Chapter 30 Han Meijun Invites Me to Enter the Imperial Concubine's Palace Again!
"This old servant greets Her Highness the Imperial Noble Consort!"
Liu Jin was startled and hurriedly knelt down with the Imperial Guards before Murong Yuhe.
Even the eunuchs and Ruyi in the palace courtyard knelt down.
The Imperial Noble Consort glared angrily at Liu Jin, who was kneeling before her: "Continue taking Xiao Shisan? Why have you stopped?"
Xiao Shisan looked smugly at Liu Jin, who was kneeling.
At this moment, Liu Jin dared not arrest Xiao Shisan, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is not that this old servant deliberately made things difficult for Xiao Shisan. Rather, it is that Xiao Shisan wrongfully killed this old servant's adopted son, Steward Liu Yuhe..."
He wasn't finished yet.
He was interrupted by Xiao Shisan!
"Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort."
"Lord Liu is talking nonsense! This servant did not wrongfully kill Liu Yuhe!"
"The servant killed Liu Yuhe with justification and evidence."
Xiao Shisan bowed to the Imperial Noble Consort and said, "It was Liu Yuhe who first attempted to poison Her Majesty the Empress."
Swish!
Liu Jin's face turned pale, and he glared at him, exclaiming excitedly, "Xiao Shisan, you're talking nonsense! My son couldn't possibly be so reckless!"
Hmph, I have evidence, why should I bother with you?
Xiao Shisan, too lazy to waste words with Liu Jin, looked at the kneeling Ruyi: "Ruyi, is that bowl of poisoned porridge from this morning still there? Quickly go and bring it to me!"
"Thirteenth Brother, that bowl of porridge... was later taken away by Su Yin from the Palace Punishment Department," Ruyi replied.
Xiao Shisan was taken aback.
Could it be that the Palace Punishment Department took it to be tested for poison?
At this time.
With a half-smile, Eunuch Wei walked up to Murong Yuhe and took out a piece of Xuan paper from his sleeve.
I offer it with both hands.
"Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort."
"This old servant has had people inquire about it, and that bowl of porridge was indeed poisoned."
"Furthermore, the Palace Punishment Department has conducted a thorough investigation, with both witness testimonies and physical evidence. Please take a look; this is the certificate issued by the Palace Punishment Department—"
talking.
Eunuch Wei handed the Xuan paper to Murong Yuhe.
Murong Yuhe took the Xuan paper with her delicate hand, glanced at it briefly, and then threw it in front of Liu Jin, who was kneeling.
"You lackey, take a look for yourself."
"Is your son Liu Yuhe plotting to murder the Empress?!"
Liu Jin was terrified. He picked up the Xuan paper to examine it, his hands trembling.
"Oh dear... that beast, Liu Yuhe! He actually tried to poison the Empress! He almost ruined the Left Prime Minister's grand plan!!"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
Did it ruin the Left Prime Minister's grand plan?
What grand plan?
Could it be that treasure map?
Xiao Shisan was puzzled.
No one had ever explained the treasure map to him in detail before.
He had overheard the Empress and Ruyi talking several times.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us! Your Majesty, please forgive us!"
Liu Jin was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed to Murong Yuhe: "It's this old servant's fault for not keeping a close eye on Liu Yu and that beast!"
Murong Yuhe's beautiful face turned away, her expression cold and aloof: "You should apologize to Xiao Shisan, not to me."
Liu Jin, who was kneeling, paused for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Xiao Shisan: "Chief Steward Xiao, I have wronged you, please don't take offense! Liu Yuhe deserved to die, you did the right thing!"
Xiao Shisan coughed twice: "It's all a misunderstanding... Let it go, let it go!"
Although Liu Jin apologized, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Steward Xiao, for not holding it against me."
Murong Yuhe's beautiful eyes widened.
"Get out!"
"Considering that you worked for my uncle, the Left Prime Minister, I will not hold it against you."
"But you must remember, as long as I am the Imperial Noble Consort, you will always be a slave. If you dare to disrespect your superiors, I will never let you off easily."
"Yes, yes!"
Liu Jin quickly got up.
When leaving.
He glared fiercely at Xiao Shisan. No matter what, Liu Yuhe was still Liu Jinqian's son.
Liu Jin remembered this debt...
Xiao Shisan narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he and this sissy had completely formed a grudge.
Damn it, I need to find a way to get rid of this eunuch traitor right away!
After Liu Jin and his men left.
