There's really nothing to do in the palace all day long... Jiang didn't know how many times he complained about this in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Cen Lixuan would hardly leave the sublime stage, saying that he was taking care of him, but he did not really take care of his clothing, food, and daily life. Therefore, Jiang often swayed in the palace. In order to prevent himself from accidentally causing trouble, Xiao Liuzi would Always follow him.
People in this palace talk a lot, that's really a lot. Duo Chujiang is also such a father-in-law who doesn't know where he came from, and no one would have any doubts about it. In a few days, he knew that the new father-in-law of Jiangzhentai was surnamed Jiang, and the palace people were all courteous to him. Salute and call Eunuch Jiang.
Jiang also heard about Zuo Xiang being pulled down by Xue Changfeng in the court a few days ago. I have to say that one or two of the palace servants in the palace really like to chat, and they all look like Wei Lin. As soon as the front matter came out, the palace servants in the back knew everything clearly.
This was yesterday, when Shang Xu went to prison.
"So, Shang Xu's crime is confirmed?" Jiang Ye asked casually.
Xiao Liuzi quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, I heard that there are forty-seven letters to and from the enemy country. It's hard not to convict them."
"After going to prison... will you be executed?"
"Not necessarily." Xiao Liuzi said, "Perhaps not, the elders of the Shang and Xiang dynasties, maybe they will commit suicide. But the holy will is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure."
The two chatted first, and walked to a palace in a trance.
The palace is not big, and Jiang also glanced at it and felt a little old, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time. It stands to reason that in this palace, no matter how small it is, except for the cold palace, there are palace staff who clean it from time to time. Seeing it strange, Jiang also asked, "What place is this?"
"This is Huishan Building. When the emperor was still a prince, he lived here." Xiao Liuzi replied, "But later, after the emperor ascended the throne, Huishan Building was banned."
"why?"
"The slave doesn't know." Xiao Liuzi said honestly.
Jiang also smiled: "I thought you knew everything."
"Minions... Minions only know a little bit." Xiao Liuzi smiled embarrassedly.
At first, he also thought that the new Eunuch Jiang was very scary. But after that night, he got along with Jiang every day. Jiang didn't talk much, and he didn't laugh often, but his temper was surprisingly good. When he hardly got angry, he gradually let go a lot.
How did Xiao Liuzi know that Jiang Ye was in need of someone who knew the situation in the palace. That night, Jiang also tried some tests and realized that this person had no background and no martial arts skills, so he felt a lot more at ease. In addition, the two got along every day, and Xiao Liuzi wanted to talk to others and he had no time to spare. Jiang Ye was completely convinced that he was really just an ordinary palace servant from Juzhentai.
But what Jiang didn't know was that Cen Lixuan's status in the palace was too low. Even if the other princes outside had already fought to the death for the storage position, no one would attack Cen Lixuan's idea.
A prince who is not favored, but fortunately masculine, it is impossible to be the heir and inherit the throne in the future.
Jiang Ye took a few more steps to Huishan Building, and Xiao Liuzi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Eunuch Jiang stays, you cannot step into Huishan Building."
"It's just an empty building." Jiang also said casually, looking at the place again.
I don't know if it was dazzling or what, Jiang also seemed to see a figure in the attic of Huishan Building. He didn't care so much, and said to Xiao Liuzi: "There is clearly someone up there."
"Eunuch Jiang is joking, no one is allowed to enter the Huishan Building, how can there be anyone?"
"If I say someone, it means someone." Jiang also said again, "The more you stop me, the more I think I should go take a look."
Jiang also finished speaking, and walked towards the gate of Huishan Building.
Xiao Liuzi hurried forward to stop him, but Jiang ignored him completely, and threw him aside, his pace quickened, and he had already entered the Huishan Building in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Liuzi looked at his back, anxious and scared. In the forbidden place, if anyone sees it, it is a death penalty. Now that Jiang has also entered, he stood there in a hurry, but still did not dare to take a step.
