Chapter 40 The Beggar of the Moon

In Panlong Palace.

Yan Wenmao was sitting on a chair, the memorial beside him had been processed, and there was a stack of portraits on the case table.

The memorial has been checked twice, and when he picked it up subconsciously for the fourth time, he finally realized that he was escaping.

He didn't want to interview Luo Chu in the primary election.

Yan Wenmao silently looked at the portrait on the top, he was a handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, even a rigid painter could still see the lively feeling of youth.

The liveliness stung his eyes.

At her age, most people like this kind of boy, not him who is just around the corner.

"Lord Qiantui, Your Majesty is weak, but refuses to take medicine, you see..." Fu An asked Yan Wenmao for his opinion with the news from Qifeng Palace.

"I'll go now."

Yan Wenmao got up suddenly, and walked away from the case as if fleeing. Before he had time to change his clothes, he went out.

Fu An looked at Yan Wenmao's back, turned his head to look at the unmoved portrait, sighed and shook his head.

……

The maids surrounded Luo Chuchu's bed, begging her to drink the medicine, but Luo Chuchu covered her head with a quilt and refused to show her face at all. Whatever they had to say, I turned a deaf ear to it.

When Yan Wenmao came in, he saw such a chaotic scene, his brows were slightly frowned, and the surrounding maids scattered and knelt on the ground.

I don't see Shiyue inside, could it be dereliction of duty?
He asked lightly, "Where is Shi Yue?"

"The servant is here."

Shiyue walked forward from an unobtrusive corner, not wearing a single ornament on her temple hair, her forehead was blue and purple, her complexion was bleak, and her eyes were full of worry.

The palace rules stipulated that there should be no more than five types of heads for palace maids. Little girls love beauty, and usually dress up according to the highest number of pieces allowed. Even maids who clean the house have to put a hairpin on their heads and wear earrings.

Shiyue looked simple like this, but in fact she was outstanding and different. The clothes were also plain, and the material was not particularly good. It was impossible to tell that she was the big court lady next to the empress.

Luo Chuchu didn't actually do anything to her, but he didn't want to see her either. It was just right that Shiyue didn't appear in front of her eyes.

Others dare not care about Shiyue. In terms of background, she is under Chitose's subordinates. In terms of status, she is the highest-ranking maid in Qifeng Palace.

Yan Wenmao looked down at Shiyue who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "But I treated you badly? You are dressed like this."

Hearing Yan Wenmao asking about her situation, Shiyue was overjoyed, and said sorry to Luo Chuchu in her heart, who made Luo Chuchu refuse to accommodate others, she really couldn't stay in Qifeng Palace, so she had to think about this His Majesty will certainly understand.

With faint tears in his eyes, Shiyue choked up and said: "If you go back to Chitose, Your Majesty, she didn't..."

Yan Wenmao interrupted Shiyue, and said: "What I'm asking is, did I treat you badly? Negligence of duty, disrespectful dressing, and returning all the things I learned? Is it okay to forget to deal with a small injury, let others see it, and think how harsh it is? servant."

Shiyue was startled.

She used a little trick to deliberately not deal with the bruise on her forehead, so as to look pitiful.But unexpectedly, Yan Wenmao didn't even want to listen to her talk.

When he reported the Empress's situation earlier, he said something derogatory to her without any trace, but Yan Wenmao would not say anything.How long has it been since you can't even hear the fault of the Empress?

Shiyue couldn't make an excuse, so he had to kowtow again and again to admit his mistake.

"Okay, since you can't do well in Qifeng Palace, it's useless to keep it." Yan Wenmao casually announced Shiyue's ending.

Shiyue was devastated, and knelt on the ground, as if all the bones in her body were pulled away in an instant, softening into a puddle of mud.

When the two eunuchs brought by Yan Wenmao dragged her out, Shiyue saw the raised quilt on the bed and thought of Luo Chuchu.

Yes!The empress is so soft-hearted, as long as she begs her, there must be a glimmer of life!
Without knowing where the strength came from, Shiyue suddenly pushed away the two eunuchs, and rushed to Luo Chuchu's bed, crying and begging:

"Your Majesty, please help me!"

Luo Chuchu rolled his eyes under the quilt, who are you, I owe you?

"Your Majesty, Shiyue knows his mistake, but His Majesty has orders from now on, and slaves and servants will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Luo Chuchu's heart moved. If Shiyue really decided to follow her, the deal would not be impossible. Anyway, a loyal person was needed, but under Yan Wenmao's nose, it would be difficult to make things happen.

If Shi Yue sincerely voted, wouldn't there be a ready-made one?She has followed Yan Wenmao for a long time, so she must know him very well, and she will be unpredictable in her actions in the future.

But she can't speak now, if Shiyue asks her, she will speak up, it looks very cheap, this kind of dog will never betray if it is not about to be killed by its master for meat.

If it is too easy to keep her, Shiyue will inevitably feel that he is easy to handle, and he may switch to Yan Wenmao again in the future, it will be too disgusting!
Seeing that Luo Chuchu didn't speak, Shiyue's heart turned cold, but giving up at this time would only lead to death, so he continued to beg:

"This servant is really willing to do anything for His Majesty, and I don't dare to do anything to deceive the emperor anymore, even the most humble job is fine. I beg Your Majesty to save this servant!"

Luo Chuchu calculated that the time was about the same, lifted the quilt, revealing a small white face, with brows upside down and said:
"How did you talk, why did I let you do the most humble job? You said it yourself, have I ever treated you badly?"

"No, never." Shi Yue said hastily.

As long as Luo Chuchu is willing to talk to her, there will be a chance. The most fearful thing is that if she refuses to talk to her, the only outcome is being dragged away by two eunuchs.

"Since it's useless to His Majesty, let's go down honestly and be with Shi Xue." Yan Wenmao said impatiently.

Shi Xue died?

Shiyue shuddered, completely extinguishing her desire to continue clinging to Yan Wenmao, and snuffing out the last trace of luck.

She thought that Shi Xue would at most be severely punished and seriously injured after returning home, but she didn't expect Yan Wenmao to be so ruthless, and the people who spent a huge amount of money to train would kill as soon as they said they wanted to.

It turns out that in Yan Wenmao's eyes, he is the same as the most humble court ladies, and they can be killed at will.

It was about her own life, Shiyue finally stopped being confused, and knew that her only way out was to beg Luo Chuchu to let her stay in Qifeng Palace.

Even if this would lead to confrontation with Yan Wenmao, but now, there is no other choice.

"I beg your majesty! I beg your majesty! I don't want to die!" Shi Yue kowtowed to Luo Chuchu, his forehead soon bled, which was completely different from the way and intensity of kowtowing before.

It's time for her to act.

Luo Chuchu frowned and asked, "Yan Wenmao, just for this matter, are you going to kill her?"

Seeing that Luo Chuchu was finally willing to talk to him, Yan Wenmao unconsciously softened his tone, and said: "The people who are sent to your Majesty's side are His Majesty's people. If you can't serve Your Majesty well, what's the use of keeping her?"