"Alright, Xiao Shisan...you must be terrified, right?" Murong Yuhe raised the corners of her lips and gave him a charming smile.
Xiao Shisan chuckled and said, "With Your Majesty here, this servant has nothing to fear!"
Nice words are free anyway.
Murong Yuhe's smile widened: "You've got a silver tongue. Let's go to Chuxiu Palace later, I... love having you serve me."
"Hehe, yes!"
Xiao Shisan smiled.
That's all!
Murong Yuhe swayed gracefully, leading everyone away from this place, her beautiful figure leaving a lingering fragrance...
But Eunuch Wei stayed behind and, along with Xiao Shisan and the others, bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness!"
Murong Yuhe's figure disappeared in front of the palace gate.
Xiao Shisan pulled Eunuch Wei aside and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Wei, what exactly is this treasure map?"
Eunuch Wei sighed.
"We were just about to tell you that."
"I once told the Left Chancellor Li Sidao that if we met a clever little eunuch, he might be able to trick the Empress into giving us the fragments of the treasure map."
"So, your coming to serve at Changchun Palace was actually the Left Prime Minister's idea."
Xiao Shisan nodded: "Then what is a treasure map?"
Eunuch Wei chuckled: "A treasure map? Hmph, it's said to be something left by the last emperor of the previous dynasty to his descendants."
"Legend has it that whoever obtains that treasure can restore the kingdom! The Empress's Pei family has one copy, the Left Prime Minister has one copy, and the whereabouts of the other fragments are unknown."
"The Left Chancellor, Li Sidao, once killed Empress Pei's entire family, but he couldn't get any information out of them. It's likely that only Her Majesty the Empress knows about the Pei family's share."
Xiao Shisan suddenly understood upon hearing this!
No wonder Liu Jin said that Liu Yuhe almost ruined the Left Chancellor's important affairs!
Now, even the Empress knows about the fragments of the treasure map hidden in the Pei family.
If he were poisoned, wouldn't it be impossible to find the remaining fragments of the treasure map?
"Xiao Shisan, you only need to know about this. You don't need to ask the Empress about the treasure map, lest she suspect your motives."
"Your top priority should be to have children with the Empress and the other concubines as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this!
Xiao Shisan is funny.
It's pretty cool not having to bother looking for treasure maps and having to do all the other things.
"I see!"
"Eunuch Wei, you're not sincerely helping the Left Prime Minister find the treasure map... You're two-faced!" Xiao Shisan exclaimed after a moment's thought.
"Be careful what you say!"
Eunuch Wei's eyes widened, and he quickly looked around.
"Alright, get ready. You can go to the Imperial Noble Consort's place now. I'm leaving."
"By the way, did Zhang Dehai, the head eunuch of Cining Palace, give you any trouble?"
If Zhang Dehai hadn't been mentioned, Xiao Shisan would have almost forgotten about him.
However, Zhang Dehai hasn't come looking for trouble yet.
"not yet!"
Xiao Shisan grinned: "Don't be afraid if they come looking for me, I have the Imperial Noble Consort's jade token."
Eunuch Wei nodded.
Without saying much, he left with a furrowed brow...
Seeing Eunuch Wei leave, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and went to greet him.
"Thirteenth Brother, you scared me to death just now."
"That eunuch Liu Jin, with his Imperial Guards and his menacing demeanor..." Ruyi felt a wave of fear.
"It's alright, I already said it's a small matter!" Xiao Shisan chuckled to himself. With the Imperial Noble Consort backing him up, how could he be bullied?
However, I was able to gain the favor of the Imperial Noble Consort thanks to how well I served her!
I talked to Ruyi for a while.
Ruyi also asked Xiao Shisan how he was managing to appease the Empress, saying that the Empress hadn't spoken to her in a long time.
I'd never pay you any attention. If you were to treat me like a lover, the Empress would naturally be jealous!
Xiao Shisan suppressed a laugh, comforted Ruyi, and told her to wait in the palace courtyard.
then.
He then approached the palace gate and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry with Ruyi anymore. Don't worry, I'll only be your partner, not with anyone else..."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who...who's angry with Ruyi?" Empress Pei's voice was filled with anger. "Go to Chuxiu Palace now, I don't want to talk to you."
Xiao Shisan shook his head and smiled, then his expression turned serious.
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"Your confinement won't last long. I'll find a way to deal with Liu Jin, and even the Left Chancellor Li Sidao!!"
