Chapter 367 Spy
When Fu Hai returned, Yun Zhao was still sleeping.
Fu Hai was very surprised.
Yun Zhao usually gets up early. Even though he is now sick, he still gets up early every day to check memorials and never slacks off for a single day.
The sun is already high in the sky, why is Yun Zhao still sleeping?
Fu Hai tiptoed to find Qicai.
Qicai whispered, "I went in to check, and he seemed to be asleep. Nothing serious."
Fu Hai was worried.
After a while, he went in and asked quietly. Yun Zhao turned over and said, "I went to bed late last night. Let's take it easy."
Fu Hai replied yes, closed the door and went out.
Qicai looked at Fuhai.
Fu Hai said, "I've been busy these past few days, so I'll make some lotus seed soup for the Empress Dowager."
Qicai sighed, "This is too much. Don't let a healthy person get sick. When I went in earlier, I saw that the Queen Mother didn't look well." Qicai pointed to her lips, "Very pale."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai glanced at Yun Zhao's room with concern. "General Xie has been busy these days, so we need to take better care of him."
Qicai nodded and went to make lotus seed soup.
Yun Zhao slept for a long time that day. When he got up, he gave himself acupuncture to regulate his breathing before slowly getting out of bed.
Fu Hai walked in and uttered a cry, "Empress Dowager, your sleep is so disturbing."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I just slept a little longer."
Fu Hai immediately said, "It's quite a bit. The sun has already set. Vice Adjutant Gao has come a few times, but seeing you were asleep, he left again. He said the funeral arrangements for the family members of several imperial physicians have been taken care of, so don't worry, he's going to the Spring Examination Hall to help General Xie."
Yun Zhao nodded and said he was hungry.
Fu Hai went out to call Qicai to make arrangements. Yun Zhao stood up, but just as she stood up, she felt dizzy and she held onto a pillar beside her.
When Fu Hai entered the room, Yun Zhao was already standing, but his expression looked a little ugly.
Fu Hai was distressed. "Hurry up and sit down. Don't stay up late. Your complexion will be bad if you stay up late. Eat some nourishing soup to replenish your body."
Yun Zhao picked up the soup.
After the servants in the room had left, Fu Hai whispered, "Empress Dowager, is it because the little emperor used too much... that you look so bad? Otherwise, why don't you let me do it next time?"
Yun Zhao put down the bowl in his hand and said, "It's okay, I just slept for a long time. I've been busy lately. Don't tell Xie Jingmo and Deputy General Gao."
Fu Hai looked at Yun Zhao worriedly again, then nodded.
"Oh, while you were sleeping, Prince Liang came and said that we didn't have enough people in the courtyard to serve you, so he brought a few personal servants with him. Three of them were palace maids, one named Peach Blossom, one named Chrysanthemum, and one named Plum Blossom. They all looked smart, so Qicai placed them outside the courtyard first. The other three were guards, one named Little Stool, one named Little Chair, and one named Little Table. I also placed them outside first."
The words just fell.
Qicai came in with the dishes and said to Yun Zhao, "Look at these three palace maids. They are troublesome. They wander around the courtyard everywhere. When I find them, they pretend to be pitiful, saying that the courtyard is big and they got lost. If I say a few more words, they will accuse me of bullying and start crying. They say I can't tolerate them. They are all troublemakers."
Fu Hai said, "Those three guards don't look simple either. They have some skills. I checked them out and they do have some basic skills."
Fu Hai had just finished speaking when he saw a figure flash outside. Fu Hai turned around and looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao slowly drank a mouthful of soup and asked, "Can you handle it?"
Fu Hai nodded, "Of course I can, otherwise all these years in the palace would have been in vain, right?"
Yun Zhao's lips were pale, and he curled them up, "Well, then don't be polite to them. I'll take care of anything that happens."
Qicai and Fuhai nodded, "Yes."
After dinner, Yun Zhao went to the imperial study.
Just as Qicai and Fuhai were about to walk out the door, they ran into the new guard Xiaodengzi.
Qicai gave Fuhai a look, and Fuhai nodded and said to Xiaodengzi: "You guys came here together, wait for me outside the yard, Qicai and I have something to tell you."
I propped myself up on the small stool and found that the door of the imperial study was ajar and I couldn't see anything.
He pursed his lips unhappily, "Eunuch Fuhai, we are all eunuchs. When King Liang sent us here, he didn't tell us that we had to obey your orders. How come you are the one giving us orders?"
The little chair jumped down from the top of the wall with a whoosh. "Yes, why should we listen to you? Our King Liang said that the one inside is about to die. He will be the new emperor in the future. We are the favorites of the new emperor, but there is no such thing as us listening to your orders."
Qicai was about to rush forward immediately.
Fu Hai pulled him aside and said, "This is where the Empress Dowager reviews memorials. Who will decide whether you will obey our orders or not? Today is the perfect day to discuss everything. You guys go out and wait, we'll come."
With that, Fu Hai pulled Qicai away.
The small stool looked at the small chair, and the small chair looked at the small table that came in from outside.
The little chair asked, "What should I do?"
The little table scoffed, "What are you afraid of? In this entire Empress Dowager's Palace, only Fu Hai and Qi Cai are arrogant. How can we lose against the two of them, six of us?"
"Let's just argue outside, what are you afraid of?"
"Before Prince Liang sent us here, he specifically told us that if we could seize control of the Cining Palace and gather information, we would be blessed with endless wealth and glory in the future!"
Several people nodded immediately, "Then let Fu Hai and Qi Cai see how powerful we are!"
Taohua laughed contemptuously, "Exactly, what else can we be afraid of? The Queen Mother inside is almost dead! Haven't you heard? The little emperor vomited blood again today, and it's obvious that he's dying."
Juhua echoed, "Exactly. The positions of Grand Chamberlain and Head Maid, once the Empress Dowager steps down, will all be ours. It's better for them to be polite to us!"
Several people looked at each other and smiled triumphantly.
Yun Zhao had good hearing and heard everything clearly.
Her eyes were dark.
King Liang's hand has reached here.
I am afraid--
Things won’t be peaceful over Xie Jingmo’s place either.
The outer courtyard of the Cining Palace.
Fu Hai and Qi Cai were surrounded by six people. The six people called by King Liang were arrogant. They stood with their chests crossed and looked at them coldly.
"Tell me! How do we talk?!" asked the little table arrogantly.
Fu Hai stood among them, smiling gently. He looked at the three guards opposite him and said, "Talk to me, Sanhua, talk to Qicai. With so many people standing together, people would think they are fighting."
As he said that, Fu Hai opened one of the holes, gave Qicai a look, and walked out.
Qicai said to the three flowers indifferently, "What are you standing there for? Let's go."
