“Empress.”

Empress Wang glanced at him.” When the Crown Prince, Prince Jiangxia, and Prince Huaiyang come, bring them to the West Hall first.” The others were brought to the East Hall. If anyone disagrees, kill them without mercy.”

###

Xie Manor Rong An Hall.

“Why? Is there anything wrong?”

Seeing that Xie Xian did not speak for a long time, Xiao Baoxin felt that something was amiss.

Xie Xian shook his head.” I’ll go take a look first.””After saying that, he got up and walked out. It was still drizzling outside.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was placed in the hall. Xie Xian walked over and took a turn. There were eunuchs in the palace who were specially assigned to deliver orders. Unless the Emperor sent Wei Desheng or Wei Desheng’s disciple on a whim or it was inconvenient for outsiders to know, they would not order other eunuchs around. They could not just send them out of the palace and ask around about each other’s family.

The eunuchs who were specially in charge of delivering orders knew the homes of the ministers of the court very well. They all had a manual map of the activity.

When Xie Xian entered the room, he saw that the eunuch looked familiar. He was eighteen or nineteen years old, with white teeth and red lips.

“The chamberlain serves the emperor in Taiji Palace…Zhang Yu?”

The eunuch’s eyes widened. He had never expected Xie Xian to recognize him.

At most, he could only serve tea and water to the Emperor. That was only because he had been sucking up to Wei Desheng recently, which made him feel comfortable. That was why he was close to the Emperor.

When the ministers of the court saw their chamberlains, their eyes were always on the top of their heads. When they met a dog, they would even raise their eyes to look at it. When they met them, they would not even raise their heads or open their eyes.

“Yes, I am.” Zhang Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn’t be said to be excited. There was something more exciting than this.

“The emperor has summoned Minister to the palace for an audience. Minister, please follow me.”

Xie Xian nodded in agreement, but he still sat there unmoving like a mountain. “I wonder what’s the matter today…I remember that the chamberlains serve the Emperor, not the eunuchs who deliver orders.”

Zhang Yu choked.

“Why would the emperor let the chamberlain deliver the imperial edict?”

Because today I was waiting by the Emperor’s side, suddenly there was an urgent report, Minister should be a bit faster-at night, I can’t afford it.”Zhang Yu urged as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Minister, please hurry up.”

Xie Xian replied,”Of course, but I need to change my clothes anyway. Please wait a moment.””

“At least the Minister is faster.””

Xie Xian smiled and nodded before returning to his bedroom.

Xiao Baoxin hurriedly went forward and said anxiously,””What’s going on? If you don’t explain it clearly, I won’t be confident.”She saw that Xie Xian’s expression was not right. He had never been like this when he received an imperial edict or summons.

Xie Xian frowned. He couldn’t say for sure. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say.

By right, no matter how much an inner servant served tea and poured water, it was not his turn to deliver the imperial edict. A bunch of eunuchs were waiting for him, so it was not his job.

But recently, Emperor Yuheng had been drinking every day and had done all kinds of ridiculous things. Even the provincial governor who had returned to Jiankang had been captured to gamble with him. Those who did not win would not even stop at a thousand taels of silver…

Emperor Yu Heng might not be able to do a random job for a small internal disciple.

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. I just… Recently, the emperor’s behavior has been strange. He has sent a personal servant to pass the imperial edict. I can’t help but be suspicious. Now is a troubled time.”

When Xie Xian mentioned troubled times, Xiao Baoxin’s heart inexplicably jumped.

She believed that Xie Xian’s worries were not groundless. He must have discovered something unusual.

Xie Xian did not continue the conversation. He summoned Ming Yue to help him change into his normal clothes.

Xiao Baoxin took the opportunity to leave the room and walked to the hall where Eunuch Zhang Yu was. There were fruits and tea on the table. He did not move at all and looked out restlessly. Clearly, he was waiting anxiously.

When he saw Xiao Baoxin, he was stunned for a moment.’Thank you, Minister…”

“He is changing his clothes. I was afraid that the chamberlain would wait for a long time and become anxious, so I came to inform the chamberlain.”Xiao Baoxin walked over and touched the teacup. It was already cold. She picked up another teacup and filled it up for Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu wanted to reject it, but he changed his mind halfway through. He was too thirsty and his throat was dry. Who knew that just as he reached out to take it, Xiao Baoxin suddenly withdrew his hand. The cup of tea fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

“It was this lowly one’s mistake. I hope Furen can forgive me.”

As she spoke, Zhang Yu squatted down to pick up the fragments.

If Wei Desheng had such a high status, he would not have to do this job, but he was not. He was used to it becoming natural.

Xiao Baoxin was shocked.

There was no other reason. When Zhang Yu took the teacup from her hand, their fingers had touched for a moment. In that instant, she didn’t hear anything else. She only felt…Fear.

A trembling feeling shot through Zhang Yu’s fingers like an arrow towards her heart.

This situation was abnormal!

She had only experienced such a feeling when Xiao Baoshu had fallen into a coma after hearing about Xu Liuniang’s death. At that time, she was completely immersed in Xiao Baoshu’s feelings, and that deep fear made her heart tremble.

She felt an even stronger fear from Zhang Yu, which made her subconsciously retract her hand.

It was already absurd enough for a eunuch who was not a messenger to come and deliver an edict, so why was he so afraid?

Thinking about it carefully, I’m afraid!

“No, I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”Xiao Baoxin quickly squatted down and fought with Zhang Yu to pick up the fragments on the ground. Zhang Yu watched as her hands moved from side to side. Then, his hand was cut, and blood flowed down his fingers and dripped onto the ground.

This was… How deep was the cut?

“Aiya, how did you cut your hand and bleed? Cai Wei, quickly get the medicine.” Xiao Baoxin grabbed Zhang Yu’s finger. Even though she clenched it tightly, blood still kept flowing out.

Just now, he seemed to have cut too hard.

Cai Wei responded and went out.

Zhang Yu was speechless. He felt like he was being schemed against.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”Zhang Yu’s right hand was cut. She searched for a long time with her left hand before she pulled out a silk handkerchief from her waist. When she wanted to roll it up, she could not pull her hand back no matter what.

“Madam Xiao, I can do it myself.”

He couldn’t smile anymore. His hand hurt.

Xiao Baoxin held his finger. It was still a green onion a moment ago, but now it was as if it was soaked in blood. It was wrapped in his hand and dripping onto the ground.

“No matter what, I have to apply medicine. It’s my fault for being clumsy with such serious injuries.”

The two of them stood facing each other. Xiao Baoxin held Zhang Yu’s hand. She was a beauty that could last forever. He had seen her from afar before, but this was the first time he had seen her so close.

Although he was a eunuch, his heart couldn’t help but speed up.

It was too beautiful.

Even if he was a little stupid, he could still endure it. He looked at his bleeding hand. Without her, he would not have been so badly injured..
