Chapter 12 The beautiful female official Han Meijun and the pretty little palace maid Suyin!
Xiao Shisan was about to turn around and thank the Imperial Noble Consort…
moment!
Then a beautiful and mature female official, dressed in a red palace robe and wearing a double-winged official hat, came gracefully.
She had a fair, oval face, crescent-shaped eyebrows, and lowered, sword-like eyes... giving off a respectful yet stunningly beautiful and aloof aura.
"There are so many beautiful women in this palace!" Xiao Shisan stared, stunned.
Behind the female official was a group of eunuchs with their eyes slightly lowered, and beside her stood a palace maid with bright eyes and white teeth.
The lady-in-waiting gracefully clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, gave a slight bow, and a subtle fragrance wafted from her sleeves.
"Han Meijun of the Palace Punishment Department greets Her Majesty the Empress."
Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe glanced sideways with her phoenix eyes: "Isn't this Han Shanggong of the Palace Punishments Department? What are you doing at Changchun Palace?"
Han Shanggong responded respectfully and calmly.
"Your Majesty!"
"This servant heard from Steward Liu that two eunuchs have gone missing from Changchun Palace, so I came here to investigate."
Manager Liu's face was already swollen like a pig's head, and upon hearing this, he quickly looked up.
"Your Majesty, this servant suspects that Xiao Shisan killed those two eunuchs and then hid them in Changchun Palace."
"Therefore, we sent the Palace Punishment Bureau to investigate... Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, let the Palace Punishment Bureau search us!"
Xiao Shisan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Hmph, this castrated dog, he still wants to kill me?!
"Oh?"
Murong Yuhe looked at Xiao Shisan with her beautiful face full of doubt: "Xiao Shisan, is this true? This is a matter of life and death. If this is true, I cannot protect you."
Currently, although Murong Yuhe has feelings for him, it is only feelings, not yet to the point of complete doting.
But even if this is true, so what?
Those two eunuchs have long since turned to dust!
Xiao Shisan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this Chief Eunuch Liu is spouting nonsense. If you don't believe me, just let the Palace Criminal Division investigate."
Murong Yuhe nodded slightly and said sternly to Han Meijun, "Then, Han Shanggong, you can investigate further."
"yes!"
Han Meijun glanced at her personal maidservant beside her: "Suyin! Take the eunuchs and go investigate. Remember, do not disturb Her Majesty the Empress."
"Yes, ma'am."
Suyin?
This little palace maid has a rather nice name, doesn't she?
Xiao Shisan then noticed the sixteen or seventeen-year-old palace maid next to Han Meijun.
I noticed she had a pair of large, bright, black, gem-like eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy lips…
Her face is fair and delicate, and she looks very innocent!
"You, come with me..." Su Yin glanced over unintentionally and saw Xiao Shisan's staring gaze.
She quickly pursed her lips, looking shy, and with her head down, timidly led a group of eunuchs towards the side hall of the palace...
Damn, this girl's eyes can even sparkle!
Xiao Shisan felt a sudden jolt in his heart when Su Yin glanced at him, experiencing a hazy feeling reminiscent of encountering his first love.
next moment!
Xiao Shisan then saw Murong Yuhe and glared at the kneeling Chief Eunuch Liu: "Chief Eunuch Liu! If you can't find those two eunuchs later, don't blame me for punishing you!"
"Your Majesty, there's absolutely no mistake, they're definitely in Changchun Palace!" Steward Liu hurriedly said, tilting his swollen, pig-like face upwards. "Moreover, it's possible that Xiao Shisan killed them."
Chief Steward Liu was quite certain, because it was impossible for anyone to leave the Changchun Palace without alerting his spies!
Xiao Shisan feigned anger: "Steward Liu, how dare you make false accusations?"
"Alright, you'll find out soon enough!"
Murong Yuhe said calmly, "Xiao Shisan, as long as you didn't do it, I will not allow you to be wrongly accused."
Done.
