Chapter 140 Hindsight

Chapter 140 Hindsight

The siblings were together for less than half an hour before they had to part ways in a hurry.

Yu'er is the only maid in Jingyang Palace. Even if Princess Ankang's health is much better now, she cannot leave her for too long.

Deng Weixian also understood this.

Although he took a day off, he planned to go back.

Generally speaking, the eunuchs and maids in the palace work continuously for 365 days a year without any rest days.

Some masters are more generous and give their servants time to rest in turns.

But most people are serving their master from the moment they open their eyes to the moment they close their eyes.

Wang Suyue was also generous. Deng Weixian suddenly asked for leave today, so she approved it all day long.

Because there are five of them serving Wang Suyue and one master, and the other courtyard is not very big, the daily work is not as much as before.

When I used to do odd jobs in Yanqu Hall, there was endless work to do from morning to night.

Therefore, the eunuchs and maids in Yanqu Palace dreamed of being selected as servants and having a master.

In this way, not only will work become easier, but you will also get some rewards occasionally, and your life will be more nourishing.

But not everyone is so lucky.

Most of the eunuchs and maids will work their whole lives doing menial jobs until they can no longer do it and are sent out of the palace to fend for themselves.

You can't save much money by doing odd jobs, and after leaving the palace, you'll just be in despair and waiting to die.

The smart ones will be chosen from the beginning, and the older ones will not be picked at all.

Everyone wants to find a young person who can slowly develop loyalty and become their die-hard loyalist.

It’s not that the old have no chance at all. Some people will suddenly enlighten and seize the opportunity to escape from the fate of doing chores in this life.

And those who are unable to enlighten themselves until the end will naturally have no choice but to accept their fate.

Just watching the tragic ending approaching them step by step, how many people can accept it calmly.

This process is enough to distort any normal person and turn them into monsters.

Deng Weixian was lucky.

Under the arrangement of his godfather, he had almost just finished the training at the Imperial Guard Academy. After arriving at Yanqu Hall, he got the opportunity to become Wang Suyue's personal attendant.

Such an opportunity to quickly escape from the bottom makes almost everyone else jealous.

Deng Weixian didn't understand at first.

It wasn't until later that I kept seeing those malicious glances without any reason that I gradually understood.

"Sister, I will come see you next time when I have time, and then I will continue to throw notes to you like today."

Deng Weixian showed a shallow smile, like many shy boys of this age.

Yu'er looked at her brother with a smile and nodded happily: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Be careful when serving your master and don't make anyone unhappy."

"It is more important to pay attention to the master's emotions than to do good things."

"You must remember not to hit anyone with a smiling face, and to be as kind as possible to everyone."

Yu'er couldn't help but follow the temptation and said a few words.

Her younger brother is now very dull, and she wants to give all her experience to Deng Weixian.

Deng Weixian didn't show any sign of boredom. He smiled and said, "I remember, sister."

"It's getting late, you should go back early."

Yu'er stood up reluctantly and walked to the alleyway with Deng Weixian.

"You should also go back early. If you have anything to do, come and discuss it with your sister."

Yu'er hugged Deng Weixian gently, and then said goodbye: "I'm going back first, please be careful on the way."

Deng Weixian didn't speak, just nodded.

He stood there, watching Yu'er's leaving figure, and did not look back for a long time.

It wasn't until Yu'er's back disappeared around the corner that Deng Weixian took a deep breath and turned towards the direction of Yanqu Hall.

"Why do you feel that little Dengzi is worried?"

Li Xuan didn't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he felt that Deng Weixian's steps were a little heavy today.

"Let's ask later."

Li Xuan first followed Yu'er secretly, and only left with confidence after seeing that she returned to Jingyang Palace safely.

Then he came to the Royal Garden and found that Cow and Fat Orange were sleeping soundly here.

Seeing that they were sleeping so soundly, Li Xuan couldn't bear to wake them up and went directly to Wang Suyue's courtyard in Yanqu Palace.

I found that the cat bully was carefully watching here.

"Meow? (Is there something wrong?)"

When Mao Ba heard Li Xuan's voice, he turned to look at him and shook his head slightly.

But he hesitated again and meowed.

"Meow. (Throwing stones in the morning.)"

Li Xuan couldn't help but tilted his head, not quite understanding what Mao Ba meant.

But then Mao Ba shook his head and gestured towards Deng Weixian's yard.

"Meow? (You mean someone threw stones into Deng Weixian's yard this morning?)"

Mao Ba nodded immediately, indicating that this was what he meant.

Li Xuan's heart suddenly moved and he thought of something.

"Isn't this how Deng Weixian sent a message to Yu'er before?"

"It seems that he is also a learned person."

"Is this the reason why he suddenly came to Yu'er today?"

Li Xuan exchanged a few more words with Cat Bully and learned about the details of what it saw.

It turned out that before dawn this morning, Mao Ba saw Deng Weixian throwing a stone into his yard.

The entire courtyard was quiet at that time, so the sound was extremely harsh to the cat bully.

