Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan returned to the palace, and first went to the study to see Kangxi. The report had already been prepared, saying that Wu Yingxiong had learned that the emperor suspected that he had sent the assassin last night, which frightened him greatly. Kangxi smiled and said: "This can also scare him a lot." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "It only scared him to shit. The servant gave him a good warning, saying that this kind of thing will probably happen again in the future. Call him Tell Wu Sangui that he must be loyal and serve the emperor." Kangxi kept nodding.
Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan took out a stack of banknotes from their arms. Wei Xiaobao added: "Then Wu Yingxiong was desperate and gave each of the two slaves 10,000 taels of silver. He asked us to put in a good word for him in front of the emperor and for his father and son. Excuse me." Kangxi smiled and said: "Since Wu Yingxiong gave it to you, just accept it. You two little kids will never be able to spend ten thousand taels of silver in your lifetime." Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan were overjoyed and said in unison: " Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Kangxi smiled and said, "Wu Yingxiong gave this to you, why are you thanking me?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "Wu Yingxiong gave me the money, didn't he just want me to say good things to him in front of the emperor? If the emperor refused to listen to me, he would not give me the money. For me, although this money was given by Wu Yingxiong Yes, but it is actually similar to what the emperor rewarded." Kangxi smiled and nodded, and then said: "Didn't you tell him that the assassin was a rebel of the Mu family?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No. The emperor should tell him personally, It makes him even more grateful." Kangxi nodded again.
Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan exited the study room and returned to their residence. As they approached the door, they saw a young eunuch from the imperial kitchen waiting by the road. The little eunuch came up to welcome him and said in a low voice: "Eunuch Gui, that boss Qian has sent another pig. This time it's called 'Bird's Nest Ginseng Pig'. He said it was to honor the father-in-law. He is waiting for the father-in-law's instructions in the royal dining room." Come down." Wei Xiaobao went to the imperial dining room with the young eunuch, and Xiang Yan returned to his residence alone.
When he came to the door, he called out to Xiang Yan: "Little Princess, Miss Fang, I'm back." The little Princess opened the door and smiled: "Brother Yan, you are back! Where is Brother Bao?" Xiang Yan said: "Someone give Xiaobao To give gifts, he went to the imperial kitchen to receive them." The little princess said: "Brother Yan, someone came to the door, it seems to be bringing food. He must have seen the door locked and left without opening the door."
Xiang Yan said: "How did you know that the food was delivered? Well, you smell the aroma of the food, and you are very hungry, aren't you? Why don't you eat some pastries and snacks to cushion your stomach when you are hungry?" The little princess ate. He smiled and said: "You're welcome, I've already eaten." Xiang Yan said: "I haven't eaten either, and I don't know if Xiaobao will bring food back from the imperial kitchen. I'll go and check. You want to eat? What? I'll bring it for you."
Xiang Yan walked to the imperial dining room and met Wei Xiaobao on the way. Wei Xiaobao asked, "Xiaoyan, where are you going?" Xiang Yan said, "Princess Princess and Miss Fang are hungry. I'll go to the imperial kitchen to bring some food back." Wei Xiaobao handed a note to Xiang Yan and said, "Xiaoyan, Please read this note." Xiang Yan took the note and read: "Gaosheng Teahouse said that heroes will be transferred." Wei Xiaobao said happily: "It's Brother Mao who is looking for me. Brother Mao has been busy some time ago, and I don't know if he is finished now. . If he is free, we can ask him to take us back to Yangzhou." Xiang Yan also smiled and said, "That's good."
Because Wei Xiaobao has been reluctant to return to Yangzhou, Xiang Yan almost forgot about it, and now he has his mind set on Prince Mu's Mansion. Now he suddenly brought up the matter of returning to Yangzhou. What did he mean? It doesn't matter, as long as it's good for me. Although Xiang Yan was quite reluctant to let go of Fang Yi and the little princess, it was really dangerous for him to stay in the palace, and the two of them would not stay in the palace for a long time.
When Xiang Yan went back with the food, he heard Wei Xiaobao holding a big envelope in his hand and saying proudly to the two girls: "This Wu Yingxiong actually gave me one hundred thousand taels of silver. Whoever sees it has a share, and we two One addition makes five, and I’ll give you half.” After that, he started counting the banknotes. Xiang Yan also took out the envelope and said, "Okay. I'll give you half." Fang Yi said, "I don't want Wu Yingxiong's bad money."
Xiang Yan advised: "Miss Fang, when you rebel against Wu Sangui, you should buy some weapons. You can't fight Wu Sangui with your fists! Now Wu Yingxiong is helping you with 100,000 taels of silver to buy weapons to deal with Wu Sangui, why should you refuse in a hurry?" Fang Yi Said: "Then thank you Brother Gui and Brother Xiang." Xiang Yan smiled and said: "This is Wu Yingxiong's money, why are you thanking us?" Fang Yi snorted and said proudly: "I don't thank Wu Yingxiong! "
After Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan handed the banknotes to the little princess and Fang Yi, Fang Yi said again: "How should we escape from the palace? You have to think of a way." Wei Xiaobao said: "You have to think of a way slowly. If you are injured, as long as you step out of this door, someone will take it to you immediately." Xiang Yan also said, "Yes! You are injured and it is difficult to move. It is better to wait until your injury is better before leaving."
Fang Yi sighed softly and asked: "I don't know how many of our companions who entered the palace last night died, how many were taken, and how many escaped? Do you know the names of those who were killed? ?" Xiang Yan said: "We took three living mouths, the same three we showed you before." Wei Xiaobao said: "If you want to know, we will help you find out."
