Chapter 271 The Fake Eunuch Being Torn Apart by a Chariot 02
"Shuochong, who is this?"
"No one. I just wanted to say that I am a little scared to be so close to Your Majesty."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he took a step back and lowered his head again.
Dizzy!
How could she call out the name of the NPC from the previous world? !
As if he, like her, could come into this world.
Really, she said she didn't want to go to the Lord God, because every time she checked her soul, she would feel dazed.
Su Yi cursed inwardly and calmed himself down.
Lan Jingrun stood up straight, looking down at the woman dressed as a eunuch in front of him. His eyes were calm, but there seemed to be an undercurrent underneath.
He said calmly: "I have said that you don't have to call yourself a slave."
Su Yi followed suit: "Yes."
"It just so happens that my chief eunuch has passed away, and you will take over from now on." Lan Jingrun said, "You will stay by my side, and if any remnants of the rebellion contact you, inform me in time."
"Little understands."
Lan Jingrun: ...
"Don't tell me, little one."
Su Yi:? ?
He probed, "Then... slave? Humble?"
Seeing that the tyrant's face was getting worse and worse, Su Yi was a little anxious and asked casually: "Me?"
Lan Jingrun was finally satisfied and nodded.
Su was completely shocked.
She didn't think that the tyrant had taken a liking to her at first sight and that was why he allowed her to make such an outrageous self-proclaimed title...
Suddenly, Su Yi had an idea.
I heard that tyrants are greedy for beauty.
She touched her face secretly.
B is good-looking, and after disguising himself as a young eunuch, he is even more handsome, able to distinguish between men and women. He is indeed a beauty.
So, she was favored by the tyrant, and that’s why she was treated specially?!
Alas!
Such a variety of food!
Su was filled with disgust and wanted to leave quickly.
"It's too late. I won't disturb the emperor's rest."
The tyrant returned to the dragon bed and said lazily, "Yeah."
Su Yi bowed and retreated.
However, the door did not open when pushed.
Su gritted his teeth and increased his strength... He pushed it countless times before finally confirming that the door was locked.
Divine gold!
What's wrong with locking the door when sleeping?
Doesn't the tyrant need to get up to go to the bathroom at night? !
She laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, this door is locked."
"To prevent those unruly people from plotting to harm me, I usually lock the door when I go to bed at night, and only leave one person to serve me at night." Lan Jingrun said as a matter of course, "Laibao used to be on duty at night, but now that Laibao is dead, it's your turn."
Su Yi smiled: "So what should I do tonight?"
"Sleep with me, fan me to keep away mosquitoes. If I am thirsty, pour me water; when I get up at night, bring me the toilet."
Su Yi: ━━∑(￣_￣*|||━━
Bring the toilet bucket...
Looking at the petrified person, Lan Jingrun curled his lips and said, "I trust you, so I let you take the night shift. You should be happy."
He said proudly: "Why don't you thank me?"
Su was flattered: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
I thank your whole family!

early morning.
Su Yi stood behind the dragon throne, lowering his eyes to think about countermeasures.
How can I regain the trust of Qiyunzi?
Previously, she followed the tyrant to court, and the look in Lan Jingyue's eyes when she looked at her changed from shock to fear to murderous intent, and finally to calmness, all in just a moment.
But Sue has clearly captured it.
There is no doubt that Qiyunzi thought she had betrayed him and was ready to kill her.
Originally, she was thinking about leaving the palace as soon as possible and finding Lan Jingyue.
But now, going there means committing suicide.
It must be said that the tyrant was a man of deep strategy, and quietly used a combination of alienation tactics and cutting off the source of the trouble, making Lan Jingyue no longer trust her, and at the same time eliminating the possibility of her returning to Lan Jingyue.
And she couldn't show any difference.
e=(′o｀*))) Alas.
It’s true that being a traitor is not easy.
"Old Four, how is the investigation of yesterday's assassin going?"
Lan Jingfeng stepped forward and said, "I checked all night last night and compared the musicians and dancers who entered the palace yesterday. I found a total of 18 people. There were bodies of assassins, two were captured alive, and two injured the guards and ran away."
Su Yi raised an eyebrow.
And they caught them alive?!
The tyrant was displeased: "You actually let the assassin escape. What are you doing for a living? You are useless!"
Lan Jingfeng clenched his fists and lowered his head.
The tyrant asked again: "What did you find out from the two captured alive?"
"Uh... they refused to tell me and bit their tongues to commit suicide in prison."
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I thought, why didn't B bite his tongue to commit suicide after being tortured for three days? !
The tyrant said coldly: "So there are no clues at all?! Trash."
