Chapter 36 Night has fallen, and the beauty waits patiently!
"Hehe, Your Majesty, didn't you say you were tired?"
Xiao Shisan removed her white jade high heels: "If you're tired, rest. Let me help you take off your shoes and your palace dress..."
Empress Pei: "..."
Are you helping someone?
She was too embarrassed to point out Xiao Shisan's mistake!
moment!
Her white jade high heels were removed, revealing her fair and delicate feet to Xiao Shisan.
He gave her a big kiss on the back of her fair foot.
"Those feet are so beautiful!"
"Hey, Xiao Shisan, you pervert—"
"Pfft! What did you call me?"
"Husband, husband...stop fooling around! I can undress myself. Hurry up and get out of here. I don't want anyone to know you're a man!"
The atmosphere inside the hall was ambiguous and joyful...
Night had fallen.
The palace lanterns were all lit.
Xiao Shisan asked Ruyi to serve him dinner, and then he had dinner with Ruyi and the Empress in the palace before thinking of returning to his residence, Peach Blossom Studio.
During this time, Xiao Shisan didn't even help Han Meijun inquire about the treasure map from the Empress.
Firstly, if he inquired about it, the Empress would become wary of him, which would affect his relationship with the Empress.
Secondly, Han Meijun is currently under control!
So this matter isn't urgent!
The urgent matter is—how to bring down the powerful minister Li Sidao and help the Empress seize power!
Lost in thought the whole way.
Walking along the palace alley.
Xiao Shisan then remembered Uncle Xiao's matter and decided to go to Han Meijun's residence.
After all, he had told Han Meijun that he would see her later.
but!
Passing by the gate of the Peach Blossom Abode where I live, I smelled the scent of a stranger in my own courtyard.
And it seems there are quite a few people.
Upon closer inspection, the courtyard gate was actually open!
Xiao Shisan was greatly surprised.
Upon arriving at the gate and seeing the scene in the courtyard, I was startled. My first thought was that Liu Jin had brought his men.
And there it was!
Several Imperial Guards with swords hanging at their waists stood in the courtyard!
Eunuch Wei was talking to a eunuch dressed in a black python robe in his brightly lit main room.
The eunuch in the black python robe was a bit fat, with small eyes... and looked similar to the comedian Song Xiaofeng!
But he had a gloomy expression as he listened to Eunuch Wei speak.
"Who are you?"
The Imperial Guards, alert and with serious expressions, stepped forward to ask the question.
Depend on?
This is my residence. You ask who I am?
Xiao Shisan found it amusing: "I am Xiao Shisan!"
The Imperial Guard was taken aback and hurriedly called out towards the main hall, "Chief Supervisor Cao, Xiao Shisan has returned."
Chief Supervisor Cao?
Xiao Shisan was secretly alarmed. Could it be Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the Eastern Depot?
"Xiao Shisan, why are you only just getting back?"
"Chief Supervisor Cao, we've been waiting for you for a long time. Come in and greet Chief Supervisor Cao." In the main room, Eunuch Wei stood up and called out in a high-pitched voice.
Cao Zhengchun, what do you want with me?
Xiao Shisan was a little puzzled, but he responded with a smile and went into the main room.
Eunuch Wei quickly gestured towards Cao Zhengchun with his chin and gave Xiao Shisan a wink.
Xiao Shisan understood, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cao Zhengchun, who was leisurely sipping tea, and smiled: "So you are Supervisor Cao, truly, seeing is believing. My apologies for my rudeness!"
Xiao Shisan, that kid, speaks in a pleasant tone and knows how to get things done!
Cao Zhengchun put down his cup and glanced at him sideways: "You killed Liu Jin's godson, Liu Yuhe, didn't you?"
"That's right!"
"The main problem is that Liu Yuhe is too arrogant. He even tried to poison the Empress. I, Xiao Shisan, am the head steward of Changchun Palace. How can I let him live?" Xiao Shisan said.
This Xiao Shisan is indeed a newborn calf, unafraid of tigers!
Cao Zhengchun nodded in satisfaction.
He stood up and said:
"Let me be frank with you about my purpose! My inside information tells me that Liu Jin wants to kill you! Of course, it's also possible that Liu Jin himself is coming with his men."
Swish!
Xiao Shisan opened his eyes.
That castrated dog really didn't give up!
Cao Zhengchun smiled.
"I am the head of the Eastern Depot, while Liu Jin is from the Western Depot. I have always maintained a facade of harmony with Liu Jin while harboring a deep-seated grudge."
"Xiao Shisan, if you can kill Liu Jin, it will also benefit me."
Done.
Cao Zhengchun reached into his pocket and pulled out something that resembled a wristband but was wrapped in a small bamboo tube.