Murong Yuhe raised her red lips slightly and gave Xiao Shisan a charming smile, exuding a captivating and alluring aura.
Damn, she's trying to seduce me again!
I'll get you sooner or later!
"Thank you for your decision, Your Majesty."
After thanking him, Xiao Shisan thought to himself, "In this palace, you really can't get by without a powerful backer."
It seems I'll have to go to Chuxiu Palace later and make Murong Yuhe feel comfortable...
correct!
Last time she said, "I wish I weren't a eunuch?"
You can give her to me, I'll do anything?
Holy crap?
I don't know if it's true or not!
Xiao Shisan's gaze unconsciously drifted to the jade-like legs that were faintly visible beneath the skirt of Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe, and he couldn't help but swallow hard, already imagining all sorts of positions in his mind...
quickly!
The palace maid Suyin arrived with a group of eunuchs.
Then, Su Yin whispered a few words to Han Meijun, who had a cold expression, and then gracefully stepped back a few steps and stood to the side.
At this moment, Han Meijun walked over and bowed to Murong Yuhe: "Your Highness, we have been unable to find those two eunuchs!"
I bet you won't find it either!
Xiao Shisan's lips curled into a smug smile.
Swish!
Murong Yuhe instantly turned to the shocked Steward Liu: "Steward Liu, what else do you have to say?!"
"Impossible, impossible!"
Steward Liu was incredulous and panicked: "Then...how could those two perfectly healthy people just disappear like that? How could they possibly vanish into thin air from Changchun Palace?"
At this time.
Han Meijun, who was standing to one side, could tell that the Imperial Noble Consort was intentionally protecting Xiao Shisan.
Han Meijun simply went along with it, doing him a favor, and explained humbly.
"Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort!"
"In the past, some eunuchs, unable to endure the hardships of palace life, took a chance and scaled the palace walls to escape... Such things have happened!"
Murong Yuhe nodded slightly, her phoenix eyes falling on Steward Liu: "You dog of a servant? Did you hear me?!"
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me!" Steward Liu hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Spare you?
If I spare you, won't you just kill me?
Seeing this, Xiao Shisan quickly feigned grievance and said to Murong Yuhe, "Your Majesty, please help this servant! This servant has been wronged."
Murong Yuhe raised her water sleeves, waved her hand gently, and then looked down at Steward Liu.
"You dog of a lackey, you spread rumors and falsely accuse people, you should not be let off lightly."
"But out of respect for the monk, out of respect for the Buddha, and considering you are the adopted son of Liu Jin of the Western Depot... Lady Han, give this man thirty heavy lashes. Whether he lives or dies is up to his own fate!!!"
Han Meijun bowed respectfully in response.
"ah?!"
Manager Liu was terrified.
Xiao Shisan was overjoyed. Thirty heavy blows would surely cripple him, if not kill him!
Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe glanced at the Empress's tightly closed palace doors, her beautiful eyes flashing with complex emotions, and she sighed softly from her cherry-like lips.
"I'm going back to Chuxiu Palace now!"
"Thirteen, come to me later—"
Then, her elegant figure in her pale yellow palace dress, accompanied by her maids, walked out of the Changchun Palace gates, leaving behind a lingering fragrance...
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Imperial Noble Consort!" Xiao Shisan and the others hurriedly bowed and called out.
Once the Imperial Noble Consort had left, Han Meijun's cold eyes swept over the eunuchs: "Come on, drag Chief Eunuch Liu away!!"
"ah!!"
As Steward Liu was dragged away, he roared and turned back to shout at Xiao Shisan with heart-wrenching grief.
"Xiao Shisan!"
"You'd better hope I'm dead. If I don't, one day you'll be left with no place to bury your body!"
"My godfather, Liu Jin, the Grand Eunuch, will not let you get away with this either!!!"
Won't you let me go?
Oh shit!
It seems this fellow must be eliminated to prevent future trouble.
Xiao Shisan's lips curled into a smile: "Alright, we'll see!"
