Chapter 234: Everything
"He Yuan scratched his head. Eunuch Su, Doctor Luo found out that Xiao Tongzi was drugged, which is why he suddenly found himself outside the bedroom in the middle of the night."
The young master said that someone must have deliberately framed her...
"Drug, what drug? Before He Yuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Peisheng."
"Eunuch, Doctor Luo said that it was something called agarwood. After using it, people would do things that are not acceptable to the public."
"Su Peisheng was very busy today. He only knew that He Yuan had been waiting outside the palace for a whole day, but he didn't expect that these things were involved."
"He nodded solemnly. We know about this matter. Please wait a moment. I will ask the emperor before we talk about other things."
"Thank you, eunuch," Su Peisheng waved his hand and turned to enter the hall.
"The emperor leaned on the couch, pinching his brows with his hands. He didn't open his eyes when he heard footsteps, which showed that he was extremely tired."
"Su Peisheng didn't speak immediately. He poured a cup of tea for the other party and placed it on the table before he came. Your Majesty, the eunuch beside Concubine Qi has been waiting outside for a day, saying that Concubine Qi wants to see Your Majesty for something."
The emperor still closed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
"No more hesitation, Your Majesty, the eunuch beside Lady Qi was drugged. He tried to sneak into the young lady's bedroom in the middle of the night last night, but was discovered by the maid beside the lady."
"Because they didn't dare to alarm the Emperor and Empress, the people around Concubine Qi reported back to Concubine Shu, but Concubine Qi ordered the eunuch who tried to sneak into the bedroom to be beaten to death."
"The Concubine Shu has found nothing to prove, but Lady Qi is unwilling to let it go, so she wants to ask the Emperor to go to the Xinghua Pavilion and make a decision for you."
"Since it didn't work out, is Lady Qi okay?"
"From what the eunuch who came to report said, it should be nothing."
"Since everything is fine and the real owner has been beaten to death by her, there is nothing to investigate. Let her be quiet. I don't have the energy to listen to her complaints."
"Obviously, it's because political affairs are already worrying, and now that I heard that Noble Qi is fine, I don't want to care about it at all."
"Su Peisheng knew best how tired the emperor was today. After hearing this, he did not dare to say anything more. He bowed and left the hall."
"He Yuan saw Su Peisheng and hurried forward to greet him with a smile, Eunuch Su, is the emperor free?"
Su Peisheng shook his head. "The emperor is indeed tired today. You go and tell the noble lady that the emperor is tired today and cannot handle this matter. Since the real master is dead and the lady is fine, let's drop the matter."
He Yuan was stunned after hearing this, Father-in-law...?
I have something to do at home, you should go back!
"He Yuan was smarter. Seeing Su Peisheng's expression, he guessed that the emperor didn't want to care about this matter. He just didn't react for a while!"
"He bowed again. Yes, Eunuch Su took great pains today. My mistress said that no matter whether the emperor goes or not, she is extremely grateful to you."
"But even though the words were spoken, there was no real substance behind them. It was obvious that He Yuan said this out of quick wit, and not at the behest of Lady Qi."
"Su Peisheng doesn't care about these petty gains, let alone the gratitude of a noble lady. Just go back quickly."
"Yes, then I will take my leave first. He Yuan turned and left, and Su Peisheng turned and went to the side hall."
"He Yuan, who had left the Qinzheng Palace, couldn't help but sigh. He had served Concubine Qi for a long time and knew her temper very well."
"At this moment, I have not invited the emperor. I don't know how the other party will lose his temper. I still have to think of a way to save myself from suffering."
"Thinking like this in his mind, He Yuan's expression naturally couldn't be any better?" After turning a corner to see a pond in front, a voice suddenly came from behind him. Was it Eunuch He?
"After hearing this, He Yuan turned around and saw a young eunuch who he didn't know walking towards him quickly. Although he was a little confused about who the other person was,
"I stopped and waited for the other person to come closer before I bowed and asked, 'May I know who you are, sir?' The man returned the greeting and said, 'No wonder Eunuch He didn't recognize me, I am Liu Cheng.'"
"So he was the one trimming the flowers and plants in the garden. I saw him with the noble lady a few days ago, and that's how I got to know him by chance."
It turned out to be Eunuch Liu. I don’t know why he called me. What’s the matter?
"Nothing! I was just on my way to the imperial kitchen, and I happened to see the eunuch, so I thought of greeting him. Is he coming out of the Qinzheng Palace?"
"Liu Cheng laughed and asked another question. Liu Cheng's humble attitude made He Yuan feel a little favorable towards him."
"We are all servants, used to doing things like keeping our heads down and serving others. If someone is respectful to us, it's inevitable that they will have the wrong idea."
"That's right. My mistress asked me to go to the Qinzheng Palace to report to the emperor. After hearing this, Liu Cheng's face immediately flashed with envy. Your Excellency is valued by the nobles, which is much more noble than those of us who serve flowers and trees all day long."
"I really envy you. Eunuch Liu's words make me ashamed. We are all servants, so who is nobler than who?"
"Although He Yuan said so, there was a real look of pride on his face. As soon as He Yuan said this, Liu Cheng immediately arched his back towards him. I dare to say that what Eunuch He said was wrong."
"Oh? What's wrong? Serving beside the noble lady is an honor, and you can have a good future. How can we compare with that?"
