It’s still the small house in Qingyufang.
The broken oil lamp on the table was replaced by a butter horn lamp, and there were three dishes and one soup, accompanied by polished rice.
There is also a pot of fragrant tea and a hand stove.
The bedding on the bed has also been replaced. Although it is not brand new, it is still 90% new.
Eunuch Zhang smiled and said to Xue Hengzhao: "Miss Xue, you are wronged here. But since it is already late today and it is inconvenient to move, you can just stay here for the night and go back at dawn tomorrow, but Make it happen?"
"Eunuch Zhang, you are too polite to me. Now that this place is sealed off, you really shouldn't be walking around." Xue Hengzhao said, "I'm really sorry that I bothered you to come over in person."
“Ms. It’s time to go to the west.”
"My father-in-law is joking. It's obviously you who saved me." Xue Hengzhao said to Eunuch Zhang, "If you hadn't come in time, I would have been the unlucky one."
"Well, no matter what, we can consider it a perfect match. It's just that there's something I can't figure out, so I'd like to ask the girl to clarify it." Eunuch Zhang was very satisfied with Xue Hengzhao's attitude.
Xue Hengzhao is a smart man, and so is Eunuch Zhang.
When smart people deal with smart people, they never have to speak too clearly, and they know each other well.
"My father-in-law, just ask. Hengzhao will tell you everything he knows." Xue Hengzhao agreed happily.
In this matter, she and Eunuch Zhang were saving each other and themselves.
The emperor was angry with the eunuchs who served nearby. Eunuch Zhang and others were punished for no reason, and they lived in fear every day.
The optimal solution is to introduce a culprit at this time, so that the emperor's anger has a place to vent, and there is someone who takes the blame for the failure of the immortality pill.
This way, the eunuchs would not have to be scapegoats.
And even if something went wrong in the future, the emperor would be less suspicious of the eunuchs because of this incident.
And Xue Hengzhao was trapped in Qingyunfang and was in danger.
Begging for mercy and begging for mercy is of no use and may even be counterproductive.
He Guiren was sure that Xue Hengzhao, the monkey, could not escape from his Wuzhi Mountain, so Xue Hengzhao could only ask the Tathagata God's Palm to split the mountain in order to escape.
She had accidentally heard about what happened at Yangze Palace before. Although she didn't know that Eunuch Zhang had also been punished, she concluded that he must also be as silent as a cicada.
"You haven't been here long, how do you know that Mr. He is practicing witchcraft? If you are not a close confidant, there is absolutely no way you would know about such secrets."
The note that Xue Hengzhao gave to Eunuch Zhang said that He Guiren had poisoned him.
Of course Eunuch Zhang knew that such a thing was taboo, and he immediately understood that this was a rare opportunity.
But the premise is that what Xue Hengzhao said is true.
If this is true, the people in Yangze Palace will at least be temporarily exempted from trouble, and everyone will be grateful to Eunuch Zhang.
The emperor will also reward him and will rely on him more.
But if it is false, Eunuch Zhang will not only offend Mr. He, but he will also be punished.
It ranges from being reprimanded to being expelled from Yangze Palace.
But Eunuch Zhang quickly weighed it in his heart. Even if it was fake, he would only be able to offend He Guiren.
Her father was only a fifth-rank official, and her brother's talents were average.
Moreover, even if the emperor punished himself for a moment, looking back and remembering that he did something wrong because of his loyalty, he would not be unable to forgive him.
What's more, Xue Hengzhao is an extraordinary person, and Eunuch Zhang has seen her methods before.
After thinking clearly about these things, Eunuch Zhang immediately entered the palace and reported to the emperor.
He said that he had received a secret report that someone was practicing witchcraft in Qingyunfang.
Asked the emperor if he would send anyone to search, because he was not sure whether it was true.
This matter is difficult for others, but it is nothing to the emperor.
What's more, the palace has always been most afraid of witchcraft and would rather blame it than let it go.
So the emperor ordered Eunuch Zhang to lead people to search.
In addition, what happened this time was quite different from the last time. If you made a mistake, you would be punished, so Eunuch Zhang did not involve Shang Qiyan.
"I don't blame my father-in-law for finding it strange. In fact, it's a coincidence." Xue Hengzhao slowly explained, "The first time I met He Guiren, I noticed the string of red coral beads on her hand.
One of the beads in the string is smaller and darker than the others. Because I was so close, I could see that it was not actually a coral bead. "
"What's it if it's not a coral bead?" Eunuch Zhang asked, "Maybe the bracelet was scattered and couldn't be put together, so I used another bead to replace it."
"I think even if most people can tell that the bead is not a coral bead, they won't think otherwise." Xue Hengzhao said, "But I have been lucky enough to see it elsewhere. The bead is actually a giant centipede that Miao cultivators picked from. The red pill taken out from the abdomen.
It is specially used for poisoning and is very rare. But it cannot be used alone, just like medicine. When she puts this on her hand, there must be something else. "
"Oh, that's it." Eunuch Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Xue, for being well-informed. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have been kept in the dark all the time.
Then why does He Guiren make things difficult for you? I don't think you would deliberately offend her. "
"I was just vaguely aware that someone was saying bad things about me in front of her, so I made preparations in advance." Xue Hengzhao said, "You can't have the intention to harm others, but you can't have the intention to guard against others."
"This makes sense." Eunuch Zhang praised it very much. "The Holy Father has left all the matters here to me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can do it, I will try my best."
Of course Eunuch Zhang wanted to remember Xue Hengzhao's favor this time, so he did not hesitate to open the door for her convenience.
Xue Hengzhao couldn't help but smile, this Eunuch Zhang was really a man of crystal heart and glass.
So she was not polite and said straight to the point: "I know that although I leave this matter to my father-in-law, my father-in-law must also refer to the palace regulations.
If it is convenient, there is a palace maid named Qiuli here who can be tolerant to her.
The other one is called Lvzao and the other is named Citron. They are He's confidants and should not be taken lightly. "
Eunuch Zhang understood and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xue, I can still handle this matter."
Then he said: "Look at me, I can't stop talking to you. You should eat quickly! If you don't eat, you will be cold."
I'll send two girls back to keep you company, and I'll send you back tomorrow morning. "
"Thank you, father-in-law, you are so thoughtful." Xue Hengzhao smiled and thanked him.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Please ask the girl to mention me more in the future. I'm very grateful. If the girl has any difficulties, just speak up. I will never just sit idly by." Eunuch Zhang is now very polite to Xue Hengzhao. add.
"My father-in-law said so, Hengzhao really can't afford it." Xue Hengzhao said humbly.
"People didn't know Lingyun Wood at that time, and they waited until Lingyun became a master." Eunuch Zhang read these two lines of poetry with a smile, "Miss Xue, you will not stay under others for a long time. If you don't take advantage of it now, I will want to curry favor with you in the future. , I can’t even flatter you!”
He knew that Xue Hengzhao was by no means a creature in the pool. If he wanted to prosper in the future, he would definitely have to borrow her help.
