"We dare not make any decisions rashly. All of this is arranged by our boss. Besides, if we take people out without permission, we will die outside."
After hearing this, the group of people pursed their lips and said nothing.
They longed too much for the life outside, and they were so foolish as to put their hopes on this guard. So they just went back in shame, and they didn't know what to say.
The old man seemed to be very good at handling this kind of thing, and these few short sentences left them speechless.
"Learn from this. People like you who showed compassion in the palace won't live long, you know? Besides, these people are not related to you at all, so why should you care for them?"
Before even leaving the house, the old fox was about to whisper in the ear of the newcomer and start reasoning with him. The reason why he spoke so softly was because he was afraid that some of the neurotic people in the cold palace would notice it. If they noticed it, it would be unacceptable if it had an impact on his future in the cold palace.
Before reaching the door of the cold palace, they found that the group of people had returned, and what they were holding in their hands were probably a pile of rotten vegetable leaves and a pile of paste residue.
The things they threw were quite accurate, and they all hit the eunuch directly. The curses they used were extremely harsh, but the eunuch did not shy away from it at all, and just knelt on the ground waiting for their attack.
"Do you know why your master pulled out your teeth and you've forgotten? You ungrateful thing! Do you know how your master repaid you when a slave like you had no parents?"
The eunuch just stepped back without any intention of explaining what he said. He looked trembling all over and curled up just like when they came.
"Why, what's the secret? We're just working for others anyway, so why don't you just tell us about it and we'll just listen to the story."
These words seemed to hit the mark, and the concubines found a place to sit down. While speaking, they picked up small stones from the ground and started throwing them at the eunuch.
"Sir, you don't know this man. You might say he's an ungrateful person who's not well fed. But you know he's the one who forcibly sent his master to the cold palace. If he hadn't been investigated thoroughly in the end, I'm afraid this eunuch would have been at large!"
"What?"
Could this be a complete betrayal?
"Then what."
"You know this guy is a spy, a household official, the kind who has an affair with someone else. Don't you think he looks like a eunuch?"
The old fox compared the appearance of Xiao Chenzi and the two of them and nodded quickly.
"It certainly doesn't look like it."
Isn't this nonsense? How can you tell who looks alike if they have no teeth?
"Let me tell you, this isn't a real eunuch. If this were to be made public, I'm afraid he'd be dead. Otherwise, he'd be a spy. Did you know that when his master died..."
Look at this guy, he is quite good at laying the groundwork when speaking. He can also find a place to speak while he is speaking, and his tone is even and uneven.
"Oh, so powerful?"
"Who says it's not true? When the master just died, I heard that the eunuch was so happy that he drove the maids crazy. I don't know why, but after a few days, all the maids and eunuchs in the palace went crazy."
"Are you all crazy?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"Tell me, isn't it extremely unlucky for this master to have such a eunuch? He even blames us for beating him. Do you think we beat him hard? Besides, he deserves it. Why is he the only one who is not crazy?"
Wait a minute.
What does this sentence mean.
That old fox doesn't just look at other people's faces, he also listens to other people's words from time to time. This makes him catch the patient. What does it mean that others are crazy but he is not crazy yet?
No, I have to ask later. It seems that this matter is not that simple.
"Oh... How miserable this master is."
"Who says it's not true? If you have power in the court, then get rid of these people right away. And that maidservant, these two are not good people. I heard it from her own mouth."
?
this.
According to what he said, I'm afraid there is nothing good in this world.
"What happened to the maid?"
When talking about the maid, the anger of this group of people was obviously much less than before. They seemed to be quite peaceful. But the words they said were a bit...
Something is not right.
"They were having an affair with someone, and they were doing something dirty together with this eunuch. They were both traitors. I'm afraid that's why they retreated early, and these soldiers were directly attracted here."
"These two are having an affair?"
"No, they were having an affair. I heard that every time they came back from outside, it took a long time, and the master always looked angry. Although I don't know what they said, in the end, when the master died, the maid just sat by and wrote and drew."
The world is truly fickle.
"This...are you still in charge of what others write and draw?"
"What else can I say? Besides, it's too late now. If it's someone else's family, you'd cry for a long time, but not this one. Forget it, I'm going to tell you all, and listen carefully."
Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers pricked up their ears, and even the ones guarding the gate came over to see what was going on out of curiosity. It seemed that each of the women in the harem had a big story behind her.
"Neither of these two is a good person. They had an affair and caused their master's death. One of them cried while laughing, and the other was good at writing and drawing. Look at them, they were thrown directly into the well in the cold palace. It's been a long time and they haven't been fished out yet."
"Hasn't it been fished out yet?"
"That's right! The body is in this well. Regardless of whether anyone fishes it out or not, the well has been sealed for such a long time."
The eunuch still didn't say anything, which prompted the old man next to him to kick him in a pretentious manner, causing the eunuch to move aside.
"Alright, alright, now that you've said that, we've heard what you said. Don't worry, we'll definitely clear that person's name."
"Then I thank you."
The group of people just smiled. Each of them was a small person. Besides, he was just a guard. To be honest, he was just a gatekeeper. There was no need to say thank you or not. They were all workers.
I'm not a favorite of the emperor, so who knows what will happen next.
Why.
After leaving the cold palace, the old fox knew that this matter was not that simple, so he looked at the eunuch, hoping that the eunuch could give him a reasonable explanation.
