Qi Dafu went up and knocked on the door, but no one responded for a while.

"Sir, there seems to be no one at home."

Qi Dafu turned around and said.

No one?

As the head of the palace, Li Changle has a low status, but he is a eunuch after all. Although many ministers are polite to him on the surface and seem very enthusiastic, they actually do not have too much social interaction with him, and they will not be friends with him. Therefore, there are very few friends that Li Changle can date on weekdays.

"Since there is no one, then go back."

Li Xun said, and was about to leave.

"Is it Li Xiangguo?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Li Xun turned his head to look at it, but it was Guixiao. He twisted the wooden box with his left hand and held a pot of wine with his right hand.

Guixiao is a twelve or thirteen-year-old eunuch. He was born in poverty and entered the palace at the age of six. Because he was a fellow villager with Mu Gong, he was blessed and loved by Mu Gong. It was also because of this relationship that Li Changle attached great importance to Guixiao and cared for his brothers as a general love for his younger brother. He not only liked Guixiao's cleverness, but also had the kindness of repaying Mu Gong.

"Li Xiangguo, it's really you, why are you here?"

Li Xun turned his head, Guixiao saw his face clearly, and he suddenly felt happy on his face, and he quickly trotted over.

"I heard that Xiao Lezi is sick, so I'm here to visit me."

Li Xun pointed to the things in Guixiao's hands and smiled and said, "Who did you give them to?"

Guixiao said, "I can't cook, so I can only go to a hotel to buy food for my godfather."

“It seems that there is no one at home.”

"No, my godfather has no friends, where can I go?"

After hearing Li Xun's words, Guixiao felt a little surprised. When he left, his godfather was still at home, and during this period, his godfather had not gone anywhere and didn't even go out of the door. Where could he go?

Guixiao stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, there was no movement inside. Then, he knocked on the door in another way, three levels and three lights. At this time, there was finally movement inside.

A moment later, the door was opened, and the person who opened the door was Li Changle.

Li Changle seemed a little surprised when he saw Li Xun outside the door, but soon there was a smile on his face. He opened the door and waved to Li Xun: "Come in quickly and have a drink with me."

"It's broad daylight, why are you closing the door so tightly? I'm afraid someone will come to you?"

Li Xun entered the door and said jokingly.

Li Changle smiled bitterly and sighed: "I'm just afraid that there will be someone. No one will come, that's the best."

Li Xun asked, "What the hell happened?"

Li Changle shook his head and said nothing.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, then I won't ask more."

Li Xun didn't ask much, pulled Li Changle to sit down, and then looked at him carefully: "I heard that you are sick, so I came to visit you, but you looked very good and didn't look sick."

Li Changle smiled and said, "Whether you are sick or not, isn't it just a matter of the emperor's words?"

Although Li Changle was smiling on his face, his smile seemed very bitter.

Li Xun looked at Li Changle silently, saying nothing should have been said for a moment. The information exposed by his words was obviously very complicated and sensitive, and could not be discussed or said casually.

"Since you are not sick, then we two can have a few drinks."

Li Xun patted Li Changle on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Li Changle's mood was very wrong. Although he kept smiling, Li Xun still faintly saw a lot of worry and... fear from the depths of his eyes. I am afraid that the only person who can make him feel scared is the only one who can make him feel afraid.

Li Xun's arrival obviously made Li Changle's emotions relax and vent. He asked Guixiao to go out and buy a lot of drinks and then chat with Li Xun there.

The two of them drank for an entire hour until Li Changle got drunk and that ended.

"Please help him in."

Li Xun pointed at Li Changle and said to Qi Dafu.

Li Xun's alcohol capacity can only be considered average, but Li Changle's alcohol capacity is even worse.

Qi Dafu helped Li Changle to the room to rest.

Guixiao was cleaning up the dishes and Li Xun, who was sitting beside him, suddenly said, "Did the emperor have a murderous intention to kill your godfather?"

Hearing this sentence, Guixiao shook his hands and the porcelain bowl in his hand fell directly to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Sir, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."

Guixiao pretended to be deaf and was dumb, and escaped from Li Xun's questions.

Li Xun looked at Guixiao silently until the latter's face became increasingly unnatural, then he said softly: "In the eyes of others, Li Changle is a eunuch with a low status and a ridiculed person. However, I, Li Xun, have never had these ideas. Everyone is equal. Not many people can make me truly consider my friend. Li Changle is one of them. If he has anything, I will do my best to help. If you don't say anything now, I can't help him."

Guixiao lowered his head and said softly: "If my godfather doesn't let me say it, no one can say it."

Li Xun said indifferently: "If you don't say it, then all the things can only be fought against by your godfather. If you think your godfather can take this off, then... you can choose not to say it."

Guixiao pursed his lips and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he knelt down at Li Xun, kowtowed and cried, "Please ask Li Xiangguo to save my godfather. As long as you are willing to help, I am willing to sell my life to you."

Li Xun helped Guixiao up and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Guixiao said in a trembling voice: "After a dozen days ago, Zhao Chengde, Chu Xufa and my godfather, several of the most substantial eunuchs in the palace, got together. After that, when he returned to the room that night, his godfather vomited and had diarrhea, and his abdominal pain was unbearable. I went to the Imperial Hospital and found a good imperial physician to treat his godfather. After some treatment, the imperial physician told us that this was caused by poisoning."

Li Xun said in confusion: "Li Changle is the chief supervisor of the big house. Zhao Chengde and Chu Xu found that they dared to poison him? This is unlikely!"

Guixiao said: "Of course they don't have that courage. It's the emperor's intention. The emperor asked Zhao Chengde to do this."

Li Xun said: "How do you know what the emperor means?"

"Not long after the imperial doctor left, Chu Xufa sent a palace maid to come and told us the details."

"Why did Chu Xufa tell you? He doesn't need to take this risk."

Li Xun felt that Chu Xufa's actions seemed very contradictory and there was no need for that, because he and Li Changle had no friendship. One of them was the chief supervisor of the big house, and the other was in the military camp for a long time, replacing the emperor and exercising the power of supervision. Moreover, they were the two eunuchs with the highest status in the palace. There was a competitive relationship between them. Since that is the case, why did Chu Xufa help Li Changle?
