Chapter 409: Is the visitor to the palace a good omen or a bad omen?
Leng Xian, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by a knock on the door.
Leng Xian was furious!
As for the current situation in the palace;
Just the days I live every day...
I really hope I can fall asleep, sleep longer, and not wake up so soon!
When you fall asleep, you can temporarily escape from some worries and avoid some troubles!
Who is this blind little dog slave?
How dare you wake me up when I just fell asleep!
"Beep, beep, beep..." The person outside was still knocking on the door.
Leng Xian frowned, turned around to look at the closed door, and then turned back.
Leng Xian really didn't want to bother with people outside.
Under the current circumstances, Leng Xian didn't believe that anything good could come to him!
I guess it was just someone coming to the gate to collect debts.
The servants in the mansion need food and drink;
Otherwise, it was Yin and his mother who were looking for trouble;
Not only can he not help, but he also comes to cause trouble for me!
In short...it won't be a good thing!
Leng Xian pulled the quilt up, still keeping his eyes closed and saying nothing.
"Beep, beep, beep..." The knocking on the door continued.
“My Lord, the younger one is Zhongshun.
I have something to report!
Lord...Lord..."
Leng Xian is so annoyed!
Thinking... as long as he didn't make a sound, Zhongshun naturally wouldn't dare to open the door and rush in.
A few more knocks at most...
Without getting a response, he didn't dare to continue bothering himself.
So Leng Xian closed his eyes tightly, said nothing, and prepared to continue sleeping.
At this time, I heard another person talking outside the door...
"What's wrong?
Knocking on the door like this...can't your master hear it even though he's inside?
Or... is it because your Lord is too arrogant and doesn't even bother to care about our family?"
After hearing this, Leng Xian suddenly opened his eyes!
The sound of that person speaking...
Leng Xian could tell that the person who was speaking was Eunuch Xiao Dongzi, the apprentice of Yu Feng, the chief eunuch in the palace!
Leng Xian was so shocked that he turned over and sat up.
Before Leng Xian could say anything, he heard Zhongshun outside explaining, "What are you talking about, father-in-law?
The arrival of the father-in-law brings honor to the Marquis's mansion!
How could my Lord Marquis deliberately neglect my Father-in-law!
It’s just because my master hasn’t been eating or drinking well in recent days, and often sleeps restlessly all night long.
Now... I'm probably very tired and fell asleep, so it's possible that I couldn't hear you for a while!"
"Oh, I see!
If you put it that way... our family can understand it."
Eunuch Xiao Dongzi nodded, glanced at Zhongshun, and continued slowly: "It's just that the emperor ordered us to come and convey the oral order, and we dare not delay for a moment!
You can't let us just stand here and wait...wait for your master to get enough sleep, right?
Could it be that...when your Lordship wakes up, we will issue the imperial edict?
If we are here to stroll around, it would be fine if we wait a little longer.
But now we are here on the orders of the Emperor!
This is inevitable..."
"Don't dare! I understand!
Keep knocking on the door!" Zhongshun was terrified after hearing what Xiaodongzi said.
The knocking on the door intensified!
"My Lord... My Lord... Please excuse my interruption!
It's the eunuch from the palace who's here to deliver the emperor's order. My Lord, please stand up and receive it!"
Leng Xian could avoid others, but he dared not avoid meeting the eunuchs who came from the palace, especially those who came to convey imperial decrees.
Leng Xian couldn't figure out why the emperor sent someone to convey his decree at this time...
Looking at it in a positive way, after all, I am the emperor's future in-law.
Could it be that... the Emperor has learned about the current difficulties faced by the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion... and sent someone to give them money to help!
Thinking of the worst, I missed the morning court twice, the emperor was angry and imposed an additional fine...
Could it be that the emperor couldn't wait until he recovered from his illness to go to court to accept punishment?
This is to send someone...send someone...
Let’s not talk about the salary deduction first…
There are only ten strokes in front and twenty strokes in the back...
Thinking of this, Leng Xian broke out in a cold sweat instantly...
My face isn’t swollen yet, is my butt going to be in trouble too?
How to do?
How to do?
Leng Xian's heart was in a knot...
Then I thought again, it would be no good if I didn't respond!
As the saying goes, blessing comes with luck, but disaster cannot be avoided!
Regardless of whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Eunuch Xiaodongzi to come, I can't hide forever!
Leng Xian covered his wildly beating chest with his hand and calmed himself down.
It can be said that Leng Xian was quick-witted!
Leng Xian hurriedly lay down and pulled the quilt tight...
Then, pretending to be awakened from his sleep, he said vaguely: “Is that Zhongshun outside?
I finally fell asleep, why did you wake me up?"
"My Lord, calm down!
Damn it, little one!
I am here to report to the Marquis that the Emperor has sent a eunuch to convey his decree... He is waiting outside the door now!
My Lord, please stand up and receive the order!"
"what?
what did you say?
fast!
Come in quickly... help me change my clothes!
I cannot accept the decree in a disheveled state!"
There was an air of urgency in Leng Xian's tone, and it sounded like... he really had just come to his senses.
However, the person outside the door is also a thousand-year-old fox...
Leng Xian was about to flip through the pages of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" so the people outside the door could just treat it as an opportunity to read another ghost story for free.
"Sir, please wait for a moment. I will help my master change his clothes and come back to receive your order right away!
Come and receive the order immediately!"
Zhongshun bowed repeatedly to apologize to eunuch Xiaodongzi, then pushed open the door and walked in quickly.
