Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 929

Yun Shang had seen him the day when she moved into Weiyang Palace. When she opened the window, she saw several servants cleaning the yard. A eunuch carrying a bucket stumbled over a branch on the ground. He stumbled and spilled out most of the water in the bucket.

As a result, he was scolded by a maid in cyan for a long time. She saw the eunuch just stood there, bowed his head and said nothing. Several servants watched them, but no one helped him.

At that time, she thought that the Imperial Palace was probably the darkest place in the world as most people there were snobbish and they always bullied the good and feared the bad. At that time, she even thought of asking the eunuch to serve around her, but she gave up because she was afraid of getting into trouble as she was new there and hadn't figured out the situation.

"You said you didn't see him, but why did you know he is that person?" Yun Shang asked softly.

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "We delivered the message Your Majesty ordered to Her Former Majesty when we sent soup to Taiji Palace. Her Former Majesty said that His Former Majesty was meeting that person in the study. But she thought it would be inappropriate for her to go to the study rashly today as she had never disturbed him before. I asked her if she had ever seen the face of the man His Majesty had met. Then Her Former Majesty drew a portrait for us. I recognized him at a glance of the portrait."

Saying this, Qin Yi handed the portrait to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang took it over, unrolled it, and confirmed it was indeed that eunuch. She sneered in her heart and curled up her lips, "It's really him."

"What are you going to deal with him, Your Majesty?" Qin Yi asked softly.

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to kill him for the time being, and it's useless to kill him. Even if we kill him, Xia Huanyu will send another one. We'd better..."

Yun Shang smiled, "We'd better put him around me and keep him within our sight. That is the best way."

Yun Shang handed the portrait to Qin Yi, "Dispose of it. Don't let anyone find out."

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the window. It was windy outside. The trees in the yard rustled and shivered in the wind, many leaves falling down on the ground.

Some servants in charge of cleaning was sweeping the yard with a broom, but that eunuch was not there. Yun Shang thought he might've not come back from Taihe Palace.

Not long after, he came in from outside. As soon as seeing him, a eunuch who was cleaning the yard shouted at him and picked up the broom to hit him. The eunuch took two steps back and stumbled.

Yun Shang's eyes became colder. He was really good at acting. It was a pity that he didn't go to perform on stage.

Yun Shang turned around and said, "Let's go out to have a look." Saying this, she stepped out of the room.

When they walked into the yard, the eunuch, who was cursing, didn't notice Yun Shang as he was standing with his back to her. And the eunuch in charge of carrying water was still standing there with his head down. In front of Yun Shang, no one dared to remind them.

"You are just a servant who is only in charge of carrying water. Why are you so busy every day? Every time I look for you, I can't find you."

"Sorry, it's my fault." The eunuch timidly admitted his fault, but other still didn't let it go.

If Yun Shang hadn't known he was Xia Huanyu's spy, she might have been deceived by the scene. Thinking of this, Yun Shang put on a gentle smile. "What's wrong?"

"Go away. Mind your own business." The eunuch was so angry that he waved his hand without even turning around.

Qin Yi frowned and said, "How dare you offend the Empress?"

Hearing this, the eunuch trembled and turned around in a hurry. Then all the people in the yard quickly knelt down.

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't meant to offend Your Majesty. It's all my fault. Please forgive me." The eunuch kowtowed several times.

Yun Shang smiled, as if she was not angry. "So what happened?"

The eunuch trembled and answered in a hurry, "Your Majesty, there are many fallen leaves in the yard as it's been windy these days. We are very busy cleaning the yard every day, but we always couldn't find this servant who was in charge of carrying water at the busiest time. I was so angry that I couldn't help scolding him."

"Oh?" Yun Shang looked up at the eunuch who was scolded. The eunuch looked thin and weak, and his face was pale. Yun Shang paused for a moment and asked him, "Is it true?'

The eunuch didn't defend himself at all. "Yes."

"Why are you goofing off at work?" [5 ] frowned

and asked.
