Recently, the Queen Mother has been in a bad mood, and everyone in the palace is trembling with fear, fearing that she will offend the Queen Mother by accident.
The Queen Mother was leaning on the soft couch to rest. There was a lot of noise outside. She frowned, "What's going on?"
The old eunuch waiting nearby heard the movement and came in immediately, "Mother."
The Queen Mother slowly stood up. She had not slept well recently and was feeling a little depressed. "What are the arguments going on outside?"
The old eunuch hurriedly went up to help her, "I've disturbed the queen. They are two blind little eunuchs. They were quarreling over a veil. The old slave has already dealt with them."
"What kind of veil? There's actually a quarrel here. Let me take a look."
The old eunuch's eyes were slightly uncomfortable, "It's better not to dirty your eyes with filthy things."
The Queen Mother did not speak and took a sip of hot tea. "I have nothing to do anyway. Let's take a look."
"yes."
Soon, the two young eunuchs were brought over. They were both bruised and swollen, but this did not prevent the Queen Mother from seeing clearly that the two young eunuchs were actually pretty and handsome.
"Tell me what's going on."
The two young eunuchs looked at the steward next to the Queen Mother and explained the matter clearly. It turned out that it was about a veil. They both said it was theirs, so they started arguing and even started fighting.
"A square veil, is it worth this to you? What a short-sighted thing."
The young eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to speak. The queen mother said again, "Bring it to the Ai family to see what kind of veil made you two fight like this."
One of the little eunuchs took it out from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it over. The old eunuch took it quickly and brought it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother picked it up with two fingers and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary veil? There's nothing special about it."
There is nothing, just an embroidery with a lotus picture and text, which is also worth it... Wait, the Queen Mother brought the veil to her eyes and looked at it carefully. From a distance, the picture looked like a lotus, but up close it was different. . Others might not think much of it, but the Queen Mother was different because she was so familiar with that pattern that she would always think of it when she dreamed about it at midnight. Her son, who was taken away as soon as he was born, had such a birthmark on his lower back.
The Queen Mother touched the pattern on it with wet eyes, and everyone in the palace was a little confused.
"Your Majesty?" the old eunuch called hesitantly.
The Queen Mother immediately regained her composure, "Whose is this veil? Tell the Ai family clearly, and who embroidered the embroidery on this veil."
In the end, the two people fought for it, and in the end they didn't figure out who the veil belonged to.
The Queen Mother sent everyone out, "Come here."
A man in black appeared in the bedroom. This man was the secret guard assigned to her by her mother's family. Originally there were many such people, but the emperor and that man had transferred many of them away overtly and covertly, and now there was only this one left, who was also her confidant.
The Queen Mother gave him the veil in her hand and said, "Check it out for me. Whose is this veil? Whose is the embroidery on it? Why is there such a pattern embroidered on it? Check it carefully for the Aijia, the better. The more detailed, the better.”
"yes."
The man in black investigated quickly and sent the news back in the evening.
However, the Queen Mother collapsed when she found out the whole story.
This veil belongs to an old eunuch in the palace. He has many such veils. He also gave it to many people, all of whom were young eunuchs who had had relationships with him. This old eunuch once had some influence in the palace. Even now, several of the eunuchs in charge of various palaces in the palace are his godsons. Therefore, even if he retires now and is raised in the palace, he still lives a happy life.
The pattern on this veil is the birthmark of a little eunuch he once particularly loved. I guess I really liked it so much that I embroidered the birthmark into a handkerchief and wore it all day long. Later, it became a habit, and he kept using this picture and text veil. He would even give this veil to a young eunuch who was close to him as a status symbol.
People like them who are physically disabled have some dark hearts, especially old eunuchs who have lived for many years, they are particularly perverted.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale and her lips trembled, "What about...the little eunuch with that birthmark?"
"died."
"died?"
"Yes, he died more than ten years ago." The man in black hesitated, not sure whether he should say that the reason why this little eunuch died was because of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother naturally saw his hesitation and said, "Say, what else?"
The man in black lowered his head a little more, "That little eunuch once served the Queen Mother, but later he broke his leg because he broke your favorite vase. At that time, because the injury was serious, there was no imperial doctor to take care of him. Healing, so I left without getting through it.”
"Bah," something seemed to explode in the Queen Mother's head. Was it because of her?
After a long time, the Queen Mother stood up tremblingly, with an unclear look on her face, "Tell the Aijia about the life of this little eunuch. From birth to... tell the Aijia in detail."
The man in black paused, "This little eunuch was not found out more than ten years ago. My subordinates only found out about his life in the palace."
"Speak." No emotion could be heard in the Queen Mother's tone.
However, the man in black still knew the Queen Mother well. At this moment, his heart was high, fearing that he might say something wrong.
The man in black told the Queen Mother all the information he found, without hiding anything. The young eunuch entered the palace and was assigned to the Queen Mother's chamber. Later, he was valued by several old eunuchs and became their plaything. In order to survive, the little eunuch could only endure such inhuman torture. Later, he made a mistake and had his leg broken. The old eunuchs also abandoned him. When he got to the back, even the food delivery person was gone. In the end, no one knew whether he died of serious injuries or died of starvation. Finally, the people were thrown into mass graves.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother spit out a mouthful of blood.
The man in black was shocked and could not care about the difference between superiority and inferiority. He immediately helped the queen mother to sit on the soft couch, "Master, I will call the imperial doctor right away."
Just as she was about to leave, she was grabbed by the Queen Mother. Her eyes were fierce, as if she had incomparable hatred, "You are not allowed to go, the Ai family will not die."
Although the men in black hesitated, their job was to listen to the Queen Mother's arrangements, so they naturally would not refute.
"Do you know who sent this little eunuch to the palace? And who sent him to the Ai family's palace." The queen mother actually had the answer in her heart, but she just wanted to hear it told to her personally.
"My subordinates have not found out who sent him to the palace, because he was not in the records of that year. As for who sent him to the Queen Mother's palace... I have some guesses."
"explain."
"My subordinates found out that after the little eunuch died, the late emperor visited him and even stayed in the house for a while."