"Suyin, let's go." Han Meijun was about to leave with the pure and lovely palace maid beside her.
Xiao Shisan hurriedly caught up: "Hey, hey, hey... Lady Han, wait!"
Han Meijun stood regally, her face cold, and turned around, her eyes slightly raised, revealing her captivating, unadorned face:
"Steward Xiao, is there anything else?"
Steward Xiao?
Oh right, I'm practically the manager now!
Oh dear, I've been promoted, and it's really hard to get used to it!
Xiao Shisan chuckled.
"Han Shanggong!"
"Could you arrange for someone to kill that Steward Liu?"
"Ideally, it should be a blow that hits the flesh. Humph, I won't be satisfied until this scoundrel is eliminated."
"Don't worry, if I, Xiao Shisan, become successful in the future, you'll benefit greatly. I'll even find you some handsome young eunuchs to be your 'partner'!"
puff!
Han Shanggong had a cold and beautiful face, and her eyes were as calm as autumn water.
But Su Yin, who was beside her, found Xiao Shisan's words amusing and quickly covered her mouth and smiled.
But when she saw Han Shanggong's imposing gaze, Su Yin, the little girl, gasped in fright and quickly lowered her head as if she had done something wrong...
Han Shanggong snorted coldly, then parted her red lips and said seriously to Xiao Shisan:
"Palace rules strictly forbid using public office for private revenge. I apologize, but I cannot agree to Steward Xiao's request! Farewell—"
Done.
Han Shanggong left with Suyin.
Oh?
This Han Meijun is really businesslike, without a shred of human touch!
As they left the palace.
Xiao Shisan's keen ears caught Han Meijun scolding Su Yin: "You were really rude just now! What were you laughing at when that eunuch was talking? Go back and receive your punishment!"
Su Yin's tearful voice reached Xiao Shisan's ears: "I know I was wrong, Master. Tonight I will kneel on a plate for an hour. If the plate breaks, I will kneel for another hour."
"Um!!"
Han Meijun responded.
Upon hearing this...
Xiao Shisan felt a pang of unease. So Suyin was her disciple? Damn it, what a lovely and innocent girl, and she had to suffer like this!
That Han Meijun is beautiful, but she has absolutely no humanity.
"Xiao Shisan!"
"The Imperial Noble Consort requests your presence at Chuxiu Palace. Go immediately without hesitation."
"To avoid upsetting her, she's the only one who can protect you now!!"
Empress Pei Ruohan's dignified and majestic voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Shisan came to his senses.
Look around.
next moment.
In the palace courtyard, a whole group of people had already knelt down.
The dignified and elegant Empress Pei Ruohan, dressed in a red palace gown and wearing white jade high heels, had been standing in front of the palace gate, gazing in this direction for some time now.
Beautiful, elegant, and radiant!
Pei Ruohan had just witnessed this and now greatly admired Xiao Shisan's abilities.
This kid is really clever to be able to use the Imperial Noble Consort to punish Steward Liu!
Even Ruyi, standing beside her, had a delighted smile on her pretty face.
Clearly, they must have discovered everything that happened outside inside the palace.
"Hehe, yes sir."
"Your Majesty, I'll go to the Imperial Noble Consort's place right now!!"
That's all!
Xiao Shisan hurriedly ran towards the palace gate.
Now no one dared to stop Xiao Shisan.
The eunuchs at the gate were so frightened that they hurriedly clasped their hands in greeting.
Xiao Shisan chuckled inwardly, wondering if he could win over the Imperial Noble Consort on his trip to Chuxiu Palace.
What would happen if the Imperial Noble Consort found out I was a fake eunuch?
As soon as Xiao Shisan stepped out of the Changchun Palace gate, he heard Ruyi's sharp rebuke from inside the palace courtyard.
"ah!!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Thirteenth Brother, come back quickly! Her Majesty the Empress has fainted!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shisan's eyes widened, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly ran back...
