After the emperor finished examining the dragon bones, he prepared to go back.
Eunuch Li suddenly said, "Little Ji's house is over there, the keel has been set up, I wonder if she needs to move?"
The emperor paused and looked back at the small house not far behind him.
The house where the eunuchs and palace maids lived was very small and located at the edge of the house. The emperor would not have even looked at it before, but today he stared at it for a while and asked, "What's wrong with her? Why hasn't she recovered yet?"
Eunuch Li knew that the emperor had forgotten about the murder, and since he had already mentioned it before, he just blurted it out.
The emperor looked at Eunuch Li in surprise, looking very innocent: "You are talking nonsense. How can I kill people casually?"
When he moves, he lets others move.
Eunuch Li didn't know how to answer.
Because he was the one who killed the person, the scene was terrible, and Eunuch Li vomited when he came back...
The emperor asked again: "So she was frightened by this?"
Eunuch Li nodded: "That's what Doctor Jiang said."
The emperor frowned: "You are too timid."
Eunuch Li didn't think An Jiu was timid. After all, she was only in her teens and still a little girl. Facing the emperor was stressful enough. Watching the emperor kill people with her own eyes was indeed scary enough.
Eunuch Li said: "Little girl, you should be more timid."
The emperor snorted coldly.
But he didn't go to see An Jiu. He was the emperor, and it was a gift from heaven that he could ask a few questions. Did he really expect him to enter that little shabby house?
…
"Have you heard?"
An Jiu was about to get moldy after staying in the room. She came out for a walk and heard a few palace maids talking.
"Autumn hunting. Your Majesty takes people there every year. I heard it's a lot of fun. I wonder if we can go this time."
"Let's forget it. Your Majesty brought along the people who served him."
"Oh... I really want to go. This is a rare opportunity to leave the palace. The concubines in the harem are also preparing and want to go with me."
After listening to it, An Jiu also became curious about the autumn hunt.
The emperor's illness and inability to eat meat is actually a superficial symptom. An Jiu thinks that he must have been stimulated by something in his childhood, or seen extremely bloody scenes. He will get sick whenever he sees raw meat.
Then the autumn hunt is all about hunting animals, and the scene must be even bloodier. Wouldn't the emperor go crazy?
Just as I was thinking this, Aunt Qu came. Seeing that An Jiu was in good spirits, she asked about her health.
An Jiu said: "I am well now. I can go to Guanghua Palace to serve you tomorrow."
Aunt Qu sighed: "Little girl..."
She seemed to want An Jiu to be more open-minded. An Jiu knew that Aunt Qu was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Everyone in the palace was selfish, and Aunt Qu was kind to her. Don't force too much.
An Jiu said: "I can see things in a positive light and know the importance of things. Aunt, don't worry."
Aunt Qu was relieved, for she was afraid that she would be upset.
"Your Majesty, he...he is just sick..." Aunt Qu glanced at An Jiu, and seeing that she was fine, she said, "You should also go with us on this autumn hunt."
An Jiu was still thinking about the autumn hunt, but she didn't expect it to be her turn. She was very happy because she could leave the palace.
There is nothing more joyful than being able to leave the palace.
Maybe she could think of a way to escape.
Even if you can't, it's nice to go out and relax.
An autumn hunt seemed to liven up the originally lifeless harem, and everyone wanted to go along, so the stubborn concubines began to send people to Guanghua Palace to inquire about the news.
Aunt Qu dealt with it calmly.
An Jiu asked: "Aunt, will your Majesty bring concubines this time?"
Aunt Qu nodded: "Yes."
An Jiu didn't understand. Since the emperor didn't like these concubines and their existence might make him go crazy, why did he still bring them with him?
Aunt Qu said: "The previous dynasty and the harem were all connected. Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a few years, and his foundation is not stable. He has no queen and no children..."
Aunt Qu is like a mother who is worried about her son.
"He is still unwilling to go to the harem, which makes the court officials even more dissatisfied. This time he took a few concubines with him just to show them to outsiders and court officials."
So that's how it is.
An Jiu nodded.
I also feel sorry for the concubines in the harem. It's like they are married to a useless husband and they can't tell anyone about their suffering.
"What do I need to prepare?"
Someone would prepare things for the tyrant. An Jiu was concerned about herself, and she didn't want to get sick again.
Aunt Qu told her to prepare thick clothes because it was cold in the wild, and also to prepare shoes because the shoes made in the palace would not be wearable on the roads in the wild.
"Then wouldn't it be necessary to wear those short boots?" An Jiu asked.
Aunt Qu nodded: "Everyone makes it themselves. It's too late now. You can ask others if they have any ready to sell."
An Jiu has few acquaintances in this palace.
But she can buy it. If there is none in the palace, is there none outside the palace?
So An Jiu went to find Li Ji, and Li Ji laughed as soon as he saw her. An Jiu found that Li Ji actually looked very good when he laughed, and he had a sense of being a reassuring husband.
"I heard that you were sick. How are you now?" Li Ji asked.
"It's just a cold, I'm better now." An Jiu also smiled at him. Li Ji stared at her face for a while, his ears turned a little red, but An Jiu didn't notice.
An Jiu said: "By the way, Brother Li, you said before that you can buy things from outside the palace, right?"
Li Ji asked: "What do you want to buy? I'm going home today, so I can bring it to you tomorrow."
An Jiu didn't buy much. She made a list. Li Ji was surprised: "Can you write?"
An Jiu nodded: "A little bit."
Li Ji smiled: "But there are a few mistakes."
The suffixes of characters in this era are completely different. An Jiu learned by comparing them, but he didn't expect to write it wrong.
She was a little embarrassed: "I'm learning to write recently."
Li Ji said: "Learning to write is a good thing."
The two were chatting, not noticing that a pair of resentful eyes in the corner had been staring at them.
This person was Xiaohua. She was sent by Aunt Qu to the outer courtyard to do rough labor. She was busy all day long. The wages in the outer courtyard were not high, and the old women and maids always bullied her.
She lived a life worse than death. In the dead of night, she often wondered why she was suddenly sent here when she was doing well in Guanghua Palace?
After thinking about it, she just ignored this person.
This bitch always dislikes her. It must be because of something her aunt Qu said.
Xiao Hua hated An Jiu to death, but she couldn't do anything to An Jiu. She couldn't even see her. Today was just a coincidence. She was sent out by the head maid to get something, and she happened to see Xiao Ji's guard talking stealthily here.
She thought about the time when Xiao Ji was in the same room. One time she woke up in the middle of the night and found that Xiao Ji was missing. She didn't pay attention at the time. It was only after a long time that Xiao Ji came back stealthily.
At that time, Xiaohua suspected that she had an affair with one of the guards.
녦 has never had the chance to find out, but now it seems that it is the guard 놌 named Li.
Xiaohua’s eyes became colder and colder.
Anyone who dares to trip her up or harm her secretly, just wait for her.
