Murong Feiyan said: "I heard that there was a change in Xiezhou, so I went to Xiezhou to find you as soon as possible, but I didn't get any news from you when I got there, so I guessed that you would come to the capital." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did you think that I would come back to the capital?"
Murong Feiyan said: "Because you are a fool, if you know that something happened to your family, you will definitely come here desperately." ” "I thought that in your heart, I was always a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death."
Murong Feiyan bit her lip: "You're not" Before she finished speaking, she coughed violently, she covered her lips with her hands, her pale pretty face showed a little redness because of the violent coughing, and finally stopped coughing, and then saw that her palms were already stained with bright red blood, and she actually coughed up blood.
Hu Xiaotian was full of worry and said, "You have hemoptysis, I'll help you take a look." ” Murong Feiyan shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the meridians are damaged, and it's not a medical work, so you need to recuperate for a while before you can recover." ” "I'll go find Grandpa Quan."
Murong Feiyan stretched out his hand and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's sleeve: "Don't go" Hu Xiaotian looked at Murong Feiyan, who was described as haggard, and secretly felt sad in his heart, Murong Feiyan worked hard to rescue him, and he was in prison because of himself, but he couldn't tell the truth now, what kind of pain and suffering was that.
Murong Fei said: "The short knife you gave me, I like it very much" Hu Xiaotian nodded, his eyes were already red, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Gonggong Quan has promised not to pursue you and Zhanpeng's assassination of him, and he will let you go today."
He got up and prepared to leave.
Murong Feiyan shouted behind him: "Xiaotian, did you agree to any conditions for us to do so?"
Hu Xiaotian's body stopped in front of the door, and after a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "I'll go to see Brother Zhan first, and I'll have someone bring a change of clothes later."
You leave Cheng'en Mansion as soon as possible, and I'll take care of the rest." ” Murong Feiyan looked at Hu Xiaotian's back as he drifted away, and always felt that he had too many things to hide from himself, and for a while, he was sad from his heart, and tears flowed down like a spring.
Zhanpeng's right calf was broken by Kwon De'an with a prayer bead, and Kwon De'an didn't treat them slowly.
He also made a special trip to ask a doctor to help him treat his bone injury, and now Zhanpeng's injury recovery is good, compared to Murong Feiyan, although his external injury is more serious, but the recovery speed is much faster than Murong Feiyan.
Seeing that Hu Xiaotian came unharmed, Zhanpeng was also very relieved, he and Murong Feiyan did not make an appointment in advance to appear at the same time, when he and Hu Xiaotian broke up that day, he felt that Hu Xiaotian's whereabouts were secret.
Although Hu Xiaotian was very cautious and took anti-tracking measures, his martial arts could not be compared with Zhanpeng after all.
Zhan Peng followed Hu Xiaotian to Cheng'en Mansion, because he knew that this place was related to the royal family, so he did not choose to enter rashly, but hid outside and waited for Hu Xiaotian to come out.
Until Hu Xiaotian was carried to the clean room by four eunuchs and shouted for help.
Zhan Peng just appeared to the rescue.
It's just that he didn't expect that the martial arts of an old eunuch with an old state of Longzhong would be so unfathomable, and he would still inevitably be injured under Quan De'an's hands after all his efforts, just when his life was hanging by a thread, Murong Feiyan flew to the rescue, and the two of them were still not Quan De'an's opponents, and they were both captured in the end.
I've been imprisoned here for nearly twenty days.
Quan De'an did not embarrass him, in addition to finding someone to treat his bone injury, he would have people bring him meals regularly every day.
Being detained here and cut off from the outside world, Zhanpeng naturally has no way of knowing Hu Xiaotian's current situation.
Now seeing that Hu Xiaotian is safe and sound, Zhanpeng is also relieved, hearing that Quan De'an wants to let him and Murong Feiyan leave, and no longer pursue the assassination, Zhanpeng first felt relieved, and then realized that things are by no means so simple, and then saw Hu Xiaotian wearing the eunuch clothes in the palace, thinking of that night, the four eunuchs carried Hu Xiaotian to the clean room, and there was a faint ominous thought in his heart, and he said in a low voice: "Why is Engong wearing such a dress" Zhanpeng is not a simple-minded martial artist with developed limbs, he tried to ask as tactfully as possible.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Didn't I tell you, don't call me by Engong when you call me by my name in the future, you sacrificed your life to come to the rescue, if you really want to talk about it, now I owe you a favor." ” Zhan Peng said: "Don't say that, I don't call you Engong." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I wear this dress, you should know my current identity." ” Zhan Peng's eyes widened: "You mean" The words came to his lips, and he still didn't say the five words that you have been purified.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zhan Peng and nodded, there are some things that don't need to be explained, let others guess the best, if the truth is revealed in the future, he will not deceive Zhan Peng, anyway, I didn't say that I was clean, everything is your own guess.
