After regaining his senses, Hui Ming was just as if he were making needles and threads in the Directorate and System Bureau.
This is the 33rd year of Xuande, and His Majesty has just fallen ill. Although it looks like a menacing attack, his life is not in danger. Until the 35th year of the Zhongyuan Festival, King Rui killed his brother and rebelled and led an army to force the palace. Your Majesty After the death of Prince Rui, he was really sick. He only had time to help the remaining seventh prince to the throne, and he died in less than half a month.
In the last life, Eunuch Su suddenly sent Yuanbao to send her to the palace of Concubine Kang, who did not care about the world, although Yuanbao explained that Eunuch Su had mentioned her to the imperial court at the time. It was because I had met her a few times when I first entered the palace, and I saw her being embarrassed by my mama, so she intervened for a while, but now she was so reluctant, so she sent her away. But Huiming didn't believe it at the time, and suspected that Su Jin deliberately wasted and forced her to submit, but then King Rui's rebellion happened. stubborn, and the imperial eunuch Su Jin is in it.
Hearing the news of Eunuch Su's death, Hui Ming was panicked for a while. Although he inquired about the cause of death, he didn't think much about it, but he came back and took a look at it with his decades of qualifications, and he could see at a glance that it was true. Somewhat weird.
Only the first one, Prince Rui conspiracy to force the palace, what kind of big event is this? Why did Eunuch Su send her away in advance, knowing that he already knew
If Eunuch Su didn't know, it was just a coincidence that she was transferred, but who was Eunuch Su? Although I heard that he was born in an official slave, but when he was only ten years old, he was already in front of the imperial office. , the first person in front of Your Majesty is the master of the palace and the adults facing upward to be polite. Even if the rebels enter the palace, Eunuch Su will be right next to the saint. The safest place to drive, how can it be so easy to die like the worthless Xiaogong people outside
Even more importantly, I have been a caring person before Your Majesty for so many years. Even if I really go there for some last resort, according to the rules of the palace, I should always give him a decent funeral, no matter what. It's not like many ordinary palace people who don't have a name, just fall into a fire and turn to ashes and sprinkle them into a dry well.
No matter how you think about it, there are problems in it, but I don't know, where did Eunuch Su know these news, it was an accidental guess, or—
Rui Wang's rebellion, he was originally involved in it
She plucked the charcoal fire in the pot, and Hui Ming didn't show any surprise on his face. The days in the palace were dull and boring. For her only one father-in-law Su, it was a rare wave in her life. It was repeated in her previous life. In the more than ten years of her career as a female official, she had been in the scorching summer and winter, under the palace corridor, and in front of the banana leaves. Every time she thought of it inadvertently, when she came back to her senses, everything about Eunuch Su had been pondering over and over in her heart. Over a thousand times.
It's just that Eunuch Su was dead at that time, and it was useless to know the inside story. Hui Ming only thought about it a lot in his heart, but he never specifically asked about it. It was just a habit, and he thought about it.
I wanted to know now, but it was too late.
Fortunately, she came early enough, and the palace change with King Rui still has a year and a half to go. Even if she plans from now on, it should be too late, but I don't know how much Eunuch Su has been involved at this time, and whether there is any retreat at this moment. room for after
"Aunt Hui? Little ingot, master ordered me to bring charcoal to my aunt."
Just when Huiming was in a trance, a respectful voice suddenly came from the door. It was just what Huiming had just heard, Eunuch Su's only apprentice Yuanbao.
Charcoal is a fine silver wire charcoal. It burns for a long time. You don't have to get up and serve it often at night, and it will not smoke and choking people. Not to mention the palace servants, even some out-of-favor masters can't use it.
As Eunuch Su's apprentice, Yuanbao also has a very respectable identity to the palace servants next to her, and is more than half a year older than her, but in front of Huiming, in addition to sending her away at the end, it's not a good idea to explain. Hengmei was a little colder when he said that, and the rest of the time he was really just like an ordinary little inner prisoner in the palace, calling him aunt, respectful and careless.
Indeed, from the beginning to the end, Eunuch Su has never treated her a little bit of humiliation, let alone the kindness of taking care of her, but what about her? I don't know how high the sky is, and it's just self-indulgent. After receiving so much care from Eunuch Su, he didn't even have a word of thanks...
Huiming thought of this, and after accepting the silver charcoal fire, he suddenly stopped the ingot who wanted to leave: "Where is Eunuch Su now?"
"Still guarding in the Gande Hall." Yuan Bao paused for a moment after speaking, but calmly added a few good words to his master: "I was busy at first, but I heard that my aunt was not feeling well in the morning, and my master forced it out again. I've been here for a while, and I haven't had time to eat the morning meal yet."
