The little lady in the palace

Chapter 21 Angry
The servants who had just heard the two arguments in the room waited tremblingly in the yard. After a while, they saw King Yi come out of the main room in a rage.

As soon as Yang Enlu went up to meet him, King Yi shouted: "Choose a few people to come over and look at the East Courtyard, let Youshi stay well!"

Yang Enlu was stunned: "Grand...Grandpa? Calm down! The side concubine is pregnant..."

Meng Junhuai took a deep breath, but his face was still livid: "Let her have a good pregnancy, and don't always think about what you have. The account books and other things that are in charge of her should be handed over to Mrs. He first!"

Although the words sounded softer, they didn't mean to change his mind.The little eunuchs shrank their necks in fright, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say a word.

It's not the first time that the county prince and concubine You side had an argument, but it's really the first time to see the county prince get so angry.

It was the first time to see Concubine You being grounded—in the past, at most, the county prince was so angry that he would not come to the East Courtyard for ten days and a half months, and Youshi would go to him when he couldn't hold back. , Grind him out, and he'll be fine.

Things are different with the current grounding.Youshi wanted to go to the front, but he couldn't do it. Coupled with the temper of the county prince, when he can calm down by himself is another matter.

God knows when You Shi will see the Duke of the County next time!
So all the servants shrank their heads and shrank their brains, and left with King Yijun while making decisions.It wasn't until he reached the row of back buildings between the front and back houses that Meng Junhuai calmed down: "Has that person visited?"

Yang Enlu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was referring to the eunuch who was coming from Concubine Ding: "I've been checked out, and there's something wrong with that surnamed Yan. When I mentioned the matter of His Highness being punished with a cane, he evaded it."

"Yeah." Meng Junhuai's face darkened, "Go and ask him, if you can ask him well, don't touch him first."

"Yes." Yang Enlu agreed.

He calmed down and said, "But the most important thing is to understand."

In the concierge inside the gate of the Wangfu, Yan Heng waited and waited, it was a bit strange to wait.

He knew why he came to Yijun Palace.Said that the concubine spoke on behalf of the side concubine in the mansion, and wanted to ask Concubine Ding for someone to help manage the affairs of the Eastern Courtyard, Concubine Ding pointed at him.

But after he returned to the mansion with the prince and concubine, he was left in the concierge to wait. No one took him to familiarize himself with the mansion, and he was not asked to kowtow to the side concubine.

This is strange.

Yan Heng felt that it was unreasonable, but he had never served in other palaces before, and he didn't know much about the differences in the rules in the palace, so he had to be patient and wait.He sat down on the chair by the window to rest his feet, closed his eyes and meditated, thinking about how to gain a foothold in this mansion in the future.

Heh, many people think that going from the palace to the mansion is from top to bottom, he thinks those people are stupid.

In fact, these eunuchs, no matter how good they are, they are still "subordinates". Only by leaving a shadow in the eyes of the governor of the East Police Factory can they really become "superior".

Want to make a mark in the Duke's eyes by doing things in the palace?Dream it!
There are only so many people in the palace, and the intrigue between concubines and concubines is limited, no matter how lively it is, how can it compare to the twists and turns of various families in Beijing?What's more, from courtiers to clan relatives, everyone has their own power, and they may find trouble with Dongchang one day. The Duke will naturally want to keep an eye on these people.

In fact, Yan Heng has been secretly thinking about it for a long time, and wants to work in a certain mansion.It's just that he didn't expect that this opportunity would come so smoothly and so quickly.

"Hey, Eunuch Yan." After hesitating for a long time, the porter's boy finally decided to flatter him with tea.Yan Heng raised his eyelids, took the tea, and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The boy smiled, moved a small wooden stool over, and sat down beside Yan Heng, "Eunuch Yan, you have a full heaven, and you are a lucky person at first glance. Please take care of me in the future!"

"I owe you a good word." Yan Heng said in a soft tone, but he actually felt very useful in his heart.From the corner of his eye, he saw someone at the door and raised his eyes. After seeing the clothes of the leader, Yan Heng stood up.

"Are you..." Yan Heng bowed his head and asked.

"Eunuch Yan, right?" Yang Enlu walked in with his hands behind his back, and looked at the eunuch who was seven or eight years older than him, "My servant is Yang Enlu."

"Oh... Eunuch Yang! I have been admiring you for a long time!" Yan Heng bowed again, "I don't know when I will take you down to kowtow to the side concubine?"

"Oh, let's go now." Yang Enlu smiled slightly, stopped greeting him, turned around and went out.

Yan Heng followed behind, followed by several other eunuchs.A group of people stepped into the gate of the next mansion one after another. Yang Enlu waved his hand, and the vermilion lacquered gate was suddenly closed.

Unknown to Yan Heng, as soon as he turned around, a ball of cloth was stuffed into his mouth head-on, and the sack immediately covered him!
"Woo... woo!!!" Yan Heng tried to break free in a panic, but the rope around his body became tighter and tighter.He tried to lift his foot to step on the person next to him, and he got kicked hard in the hollow of the knee.