"I already know that you and the Left Prime Minister have a deep-seated hatred between you."
"I went to Consort Xian's place... well, nothing really happened. Consort Xian likes poetry, so we just... just studied some poems and songs."
"However, I've noticed that Consort Xian looks down on people; she seems quite disdainful of me."
"Your Majesty, you never like it when I hold you. I guess you look down on me, after all, I'm just a lowly eunuch..."
"Your Majesty, I'm going to see the Imperial Noble Consort now."
That's all!
Xiao Shisan's lips curled into a wicked smile as he walked towards the palace gate...
Inside the hall!
Pei Ruohan sat on the large pearwood chair, her demeanor dignified, her exquisite face slightly lowered. Listening to the fading footsteps outside, a lump formed in her throat, and she murmured to herself, her voice trembling with emotion:
"You scoundrel, who has ever looked down on you?!"
...
They left the palace.
Just as Xiao Shisan was heading towards Chuxiu Palace, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him from the palace alley. She was wearing a pink dress and had her hair tied in a maid's bun!
It turned out to be Su Yin.
"Steward Xiao!"
Su Yin, her pure and pretty face beaming with joy, walked over: "My master wants you to go to the Palace Punishment Department when you have time. He says he needs to speak with you. Are you free now?"
Xiao Shisan was always delighted to see Suyin.
Xiao Shisan grinned: "Miss Suyin, I'm busy right now, I have to go to Chuxiu Palace... By the way, Suyin, about that old eunuch Xiao Shizhong..."
"No, don't ask me! My master forbids me from talking about palace secrets!" Su Yin's face turned red.
Han Shanggong is very strict, and the little girl is terrified of her master!
Upon seeing this!
Xiao Shisan didn't make things difficult: "Alright, I'll go to the Imperial Noble Consort's Palace first, and then I'll go to your master's later!"
"Okay!" Su Yin blushed. "Then, Steward Xiao, I'll be going now."
Looking at Su Yin's charming back, Xiao Shisan clicked his tongue in admiration, "This girl, how wonderful it would be if she were my wife!"
But why did her master, Han Meijun, want to see me? Is she really itching for a fight again?
Recalling the two times—once with a ruler and once with a feather duster to spank Han Meijun—Xiao Shisan chuckled, humming a little tune, and walked towards Chuxiu Palace…
Palace Punishment Department.
In the main house.
Han Meijun sat on the pear blossom chair with a cold and serious expression, her delicate hand supporting her forehead, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Ever since she heard from Qin Keqing that Xiao Shisan was a man, she had been feeling uneasy.
I'm torn. Should I go to the evacuation room and confront them about this, or keep it a secret for now?
Gradually, her eyes closed, and she actually fell asleep. Through her hazy vision, she saw Xiao Shisan, his upper body bare and his muscles clearly defined, walking towards her with a wicked grin...
"Hehe, Lady Han, let's have a son!"
As Xiao Shisan loosened his belt and slowly walked over, her heart pounded: "Xiao Shisan, you, don't come any closer... Oh, can't you be a little gentler...?"
a long time!
"Master? What's wrong? Why are you breathing so heavily?"
In my ear, I heard Su Yin's delicate voice!
Swish!
Han Meijun woke up instantly, her face flushed crimson, looking exceptionally beautiful.
She opened her beautiful eyes and saw the pretty Su Yin beside her, only then realizing that she had just had a dream.
Her eyes dimmed, and she seemed lost in thought.
"fine!"
Han Meijun's expression turned cold and aloof, regaining its usual seriousness: "Has Xiao Shisan arrived?"
Su Yin pouted her rosy lips: "Master, Steward Xiao said he has to go to Chuxiu Palace and won't be back until later."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. If he comes, let him see me alone!" Han Meijun said.
"Um!"
Su Yin nodded.
...
Chuxiu Palace, the sleeping quarters of the Imperial Noble Consort.
"Oh, Steward Xiao, you've arrived."
"Her Imperial Noble Consort said that if you come, you can go straight in!" Chief Steward Wu of Chuxiu Palace said, bowing and scraping.
"Hehe, no problem, no problem!"
Xiao Shisan arrived at the palace gate.
I just pushed open the palace door.
Then a soft, seductive voice came from inside: "Xiao Shisan, you've arrived... Come quickly to my bed..."
Xiao Shisan's lips curled into a smile.
That's pretty exciting!
Oh dear, should I reveal my identity as a man this time?
