Concubine Eunuch 11
When the emperor returned to the Forbidden City, he did not even enter the Ganqing Palace, and he was spared a complicated etiquette. No one saw him and went straight to Yonghe Palace.
"Please to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty."
Aunt Guihua led the Yonghe Palace to kneel down to meet the emperor. Ji Wan was about to salute, but the emperor steadily supported her and refused to let her bow down.
"Your Majesty is healthy!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The two of them said it almost at the same time. Ji Wan looked at the emperor carefully, and after a long time, she showed a peaceful smile, and a thin mist gradually appeared in her eyes: "Your Majesty is back, I will be relieved. In just a few days, I have a backbone when Your Majesty comes back."
In the past three days, the emperor listened little by little to report back and forth about Concubine Zhao's various instructions in the palace. The order continued in an orderly manner, and it was a perfect solution to the matter with the force of sweeping thousands of troops. The emperor had to admit that even if he did it, he could not do it so well. The Empress Dowager, who had always supported the queen and vaguely suppressed Concubine Zhao, couldn't help but praise her - if she was a man, there would be no one in the court or the country.
But Concubine Zhao is indeed a woman. She can stand up straight because of her lingering love for him. She is also a woman who always has to rely on men.
Seeing the emperor's gentle expression, Ji Wan felt at ease. She was also worried that after the situation had completely stabilized, the emperor was provoked and began to fear her again. Although his thoughts would not really shake her status, it would be difficult to strangle this possible trouble in the cradle.
After the two of them talked for a while, the emperor suddenly asked, "Where is the Heavenly Master now? I want to visit him."
Ji Wan: "What are you talking about? What kind of heavenly master is? If your Majesty wants to meet him, you can announce him."
The woman's coquettishness was revealed again, and the emperor remembered that Concubine Zhao was not yet twenty years old, but she was actually a little girl. It was rare to be able to have urgent wisdom at the critical moment, so how could she see everything clearly--- Besides, she was not a disrespectful master, but just thought that he was the greatest and noble man in the world.
This Heavenly Master, not only the emperor wants to meet, but the empress dowager wants to meet, but no one does not want to meet the concubines and ministers in the court!
But not everyone wants to see the Heavenly Master.
The Heavenly Master sat at the entrance of the Ganqing Palace and meditated. He only wanted to meet the emperor and the empress dowager. In front of the empty hall, the palace people retreated far away.
The Emperor touched the long white beard and looked at the Empress Dowager. The emperor's face said for a long time: "The Empress Zhao Guifei is blessed with a long blessing, so Your Majesty has not been eroded by evil spirits. On the other hand, the Empress Dowager... Let's take a sip of talisman water."
I saw the Heavenly Master holding a cup of water with ashes from the side and handed it to the Empress Dowager. Although the Empress Dowager of Heavenly Master had not seen it with his own eyes these days, she naturally did not dare not drink it after hearing the subordinates' reports. She closed her eyes and drank it clean. As soon as the water was eaten, she felt a surge in her belly, her mouth slightly opened, and she spit out two black insects.
Before the empress dowager and the emperor could see clearly, the Tianshi scattered a handful of grass and wood ashes, and the two little black insects were burned to death.
The Queen Mother was shocked: "What... is this?"
"It's just a kind of Gu insect," Tianshi did not explain too much, but was very strange: "Realistically speaking, you are the biological mother-in-law of Concubine Zhao. He was influenced by Concubine Zhao's fortune, and even His Majesty was not caught in the focus of care. Why did you get some Gu poison that is not seriously hindered?"
The empress dowager felt a sudden slap in her heart, and she felt dizzy. Could it be that she often plotted against Concubine Zhao? Concubine Zhao herself did not know, but she could still hide it from God.
The empress dowager had a layer of sweat on her forehead: "Maybe it was because the Ai family was not very close to Concubine Zhao in the past... Tianshi, is that good for the Ai family?"
Tianshi: "The Empress Dowager is precious in her phoenix body. She can't clear the insects at one time. She scored three days to drink talisman water. I have told Concubine Zhao about this method of burning the talisman paper. You two remember that this talisman paper is extraordinary for ordinary people, but only two people can touch Concubine Zhao."
The two nodded and said yes.
The emperor and the empress dowager had already felt the meaning of the Heavenly Master's farewell, but he did not say it clearly. They were afraid that they would not dare to keep them. They just asked about the inside story of the poison disaster one by one, so that the Heavenly Master could solve the doubts.
The three of them talked about it all afternoon and didn't stop until it was dark.
The next day, the Tianshi went to the suburbs of Beijing to perform rituals, and asked the accompanying imperial guards to retreat. When the imperial guards felt that something was wrong, they found that the Tianshi was hard to find, leaving only a letter.
This heavenly master was originally strange because he did not seek fame and fortune or fame in the world. However, it appeared for three or five days and helped the palace to solve witchcraft cholera for free. He would not appear for life, so every word left by this person in just three or five days must be a hint from God, and he must be careful.
As for the saying that Concubine Zhao is blessed with a blessing, no one dares to say that he is convinced.
He Wangshu: "It's a slave who has no blessings, and he hasn't even seen the Heavenly Master."
Ji Wan: "..."
Haha! It's right not to see it. I'm afraid that you will see something by your side! Although the "Tianshi"'s acting skills can be said to be first-class, otherwise I wouldn't have deceived so many people in the palace. Through the careful observation of so many spies in the open and secret, I was forced to be called "God of the Immortal".
Ke He Wangshu is committed to understanding the meaning of every look and movement of the master. He has put a lot of effort into Ji Wan, and it is inevitable that he will find something in her occasionally unintentional movements or expressions.
