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 do menial jobs throughout their lives 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 you will just be left in despair and waiting to die after leaving the palace.
The smart ones will be picked 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 odd jobs all their lives.
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, don't hit the smiling person, and 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 can't wait 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 annex 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 the cat bully 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 with his own eyes that Deng Wei first picked up the stones on the ground and returned to his room.
Hearing such an answer, Li Xuan was even more convinced of his guess.
"It seems that something is really wrong with Xiao Dengzi."
"Is he 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.
It can be said that Deng Weixian's former godfather always came to him at night, so this time he suddenly sent someone to throw stones, which was really strange.
With strong curiosity, Li Xuan and Mao Ba gathered here to watch Deng Weixian.
After he came back, he just reported to Wang Suyue and went back to work.
It wasn't until night fell and Li Xuan's side was replaced by cows that Deng Weixian's godfather suddenly arrived.
At this time, Deng Weixian had been waiting for him for a long time.
"The child has met his godfather."
Deng Weixian's godfather didn't talk nonsense. After sitting down on the stone bench, he said: "It seems that you have seen the letter I sent."
"Yes, godfather."
Deng Weixian lowered his head deeply, making his expression unclear.
Deng Weixian's godfather didn't hesitate and took out a palm-sized piece of silk from his sleeve with a line of small words on it.
Li Xuan was too far away to see the words clearly. He waited for a closer look and heard it.
"Put this thing away and find an opportunity to complete the things I asked you to do."
Deng Weixian obediently put away the silk cloth without even asking a question.
"I think you also know very well that you can't be noticed by anyone."
"Otherwise, even I can't protect you."
"So, be careful."
Deng Weixian's godfather solemnly told him.
"I understand, kid!"
Deng Weixian's godfather patted him heavily on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's start practicing."
Then Deng Weixian practiced the bronze head and iron arm technique as before. After the energy and blood were exhausted, he received massage and whipping.
After accompanying him to do this, Deng Weixian's godfather looked at him and finally solemnly told him:
"Proceed with caution."
Then he drifted away without a trace.
Deng Weixian sat on the stone bench without moving for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Xuan, who was spying secretly, couldn't help but frown.
"What do you think this means? Do you want Deng Wei to do something dangerous first?"
"Is his godfather planning to give up on him?"
No matter how he thought about it, Li Xuan felt that he had no clue.
Deng Weixian's godfather hasn't been here for a few days, so he doesn't know what he is busy with secretly.
A few days after the reappearance, a task was assigned to Deng Weixian.
And judging from their atmosphere, they still seem to be going without a return.
"What on earth is silk cloth?"
"I see there are words on it!"
Li Xuan's heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat, which made him feel itchy and unbearable.
"I have to come and keep an eye on him tomorrow to make sure nothing happens."
Only then did Li Xuan realize that Deng Weixian came to see Yu'er to say goodbye today.
I'm afraid he was also afraid that he would never come back, so he found an excuse to take a last look at Yu'er.
"No wonder he seems to be in a bad mood today."
Speaking of which, it was not easy for Deng to be the first.
He only has himself, and there is no one he can discuss with when something happens.
Even the godfather is more about taking advantage of each other.
After all, that was the tone from the beginning.
Even if they ended their relationship later, Deng Weixian showed more potential.
But when he is needed, Deng Weixian can only continue to prove his worth.
Otherwise, why would his godfather continue to invest resources?
Even if Deng was a genius first and foremost, what's the use if he can't use it for himself.
Although he didn't know the content of Deng Weixian's mission, Li Xuan could tell that he had encountered a difficult test.
And the bitter consequences of failure seemed to be something he couldn't bear.
Li Xuan shook his head and went back with the yawning cow.
"It's better to go to bed early and get up early."
Seeing that the work could be finished so early today, the cow was naturally happy and followed him in a hurry.
Since there is a big operation tomorrow, it doesn't make much sense to keep the cows here.
Moreover, this guy was dozing off right in front of him. Who knows how he used to keep a close eye on him.
"As the saying goes, I am born to be useful."
"Could it be that cows are the exception?"
Li Xuan sighed and looked back, only to meet the clear eyes of the cow, and he couldn't bear to complain any more.
"Forget it, you'd better live well."
Li Xuan secretly thought in his heart.
The cow tilted its head, wondering why Li Xuan didn't leave, staring at itself with a look of wanting to meow but stopping.
…
the next day.
Genius Mengmengliang, Li Xuan had already been waiting in front of Deng Weixian's room.
He walked out of the room with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his expression today was particularly cold and determined.
After breakfast, Wang Suyue's courtyard began to get busy.
They seem to have some activity today.
Five palace maids and eunuchs, including Deng Weixian, were busy preparing. After preparing for a long time, Wang Suyue took Deng Weixian and Liang Chuchu out of the other courtyard and went somewhere unknown.
Deng Weixian and Liang Chuchu who were following behind were carrying carefully prepared gifts. It seemed that Wang Suyue was going to visit.
And he is still 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?"
