Chapter 6 Chapter 6(1/2)

"Eunuch Xu is really a great talent. It's no wonder that His Majesty values ​​you so much." Feng Bao smiled and patted Xu Shiheng's shoulder. He was all pleased: "Our family has a keen eye for picking out pearls. Among the eunuchs back then, they all picked up the right one at a glance.

If you were chosen and served in front of the emperor, our family would have thought that you were not a mortal. Looking at it now, you have really not lost our family's face."

Xu Shiheng was frightened and said: "The little one can't be where he is today without the cultivation of the chief supervisor. I will never forget your great kindness and virtue in this life."

"Handling the errands well and being loyal to the Holy One is the reward for our family." Feng Baodao said, trusting him again: "I will leave Wen Yunting's errand to you. You must do it with perfection and never let down the Holy One."

A lot of trust.”

Xu Shiheng lowered his head deeply: "I would like to thank the supervisor for cultivating me."

Looking at Xu Shiheng's leaving figure, Feng Bao snorted secretly.

Wen Yunting's case is not so easy to deal with. If you do it lightly, you will feel disgusted with the Holy One. If you do it seriously, you will undoubtedly offend the imperial concubine.

How can it be so easy to determine the criteria?

The people in Zhao Prison obviously received the letter in advance, and when they saw Xu Shiheng coming, they opened the prison door directly.

The person who received him was the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei. Although the Chief of Ceremonies and the Jin Yiwei usually looked down upon each other, they were both royal privates. They were both lone ministers of the Holy Emperor. They were barely on the same page, so they met each other on weekdays.

You can also maintain some outward politeness.

The deputy ushered the people into the execution room, pointed at the various instruments of torture, and asked directly: "Which one should I use?"

Xu Shiheng's eyes passed over the blood-stained torture instruments without hesitation: "Break off one leg and tattoo the face."

The deputy envoy asked: "How much does it break?"

"In the future, it will be bad for you."

The deputy understood and waved for the prisoner to be dragged over. Xu Shiheng turned around and left the execution room to wait outside, passing by the prisoner who was dragged in.

Not long after, some painful humming sounds came from inside, and soon there were sounds of frightened, angry and cursed words.

"If a man dies, he will die. He will never accept this humiliation! Get out of here!"

There was an angry rebuke inside, but to no avail, and soon the rebuke turned into howls.

The deputy came out and gestured towards the execution room, indicating that something was going on here.

Xu Shiheng came to his senses, took out the banknote and stuffed it into his hand: "The deputy envoy is tired of the late night disturbance. This is wine money for the brothers in the guard station. Please don't refuse."

The deputy raised his eyebrows and said after taking it: "They are all doing things for the Holy Sage. Why should Eunuch Xu be so polite?"

After saying that, he smiled and asked people to leave for now.

After everyone had gone away, Xu Shiheng entered the execution room again.

Wen Yunting lost all his strength and fell down on the torture rack in embarrassment. His right calf drooped down and was bent at an abnormal angle. On the left side of his forehead, which was originally smooth, there was blood flowing down along several blood holes, and half of the blood was flowing down.

All faces.

When he saw someone coming in, he opened his eyes and looked at them angrily. Then he slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Shiheng was speechless and stepped forward to untie his shackles.

The slightest movement affected the injured area, causing Wen Yunting to break into cold sweat and convulse all over.

Xu Shiheng stood there and waited for him to calm down for a while, then he helped the man step by step towards the outside of the execution room.

"Your Majesty, are you going to let me go?"

Before taking two steps, Wen Yunting stopped and asked in a hoarse voice.

Xu Shiheng also stopped, and after a while, he said: "The imperial concubine has angina pectoris, and the Holy Emperor went to visit her not long ago."

Wen Yunting was shocked.

Xu Shiheng supported him and continued walking. When he was approaching the door of the execution room, he heard a harsh murmur in his ears——

"It's wrong, my father is wrong. The court is a man's business, and she shouldn't be involved... It's my father who is wrong."

"If, if only I have such a day."

"Be sure not to let the news of my death reach her ears."

"She...has suffered enough."

He whispered, not knowing who he was talking to.

Xu Shiheng seemed not to have heard anything, and helped him step by step through the dark and bloody cell passage.

The deputy envoy saw him from a distance and called for help.

Xu Shiheng said to the deputy envoy: "The Holy Father has decreed that Mr. Wen can be released and returned home after being punished."