Pass it on here!
"This is a hidden blade, poisoned! Take it for self-defense!" Cao Zhengchun said.
Eunuch Wei hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to accept it and thank Supervisor Cao?"
Xiao Shisan accepted it and was about to express his gratitude...
Cao Zhengchun seemed to dislike listening to nonsense, and waved his hand dismissively.
"No need for thanks, I'm just looking out for my own interests."
"Xiao Shisan, if you can kill Liu Jin, you will have rendered a great service. I will speak to the Prime Minister and have you appointed as the Director of the Western Depot!"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
I rely on?
If I kill Liu Jin, can I become the head of the Western Depot?
Suddenly he became a factory manager?
Bah! You're a damn eunuch! I'm a man!
"Alright, I've said my piece..." Cao Zhengchun stepped out of the main room and shouted, "Let's go!"
With a forced smile, Eunuch Wei said, "I'll see it off..."
"No need!"
Cao Zhengchun didn't turn his head and responded coldly.
Watching Cao Zhengchun's retreating figure, Eunuch Wei's smile quickly faded, and he let out a sinister snort.
Xiao Shisan smiled and said, "This is great! If I kill Liu Jin, I can become the Grand Eunuch."
Eunuch Wei sneered, glancing at him, "You think it's that simple? Cao Zhengchun is using you as bait, manipulating you. Even if you become the head of the Western Depot, he'll still find you easier to control than Liu Jin!"
Xiao Shisan smiled.
"How could I not see it? But either way, it's an opportunity. Why would I be the one looking for something easy?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei nodded with relief, thankfully thinking that he wasn't stupid after all!
Xiao Shisan asked curiously, "Liu Jin, will he really come in person?"
Eunuch Wei sneered.
"Liu Yuhe was raised by Liu Jin from a young age. He had a deep affection for Liu Yuhe and always treated him like his own son."
"Therefore, Liu Jin would rather kill you with his own hands to avenge Liu Yuhe."
"But don't be afraid, we live next door. If any assassins come, we'll help you."
Seeing that Eunuch Wei was about to leave.
Xiao Shisan glanced under the bed, recalling the treasure trove of gold and silver he had discovered, and casually asked:
"Eunuch Wei, who lived in this house before?"
Eunuch Wei didn't even turn his head.
"If a eunuch surnamed Wang were alive today, he would probably be eighty or ninety years old."
"In the past, Eunuch Wang, relying on the emperor's favor, became arrogant and committed a grave mistake. The late emperor wanted to execute him, but he later escaped from the palace with the help of the Empress Dowager!"
Xiao Shisan chuckled inwardly.
No wonder!
It seems that the gold and silver jewelry under the bed was something he didn't have time to take with him?
Hehe, this is a good deal for me, Xiao Shisan!
"By the way, the sleeve darts are always worn properly. There's a string on them; just pull it, and the poisoned darts will be fired all at once," Eunuch Wei added.
Xiao Shisan replied with a smile, "Okay!"
They saw Eunuch Wei leave the courtyard.
Xiao Shisan was about to go to Han Meijun's place in the front yard, determined to win over Han Shanggong tonight!
If I get closer to Han Shanggong, I might be able to find out about Uncle Xiao Shizhong.
After deciding on this idea.
Xiao Shisan then left the courtyard...
...
The moonlight was bright and clear.
forecourt.
In the sleeping room.
Han Meijun was wearing a beige chiffon nightgown, the chiffon as thin as a cicada's wing, her long, slender legs faintly visible through the hem.
Some of her dark hair was damp and hung down to her waist.
Tall and slender, with a captivating back view!
She stood by the window, her voluptuous figure tilted back, her mature and beautiful face upturned as she glanced at the sky outside.
I remembered that Xiao Shisan was supposed to come tonight, but he hasn't arrived yet.
I'm afraid he's not coming.
Thinking of this, Han Meijun's eyes dimmed, she bit her red lips tightly, and closed the window with her delicate hand.
"Master!"
A soft, soothing voice called from outside, "Steward Xiao is here!"
Instantly!
Han Meijun's eyes lit up, then she took a few breaths and said authoritatively, "Xiao Shisan, coming so late must be urgent. Let him come!"
"good!"
A voice responded from outside.
Recalling that absurd dream about Xiao Shisan, Han Meijun's heart raced and her breathing became rapid...
She lowered her gaze slightly, glanced at the ruler on the windowsill, picked it up, and placed it in front of the dressing mirror closest to the bed.
Then, she intended to sit down in front of the couch.
But remembering that the external injury on her buttocks hadn't healed yet, she abandoned the idea and chose to stand in front of the bed, anxiously waiting for Xiao Shisan...
