It’s impossible not to be confused this time.

I don’t know Mrs. Wu at all, why did she suddenly summon me?

"Wait a moment."

Jumping out of the bathtub, Xu Shouyun quickly wiped his body, put on his clothes, and opened the door directly.

Sure enough, there was an eunuch standing outside the door. He had an average face, but was more youthful.

"Eunuch Xu, Concubine Wu has summoned her for something. I hope Eunuch Xu will rush there as soon as possible."

The other party spoke and reminded Xu Shouyun to hurry up.

"Why do you want me to see you, my queen?"

Xu Shouyun asked curiously, and at the same time started to follow, not daring to delay anything.

"When it comes, adults will naturally understand."

When the latter spoke up, Xu Shouyun had nothing to say, but on the way there, Xu Shouyun felt a little emotional. Except for Concubine Liu, he didn't know the other three concubines in the harem.

Concubine Wu, Concubine Zhou, and Concubine Su didn't understand them at all. The main reason was that they were too busy and didn't inquire about them carefully, and they only had a short time here.

I really don’t know what Concubine Wu wants to do with me right now.

However, although I don’t know who Mrs. Wu is, I have heard about her.

Concubine Wu is not easy to mess with either. Concubine Liu is survived by her father, the chief minister of the Wei Dynasty, so her status is quite high in the palace, and Concubine Wu is even more powerful. Her brother is the general of the dynasty, Wu Yuanlin.

The Wei Dynasty had twelve military camps, with King Yan in charge of three camps and King Ning in charge of six camps. Of the remaining three camps, the empress only commanded one camp, and the other two battalions were in the hands of Wu Yuanlin.

He was a close confidant of the late emperor and one of the strongest generals in the Wei Dynasty today.

It sounds absurd for the empress to control a battalion, but that is the fact. It is not that the late emperor was reluctant to give the barracks to her, but that the empress was unable to suppress these barracks.

Why is it said that the succession of emperors is a very turbulent thing? If it is not handled well, big things will happen easily?

It was because of the issue of the handover of military power. If the late emperor had handed over all twelve battalions to the empress, not to mention what would have happened to the three vassal kings, I am afraid that these generals alone would have some ideas.

If you don't give it to the feudal king, the trouble will be even greater. In short, the mistake lies in three things.

First, the empress is a woman, not a man. If a prince were to ascend the throne normally, there would be too much to say.

Second, the emperor's death was so sudden that he was not prepared for many things and had no time to think about it.

Third, the Wei Dynasty was in turmoil, and civil strife could not occur again, otherwise, it would really collapse.

Therefore, for various reasons and considering the overall situation, in the end, we could only wrong the empress and become a semi-puppet emperor. Although it was aggrieved, the Wei Dynasty did not subjugate. Under the checks and balances of all parties, there was still a certain chance of breathing.

Xu Shouyun is not sure whether Wu Yuanlin is a loyal minister. Anyway, he is not a traitor at the moment. But here comes the interesting thing. This is also the news that Xu Shouyun has inquired about before.

Because the late Emperor Renzong had been weak all year round and was frail and sick, he diligently reviewed memorials and handled state affairs day and night.

As a result, Renzong had no interests or hobbies very early on.

If it weren't for the sake of maintaining a man's dignity, he would not spend the night in the concubine's palace. It can be seen from one place.

That is that Renzong did not have any heirs, and he only had one in his later years, and that was the empress.

However, Xu Shouyun believed that the reason why Renzong went to the concubine's palace to spend the night was entirely because the ministers forced him to do so, rather than to protect a man's dignity.

Therefore, among the four concubines, Concubine Liu is definitely not the only one who is perfect. There are probably several more, but no one is talking about it.

Of course, this is just Xu Shouyun's speculation. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Although Xu Shouyun's surname is Xu, he does not know why he inherited Boss Cao's hobby.

This is very strange.

After a short drive, Xu Shouyun finally arrived at Lingfei Palace.

This is the residence of Concubine Wu.

Compared with the tranquility and purity of Yanfu Palace, Lingfei Palace is more noisy and grand. The eunuchs and maids alone are almost over a hundred at a glance.

This number is really terrifying. There are only about ten people in Yanfu Palace.

"Eunuch Xu, the concubine is waiting for you in the palace. I will not go there."

The eunuch who led the way opened his mouth and pointed upward.

Hearing this, Xu Shouyun felt a little nervous inexplicably, but he didn't dare to hesitate and walked up.

There were eunuchs guarding both sides of the stairs. When they arrived outside the palace gate, Xu Shouyun couldn't help but speak, breaking the silence.

"My subordinate, Xu Shouyun, pays homage to the Dowager Empress. May the Empress be blessed and safe."

Xu Shouyun called himself a subordinate as always, but he couldn't pronounce the word "servant".

The hall was brightly lit, but also unusually quiet. As Xu Shouyun's voice sounded, a slightly lazy voice also sounded.

"Come in."

The voice sounded very charming, and once it was heard, people couldn't help but think about it. After swallowing, Xu Shouyun walked in with his head lowered.

However, Xu Shouyun was very conscious. After walking in, he waited outside the screen.

"Your Majesty, what's the urgent matter to summon this subordinate?"

Xu Shouyun asked directly.

"Come in."

The sweet voice appeared again, which made Xu Shouyun a little confused about what to say, but without any hesitation, Xu Shouyun crossed the screen and walked directly in.

Soon a soft fragrance filled the air, Xu Shouyun lowered his head and walked away, but immediately a pair of jade feet appeared in his sight.

The soles of the feet are not big, and are as white and tender as jade bamboo shoots. They are as pure and flawless as any. Just these feet make people's hearts beat. Xu Shouyun's heart beat wildly.

I can't help it, I've been traveling for a month, and this is the first time I've seen such a scene. The women in the palace are dressed more conservatively than the other, and they don't look heroic at all.

The problem is that there is a very strange phenomenon in the palace. The eunuchs all look average, because most of them are country children who were sent to the palace.

Through mechanized training, each one is relatively dull. If everyone does not practice martial arts, resulting in a fair complexion, otherwise they will be ugly.

Don’t be fooled by the eunuchs in TV dramas. Most of the real eunuchs are ugly and have dull eyes.

Think about it, the eunuchs in the palace do not have any innocence. In this cold environment, they have rules in their minds, and not everyone can enter the inner library to study.

People who don’t study and don’t receive any education, what are they if they’re not stupid?

It will be better when you grow older, and you will be more mature when you are twenty-three or four years old, but under the wind and rain, your skin becomes worse and worse, and the ancients did not brush their teeth very much.

Big yellow teeth are everywhere. The world is a little better, but only a little better.

As for the palace maids, as women, they pay more attention to their image, and even make some gadgets to protect themselves, so they are not bad at all.

Just like the two sisters Yanyun Yanyue, one is tall and straight, and the other is round and plump. Coupled with their good looks, there is no problem at all in killing a small Internet celebrity after losing their previous life.

In this environment, Xu Shouyun can keep thinking quietly every day, which is already an excellent thing.

So when I saw the scene in front of me, I was really a little bit unbearable.

No, as a eunuch, you can't look around.

Just take a few more glances and that’s it.

Xu Shouyun, Xu Shouyun, you must not be the kind of protagonist who can't walk when he sees a woman. You must have the air of a king.

Yo, you even put on nail polish?

Xu Shouyun was talking to himself, but a voice sounded and made him tremble.
