In a blur of confusion, Hui Ming stood blankly outside the palace wall outside Qiande Palace, full of doubts in his heart.
Why is she here? What is she doing
Oh, by the way, Hui Ming suddenly remembered that King Rui rebelled, and I heard that many palace servants in the Gande Palace were killed. She wanted to go and ask someone to see who died. There are a few female companies I don't know well, and there are rumors that Eunuch Su is also...
She has to go and see.
I just figured this out. In a blink of an eye, Huiming saw the old man from the Gande Palace who was sweeping the outer courtyard. By the way, it was him who she asked. Huiming took a few steps forward, before he could speak. , the wrinkled old palace servant knew her intention, shook his head and sighed like a tune: "Dead, all dead..."
Hui Ming stood stunned for a while, and heard his own voice fluttering: "Then Director Su, what about Eunuch Su?"
"Director Su?" The old palace man's cloudy eyes showed impatience: "Dead! Also dead!"
also dead!
—————
When the dream came to this point, Hui Ming struggled twice, then as if he had finally struggled out of the icy cold water, he abruptly sat up.
His chest was still beating violently, Hui Ming gasped slightly, turned his head to look at the still dark sky outside, only then did he realize that even his palms were covered in cold sweat.
Lu'an, who was beside her, noticed her movement, and also turned over and called out in a daze, "Aunt?"
"It's okay, I had a nightmare." Hui Ming shook his head gently, his voice a little hoarse.
She had been dreaming like this for several days, Hui Ming stroked her chest, and she regained her senses for a while.
It's strange to say that when she had just learned about Eunuch Su's death in her previous life, she was only shocked and stupefied for a long time. Apart from being a little empty, she just kept guarding her little highness after that, and it was an unusual two days. For more than ten years, there has been no obvious response.
Even in the few days she just came back, she learned that Eunuch Su was still alive. Of course, she was full of happiness and wanted to repay her kindness, but it was not so much that she could not even sleep peacefully every day.
It's only since the day before yesterday that I gave Hibiscus egg custard, and after listening to Eunuch Su and her long-winded and detailed words, after coming back, I have been woken up again and again by such nightmares. Day, really do not know why.
Is it possible that you are thinking about it every day and dreaming at night? Hui Ming thought, it's not unreasonable, she is really thinking about how to get Eunuch Su to escape from Zhongyuan two years later, so that she can live a long life.
She turned gently and leaned towards the head of the kang. She took a bowl of water from the small table under the kang and took a few sips. Even though there was a rattan porcelain pot, it was already cold after the night. I woke up from this cool and stimulating moment, but clutched the thick quilt tightly again, calmed down, and leaned on the pillow to think that she hadn't spoken to Eunuch Su for a few days.
It should be four... five days? Hui Ming pinched his fingers and figured it out, it wasn't just Eunuch Su. Speaking of which, in the past four or five days, he hadn't even seen Yuanbao. When he came to deliver the silver silk charcoal yesterday, she happened to be absent, it was Lu'an. received.
This can't be done. If it goes on like this, how can she get close to Eunuch Su, so that she can ask questions about such a big event involving Prince Rui? After so many days, she should be more attentive and go again! Coincidentally, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know if Eunuch Su's stomach problem is getting better or not, and if he drinks rice flour and poria powder every day.
Thinking like this, Hui Ming lay down for a while, hearing that it was almost time outside, he simply got up in the night outside, and took out a few silver nudes from the wooden box at the end of the bed last time. , got up and tidied up swiftly, and went to the dining room as before, and asked for a bowl of japonica rice porridge with oil flowers. Looking at it, it was very refreshing, so he also had the cheek to ask for a plate, put it in a food box and sent it to Eunuch Su's house.
It was too early, no one was in Eunuch Su's room, and even the door was tightly locked. Hui Ming was a little surprised. Originally it was just an upside down room for temporary rest. It was just behind the Gande Hall. There is nothing valuable. She used to come here, and the door of the house is usually unlocked, especially after she started delivering meals to Eunuch Su, Yuanbao also mentioned it to her specifically, and only said that if there is no one in the future, just go in directly, don't let it go. It's cold outside.
Why is it still locked today
Did you forget the ingot? Wilmington paused, stomping his feet in the cold wind outside the house and waiting for a moment. Seeing Yuanbao and Eunuch Su's future, he was afraid that the hot porridge would soon be cold on such a day. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to Turning around, carrying the food box, he hurried back to his own room, and swiftly placed his hands and feet next to the brazier to warm him.
It was the time when the snow was slowly melting, and the path around the Gande Palace was already being cleaned by rough sweepers every day, but the snow that was melting all the time would inevitably seep out a little, especially. It is near the downside house and the corridor where the masters will not set foot, and there is a lot of dirt and mud on the floor tiles.
The palace people in the palace didn't want to let the snow water stain their shoes, so they all walked around the clean corridor a few more steps, but Huiming was in a hurry, but he didn't have such a knack for it. He just picked up the corner of his skirt and walked straight. Into the snow on the floor tiles.
After running around in the snow like this, most of the shoe uppers were already wet. Fortunately, because I picked up the skirt, the corners of the skirt were fairly clean, and I couldn't see anything when it was smoothed and covered. All the shoes and socks were wrapped wetly on his feet, so he had to endure the discomfort all the time.
