Ling Xiao recovered from his illness after resting for five days. During these five days, Ling Xiao told Xiao Li to take care of the emperor.
He told Xiao Lizi part of the emperor's preferences. How much he could remember and how much he could comprehend depends on the person's understanding.
However, there was no bad news from the emperor, and the emperor was probably satisfied with Xiao Lizi.
Ling Xiao is now the head of the eunuchs, so there are many things in charge, he has the right to take charge of all the eunuchs in the harem, even the concubine's nameplate is selected by him and handed to the emperor at night.
That is to say, he can permanently brush off Mo Qi's brand.
However, the emperor seemed to be abstinent, and he had instructed Director Xu before that there was no need to choose cards without an order, so he didn't dare to let the emperor choose cards without the emperor's special instructions.
Five days later, Ling Xiao went to work normally, and put on the clothes that belonged exclusively to the head eunuch, which was exactly the same style as the head eunuch, with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold silk on the red robe.
Ling Xiao also pretended to take a whisk, and went to see the emperor respectfully.
When the emperor saw him, he sized him up slightly, and then asked, "Are you in good health?"
Ling Xiao saluted and bowed his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, all the servants are well."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and spread his hands: "Help me change my clothes."
Ling Xiao took the order and walked in front of the emperor with a smile.
The emperor watched his movements with narrowed eyes. The little eunuch's complexion finally turned rosy, and his spirit looked much better. The new clothes fit him very well. Casual clothes might suit him better.
Thinking this way, the emperor withdrew his eyes.
Ling Xiao had already helped the emperor get dressed, and stood aside respectfully.
The emperor shook his sleeves, walked out with his hands behind his back, Ling Xiao led a group of people to follow.
The place where the Imperial Garden was going to practice swords was replaced by him to prepare it for the emperor, most of the eunuchs and maids Ling Xiao found were those who came to bring rewards to him that day.
In his impression, most of these people were taciturn and good at doing things.
Ling Xiao is not like Manager Xu, he will not train his confidants in order to keep his position, he will select a few people appropriately, teach them how to serve the emperor, how to serve the emperor comfortably.
Let them help themselves with some things.
If among these people, there are those who really want to curry favor with the emperor and claim credit in front of the emperor, Ling Xiao would like to see if they themselves have this ability, or if it is so easy to get the emperor's cronies.
Different from the past, Ling Xiao had someone prepare some ice water when the emperor practiced the sword, and when the emperor finished the sword practice, he could just use the ice water to wash his face and wipe the sweat on his neck.
After the emperor finished wiping, he let out a sigh of relief, and gave Ling Xiao a meaningful look, Ling Xiao smiled slightly and bowed his head in salute.
The emperor chuckled, and went back to the dormitory to change into the dragon robe and went to court early.
The difference from what Ling Xiao knew was that in this era, there were eunuchs waiting in front of the court. This eunuch was handpicked by the emperor and was only in charge of the court, so there was no need for Ling Xiao to worry about it.
So, the emperor has gone to court, Ling Xiao only needs to prepare breakfast and wait for the emperor to come back.
Before the emperor's breakfast, there were some expensive porridge and exquisite dim sum.
This time, Ling Xiao prepared some simple meals for the emperor—preserved egg porridge with lean meat and egg pancakes.
When the emperor came back, he saw that the table full of breakfast had turned into two different things, he paused, and then looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao bowed his head, and took the initiative to explain: "Your Majesty, actually it's good to experience how the common people eat once in a while."
"Moreover, these are made by the slaves themselves, and they definitely meet your taste, the emperor."
The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth like a sneer: "If I am not satisfied, you, the chief executive, should be replaced."
Ling Xiao was slightly startled, and said calmly: "The servant understands."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the little eunuch looked calm and confident. Seeing this, the emperor re-examined this simple breakfast.
Finally, he picked up the spoon, picked up the egg pancake, and tasted it.
Unexpectedly, the taste is good. The omelette is a bit spicy, which is really suitable for him. The porridge is relatively light, not as greasy as the previous bird's nest porridge, and it is very refreshing.
The emperor looked at Ling Xiao, and found that the little eunuch was secretly looking at him, it seemed that he was not completely confident in himself.
He put down his chopsticks, couldn't bear to hang on to him anymore, and said, "The way of eating among the people is really good, from now on, I'll be in charge of my diet."
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he saluted with a smile: "Your servant obeys."
The emperor smiled lightly, thinking that the little eunuch was in good health, he gave the little eunuch a lie and said: "Today, I will discuss matters with the minister, you don't need to follow at any time, go back and rest."
Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, but he didn't refuse, he respectfully sent the emperor away, and let Xiao Lizi take good care of the emperor.
But Ling Xiao was used to being busy, and his mind became more flexible when he was free.
The first thing he thought of was Mo Qi, after all, there was hatred there.
