Chapter 104: A Basket of Black Charcoal

Following Eunuch Wei, Chen Yuntang really hoped that the road to the Imperial Study Room would be longer. Unfortunately, Eunuch Wei's pace was very fast, as if he was "running", which made Chen Yuntang unable to delay it.

As he was getting closer and closer to the Imperial Study Room, the corridor ahead was blocked by several low-level palace maids and eunuchs.

Several people started arguing for some reason, and one of the palace maids and eunuchs even started fighting.

Chen Yuntang was stunned and his eyes fell. He really hoped that these eunuchs and palace maids could hold back Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei's face darkened, and he winked at the two young eunuchs who were following him, then smiled at Chen Yuntang, and said politely: "Hao, wait first, the miscellaneous family will deal with some small matters, it won't take long."

Chen Yuntang hoped that he would delay for a while, "Please give me some advice."

Eunuch Wei took the two eunuchs to the quarrels of the palace maids and eunuchs. Several palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt down in fear and apologized. Obviously, they didn't know that they would meet the eunuch in charge next to the Regent in such a remote place.

Anyone who is on duty in the palace knows that this is the most harsh person in the palace. Before Eunuch Wei can speak, the few people are so scared that their legs are weak.

Eunuch Wei had a stern face and scolded these low-level eunuchs and palace maids. The few of them were so frightened that they could crawl on the ground.

Chen Yuntang stood aside and had nothing to do. He was bored and was not far away from Eunuch Wei and others. So the voices of Eunuch Wei taught the eunuchs and palace maids to keep hearing.

At first, her face had not changed much, but as time passed, her brows gradually frowned.

After a while, her eyes slowly moved behind several eunuchs and palace maids, and saw a bamboo basket tilting down behind them. In the bamboo basket were pieces of black charcoal. Judging from the color, it was the most ordinary black charcoal.

Several eunuchs and palace maids quarreled over this basket of black charcoal.

Although the palace seems magnificent and superior, life in the palace is not as easy and smooth as the people think.

Some people in the palace have good connections and status, at least they can eat and wear well, but the lowest eunuchs and palace maids live in difficult times.

The little palace maids at the Clothes Washing Bureau will always be missing when the winter reaches the severe winter. Most of them can't stand the cold cold, and this year it's particularly cold.

These low-level eunuchs and palace maids in the deep palace may not be as fond as the nobles' favorite pets. If there is no more every year, no one will pay attention to them.

In this way, these most ordinary black charcoals appear even more precious here.

"Arguing for a basket of charcoal, no matter what, it is guilty. All the people are dragged to the Shenzheng Department!" Eunuch Wei's voice was sharp and angry.

When these palace maids heard the name of Shenxing Si, their faces were pale. After reacting, the two palace maids cried in despair, "Grandpa Wei spared your life! Eunuch Wei spared your life! I will never dare to do it again! This... This is the charcoal that the emperor rewarded me. I did not steal! I did not steal! This is the imperial edict..."

But as soon as Eunuch Wei finished speaking, a strong guard came up to pick up people, and he didn't care what they said, and he would take them away if he forced them away.

Hearing the two palace maids argue like this, Eunuch Wei snorted coldly, "Bitch, you actually use the name of the emperor to get rid of the crime. Be bold! Cover their mouths quickly!"

The two little palace maids were immediately covered by the guards and could only make a "whimper" plea, and their faces were filled with tears and snot. They were extremely pitiful.

Chen Yuntang looked at everything not far away. When the palace ladies were crawling on the ground, their hands were red and swollen, and two of them had frostbite on their cheeks and ears. It can be seen that they were indeed the lowest-serving palace ladders in the palace.

The two palace maids have low identities and are cautious in their behavior. At this time, how could they dare to tell lies in front of Eunuch Wei?

It is only possible that this basket of black charcoal was really given to Emperor Wu.

Chen Yuntang thought of the little emperor whom he had just met in the small study behind the Ganqing Palace. In order to be warm, he was basking in the sun by the window of the small room to read and write, but left charcoal to relieve these low-level palace maids who could not survive this winter.

At this moment, Chen Yuntang's heart seemed to be pinching hard, sour.

With the appearance of Eunuch Wei, these two little palace maids not only couldn't use this basket of black charcoal, but they even had to throw their lives ahead of time.

It can be seen how rampant the Regent's power in the palace is!

Eunuch Wei probably never took the little emperor Qin Che seriously.

Seeing that several low-level palace maids were about to be dragged down, Chen Yuntang suddenly shouted, "Slow down!"

Her voice came suddenly, and several guards who were dragging people were stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction where the sound was made. Seeing what Yongxing Hou said not far away, the guards all looked at Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei obviously didn't expect that the marquis would meddle in other people's business at this time. He frowned and subconsciously wanted to sarcastically mock Chen Yuntang, but when he spoke, he forced himself to hold back. Thinking of the difference between His Highness the Regent's regent to the little marquis, he pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a fake smile, "What advice do you have for the little marquis?"

Since Eunuch Wei had spoken, the guards who were recruiting people stopped and stood aside and waited.

Chen Yuntang walked to Eunuch Wei with his hands behind his back and smiled, "Why should Eunuch Wei get angry about this trivial matter? It's just a basket of black charcoal. It's not easy for a low-level palace servant. Eunuch Wei is also a person who has experienced it. Do you think this is OK? I will put ten cars of black charcoal on it to spend the winter for these low-level palace servants."

Hearing Chen Yuntang's words, the few low-level palace ladies who were about to be taken away immediately stared in shock. After reacting, they looked at Eunuch Wei with all their eyes, and at the same time, they still begged to kowtow silently, hoping that he could forgive them and agree to Chen Yuntang's conditions.

Eunuch Wei was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Chen Yuntang would plead for these irrelevant low-level palace ladies at this time and even stated these conditions.

Now, his brows frowned even tighter, and his eyes fell on Shen Yuntang's face. He carefully looked at the extremely young marquis.

Chen Yuntang stood openly not far from Eunuch Wei, with a clear and clear gaze allowed Eunuch Wei to look at it.

Time passed very slowly. Eunuch Wei shook his mind. When he came to his senses, he suddenly looked away, and then glanced at the embarrassing palace people not far away. His mind flashed through his eyes as he had just entered the palace.

He was poor and had many brothers. In order to survive in the family of seven or eight, his parents chose to sell them into the palace, became a stubborn eunuch.

The winter that year was very cold, much colder than this year. He was huddled in the corner with a high fever. If the old palace man hadn't snatched a few pieces of black charcoal for himself, he would have died in that winter long ago.

Eunuch Wei waved to several guards, with a stern face, but his voice became much more hoarse in an instant, "Get out!"

When the guards heard this word, they looked at each other twice, and then walked aside together.

Several low-level palace ladies were ashamed to get pardoned and were about to run away.

Chen Yuntang raised his voice and called them, "Don't forget about charcoal!"
