Chapter 376 Sending Clothes
The young eunuch sent by Eunuch Sun was named Xiao Xia Zi. He didn't know that the war in Tianlao had come to an end.
Following Eunuch Sun's instructions, Xiao Xia Zi took Eunuch Sun's badge and found the imperial study without any obstruction.
When Zheng Tianbao heard that the matter concerned Luo Xiaoran, he did not hesitate at all and took the initiative to report the matter to Emperor Tianqi.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, then asked Zheng Tianbao to go out and send Xiao Xia Zi away.
There was a flash of surprise in Zheng Tianbao's eyes, but he immediately reacted and did his job as ordered.
When Qinghuan came, Huo Shui also sent a colleague from the Imperial Guard to inform Huo Qingyun of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingyun immediately set out to find Emperor Tianqi to ask for his permission to stop the Queen's behavior.
Just then, not far from the imperial study, he met Xiao Xiazi, who was sent by Eunuch Sun.
And Huo Qingyun happened to have seen him in the Heavenly Prison.
"Why are you here, Xiao Xiazi?" Huo Qingyun asked him
……
"How dare Luo Xiaoran!"
After Qinghuan returned to Kunning Palace to report to the Queen, she recounted her experiences in Tianlao with extra details.
When the queen heard this, she became furious.
“Also, I just got the news that the mistress had gone to the palace to pass on a message, asking the Queen Mother to help find the real murderer of the eldest son, but there was no news.
The Empress Dowager sent a message to the Empress Dowager, asking her not to interfere, saying that the Emperor is the Emperor after all, and the Emperor has spoken, and the murderer who killed the eldest son can only be Concubine Tang. "
Qinghuan poured more fuel on the Queen's anger.
"Why would the Empress do this? My eldest brother is the next head of the Lin family and she is her great-nephew!"
Qinghuan's fingertips swept across the red marks on the palm of her hand.
"The Emperor asked Concubine Tang to be the murderer in order to get Luo Xiaoran out.
The eldest son is the great-nephew of the Empress Dowager, but the emperor is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager... there is a difference in kinship, right? "
Qinghuan's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing hard on the mask made of gold, jade and jewels that the Queen had worn, and there was a tendency to crush the Queen's arrogance into dust.
In the queen's opinion, the Lin family has already surpassed the royal family. The three queens who came out of the Lin family in succession were also loyal to the Lin family and worked together to push the Lin family to a higher authority.
Especially her royal grandmother, or great-aunt, she is the biggest contributor to the Lin family's power today.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the thrones of Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Huizong, weren’t they all pushed for by this Empress Dowager?
But Qinghuan's words today completely opened up another idea for the queen.
Yes!
No matter how favorably the Empress Dowager treated the Lin family, whether it was Emperor Huizong or Emperor Tianqi, they were all her bloodline.
What will she choose between her own bloodline and her own maternal family?
My parents must have noticed my attitude towards the Empress Dowager a long time ago, so they told me not to think about it anymore. But my eldest brother died in the harem, how could my parents easily find out the murderer outside the palace?
The idea of meeting Luo Xiaoran in person came to her mind again, after the Queen was proud of her status and did not want to step into the dark and dirty place of the Sky Prison.
"Move forward, Heavenly Prison!"
……
Inside the prison, Luo Xiaoran and Wei An were applying medicine on each other's backs.
The medicine was given to them by Eunuch Sun, who said it was a stockpile of medicine for the Heavenly Prison.
To use the original words of Eunuch Sun, that is -
"If the prisoner dies during the torture and the case has not been fully investigated, he must not die at this point.
Therefore, the Tianlao always had various medicines for wounds, and some young eunuchs were quite knowledgeable in medicine, but they were not as good as the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Miss Luo and Miss Wei An should take the medicine first!
I will go down and find new clothes for the two girls."
After saying that, Eunuch Sun did not move, but hesitated for a moment, and said to Luo Xiaoran in a flattering manner:
"Miss Luo, the whipping just now was really the Queen's order and cannot be disobeyed. Please don't take it to heart."
"I'm not that stingy!"
Luo Xiaoran was waiting for him to come down, and then she and Wei An would apply the medicine together!
Eunuch Sun had just found some new clothes and was planning to send them to Luo Xiaoran when he happened to meet Xiao Xia Zi who had returned.
"Why did you come back!"
Xiao Xiazi looked a little evasive, but was questioned by the anxious Eunuch Sun:
"Have you seen the emperor? Does the emperor have any order?"
Under Eunuch Sun's expectant gaze, Xiao Xia Zi shook her head with difficulty.
"Eunuch Zheng went in to report, but when he came out, he said the emperor was reviewing memorials and would not see anyone."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Sun's blood ran cold.
No wonder!
Ever since Miss Luo entered the Heavenly Prison for the second time, he felt something was wrong.
When we first came, the Guards followed us from the beginning.
The second time, the emperor sent the imperial guards only after a case of food poisoning occurred.
The emperor seems to be caring less and less about Miss Luo.
Xiao Xiazi had obviously heard about what happened in the prison after he left. He looked at the tray of clothes in Eunuch Sun's hand and asked in a low voice:
"Eunuch Sun, are we still going to give you this dress?"
Eunuch Sun glared at Xiao Xiazi and said, "When is it your turn to ask questions? Go away! Get down now!"
Xiao Xiazi ran away in a hurry. Eunuch Sun looked at the exquisite clothes in his hand, thought for two seconds, and then walked towards Luo Xiaoran's cell.
Even if the emperor's attitude towards Miss Luo has changed, Miss Luo is still the future Princess of Yan. It is definitely not a wise choice to offend her at this time.
As Eunuch Sun thought about this, his steps became smoother.
In fact, the most natural thing for those servants in the palace is to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
Eunuch Sun was willing to send the clothes he bought with his own money to Luo Xiaoran as soon as possible. There was another reason that he would not say out loud, which was -
He felt that Luo Xiaoran treated him as a human being, not a slave or a eunuch, but a living person.
Eunuch Sun had been in the imperial palace for many years and had finally risen to the position of chief eunuch of the Heavenly Prison. He couldn't even count how much suffering he had endured, how much blood he had shed, how many people's toes he had licked, and how many lives he had been involved in.
He has met many people, and their identities vary greatly.
On one side is the noble master, on the other side is the lowly and humble palace maid, but both sides live in the same imperial city.
The masters never treat slaves as human beings. They are just tools to serve the masters. Whenever the masters are unhappy, they will be "replaced". Anyway, the thing that this imperial city lacks the least is slaves.
But Luo Xiaoran is different from these masters. She does not discriminate against her eunuch status. She treats the maid Wei An as her own sister. She is angry for the palace maid who died unjustly in the Hong Shanhu case...
Moreover, she would say "thank you" to herself for giving her clothes.
