Chapter 41: Confused and Unable to Tell

"Did Zhao Feng send him here!?"

Zhao Feng is the current figure in the palace, the head eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhao Bugao's godfather.

Wei Chengji and Zhao Feng are figures of the same period, but compared with the other, his achievements are far less.

But compared with those dead bones in the tomb, Wei Chengji is also a remarkable figure.

The struggle for power in the palace is extremely fierce, not only among the nobles, but also among the servants.

None of the palace maids and eunuchs who can live to old age is an ordinary person, and they all have extraordinary wisdom in dealing with the world.

Wei Chengji also competed with Zhao Feng in the past, but later he spent a lot of money and settled the grievances between them under the witness of the older generation.

But what does it mean that Zhao Feng asked his adopted son to come to the door at this time?

At this moment, Wei Chengji would rather they do things impartially.

Because looking at the smile on Zhao Bugao's face, Wei Chengji can only think that they are plotting bigger.

This is probably a price he can't afford.

If they can't get what they want, I'm afraid...

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and just showing their attitude is enough.

Seeing Wei Chengji's pale face, Zhao Bugao supported him, and with his other hand, he led him forward, and said:

"Eunuch Wei, go in and sit down and have a good chat."

The two entered the main hall, and then closed the doors and windows. The eunuchs in flowery clothes guarded outside the door and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Seeing this, Li Xuan quickly went around to the back, trying to find a window to eavesdrop.

He had a hunch that the conversation between the two people would not be simple.

But when Li Xuan went around to the back, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I don't know when, the main hall of Yanqu Hall has been guarded every five steps and every ten steps.

More eunuchs in flowery clothes guarded every door and window of the main hall.

"When did these eunuchs in flowery clothes come?"

The eunuchs in flowery clothes in front of him were obviously much more than those brought in by Zhao Bugao from the main gate.

"Damn, that damn eunuch!"

"You said it politely, but you ended up arranging people in other people's houses."

Li Xuan looked around anxiously and found that there was no angle to see inside.

With the doors and windows closed, he could only stick to the wall to hear the conversation inside.

"By the way, try the roof."

Li Xuan had just climbed up a tree near the main hall when he found that there were also eunuchs in flowery clothes on the roof to guard.

As soon as he came up, he looked into the eyes of a eunuch in flowery clothes, and he was so scared that he quickly ran down.

The eunuch in flowery clothes didn't care too much, it was just a cat, and it was normal for him to climb up and down.

But this one was a little timid, and ran away when he saw him from a distance.

In the end, Li Xuan had no choice but to hide in the nearby bushes.

Here, he couldn't see or hear any movement in the main hall.

"What exactly is this Zhao Bugao trying to plot?"

This was the first time Li Xuan was defeated since his debut.

He had wondered before, would there really be someone in the palace who would be so perverted as to be wary of even a little cat like him.

Now he really encountered one.

Li Xuan’s curiosity to explore was not satisfied, and he felt uncomfortable.

But in this situation, he could only watch anxiously.

Zhao Bugao and Wei Chengji had been discussing behind closed doors in the main hall for a long time. Just when Li Xuan was about to fall asleep, the main hall door slowly opened.

Zhao Bugao was the first to walk out, with a smile on his face, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Wei Chengji walked out two steps behind with a gloomy face, and he obviously couldn’t smile.

Zhao Bugao turned around and bowed, saying, "Eunuch Wei, please send him here. It’s really presumptuous for you to visit me suddenly today."

Wei Chengji didn’t say anything, but just returned the bow and remained silent.

Seeing his attitude, Zhao Bugao just smiled slightly, leaned in and whispered:

"As long as the eunuch follows the plan, I guarantee that the eunuch will be safe."

"Zhao Bugao promises in the name of godfather."

With this promise, Wei Chengji's expression eased a bit, and he said with a cupped hand: "Since I promised, I will not break my promise."

"General Manager Zhao was able to make peace with me back then, and has not offended me since then, so I naturally believe him."

With Zhao Feng's power now, it is easy to deal with Wei Chengji.

But seeing that Wei Chengji can still sit firmly in the position of the eunuch of the seal room of Yanqu Hall until today, it can be seen that the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the first eunuch in the palace, has no intention of settling accounts later.

"That's the best, that's the best..."

Zhao Bugao said with a smile, and then led his people away without looking back.

The well-trained evacuation of those flowery eunuchs disappeared in a moment.

But Wei Chengji's face was still solemn and full of worry.

Li Xuan didn't know what the two talked about, but from their respective expressions, it was obvious that Wei Chengji was unwilling to accept the result.

And Zhao Bugao led his men to leave directly, which seemed to be anticlimactic.

I thought that the reason why they came to Yanqu Hall with such a big fanfare today was to thoroughly investigate this place and find out the source of the ghost rumors, but now it seems that they have no intention of doing so.

Zhao Bugao just left after a closed-door discussion with Wei Chengji.

It seems that he has completely forgotten the original intention of coming here today.

But after Zhao Bugao left, Li Xuan saw that Yanqu Hall actually closed the palace gates and completely blocked the inside and outside.

Wei Chengji issued an order in the name of the eunuch Yinfang: "The palace has been in chaos recently, so Yanqu Hall is closed and locked to clear the source."

"During the closure, except for necessary tasks, you are not allowed to wander around the hall without reason, and you are not allowed to discuss the affairs of the palace in private."

"If you violate it, you will be severely punished!"

The sudden closure made everyone in Yanqu Hall a little panic, but everyone had no choice but to obey the order.

Li Xuan realized that this might be the result of Zhao Bugao and Wei Chengji's closed-door discussion.

But what the intention is is still unclear.

"Now we can only act according to circumstances."

Li Xuan hid in the dark and sighed.

This feeling of being helpless and being torn by this invisible vortex was really unpleasant.

"Let's keep an eye on Deng Weixian and Xiao Zhuozi."

...

In the following days, as Yanqu Hall was completely blocked, no news from the outside world could come in.

The panic atmosphere at the beginning also settled down.

It seemed that the closure of the hall and the palace really worked, making everyone's heart no longer fluctuate like before.

Xiao Zhuozi also settled down and slept well at night, and did not go to "suck bamboo tube" for several days in a row.

Li Xuan and Deng Weixian were also relieved, and they just practiced every day.

Their days seemed to have returned to the previous dull appearance.

Li Xuan could still enter and leave Yanqu Hall freely, so he could occasionally inquire about some news from other places.

At first, he thought that the closure of the hall and the palace was implemented in the entire harem, but soon found that it was only Yanqu Hall.

There are still rumors of hauntings in other places, but they are not as overwhelming as they were a few days ago.

I think that after a while, the rumors of hauntings will gradually subside and become another old news in the palace.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, a scream in a quiet morning broke everyone's fantasy.

The peace that Yanqu Hall finally found was finally broken again.

"Ah——"

"Someone hanged himself!"

Thanks to "PAUL2" for the reward support.

Thank you for the monthly ticket support of "Rejecting Childish Aesthetics Starts from You, Him, and Her".

Bai Miao raised her hips and kowtowed to the two of them.

"Dong, Dong!"
