Chapter 243: Eunuch Jinzhong's Heart
In fact, Ling Yunche didn't have to be so miserable, but who made Jinzhong follow him?
Ever since the last incident of lame leg, Jinzhong has been staying beside the emperor, behaving himself well and not daring to show any bias towards Yiku Palace and Yongshou Palace.
Let's not talk about Yongshou Palace. Lingzhu was worried about the Empress and had to watch it in person. She had just been promoted to Imperial Concubine and was very popular. At that time, everyone was paying attention to her, so it was impossible for him to sneak into Yongshou Palace again.
He couldn't go, he could only listen to the news. He also had to follow the emperor to the Yikun Palace every now and then. Seeing Concubine Xian's smugness, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.
Fortunately, the Emperor didn't come so often and didn't raise Concubine Xian's rank, otherwise, he would have been so angry that he would have done something.
Let Lingzhuer suffer so much, but he was treated so lightly, and let Concubine Xian jump around like that. Just thinking about it, he would grind his teeth and couldn't sleep at night.
But, if he can’t touch Concubine Xian, can’t he touch Concubine Xian’s precious egg?
Jinzhong followed Ling Yunche into the back kitchen. When he saw Rong Pei's surprised look and the copper pot of mutton soup still simmering on the small stove, he knew that this pot of soup was what Concubine Xian was preparing for Lian Yunlai to deal with her.
It's no wonder that Lian Yun and San Bao, together with all the servants in the Yikun Palace, isolated the master Xianpin and her two lackeys, Rong Pei and Ling Yunche. It would be abnormal if they were not retaliated against.
Rong Pei obviously wanted to give Ling Yunche some water, and quickly picked up the spoon to scoop out the soup, but was stopped by Jinzhong.
Next, Ling Yunche limped over with great difficulty carrying the mutton soup.
Jinzhong stared at Ling Yunche: "Little Lingzi, remember what I told you on the way, don't hurt the emperor and the empress." Otherwise, your nine clans will go down there to reunite with you and ask you what you have been doing during the days you were missing.
Ling Yunche was sweating all over from the pain, but he dared not say a word. He gritted his teeth and put the soup pot away carefully, fearing that it would spill and scald Ruyi who was nearest to him. He was even more afraid of being controlled by the Emperor again.
Fortunately, the copper pot was placed steadily on the table.
He was trembling all over, and he withdrew his hand and was about to leave.
Ruyi suddenly exclaimed, "Ling Yunche, your hand!"
For a moment, Ling Yunche wanted to tell Ruyi to shut up. He knelt down and said, "Master Xian! I would like to ask to leave!"
Ruyi was surprised by his smooth kneeling posture and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him up.
Hongli said impatiently: "Ruyi, I am still sitting here, shouldn't you also avoid suspicion?"
Ruyi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to explain to you to prove that I am innocent with Ling Yunche. I also don't know how you can believe me. He is already a eunuch. How can he have anything to do with me?"
Hongli said coldly: "Princess Xian, I don't care whether you are pretending to be ignorant or making up excuses. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, I will give you to Xiao Lingzi as his wife."
Ruyi was stunned: "Your Majesty?!"
She held her belly in disbelief: "Do you know what you are saying? You actually said such things to your wife!!!"
Hongli sneered: "First of all, you are not my wife, but my concubine. Secondly, I certainly know what I am talking about, but you never know what you are doing."
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, Miss Chunchan from Yongshou Palace is here to ask you to go. She said that the imperial concubine is feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach. Please go over and take a look."
Hongli stood up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and threw it on the table: "Eat, after this meal, you should eat vegetarian food from now on. Don't you like to hide in the tent and eat sour apricots secretly?
I just hoped that you could behave yourself and not behave in a dissolute manner. You don’t have to be sneaky in the future. I will have someone send you a month’s supply. When you finish it, let your grumpy nanny go to the imperial kitchen to get it.”
After that, he turned and left.
Ruyi held her belly and ran after him: "Your Majesty, did Wei Yanwan say something? Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"
But Hongli was fed up with her increasingly frequent bickering and acting, and left quickly without looking back.
What a shame.
He is an emperor, but he has to personally come out and slap Ruyi in the face.
Can't Ruyi just take care of her baby quietly and not cause trouble for others?
He walked briskly. Ruyi held her belly, which was not even noticeable, and stood there in a daze, leaning against the door frame, like a husband-waiting stone that was about to break.
Lianyun and Sanbao went to see the emperor back, and there was sinister malice in their eyes.
The two of them walked quickly into the house, gathered all the food on the table, put it on a large plate and took it away.
The more Lian Yun looked at the copper pot of mutton soup, the angrier he became. He simply pulled the cloth on the table and spilled it all over the room.
The greasy smell of sheep spread in the room. Although Ruyi was standing at the door, she was still shocked and vomited continuously.
Ling Yunche subconsciously wanted to help her, but then he remembered the emperor's words about marrying her to him, and he suddenly froze in place, not daring to move.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lian Yun and San Bao taking the food and trying to leave, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop them: "What are you doing?! This is the reward given to Master Xian by the Emperor!"
San Bao kicked his lame leg and said, "Didn't you see that the master has vomited? He must be unable to eat this meal!"
Lian Yun also laughed: "I see that the master only likes to eat rich mutton soup. Master, please don't be petty and want to be angry with me. Look at my loyalty. I made your whole house smell like mutton so that you can smell it in your dreams even if you can't eat mutton in the next few months!"
After saying that, he left with Sanbao and invited other palace maids and eunuchs to enjoy this last delicious meal together.
Ruyi was so angry that she was shaking all over: "How dare you! You really are so daredevil! Ugh..."
Ling Yunche hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but got up from the ground, walked forward, and was about to offer condolences when he was suddenly vomited all over.
When Rong Pei hurried over from the kitchen, Ruyi and Ling Yunche had both fainted at the door. She was so anxious that she screamed and went to find the imperial physician.
On the third night, Yan Wan heard the details of the excitement in Yikun Palace. She laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, and praised Jinzhong repeatedly: "It has to be you. I know that as long as you can take action, you can definitely vent my anger."
Jinzhong looked at her greedily, with a gentle and humble smile on his face, but his dark fox eyes were filled with deep and endless affection.
He half-knelt on the foot of the bed, one arm resting on the edge of the bed, and with one hand he restrainedly touched the corner of Yanwan's clothes. He lowered his eyes to look at the delicate and noble embroidery on her hem for a while, then raised his eyes and smiled softly, his warm voice soft and gentle:
"There are many more fun things to do in Yikun Palace. The night is long. My Lord, why don't you lie down and listen to me tell you everything in detail?"
