Chapter 198: Weak Palace Maids VS Eunuch Brothers (7)

Qianqing Palace.

"Who are those rootless people who are so bold as to touch the emperor's things?!" Eunuch Wang swung the whisk in his hand, smiling with a ferocious expression.

In front of him, all the young eunuchs and palace maids who served in the palace knelt.

"Eunuch Wang, we are wise. Even if we have a hundred courages, we dare not do such a thing." Xiaoquanzi hurriedly begged for mercy.

"You dare not, but I can't guarantee that there are some people." Eunuch Wang's sharp eyes swept over the kneeling palace maids and eunuchs. Wherever his eyes went, the palace maids and eunuchs all kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Only the young eunuch kneeling on the outside did not change his expression at all.

"You, come here." He pointed at the young eunuch kneeling by the gate with his whisk.

"Eunuch, please spare me, please spare me, I still have an eighty-year-old mother, and I have..." The young eunuch knelt all the way up, but his eyes were looking straight ahead, without any change.

At first, I thought it was this young eunuch who took it, but when he got closer, I found that he was born with green eyes. Eunuch Wang kicked him up and cursed: "You are all rootless people, what else do you have! What else do you have! What else do you have!"

"Eunuch, stop, be careful not to hurt yourself." Ju Heng, who was ordered by Eunuch Wu to deliver the filial silver, saw this scene and pondered for a long time before speaking.

"You are not a servant in my Qianqing Palace, so don't meddle in other people's business." Eunuch Wang couldn't find the thief and was in a bad mood.

"If you are willing to listen to me, I guarantee that I can find the thief." Ju Heng stood at the door very confidently. In fact, he didn't know whether Eunuch Wang would listen to him.

Eunuch Wang stared at him for a while, thought for a few seconds, and then kicked the eunuch in front of him and said, "Go ahead."

Seeing that Eunuch Wang was willing to listen to him, Ju Heng had a better idea of ​​what to say next. He walked in calmly and whispered, "Reporting to the eunuch, Ju Heng thinks it is not important who took it. What is important now is who stands up and admits it."

Eunuch Wang glared at him and said angrily, "I will feel unfair if I don't catch this little thief."

He has been managing the Qianqing Palace for more than ten years, and there has never been any theft. Today, if the emperor was not in a good mood and found out about this matter and didn't bother with him, the chief steward, he would definitely be in trouble. Besides, if the news of the theft of things in his Qianqing Palace spread to the harem, would he still have the face of the chief steward.

"Eunuch, be patient and keep things calm." Ju Heng casually pointed at a young eunuch who had just been kicked down by him and said, "After giving an explanation to the emperor, we can investigate secretly. Wouldn't it be more labor-saving?"

Eunuch Wang blinked and blinked, looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"

"Everything in these palaces has its own mark. When the little thief sees that everything is calm, he will definitely go out to sell the stolen goods. Then we just need to wait for the thief to be caught red-handed." Ju Heng and Eunuch Wang, who understood, smiled at each other.

"You said you have an eighty-year-old mother, but is that true?" Eunuch Wang lowered his head and looked at the young eunuch with blue eyes who had been kicked down by him.

"Reporting to the eunuch, in addition to the eighty-year-old mother, Xiao Shuzi also has several young brothers and sisters at home." The young eunuch was talking to the chief steward for the first time, and he kept kowtowing, kept kowtowing.

"Okay, stop kowtowing, it makes me upset." Eunuch Wang roared, and Xiao Shuzi immediately restrained his hands and feet and dared not move.

"If you admit this, your mother and your brothers and sisters will be my mother and brothers and sisters in the future, so they will naturally have to eat and drink well." Eunuch Wang squatted in front of him and looked at him.

Xiao Shuzi was still a little unresponsive, but when he heard that his mother and brothers and sisters were supported by someone, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.

"Okay, the thief who stole things from the Qianqing Palace has been caught. Take Xiao Shuzi to the Shenxingsi." Eunuch Wang went out with a hunched back.

When you get older, you don't want to see blood or anything like that.

Xiao Shuzi reacted when he was caught by other eunuchs. He struggled and cried, repeating: "It wasn't me who stole it, it wasn't me who stole it."

Ju Heng felt like a rabbit died and the fox mourned, but he was powerless. He could only whisper in his ear: "If you make trouble again, Eunuch Wang will be unhappy, and your mother and brothers and sisters will have no one to support them in the future."

He knew clearly that the little eunuch weeding in front of him had no power and would not have the courage to steal things.

But if the young eunuch really resisted Eunuch Wang, he would be the one who would die in the end. Now, Eunuch Wang promised the young eunuch that he would take care of his relatives. If he admitted it, it would probably be good for his family.

Xiao Shuzi obviously figured it out and shut up. Qingyan, who had always been unable to see clearly, suddenly focused now. He looked at Ju Heng and kept repeating: "I am guilty, I am guilty, I was so bold as to steal things from the Palace of Heavenly Purity..."

Eunuch Wang, who was admiring the moon with his hands behind his back, heard the footsteps behind him and said, "It's all taken care of."

Ju Heng put the filial silver that had been prepared long ago in his hand and nodded.

"You have a promising future." Eunuch Wang weighed the silver in his hand and smiled.

He clearly felt that it was heavier than what Eunuch Wu had given him before. It seemed that the young eunuch in front of him secretly added some.

"Ju Heng has no other abilities, the only thing is loyalty." Ju Heng also laughed.

"Do your best. I'll transfer you here after this matter is resolved." Eunuch Wang gave him the promise he wanted.

Xixiu Palace.

"Why did the emperor want to accompany me today?" Concubine Hui hurried over when she saw the bright yellow figure, but the tone of voice made people feel uncomfortable.

The emperor put his arm around her waist, felt her weight, and joked, "My beloved concubine seems to have gained weight these days."

He behaved exactly the same as usual, as if he had forgotten his extreme behavior towards Concubine Hui last time.

Concubine Hui naturally took advantage of the situation and said coquettishly, "It's all the supplements sent by the emperor."

"I think my beloved concubine looks good now." The emperor put her down and sat at the round table.

"The emperor came in to be busy with official business, and he looks a lot more haggard." Concubine Hui walked to his side and gave him a massage, and whispered, "I have recently found a new palace maid. Her massage skills are first-class, and every time she makes my concubine's fatigue disappear."

The emperor, who had been enjoying it with his eyes closed, looked up at her and was quite interested: "My beloved concubine, are you going to introduce me to her?"

"I promise that Your Majesty will not be disappointed." Concubine Hui stopped massaging her hands.

"I never thought that my beloved concubine is such a wonderful person." The emperor grabbed her hand and held it in his arms, watching her eyes move.
