The gatekeeper looked and saw that it was a small bottle of wine and a packet of snacks.
He glanced at it, smiled, and the fisherwoman quickly said, "It's not much, but it's a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it and enjoy it with your brothers! We'll need your help again in the future!"
He looked at her suspiciously. The fisherwoman probably knew what he was worried about. After all, she was a servant in the palace and naturally had to be careful. So she whispered, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone or anyone else."
Hearing this, he felt much relieved, but still raised his voice, looking quite proud, and said, "Actually, it's fine to wait for you here, but it's too hot and I'll get thirsty. You're a good person, so go ahead!"
Seeing that his tone had softened, the fisherwoman smiled and said, "Of course, I would feel bad if you got heatstroke, brother."
The gatekeeper nodded, accepted what she brought, and opened the door. "Go on, go on, get out!"
While he was talking to the fisherwoman, one of the women stealthily touched the eunuch guarding the gate from behind, and the bunch of keys on his waist disappeared.
The man, however, was completely unaware, preoccupied with seeing them off, and did not notice that the key on his waist had disappeared.
The fisherwoman and the fisherwoman behind her thanked them with smiles and left. The eunuch weighed the pastries in his hand, went into his duty room, and enjoyed them with the other eunuchs on duty.
Several women exited through the side door, exchanged glances, and seeing that the woman who had stolen the key remained silent, they roughly understood that the matter was settled. They quickly left and waited in a nearby alley.
"How is it?" the leading fisherwoman asked.
The other woman smiled and shook her fingers; the key was already on her finger.
The group of people chuckled slightly, "Now we just need to wait for that eunuch to eat and pass out, then we can go in."
"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings! Anyone could get a job with people like that! But it's thanks to these good-for-nothings that our plan has been able to proceed more smoothly!" one of the women said disdainfully.
They waited for fifteen minutes, and when they figured it was about time, they quickly walked toward the side door.
They used the key to open the side door and quietly slipped inside. When they reached the guard room on one side, they saw the three eunuchs who had been there earlier fast asleep on the table.
The fisherwoman walked up to the eunuch and kicked him. The eunuch's leg twitched, but he didn't react at all.
Another woman walked around to the table and saw that the bottles of wine and pastries were empty, with some spilled wine and pastry powder on the table. She said, "They ate it all. They've definitely fallen for the trap."
This operation is extremely important. Better safe than sorry. They have been planning this for a long time and will not overlook any detail.
They smiled at each other, took off their eunuch clothes, put them on, tied them up with hemp rope, and gagged them.
Despite all this fuss, the eunuchs still didn't wake up, which shows how effective the sleeping potion was.
The women changed into eunuch clothes. The clothes were loose on them and looked a bit too big, but they still looked quite attractive. They then put on eunuch hats, making them look like three little eunuchs.
