Ye Fei stared at the group of palace servants who were walking like zombies, and said quietly: "If you have any gold, silver, or soft things on you, you'd better give them to those two old palace ladies. They are both greedy for money. They will just accept the things." I won’t make things too difficult for you.”
"But I came here in a hurry, and I don't have any gold or silver. And the silver that the Qing Commercial Office usually receives is given to the master..." Feipeng said with a wry smile.
Ye Fei looked embarrassed, nodded and said: "This is not easy to handle. I think those two old ladies want to trouble you. Sigh..."
Fei Peng was a little at a loss, and suddenly an idea came to her: "Ye Fei, can you leave the palace at ordinary times?"
"Well, about every ten days and a half, there will be an opportunity to go out and buy things. Why do you have to bring something with me, sister?" Ye Fei asked.
"I want you to find someone for me. Just tell him I'm here."
"Looking for someone?" Ye Fei was stunned.
Ye Fei didn't believe it, "Sister, do you know that this is the palace. Can the person you are looking for take you away from the palace?"
"I don't know, but I think he must be asking for information about me everywhere." Feipeng said, with the image of the smiling young man appearing in his mind.
"Well, okay, I'll go back and discuss it and see if I can go out for the shopping in five days. By the way, who are you looking for?"
"He is an attendant of Mr. Cao Chong of the prime minister's residence. His name is Song Xin. The news must be sent out before the fifth day of September. I'm afraid that he will go out with the army and I don't know when he will be able to come back."
When Ye Fei heard this name, he was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his head shook like a rattle, "Sister, it would have been better if it had been someone else. If you asked me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find someone, I wouldn't dare..."
Nowadays, the relationship between the emperor and Prime Minister Cao is delicate, and there are also rumors in the palace that Cao Cao wants to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself. If he goes to Cao Cao at this time, the big shots in the imperial party will definitely cause trouble for him.
Feipeng made sense when he heard it, thought about it and said, "Then he has built a new house in the north of the city, near an archway in the northwest district. When you get there, you will know him when you ask the neighbors. I will write a letter, as long as you bring it Give it to him. He will definitely thank you again, how about it?"
When Ye Fei heard that there was still a reward, he immediately laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll go look for it. But sister, you have to be patient for a few days. I will be out of the palace on official business on the first day of September."
Fei Peng felt that there was hope and finally smiled, "Well, thank you very much."
As long as she could see Song Xin again, even just once, she would be willing to endure the depression here.
Feipeng took advantage of the darkness and quietly took a bamboo slip. Without a pen, she used a sharp knife to carve a few crooked characters. When Ye Fei had the opportunity to go out of the palace to do business, he quietly handed it over to him.
Ye Fei passed through the North District and lied that he had a stomachache. After sending others away, he found Song Xin's home alone.
Since Song Xin went out today and did not return, it was Liu Ling who opened the door. She was a little dazed when she saw that it was a eunuch.
"Is this Song Xin's house?" Ye Fei asked.
"Yes, may I ask, sir, what do you want from my young master?"
Ye Fei was a little unhappy because this family didn't even give him a drink, but he still said patiently: "I was entrusted by someone to deliver a message here."
Liu Ling said: "Who wrote this letter?"
Ye Fei curled his lips, handed the Feipeng bamboo slips, and said, "She said that when Song Xin sees the bamboo slips, he will know what to do."
Liu Ling didn't know why, because there were only four words written on the bamboo slip, "I am in the palace."
"Sir, are you looking in the wrong place?" Liu Ling asked doubtfully.
Ye Fei said: "Isn't this a member of the Song Xin family who works as an attendant in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Liu Ling nodded, "Indeed."
Ye Fei shook his head angrily, grabbed the bamboo slips and said, "Okay, I've got the words, I'm leaving!"
Liu Ling still wanted to ask, but Ye Fei shook his sleeves angrily and walked away.
"I'm in the palace, what does this mean?" Liu Ling closed the door without knowing why.
Ye Fei sent the letter, but didn't get half a penny reward.
Ci, cursing all the way, "Well, Wei Feipeng, you said you would give me a reward when you delivered the message, but you met a maid who doesn't know anything. Damn it, I taught you so many rules in vain! Just wait and see!" "
He returned to the palace angrily. Fei Peng immediately wanted to come up and ask, but Ye Fei tilted his head, snorted coldly, and ignored her at all.
Fei Peng was anxious and followed her, but Ye Fei didn't seem to recognize her.
He still wanted to chase, but suddenly a hand grabbed his collar, "What are you doing!?"
Looking back, it was the old palace maid.
"Nakajia, no... nothing..."
"It's nothing. Why are you chasing that Ye Fei?" the old palace maid asked in a stern tone of interrogation.
"I don't, it's just..."
"Hmph, you little naughty fox, you are here and still seducing men. Don't you know that they are all incompetent people?"
Feipeng didn't dare to say that he asked Ye Fei to bring the news out, so he could only hesitate and was speechless for a long time.
"Follow me!" the old palace maid said, turned around and left, and Feipeng had no choice but to follow behind.
She was taken into the old palace maid's bedroom. As soon as she walked in, Feipeng felt that the atmosphere was wrong. Not only were there two old palace maids, but there was also an elderly eunuch who turned out to be the eunuch in charge of Ye Tingling. There was a bamboo slip placed on the table in front of them.
