Lin Yiqiu found that the maids and eunuchs looked at him strangely, with a hint of worry.
Something is wrong, this is not a good sign.
Lin Yiqiu waved, and a young eunuch who was sweeping the floor ran over.
"Xiao Dezi, what's going on?"
Lin Yiqiu was a charming person with no airs. He had only been in Cining Palace for a few days and he already got along well with these palace ladies and eunuchs.
Xiao Dezi looked at him with a worried look on his face and said anxiously: "I don't know what's going on. I heard that Commander Cang of Jin Yiwei came here earlier and mentioned you. Everyone may think that you have committed something."
Lin Yiqiu was convinced that Cang Hong came to Cining Palace to report the arrest of the palace maid.
He originally wanted to give the credit to Jin Yiwei, but he didn't expect that Cang Hong was not greedy for credit and was actually worth making friends with.
Lin Yiqiu patted Xiao Dezi on the shoulder. It warmed his heart that someone could worry about him.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. Maybe my brother will be promoted."
"real or fake?"
Xiao Dezi looked at Lin Yiqiu enviously, "It's not that I can't trust your character. If you really want to do good things, I will definitely be happy for you."
"By the way, where did you run before? In this palace, don't run around casually. If you are caught, you will be punished."
He only regarded Lin Yiqiu as a young eunuch who had just entered the palace, and taught him in a persuasive manner.
"I know. What's wrong with your shoulder?"
Lin Yiqiu frowned and asked. He patted Xiao Dezi on the shoulder just now and noticed that he had a strange expression.
Xiao Dezi avoided Lin Yiqiu's gaze and said awkwardly: "It's nothing, I accidentally dropped it while sweeping the floor just now."
Lin Yiqiu could tell at a glance that it was impossible for him to fall by himself.
If someone falls suddenly, their subconscious reaction is to put their hands on the ground or their elbows.
Lin Yiqiu's eyes turned cold and he asked: "You tell me, it doesn't matter. I want to see who is so brave and dares to bully our Cining Palace!"
Xiao Dezi was shocked by Lin Yiqiu's sudden burst of momentum, and Nuonuo said: "Yes, Tang Zhaoyi's manager, Kong Fang."
Xiao Dezi was sweeping the floor earlier and did not notice Tang Zhaoyi coming over. When he touched her, Kong Fang gave her a beating.
After Xiao Dezi finished speaking, he said nervously: "Don't act out of loyalty! I'm fine. Tang Zhaoyi is favored by the Queen Mother, and we can't afford to offend her."
Lin Yiqiu smiled, but there was anger in his eyes.
He had beaten Tang Zhaoyi, not to mention a steward of Yonghe Palace.
How could he bear this tone?
"I know in my heart, are they still inside?"
Xiao Dezi nodded blankly, not knowing what Lin Yiqiu wanted to do.
"That's good. It saves me a trip to Yonghe Palace."
Lin Yiqiu's smile became even brighter.
He stepped into Cining Palace, and sure enough, Tang Zhaoyi and the eldest princess were chatting and laughing with the old lady.
After Lin Yiqiu came in, he was about to salute when Tang Zhaoyi suddenly said: "What a bold slave. You are an errand in the Cining Palace, but you are not serving the Queen Mother. What crime should you do?!"
Lin Yiqiu was stunned for a moment and counterattacked unconsciously: "Tang Zhaoyi, do you have the right to speak here?"
Tang Zhaoyi's face suddenly turned green and red.
There is indeed a suspicion of overreaching in her inquiry. This is Cining Palace, and the owner of Cining Palace is the old lady above.
Lin Yiqiu was also a eunuch of Cining Palace, so it was Tang Zhaoyi's turn to raise an army to investigate.
Kong Fang, who was beside her, saw that her master was being offended, so she stood up and said, "Bold slave, Tang Zhaoyi is your majesty's beloved concubine. Is it possible that Cheng Cheng is no longer your master?"
"You really don't have any rules or etiquette, and you still don't slap yourself!"
As soon as you come up, you will give me a show of strength!
Am I scared?
Lin Yiqiu stood calmly in the hall and asked with a sneer: "Who are you?"
Kong Fang didn't understand what this sentence meant, but he also understood that the young eunuch below was asking him.
He said proudly: "Kong Fang, the steward of Yonghe Palace."
Lin Yiqiu had already guessed pretty well. After getting the answer, he shouted: "Hey, it's you!"
Kong Fang was confused, "Do you know our family?"
Lin Yiqiu looked at him but said nothing. Now even Kong Fang was very angry.
The old lady frowned, "Okay, don't say anything anymore."
She looked down at the young eunuch who was acting unscrupulously. She didn't mean to blame him at all, but instead showed a smile.
"Xiao Linzi, when Commander Cang came over earlier, the Ai family knew that someone dared to have an idea of the Ai family's harem."
When she found out about this, the old lady was furious!
In the old lady's opinion, all the maids in the harem belong to her.
The old lady smiled and asked: "Commander Cang said that you helped solve this case. You have made great contributions this time. What reward do you want?"
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
Tang Zhaoyi came to say bad things about Lin Yiqiu and hoped that the Queen Mother would punish him. She didn't expect that this kid would be rewarded even if he didn't get scolded.
The eldest princess also looked at Lin Yiqiu meaningfully.
They all knew in their hearts that this young eunuch was going to be prosperous.
Lin Yiqiu didn't care much about rewards and so on, so it was a bit difficult for him to choose.
This is an opportunity to complete Liu Xi's mission.
He stole a key from the Queen Mother's palace. If he could find the use of the key while taking advantage of the reward, he might be able to complete Liu Xi's mission.
Another option is to help Xiao Dezi vent his anger and let the Queen Mother punish Kong Fang.
From a perceptual point of view, Lin Yiqiu prefers the latter.
If the old eunuch knew that he had given up such a good opportunity, would he slap him to death?
"Xiao Linzi, the Queen Mother wants to ask you something."
The eldest princess suddenly spoke, interrupting Lin Yiqiu's train of thought.
Lin Yiqiu glanced at the eldest princess above, why is this girl always against me?
He raised his hands and said to the old lady: "Mr. Queen Mother, Xiao Linzi implores you to punish the madmen who are running wild in Cining Palace!"
The smile on the old lady's face disappeared, "Is this the reward you want? Tell me, what's going on?"
Everyone in the palace felt baffled.
Tang Zhaoyi and Kong Fang didn't know that the lunatic in Lin Yiqiu's words was themselves.
Lin Yiqiu swept Xiao Dezi away from Tang Zhaoyi and was beaten by Kong Fang.
He complained angrily: "The little eunuchs who do chores have the lowest status in the palace, but they are still human beings! They say that when you beat someone, it depends on the master. What is this person if not a fanatic?"
When Kong Fang saw Lin Yiqiu pointing at him, he realized that a disaster was coming.
It was true that he beat Xiao Dezi because he knew that Xiao Dezi would never dare to complain.
"There is such a thing?!"
The old lady's expression has become extremely stern. She is a protective old lady.
The look he looked at Lin Yiqiu was full of admiration.
She had always liked this young man, but now he did not care about money, but he still wanted to speak out for his companions. This kind of character was even more commendable.
"Kong Fang, is what Xiao Linzi said true?"
Kong Fang was so frightened that he knelt down and hurriedly defended: "It's true. But that's also true. That little eunuch offended Tang Zhaoyi, so I taught him a lesson."