Zhan Peng said gloomily: "How can this be so, how can it be so, is it that they forced you to do this, so that our lives forced you to enter the palace" Hu Xiaotian said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with you, it's all because of the emperor, he promised to spare the lives of our Hu family, but he has one condition, he wants me to enter the palace as a slave and atone for my father." ” As a man, Zhanpeng understands what kind of sacrifice it means to enter the palace, although Hu Xiaotian kept saying that what happened had nothing to do with them, but Zhanpeng still felt self-blame and regret in his heart, he thought that he failed to rescue Hu Xiaotian that night, but was captured by mistake, which also became one of the reasons for Hu Xiaotian's trouble.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Zhan doesn't have to feel sorry for me, in fact, this is the only way to solve it, it is better for me to enter the palace alone to atone for my sins than for our Hu family to be beheaded all over the house, no matter how it is a lifetime, I have never entered the palace, I can serve by the emperor's side, and I have no worries about food and clothing in this life, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ” Zhan Peng pursed his lips and looked at Hu Xiaotian sympathetically, he understood that Hu Xiaotian was no longer a normal man since then, his sacrifice was huge, and he no longer had any happiness in his life, he suddenly thought of Murong Feiyan, who also sacrificed his life to save that night, it is not difficult to judge from the scene at that time, Murong Feiyan has a deep affection for Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian entered the palace, is it impossible for him and Murong Feiyan to join hands in this life Zhan Peng's heart for Hu Xiaotian deeply regretted.
But the matter has come to this point, it is not human power can be reversed, Zhanpeng sorted out his emotions, and said in a low voice: "Brother Hu, what do you need me to do" From Engong to Xiaotian, now call him Brother Hu, Zhanpeng's inner journey is full of twists and turns, he thinks that the word brother can express his feelings, no matter what Hu Xiaotian has become now, he will not change because of this.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "There is indeed something, Brother Zhan, although Your Majesty has promised to spare my father's life, but he has also removed my father from his official position and let him continue to listen to the household department, in fact, the real purpose is nothing more than to use my father to do a good job in the handover of the household department. ” Zhan Peng nodded, although he didn't understand the affairs of the court, he had already heard of the cold-blooded affairs of the court.
Hu Xiaotian said: "My father made a lot of enemies in the past, and now there will naturally be a lot of enemies who take the opportunity to make trouble, although there are many warriors in the Hu Mansion, but now the Hu family is out of power, and I am afraid that there will be only a few left to stay by my father's side to protect them, and I will enter the palace in a few days, and after entering the palace, I will naturally not be able to enter and exit freely in a short time."
Brother Zhan, I want you to help me take care of the Hu family and protect the safety of my father and mother after you recover from your injuries. ” "Don't worry, as long as I, Zhanpeng, am here, I will definitely not let Uncle Hu and them be bullied."
Hu Xiaotian said again: "When you see my father, help me tell him a word, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood." ” The autumn rain was dashing, and the wind diffused in the gray air, so that the entire Kangdu was shrouded in a haze, Quan De'an and Hu Xiaotian stood side by side at the highest point of Cheng'en Mansion, looking at the Wupeng carriage that slowly left from the back door of Cheng'en Mansion.
Quan De'an glanced at Hu Xiaotian meaningfully: "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and if you want to live, you must forget those things in the past." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "If you can't forget it?"
"If you can't forget, you can only live in pain."
Quan De'an's hands like bird's claws rested on the wall: "I have done everything I promised you, and now it's your turn." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Until now, I don't know what you want me to do for you" Quan De'an said: "First of all, prove to me that you can survive in the palace."
He turned and came to the other side, looking at the imperial city shrouded in smoke and rain due south.
Hu Xiaotian followed him over: "With you, the commander of the celebrant eunuch, the eunuch and palace maid in this palace should not dare to bully me if she has a little look."
"The miscellaneous family will not take care of you, you must not forget, you are waiting for the crime to enter the palace, your identity is the most humble kind in the palace, although I am the master of ceremonies, but do you know that in the imperial city, there are twelve eunuchs, and the celebrant is only one of them.
These twelve eunuchs are the celebrant supervisor, the internal official supervisor, the royal eunuch, the secretary supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the divine official supervisor, the Shangshan supervisor, the Shangbao supervisor, the seal ribbon supervisor, the Zhidian supervisor, the Shangyi supervisor, and the metropolitan governor.
In addition, there are four divisions and eight bureaus, and the four divisions are the Salary Division, the Treasure Money Division, the Bell and Drum Division, and the Mixed Hall Division.
The eight bureaus are, the War Bureau, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, the Siyuan Bureau, the Huanyi Bureau, and the Silver Bureau. ” Hu Xiaotian already had a headache just by listening to this cumbersome and complicated name: "I said Gonggong Quan, you can simply order a director or a director for me or something."
Quan De'an said: "The housekeeping in the palace has been handed over to the miscellaneous family as early as after His Majesty ascended the throne, I am a cripple, my hands and feet are not neat, how can I serve the emperor well."
