Seeing Eunuch Yao breathing heavily, Fan Xian sighed, ”Why summon me nohile I am on my way to pick up Mrs Fan?”
Eunuch Yao was astonished at his indifference, since he never knew anybody who didn't respond seriously and actively to a suood relationshi+p with the Fan Manor, instead of scolding, Eunuch Yao only urged hio I fear he would be quite unhappy if you were late o,” said Fan Xian unpleasantly Unwilling to see the old eunuch stand in the cold snow, Fan Xian asked Eunuch Yao to sit in the carriage with hied someone to notify his wife about this
”Be honest, Yao What happened?” Leaning backwards with his eyes partly closed, Fan Xian asked without even turning his head to the eunuch, since he knew these eunuchs had gotton enough from the Fan Manor

”You cunning oldhis head as he pretended to be angry He paused before saying, ”Give ”
Eunuch Yao pricked up his ears, looked around to make sure there was nobody else near them, and finally said in a low voice: ”What? MyI can”
”What happened to the eunuchs in Xuankong Temple? ” Fan Xian asked with a frown
Eunuch Yao was startled for a bit, then put his pal motion
No reaction was seen on Fan Xian's face, but nobody could tell as on his mind He knew that this was unavoidable An assassin was mixed in with eunuchs, and there was no way for anyone in their presence to get away; there ht even be more people ould die
”What about Dai?”

quite embarrassed in front of the people, and ultimately, His Majesty recommissioned hilanced at Fan Xian But Fan didn't show any sign of expression Eunuch Yao had no idea how many bounties were involved between Fan Xian and Eunuch Dai
”Who would've thought that there'd be an assassinationI think Dai had nothing at all but bad luck in the world He is now stripped of all his positions, even getting the cane and being banished to the treasury Just thinking of how an old man like him does all the hard work on such a cold day” The old eunuch wiped his tears with his sleeve Eunuch Yao and Eunuch Dai cah there were so seen the other fallen, Eunuch Yao couldn't help but grieve for his fellow colleague
”Poor old DaiLet's wait till His Majesty cal his head, Fan Xian asked again, ”Then who is on duty in the Taiji Palace?”
”Hong Zhu” Noticing Fan Xian's confusion, Eunuch Yao explained in a low voice, ”A young eunuch, who started to run between the Taiji Palace and the gate this year, His Majesty likes hiility”
”Even the delivery of imperial decrees?” Fan Xian asked curiously
Eunuch Yao shook his head, saying, ”How could he have the qualification to do this?”
The carriage was ordered to stop by Eunuch Yao as soon as it passed Xinjiekou Deng Ziyue was a bit unhappy about this, since the square in front of palace was quite broad, and it wasn't right for the wounded Coh this broad area in a wheelchair on such a snointer's day
