Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The two of them were so scared that they didn't know what to do. They hurriedly wiped their tears away. It took a while for Eunuch Lin's flustered nerves to calm down.
When he reached the door, his voice lit up. "Who is it?"
There was no response from outside the door. He pressed his ear against it and listened carefully for any movement outside. However, there seemed to be no footsteps outside the door.
Pang Fei was worried, so she quietly walked to the bedside and peeked outside. The courtyard was silent. Not to mention the people, even the fallen leaves could not be seen.
She patted her chest and took a deep breath. She looked at Eunuch Lin and comforted him, "Were we too nervous? Did we hear wrong?"
Eunuch Lin had already lost control of his hands and feet. He patted his chest as he leaned against the door, trembling uncontrollably. He opened the door gently and peered outside. It turned out that there really was no one in the courtyard. He was still worried, so he rushed to the entrance of the yard and looked around. However, he did not see a single person running back.
Closing the door, he gasped for breath, revealing a forced smile on his face. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Yes …" We were too nervous, no... "No one!"
"It's good that no one is here, it's good that no one is!" Pingfei replied absentmindedly, thinking of other things as she mumbled to herself, "The empress has been too active these days, and so many corpses have been thrown into the well in the backyard. How did those people offend her?"
Hearing Princess Pingping's words, Eunuch Lin seemed to have thought of something, scratched his head and said, "This servant has also heard that many girls have gone missing for no reason these days. That day, the servant had heard from Imperial Concubine Mei that they were going to investigate. Afterwards, the little girl next to her persuaded her that the emperor hadn't woken up yet. The empress was the mother of a nation after all, and the crown prince was not in the palace either. If something happened, it would be difficult to resolve the matter. Only then did Imperial Concubine Mei stop. So these were all the empress's words. She … What exactly does she want to do? "
"I don't know. I keep having the feeling that things aren't that simple." Pingfei shook her head as she recalled the incident that happened that year. Grand Concubine Mei did it so that she wouldn't be blamed for a lot of things that had happened to the empress.
"The empress and Imperial Concubine Mei have been fighting for so many years without giving up, and the empress still wants to push Second Master to the position of Crown Prince." Eunuch Lin sighed. All these years, the Emperor had been grieving for this woman.
"Ai …" As long as the palace has those two women, it will not be at peace. " She heaved a long sigh. She felt that the Emperor was living a life of misery. He had his own mountains and rivers, but was unable to enjoy the warmth of home.
"Esteemed Empress, according to the history books, no empire can escape the grief of a palace battle. For the throne and for power, there is no struggle for life or death. At least in front of the emperor, the empress and Imperial Concubine Mei are still quite harmonious. " Eunuch Lin shook his head. He had often seen history books in the emperor's study. Sometimes, when the emperor was resting, he would peek. He knew the Emperor knew, but he didn't say anything.
"That's right!" Power! These two words could kill him. Sometimes, when he thought about it, he felt that he might not even be able to match up to ordinary commoners, and might even be able to find his own happiness. The Emperor's helplessness is also due to power and authority. " Pingfei had no choice but to agree with Eunuch Lin. He would become a beast if it was for someone powerful, so what couldn't he do?
Eunuch Lin looked at the time and paid his respects. "Empress, it's getting late. Please rest early. Your servant is relieved to see that you are fine."
"Serve the empress well, perhaps there will be a day when you can turn the tables." Even though she didn't see any hope, she still gave it to Eunuch Lin. If there was no him in the palace, she would really be alone.
Eunuch Lin nodded his head heavily and left the courtyard as soon as he opened the door. He didn't even have the courage to turn back.
After she left, Pingfei was left alone in the yard again. She closed the door slowly and sat on the bed, looking out at the empty yard.
Thinking of her was like a book that recorded her bitterness, bitterness, and even her happiness.
The aftertaste made her smile more.
With her left hand resting on her right hand, her heart felt empty, as if winter had already arrived. Her entire body's blood had turned cold.
Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!
A familiar knock on the door woke her from her reminiscence. Standing up, she shook her head. Could it be that Eunuch Lin had returned?
Dazzling her hair, she walked to the door and listened. There was no sound from outside. She looked through the crack in the door, but did not see Eunuch Lin.
Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!
The knocking continued, and the sound made her feel uneasy. Leaning against the door, she looked around, her ears pricked up, and finally understood where the voice had come from.
Her face was filled with ecstasy as she excitedly rushed to the bedside, threw the bedding on the bed to the ground, and opened the door of the secret passage.
He saw that the little thing that covered the tunnel finally breathed in the fresh air, as if the withering flower had given him a new life force.
"Dry..." "Mother!" Lifting his head, he climbed out of the tunnel with a small amount of effort. His butt was followed by a pile of dirty snowballs. One after the other, they climbed to the ground to catch their breath.
Seeing this, Pang Fei hurriedly closed the tunnel and carried the bedding onto the bed. Then, she carefully helped Xiaoxiao sit on the bed.
With tears in his eyes, he sized up the person he missed from a long time. He gently caressed her face and hugged her tightly.
"Mother, don't cry, this is just a small thing, just a small thing!" Don't cry, don't cry! " Little Ping couldn't stand to see tears, especially when it came to this bitter woman. She must have suffered a lot on her way out.