Yang Enlu looked at him condescendingly and smiled coldly: "Take him to the back building, and the Sa family will chat with him."

There are only two things that are most important to him, one is to complete the tasks assigned by the prince, and the other is to never give other eunuchs a chance to replace him.It would be another matter if the lord issued a death order saying that no one could be hurt, but since what the lord said was "the most important thing is to understand", then...

Hehe, just tell the prince that this kid is dishonest, kill two birds with one stone.

The back building in the mansion has two floors, the first floor is used to store money, food and cloth, and the second floor is mostly empty.After Yang Enlu accepted the job, he asked someone to open an empty room, and now he escorted Yan Heng over here, and when he reached the door, he pushed him inside.

Yan Heng hit his head on the door first, then his foot was kicked by the threshold and he fell to the ground.

He couldn't figure out what was going on around him, all he could see was the earthy yellow color of the burlap, he took a few breaths in panic, and his hand was suddenly stepped on.

The force of stepping down was very slow, but it was getting heavier and heavier. Yan Heng couldn't help gasping and screaming again.

Yang Enlu took the whip from his subordinates and sneered: "Eunuch Yan, let me accompany you first, I'm sorry."

In the study, Meng Junhuai was sullen for a while, then put aside his troubles and continued with the business.

From the point of being able to falsely preach the imperial decree, there is still some power behind this group of people, so he wants to be more cautious, so as not to cause unnecessary complications.

Half an hour ago, a message came from Yang Enlu, saying that he couldn't find out after asking, and he was sentenced.

Then this matter has to be covered up, and the person bestowed by the palace cannot die for nothing.

In fact, it would be easiest for Youshi to say that he is sick now, but today Youshi refused to die.He tried to persuade her patiently, wanting her to understand that it was important to the overall situation, but she just said: "Don't you think about the concubine first in everything? Go find the concubine!"

Regardless of the severity!

But with Youshi's temperament, she refused to agree, and he really couldn't arrange it directly in her name--it would be even worse if she broke the stage!
The more Meng Junhuai thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was thinking about it in anger, but it was hard to think of anything because of the anger.

In the end, he decided to let the matter go.He breathed a sigh of relief and walked outside, seeing a servant coming up to greet him, he casually ordered: "Go to the main courtyard."

When the voice fell, his feet froze: ... What are you doing in the main courtyard?
If you don't go, just go.That little nun's asceticism is the most calming.

In the mansion, where he is going, as long as he tells in advance, there will always be someone who will spread the word first.So when he entered the main courtyard, Xie Yuyin came out from the main room to greet him, walked up to him and lowered his eyes: "Your Highness."

"Princess." Meng Junhuai nodded, and when he looked down, he saw that her two hands folded in front of her were tightly clenched.

"What's wrong?" He stretched out his hand and felt it was cold.

"No..." Yu Yin asked him quietly, "Did you find out what His Highness wanted to ask?"

She hoped that he would ask, because this afternoon, she was too frightened.

It is said that Yang Enlu was interrogated in the back building, which is separated from the front house and back house, and her main courtyard is closest to the back house.

So the whole afternoon, there were endless screams. Although I couldn't hear them clearly, I couldn't pretend not to hear them.

Then she kept thinking that she came up with this idea, and she caused the current result.Reincarnation of karma is put here, she caused that father-in-law Yan so badly, it will be retribution on her...

However, she didn't expect the question to be asked in such a way.When she came up with this idea, she thought it was just asking people to come out and ask them clearly!

Xie Yuyin looked at Meng Junhuai, intending to try her best to reverse the situation, she thought about it and said: "Listen... this has been interrogated all afternoon, maybe the eunuch doesn't know anything, I was wrong .”

"It's only been an afternoon, so it's okay to ask again." Meng Junhuai said.He didn't think much about it, and walked inside while holding onto her hand.

"...Your Highness." Xie Yuyin held him back.

He stopped again, puzzled: "What?"

Under the fading sun, the not-so-clear sky made her complexion a little gloomy, but her watery eyes became brighter: "If, what if we are wrong..."

Panic appeared in her eyes, reminding him inexplicably of the frightened look of the deer in the forest: "If we are wrong, that eunuch..."

"I know the princess is kind." Meng Junhuai raised his eyebrows, a little impatient with her kindness.In addition, he was even more disturbed by Youshi's irrelevant matters.

After cutting off her words, he stared at her for a while, and then said again: "But I have to interrogate this person to the end. I have to know who is behind my back to trouble me, so as to avoid future worries."

He stared into her eyes and saw that her eyes trembled slightly, and then quickly dimmed.

——What a sense of kindness without measure!Thinking of this, he smiled contemptuously, then ignored her, turned around and walked towards the main room again.

"Your Highness." Yu Yin stopped him again.

She stopped in front of him, suppressed the panic in her heart, and took a deep breath: "I, I don't have to be kind, I'm just afraid, and I'm afraid that the karma will come to me."

Meng Junhuai couldn't bear to hear the weakness in her words, and he was too lazy to pay attention to her explanation, so he didn't say anything.

Then, she asked him: "It sounds like a big deal, does Your Highness want to do it alone?"
