subordinates never saw him again."

"So, you want me to help you find your brother?" Xie Zian asked.

Xiaotong nodded hastily: "Yes, if the sect master agrees, Xiaotong is willing to do anything for the sect master."

"Since you are a member of Tianyi Sect, I will definitely try my best to help. But one thing, if you really find your brother, he must also become a member of Tianyi Sect. Because only in this way can we keep it secret." Xie Zian looked at Boy, look serious.

Xiaotong was overjoyed: "Thank you, sect master! My brother will definitely agree. He was very kind to his subordinates when he was young. The reason why he went to the palace back then was also for..."

"Do you have any tokens that can allow your brother to recognize your identity?" Xie Zi'an asked.

The little boy took a crude sachet from his body, and handed it to Xie Zian like a baby: "This sachet was embroidered by mother when she was alive. Brother must recognize this embroidery method."

Xie Zian took it and looked at the sachet in his hand.Because of the passage of time, not only did it lose its aroma, but it also had a different smell.He thought about it and said to the boy.

"Okay, you stay in the new house for now. When there is news, I will tell you."

The little boy showed embarrassment: "Where is the hall master?"

"You mean Qianyu?" Xie Zi'an smiled, "She will be fine without you. I will pass a letter to her later, telling you that you are with me."

"Thank you, Sect Master." Xiao Tong knew that Xie Zi'an had agreed.

Xie Zian asked a few more questions about Brother Xiao Tong, and after getting the answer, he said to the boy, "Well, you go down first and find the housekeeper to arrange a place for you."

After Xiao Tong left, the moment the door was closed, Xie Zi'an said to the air in the study, "Come out."

Before the words fell, a black shadow appeared in front of Xie Zian.

"Just now you heard that this little boy has an older brother named Tong Shuang. He looks the same as Tong Yu. You will draw a portrait later and send it to Eunuch Xu in the palace."

"Master, do you want to touch Eunuch Xu's line?" The black shadow froze obviously.

Xie Zi'an showed a helpless look: "Otherwise? Eunuch Xu is a vice-manager in the palace, but his hands are tied when he does things. That Tong Shuang, I don't know what his identity is. If he can help Eunuch Xu, he will be very happy." good."

"It turns out that the sect master has such a long-term plan."

"Okay, no need to flatter." Xie Zian said impatiently, "If Tong Shuang doesn't want to join Tianyi Sect, you don't have to force it."

"Yes."

"Then you go too. Hurry up and tell me to go down, it must be fast!"

Seeing the black shadow drift away from the window, Xie Zi'an's expression became more anxious.Since the accident in the evening, he has never been happy again.

Imperial Palace, House of Internal Affairs.

Today is the day to distribute monthly money to eunuchs big and small in the palace.Therefore, there is a long line in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all of whom come to receive monthly money.

"Which palace is it, and what's its name?" Sitting on a chair and distributing the monthly money was Eunuch Xu, the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.He asked the eunuch in front of him over and over again, tirelessly.

"What, you say it again?"

Finally asked about a name, Eunuch Xu raised his head and asked again.

"Tong Shuang, from Defei Palace."

Eunuch Xu looked at the young father-in-law in front of him, and said lightly: "You stand aside."

"What, Eunuch Xu, did the servant do something wrong?" Tong Shuang was puzzled and quickly apologized with a smile.

Eunuch Xu looked at Tong Shuang and said expressionlessly, "You, stand aside."

This time, his tone became even tougher.Tong Shuang had no choice but to stand aside, under the eyes of everyone watching, watching a person finish receiving the monthly money, but he hadn't paid it yet.

Finally, after an hour, Eunuch Xu stood up and said to the people around him, "You guys post the next one."

"Yes, Eunuch Xu."

After explaining, Eunuch Xu said to Tong Shuang, "Come with me."

Tong Shuang followed Eunuch Xu nervously until he entered a room.This room is where the eunuchs live. Although it is not as luxurious as the ladies, it is not bad.

"Are you curious, what should I call you here alone?" Eunuch Xu looked at Tong Shuang.