And this also successfully awakened Deng Weixian.

Deng Wei first heard the movement in his yard, and not long after, he put on a piece of clothing and came out to check.

Mao Ba saw Deng Weixian pick up the stone on the ground and go back to his room.

Hearing this answer, Li Xuan was more certain of his guess.

"It seems that little Dengzi is really in trouble."

"Is it his godfather?"

Apart from Deng Weixian's godfather, Li Xuan really couldn't think of anyone else in the palace who would go to such great lengths to contact Deng Weixian.

But Deng Weixian's godfather used to come to him at night, and it was really strange that he suddenly sent someone to throw stones this time.

With strong curiosity, Li Xuan and Mao Ba watched Deng Weixian here.

After he came back, he just reported to Wang Suyue and went back to work.

It was not until night fell and Li Xuan was replaced by a cow that Deng Weixian's godfather came.

At this time, Deng Weixian had been waiting for a long time.

"My son has met his godfather."

Deng Weixian's godfather didn't say anything. He sat down on the stone bench and said, "It seems that you have seen the letter I sent."

"Yes, godfather."

Deng Weixian lowered his head deeply, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

Deng Weixian's godfather didn't say anything more. He directly took out a palm-sized silk cloth from his sleeve with a line of small words on it.

Li Xuan was too far away to see the words on it. He waited to check it carefully, and then he heard it.

"Put this thing away and find a chance to do what I told you to do."

Deng Weixian put the silk cloth away obediently without asking any more questions.

"I think you know very well that it cannot be discovered by anyone."

"Otherwise, even I can't protect you."

"So, you must be cautious."

Deng Weixian's godfather solemnly instructed.

"My son understands!"

Deng Weixian's godfather patted his shoulder heavily and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's start practicing."

Then Deng Weixian practiced the copper head and iron arm technique as before. After his qi and blood were exhausted, he received massage and whipping.

After accompanying him to do all this, Deng Weixian's godfather looked at him and finally solemnly told him:

"Be careful."

Then he left and disappeared.

Deng Weixian sat on the stone bench for a long time without moving, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Xuan, who was secretly spying, couldn't help but frown.

"Why does it seem like Deng Weixian is going to do something very dangerous?"

"Is his godfather going to give up on him?"

No matter how Li Xuan thought about it, he felt confused.

Deng Weixian's godfather hadn't come for a long time recently. I don't know what he was busy with secretly.

As a result, he reappeared a few days later and actually assigned a task to Deng Weixian.

And judging from their atmosphere, why is there a sense of going without return?

"What is that silk cloth?"

"I see there are words on it!"

Li Xuan's heart was like being scratched by a cat, and he was so itchy.

"I have to watch him tomorrow, don't let anything happen to him."

After this, Li Xuan realized that Deng Weixian came to say goodbye to Yu'er today.

I'm afraid he was also afraid that he would never come back, so he found an excuse to see Yu'er for the last time.

"No wonder he looked upset today."

Speaking of which, Deng Weixian was not easy.

He only had himself, and there was no one to discuss with if something happened.

Even the godfather was more for mutual use.

After all, this was the tone at the beginning.

Even if they developed feelings later, Deng Weixian also showed more potential.

But when he was needed, Deng Weixian could only continue to prove his value.

Otherwise, why would his godfather continue to invest resources?

Even if Deng Weixian was a genius, what was the use if he couldn't use him for himself.

Although he didn't know the content of Deng Weixian's mission, Li Xuan could see that he had encountered a difficult test.

And the bitter fruit of failure seemed to be something he couldn't bear.

Li Xuan shook his head and took the yawning cow back.

"Let's go to bed early and get up early."

The cow was happy to see that she could finish work so early today, and followed her happily.

Since there was a big operation tomorrow, it didn't make much sense to let the cow continue to guard here.

And this guy was dozing off in front of him, and God knows how he used to keep watch.

"As the saying goes, I was born with talent and must be useful."

"Could the cow be the exception?"

Li Xuan sighed and looked back, and he happened to meet the clear eyes of the cow, and he couldn't bear to complain anymore.

"Forget it, you'd better live well."

Li Xuan said in his heart.

The cow tilted its head, not understanding why Li Xuan didn't leave, staring at him with a look of wanting to meow but not wanting to.

...

The next day.

At dawn, Li Xuan had already waited in front of Deng Weixian's door.

He walked out of the room with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his expression today was particularly cold and resolute.

After breakfast, Wang Suyue's courtyard began to get busy.

Today, they seemed to have some activities.

Five palace maids and eunuchs, including Deng Weixian, were busy and prepared for a long time. Wang Suyue took Deng Weixian and Liang Chuchu out of the courtyard and went to an unknown place.

Deng Weixian and Liang Chuchu, who followed behind, were holding carefully prepared gifts in their hands. It seemed that Wang Suyue was going to visit.

And it was a very important guest.

Li Xuan followed them leisurely, all the way out of Yanqu Hall and towards Caiyun Palace.

"Who are they looking for?"
