Chapter 183 The Pepper Room Dotes on Me
Chapter 183 The Pepper Room Dotes on Me
Since I can't see through it, I can only take the risk and go in to check the truth.
Eunuch Gui took the gift box and said to his trusted eunuch, "Leave here now, return to the capital, and wait for news at Jinxiu Tea House. If there is no news from me after an hour and a half, you must immediately go to the palace and tell the emperor that His Royal Highness Prince Yi must have rebelled."
The trusted young eunuch was slightly startled and nodded solemnly.
Eunuch Gui then held the box and turned gracefully to look at Jianying: "Please lead the way, Commander Jianying."
The Summer Resort is very large, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and is beautifully built.
Jianying took Eunuch Gui around inside, walking neither fast nor slow, neither hurried nor slow, but he did not say a word. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the sword at his side hitting the iron ring between his fingers.
This voice made Eunuch Gui's scalp tingle: "Commander Ying, haven't we reached the place where the prince is resting yet?"
Jianying had deliberately taken a detour, and after seeing the beads of sweat on Eunuch Gui's face, he slowed down his pace a lot: "Well, there is still some distance. This Summer Resort was gifted to my prince by the late emperor. It is beautiful, but too big. Although I have been here many times, I still can't recognize the road. Here... should I go left or right?"
Eunuch Gui swallowed hard, hugged the brocade box with his left hand, and wiped the sweat off his face with his right hand: "If Commander Xing can't recognize the way, find someone to lead the way soon. This old servant is also following orders. Didn't you see it just now? There are palace maids and guards waiting outside!"
Jianying raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Well, I remember now. Turn left and walk through this yard and you will arrive!"
After hearing this, Eunuch Gui did not feel at all relieved. Instead, he felt even more uneasy and afraid, and sweat fell more and faster.
Because if Ouyang Yi was really not in the Mountain Resort, the moment he knew it, it would most likely be the day of his death.
Death is not scary. What is scary is having a premonition that you will die but being powerless to change it. This thing can happen at any time and is especially frustrating!
Seeing Eunuch Gui wiping his sweat, Jianying said calmly, "It's not even summer yet, why is Eunuch Gui so hot?"
Eunuch Gui wiped the sweat off his head again and said with a smile, "I have a hot body and like to sweat. Leader Jianying, don't worry about it."
Jianying looked at him expressionlessly, which made Eunuch Gui feel uneasy: "Why does Commander Jianying look at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?"
He sensed the danger, but still came in. Now that he was being stared at, he felt as if a sword was hanging over his head, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Jianying did not retract his gaze, but stared more closely, and said slowly: "Really? Your physique will make my prince very envious. Now his cold is getting worse, so General Bai ordered us to build a special place in the Summer Resort in the past two days. I am afraid that when Eunuch Gui goes to that room later, he will feel like he is in hell."
As soon as the word "hell" came out, Eunuch Gui almost dropped the brocade box in his hand.
Threat, this is a threat!
"Naked" threat!
Jianying saw him staggering and rushed forward to support him, but frightened Eunuch Gui so much that he sat down on the ground and threw the box in his hand away.
Jianying rescued the box immediately and frowned slightly: "Eunuch Gui, be careful, didn't you say that this was a gift from the Emperor to my prince? If it falls to the ground, the two of us can't afford it!"
Eunuch Gui sat on the ground, his collar wet with sweat, but he did not feel hot, but instead felt waves of cold.
Jianying held the box and looked not far away: "Eunuch Gui, that is the room. Let's go in quickly. My prince and General Bai are waiting for you inside."
As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand and pointed in a general direction.
Eunuch Gui looked at the tightly closed door of the room not far away, and his heart was in his throat. There was not even a window in the house that was open. It was tightly closed. Even the gaps in the windows and doors were deliberately changed. If you enter, it will be like being swallowed by a giant beast.
It might even be...silent.
The Sword Shadow Commander must have wanted to lure him into the room and kill him.
No, he might even be tortured and forced to answer questions about the emperor.
Jianying stood there, glanced at Eunuch Gui in front of him with his cold eyes and said, "It's time to get going."
As soon as these words came out, the tension in Eunuch Gui's heart finally broke: "Commander Xing, I was sent by the Emperor. If anything happens to me, you should know the consequences!"
He stepped back in horror, looking at the sword shadow in front of him, as if he saw the Black and White Impermanence who were taking his life.
Jianying looked at him, frowning slightly, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
At this moment, a clear female voice sounded, accompanied by the sound of the door opening: "Eunuch Gui, why are you cursing yourself for no reason?"
Eunuch Gui was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Bai Wei.
Bai Wei poked her head out of the closed room and waved at him, "Eunuch Gui, aren't you going to give a gift to Prince Yi on behalf of the Emperor? Come in quickly, the door can't be left open for too long!"
Eunuch Gui was stunned for a moment.
General Bai was actually in the Summer Resort, which meant that... the person who went to the Xiao family army camp was not her. Then was His Royal Highness Prince Yi... also there?
If both of them were in the summer resort, it meant that there was no danger here as he imagined. Thinking of this, he looked at Jianying with confusion in his eyes.
What was the purpose of all that deliberate evasion, detours, and threats just now?
Jianying said calmly, "Why are you looking at me like that, Eunuch Gui? I told you long ago that my prince and General Bai are waiting for you in the room. They asked you to go in, but you didn't go in on your own."
Eunuch Gui's face suddenly turned the color of liver: "What hell did you say? On the road? What do you mean? You are deliberately scaring me, Sword Shadow Commander, what is your intention!"
He is the emperor's confidant, how dare he!
Jian Ying still had no expression on his face: "That house was designed by General Bai for the prince, and there seems to be something very spicy and hot in it. Eunuch Gui said that you have a hot body constitution, and I'm afraid it will get worse if you go in. It will be hell for you. As for the road, you are standing in the middle of the road without moving, so I am naturally inviting you to pass!"
When Eunuch Gui heard this, he felt a surge of blood and energy rising up, and his brain felt like it was about to explode.
Bai Wei said again, "Eunuch Gui, I told you it was inconvenient, but you insisted on coming in. After you came in, you stood at the door for a long time without moving. Since you haven't thought it through, I'll close it first. When you think it through and want to come in, I'll open the door for you. The prince can't stand being left out in the cold!"
After saying that, he closed the door without any hesitation.
Eunuch Gui stood there, feeling that he was the clown: "General Bai, I will go in, I will go in!"
After all, he had not seen Ouyang Yi yet, nor had he handed the thing to him personally as he had said.
He walked closer quickly, and Bai Wei opened the door again. The moment the door was opened, Eunuch Gui felt a heat coming towards him and wanted to force him back.
But he still had no choice but to come in.
Then, Ouyang Yi was seen lying on the bed with his upper body naked. Bai Wei was standing beside him, holding a hand warmer with embroidered patterns and steaming his back.
"Wei Er said that she wanted to be the only one favoring me in the Pepper Chamber, but I didn't expect that Eunuch Gui would find a good opportunity to come in and take advantage of it."
Eunuch Gui: “…”
He doesn't want to take any advantage of this!
Well, this... What Nanny Yao had been saying was inconvenient finally took shape in his mind at this moment.
