Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 20
"That's not true." Eunuch Xi was silent for a moment before hesitating. "It's not a secret. It's okay to tell you. His Highness suffered from a serious illness when he was five years old. The imperial physicians in the palace were helpless. When the emperor was young, he had some relationship with a genius doctor in the rivers and lakes. His Highness was sent out of the palace for medical treatment, and it took him five years to come back."

"Even the imperial doctor can't cure it, what's so serious about it?"

Facing Xilan's question, Eunuch Xi shook his head blankly, "I just accidentally heard that His Highness was seriously ill that year and his life was dying. As for what kind of illness, a slave like me can't know about it."

Eunuch Xi has been serving at Bai Luxuan for almost two years, and he is familiar with the habits of the third prince. He even sent her out of Bai Luxuan's gate, but he didn't finish talking.

When Xilan returned to the Huanyi Bureau, half of the sky was already stained red by the blood-colored sunset.Approaching the door, one could vaguely hear painful and broken screams mixed with the sound of sticks, which made people feel frightened.

"What's going on?" Walking to the door, there was no time to think about it, and through the open door, I saw a frightening scene - the court ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling in the front yard turned their backs to the door, forming a half circle, standing opposite each other. There were a few court ladies and eunuchs with a high status in the Clothes Bureau and a group of strange faces.

In the middle of the circle, two maids were tied hands and feet to a bench with hemp ropes, with rags stuffed into their mouths, and two tall eunuchs with hideous faces stood beside them, holding sticks the size of the women's wrists and throwing them at them. Go, show no mercy.The light blue sarongs on their bodies gradually became dotted with red, bright and dazzling.

After Xilan found the location of Caiwei and Ajia in the crowd, she quickly sneaked in through the side door, and knelt with them behind the crowd of palace servants, silent.

A sharp-eyed eunuch next to Eunuch Xu saw Xilan sneaking in, and asked him in a low voice, "The one who just came in, should we be punished together?"

"Don't worry about it." Eunuch Xu didn't look sideways. He had already achieved his goal today, and the person behind him let her go.

Seeing that Eunuch Xu didn't intend to talk to her, Xilan breathed a sigh of relief. Judging by this posture, if she is accidentally angered, it will not be easy.

During the agonizing wait, the sound of sticks finally stopped, and the two court ladies who were being tortured lay powerlessly on the bench, with tiny whimpers coming from their mouths, dying.

Eunuch Xu shook the fly whisk in his hand, and walked slowly beside them, "Scratch Concubine Ruo's favorite dress, this punishment is nothing. It is a gift from the emperor, and the empress is kind, and it is only a two-pronged punishment." Ten, to warn others, I will not pursue it any longer." Looking around for a week, the words revealed majesty, "I hope everyone will take this as a warning and do things carefully."

"Thank you Miss Yan'er today, if the imperial concubine is still waiting for me to go back to my life, our family will not stay any longer." Eunuch Xu and Yan'er did not talk like they did just now, but were more or less polite.Different people are very different at any time.

"Slave and maidservant should do it, father-in-law go slowly, Yan'er will see you off." Yan'er's attitude is humble, but not pretentious, even if she is the eunuch in charge next to Concubine Ruo, she doesn't mean to flatter her.

It wasn't until Eunuch Xu and his party disappeared from sight that someone untied the hemp ropes for the two maids and helped them into the house to rest.The whole process was silent, and no one dared to talk too much.People who talk too much, make mistakes, and talk too much will inevitably cause disasters.
