Chapter 106 Okay, I'll do it now
After Wen Chuyun was promoted to concubine, she was granted the right to live in Wangyou Palace.
Now the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are preparing to clean up, so letting the people from the greenhouse do the work at this time will not be conspicuous and will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Xiyue immediately got to work.
She held a heavy load of silver in her arms and stood in an empty place in the southwest corner of the palace, waiting quietly.
After a moment, a young eunuch ran over in a hurry, "Sister Xiyue."
Xiyue looked back and asked cautiously, "Xiao Yuanzi, you came here by yourself, no one else is here, right?"
Xiao Yuanzi smiled and said, "No, I just kept it to myself. I didn't tell anyone."
"That's good. Haven't you always wanted to work in the Empress's palace? Now I have something for you to do. If you do it well, not only can you serve in Yaoguang Palace, but you can also get a reward. Are you willing?"
"Yes, I do! Sister Xiyue, please tell me what to do?" Xiao Yuanzi couldn't wait. He wanted to change places just to get more monthly silver.
Now that his parents are sick, they are counting on him to bring money back to save their lives.
Although it is comfortable to stay in the greenhouse and you won't offend anyone, you rarely get rewards. The monthly salary is limited, and you have to pay tribute to your superiors, so you can't save much.
Seeing that he was so impatient, Xiyue took out the silver and said, "Here, this is your reward. The task for you is very simple. No one lived in Wangyou Palace before, so the spring flowers should not have been planted yet. Plant the two kinds of flowers I mentioned in Wangyou Palace as soon as possible. Remember, you can only do this. If other people know about it, you will never be able to enter Yaoguang Palace."
Xiao Yuanzi agreed immediately.
This is not too difficult.
The buds of those two flowers look no different from the others. They also bloom in spring and have a long flowering period that lasts until late summer.
Moreover, he thought about it carefully and realized that those two kinds of flowers were not poisonous. Even if something really happened to Wen Chuyun, it would not be blamed on him.
Xiao Yuanzi is a smart man and he won't ask Jin Weige what he is going to do.
He is just a servant and he just needs to do what he is supposed to do.
"Sister Xiyue, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"You're welcome. Go ahead and do it. When you're done, remember to leave a mark here. I'll come over to check on you every day. Remember, don't tell anyone about this, and don't come to me again. When it's time for you to come, the Queen will naturally tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send for you."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Looking at Xiao Yuanzi's back as he quickly left, Xiyue sighed.
After all, they are from the same hometown and are also acquaintances in the palace.
But who makes the Empress more important?
In the afternoon.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to clean the Wangyou Palace.
The people in the flower room followed closely behind.
Many palace servants worked enthusiastically, leaving no corner untouched and polishing it until it was shiny.
In just one afternoon, Wangyou Palace was completely transformed and no longer looked lifeless as before.
Wen Chuyun moved in as soon as it got dark in the evening.
Taking advantage of the night, Xiyue came to the southwest corner, pushed aside the weeds and looked at the wall.
There is a small circle engraved on it, indicating that the thing has been done.
Xiyue picked up the stone, wiped off the marks on it, and then left quietly.
Two days later.
The harem has recovered from the shock of Wen Chuyun's pregnancy and regained its composure.
"Bang--!"
There was a noise outside the window.
Xiao Yuanzi, who had already fallen asleep, opened his eyes.
“Bang!”
Two more sounds.
He got up, put on his clothes and walked out.
"Xiao Yuanzi, where are you going?" Xiao Zhuzi, who was in the same room, opened his eyes, looking puzzled. "It's so late, don't move around. If you are caught by the guards, you will be beaten with a stick."
"Someone is looking for me." Under the moonlight, Xiao Yuanzi's eyes were bright, full of hope for life. "Xiao Zhuzi, I will never forget how good you have been to me. When I become successful, I will definitely help you."
After saying that, he hunched over and walked out the door.
Xiao Zhuzi pulled the quilt tighter, "It's not easy to be successful if you talk nonsense. I don't care. I have to get up early to work tomorrow."
He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Xiaozhuzi, something happened!"
Xiao Zhuzi opened his eyes dazedly, and saw the eunuch in the next room pushing him anxiously, "Don't sleep, Xiao Yuanzi... Xiao Yuanzi is gone!"
"What!" He sat up suddenly, all sleepiness gone in an instant, and hurried out the door without even putting on his clothes.
There was a pond next to the yard where they lived, and Xiao Yuanzi was lying next to it.
The eunuch in charge was full of disgust, covering his mouth and nose, "Send him out quickly, it's really unlucky."
"Wait!" Xiao Zhuzi rushed over, "Master, Xiao Yuanzi was fine yesterday, how could he be dead?"
"He must have missed a step on the way to the toilet and fell in and drowned. All right, get out of the way and don't delay us. Everyone, go away. You don't have to work anymore, right? What are you all doing here to watch the fun? Go back, put on your clothes, and get back to work!"
Xiao Zhuzi wanted to say something, but was pulled away by others, "Alright, I know you have a good relationship with Xiao Yuanzi, but now the person is dead, what else can you do? Our lives are not our lives, so hurry up and work."
Xiao Zhuzi was pushed back to her room and had not yet fully recovered from her shock.
No, Xiao Yuanzi definitely didn’t die from stepping on empty air!
The toilet is so far from the pond, who would go there!
Someone came to see him yesterday, maybe that person is the murderer!
Xiao Zhuzi thought about what Xiao Yuanzi said yesterday, guessed something, threw herself on the bed and started searching.
After a long time, he finally found the purse from the pillow.
Seeing the heavy silver inside, he became more certain that his guess was correct.
Xiao Yuanzi was murdered!
He carefully searched the purse and silver but found no clues. However, the cloth looked very precious and must have belonged to the nobleman above him.
"Xiaozhuzi, hurry up, let's go to work!"
“Here it comes!”
Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly hid the purse, making sure no one could find it, then he put on his clothes and went to work with the other eunuchs.
Bai Wutong opened his eyes.
The sun is shining.
But her mood just couldn't get better.
Chan'er came to serve, "Madam, I just went to get breakfast and heard someone say that the eunuch in the flower room fell into the water and died. I immediately thought of Lady Gao..."
Yingchun, who was standing next to her, glared at her and interrupted her harshly, "What are you talking about? Everyone has their own destiny. Your Majesty is destined to be rich and noble. You cannot bear to hear such things."
Chan'er stuck out her tongue awkwardly. She originally wanted to find some topics to make the queen feel better, but she ended up saying the wrong thing. "My queen, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such things to dirty your ears."
"No, you did a great job. Tell me if something like this happens again."
Bai Wutong looked at her own white jade hands and had a premonition in her heart.
The death of that young eunuch was most likely not normal.
The harem looks normal now, but I'm afraid a storm is about to come...
