Chapter 721 The Eunuch
Chapter 721 The Eunuch
The eyes of the two meet in the air.
In the end, it was Xia Yichu who spoke and broke the stalemate between the two.
"Then, Xia, thank you father-in-law first..."
The two walked out side by side.
Jin Yiwei's subordinates followed them in two rows.
Many court ladies and eunuchs with red plates saw the battle from a distance and couldn't help but look over.
What's more, the leaders are two handsome men who are well-known in this palace.
The two of them walked for a while in the palace, but neither of them took the initiative to speak.
A few Jinyiwei followed behind, and they were now circulating between their boss and this little eunuch.
What's more, he couldn't figure out when the little eunuch became friendly with their boss.
Looking ahead is the palace gate.
There was light snow in the sky.
Yuanyuan and Xia Yichu stopped almost at the same time.
Xia Yichu turned around, but was not in a hurry to speak, and glanced behind him.
The Jinyi guards were stunned for a second, and then quickly reacted, and hurriedly bowed their hands and retreated.
Xia Yichu looked at them coldly.
Before one of them left, he suddenly remembered and came back, "My lord, under the snow, you take this umbrella."
Xia Yichu glanced at the oil-paper umbrella, hesitated for a second, and then took it.
Jin Yiwei stepped aside and waited.
Xia Yichu held the umbrella with one hand, looked at the white and thin boy opposite, he took a step forward, and tipped most of the umbrella in his hand to the other party.
"Long time no see... Father-in-law, let's take a step to talk."
There was a cold smile on Yuanyuan's fair face, he didn't reject Xia Yichu, it was considered silent about his appointment.
He took the first step and went out.
Xia Yichu held an umbrella and walked side by side with him, most of the umbrella was tilted towards Yuanyuan, but half of his shoulders fell in the snow.
The Jinyiwei standing not far away all poked their heads to watch, discussing in a low voice.
"Who is this kid? Why is the lord treating him so well?"
"That's right, that's the umbrella I specially brought for my lord, and my lord actually gave him most of the umbrella!"
"I haven't heard your lord mention this character before. Besides, your lord has been working in the dark all these years, and sometimes you encounter difficulties. I haven't seen the celebrity in front of this noble concubine come to visit..."
—
The two walked in silence for a while.
A round and cold voice sounded,
"You saved me again..."
Hearing this, Xia Yichu's expression did not change, but there was a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
"Eunuch's words remind me of many years ago, but I am not the rampant reckless man many years ago."
Xia Yichu remembered that night when he rode a horse and kidnapped someone.
Of course, at that time, when he was pressed by Yuanyuan, he said everything.
It's stupid and straightforward.
"Why did you come to save me?"
Yuanyuan asked.
Xia Yichu replied: "There is nothing that can't be saved, it's just a coincidence, Master Xue sent a letter to Beijing, Lord Xue's letter is now the most important thing, His Majesty ordered Jin Yiwei to deliver it personally."
Yuanyuan stopped and looked sideways, he wanted to see a trace of lying on Xia Yichu's face.
But, no...
Today's Xia Yichu has made people unable to see what he is thinking.
Those black eyes were so deep that no one could see the deep meaning in them.
Yuanyuan said again, "The letter is fake..."
He replied: "No."
Yuanyuan said again: "You not only forged the letter, but also defrauded the emperor of a bowl of precious blood. You know, when the Dongchuang incident happened, it was the time when your Jinyiwei was washed in blood."
He replied again, "The letter is true."
Yuanyuan frowned when she heard the words, his thin lips moved slightly, and just about to say something, Xia Yichu had already spoken before him.
"Your father-in-law thinks that if I am willing to sacrifice everything for my father-in-law, I may even be punished by the nine clans, and even take the lives of my Jinyiwei brothers to go to my father-in-law?"
"Eunuch thinks, am I still the kid I used to be?"
Yuanyuan didn't speak, just stared at him.
Xia Yichu smiled and said, "Eunuch, what a coincidence, I didn't expect that the first person His Majesty would kill today would be you, if it was replaced by someone else, a palace lady or something, I'm afraid that palace lady would promise me personally."
When Yuanyuan heard this, she was amused by Xia Yichu's amusing words.
As for the speaker, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, a different emotion flashed in his eyes.
Inexplicably feel guilty.
But Yuanyuan lowered her head, saying that the Commander of Jin Yiwei had lost his composure for a second.
Yuanyuan smiled, and the moment she raised her eyes, the smile froze on her face.
His eyes fell elsewhere, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke.
"Since that's the case, Master Xia, take care!"
He turned around to leave, but his footsteps paused again, and he reached out to brush off the falling snow from Xia Yichu's shoulders.
"My lord, treat yourself better... In this world, no one is more important than yourself except yourself."
Yuanyuan's words were quite profound.
Xia Yichu looked at his back in the lonely snow, and blurted out the words without saying anything.
"What about the imperial concubine... What kind of existence is the imperial concubine to the father-in-law?"
Hearing this, Yuanyuan paused. He didn't turn around, but looked over from the side.
There was a trace of ruthlessness between his eyebrows and eyes, like a white fox in the snow, with the ruthlessness of a wolf, he said,
"She's different, she's the one I'd risk my life to protect!"
Yuanyuan only left such a sentence, and walked back to where she came from firmly.
Xia Yichu looked at his back and watched him leave until Yuanyuan's back disappeared.
Standing in the snow, he murmured, "But you are the one I risk my life to protect."
His words were scattered in the wind and snow.
Nobody knows.
Seeing Yuanyuan's figure walking past, the guards in Jinyi hurriedly set off and rushed towards Xia Yichu.
"My lord, my lord..."
Xia Yichu was still standing there.
They whispered, "My lord, I have already left, let's go back..."
Xia Yichu came back to his senses, nodded, and left.
A group of people left the palace gate.
Most of them resigned to Xia Yichu one after another, and returned to the Jinyiwei Office.
Only Xia Yichu and Yu Heng, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei who he personally selected, were left.
The two sat on the horse and walked slowly on the road.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Heng said in a low voice, "My lord, what should I do with this bowl of blood? If Imperial Physician Xue comes back, Your Majesty asks about the blood..."
Yes, the letter is fake.
The handwriting is forged.
The claim in the letter that he wants a bowl of blood from His Majesty's body is also false.
But if he didn't write like this in the letter.
How could His Majesty believe that this letter was sent by Xue Chang.
Xia Yichu didn't reply to his words.
Yu Heng sighed, looking at Xia Yichu, he just felt distressed.
"My lord, why are you doing this... that little eunuch is not worthy of an adult doing this for him!"
"My lord, you are now in your twenties. Wouldn't it be a great thing to marry a wife and have a few children, and live a life of wife and children? Why bother to be entangled with an eunuch!"
