Seeing that Xiao Gui Zi did not talk to her, Duan Yunfei felt even more bored.
However, with Xiao Gui Zi's personality, he was indeed suitable to serve Yuwen Di. Serving in front of Yuwen Di was a taboo to him, but Duan Yunfei was different.
Since Xiao Gui Zi did not speak with Duan Yunfei, Duan Yunfei would not bring ridicule upon herself. If Xiao Gui Zi agreed with her when she said "The moon is really round tonight", maybe Duan Yunfei could try to start a conversation. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring to walk all the way to Yuwen Di's chamber?
However, Xiao Gui Zi was naturally unaware of Duan Yunfei's mental state. Eunuch Li had always taught Xiao Gui to be more careful in the palace, otherwise, if he was careless, he would lose his life.
Xiao Gui had always taken the Eunuch Li's teachings to heart. After all, Xiao Gui had entered the palace for the sake of being able to rise to prominence. He might not be able to do this even after spending his entire life outside the palace, but he had decided to give it his all in the palace.
Although the journey had been boring, Duan Yunfei and Xiao Guizi quickly arrived at Yuwen Di's hall.
By the time Duan Yunfei arrived, she had already finished eating dinner. The reason why she did not wait for Duan Yunfei was because when the dinner was served in the imperial kitchen, Yuwen Di had asked the imperial kitchen if Duan Yunfei had eaten dinner already.
had forgotten the time today to settle the government affairs, so logically speaking, the time for dinner should have already passed.
Only when the servants in the royal kitchen reported that Duan Yunfei had already eaten did Yuwen Di relax.
Actually, Yuwen Di felt that Duan Yunfei had been a little strange these past few days. However, Yuwen Di was also unable to say what was wrong with Duan Yunfei, and he did not think much of it.
Yuwen Di thought that there must be a problem with Duan Yunfei's emaciated body. She had wanted to send someone to investigate this matter, but she felt that Duan Yunfei would be unhappy about this, so she decided to let it go. always had too many exceptions.
At this time, Yuwen Di was sitting on the reclining chair, drinking tea, thinking why Xiao Gui Zi had not brought Duan Yunfei here yet, it had obviously been so long.
Red Luan Palace was waiting anxiously at the side. Red Luan Palace was only a short distance from the imperial study, he should have crawled back by now. Why did Xiao Gui not bring Duan Yunfei over after such a long time?
Just when Eunuch Li was thinking about secretly sending another person to invite Duan Yunfei in, he saw Duan Yunfei walk in with Xiao Gui behind him.
Yuwen Di had been busy with government affairs these past few days, and did not see Duan Yunfei at all. Seeing that Duan Yunfei's complexion was not bad, and seemed to be a little better off, he finally calmed down.
However, when he thought about how slow Duan Yunfei was, Yuwen Di wanted to scold Xiao Gui. Yuwen Di had initially thought that Xiao Gui was someone who knew how to handle matters, but who would have thought that even this little matter would not work out well?
"What happened to you? We sent you to invite the Thirteenth Princess but you actually went there for so long?" Yuwen Di said angrily to Xiao Gui Zi, this action scared Xiao Gui so much that he immediately kneeled down.
Xiao Gui kept kowtowing to Yuwen Di, saying, "Please bypass this servant. It's all due to this servant's incompetence."
Yuwen Di didn't know what was going on, but Duan Yunfei was someone who knew the person, so she naturally could not sit by and watch Xiao Gui receive her punishment for no reason.
"Father, you can't blame me for this. It's all my fault for taking so long to sort things out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so long for me.
Since Duan Yunfei had already pleaded for Xiao Gui, then Yuwen Di would naturally not pursue Xiao Gui's fault anymore. "Forget it, you can get up first. You all go out, I have something to say to the Thirteenth Princess. "
Xiao Gui heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought that after entering the palace for so long, he would be heading for the underworld.
But unexpectedly, in the next second, because of Duan Yunfei's words, Yuwen Di let him go. From this, it could be seen that Duan Yunfei's position in Yuwen Di's heart was indeed extraordinary.
This gave Xiao Gui the idea of going to work for Duan Yunfei. That way, it might be even more profitable than serving Yuwen Di right in front of him.
"Thank you, your majesty. Thank you, Thirteenth Princess." Xiao Gui could be considered to have escaped from death. After thanking Yuwen Di and Duan Yunfei, he followed the Eunuch Li and left, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
After exiting Yuwen Di's hall, the Eunuch Li couldn't help but ask Xiao Gui what was going on. Duan Yunfei never cared too much about her outer appearance. would never believe that Duan Yunfei had tidied up too long and came here too late.
It was just that, because Duan Yunfei begged for mercy, Yuwen Di did not pursue the matter.
Xiao Gui could only tell Eunuch Li the whole story. He even told everything that Xiao Ya told Eunuch Li about how Xiao Ya, Yuan Wan, sneaked around the entrance of the Red Luan Palace without missing a word. It sounded extremely lifelike to Eunuch Li, as if there really was such a scene in front of them.
"Tell me about you. You can't even do something this small." Since you are already at the Red Luan Palace's gate, why don't you go in? You have been waiting at the door and you are a stranger. Even if I saw you now, I would probably think that you were up to no good. Xiao Ya has not wronged you. "
The Eunuch Li was clearly his master, but he did not care about his own safety. If it were not for the fact that he met Duan Yunfei today, and if it were any of the other concubines or princesses in the palace, he would not have had such an easy time today.
However, why did the Eunuch Li still speak up for Xiao Ya, causing Xiao Gui to feel slightly disheartened. Could he really be a chess piece in the hands of the Eunuch Li?
Although Xiao Gui was very unhappy, he still admitted his mistake humbly and swore in his heart that he would never make such a mistake again. He would never let anyone catch him again.
"I'm sorry, Master. I didn't do it well. I won't do it again."
The reason why Eunuch Li was so strict was only so Xiao Gui could remember his mistakes this time. Fortunately, Duan Yunfei had spoken up for him tonight, otherwise, Yuwen Di, who was not in a good mood today, would definitely punish Xiao Gui severely for this matter.
Good medicine is good for the sick, and good advice is bad for the living.
Eunuch Li only hoped that Xiao Gui Zi could understand this logic on his own. After all, he had no way of protecting him for his entire life.
