Chapter 466 Both of them were careless
"Don't worry, Madam. Everything has been arranged. I will inconvenience you by letting you stay in the cold palace for a few more days...
I promise you that when the mission is completed, I will come to pick you up in style..."
Inside the room, a little eunuch with a hoarse voice was expressing his loyalty to Concubine Xian.
No, she is no longer the virtuous imperial concubine, but has been stripped of her title and can only be called the young lady.
Just looking at the respectful look of the little eunuch, it seems that Concubine Xian's life here is not as luxurious as before, but it is still pretty good.
Looking inside the room again, there was still a high bed and a soft sleeper, and it was not only tidy, but also had all the necessary things, and was fully prepared.
"Well, send the letter out, and tell your master to move faster. I can't stay in this shabby place for even a day."
Concubine Xian was half lying on the couch. On the small table next to her was a fruit plate and a few plates of snacks, which gave off a faint sweet fragrance.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely deliver the letter as soon as possible. If Your Majesty needs anything else, I will also try to deliver it as soon as possible."
"Not for now. Go quickly and do your job well. Otherwise, if you delay this important matter, your master will not forgive you."
Concubine Xian waved her hands impatiently, as if she was shooing away a fly.
If she and her son were not being watched as if they were thieves, she would not even be able to leave the cold palace. How could she be so controlled by others?
The young eunuch agreed, then quickly picked up a letter from the table and carefully put it in his arms, then bowed politely, and then retreated in small steps.
Yuxiu and Guiyuan Shanren were standing in the space, so even if the little eunuch walked past them, he would be completely invisible to them.
"Is this not going to stop yet?"
Yuxiu was speechless. She had already been sent to the cold palace, yet she still dared to stir up trouble. It seemed that the woman in this room really wanted to die.
"I don't know who this little eunuch's master is. Shall we go over and take a look?"
Guiyuan Shanren was also very curious and urged Yuxiu to catch up.
Of course it is necessary to follow them. Although Yuxiu does not want to be involved in the fight among these people, she is already in the situation and it is impossible for her to stay out of it.
No matter what happens this time, if I hadn't been unwilling to be manipulated, Concubine Xian and the Second Prince wouldn't have ended up like this. I guess they would have hated me a long time ago.
If they were really allowed to find another opportunity and completely turn the tables and become the masters of the Yuan Dynasty, then my family would have no chance of a good ending.
It’s true, although this cold palace looks like a ruin, there are actually quite a few houses inside.
The little eunuch was like a slippery loach, running around everywhere with his small body, probably trying to find out if there was anyone following him.
Yuxiu and the other person relied on the cover of space, so they had no psychological burden at all following the little eunuch.
After walking and stopping for a while, Yuxiu looked up at the two big black spiders on the eaves, feeling a little confused.
That's not right. How come after going around in circles, this little eunuch ended up back outside the courtyard where Concubine Xian lived?
Yuxiu and Guiyuanshan were both confused and looked at each other, when things took a turn for the better.
The young eunuch looked around outside the yard stealthily for a few times. When he didn't find anything wrong, he bent down and went into a very low and dilapidated side room next to it.
The side room had no front door, its windows were tilted to one side, and even part of the roof had collapsed.
Because the room was dark and small, Yuxiu had no intention of following the young eunuch in and just waited at the door.
"I guess he hid something good in there..."
Guiyuan Shanren stuck his head out to take a look and heard a rustling sound coming from the house, which sounded a bit like someone turning over dry straw in the corner.
"There is another possibility. This guy is hiding the letter that Concubine Xian just gave him."
Yuxiu had just looked at it. The room was cluttered with a lot of miscellaneous items. It was really a perfect place to hide things.
It was already the middle of the night and this place was rarely visited. The young eunuch had taken great pains to make such a big detour, making a feint outside and then coming back, he must have been trying to hide the letter.
Then someone else can come and take it away. There will be no need for any communication between them, and their identities will not be exposed.
Doesn't that mean that this is where those people meet?
Yuxiu and Guiyuan Shanren seemed to have a sudden epiphany and felt that their ideas were correct.
There was no sound in the room anymore, so the two of them didn't do anything else and just waited calmly.
He was even thinking about whether he should capture the person first or follow him to see who he delivered the letter to if the person in charge of the handover came.
But this time, neither Yuxiu nor Guiyuan Shanren expected that neither of them guessed correctly and they both miscalculated.
The two of them waited outside like this, and as time passed, the little eunuch still didn't come out.
By this time, Yuxiu already felt that something was wrong.
The room is so quiet...
Not only did the rustling sounds disappear, but even the little eunuch's breathing had disappeared.
Done!
People ran away!
At this time, Guiyuanshanren also reacted.
The two looked at each other and hurried into the house to check.
After entering, I found that there was no place to stand in the house, and there were sticks and dry straw everywhere.
Although the room was very messy, Yuxiu could tell at a glance that it was absolutely impossible for a living person to be hiding inside.
But the two of them had just blocked the door, and that person would definitely not slip away under their noses.
"Take this away, there is a tunnel underneath..."
Fortunately, Guiyuanshanren, as an omnipotent system, is still very useful at critical moments.
Yuxiu reached out and took away a basket of dry straw, and sure enough, a dark hole was revealed in the corner of the wall.
Oh my god, it looks like this guy ran away from underground.
Fortunately, Yuxiu and Guiyuan Shanren were still like fools, waiting for someone to come out.
"Hehe...I was careless..."
Guiyuan Shanren scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. I didn't expect your disciple to do that either."
Yuxiu was also a little amused and helpless. She was too careless and did not take the eunuch seriously, which led to her making such a mistake.
Because Guiyuanshan people could not leave the space, Yuxiu packed up casually and followed them down into the tunnel.
This tunnel may have been dug privately by these people, so it is short and narrow, and can only accommodate one person.
Yuxiu walked around in circles for a long time. Not only did she get a lot of mud on her body, but she also accidentally hit her head several times when turning corners. She couldn't help but feel very annoyed.
OK OK...
Today I must take a good look at how powerful this dead eunuch is. Can he even ascend to heaven?
