When the eunuch sent by Song Chengyin went to Chongde Hall, Jiang Li was sweeping the yard.

New eunuchs usually do cleaning work in various places in the palace, and all the dirty and tiring work are assigned to them.

Eunuch Fu is considered an old man in the palace. He has been in the imperial palace for some years. In addition, he has a godfather who serves beside the imperial concubine. Now he can be called a third-class eunuch.

The third-class eunuch was mainly responsible for assigning tasks to his subordinates, so the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department did not dare to offend him.

They were afraid that Eunuch Fu would secretly make things difficult for them and assign them endless dirty and tiring work.

Jiang Li's defiance today offended Eunuch Fu, and now she is working under his supervision.

"This side, that side, and that side are all tasks you need to complete today. If you don't complete them, don't even think about eating!"

Eunuch Fu put one hand on his waist and pointed at Jiang Li with his other hand with his index finger pinched. He was arrogant and openly taking revenge.

The eunuchs who were sweeping the side looked at each other and sighed in their hearts after hearing this.

Having offended Eunuch Fu, Xiao Lizi will probably suffer in the future!

Just then, a voice came from behind everyone.

"Where is Master Xiaolizi?"

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw the newcomer's attire that symbolized a first-class eunuch.

He didn't even dare to breathe! When he saw the person coming, Eunuch Fu hurriedly put on a smile and came to the eunuch with a flattering face.

"Excuse me, sir, what are your instructions? Did Xiao Lizi make any mistakes? Don't worry, sir, I can leave this small matter of punishing the servants to me. How can I trouble you to do it yourself?"

The eunuch frowned and said, "Who are you? I'm looking for Eunuch Xiaolizi, why are you butting in?"

Eunuch Fu's face froze, and his hands hanging by his sides tightened slightly.

Due to the status of the person in front of him, he dared not show any displeasure on his face, and could only smile awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I am a third-class eunuch. All new eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department are under the management of the Zajia family. No matter where they go, they must report to the Zajia family first."

The implication is that he is Xiao Lizi's boss, and if you want to find Xiao Lizi, you have to ask him first.

Unexpectedly, after Eunuch Fu reported his identity, the first-class eunuch didn't take him seriously at all and glanced at him indifferently.

"I am here on His Majesty's orders to find Eunuch Xiaolizi to take up duty in the Imperial Study. Why do you want to ask about His Majesty's affairs?"

Eunuch Fu's face turned blue and purple, and his expression kept changing, it was so exciting!

"No, no, no, I don't dare, I don't dare! Father-in-law has misunderstood!"

Eunuch Fu quickly waved his hand and put the hat of contempt for imperial power on him. Even if he had ten heads, they would not be enough to chop off!

"Don't you dare? Get out of the way!?"

Those who can serve the emperor are all very shrewd. How could they not see that Eunuch Fu was deliberately targeting Xiao Lizi?

Since Eunuch Xiaolizi was chosen by His Majesty, he wouldn't mind doing him a favor and embarrassing those who targeted him everywhere!

Being confronted in person, Eunuch Fu was embarrassed and had to step aside even though he was unwilling. He did not dare to offend the first-class eunuch in front of him.

The first eunuch snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Eunuch Fu, and walked straight towards Jiang Li.

The petite Jiang Li was grunting as she carried a wooden bucket to water the flowers in front of the flower bed. The bucket was too full of water and splashed out with the bumps. Jiang Li's shoes and clothes were all wet, and she looked in a miserable state.

"Oh, little pear master, put it down, put it down quickly, really, how can you do such heavy work!"

Jiang Li put down the wooden barrel and looked at the visitor with a puzzled look: "Who is the father-in-law?"

"I was sent by His Majesty to summon Eunuch Xiaolizi to serve in the Imperial Study. Eunuch Xiaolizi can call me Eunuch Mao."

Eunuch Mao first introduced himself to Jiang Li and explained his purpose to her.

"Your Majesty is looking for me?" Jiang Li was shocked. "But hasn't Eunuch Zhang already gone to the Imperial Study to be on duty?"

Speaking of Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Mao showed a slight sneer on his face: "Someone thought he was taking over Eunuch Xiaolizi's job, but he has been dragged away and beaten with a stick."

"Eunuch Xiaolizi, His Majesty is still waiting in the Imperial Study. Let's go now. We can't afford to delay too long on the road and make His Majesty unhappy!"

Eunuch Mao grabbed Jiang Li's arm and pulled her towards the imperial study.

In the end, Jiang Li didn't even have time to change her wet clothes before she hurried to the imperial study with Eunuch Mao.

On the way, they met an unexpected guest, who was Eunuch Zhang who had just been beaten with a stick.

Eunuch Zhang was beaten with a hundred sticks and nearly lost his life.

Now he was lying on a stretcher being carried by two young eunuchs. No bloodstains could be seen on his navy blue eunuch uniform, but large areas of his clothes on his buttocks and back were wet. As soon as he approached, he could smell a strong smell of blood.

Eunuch Zhang lay on the stretcher with a horrible look on his face. His voice had been hoarse from the execution and he could not make a sound.

"Eunuch Mao."

When they saw Eunuch Mao and Jiang Li coming towards them, the two young eunuchs stopped and greeted them politely.

Eunuch Mao glanced at Eunuch Zhang lying on the stretcher and waved his hand: "Take him away, take him away! This is really unlucky!"

"yes!"

Two young eunuchs hurriedly carried the stretcher forward.

Eunuch Mao turned his head to look at Jiang Li and said to her, "Eunuch Xiaolizi, that is Eunuch Zhang who thought he was going to the Imperial Study to take your place this morning."

After hearing the three words "Little Pear", Eunuch Zhang, who was lying half-dead on the stretcher, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look behind him.

After seeing the familiar figure, he suddenly clenched his teeth.

Small pear!

Just wait for me. One day I will take back every bit of the humiliation I suffered today from you!

Eunuch Zhang blamed Jiang Li for all the crimes he had suffered today, and he would not be a human being if he did not take revenge! Jiang Li did not know that Eunuch Zhang hated her, but even if Eunuch Zhang did not cause trouble for her, she would come to him in person to collect the debt! "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiaolizi is here."

After successfully bringing the person to the imperial study, Eunuch Mao reported to the emperor and then stood in his own seat in an orderly manner.

Jiang Li walked to the jade table and was about to kneel down to grind ink when Song Chengyin, who was reviewing memorials with his head down, looked up at her.

He narrowed his eyes when he saw Jiang Li's wet shoes and clothes.

"Being bullied?"
