The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Shao Zhikan looked over the eaves at the stars shining in the deep autumn sky, and couldn't help but exhale deeply. Thinking about it, I wonder if my parents have ever seen such a night here.

Just as he was thinking about it, he realized that the little eunuch who was still playing or practicing in the courtyard had returned to the house at some point. Not long after that, the lights in the front yard were turned off one after another. The entire princess mansion was completely plunged into darkness. There was silence in this darkness. Not even a trace of insect chirping was heard.

Only at this moment did Shao Zhikan notice something strange. The Princess Mansion was so quiet and weird. Shao Zhikan frowned, just about to remind Wu Bing to be more careful. Suddenly I heard the creaking sound of wooden boards.

Wu Sheng, who was wandering around in his own mind and didn't notice anything strange, immediately became alert. The sound was getting closer and closer, slowly coming upstairs. But there was no sound of any landing at all. All that could be heard was the creaking sound of wooden boards being weighed over time. Same as when they went upstairs.

This made Shao Zhikan's already frowning brows frown even tighter. Wu Sheng on the side also stood ready. The sound of the wooden boards stopped at the door of the small attic. Wu Sheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

The door was slowly opened from the outside. Eunuch Rui's majestic-looking face appeared behind the door. As soon as Eunuch Rui saw Shao Zhikan, he immediately smiled and said: "The prince is here. How dare I ask the prince to go and call me. The old slave has come to see the prince in person. I just don't know that the prince is here in the middle of the night." What's the important thing here?"

When he saw Eunuch Rui, Shao Zhihan finally understood why there was not even a patrol court in the backyard. I'm afraid there is something wrong in the backyard. I can notify the front yard immediately. It is estimated that Eunuch Rui already knew this when he entered the princess's mansion. It's just a matter of standing still.

Shao Zhikan raised his hand to signal Wu Sheng to go out. After Wu Sheng went out, Shao Zhikan sighed and continued to look at the starry sky outside and said: "I originally wanted to ask my father-in-law to ask you to work for me. But now I don't know how to speak. Although it seems a bit pretentious, I I still want to say sorry to you."

After speaking, Shao Zhikan turned around, picked up the crutches beside him, stood up and bowed deeply to Eunuch Rui.

Eunuch Rui's eyes were filled with shock and joy. He couldn't care less about Shao Zhikan's bow at this time. He took two steps forward, grabbed Shao Zhikan's arms and said, "Your Majesty, you really stood up. Isn't this the old slave's hallucination?"

After saying this, Eunuch Rui immediately released his grip on Shao Zhikan's arm, clasped his hands together, bowed twice in the direction of the eldest princess's courtyard, and said with red eyes: "Bless me, princess. The prince's leg is actually healed. It must be the princess." There is a spirit in heaven."

Shao Zhikan saw Eunuch Rui's excitement, but he had no intention of explaining to Eunuch Rui what was going on with his leg.

But he didn't want to explain, but Eunuch Rui didn't want to let it go. After the excitement, Eunuch Rui helped Shao Zhihan sit down and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, how come your legs are so good?"

Shao Zhikan explained the reasons he had compiled before. The general idea is that his legs were poisoned by He Lanxi. That's why I lost feeling in my lower limbs. This time when fighting against the Protector, the poison that Master Liao Wu had previously controlled spread rapidly. Fortunately, Master Wu and Su Wanqiu arrived in time. Su Wanqiu killed him with her own blood. Unexpectedly, my legs were a blessing in disguise.

Eunuch Rui didn't quite trust this statement. But he was happy to see Shao Zhikan's leg healed. So he didn't delve into the details. Instead, he smiled and said: "It seems that the silly girl from the Su family is not the crown prince's disaster, but a blessing."

Shao Zhikan smiled and nodded and said: "That's right. She almost lost her name because of this. I really don't know how to repay her." Eunuch Rui said half-jokingly and half-temperingly: "Then marry according to the emperor's order. Isn't it the best way to repay her?"

Shao Zhikan smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not the repayment she wanted. But it's just right now."

Eunuch Rui smiled and shook his head without saying anything more. This look was all too familiar to him. The eldest princess also had this look in her eyes whenever she talked about her childhood sweetheart, the general's son. I'm afraid the eldest son of his family is really emotional. It seems that the marriage is on the little girl's side. It seems that if there is a chance, I should meet that little girl.

Eunuch Rui pulled Shao Zhikan here and there again. But neither of them mentioned the real purpose of Shao Zhihan's visit. This made Eunuch Rui feel a little strange. I don't know if Shao Zhikan is really fine, or if he is really calm.

But no matter what, as a slave, if he continues to test his master like this, it is really too much. But I have a new understanding of Shao Zhikan's determination.

Eunuch Rui finally stopped chatting with Shao Zhihan and said with a smile: "The prince has been refusing to say anything, so I will boldly make a guess. Is the prince here because of Eunuch Lu's affairs?"

Shao Zhikan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Eunuch Rui to mention Eunuch Lu first. I just don’t know how much Eunuch Rui knows here. Although this time he did come for Eunuch Lu. But the feeling tonight made him unable to open his mouth about this request. After all, spying on the royal family would be fatal if caught. It's not like the Scarlet Shadow Guards can still bear the guise of the emperor's orders.

But as I said just now, that apology was already hypocritical. It would be hypocritical to say otherwise now. Shao Zhikan sighed and smiled bitterly and said: "After I came here tonight, I felt that I had chosen the wrong time. I thought I would sit down for a while and then leave. But I didn't expect Eunuch Rui to come here in person.

Later, I thought it would be rare to chat with Eunuch Rui. It can be regarded as a way to get to know each other. Unexpectedly, my father-in-law actually took the initiative to mention Eunuch Lu. It seems that we have to talk about this serious matter today. I wonder how much my father-in-law knows about the situation in the palace? "

Eunuch Rui smiled warmly and said, "Although we no longer have leaders to report to, the imperial palace is still operating. Although some people have become more active, and some have even taken sides. But I can't talk about the things in the palace. I know everything, but only about [-]-[-]% of it."

Shao Zhikan nodded and said, "Eunuch Rui, can you tell me about the affairs between Eunuch Lu, my uncle, and King Huai Si? I wonder how much your father-in-law knows."

Eunuch Rui lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head and said to Shao Zhikan: "The prince asked so many questions when he came up, and I don't know where to start. But I can be sure that what I know may be better than the prince knows. A lot more. And the prince knows why Eunuch Fu came to you to talk about this matter. Instead of going to someone else? "

Shao Zhikan said nothing, just looked at Eunuch Rui and shook his head gently.
