Chapter 187: Taking the Dark Road (2)
Eunuch Gao quickly responded with a smile.
But Shen Miao suddenly spoke up and said softly: "Since you have made a mistake, you should be punished."
Everyone looked at her in surprise. The young eunuch shuddered, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes as he looked at Shen Miao. Shen Miao ignored him and left with Luo Xueyan. Before leaving, he still said lightly: "If you don't understand the rules, you must be taught. The palace is different from the outside world, and now is different from the past."
The figures of Shen Miao and her group gradually faded away. Eunuch Gao said to the two guards, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
Little Li's face was filled with resentment and even more so, fear. He didn't know what he had done wrong. In the small garden at the Return to Court Banquet, Shen Miao's personal maid Jingzhe gave him a silver ingot and told her that Miss Shen was unwell and would not drink the wine-fermented rice wine prepared for the palace banquet. She only needed a cup of clear lotus tea. She asked him to make some allowances at the banquet later. He felt that this was a simple matter to get a silver ingot, so why not do it? Moreover, if he could please this Miss Shen, he might even be blessed with a noble fortune in the future.
But despite all his calculations, Little Li hadn't expected Shen Qing to be pregnant, and that Qinghe tea had become the culprit that triggered all the trouble. It could be said that that cup of Qinghe tea had caused all the trouble, and after much investigation, the source of that cup of tea was traced back to him.
Xiao Lizi explained countless times, but no one believed him. The silver he received was also ordinary silver, not even official silver. How could a lady from a wealthy family give a reward with such ordinary silver? No one believed his words, and he must be a bad person. What awaits him?
Outside, Shen Miao walked quietly. She knew better than anyone what awaited Little Li Zi. The palace was a place where black and white could easily be turned upside down. If one stood high, one could turn black into white. If one was originally short, then sorry, even white words could be turned into black. When Fu Xiuyi first ascended the throne, Little Li Zi was a dog at Eunuch Gao's beck and call. It was because she felt sorry for Little Li Zi that she was willing to give him face in the palace. Later, Little Li Zi became Eunuch Li, and she went from being the queen to being deposed. The eunuch she had personally promoted even personally saw her off and gave her a piece of advice: things are different now.
Now she was truly fulfilling this sentiment. This life was different from the past. Now she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, while the other party was just a lowly mortal. She didn't even bother to think too much about her attack. This was clean and efficient, and it was perfect.
She and Luo Xueyan were walking ahead, unaware that behind them in the winding corridor, someone was watching her from behind and sighing, "Does this Miss Shen have a grudge against that young eunuch? She's lost someone's life for no reason."
Beside him, Xie Jingxing sneered at him: "When did you become compassionate?"
"A doctor should have the same care as a parent." Gao Yang fanned himself and suddenly thought of something. His expression grew serious as he said, "The young lady of the Shen family is not ordinary. Just now in the palace, she looked at me for a long time. Could it be... that she discovered my identity?"
"impossible."
"The way she looks at me is really scary," Gao Yang touched his chin and thought carefully before speaking: "Could it be that she is attracted to me?"
Xie Jingxing stared at him expressionlessly and spat out one word: "Get lost."
"You're such a boring person." Gao Yang shook his head with regret. "Although a major event is imminent, your temper is getting more and more aggressive. You should relax a little."
Xie Jingxing looked into the distance and said, "Yu Shu is here."
"What?" Gao Yang was surprised. "When?"
