Chapter 1380
At this time, the sky had already darkened.
Gu Hanyuan glanced at the Imperial Guards secretly tailing him from behind.
His figure flashed and vanished from where he stood.
He did not leave the palace directly.
Instead, he transformed into a wisp of light smoke and drifted toward the depths of the palace.
Gu Hanyuan arrived at the Imperial Kitchen.
He soon found his target.
An old eunuch was gripping the wrist of a youth dressed in eunuch attire.
He said deeply:
"Little Guizi, what did the Empress Dowager want you to do?"
The two were precisely Hai Dafu and Wei Xiaobao.
Hai Dafu had a cold temperament, his eyes were already blind, and he would cough a few times from time to time.
However, the strength with which he gripped Wei Xiaobao's wrist was immense.
Causing Wei Xiaobao to cry out in pain repeatedly:
"It's broken! It's broken! Eunuch Hai, let go first!"
Wei Xiaobao's appearance was actually not bad.
But having mingled in the marketplace for many years, he carried an air of roguishness.
Making him appear inevitably somewhat sleazy.
While he was shouting in pain.
His eyes were flashing with cunning and clever brilliance.
Clearly, shouting in pain was just an exaggeration.
Hai Dafu actually did let go.
After coughing a few times, he said:
"Now you can speak."
Wei Xiaobao said helplessly:
"The Empress Dowager wanted me to find some Four or Chapter sutras for her in the Imperial Study. Then she rewarded me with some candied fruit to eat."
"The 'Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters'?"
"Yes, that's the name."
Hai Dafu asked in a deep voice:
"Did you give the sutra to her?"
Wei Xiaobao rolled his eyes helplessly and said:
"Could I possibly defy her order?"
Hai Dafu coughed violently a few more times.
Looking like someone whose days were numbered.
His voice was indeed a few degrees weaker.
"Then did the Empress Dowager say when she would call you over again?"
Wei Xiaobao said perfunctorily:
"She didn't say. Every time, it's Sister Ruichu who calls me."
Just then, a palace maid walked over.
