Chapter 37 Has anyone been here?

Chu Ran kept this in mind and planned to pay more attention to the movements in Zixia Palace in the near future. Who knows what tricks might be hidden in this matter.

"Eunuch Chu has returned from receiving the things?"

Chu Ran just entered the yard and happened to run into Xiao Yingzi. Xiao Yingzi came forward with a smile, first looked at the things Chu Ran and his friends brought back, and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of things." Then she waved her hand and told the people behind him, "Why don't you help Eunuch Chu share some of them."

Chu Ran originally had a lot of things in his hands, but after they were divided up, Chu Ran had nothing left.

Chu Ran always felt that Xiao Yingzi was not as simple as he appeared.

First of all, he had personally witnessed Xiao Yingzi and other eunuchs plotting secretly. Chu Ran had also suspected whether Xiao Yingzi had other intentions. He even suspected whether Xiao Yingzi was someone sent from Concubine Xi's palace. But the strange thing was that up to now, Xiao Yingzi had not done anything to harm Qiluan Palace or Concubine Li.

Another thing that Chu Ran couldn't understand the most was that Xiao Yingzi was the most favored person by Concubine Li's side. Because of his actions, Concubine Li now likes him more and more, and even has the tendency to overshadow Xiao Yingzi. In this way, he has also snatched Concubine Li's favor from Xiao Yingzi. There is a competitive relationship between him and Xiao Yingzi. No matter how good Xiao Yingzi is, she shouldn't have no opinions about him.

But for such a long time, Xiao Yingzi not only never gave him any disapproval, but also often helped him. Xiao Yingzi was too generous. If Chu Ran had not seen Xiao Yingzi's incident before, he would have suspected that he was judging others by his own meanness.

Looking at Xiao Yingzi's back in front of him, Chu Ran frowned, and became more and more confused.

He was really finding it increasingly difficult to understand this man.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yingzi went out for a while.

Chu Ran asked around and found out that Xiao Yingzi seemed to have gone out to do something on the orders of Concubine Li.

After Xiao Yingzi left the house, he did what Concubine Li had arranged for him to do first, and then turned in another direction.

The place he went to was the residence of Eunuch Zhao Zhongyi.

Soon it was time to get off duty. Chu Ran was walking back. He looked up and saw someone walking towards him.

The man seemed to have discovered Chu Ran, so he turned and went directly to the side road.

"Hey! Eunuch Ying!" Chu Ran shouted.

Then he saw Xiao Yingzi stopped far away, Chu Ran quickly caught up with her, Xiao Yingzi also turned around and said with a smile: "Eunuch Chu, are you on duty?"

Chu Ran nodded, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yingzi.

"Where did Eunuch Ying go?"

"Ah, I just went to the Yu Kitchen. Recently, Concubine Li has not had a very good appetite, so I went to tell the Yu Kitchen to prepare some easily digestible food for her tomorrow."

“So that’s how it is.”

Xiao Yingzi smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry to go back and report to the queen, so I won't tell eunuch Chu and will leave first."

After watching Xiao Yingzi leave, Chu Ran turned around and planned to go back.

He had just taken two steps forward when suddenly, Chu Ran stopped. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yingzi's back again.

His brows slowly and deeply furrowed.

This road does not seem to be the way to the kitchen... but... the way back to his residence.

After returning to his residence, Li Fu moved a stool and sat on the porch, concentrating on carving his wood carving.

During the day, when Chu Ran was on duty and Li Fu had nothing to do, he would spend most of his time doing wood carving.

When he heard someone coming in, Li Fu knew without looking up that it must be Chu Ran who had returned.

It was not until Chu Ran walked up to Li Fu and looked down at him that Li Fu raised his head. His face was childish and innocent, but his eyes were deep and profound, which did not belong to his age.

"You..." Chu Ran pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Has anyone been here just now?"

"Who are you talking about?"

Chu Ran didn't say anything.

Li Fu said, "If you are talking about the old eunuch, he just left. How come you ran into him on the road?"

Chu Ran: “…No.”

"Oh." Li Fu lowered his head and continued with his work.