Seeing this piece of bamboo slips, Fei Peng's body shook violently, and at the same time he felt that the surrounding atmosphere became cold and heavy, like a huge iron cage, pressing towards him.
"Hmph, that's probably why you went after that Ye Fei." The old palace maid threw the bamboo slip in front of Fei Peng.
"Did you write this? Who did you tell Ye Fei to give it to? Tell me!" the old palace maid scolded angrily.
"me..."
She looked up at the three people. The old palace maid's eyes were like vultures waiting for their prey to die, while the old eunuch's eyes were like two spears shining with cold light.
He said nothing, but kept tapping his fingers on the desk. The clicking sound was very harsh in the silent room, as if each beat made Fei Peng's heart skip a beat.
"If my guess is correct, it should be for the attendant named Song Xin." The old eunuch suddenly spoke.
Fei Peng lowered his head and did not dare to speak. She didn't expect that Ye Fei would betray herself.
"My lord is asking you something, why don't you answer it quickly?" the old palace maid said.
Fei Peng finally nodded.
The old eunuch said: "The prime minister sent you here just to prevent you from contacting that attendant again. How dare you ask someone to deliver the message privately? Who do you think you can hide from your little calculation?"
The palace maid asked, "What should I do with her?"
The old eunuch said: "If you pester him like this, you will only ruin that boy's future. Do you know that the prime minister is helping him find a marriage between nobles and clans?"
Fei Peng's body trembled and he felt his legs were a little weak... His mind also felt dizzy and his body swayed.
When the old palace maid saw her fainting, she stepped forward and slapped her awake.
"How dare you be absent-minded when my lord is talking to you!"
Blood instantly flowed from the corner of Fei Peng's mouth. She endured her grief and silently wiped away the blood.
The old eunuch continued: "You are a singer, so don't have any illusions. I think you are impatient and should be trained and trained."
The old palace maid looked happy and asked, "My lord, please give me your instructions."
"Drag her out and beat her with thirty sticks. Let her remember her duty first."
The old palace maid chuckled, put up the canopy and walked out.
Fei Peng did not struggle, but the old eunuch's words almost dashed her hope.
"Looking for a marriage between nobles and clans. Mr. Song, I'm afraid you are planning to get married to a young lady from some family. You must have forgotten that Fei Peng is still here waiting for him... We are all equal, haha..."
Feipeng's face was ashen, and he was stripped of his clothes and hung on a wooden frame without any struggle, as if his heart was dead. Bamboo boards hit her back one after another. The pain was nothing, what was more painful was
humiliation. Although there is not a complete man here, their eyes are still looking at her body unscrupulously, enjoying the strong psychological pleasure it brings them when her beauty is destroyed bit by bit.
After thirty blows, Feipeng had already passed out.
The old palace maid threw her directly on the cold ground. After they left, the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs dispersed sparsely.
Ye Fei regretted a little. Because he didn't get the promised reward, he handed Feipeng's bamboo slips to the old palace maid. He kept telling himself in his heart that compassion is the least valuable thing. In the end, these words still defeated the trace of guilt, and he gritted his teeth and left here.
Song Xin returned home. Although he had inquired in many ways in the past few days, he could not find any news about Fei Peng. He was a little depressed and couldn't even get up the energy to practice.
"Sister Ling, is there anything going on at home today?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Liu Ling said.
Ajaan said, "I heard someone calling the door this morning. What was it?"
Only then did Liu Ling remember it and immediately said, "By the way, Master, in the morning, someone from the Xiaohuang Gate in the palace came to you and said he had a message for you."
Song Xin frowned, "News? Who is it from?"
"He didn't say anything, he just took out a bamboo slip."
"Bamboo slips? Let me see where they are." Song Xin reached out to ask for them.
Liu Ling said: "That eunuch was a little strange. He seemed to be angry for some reason and snatched the bamboo slips back."
"What did it say?" Song Xin also felt puzzled.
"There are only four words, 'I am in the palace.'"
"I'm in the palace? I'm in the palace..." Song Xin lowered his head and thought carefully for a while. He didn't know anyone in the palace.
Suddenly Xiaoyu said: "Could it be Feipeng!?"
Song Xin's whole body trembled suddenly, "Fei Peng!" His exclamation shocked several family members.
"Sister Ling! You missed my important event! Alas!" Song Xin stood up, slapped the case, turned around and pushed the door open.
Liu Ling still didn't know what was going on, but Ajiang already had a rough idea, "This must be sent by Fei Peng. She obviously can't tell me clearly. Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Only then did Liu Ling realize the seriousness of the matter. She burst into tears and slapped herself in the face.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, why didn't I think of it!"
With a stern face, Song Xin turned to a secluded alley, took out an invisibility charm and stuck it on his body, then ran towards the palace, "Half-bone, Huangpi, help me find it together!"
"Yes!" The two ghost soldiers agreed, and a gust of cold wind roared out and flew towards the palace.
The palace in Xudu is not large in scale. Song Xin once visited the Forbidden City in his previous life. The area here is almost a quarter of the Forbidden City.
With the help of ghost soldiers and spiritual consciousness, Song Xin finally saw the familiar figure, but his heart sank to the bottom.