Tong Shuang nodded.

"Do you know this thing?" Eunuch Xu took out a sachet.

Tong Shuang's originally confused eyes, when he saw the sachet, tears gathered in his eyes instantly.He asked in a low voice: "May I ask Mr. Xu, where did you get this sachet?"

"A young man named Tong Yu."

"That's the servant's younger brother!" Tong Shuang cried bitterly.

After Tong Shuang finished crying, Eunuch Xu spoke eloquently, explaining the matter of Tong Yu joining Tianyi Sect from beginning to end.

Tong Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Eunuch Xu, you mean to let the slaves join Tianyi Sect?"

"The head of the sect said that whether you want it or not, you will not force it." Eunuch Xu said.

Tong Shuang hurriedly said: "No, I am willing! Although the slave doesn't know where the Tianyi Gate is, since he can take in the younger brother, it is a good place!"

"Tong Shuang, do you know what you mean by saying this?" Eunuch Xu looked at Tong Shuang's eyes and became sharp.

Tong Shuang nodded: "Tong Shuang is willing to work for Tianyimen."

"Then listen carefully, there is an important matter in front of you." Eunuch Xu leaned into Tong Shuang's ear, speaking in a low voice.

After Tong Shuang finished listening, her eyes turned into shock.

"After listening, do you still want to join?" Eunuch Xu asked.

Tong Shuang did not hesitate: "I am willing to give it a try. Although this matter is very dangerous, as long as I think of my little brother, I will not be afraid of anything."

"Very good. After the matter is completed, I will find a way to get you out of the palace. At that time, you can meet your younger brother." Eunuch Xu said every word.

"The slave will definitely do his best to complete the father-in-law's explanation."

Tong Shuang went out with red eyes.The eunuchs who came together from Defei Palace surrounded Tong Shuang and asked, "Tong Shuang, have you received the monthly payment yet?"

"No." Tong Shuang thought for a while and said dully.

"You didn't get the monthly money, no wonder you cried so much."

"What, how could Tong Shuangge be crying because of the monthly money! He must have offended Eunuch Xu, so there is no punishment!"

Tong Shuang shook his head and said, "I'm not punished. I just said something that I don't like to hear. Don't say anything, just go back. This matter, just pretend it didn't happen."

"it is good."

Tong Shuang was in Concubine De's palace, and she was considered the most favored by Concubine De among the eunuchs.Although he didn't reach the level of a confidant like Zhihuan, he was still worthy of talk.Therefore, the eunuchs in Defei Palace listened to him very much.

A group of people returned to Defei Palace.No one noticed that Tong Shuang stood outside the main hall as soon as he went back.After seeing Zhihuan walking out, she went up to initiate a conversation.

"Sister Zhihuan, where are you going?" Tong Shuang said to Zhihuan with a smile.

Zhihuan glanced sideways, saw that the person speaking was Tong Shuang, and couldn't help sneering: "It's Tong Shuang, why do you have time to chat with me today?"

Although Tong Shuang is an eunuch, he is very popular among the court ladies because of his handsome appearance.But he doesn't like contact with court ladies, and generally avoids them.And this Zhihuan had spoken to Tong Shuang before, but they were still unfamiliar with each other.

"Sister Zhihuan has become more and more beautiful recently, and I look even more beautiful than Mrs. Qiong!" Tong Shuang pretended not to hear the irony in Zhihuan's words.

There was a bit of complacency in Zhihuan's eyes, but she still scolded: "Bold, can you and I discuss Mrs. Qiong? Besides, how beautiful Mrs. Qiong is, I can't match her."

"No, what I'm saying is from the bottom of my heart. It's just that sister Zhihuan's life is not as good as that noble Qiong. She is the niece of the concubine De, and her status is beyond words. Let me tell you, if sister Zhihuan is like that With his status, he must be more favored than noble Qiong."

Tong Shuang's voice is getting lower and lower, and Zhihuan's dissatisfaction is getting deeper and deeper.

"Fart! She is such a slut, she deserves to be compared with me! Do you really think she is a young lady?!" Zhihuan said sourly.