The ministers in the court were silent.
Lan Jingfeng lowered his head, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
Lan Jingyue spoke.
"It's not that there is no gain. Didn't the Fourth Prince already capture the dancers who were on the same stage with the assassin yesterday? If we interrogate them, I'm sure we can get some clues."
The tyrant stared at Lan Jingfeng: "Really?"
Lan Jingfeng looked up and said quickly, "Yes, yes. Because of the rush of time, I haven't had time to interrogate him yet. I will go to interrogate him after the court session."
The tyrant hummed.
Suddenly he said, "I got accurate information yesterday that these killers have an organization and a leader, and they are not the two who escaped last night."
Lan Jingyue's expression changed slightly.
He glanced at Su Yi out of the corner of his eye.
Su Yi: !!!!!!!!!
The tyrant seemed not to notice Lan Jingyue's abnormality, and continued: "Fourth Brother, I give you one month to find those two leaders. If you succeed, I will credit you with a merit! If you can't find them... I remember that your fiefdom is in Ling'an..."
He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
If you can't find it, you will be kicked out of the center of power and demoted to a fiefdom.
Lan Jingfeng was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only clasp his fists and promise, "I will investigate it in time and find out who ordered the assassination."
Lan Jingyue was also full of anger.
Lan Jingfeng had always followed him and was the person he trusted the most. If he was demoted to his fiefdom, it would be like cutting off his arm.
But he didn't dare to speak up.
Lan Jingrun has a strange temper. People who help him to plead for mercy often suffer a worse fate than the people who got into trouble.
Lan Jingyue was secretly anxious.
The murderous intent towards the person who betrayed him surged in his heart again, and he couldn't help but glance secretly at the right rear of the dragon throne.
Then he froze and quickly looked away.
After a while, he swept past as if nothing had happened.
After several attempts, he finally confirmed that the killer who betrayed him was really winking at him to send him a secret signal.
No.
Yes.
What do you mean?
Didn't she betray him?
But if there was no betrayal, how could Lan Jingrun keep her by his side so confidently and say those words?
Lan Jingyue lowered his eyes in thought.
Su was relieved.
I hope Qiyunzi won't kill her with one blow, and give her some trust. At least he can contact her first, there is still room for maneuver...hiss!
Su was frozen.
Who could tell her when the tyrant turned around and how long he had been staring at her? !
*
After the next court.
The tyrant walked back with big strides, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs trotted to follow him, including Su Yi.
Halfway through his journey, the tyrant suddenly stopped.
The eunuchs and palace maids slammed on the brakes and several of them collided with each other.
But Sue no longer has that.
She kept a safe distance from the tyrant, keeping her eyes and ears open, and when she realized the tyrant's intention, she stopped very steadily.
Things like bumping into the emperor's back and making the emperor think, "Beauty, you have caught my attention" would never happen to her.
Su Yi stood there with his head lowered and his face submissive, acting as a qualified and competent eunuch.
The tyrant did not make public the fact that she was an assassin, so in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a little eunuch who naturally had to perform her duties conscientiously.
"What were you doing in the court just now, winking and making faces?" the tyrant asked, his voice full of oppression. "You weren't communicating something to someone, were you?"
What the hell!
Such keen insight!
Su lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
Lan Jingrun walked up to her and said, "I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?!"
Su Yi looked up with a confused expression.
"What were you talking about to me just now? What winking gesture? When did it happen?"
He looked like he had no idea what you were talking about and you must have seen it wrong.
Lan Jingrun pursed his lips and said something with a hint of anger: "How many times do I have to repeat it before you can remember it? Don't say slave!"
Su Yi paused.
"Yes, I remember."
Lan Jingrun took a deep breath and didn't want to say anything about winking. He flicked his sleeves and turned around, walking faster than before.
Su Yi raised an eyebrow and followed.
Royal study room.
The tyrant sat behind his desk reviewing memorials.
Su was already standing beside him, fanning herself.
From last night till now, she has been working non-stop for such a long time, and she hasn't even had a sip of water. She is still giving her the work of a palace maid. It's really...
"Gulu~"
My stomach growled.
Su has... (⊙＿⊙;)...
The tyrant raised an eyebrow at her and asked in surprise, "You didn't have breakfast?"
Brother Emperor, which eye of yours saw me having breakfast?!
I was watching you while you were eating!
Su Yi shook his head.
The tyrant was merciful and said, "There are some snacks on the table outside, go and have some."
"Yes."
Su had put down his fan and went out.
She glanced towards the inner room and thought the tyrant wouldn't see her.
