It wasn't that Xie Chi didn't know how to hide his strength. If he didn't seize every opportunity to rise to prominence in this unfamiliar Northern Song Imperial Palace, what awaited him would only be depravity.

Although Xie E's ascent required him to take a large risk, it was clear that Xie E's luck was still not bad. At least two of the princesses with status in the palace looked up to him, and he received Young Master Mi Youren's praise.

The content of Mi Youren's lecture was nothing more than four books and five classics. Xie E was still a little surprised by Mi Youren's humorous teaching style.

Because in Xie E's understanding, all of the instructors were basically carved out of the same mold.

From the moment Xie E entered the Grass Hall, Xie E officially became the Young Tutor Mi Youren's sole guard, breaking the rules and allowing him to enter the Grass Hall to listen in on the history of the Hall. At the same time, Xie E also became the shared "errand boy" for Princess Chong Guo and Princess Qing Qing.

During the days after class, Mi Youren didn't put on any airs at all. He would often exchange calligraphy and literary knowledge with Xie E, and they had slowly become friends who had forgotten their years.

It was unknown when Mi Youren had frequently mentioned his name.

Zhao Zhen and Zhao Ju liked to come early in the morning and call Xie E to the Grass Hall together. The guards and eunuchs at Taiyi Palace had never seen such a scene before, and they had all treated Xie E like a living Buddha.

Since they had nothing better to do at night, Wang Hai and would bet with Xie E.

Xie E was not easy to gamble with, but at least he had to play along with his comrades. His luck was surprisingly good, and there was a high chance that he would win a lot.

A few of the guards had lost miserably, Xie E was also half borrowing a few taels of silver, his reputation among the guards was getting better and better.

It had been a while since Zhang Xin last visited this place, and he would often mutter about it, but because of his identity, Xie E had no excuse to ask about it.

After about five or six days, Zhang Xin came to find Xie E in the morning.

Zhang Xin's face looked haggard and haggard, but he even seemed to be limping as he walked.

Xie E was curious, "Old Gramps, what happened?"

Zhang Xin sighed, "What bad luck, we met with an unexpected calamity."

< p > "Oh?" "Come, speak slowly,"

Xie E hurriedly helped Zhang Xin to sit on the bed. It was difficult for him to sit down, it seemed as if he was in so much pain that he was breaking out in cold sweat.

Five days ago, she'd lost something in the old empress dowager's Shining Palace, but it had been left behind by the previous emperor's Divine Sect. Even after searching through the entire palace, she'd been unable to find it.

The old empress dowager was very kind and merciful, treating the eunuchs and guards of the palace very well. As long as she could retrieve the remains, she wouldn't pursue the matter.

But it just so happened that Zhao Ji went to the Palace of Shouning to pay his respects to the empress dowager, and just as he happened to see the guards searching the whole world looking for something, Zhao Ji ordered Tong Guan to inquire and find out the truth. Instantly, Long Yan became furious.

It was just some insignificant decoration or silver. The only blame was because Zhao Ji's pen holder, the paperweight lion, and the late emperor's belongings were all stolen. This made Zhao Ji extremely angry, and he entrusted Tong Guan with the task of investigating the entire palace.

Tong Guan had finally found an opportunity. Although Zhang Xin was not a domineering and arrogant person, he was still trusted by the empress dowager, and normal people would still find it embarrassing.

Who was Tong Guan?

When he was in the palace, he covered the sky with his hands, and when he held the position in the Privy Council, he was holding the military power. Who dared not be respectful, how could Tong Guan just let this matter go?

Tong Guan had really taken the matter of the theft seriously, the guards and eunuchs in the Palace of Longevity treated them separately.

On the surface, Tong Guan had changed all of the guards and taken them in individually but he had secretly sent them somewhere else without anyone noticing. As for the remaining eunuchs, they were in trouble.

Tong Guan was used to handling matters at court. He was used to it by now, so he casually found a scapegoat and found some bad deeds from the old days.

This time, the Palace of Xining was at peace. All the eunuchs had been thoroughly investigated, and the result was self-evident.

Almost all of the eunuchs had their tails grabbed by Tong Guan. Although they did not find any remnants of the Divine Sect, a poke at Zhao Ji's list of things caused huge waves.

The ones who were executed would be executed, the ones who were exiled, the ones who were taken captive, and only Zhang Xin, under the protection of the empress dowager, would still be punished thirty times, and could only move about after lying in bed for three days.

After listening to Zhang Xin's narration, Xie Chao knew that this relic had most likely been taken away by Liang Shan's thief.

Zhang Xin was the closest person to Xie E in the palace.

But now that Tong Guan was in the palace with such a huge influence, wanting to take him down was easier said than done.

It had been a few days since Zhang Xin last saw him, and he was finally able to get off the bed to walk around. Thus, he came to Taiyi Palace to complain to Xie E, and originally, he did not expect Xie E to help him vent his anger, only saw Xie E filling her heart with righteous indignation, and felt a warmth in her heart. "Xi Da …"

"Call me Xie E, this bird's name is really not pleasing to the ears."

Xie E had been with the Wang brothers for a long time, and was also stained with the slut from the palace.

Zhang Xin nodded, "Xie E, this name isn't bad. If you have such a heart, it is not in vain that I regard you as one of my own. Tong Guan was arrogant and despotic, someone would take care of him naturally. Don't just look at how he's calling the wind and summoning the rain, you can't even tell who's looking at who's good. "

Hearing Zhang Xin's words, Xie Chi felt that it was true. Tong Tong must have offended many people.

"I heard that you and the two princesses have been very close these past few days?"

When Zhang Xin was in trouble, he was obviously still paying attention to Xie E's situation. Xie E was moved.

"That's right, I'm currently serving with the two princesses in the Grand Academy."

Zhang Xin nodded his head, "The palace is full of ingenuity, it is unavoidable that people will be jealous of you. You have to restrain yourself when the time is right, you can't be too presumptuous …"

Sleepyhead, are you up yet?" This princess has come to dismantle the bed!

Zhao Zhen shouted from outside.