And what he didn't know, since the Huishan Building was a palace ban, it was naturally guarded. Today, no one was watching nearby, and things were very strange.
Jiang also walked into the Huishan Building. The outside of the Huishan Building did look a little disrepaired, but the inside was not bad. Apart from accumulating some dust, it looked like a well-maintained palace. The decorations are elegant and unique, and there is a bookish atmosphere everywhere. The back of the main hall is not a decorative screen, but a bookshelf with many books and even some bamboo slips on it.
Jiang also looked around for a while and went to the second floor.
He was still a little curious about the figure he saw outside earlier. The stairs in Huishan Pavilion were in disrepair for a long time, so Jiang took his steps lightly, for fear of stepping on the stairs.
As soon as he got to the second floor, he saw someone on the terrace, leaning on the railing, and the surrounding area was covered with vines because no one was taking care of it. The back looked like a middle-aged man, with his waist slightly bent, as if he was looking at the scenery outside. Jiang was also about to say hello, but before he opened his mouth, he first noticed that the leaning rail shook slightly. After years of training in ambush and guerrillas in the military camp, Jiang was also very concerned about such small things, because on the battlefield, it is very likely that a little mistake will lead to a complete loss.
It happened at the moment of lightning and flint, the leaning rail suddenly broke, and the man and the leaning rail fell forward together. Although this terrace is only on the second floor, it is not too high, but if someone falls, if it is not properly secured, they will be injured and lose their lives.
Jiang also rushed out subconsciously, grabbed the man's hand, and dragged him back abruptly: "Be careful!"
Then the broken section leaned on the railing and fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
Due to inertia, Jiang also brought the man down to the ground together, and it was not Jiang who did it deliberately, because the two were already one after the other, and the middle-aged man lay half-body on Jiang Ye after he fell.
Jiang also coughed twice due to the impact, got up from under the middle-aged man, and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man: "Are you alright?"
The middle-aged man was also breathless by the shocking excitement. He glanced at Jiang Ye, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and got up from the ground with his strength.
After helping people up, Jiang also said casually, "This place has been in disrepair for a long time, and the terrace is very dangerous."
The middle-aged man said solemnly, "Who are you?" As he said that, he looked up and down at Jiang Ye's clothes, looking very rude.
"I saved you, you don't thank me?" Jiang also asked rightly.
Only then did he notice the clothes the man was wearing, and at a glance he knew that his status was not low. The jade pendant on the man's waist is very rare, and it must be of great value. Thinking about it again, this is also in the palace, and it must be at least a dignitary.
"You don't know..." The man opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated for a moment, "This is a forbidden area, why did you trespass into a forbidden area?"
Jiang also didn't care, and said: "No one around, who knew I've been here? Besides, since it's a forbidden place, why are you here?"
Hearing Jiang Ye's seemingly reasonable but arrogant words, the man's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. He changed his tone and asked, "I don't know which father-in-law in the palace it is."
"I... uh..." Jiang also faltered and didn't say anything for a long time.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but this person's words are not unreasonable. After all, Huishan Building is a forbidden area, and only the person in front of him can see him when he trespasses. If you don't know him, you can't check it.
Although the man didn't look very good, he experienced such a thrilling incident just now, and now his face is pale, even his lips are bloodless, but his eyes are very wise. Seeing Jiang Ye's faltering appearance, he looked at Jiang Ye carefully again, and suddenly asked, "You...not an eunuch."
This is not a question, but a certainty.
For some reason, Jiang should have denied it, but there was a shrewd look in this man's eyes, which made Jiang even feel like he was seen through.
He thought about it for too long, and finally nodded: "Well."
"Then why are you wearing the costume of a eunuch?"
"It's hard to say." Jiang also said the same, looked around, there was a layer of stairs next to the terrace, he squatted down, patted the stairs twice, then sat down, looked at the man and said: "Why don't you sit down too?"
