Dafeng's Night Squad

The little eunuch slowly explained according to the list. Emperor Yuan jing was silent, his eyes dark. No one knew if he was listening carefully or thinking of something else.

the last person on the list is from the jingxiu Palace, the head Palace maid of the Imperial consort. Lord Xu brought this servant to question her, but the door was closed.

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan jing’s frozen eyes moved, as if his attention was pulled back.

“Xu Daren had no choice but to go to Shao Yin Palace to find His Highness Lin an for help ...”

Xu Qi ‘an’s words appeared in the eunuch’s mind. He said naturally, ” after asking lang ‘er from the scenic beauty Palace, Lord Xu’s expression turned extremely ugly. It seemed like he didn’t want to stay any longer. He didn’t even drink the tea and left in a hurry with this servant ...

but before he could leave jingxiu Palace, lang ‘er came back and said that the Imperial concubine had invited Lord Xu to the courtyard to thank him for solving the case of Consort Fu. Lord Xu didn’t want to see him at first, but lang’ er forced him to stay. The young eunuch paused for a moment and continued, ”

after that, the Imperial consort dismissed everyone. I was not allowed to enter the house and could only wait in the courtyard ...

“Wait!”

Emperor Yuan jing’s eyes regained their liveliness. He interrupted the young eunuch and stared at him. After a few seconds of silence, he said slowly, “”Dismiss everyone?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What did they say in the courtyard?”

I was too far away, ” the young eunuch replied. I couldn’t hear you clearly. I could only watch from afar as Lord Xu and the Imperial consort conversed.

Emperor Yuan jing put his right hand to his lips and pondered. Suddenly, he said, ” you said that Xu Qi ‘an’s face turned pale after he asked lang’ er? ”

Without waiting for the young eunuch to reply, the old eunuch’s expression changed slightly as he rebuked, “”You dog, what did I teach you?”

When reporting, do not mix in any subjective emotions. Do not try to mislead His Majesty. Be fair and objective.

Emperor Yuan jing raised his hand and interrupted the angry old eunuch.

Seeing this, the little eunuch had some confidence.”It is indeed very ugly.”

Emperor Yuan jing nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, “”Xu Qi ‘an wanted to leave, but lang’ er forced him to stay?”

“....... That’s right,”

The young eunuch noticed that Emperor Yuan jing’s attitude had changed. He said carefully, “”Lord Xu said that he was investigating a case by imperial edict, and that his duty was to carry out.

“Lang ‘er said that if Lord Xu doesn’t go see the Empress, he won’t be able to walk out of jingxiu Palace.”

Hearing this, Emperor yuanjing’s eyes seemed to burst with light. This time, he thought for a long time. The sleeping Palace was eerily quiet. The two eunuchs, one old and one young, held their breaths, afraid of disturbing the unfathomable Emperor.

Finally, Emperor Yuan jing slowly said,”when Xu Qi. an left ...” How are you feeling?”

Xu Qi ‘an had told him this before he left, but the young eunuch didn’t answer immediately. He pretended to think for a while, then said, ”

“Lord Xu has left the palace with a heavy heart.”

To increase his credibility, he added, “”In the past, when you left the palace, Lord Xu would always chat with this servant, beaming with joy. But today is different. You didn’t say a single word.”

Emperor Yuan jing waved his hand.

“You may leave.” The old eunuch immediately said.

After the young eunuch left the chamber, Emperor Yuan jing sat for a long time without saying a word. “Go and bring lang ‘er from the jingxiu Palace to me.”

The old eunuch responded and left the chamber slowly.

.........

The old eunuch led a group of guards and, in the afterglow of the setting sun, passed through layers of Palace walls and arrived at jingxiu Palace.

The eunuch guarding the door recognized the emperor’s companion from afar and went up to him. “Eunuch Liu, please wait a moment. This servant will go and inform the Imperial consort ...”

“I’m in a hurry.” The old eunuch slapped him away and entered the courtyard with his guards. After passing through the front courtyard, they heard a burst of crying coming from the inner courtyard.

The old eunuch stood in the inner courtyard and shouted, “”Imperial consort, this old servant requests an audience.”

A Palace maid with slightly red eyes came out of noble Consort Chen’s room and said in a soft voice, “”The Empress invites you in.”

The old eunuch followed the palace maid into the room. He saw noble Consort Chen sitting on the large chair, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand and wiping her eyes from time to time, her face full of sorrow.

“What’s the matter with the Empress?” The old eunuch asked in surprise.

“Bengong had a servant who suddenly fell ill and died. The imperial physician couldn’t save him.” Noble Consort Chen said sorrowfully.

“This ...” “Your Highness, I’m sorry for your loss. What’s the name of that Palace maid?” the old eunuch consoled her.

“Lang ‘er,”

“!!!”The old eunuch’s expression froze.

“What is the purpose of your visit to my jingxiu Palace?” Said noble Consort Chen softly.

The old eunuch forced a smile. His Majesty has sent this old servant to comfort you, Your Majesty. His Majesty knows that Your Majesty has been worried and frightened these days.

Noble Consort Chen turned her head away and said sorrowfully, “”Your Majesty, you can’t even meet this Minister’s concubine?”

The old eunuch laughed drily and didn’t comment on the Imperial consort’s complaints.

He chatted with the Imperial concubine for a while and said casually, “”That lang ‘er must be quite young,”

Although lang ‘er was an old man in jingxiu Palace, Emperor yuanjing had not visited the consort for more than ten or twenty years, so the old eunuch did not have much impression of this Palace maid who had unfortunately passed away.

“A pitiful child.” Noble Consort Chen’s face was sorrowful.

“Let’s go and take a look,” the old eunuch said.

He also had another identity, the chief of internal affairs, which was in charge of the eunuchs and Palace maids in the Imperial Palace. However, this identity was an empty title that he had brought with him as Emperor yuanjing’s companion.

The Deputy General Manager was the real person in power.