The deputy envoy immediately ordered: "Come, take Mr. Wen back to Wen Mansion."

Two guards in royal robes came over and immediately helped the man away.

After finishing his errands, Xu Shiheng did not stop and left immediately.

Not long after he left, a thin eunuch emerged from the secret listening room next to the execution room, nodded to the deputy, and hurried away like a ghost.

The deputy envoy sneered and did not comment on Feng Bao's plan. He only raised the money in his hand and said with a smile: "When the time comes at dawn, I will take you to have a drink."

At the eunuch office, Xu Shiheng reported an errand to Feng Bao.

Feng Bao stroked Fuchen and moved his eyelids: "It's gone?"

Xu Shiheng only paused for half a breath before pleading guilty: "I didn't dare to hide it from the chief eunuch. The talkative young man vaguely mentioned the imperial concubine's painstaking efforts to Mr. Wen, hoping to get some favors from the imperial concubine."

Feng Bao frowned and looked at him disapprovingly: "You are not following the rules."

"You are too talkative, and you are regretting it now. You know your mistake, and you are willing to accept the punishment."

"You, let's say you are cautious, but sometimes you are reckless." Feng Bao sighed: "The people in Zhaoyu are not of the same mind as us. Our family is afraid that there will be no good news there, so we don't dare to protect you. Just go and get twenty sticks."

You should be punished. Remember this lesson in the future. You must never do this taboo thing again."

Xu Shiheng was grateful.

After the morning session the next day, Feng Bao went to the Qinzheng Hall to report to the Holy One that the errand had been completed.

Of course, he would not hide Xu Shiheng's mistakes and report them truthfully.

The man on the throne dipped his pen in red ink and asked casually: "How did Wen Yunting react?"

Feng Bao spoke in detail. But when he said the last sentence, cold sweat fell from his forehead.

He felt great regret in his heart. He should have asked Xu Shiheng to come to the imperial court first to report the matter and then receive the punishment.

Zhu Bi listened to the memorial for a moment, and then continued to circle around it.

"You said, I made the noble concubine suffer?"

Feng Bao immediately replied: "The grace that the Holy One shows to the Imperial Concubine is witnessed by everyone in the palace. I don't know how many people admire it. I think the Imperial Concubine also sees it in her eyes and thinks about it in her heart. The Imperial Concubine feels comfortable in this palace."

, the food is all of the best quality, how could it be a little bitter? Then Mr. Wen probably lost his composure for a moment and lost his temper."

There was silence in the main hall.

"Go down."

Feng Bao suppressed cold sweat and bowed back.

Before he could even take two steps back, a eunuch stepped into the palace from outside, holding a sachet on top of his head with both hands.

"Holy...Your Majesty, Mr. Lancai has just sent the palace servants to deliver the sachet...and asked me to forward it to the imperial court."

The person on the throne remained as still as a mountain, as if he had not heard anything.

The eunuch, who was already frightened by the unusual atmosphere in the palace, suddenly had his hands trembling and his calves began to cramp.

Feng Bao glanced at him anxiously, but fortunately the eunuch received it in time, maintained the same posture as when he came, lowered his height, held up the sachet, and retreated quietly.

After the two of them exited the hall, the eunuch thanked Feng Bao for his kindness.

Feng Bao waved his hand impatiently: "Be more careful in the future."

The eunuch must have been ashamed. Afterwards, he thought of the sachet in his hand and hurriedly asked what to do with it.

Feng Bao raised his eyelids, glanced at it, and said casually: "Take it away, you can handle it yourself."

The eunuch opened his mouth wide: "Ah?"

Just after the Youshi period, the Holy Emperor stopped at Changxin Palace.

The concubines in the harem knew in their hearts that the Holy Emperor would definitely stay overnight, so except for a few who were determined to stay, most of the concubines no longer sent people out to inquire.

Aunt Yu had just made the tea and was about to go to the Nuan Pavilion to serve the tea with the teapot in hand.

Feng Bao was waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion. When he saw this, he took half a step forward with a smile on his face, just in time to block Grandma Yu's way.

"Mommy, there's no rush to serve the tea."

Grandma Yu was startled for a moment, and then she came to her senses.

"This...the sky is not completely dark yet..."

She said dryly, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the balcony door.

Feng Bao pulled her over with a smile: "Mom, let's go and have a rest first. Our family will be here to guard you. If there is anything we need from you, someone will call you over."
