Chapter 17

Xiao Chen sighed.

"If I say that I can guarantee the life of the big guy, I am fooling people. Now I can't even guarantee my own life."

"But the queen sent me this errand, and I have to do it, but I'm sorry that it might hurt a few people."

"The only thing I can guarantee is that I will do my best to keep the big guy's head, but the end result is also unpredictable."

As he spoke, he got up and took out the gold given by the Queen Mother from the cabinet and put it on the table, "Here is one hundred taels of gold, and I only have this little property. Everyone will share twenty taels of gold, which can be regarded as settling expenses."

"Eunuch Xiao, you are really a straightforward person!" Wei Yuntian jumped up, "Based on your words, brother, I will give you my life!"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, Eunuch Xiao. Presumably we adults also know that this is what we are going to do, so we chose us two unlucky bastards..."

"Yuntian has offended him more than once. I once helped Yuntian to say a few words of justice, which made me hate him too. Hehe, I'm afraid he will plot to kill him sooner or later. Instead of this, it's better to give it a go."

Zhuge Xiaosheng smiled faintly, got up and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen, and said in a deep voice, "If you survive this time by luck, I will follow Brother Xiao from now on."

"Me too!" Wei Yuntian said loudly, "Brother Xiao, you can do things with ease, there is no intrigue, only good wine, good meat, and golden gold, you can do it well!"

"I also see that little Eunuch Xiao is a person who has done great things, and he will be able to follow you in the future." Wen Shanchang also expressed his opinion.

Xiao Lizi and Xiao Fengzi knelt directly on the ground, without saying a word, just kowtowed.

On the contrary, Zhao Gongming touched his bare chin and smiled, obviously very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

For the first time, he felt that maybe he made the right choice.

After all, from this matter, he saw that Xiao Chen was born with the temperament of being the boss.

In the final analysis, he really is the son of a decent emperor.

"Okay, since that's the case, from now on, we brothers will share weal and woe!" Xiao Chen was also very happy, and raised his glass to drink with them.

Look at the two ends kneeling on the ground as if there is nothing.

"Hehe, what are you two brats doing just kowtowing? You don't have anything to say?" Zhao Gongming wiped his mouth and looked at the two smiling.

"Eunuch Xiao, please spare me!" Little Lizi bled from his forehead.

Because he is a smart man, he already feels that he is in trouble!

Xiao Chen deliberately let them hear this secret, maybe he just wanted to use this matter to get rid of them. The few people present here don't know whether they will die or not, but the two of them, no matter what, will surely die!

"Eunuch Xiao, we were all sent by Zhang Zifang to monitor your every move, and we have to report your whereabouts to him every day, with every detail!"

Xiao Fengzi was also smart enough to know that it was time to tell the truth.

If you betray Zhang Zifang, the end will be miserable, but if you don't tell the truth now, you will definitely lose your life.

The lesser of two evils.

"We will do whatever your Eunuch Xiao asks us to do, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Eunuch Xiao, you are kind-hearted and talented. You are a clear stream in the world of eunuchs, and you are also our idol. We often say that if you can become like Eunuch Xiao in this life, you will not be a eunuch in vain."

"In short, from now on, the two of us will be your Eunuch Xiao's people in life, and you will be your Eunuch Xiao's ghost in death!"

"Let that old bastard Zhang Zifang go to hell!"

"If you dare to say anything false, let us still be eunuchs in the next life. Isn't this oath right for you?"

"If you don't believe us, I'll die in front of you."

Xiao Chen was quite satisfied with the attitude of the two of them: "Is what you said true?"

The two said that if there was half a lie, there would be a thunderbolt.

"There is no evidence for what you say."

Zhuge Xiaosheng has always been witty, and at this moment he resolutely sided with Xiao Chen's faction, with a faint smile, "If you two are sincere, then make a letter."

That is the meaning of the handle.

Stand up!

The main thing is that it doesn't work if you don't stand up.

So he got up and found a pen and paper, scribbled down what he said just now, and finally signed the signature, bit his finger hard, and pressed the bloody handprint on his name.

It is for the vote.

Since then, everyone has been ants on the same rope.

I don't know how many days I can jump around?

In the Cuihua Palace, more than a dozen court ladies and seven or eight eunuchs knelt down in trepidation with mournful faces. Although they didn't know what happened, they all realized that something was wrong.

Both the inside and outside of the palace gate were sealed off by the Imperial Forest Army, which seemed to be the rhythm of ransacking the house.

Master, master, what disaster have you caused?

The servants were frightened to death, but the master Zhang Yaoer showed no fear, his almond eyes were wide open, full of anger, he looked at Xiao Chen and others with a very dissatisfied expression.

"Where's Poison Wine Bai Ling?" The words were also quite intense.

"Palace Master Zhang's words are too small to understand. The small ones are just here to ask the Palace Master a few words at the Queen's order." Xiao Chen didn't expect this Zhang Ye to be so strong-tempered, and he felt a little bit towards her in his heart. admire.

"Just interrogate, it sounds so nice!" Seeing Xiao Chen being so polite, Zhang Yao'er's tone softened a bit.

"Don't dare." Xiao Chen just came to investigate, but he didn't come to add insult to injury.

He ordered Zhuge Xiaosheng to take all these court ladies and eunuchs out for questioning, and search them carefully by the way. He didn't need to say these things, Xiaosheng knew what to do.

"Palace Master, you and I have no grievances or enmities, and you should also know about the empress's personality, so it's best to speak up if you have anything to say, so there may be a little room for things to change."

What Xiao Chen said was extremely sincere.

"Even I don't know!" Zhang Yao'er pouted.

"Palace Master, if you have this attitude, then the little one will be in trouble." Xiao Chen frowned, this is to resist to the end and be strict!

"Oh, I know you think I'm lying to you, but I really don't know how I got pregnant! I've never had anything to do with men...nor the emperor!" Zhang Yao'er blushed anxiously up.

"Anyway, I can't explain it clearly, and you won't believe me if I tell you, so why not just die!"

He took out a dagger from his pocket and aimed it at his chest.

"Little Eunuch Xiao, I think you are a nice person. When I die, you can help me tell my father that I have not had an affair with any wild man! He will definitely believe me. Only my father believes in me in this world." gone."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, gripped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and stabbed fiercely towards his heart.

"Palace Master, you can't do it!" Xiao Chen was startled, and quickly flew over to snatch her knife.

"They all looked at me and wouldn't let me die, and you wouldn't let me die either, woo woo woo..." Zhang Yao'er pursed her mouth and began to cry aggrievedly.

"If you die, you have to die to understand." Xiao Chen put away the knife, staring deeply at the pear blossoms and rain on Zhang Yao'er's face.

A trace of pity suddenly rose in my heart.

Seeing that she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she is just a junior high school student next door in modern times.

Here, he was trapped in a deep palace full of dangers, and encountered such a terrible thing.

Xiao Chen decided to help her, not for anything else, just because of her young age.