"Liu Cheng flattered again, and then continued, "Excuse me, I have something to say in my heart, I wonder if I should say it or not?"
"What's there to doubt? Just tell me, Eunuch Liu?" Liu Cheng shook his head in a helpless manner. "Alas, Eunuch, you don't know. I'm in the garden all day."
"Throughout the whole year, I can't even see a noble person except at this critical moment, let alone someone like you who is lucky enough to be able to serve the young lady."
Life is really hard, I dare to ask you to point out a way out so that I can get out of this miserable situation...
"After saying that, he immediately took out a complete silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the other party."
Liu Cheng's words made He Yuan raise his eyelids, and the pride on his face turned into disdain, with a hint of condescension in his eyes, but how much monthly salary could a slave get?
"With a face like his just in front of Lady Qi, how could he have ever seen such a silver ingot? He forgot everything for a moment."
"Without any hesitation, he took the silver ingot handed over by the other party and weighed it in his hand. It is a good thing that you have such thoughts. It just so happens that the young master just lacks someone by his side."
"Wait a minute, I'll ask the young lady if she wants you to serve in the palace. Oh, eunuch, are you serious?"
"After hearing this, He Yuan frowned and said, 'Is there any need for me to trick a little eunuch like you who trims flowers and plants?'"
"But for personnel matters, you have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Naturally, this little money you have is not enough. He Yuan tossed the silver in his hand, with a playful look on his face."
"Liu Cheng immediately bowed and said, sir, please rest assured, as long as you can get me out of this miserable nest, even if it costs my life, I will raise some money."
"Forget it, just go back and wait for the matter. As for the news from our family, I am in a hurry to reply to the young master, so I won't talk to you any more."
"Yes, yes, my father-in-law is busy. Please go first!"
"He Yuan raised his chin and walked away. Liu Cheng's respectful and humble expression immediately disappeared. After He Yuan walked away, he lightly scolded him, saying, "What a villain who succeeds."

"Lady Qi looked at He Yuan who was kneeling below with anger on her face, her face turned red with anger."
Obviously having already vented his anger, He Yuan quietly moved his sore knees and put on a flattering smile.
"My young master, the emperor is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, so it is normal that he is not available. In my opinion, it would be better not to alarm the emperor about this matter."
"I have suffered such a great injustice. How can I accept this if I don't find out who is behind this and who ordered it?"
My Lord, this matter, after all... is not... very nice to hear...
"He Yuan said with some embarrassment, and then said that only Madam Shufei knew about this matter now, and I think Madam Shufei will not interfere."
"As for Xiao Tongzi, he has been beaten to death, and Xiao Yu'er has also lost his life. If you just let this go, you will have suffered some injustice. If you don't investigate what Xiao Tongzi did, naturally no one will mention it anymore."
So: It is not only for the future of the young master...
"After all the rage, Lady Qi was no longer as angry as before. With He Yuan's gentle persuasion, she finally calmed down a little."
"You have some truth in what you said," she replied with a relaxed look, and then asked, "Is the emperor really busy? Does he not want to see me?"
"Don't worry, young lady. I have been waiting outside the Qinzheng Palace for a whole day, but I didn't see the emperor come out. Eunuch Su said that the emperor was busy with the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty, so he didn't have time. It's definitely not that he didn't want to see you, young lady."
"He Yuan said with a smile on his face; what's more, you are beautiful and have been favored since entering the palace. How could the emperor not want to see you?"
"Finally, these words made Concubine Qi smile with a proud look on her face. Humph, I, Guaerjia, have made great contributions to the emperor. How can others compare to me?"
"My lord, you are right. But my lord has been busy for a long time and has not had a good meal. It is almost time for dinner. How about I serve you the meal?"
Well, you’ve worked hard today, Jingtai, you go.
"Yes, Jingtai left, and Concubine Qi waved her hand and said, "Never mind, get up."
Thank you, my lord.
He Yuan responded with a smile, stood up and took a step forward. My lady, it is not a pity that the little copper bastard died, but my lady is of noble status, and our palace cannot be short of people to serve you. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will probably have to send someone new here.
"Send it here if you want. I have you and Jingtai by my side, so no one else needs to get close to me." He Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "My lady, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
When did you become so cautious? Just say what you want to say!
"You are in the harem, so it is natural for you to be honored, but you can't help but be framed by others. Isn't this the case with the copper coin incident?"
"So, I am thinking secretly, for the sake of my lady's daily comfort, rather than waiting for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to release a person whose background is unknown and who may be someone else's thorn, it is better for my lady to choose someone who knows the details and can put her mind at ease."
"What He Yuan said is what Noble Lady Chongqi is thinking. Yes, there are so many concubines in charge of the six palaces now, and I have no way of checking who sent them in."
If you can pick one yourself, it will save you a lot of trouble.
"After thinking for a moment, he answered, "But where can I find someone who knows the background in the garden? Or do you have any other ideas, little Hezi?"
"My lady, but it's not a good idea. It's just that by chance, I met a young eunuch who was tending to the flowers and plants in the garden."
"He is an honest man, and doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. If you are free, I will let him come and meet you first."
"After all, they are the ones who are to serve you, so naturally they have to be good to you! When Lady Qi heard this, she raised her eyebrows. "People in the garden?"
"That's right. It's because he has been serving in the garden that I think there should be no other master behind him. It's also because of this that I can bring this up in front of you, young master."
