Chapter 497 I've seen your love
Shen Shuyi spoke with a smile, but Xiao Shengzi felt a chill.
His throat tightened, and he said quickly, "My Lord, your words are too serious. I will call someone for you right now!"
After saying this, Xiao Shengzi glanced at Tong Guan, who was groggy and had a hot face, and kicked him, saying, "The county lord wants to see you, why don't you get up!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the young eunuch beside him and said, "Little stake, what are you waiting for?"
Xiao Zhuangzi was stunned for a moment, then he climbed up using his hands and feet and helped Tong Guan up.
"Can we go?"
Tong Guan was dizzy from fever and nodded slightly. In his blurred vision, he vaguely saw a slender figure.
Shen Shuyi said nothing more, turned around and walked to the side.
Xiao Zhuanzi supported Tong Guan, and the two of them limped along.
Little Shengzi stared at the backs of the few people without saying anything. The eunuch beside him couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Sheng, why are you so afraid of a county lady?"
Xiao Shengzi couldn't explain the reason, but when he met Shen Shuyi's eyes, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear.
He retracted his gaze and whispered, "The Princess of Changning County is currently a favorite of the Empress Dowager. You are not unaware of what happened in the palace yesterday..."
"Hurry up and do it! It's so unlucky that I have to help those two cowards with their work!"

It was inconvenient for Shen Shuyi to go to the side room where the eunuchs lived. Seeing that Tong Guan had a high fever, he simply bribed two eunuchs who were cleaning the room and found a remote palace.
Because there was no master living there, it was very cold in the palace.
But fortunately, it is much better than the snow and wind outside.
When Jinzhu saw the appearance of the two men, she turned around and bought a pot of hot tea from the eunuch in charge, and asked him to help find two sets of clothes for the eunuchs to wear.
Xiao Zhuanzi glanced at Shen Shuyi, not sure what she wanted them to do.
But when he saw the hot tea, he couldn't wait to pour a cup for Tong Guan.
Tong Guan didn't drink it, but just held it in his palm and looked at Shen Shuyi vigilantly.
"Why did you save us, sir?"
Shen Shuyi didn't mind his defense, but said to Yu Ping: "Give him the thing."
Yuping nodded, took out a letter and handed it to Tong Guan.
Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, but still reached out his hand with trembling hands and took the letter.
Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry and looked carefully at the dark and thin eunuch in front of him.
There was frost and snow all over the sky outside. The snow on his eyelashes turned into water droplets, and his cheeks were a little sunken, which did not look very pleasing.
But if he were a little fatter, he might have an honest look.
His lips were dry and pale, and his face had many bruises. It was obvious that he was not having an easy time in the palace.
At this moment, the hands holding the letter were covered with frostbite, rough, and cracked with tiny cuts, which did not look very good.
Tong Guan read on quickly, tears welling up in his eyes.
His throat hurt badly and his whole body felt weak, but at this moment, nothing could bring him more comfort and pain than this letter.
"This is given to you by Miss Tong Xuan." Yu Ping handed him a jade pendant of not very good quality.
Tong Guan took it with a trembling voice, his throat choking with sobs: "I will kill those beasts!"
Xiao Zhuanzi was illiterate and could only recognize a few words on the letter. He had no idea what was written on it.
Tong Guan lowered his eyes slightly, and tears flowed down his dry and stiff face.
Shen Shuyi spoke slowly: "Tong Xuan and Aunt Tong are now with me. You don't have to be controlled by Qing in the palace anymore. Tong Xuan will avenge herself, and you need to avenge yourself."
Tong Guan came back to his senses, opened his eyes and knelt in front of Shen Shuyi: "The county lady is so kind and generous, Tong Guan will never forget it!"
"Just tell me what to do, County Lord."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi stared at him for a while, sighed softly, and helped him up.
Perhaps this is the tragedy of smart people, who know their own price clearly.
"Since you are so straightforward, I will get straight to the point. I lack eyes and ears in the palace. If you are willing to work for me, I am also willing to help you rise to higher positions."
Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, and just when he wanted to speak, he heard Shen Shuyi say again: "If you don't want to, it's okay. I will still protect the safety of Tong Xuan and Aunt Tong. When the time comes, I will find someone else."
Tong Guan was silent for a moment and looked at Shen Shuyi: "Why me? Me? I have nothing."
Shen Shuyi chuckled: "I heard that you are good at martial arts, and I have seen your friendship."
Tong Guan turned his head to look at the cotton-padded clothes prepared for him and Xiao Zhuangzi, his throat tightened: "I need three days to think about it."
"can."
Shen Shuyi nodded, then left two white porcelain bottles to Xiao Zhuangzi.
"The pills in this porcelain bottle can reduce fever and dispel cold, and nourish the body. You should take one pill every day for five days. The ointment in the other porcelain bottle can be applied to the wound to promote healing."
Xiao Zhuanzi held the pills, his eyes reddened: "Thank you very much! Thank you very much!"
Shen Shuyi looked at Tong Guan and left him a bag of silver.
"The weather is extremely cold right now, so you'd better ask the pharmacist at the Imperial Hospital to treat you."
"Thank you, my lord." Tong Guan's throat tightened as he recognized Shen Shuyi as the girl he had wanted to help that day.
Shen Shuyi said nothing more and prepared to leave.
Tong Guan looked at her back and suddenly said, "I can do something for the county lady."
Shen Shuyi stopped and looked at him in confusion: "Didn't you say you would have to think about it for three days?"
Tong Guan said softly, "I've thought about it."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi smiled. Compared to waiting another three days, she would naturally prefer to convince Tong Guan now.
Shen Shuyi asked Jinzhu to give him a bag of gold leaves, and said slowly: "You can't get by in the palace without silver. You don't have to worry about money, but there are many rules and nobles in the palace, so you should pay more attention to safety."
"Don't worry, County Lord."
Shen Shuyi said again: "What you need to do now is to change the situation between you and Xiaozhuanzi first."
Tong Guan nodded.
Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Shen Shuyi assumed that he was sure and didn't say anything more.

After Shen Shuyi left, Xiao Zhuanzi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "This is really a great thing, but didn't you say you wanted to think about it for three days? Why did you agree so quickly?"
Tong Guan's gaze fell on the little guy in front of him with a swollen eye. He smiled gently without explaining.
Xiao Zhuanzi entered the palace with him, but because he gave him a steamed bun at the beginning, he has been protecting him over the years.
After all, I am just a slave. It doesn't matter who I work for.
But even if he was a servant, he wanted to choose his own master.
Having spent several years in and outside the palace, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature.
At least the Princess of Changning County, who just happened to hear someone using her mother and sister to threaten her that day, took it to heart.
At least when she was preparing cotton clothes and medicine, she could see Xiao Zhuangzi instead of him who was only of use.
Tong Guan thought that he was willing to take this gamble, as he could still have good intentions towards someone who was of no use to him.
He's had enough of this kind of life!