Leaving Pingfei's embrace, he smoothed her hair, wiped her tears, and gave her a sweet smile. He felt extremely warm in his heart.
"Don't cry, Mother won't cry!" Pingfei wiped her tears away and sized Xiaoxiao up with a smile as she sobbed.
"Mom, I missed you so much." It was good to have a mother when Xiaoxiao threw herself into his arms.
"You … Why are you back? " Pingfei was pleasantly surprised before looking at Xiaoxiao in deep curiosity. Could it be that she had already heard about Xuanyuan Zhi's matter?
A little sniffle to keep from crying. After calming herself down, she said, "Master San said that father is sick and that he is very ill. This little one doesn't want to regret it for the rest of his life."
When Pingfei heard that, she did not get angry, but laughed and praised, "Good, good, good! If a person was uninterested, then he would be no different from an animal. "The emperor is severely ill. Eunuch Lin has just arrived, and said that the emperor is less awake now. I'm afraid …"
As she spoke, she began to cry. Her heart ached for the Emperor, but because of her status, she could not visit him. In this terrifying Golden Bird Cage, she had no relationship with anyone, and there were no people around her who would talk to her. Every day she would look forward to Eunuch Lin's arrival and inform the emperor of his situation. In this situation, if it were anyone else, they might really go crazy.
Moreover, she had always been able to endure, even with great difficulty.
"Don't cry! Don't cry! I have only promised mother once, but will definitely think of a way to save my royal father and deal with that damned little girl Ran'er, so that the palace can be at peace and my mother can live a good life. " Xiaoxiao wiped off her tears and was about to say something else when she felt someone tugging at her pants. Lowering his head, he realized that he had forgotten about the little thing.
Wu Wu Wu!" "Wuu!" The little thing raised its head and mewled pitifully, its little claws constantly rubbing against its tiny pants as it bounced on the ground.
"This... "This is …" Pingfei was clearly a bit scared. When she saw the asymmetrical look in Snowball's eyes, she felt even more scared.
Upon seeing this, he bent down and took the snow ball into his arms. He wiped its dirty face, pursed his lips and scolded with an unhappy look, "This is a mother, why are you so rude? "Be good, otherwise I won't give you anything to eat."
Woo woo!" "Woo woo!" Snow Ball could hear the dissatisfaction in her master's voice. She began to climb up on top of Princess Pang from her little body. Feeling the fear of Madam Pingping, it tried its best to squeeze out the brightest smile, licked the corner of its mouth, and licked the back of her hand to show its meekness.
Pingfei was still scared, but when she saw Little Treasure's smile, she tried her best to touch the little head that Snowball was holding.
"Mother, don't be afraid! It's called Snowball, which I picked up on the mountain. It knows human nature very well. I do not regret telling Master that this little thing is very intelligent, and is a treasure rarely seen in a hundred years. " Little Jun happily patted Snowball's head, wondering if this little thing could be considered a gift from the heavens.
But, the jade pendant was gone, and he didn't know what to say.
"Master?" Pingfei's eyes lit up. It seemed like Xiaoxiao had never mentioned this person before.
Looking at Snowball, he was already lazily lying in the embrace of the princess. He was using his head to prop up the princess' face, making her smile itch as he quickly let go of his guard against the snowball.
"Ugh …" He was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was all a matter that had happened after he had left the palace. Of course, Pingfei didn't know about it. Laughing mischievously, she intimately shook Princess Pingping's arm and said, "Mother, the little master is no other than the genius doctor Tian Jiu that you spoke of. He was so kind and he was also so nice. He even made Xiaoxiao have two handsome and good senior brothers. Senior Brother is in so much pain, if it weren't for them, I might not have been able to return to the palace even now. "
"You took Tian Jiu as your master? Good! "Alright!" Pingfei had already heard from her elder sister that Tian Jiu was a Ghost Doctor with exceptional medical skills. When she thought of this, she curiously asked, "Did Master teach you any skills?"
"Yes, yes! Master taught me martial arts and also taught me many methods to poison and detoxify poisons. I don't need to be afraid of those two damnable women anymore. " Xiaoxiao looked at Pingfei excitedly and even gestured with her hand.
As she gestured, her mind was filled with what her master had taught her, and it was enough to make a harem fly in the air. Those undone conflicts, those vicious women who had repeatedly abused her, this time, they would definitely return all of them with everything they had, letting them have a taste of living a life worse than death.
Pingfei could only feel a hint of innocence in a place like this when she saw his innocent smile. Trying not to be afraid, she gently stroked Snowball's smooth fur.
"Mom, are these from the primary school okay? I am no longer afraid of dealing with ordinary people. " Xiaoxiao patted her chest and felt a sense of pride. Reaching out, she held Snowball in her arms.
"Woo woo!" The little thing rolled merrily in her hand, its round body looking extremely adorable.
Seeing how happily Snowball was playing, she used her tiny hands to pry open the little thing's mouth, revealing a few sharp teeth. It looked like she had no chest and looked very cute.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The two of them were so scared that they didn't know what to do. They hurriedly wiped their tears away. It took a while for Eunuch Lin's flustered nerves to calm down.
When he reached the door, his voice lit up. "Who is it?"