She didn't hesitate and sat on the chair to eat, and poured herself a cup of tea.
This traditional snack has a sweet taste and is perfect when eaten with tea, without being choking or greasy.
If she ate to her heart's content, she could finish both plates.
But this is the palace, so we must not be too reckless. Who knows if the tyrant will suddenly want to eat, and then find that the plate is empty, and if he fails to refill it in time, he will massacre everyone in the imperial study? !
So Su Yi ate a few pieces and put it down.
After a pause, he put the tea bowl he had drunk from into his sleeve.
When she got inside, she said to the tyrant, "Your Majesty, I want to go out for a while."
"What are you doing outside? You are not allowed."
Su Yi was silent for a moment, then said shamelessly, "Toilet."
The tyrant paused.
"Go ahead. Do you know where it is?"
"knew."
"Well, go and come back quickly."
"Yes."
Su Yi bowed and walked out.
After the door was closed, Lan Jingrun put down his pen and walked out.
He glanced at the table and his eyes darkened.
He went to the door and opened it, his expression grim and his voice cold: "Where did the person go?"
The imperial guard at the door swallowed nervously, thought for a moment before realizing who he was talking about, and quickly replied, "Towards the direction of the Imperial Garden."
Lan Jingrun strode towards the imperial garden with big strides.
The imperial guards were about to catch up, but were stopped in their tracks by his gaze and stood back silently.
By the way, the newly promoted handsome young eunuch seems to be a bit favored...
After leaving the tyrant's sight, Su Yi felt no pressure at all and wandered around the most conspicuous place in the Imperial Garden.
She walked around two or three times and counted the flowers around her several times, but still no one came to contact her.
Her brows furrowed.
After thinking about it, I decided to take another turn.
If you go back and say you have diarrhea and wasted time, the tyrant probably won’t say anything.
However, in the last round, I didn’t wait for the connection, but I saw the famous Concubine Luo.
After a moment's hesitation, she took the initiative to go up and pay her respects.
Qiyunzi's official partner must be on Qiyunzi's side and may be able to help her.
"Meet Concubine Luo."
Luo Chenyu looked at Su Yi kneeling down to pay her respects, and felt that he looked familiar. She asked in confusion, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
"Last night, I was almost mistaken for an assassin. Thank God, Your Majesty saw through everything and didn't kill me by mistake. He then took me with him and sent me back to the palace safely."
Luo Chenyu suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you."
"It was me. After I returned home last night, the emperor took me to the Wansui Palace for questioning. The emperor saw that I was smart, so he kept me in the Wansui Palace and said that I didn't need to work in the imperial kitchen anymore."
Luo Chenyu was confused.
She didn't ask anything, so why did this little eunuch say so much?
Luo Chenyu nodded casually: "Yeah."
Su Yi continued, "Although I work for the Emperor, I also respect the Imperial Concubine very much. If the Imperial Concubine has any orders in the future, please send someone to the Wansui Palace to let me know. I will definitely go through fire and water for her."
Luo Chenyu: ...
This is the first time I have seen a servant so blatantly flattering and showing his loyalty to her!
Isn't he afraid that Lan Jingrun will chop off his head if he finds out? !
Luo Chenyu looked at Su Yi with disdain.
Such a stupid servant will die sooner or later, so it’s better to stay away from him to avoid being implicated.
She simply ignored him and walked around Su Yi.
Su Yi looked at Luo Chenyu who was leaving with his men, his mind full of questions.
So she understood what she said, didn't she?!
If Lan Jingyue talked to her about the assassin, she must mention her "little eunuch".
"You have to go to the Imperial Garden to use the toilet? Why do you have to smell the fragrance of flowers to go out?"
A cold voice sounded behind him.
Su Yi's hair stood on end.
He turned stiffly, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty."
Lan Jingrun looked at her coldly and indifferently: "Do you know why the imperial concubine didn't respond to you even though you said so much from the bottom of your heart?"
Su Yi looked up and asked curiously, "Why?"
"In the palace, if the emperor's attendants collude with the concubines, both will be beheaded."
Su Yi: ⊙▂⊙
"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Su Yi: ...
“Is it okay to die of old age?”
*
night.
It's time for the tyrant to eat.
The imperial kitchen served a full banquet, which was delicious and tasty. Su Yi watched expressionlessly, not greedy at all.
Lan Jingrun glanced at her, dismissed the eunuch who was tasting the food, and said to Su Yi, "You come and taste the food for me."
Su Yi responded and stepped forward, speaking rudely to the palace maid who was serving the food.
"Give me half a bowl of porridge, I'll try to see if it's poisonous."