Hui Ming frowned secretly, but he didn't care about it at the moment. He only took orders in front of Aunt Wei together with the female ministers on duty today, and he prepared His Majesty's ornaments for today, holding them as in the past. The lacquer plate was waiting outside the curtain of the bedroom, and it didn't take long for it to follow an order, and then stepped forward one by one.
Hui Ming is very familiar with such daily errands, and he can almost never make mistakes with his eyes closed, so most of his attention is now focused on Eunuch Su, who is beside him.
According to His Majesty's habit, it has always been the job of the ladies in front of the imperial court to serve personally, and the internal supervisors never intervene, so Eunuch Su just stood up and lowered his eyes, standing quietly at the door, watching his nose and nose. The heart seems to have no interest in everything in the temple.
Hui Ming stared at him for a long time, but today's Eunuch Su looked at him with no sharpness as before, until Huiming waited on him and walked out with a lacquer plate in his hand. Eunuch Su didn't give her a single look. In the same place, it is almost settled!
Hui Ming pursed his lips lightly, and inexplicably withdrew with a low mood.
Although Hui Ming was also on duty in the Qiande Hall, compared to Eunuch Su's Jane in the Emperor's Heart, he only stepped forward to serve when His Majesty was changing clothes. After breakfast, I got up and drove to the Yangqian Palace to handle the affairs of the state. Eunuch Su also accompanied him. After the morning, Huiming couldn't find the opportunity to meet Eunuch Su when he was free. She had to drink the rice porridge she had asked for in the morning.
In this way, it was not until noon, when His Majesty was taking a nap, that Hui Ming, who had been paying attention for a whole day, finally found his time. Yuanbao walked in a hurry and was about to leave.
"Eunuch Su!" Hui Ming smiled and shouted from a distance to greet him.
Su Jin's footsteps stopped. Under the cover of the big cloak, the palm of his hand was shaking slightly, but his face was just like this gloomy weather, without the slightest wave.
"Where is your father-in-law going?" Hui Ming raised the corners of his mouth, his tone was brisk, and his face showed a bit of concern: "This morning, I was thinking of giving my father-in-law a bowl of rotten rice porridge, but unfortunately he Locked the door and didn't open it until Chen Shi, the boss is so busy with his errands, but did he have breakfast?"
Su Jin raised his head stiffly, his eyes swept across Hui Ming's face almost greedily. He hadn't spoken to her for six days. At this moment, he was so concerned about Hui Ming that he wanted to look up and take a good look. Looking at her, but the shame and timidity in his heart told him not to look at her.
Su Jin lowered his head again. At this time, he knew that he should have said some cold words, so that she could retreat in spite of the difficulties. Since then, he has ignored him, but...
"Going to Yongshou Palace." He opened his mouth hard, and then, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, and the hurtful words couldn't utter a single word anyway.
Huiming didn't realize that something was wrong. Seeing that Eunuch Su was silent, he asked strangely, "What does Eunuch want to say?" After a while, he was a little embarrassed: "But I delayed your errand?"
"No, no..." Su Jin clenched her palms again, almost exhausted all her strength, and in the end, she just followed the words and turned her head to escape: "I still have some important errands, if you have something to do, It is to instruct Yuanbao."
Eunuch Su lowered his head and said hurriedly, then turned and walked away almost in a panic, leaving only the Yuanbao standing there, smiling dryly at Huiming, and called Aunt Hui.
Huiming didn't realize that something was wrong at this time, and only wondered: "What's wrong with the father-in-law? By the way, why is the door locked in this upside-down room today, and I was told to run for nothing."
"Blame me, blame me, all the villains forgot." Yuanbao lowered his head and scratched the back of his head, his eyes dodged, his face full of embarrassment.
Hui Ming was stunned for a while. She was familiar with such an expression. When they offended Aunt Wei before, Qiu Ya and Yun Hua, including Kukou Yu Gan, were all embarrassed and eager to face her. She looked farther away.
Thinking about the situation in the past few days, Hui Ming seems to have understood something.
In addition to the role of the imperial supervisor, Eunuch Su also added the sacrifice to the death anniversary of the first emperor. Every day, he went out early and returned late, so he didn't even have to dodge deliberately. It was extremely rare for Zhen and Huiming to meet in private.
It is precisely for this reason that although Huiming felt that Eunuch Su was getting busier these days, he really hadn't realized that it was Eunuch Su's intentional alienation from her.
Until now, when she saw Yuanbao's dodging, she, who was also awake at first, suddenly realized -
Eunuch Su, this is because she already thinks she is troublesome and has explained it to Yuanbao. Do you want to stay away from her
Also, Eunuch Su was originally a righteous gentleman. In her last life, she was affectionate and raised eyebrows everywhere. Eunuch Su was magnanimous and didn’t care, but this time she was so diligent. That is normal.
"That's the case, I won't delay you. Next time Eunuch Su is free, so just go and harass." Hui Ming still smiled generously, and still spoke to Yuanbao with a calm expression.
Hui Ming told himself in his heart, it's okay, that's what it should have been.
Even so, although she had already thought clearly and clearly in her heart, but—
Hui Ming reached out and touched her chest, for no reason, she felt a little wronged.