Besides, why do you need a question to find a master?
It’s better to ask her!!!

The trees in the Forbidden City began to change their leaves. Every morning, people in the palace would use large brooms to clean up the corridor full of fallen leaves. The empress dowager and the emperor issued two decrees that the disaster of witchcraft was a taboo and the palace people were not allowed to discuss it privately. Although there were unpredictable things between gods and ghosts when the witchcraft disaster occurred that day, Concubine Zhao handled it so well. The people's hearts were not in chaos, and the impact of this matter was gradually eliminated.
At this time, it was only a month since Li Tianshi returned.
Today, Concubine Zhao was in the mood to cook, and Aunt Guihua was helping. As soon as the soup was put into the pot, the great palace maid Lily led Bai Chang's second-class palace maid to wait outside the door.
This was the first time Ji Wan met the heroine in this world. Through the misty water vapor, she saw a woman kneeling respectfully at the door of the kitchen. To be honest, Di Qiu lowered her head and wore a standard dress like this, which was no different from the countless little palace maids in the palace.
"Raise your head!"
Aunt Guihua cleaned her hands and helped her to the small garden. A palace maid next to her came up to apply scented ointment to her. Di Qiu, who was so arrogant all over her body that she trembled slightly for a moment, and a few traces of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.
This little girl was selected into the palace this year and is still very young. She probably had no suffering at home before, and was spoiled to have a sense of innocence that was ignorant of the world. But in the palace, one day these innocences will be ground into a coldness like stagnant water, so Xiao Kazuko protected her like that in the original work, and wanted to protect the pure land in her heart.
Why? Even the emperor cannot protect a woman's innocence and kindness in the harem. Why is he a eunuch?
"I would like to pay tribute to Concubine Zhao."
Di Qiu looked around quietly, obviously looking for someone... Every palace servant around Ji Wan saw her looking.
Ji Wan's tone was cold: "Are you looking for and Wangshu?"
Di Qiu shook for a moment, obviously frightened by the noble Concubine Zhao, and said aloud: "Brother Hezi...he..."
"The palace maid Bai Chang is by his side has a close contact with the eunuchs, the leader of my Yonghe Palace," Ji Wan put on a golden finger condom and gently helped her white and tender face escorted by the palace servants: "And you have such a kissing title, you have a close relationship! Little girl, you are really afraid of being killed and Wangshu."
Di Qiu was so scared that he couldn't speak, but his eyes were still staring at Ji Wan watery, and there was a feeling that could see the bottom of it at a glance.
Ji Wan waved her hand and asked someone to let her go, and she let go of her face, and her attitude became kind: "Hey, I'm joking with you."
Di Qiu: "…"
Concubine Zhao had too strong aura, and she collapsed on the ground and couldn't say a word.
Ji Wan didn't try again. She no longer needed to be together every day to see through people. There were too few people born suitable for the palace, and many of them were cultivated by the original work. In the original work, Di Qiu became more and more mature, and even helped and Wangshu behind her back, but she was still unhappy.
She survived in the palace, but she was not happy.
"Diqiu, I met you in the Japanese Palace today and planned to let you do something. There is a shop outside the palace, and there is a shortage of people to take care of me, so you can go there. If you agree, you will have a house with a separate courtyard to live in, and you can pick up your parents and brothers together. Whether you are going to marry, I will allow you to live a harmonious life. As long as you are willing!"
Di Qiu did not say whether she would like it or not on the spot, but no matter what, she could no longer go to Bai Chang to serve her. There were not many palace maids like her in Yonghe Palace, and Lily took her down to settle her.
He Wangshu then came out from behind the tree.
"Look at me, you like this girl, so I really want to let her go out of the palace. From now on, the sky is so high that birds can fly, but you will have nothing to do."
Ji Wan really wanted to see her expressions at this moment, but she found that she was the usual, calm and self-disciplined.
"Empress, I am a eunuch. When Di Qiu was in the palace, I never thought of her. If she was willing to leave the palace, Di Qiu will be Di Qiu, and Wangshu will be Wangshu... People are destined to be destined, but eunuchs are not considered humans. Without fate, whether they are close or not depends on the obsession in their hearts... Today, I thank the grace of the empress!"

The emperor hugged Concubine Zhao's waist with relish and sighed softly: "Wan'er is really my blessing. Fortunately, Mrs. Qiao is not close to me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Just by hearing the situation at that time, I feel disgusted."
Ji Wan stroked his back: "Your Majesty, it's all over..."
The emperor's aura calmed down again, and he asked with interest: "How did Wan'er know that there was something wrong with Qiao?"
Ji Wan heard that there was no doubt in his words. The emotions inside the test were just curiosity. Wen Yan said: "I don't know that she has a problem! Didn't this person enter the palace by borrowing the appearance of a concubine's daughter from my family? I wanted to see her, but when I came to the front, I felt uncomfortable no matter how I looked at her, so I found an excuse to tease her. At that time, I was afraid that the Majesty would blame her... It was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse."
"So that's it. Wan'er is my lucky star! Perhaps in the dark, Wan'er helped me with countless disasters... The sinner actually wanted to harm you, how could I tolerate her?"
Ji Wan knew who the emperor was referring to, and she took action to make her fall into it. Therefore, she smiled brightly: "I ask Your Majesty for grace, I want to see the former concubine Li."
The emperor was merciless in dealing with the witchcraft disaster, and even the rule of not executing concubines easily was broken. How could Ji Wan be willing to see this disaster? But she couldn't help but agree to it helplessly.