Mo Qi's being so quiet during this time is too unlike her temperament.
According to her own personality, it is absolutely impossible to be so peaceful, there must be someone to guide her.
Ling Xiao could only think of Lan Wei or the prime minister as the person to guide Mo Qi.
The prime minister is still on "holiday", so he probably won't act rashly.
Then there is only one left—Lan Wei.
Unexpectedly, after being warned by the emperor, Lan Wei was still so bold and dared to send a letter. It seems that Mo Qi's Marysu aura is really powerful, making Lan Wei desperate.
But who sent them the letter
The eunuch bought by Lan Wei of Chuxiu Palace has been solved.
So, it is the newly bribed eunuch who is communicating with them now
Ling Xiao pondered, he knew Lan Wei's eyeliner in his previous life, but that was the eunuch Mo Qi met in other palaces after leaving Chuxiu Palace in his previous life, in this life, Mo Qi is still in Chuxiu Palace, Ling Xiao also It is not clear whether Lan Wei bribed the eunuchs from other palaces in her previous life or the eunuchs from Chuxiu Palace.
Ling Xiao struggled, touched his chin, and thought of a way.
He shook the dust in his hand, smiled evilly and walked away.
The eunuch who is bribed will change, but the meeting place for sending messages should not change.
Coincidentally, in his previous life, Ling Xiao was in charge of delivering letterheads many times, so he knew this location perfectly.
Ling Xiao picked up the floating dust and walked to the east gate of the palace, this is the gate for the little eunuch in charge of procurement to leave and enter the palace.
In the beginning, for the sake of concealment, Ling Xiao personally sent the letter out of the palace gate, and it was here—the east gate sent out to Lan Wei.
With the reason of showing fresh vegetables to Master Mo Qimo, he handed the letter to the guy who delivered the food. This guy is from Lan Wei.
If Lan Wei had letterheads, he would bring them in too, and find a bribed eunuch from the procurement department to send them in.
As long as Ling Xiao doesn't stand guard here, he will know who is bribed.
Exactly the same as the previous life.
It was Xiao Linzi named Qi Lin from the Procurement Department, a middle-aged eunuch who was greedy for money.
The person who handed over to him was Xiao Zhuozi from the imperial dining room.
Ah…
It would be much simpler if it was exactly the same as in the previous life, Ling Xiao touched the floating dust in his hand, turned around and walked back to his place.
Asked someone to call all the people in his memory.
Xiao Zhuozi and Xiao Guizi from the Imperial Dining Room.
Purchased by Qi Lin.
Xiao Dezi and Xiao Dengzi of Chuxiu Palace.
There are still some eunuchs scattered in the wombs of other concubines in his memory, Ling Xiao felt that Lan Wei probably hadn't moved so fast, so he didn't call.
Those who call are inseparable from the recent letter transmission.
Ling Xiao sat in the upper seat, looking down at a group of people kneeling in front of him.
Some bold ones still looked as usual, while some timid ones panicked and knelt down with limp hands and feet.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry, he slowly looked at them one by one, waiting for them to confess.
Finally someone lost his temper and asked, "Director Ling, what is the purpose of calling the servants here?"
Ling Xiaoxie laughed, but didn't answer, but stood up, walked in front of them for a round, and finally stopped in front of Chuxiu Palace's little Dengzi, and squatted down.
Compared with the others, little Dengzi seemed very nervous, his whole body was shaking non-stop, Ling Xiao looked at his face, his eyes slowly moved down, and fixed on his chest.
Little Dengzi turned sideways slightly, as if he wanted to block something, Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, and he made a sudden move, ripped off Little Dengzi's clothes, and found a letter from inside.
Holding the letter with one hand and holding it with the other, Ling Xiao smiled evilly and opened the letter.
Sure enough, it was written by Lan Wei to Mo Qi. Most of the whole letter was comforting Mo Qi, and finally reminded her not to act rashly and wait for the prime minister to come to court to find a solution.
Seeing this letter, Ling Xiao could imagine how Mo Qi cried to Lan Wei.
Seeing that Ling Xiao got the letterhead, the five eunuchs looked pale.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at them with a cunning smile, his eyes narrowed like a fox.
Everyone finally knew why Ling Xiao asked them to come here. It was because of this letter. Originally, they thought that sending a letter to an unfavorable Mo Xiu girl would not cause any harm, but now the chief eunuch found out. , isn't this fatal!
The things they send messages can be big or small.
Small ones, being pinned down by Ling Xiao, they were able to save their lives, big ones, even if they stabbed at the emperor, they would be beheaded.
So their fate was tied to Ling Xiao's body at once.
The timid ones already knelt and crawled beside Ling Xiao's legs, clutching his legs and begging for mercy bitterly.
The bold ones were pale and unable to say anything.
Ling Xiao looked at these five people with a sneer, stood up, and kicked away the two little eunuchs who were holding his legs.
