Chapter 455: Establishing Authority

"Little Dongzi, Little Beizi, those are two fools. In order to win the credit, they are so quick to speak in front of the Queen Mother. Is it right to do so? Who is the Queen Mother? After being in the harem for decades, she has been able to become the Queen Mother until now. Do you think she is made of tofu?" Zhu Gong, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was criticizing the two palace maids when

he heard someone coming outside. "See Madam Gui!" The sensible little eunuch immediately stepped forward and saluted Madam Gui, and also informed Zhu Gong, who was scolding people inside, to pay attention.

Eunuch Zhu immediately put down his sleeves, walked out quickly, walked to Nanny Gui, and said with a smile: "Nanny Gui, why are you here?"

Nanny Gui walked in with a serious expression: "Well, what's going on in Ziyue Palace recently? The servants are always running around and don't know any rules. Eunuch Zhu, don't just ignore things because Eunuch Gao is not in the harem. No matter what, you are the deputy chief steward, and you have to let people see your ability as the deputy chief steward!"

Nanny Gui has no status in the harem, she is just a person around the empress dowager, but even Eunuch Gao dare not disobey Nanny Gui easily.

What this person said can represent the empress dowager.

"Thank you for your reminder, Madam Gui. I'll remember it. I'll tidy up the Ziyue Palace. His Royal Highness Prince Xian is busy with court affairs all day long. I want to ask him, but I'm always afraid of disturbing His Royal Highness Prince Xian!" said Eunuch Zhu.

"Don't push everything to His Royal Highness Prince Xian. His Majesty the Emperor has been very busy in recent years. Eunuch Gao is busy by His Majesty's side, but he handles things in an orderly manner. So, Eunuch Zhu, you still need to learn more from Eunuch Gao!" said Madam Gui. "

Yes, yes, Madam Gui, you are right. I'm not afraid of not doing well and making people think that the people brought up by Eunuch Gao are so incompetent, so I dare not move." Eunuch Zhu continued.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. His Royal Highness Prince Xian must be well protected now. Bring all the servants in Ziyue Palace here. I will ask them carefully one by one." Aunt Gui said.

Aunt Gui was drinking tea, and Eunuch Zhu asked people to call all the eunuchs and palace maids in Ziyue Palace.

"Aunt Gui, they are all here!" said Eunuch Zhu.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll ask!" said Aunt Gui.

Although Eunuch Zhu was not happy, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Aunt Gui.

So, Eunuch Zhu took a look at the two palace maids he had scolded before, then turned around and left quickly. If he didn't leave, Aunt Gui would probably find out something and would definitely find fault with him.

Eunuch Zhu was in a difficult situation now, because he had a handle in the hands of that person.

Over the years, although Eunuch Gao knew something, he always turned a blind eye to it, so he dumped things out recklessly. In the past three years, he has been more restrained, but he still gets itchy hands when he sees something good.

As a result, he was caught by chance. The man found him, caught him, and found out all the shops he had opened outside.

If this was known by the palace and the censors in the court, it would be a big deal to skin him alive.

So, Eunuch Zhu was caught, and the man asked him to do this and that one by one.

Eunuch Zhu had been helping that man, but he didn't expect that he was going too far and was going to destroy the entire Wei Dynasty.

Eunuch Zhu knew that a little boy like him was probably destined to be abandoned, so he thought about sticking to one side.

At least, he would have a chance to survive. If that person reported him now, he would be dead now.

The emperor was cruel and a tyrant who killed decisively.

The empress dowager was sharp and most people did not dare to offend her easily.

Looking at Xiao Dongzi and Xiao Beizi, they were killed directly without even a sound.

Eunuch Zhu did not dare to do so, and he hurried back.

Nanny Gui questioned them one by one. When she asked Guihua and Cuiguo, although the answers of these two maids were not flawless at all, Nanny Gui still found a clue.

"You said you entered the palace three years ago?" Nanny Gui asked.

"Yes, Madam, I was bought into the palace three years ago, when I was thirteen years old!" Guihua said.

"Thirteen years old, where did you come from? Who bought you?" Madam Gui continued to ask.

"Madam, I came from Su County, and was bought by Eunuch Zhu, so when Eunuch Zhu came to serve His Royal Highness the King of Xian, he brought me with him!" The maid said immediately.

After all, this Eunuch Zhu was also a deputy general manager. Although Madam Gui didn't treat Eunuch Zhu well just now, after all, he was under Eunuch Zhu, and this Madam would not mess with him.

Cuiguo frowned when she saw Guihua like this, and said, "Mammy, although we were bought by Eunuch Zhu, we were in the laundry department before, and were only recently transferred here by Eunuch Zhu to serve the prince together!"

"What did Eunuch Zhu ask you to do? Are Xiaodongzi and Xiaobeizi also with you? Did Eunuch Zhu tell you to keep an eye on His Royal Highness the King?" asked Mammy Gui.

"Plop!" The two maids immediately knelt on their knees.

Guihua shook her head and said, "Mammy, we don't want to die. We won't be like Xiaodongzi. We will serve the prince well and do our job properly!"

"What about you?" Mammy Gui looked at Cuiguo and asked.

Cuiguo nodded: "Madame Gui, this is what I mean. We will be fine. We will do our job properly. We will be fine!"

"Well, get up. I don't mean to bother you. It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Xian is of a special status. If you serve him well, it will be a good thing. If you don't serve him well, then no one will be fine!" said Madam Gui.

Cuiguo and Guihua nodded immediately. They kowtowed to Madam Gui together: "Please give us some advice. We will do whatever you say!"

"I need to know the details of Eunuch Zhu!" said Madam Gui.

Cuiguo kowtowed: "Madam, we know that Eunuch Zhu bought us and asked us to serve the prince, and then asked Xiaodongzi and others to keep an eye on the prince. We don't know anything else. Just now, the eunuch was still telling us to pay more attention to the prince. We wanted to say that we would not do it, but we dared not!"

"Well, do whatever Eunuch Zhu asks you to do. After all, he is the deputy chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he will always have some sense of propriety!" Madam Gui said coldly.

She took away five or six palace maids and eunuchs from Ziyue Palace, but Cuiguo and Guihua stayed.
