Shouquan was not on duty tonight. As the sun set and night rose, Shouquan left the imperial study room quietly.
"Eunuch Shouquan."
Another eunuch came to hand over. The other eunuch was very respectful, with a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
Shouquan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'll leave it to you later. Your Majesty may not be in such a good mood today."
Upon hearing this, the other party's expression condensed slightly, and he quickly said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."
Shouquan patted his shoulder and said, "Just be careful."
After the handover eunuch entered, Shou Quan slightly suppressed his smile and returned to his room with steady steps.
As the eunuch beside Zhao Qian, Shouguan had many privileges. For example, although he was a slave, he could have an independent house with a yard.
Not long after he returned to the room, there was a knock on the door.
The secret guard hiding in the dark cheered up and stared at the little eunuch who came to look for Shouguan.
He is the godson that Shouquan has always taken with him.
"Godfather."
After a while, the door was opened, and Shouquan said with some anger: "Why are you here?"
"My son just made some food. I knew my godfather didn't have to be on duty tonight, so I brought it here specially for my godfather." The little eunuch held a plate in his hand, which contained some steaming snacks.
Shouquan snorted and said, "You have good intentions, so I'm not treating you well in vain. Come in."
"Hey, okay!"
The little eunuch brought the snacks in, and Shou Quan walked behind him without closing the door, so that the secret guards outside could see clearly.
"Daddy, do you want to try it?"
Shouquan responded, picked up a piece of snack, and looked at it carefully.
When the little eunuch saw this, he found that the door was not closed, so he went to close it first.
When the other party turned to close the door, Shouquan's lowered eyes flashed slightly. He smoothed his sleeve with his left hand, then brought the snack to his mouth and took a small bite.
The next moment, he immediately frowned and put the snack back on the plate heavily.
The moment the snack was put down, a small folded piece of paper fell from the hanging cuffs. Then, the snack was firmly pressed up, covering the paper perfectly.
Before the little eunuch closed the door, Shou Quan called out in a disgusted voice, "What are you cooking? It tastes terrible."
"Ah?" The little eunuch was startled, and he didn't care about the door that had not yet been closed. He turned around and walked quickly towards Shouquan.
"Daddy, does this, does this taste terrible?"
Shou Quan responded solemnly, and using the little eunuch's body to block him, he gave his hand a small slap, and then his eyes fell on the pastry he had taken a bite of without leaving any trace.
But he said bitterly: "It tastes bad, it tastes terrible! I think you'd better not make these snacks next time. It's a waste of materials." qo
The little eunuch's days in the palace continued, and he immediately understood Shouquan's hint and took the words, "Godfather, this, hey! My son will show you some other ways to honor you next time!"
Hearing this, Shouquan impatiently placed the plate heavily on the young eunuch's hand, "You can do whatever you want, but don't get anything else to eat."
"Okay, just listen to your godfather. My son will think about something else next time."
As the little eunuch was carrying the plate and preparing to leave, Shou Quan poked his forehead and said, "I think about these things every day. If you have such thoughts, you might as well think about how to please the noble!"
Before the young eunuch could speak, Shou Quan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, I'll get angry when I see you."
The little eunuch had no choice but to laugh twice, carry the plate and go out with a sad face. When he walked out of the door, he muttered, "Why does it taste so bad?"
The secret guard hiding in the dark moved his eyes from Shou Shou to the young eunuch, especially the plate he was holding.
After thinking for a while, the secret guard followed the little eunuch and left.
The little eunuch was holding the plate, wanting to see what was underneath the cake, but before he could make any move, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
It was as if something was staring at me.
The little eunuch paused for a moment and did not dare to turn over the pastry again. His hands were a little numb.
This feeling (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 485 Note
It didn't make sense, but the way he looked like his godfather just now, it was obvious that someone was watching him.
He came out of his godfather's place carrying things. Even if they put on a show, the other party would inevitably still be suspicious.
A small amount of sweat gradually broke out on the little eunuch's forehead. Fortunately, it was not obvious and no one noticed it.
After walking for half an hour, the little eunuch finally calmed down slightly. He lowered his head, pretending to be confused, and muttered again, "Is it really so unpleasant?"
He wrinkled his face, reached out and pinched a piece of pastry, and his sleeves dropped to the piece of pastry that Shouguan had just eaten.
After pinching the pastry, the little eunuch took a bite, frowned immediately, and swallowed the pastry with difficulty, "This thing is really so unpalatable."
He threw the pastry back on the plate.
"That brat lied to me and said it was a reward from a noble man and it was delicious. I didn't even dare to try it, so I brought the pastry to my godfather and got scolded."
The little eunuch muttered to himself and cursed the man who gave him the cake.
The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but enough for the secret guards to receive it in their ears.
Seemingly angry, the little eunuch found a place and dumped all the cakes in a corner, cursing in a low voice.
Apparently he was so angry that he held the plate with one hand and walked away angrily.
After the little eunuch left, the secret guard showed up after making sure there was no one around. He bent down and checked the cakes on the ground, but found nothing.
Without further delay, he quickly returned to the outside of Shouquan's room and poked a hole in the window paper to guard it.
On the other side, the little eunuch returned to his room. When he sat down, he felt his heart beating violently.
After waiting for a while, he took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and opened it carefully. After seeing the content clearly, the little eunuch's eyes widened suddenly, his fingers twitched, and the paper dropped.
Go down.
The little eunuch swallowed, then bent down to pick up the note. As if his soul was out of his body, he blankly put the note close to the candle and burned it.
"This..." He wanted to say how could this be possible, but suddenly he remembered that the last time he went back to the National Preceptor Xu You...
The little eunuch immediately shut his mouth.
The next day, the young eunuch specially changed jobs with others and was responsible for going out of the palace to purchase.
After leaving the palace, he made a long circuit and then went to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
"Who are you?"
The young eunuch was stopped directly at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
"I am from the palace, and I have something urgent to do to see King Xuan."
The guard behind the palace gate looked at him, frowned and said, "Wait a moment."
About half a quarter of an hour later, the guard who had just entered came out and said in a deep voice: "Follow me in."
The little eunuch hurriedly followed the guard in.