The man looked at Jiang also so casually, and felt a little interesting.
He didn't refuse, and sat next to Jiang Ye.
"What's your name?"
"You... just call it the seventh master." Seventh master said, and glanced at Jiang Ye again, "Thanks a lot just now."
"Oh, it's fine." Jiang also said indifferently, "Why is the seventh master in the forbidden area?"
"Seeing no one around, come in and have a look."
"It sounds fake."
"Young man, what's your name?" Jiang Ye's frankness made Qi Ye find it very funny.
The people in this palace, who are not the heart of the nine-sentence, the words in their mouths will turn around and turn around, and no one will expose them. Everyone is so used to this kind of communication that when someone like Jiang is so straight-forward suddenly appeared, it gave Qi Ye an indescribable sense of relief.
"Jiang Ye."
"Are you in the palace for another purpose?" Seeing the other party being so frank, the seventh master no longer equivocated, and simply asked the question in his heart.
Jiang also shook his head: "It's hard to say, I was entrusted by others to protect my friends."
"Since it's inconvenient to say, that's all." After the seventh master said, he coughed violently. Jiang also hurriedly patted the seventh master on the back, giving him comfort. Qiye covered his mouth with his sleeves, coughing for a long time before he stopped.
Jiang also asked, "Are you alright?" and inadvertently saw blood on the sleeve.
A hint of surprise flashed in his heart, but he felt that it was difficult to ask the question, so he just pretended that he didn't see it, and lightened the hand that patted the seventh master's back, and gradually stopped.
"It's okay." Seventh Master said, trying to stand up from the ground. Jiang also quickly helped him, but he dodged without a trace, and then continued, "It's time to go back, goodbye by fate."
"Oh, good." Jiang also said, stood up, and the two went out of the Huishan Building one after the other.
Jiang also went in the same direction as when he came before, and Seventh Master went in the other direction. He glanced back, and the back of the seventh master walking was a little lonely, especially because he was not feeling well, he bowed slightly, and he looked like he was in his forties, but his back looked like an old man in his sixties.
But he was just a stranger who met by chance. To say that Jiang was also touched, it was not too big. He walked outside the Huishan Pavilion, and the little six hurried up to meet him: "Eunuch Jiang, oh, you scared the slaves to death. If this is seen..."
"I know, I know." Jiang also said impatiently.
Seeing that it was not too early, and wandering outside, it would not be interesting to wander around, so Jiang Ye took Xiao Liuzi and the two to the descending real platform.
Xiao Liuzi Yuemo was really anxious, and he talked in Jiang Ye's ear for a long time, every word was to explain that the palace forbidden place should not be set foot on, Jiang did not take it seriously, and was still thinking about why the seventh master would be the palace forbidden. inside.
The two walked on and on, and they were not far from the platform.
Jiang also lowered his head and thought about something, when there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps in front of him, as well as the sound of armor rubbing against the movement. This kind of voice was really familiar to Jiang Ye. He raised his head and looked at it. There was a team of guards in front of him, just in front of the sublime stage, walking in his direction.
On weekdays, Jiangzhentai is like a cold palace, and almost no one sets foot on it. Today, a team of guards suddenly appeared, and even Xiao Liuzi became curious: "Why is there a team of guards suddenly? But the servants heard that the commander of the guards Changed..."
Jiang also continued to walk forward absentmindedly, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the figure in the distance was somewhat familiar.
Wearing the armor of the commander of the Imperial Army, Wei Lin strode forward and came to Jiang Ye.
As soon as Xiao Liuzi saw the clothes, he knew that this person was the commander, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Commander Wei."
Jiang also saw the familiar face, and was still a little dazed, and asked with a little doubt: "How did you... enter the palace?"
Wei Lin looked at the clothes Jiang Ye was wearing, and burst out laughing: "Eunuch Jiang, stay safe."
