After Hai Dafu died, Xiang Yan no longer went to the big kitchen to eat, but ate in the room with Wei Xiaobao. After the two returned to the room, Xiang Yan found that the teapot on the table was missing.

Xiang Yan thought to himself: "I clearly remember that the old eunuch didn't die at this time. The old eunuch didn't die so early. But today when we were gambling, Wei Xiaobao said he wanted to go to the toilet and left for a while. Wei Xiaobao must have taken advantage of this moment.

When Shi returned to his room, he put poison in the teapot and poisoned the old eunuch to death. However, the guards, eunuchs, and imperial doctors did not want to take any responsibility, so they took away the teapot containing the poisoned tea as evidence, and poisoned the old eunuch to death.

The news was concealed and not reported. But how did Wei Xiaobao know that the old eunuch was not in the room during this time? Wouldn't it be very bad if Wei Xiaobao had just met the old eunuch when he returned to the room to poison her? "

Then he thought again: "That's right. This palace is not run by the old eunuch. How can the old eunuch sit in the room all day long and do nothing? Since the old eunuch teaches us kung fu in the room in the afternoon,

I rested in my room at night, and I guess I went out to do things in the morning. Wei Xiaobao's mind was spinning so fast, I didn't even expect this."

He was amazed at Wei Xiaobao in his heart: "This Wei Xiaobao is also a ruthless person. I just told him yesterday that the old eunuch had ill intentions towards him, and he poisoned the old eunuch to death today. It's not like I always wanted the old eunuch to die.

But I haven't come up with a solution for several days." Xiang Yan secretly despised himself, and became more determined that he must not provoke Wei Xiaobao and must hug Wei Xiaobao's thigh tightly.

The two of them didn't bother to eat, so they first went to look for the antidote in the old eunuch's medicine box. They saw bottles and packages of pills in the medicine box, and there were words written on the bottles and paper packages. It was just Xiang Yan.

They don’t know traditional Chinese characters at all, and Wei Xiaobao is even semi-literate. You two look at me, and I look at you.

You really don't know which one is medicine for wounding and which one is poison.

Wei Xiaobao asked Xiang Yan, "Xiao Yan, which one of these medicines do you think is the antidote?" Xiang Yan had an idea and said, "How about we tell the emperor that we want to study medicine and ask him to send an imperial physician to teach us medical skills. Wait.

After we learn it, we will naturally know which one can detoxify it." Wei Xiaobao sighed: "That's all we have to do." Xiang Yan said happily: "After we escape from the palace, we can't be beggars and beg on the streets! We might as well take this opportunity.

You first learn medical skills in the palace, which can be regarded as a craft. After leaving the palace, you can become a doctor to support yourself." Wei Xiaobao also smiled and said: "That's right."

Xiang Yan still didn't give up. He looked through other boxes and found some old clothes and books. In addition, there were nine ingots of silver, each weighing twenty-five taels.

When the two of them were dejected, someone outside the door shouted: "Eunuch Gui, I'm so happy, so happy! Open the door quickly." After Wei Xiaobao opened the door, he asked: "What happy event?" Three eunuchs stood outside the door, and they all bowed to Wei Xiaobao.

They all said in unison: "Congratulations, Eunuch Gui!"

Wei Xiaobao asked: "Why are you so polite?" A eunuch in his forties laughed and said: "Just now the emperor issued an imperial edict to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because the rich father-in-law Hai fell ill and died, the position of deputy chief eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor was taken.

Eunuch Gui has been promoted." Another eunuch said with a smile: "We rushed over to congratulate you before the Minister of Internal Affairs conveyed the order. From now on, Eunuch Gui will be in charge of the catering department. That's great." Wei Xiaobao returned.

In the inner room, three ingots of silver were taken, and each person was given one ingot of silver as a messenger fee.

Another eunuch said: "We have never had a deputy chief eunuch as young as Eunuch Gui in our palace. There are fourteen chief eunuchs in the palace and eight deputy chief eunuchs. There are only two top people in the palace."

Twelve. Eunuch Gui is promoted today, and tomorrow he will be on an equal footing with Manager Zhang, Manager Wang, and others. This is really amazing." Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly and said: "That is the emperor's grace, old...old...I Gui Xiaobao

What's so great about it?" He added: "Come on, come on, let's sit in the house and have a cup of tea."

The middle-aged eunuch said: "Your Majesty's decree comes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs only at night. Let's invite Eunuch Gui to have a drink to celebrate his great success. Eunuch Gui, you are now a fifth-rank official, that's not a small thing!"

The others followed suit and insisted on taking Wei Xiaobao to drink. Wei Xiaobao called Xiang Yan, locked the door, and left with a smile.

The three of them invited Wei Xiaobao to the Imperial Room and respectfully asked him to sit at the head table. Among the three of them, two were from the Shangshan Supervisor and one was sent by Liang Jiugong to convey the imperial edict to the House of Internal Affairs. Wei Xiaobao didn't know how to drink, so he followed them smoothly.

Nonsense.

As those people talked, they brought the topic to Hai Dafu, patting Wei Xiaobao on the butt while belittling Hai Dafu without any trace. After drinking for a while, the two eunuchs from Shangshan Supervisor gradually mentioned that doing

The life of an eunuch is poor, and all depends on making some money. Please Wei Xiaobao not be as stubborn as Hai Laogong, and handle everything more smoothly. Wei Xiaobao is only obedient and does not agree.

After finishing the wine, the two eunuchs thrust a small package into Wei Xiaobao's hand. When he went back to the room and opened it, he saw that it was two banknotes, each worth one thousand taels. Wei Xiaobao handed Xiang Yan a banknote and said with a smile:

"You have a chance to see me, so I'll give you one." Xiang Yan hesitated, took the banknote, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much." He added, "I was just worried that we would become beggars after we left the palace because we couldn't live.
