Chapter 150: Saving the Blackened Tyrant 13

From that day on, Xing Jian was not summoned for many days, and his days in the eunuch's residence suddenly became leisurely. The imperial garden had been renovated, and Xing Jian's daily job was to clean the imperial garden, and by the way, he could also appreciate the flowers that he had not seen in all these years.

Xingjian was very satisfied with the new job assigned by the eunuch, and he enjoyed pruning the potted plants every day.

Standing outside the window of the greenhouse, Xiao Jiyun looked at Xing Jian inside the room through the gauze window. At this moment, Xing Jian was fiddling with a pot of red plums, trimming the branches according to the picture book. He had gained weight in the past few days and smiled more often. The white jade beads in Xiao Jiyun's hand creaked when he squeezed them.

None of the eunuchs standing behind the tyrant dared to speak, and there was a hint of pity in their eyes as they looked at Xingjian in the room.

A few days ago, Ying Er had already presented all the details about the origin of the little eunuch in front of him and what had happened in recent days. These information made Xiao Jiyun more and more frightened. The eminent monk invited from the Huguo Temple was already on the way to Beijing, but Xiao Jiyun still couldn't help but take a look at this little eunuch first.

He knew very well that the greater the hope, the more painful the disappointment, but looking at the little eunuch who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao Jiyun wondered countless times whether God had taken pity on him and his little star and sent his little star back to him.

What Xiao Jiyun couldn't understand was why Xiao Xing clearly remembered him but didn't tell him about his life experience, or whether all this was just a false illusion created by himself when he was trapped in the quagmire of despair.

Xiao Jiyun seemed to have thought of that bad memory. In order to seek peace, Beijiang once sent a beauty who looked 70% similar to Xingjian, but he eventually peeled off her face and threw her back to Beijiang.

Xing Jian in the greenhouse seemed to notice someone's gaze. He turned around suddenly, but did not see anyone by the window.

Xing Jian half-closed his eyes and looked at the trimmed forsythia beside him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an intriguing smile.

Leaving the greenhouse, Xingjian walked lightly, humming a tuneless little tune while looking at the bright red sunset in the sky. He felt like he was working in modern times.

His identity cannot be revealed, and Xiao Jiyun's blackening value remains high. 004 doesn't quite understand why the supervisor is in such a good mood now.

The two walked together without saying a word to the door of the eunuch's residence, but saw a familiar figure.

No, it should be said that it is a familiar figure in the memory of "Former Star Sword".

That was Lan Xin, the personal maid of the former queen and now the empress dowager Cui Yanran.

Lan Xin noticed the little eunuch who was jumping and skipping on the palace road early on. She frowned and looked at Xing Jian with a bit of displeasure in her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Quanzi's eye contact, Xingjian quickly bowed to Lan Xin.

"Hello, auntie."

Lan Xin was obviously pleased with his humble and pleasant look, and her frown relaxed a lot.

"Look up, you are the little Xingzi who is serving in the greenhouse now?" Lan Xin's words sounded from above Xingjian's head.

"Aunt, it's me. A few days ago, I angered the Holy Lord and was sent to clean the greenhouse." Xing Jian had a similar face, but looked exceptionally well-behaved.

Although they looked similar, Lan Xin didn't connect the young eunuch in front of her with Xing Jian at all. The young eunuch in front of her looked even worse than the spy sent in a few years ago.

After meeting Xing Jian, Lan Xin finally felt relieved. He was just a servant with a similar appearance, so the Empress Dowager didn't need to be nervous.

"Okay, be safe in the greenhouse, otherwise it's hard to say whether your life can be saved." Lan Xin left in a hurry after leaving these words.

Leaving Xiao Quanzi looking at Xingjian with a puzzled look.

"Xiao Xingzi, how do you know the people around the Empress Dowager? Have you offended anyone again?" Xiao Quanzi muttered to himself, not noticing Xingjian's pale face at all.

Xingjian just lowered his head and shook his head, then followed Xiao Quanzi into the eunuch's residence.

After leaving the eunuch's residence, Lan Xin went straight back to Gyeongbokgung Palace to report.

Inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, the air was filled with the aroma of incense, but Cui Yanran felt irritated for no reason. The years passed quickly, and it seemed that they had not left many traces on the Empress Dowager.

The green fingers fiddled with the South China Sea offering beads that Xiao Jiyun had just sent a few days ago, and there was an unremovable worry between his brows.

"Your Majesty, I have seen the little eunuch. He just looks a bit like the young prince." Lan Xin walked into the hall and reported to the empress dowager.

But when Cui Yanran heard Lan Xin's words, her brows not only did not relax, but became more and more furrowed.

"Lan Xin is a child who has no flaws at all. Then why did our Emperor invite the eminent monk from the Huguo Temple?" Cui Yanran swept the pearls beside her to the ground.

The round and smooth pearls rolled down with a "click" sound, scattered in the hall and disappeared in an instant.

A breeze outside the window blew the door curtains. It was early spring, but the sun set quickly. After a while, it was getting dark.

"Forget it, Lan Xin, wait for you to bring the little eunuch here tomorrow and I will interrogate him personally." Cui Yanran seemed to be tired. She waved her hand and let Lan Xin go out first. She stared out the window in a daze.

And this night is destined to be an extraordinary night.

The eminent monk who came from afar was secretly sent into the palace by the secret guards tonight. At this time, Xingjian was wandering in his dream and had no sense of the approaching danger.

A reed suddenly poked a small hole in the repaired window, and a wisp of thick white smoke with a sweet and strange fragrance was blown in through the hole.

Xingjian, who was lying on the bed, was unaware of all this. 004, who was still thinking about life, noticed the danger coming, but it was too late.

Xingjian was knocked unconscious by the drug, and no matter how loudly 004 shouted in his ear, he could not wake up.

I could only watch Xingjian fall asleep.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside. 004 remained highly alert. Although there was no physical body, 004 could remember the appearance of the person and provide some clues to Xingjian.

However, as soon as the man stepped into the room, his figure appeared in 004's sight, which made the system stunned.

The person who walked in was none other than the villain emperor Xiao Jiyun.

After recognizing the person's identity, 004 came to his senses and became more vigilant.

According to the information collected by 004, this tyrannical emperor was always cruel and ruthless to those who dared to imitate his old friend.

So is he here to harm Lord Xingjian?

But what 004's mechanical eyes saw was different from what he expected.

Xiao Jiyun was no longer wearing the dragon robe that represented his emperor status. He was dressed in black casual clothes, making it impossible to recognize that the person in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor in the lobby.

Xiao Jiyun walked quickly to the bed and leaned over to look at Xing Jian who was sleeping soundly after being drugged. His frowning brows relaxed a little.

"Xiaoxing..."
