Chapter 71 Birds of a feather flock together

Xu An came back very quickly.

His eyes sparkled as he looked at Huo Jinchi and said, "Your Majesty, it is just as Miss Yunqin guessed..."

"Hmm?" Hawking raised his eyes.

Xu An coughed, then immediately put on a smile and changed his words: "Just as the emperor and Miss Yunqin guessed, I almost killed Miss Ajing. It was someone in the harem. I told Kong Cainu about this, and she immediately begged you to kill her."

"It seems that she knows very well who this person is, and that he is the one who ordered her to murder Su Meiren's unborn child." Huo Jinchi gritted his teeth and asked, "She still refuses to tell me?"

Xu An shook his head. "If it weren't for the fact that I and the others were prepared, she would have bitten off half of her tongue. She would rather die than tell anyone."

Kong Cainü's resolute look flashed through his mind. She bit off her tongue. Not only did she want to die, she also planned to go to the underworld after death and would not reveal who ordered her to do so.

Of course he would not tell this to the emperor.

When Huo Jinchi heard this, he knew that she would never speak, so he could only say, "You must keep an eye on her."

"That's what Miss Yunqin said." Xu An quickly continued.

Huo Jinchi glanced at him and curled his lips. "I can't leave. You go in person and tell her about this. Tell her not to worry. I will go to see her when I am free."

Xu An really wanted to say, can't Miss Yunqin be given a place to live closer to Tongming Palace?

Close, spacious...

Of course he didn't dare to say this, so he could only nod, lower his eyes and leave the hall.

——

After listening to Xu An's story, Yun Qin understood everything. When she heard that they had already sent more people, she nodded.

"Thank you, Eunuch Xu, for coming here in person." She thanked him with a smile.

After this incident, Xu An knew how much the emperor liked Miss Yun Qin, and he became even more polite to her, saying hurriedly, "How dare I, how dare I, this is our duty as a servant."

Thinking of the emperor's expression, he added, "The emperor also praised you, young lady, for having a clever mind. All of us put together are not as good as you."

Yun Qin smiled softly, not believing at all that this was something Hawking Chi would say.

"Please also thank the Emperor for me, Eunuch."

"Of course, of course."

Xu An added: "The Emperor also told the young lady not to worry and that he would come to see her when he was free."

"Is the emperor busy?" Yun Qin asked casually to show her concern for the emperor.

"That's right. There is unrest in the west, and the emperor and his ministers are discussing who to send to suppress it. If they send troops, it will involve food and fodder. The emperor is so anxious that he only slept for two hours last night."

Yun Qin wasn't sure if this was something she could hear, so she just said, "It's really hard."

Xu An nodded, "In addition to these state affairs, the emperor is also concerned about the young lady. Every time the young lady reports a pulse, the emperor has to personally review it."

Miss Yunqin is not the kind of person who becomes arrogant when she is spoiled, so it probably doesn't matter if I tell her all this.

As a servant, of course you want your master to achieve his wish as soon as possible.

Yun Qin was somewhat surprised, but it was just a surprise. She blushed a little and whispered, "Eunuch, please advise the emperor to rest more."

"I will convey the girl's words to the emperor." Xu An immediately smiled.

Yun Qin was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head. "Thank you, eunuch."

"There are many things to do, so I won't stay any longer. You can take a rest, young lady."

At this time, Rong Xin had gone to see Ah Jing and was not with Yun Qin. Only Xiao Dezi was there, so she said to Xiao Dezi, "Send Eunuch Xu out."

"yes."

Xu An glanced at Xiao Dezi with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

After coming out, he said to Xiao Dezi: "You are a man of character, you have some ability, and more importantly, you followed the right master."

He still remembered what happened when this kid went to the Ministry of Punishment with him.

When he first went there, his legs were still shaking. The people who had followed him for so many years didn't dare to take a close look at the criminals who were sent in for committing crimes, but he stared at them intently, and soon they gained courage.

When interrogating Jin Quan and several others, he even volunteered. It is estimated that Jin Quan's legs were broken by him.

"I still have to rely on Eunuch Xu to carry me." Xiao Dezi lowered his head with a humble look.

Xu An smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. Your good days are still ahead of you. Maybe I will have to call you Eunuch De."

"How could Xiao Dezi have the courage? He will always respect and serve his father-in-law." Xiao Dezi raised his head and glanced at Xu An.

They were all smart people, so Xu An naturally understood what he meant.

When the old eunuchs in the palace get old, they will adopt a few adopted sons to be by their side, so that they can have someone to look after them when they are old, and also so that when they are no longer useful, the master will still have someone close to them who can talk to him about them from time to time.

Xu An didn't take it seriously before, but when he got older, he started to think about it a little.

The look he gave Xiao Dezi was different. He looked at Xiao Dezi again and asked him, "You are following Miss Yunqin. When she gets promoted, she will be a small steward. If you follow me, you will have to go to the front of the court and be a small eunuch. Are you willing?"

Xiao Dezi immediately said, "Of course I am willing."

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are a man of courage and ambition. Wait a little longer. You still need to serve the girl. When she gets promoted, if you still don't change your mind, come find me."

"Yes, thank you, Eunuch Xu." Xiao Dezi showed some joy on his face.

This happiness was not fake; he was truly happy.

It would be nice to stay by my sister's side forever, but the example of Concubine Su is right in front of us. If my sister wants to be a concubine, she must always be favored and move up the career ladder, and she must have her own person in front of her.

And I am the most suitable person!

In Xiao Dezi's downcast eyes, there is determination and ambition.

"I'll take my father-in-law out." He immediately stretched out his hand and became more respectful to Xu An.

Xu An looked at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help thinking: It is true that birds of a feather flock together. Everyone around Miss Yun Qin is not an ordinary person.
