This period of time has been really hard.

Xiaotingzi was two years younger than Zhou An, but after following Zhou An, the authority became more and more powerful until he reached the point of taking charge of the East Factory on his behalf.

Zhou An was fine in the early stage of Shenyin. After all, Zhou An was still in the capital at that time, and he could go back to the palace to report to Zhou An about any matter, but it would not work afterwards. Zhou An left Beijing and went south to Yuezhou, and he left for more than half a month.

In the past half a month, Xiaotingzi suffered almost unbearable pressure.

Rumor is that Zhou An is dead.

Some important officials in the court began to suppress Dongchang openly and secretly. Not to mention Zhou An, Xiaotingzi suffered more than a dozen times. It was not right for the empress, and she seemed to have no trust in Dongchang as before.

Zhou An is the Grand Master of Tiangang and is regarded as the number one confidant by the Empress.

Xiaotingzi couldn't compare with his realm. His realm was only innate, and he was not the empress's confidant, but Zhou An's confidant, and he was still one level short of it.

Therefore, he was so uncomfortable during his time in charge of the East Factory.

He was even questioned by the empress for impeachment by the censor. If the Jinyiwei and Dongchang were not in a good mood now, and Yuan Shengshi would have protected him, something might have happened.

Xiaotingzi could even feel that the relationship between the Empress and Zhou An seemed to have changed in some way, otherwise he would not have been so difficult.

If a eunuch has such an identity, as long as the emperor supports him, he will not be afraid of the collapse of the sky and the earth!

Zhou An was kind to Xiaotingzi for knowing her and entrusted her with important tasks. Xiaotingzi also wanted to maintain the situation well and could not embarrass the factory, but it was too difficult!

The pavilion beat the ground and cried bitterly.

This period of time, I really want to die.

"Get up and talk." Zhou An put his hand on the shoulder of the small Pavilion, then walked towards the table with his hands behind his back, and said, "Come on, tell us that during the time we left, those people stumped the Dongchang, and those people criticized our family..."

When Zhou An finished speaking, he had already walked behind the table. He untied the big burden on his back and threw it on the table. Then he sat down, and was slightly paralyzed, and his brain was resting on the back of the chair, which was comfortable!

It's so tiring.

He went to Qianjing and did not go back to the palace directly. Instead, he came to the Dongchang Yamen first. First, in order to understand what has happened in the recent period, he wanted to take a break in the Dongchang.

Recover and recover, take out your good condition, and go back to see the empress.

"Maintenance..." The tear-wiping little pavilion stood up, quickly reached the table, took out the small notebook from his arms, turned on the first page, looked at it, and said: "Maintenance, on the third day of your departure, the Right Censor of the Censorate..."

The report, the pavilion is ready long ago.

He just waited for Zhou An to come back and complained!

In the secret letter to Zhou An, Xiaotingzi had already reported some of it.

And this time it's more comprehensive.

Zhou An leaned against the chair, closed his eyes, and listened to Xiaotingzi's words, but he didn't look at Xiaotingzi's notebook. It was impossible for the small notebook to record too detailed, and the details and so on must be remembered and oral.

While making a report, Xiaotingzi knocked down Jushui at Zhou An, and was angry and cried twice during this period.

He is not the kind of person who likes to complain.

He doesn't like to cry either.

It can be seen how difficult he has lived recently.

Fortunately, he knew that Zhou An was fine, but he had just left Beijing to do business secretly. If he didn't know, he would have thought Zhou An hadn't he healed since he was seriously injured, and even suspected that Zhou An was dead, he would have collapsed long ago.

Without Zhou An, the possibility of Dongchang being overthrown by court officials is extremely high!

The necessary condition for overthrowing Dongchang is to convict Dongchang. As long as you convict... Xiaotingzi will lose his head and he will be the first to be affected.

He spoke for an hour.

Not only did he complain, he also told Zhou An about the situation in the court. He also reported to Zhou An about the rebellion in various places, the progress of the court's handling, etc.

"What has the old coach... done recently?" Zhou An finally asked Li Guangshan.

"At the beginning of the month, the Zhongzhou Army began to expand its army. The old general was personally responsible for the training of the new recruits. In addition, in the court, the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel, they handed out a memorial to impeach the East Factory. They wanted to harm the factory. They didn't hear that the old general had said anything about it. And other generals... At present, General Yuan's influence in the army is increasing day by day, mainly because many newly transferred generals were selected from the Shence Army and the Tiance Army... General Yuan was also attacked, but it was left unresolved. Now no one can touch him..."

This is the case in the court. Starting from a point, it will always lead to a complex relationship.

So, Zhou An was clearly asking about Li Guangshan, but Xiaotingzi was talking about not just Li Guangshan.

"Well, okay..." Zhou An opened his eyes all the time to close his eyes, "Our family knows, you go first, don't let someone come here, don't let someone know that our family is back, our family will return to the palace in two hours."

"Yes, the little one is leaving." Xiaotingzi bowed and retreated.

Zhou An was the only one left in the study.

He has nothing else to do.

Stay for two hours and you have to sleep.

*******

The third day.

It's late at night and it's quiet.

The full moon hangs alone, and the hazy moonlight spills a piece of silver on the earth. The heavily guarded palace is shrouded in tranquility. At this time, what should be rested has basically been rested.

Since Yuan Sheng entered Tiangang, Qianjing City has become extremely peaceful.

The deterrent power of this guy in charge of Qianjing has been catching up with Kang Longji and even won, because when Kang Longji was still alive, he would hardly leave the empress due to Wu Xukuan's restraint.

Master Yuan Sheng is different. He comes in and out all day long.

Because he mastered the magical power of sword-controlling flight, the range he could protect was not just the palace. No one came to commit suicide because he couldn't run away at all. No matter how fast he ran, he could not be faster than sword-controlling flight.

Deep in the palace.

Qianwu Palace.

"Who?" A humble sounded suddenly on the eaves, and the cold heavy crossbow arrow directly aimed at the sudden appearance.

"It's our family." Zhou An, who appeared behind the roof, said with a straight eyebrows.

Zhou An still looked like he was wearing a black robe and carrying a big bag.

Two figures flashed out from the darkness of the roof.

"It's the chief executive!"

"See the chief executive!"

It was two Shen Ce army secretly whistle. They knew that Zhou An had resolved the danger of the golden firefly. Although they were not sure when Zhou An left the palace, they could at least infer that Zhou An was either in seclusion or went out to do business.

Therefore, although he was surprised by Zhou An who suddenly appeared, he was not shocked.

"Don't worry about our family." Zhou An said, then turned into black smoke and disappeared.

In fact, he was seen on purpose, otherwise it would not be a problem to bypass them and go directly outside the Empress's bedroom with his understanding of the terrain of the palace and his understanding of the secret whistle layout of the Shen Ce Army.

He showed up on his own initiative, just not wanting to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

The people from Otaku knew that he was fine.

The Empress's bedroom.

There were little eunuchs standing everywhere in the yard, with more than ten old eunuchs hiding in the dark, and there were also a large number of secret whistles of the Shen Ce Army.

There was still a candlelight in the bedroom.

Black smoke suddenly floated on the steps.

Zhou An suddenly appeared, as if teleporting.

The two eunuchs guarding the door were shocked. Zhou An glanced at them and raised his hand to gesture a "shhh" action before they made a sound.