When Hui Ming heard this, he turned his head and looked at the sky. It was almost time for lunch, but he didn't even use the morning meal
"Even if Your Majesty is busy, you can't stop eating, so you should persuade more." Facing the benefactors who owed a lot in his previous life, Hui Ming's words carried a little bit of remorse.
Being able to become Eunuch Su's apprentice, Yuanbao can be regarded as the human sperm in this palace. From Huiming's tone, he could hear a bit of softening. When his mind changed, he immediately lowered his head and suggested: "Master's temper, where are we? If there is nothing wrong with auntie, why don't you go and persuade yourself last time?"
Wilmington paused for a while, thinking of all kinds of past lives in his mind, and he responded: "Alright, what's your master's taboo? I went to pick up a meal for him."
"Hey, where do you use Aunt Labor for such trivial matters?" Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, and his words became more and more attentive: "The villain will go to prepare it now, and then come to invite Auntie."
Hui Ming couldn't push Yuanbao's hospitality, so he had to nod his head.
His Majesty's illness came too soon. As the eunuch in charge of the imperial front, Eunuch Su seemed to be busier than usual. Although it was noon when Yuanbao invited Huiming to come over, Huiming was still in the corridor behind Gande Hall. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I saw Eunuch Su's dark red robe hurriedly approaching from the corner.
Hui Ming stood up straight and watched the other person's bamboo-like figure walk in front of him. Even though he felt a thousand regrets and gratitude, when he really spoke, he could only curtsy, and he could not be more polite. : "Eunuch Su."
The weather was really cold, and even though there was no snow falling under the corridor, the palace maid was no better than the master. She usually didn't wear the big furry clothes, just a small quilted jacket. After standing outside for a long time, she couldn't hold her body. of coldness.
"Why don't you go in and wait in the room?" Under the corridor at the back of Gande Hall, Su Jin watched her put her palm to her mouth and breathed, frowning slightly. It was the chief supervisor of the sixth grade of the imperial front, and once her face became serious, It was quite powerful.
Although Qiande Hall is His Majesty's palace, there are always some remote and narrow huts in the corners for the palace people to rest for a while. The stove is always kept with hot water, just in case the master needs to use it at any time. If the palace people on duty can have free time outside of errands, they can also come over to relax and ask for a cup of hot water to warm up. Su Jin said, "In the house," means here.
Of course Huiming knew this place, and the reason why she didn't go was not only because she felt that the effort was unnecessary, but also because it was always a place where the palace people talked and spread gossip. , so that others will inevitably gossip behind their backs when they see it.
The palace servants eat each other, this is not a glory after all, she doesn't care about this false name now, but since Eunuch Su is not that kind of person, she does not want to spread such a thing to smear his name.
After Mr. Su opened his mouth, he also saw the scruples on Hui Ming's face. His expression suffocated, and he lowered his eyes slightly. The original slight joy gradually disappeared, and his voice changed to a calm like a deep pool of ancient wells: "Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing to worry about. It's just that Yuanbao sent charcoal fire just now. I'm here to thank you for being sympathetic."
Hearing this, Su Jin's eyes became more and more low, and he didn't even say a word, only nodded slightly.
Perhaps it was Yu Wei, the dignified director of Su. Even if he did it all over again, facing the young Eunuch Su, Hui Ming couldn't help but straighten himself up. The words that were supposed to be caring, added a bit of treatment because of this. Shangguan-like respectful and cautious approach: "Listen to Yuanbao, you have been so busy these days that you don't care about meals. Although the errand is important, it is not good for your father-in-law to work hard, so as not to lose yourself."
Su Jin's expression didn't change, her thin back was standing upright, and her tone was still flat: "Alright, I'm busy here, so I won't bother you later."
When Huiming heard the words, she was stunned. On her way here, she was still thinking that when Eunuch Su came to see her in the evening, she would calm down a little in the name of gratitude, so that she could become more familiar with Eunuch Su. It's good to slowly inquire about Rui Wang's affairs.
But now that Eunuch Su said he was busy, Huiming naturally didn't say much. He bowed his head to answer, and then said goodbye, so as not to delay Eunuch Su's errands.
Su Jin nodded slightly, her eyes were deep, and she watched her turn around the corridor step by step and walked to the front of the stairs. She was about to step out of the corridor, and then she saw the sky outside.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing the sound, Hui Ming turned around and got far away. He couldn't see the other party's expression clearly under the barrier of rustling and flying snow, but the voice as low as Gu Xiao was as calm as usual, as if he had no emotion at all: "You stand, my name is my name. Yuanbao will send you an umbrella."
