"Master Lin Liu!" The old eunuch glared, and when he looked at Xiangxing again, his eyes became more probing: "Are you the newly found son of Lord Chief Assistant?"
"Please calm down, father-in-law." Xiang Xing raised her lips slightly and said, "The queen is still waiting for Lin Chu in Ganquan Palace. Lin Chu is afraid of missing the time for the audience. She did not deliberately neglect the father-in-law."
"What are you talking about?" The old eunuch immediately changed his face and smiled kindly: "Sixth Master is a busy man, how can I dare to delay your important event?"
This eunuch was the consul eunuch of the Miscellaneous Office. In the past, the Miscellaneous Office had the most general affairs. He was in charge of the repair of the palace's houses and the growth of the gardens. It was a Qingshui Yamen.
Although the old eunuch was not of low rank, he was not like other consuls. In the past, there were always people who fawned over him. Therefore, he always bullied the weak and feared the strong, worshiped those who were superior and disdained those who were inferior, and tried to gain promotion by flattering others.
How dare you offend the most popular person in the capital?
Xiangxing nodded with satisfaction: "Can I go?"
"Of course." The old eunuch smiled brightly: "Congratulations to the Sixth Master."
Xiang Xing no longer lingered, and her slender body disappeared into the busy crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Ganquan Palace is not close to Xianfu Palace. Why did Mr. Lin Liu come here?" A young eunuch scratched his head and whispered.
Before he could even finish his words, he was hit hard by the old eunuch: "Do you want to take more care of your noble master's affairs? Put out the fire! If the Concubine Xian has any shortcomings, watch your skin carefully!"
The old eunuch ordered the palace people to extinguish the fire with stern words, not afraid of the raging flames in front of him.
While everyone was busy, they suddenly saw a palace maid in pink running very fast, rushing to the old eunuch in two or three steps. She whispered in his ear, and the old eunuch's expression suddenly changed.
"Stop it all!" he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Welcome to the Queen!"
The queen has arrived?
The palace people were shocked, how noble the queen was. Why was she here in this chaotic moment?
"What are you doing standing still? Kneel down!"
The old eunuch was the first to kneel down, and the palace people behind him just woke up from a dream and leaned forward to prostrate themselves. The old eunuch felt bitter because he never had the chance to catch up with the empress in the past. But today, in this chaotic moment, he met the empress.
Hearing that the Queen and the Concubine Xian are not dealing with each other, should he direct people to put out the fire with all his strength or... just to please?
No solution... I'm so anxious to death!
"Everyone, get up."
The woman's soft voice was emphatic, solemn and deep. It sounded inexplicably lifeless, without any vitality.
"Who is on duty at Xianfu Palace today?" The woman's voice was still weak.
"Yes..." The old eunuch was in trouble.
Hearing the report from Xiaohuangmen that there was a flood in Xianfu Palace, he rushed over immediately. How could he bother to ask about the situation of the fire?
"It's the slave on duty!"
Someone in the crowd shouted and rushed out to kneel down.
The man's second-grade prison uniform was covered in ashes from the fireworks, and several large holes were burned by the fire. He was in a miserable state.
His face was blackened by the raging flames, and washed out of ravines by sweat, so that his true face could no longer be seen.
"Slave Yu Chongjun has met the Queen!"
"It turns out to be Eunuch Yu." Baili Mingshuang looked at Yu Chongjun carefully before continuing: "Since you are on duty, do you know why the Xianfu Palace was in trouble today?"
"Slave..." Yu Chongjun frowned: "Slave, I suspect that someone maliciously set the fire."
"Oh?" Baili Mingshuang's voice paused, and there was surprise in her eyes: "Who is so bold?"
"Yes..." Yu Chongjun turned his head, quickly scanned the crowd, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed directly at somewhere in the crowd: "It's her!"
