Chapter 47 I have a way
Zhao Bao remembered that Liang Jin had reminded him that every warrior hoped that his secret book was unique in the world.

Only by using martial arts that others know nothing about can you gain the upper hand in a duel.

Liang Jin also said that we should be careful that Li Dafu might harm Zhao Bao in order to maintain the uniqueness of "Bone-Dissolving Palm".

Zhao Bao didn't take it too seriously at the time.

Because before he presented the treasure to his godfather, he had been careful and specially selected Li Dafu, who had the best reputation in the palace and was recognized as a great philanthropist.

Now, with Cao Xian's reminder and Liang Jin's explanation, Zhao Bao woke up instantly.

Zhao Bao was also a smart person and quickly figured out the key.

That's right!

Li Dafu, considering his good reputation for decades, will not take action against himself personally.

But he has great power and can ask his lackeys to do things for him at any time.

For example, in the harsh training of Zongwu Mansion, death is a common occurrence.

As the head coach in charge of training, Cao Xian naturally knew some of the hidden secrets, so he kindly mentioned it.

If it's true...

Zhao Bao didn't dare to think about it any further.

He was so frightened that his pale lips trembled as he spoke:

"Brother Jin...I...I..."

"I'm afraid... there's no way out!"

Zhao Bao was just a ninth-rank warrior and a lowly eunuch at the lowest level of the Zongwu Mansion.

Li Dafu was in a high position and had great power, and his martial arts skills were terrifyingly high. If he wanted to kill Zhao Bao, it would be easier than crushing an ant.

Even if Zhao Bao struggled and resisted, it would be in vain.

He had no ability to deal with Li Dafu's evil intentions.

There is only despair and fear.

At this moment, Zhao Bao felt cold all over, as if he was back to the night when he wanted to commit suicide.

This made him sad and he couldn't help crying:

"It turns out... all my efforts are so ridiculous..."

"Brother Jin, what's the point of a lowly character like me who can be stepped on by anyone living in this world?"

Zhao Baoyuan thought that as long as he was willing to endure hardships, he would become a superior person sooner or later.

He practiced martial arts hard, trained diligently, and tried his best to please his superiors.

He had already made progress, becoming a warrior and entering the Zongwu Mansion.

But now he suddenly realized that all his efforts were in vain.

Just like the livestock raised by those in power, their fate is always controlled by others.

When he realized that his life was in danger, he couldn't even escape, let alone resist.

This despair caused Zhao Bao to collapse emotionally again.

Liang Jin held Zhao Bao's shoulders and said in a deep voice:
"Don't spend your days crying. I believe there is always a way out."

"Since Cao Xian has a good impression of you, he might be able to protect you."

Liang Jin has no way to directly help Zhao Bao now.

Not to mention that he was just an ordinary soldier, even if he was promoted eight levels in the imperial guards, he could not interfere in the affairs of the Zongwu Mansion.

All he could do was to give Zhao Bao some advice.

Since Cao Xian could call Li Dafu by his name, he would certainly not be afraid of Li Dafu's power.

Zhao Bao's mind was already filled with despair. He shook his head sadly:

"Li Dafu is a powerful figure. Cao Xian won't protect me just for a good impression."

"It would be useless even if I broke my promise again and gave Cao Xian the secret manual of the Bone-Dissolving Palm."

"If Cao Xian accepts the secret manual, he will completely offend Li Dafu. And Li Dafu will have even more reason to harm me directly."

"No matter what, I will die."

Liang Jin believed that he could find a way out for Zhao Bao.

He pondered:

"Everyone has desires and needs, and Cao Xian is no exception."

"Zhao Bao, think carefully, what is Cao Xian lacking the most right now?"

Seeing that Liang Jin still refused to give up on him, Zhao Bao could only recall the past.

He thought:
"Cao Xian is always injured and suffers from relapses, which is extremely painful. He should be healthy."

"Besides, he's old. Judging from his condition, he probably won't live more than two years. Longevity is probably what he wants."

Having said that, Zhao Bao shook his head sadly.

He could not give Cao Xian either health or longevity.

With Cao Xian's status, he could find better doctors and better medicine.

But he remained like this, obviously at his wit's end.

Liang Jin had an idea:
"Maybe I have a way."

Zhao Bao was slightly surprised and was about to ask again.

At this time.

A clear female voice rang out:

"Brother Jin!"

"Brother Bao is here too!" The two turned their heads and saw a graceful figure slowly walking towards them.

It was Su Lian.

When Liang Jin saw Su Lian's energetic expression, he knew that she was doing well recently.

"Do you know? I'm very famous in our laundry department now!"

"Even Hu Shangyi praised me yesterday!"

"Now, no one in the laundry department dares to bully me."

Su Lian said excitedly as she approached.

When they heard that Su Lian was doing well, they were happy for her.

What surprised the two was that Hu Shangyi had a high status among the female officials and was even more famous in the harem. How could she praise a lowly palace maid like Su Lian?

Zhao Bao asked directly:

"Xiao Lian, what's going on with Hu Shangyi?"

Seeing the two people's curiosity, Su Lian said proudly:

"What's wrong? Are you curious?"

"To be honest, even I find it incredible."

Immediately, she told the two of them everything that happened yesterday.

The two of them sighed after hearing this. The hierarchy in the palace was very strict, which led to conflicts everywhere.

Even in a small laundry department, even if Su Lian did not provoke others, there were always people who wanted to plot against her.

It really proves the saying: The smaller the temple, the stronger the evil spirits; the shallower the pond, the more turtles there are.

At the end, Su Lian looked at Liang Jin embarrassedly:

"Brother Jin, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again this time."

"If it was someone else, I could still refuse."

"But this time it was Hu Shangyi who hinted at it, and my aunt gave me so many instructions, I really can't refuse."

Liang Jin didn't mind this.

In the past, Zhao Bao and Su Lian had also tried their best to help Liang Jin.

Liang Jin is now more capable and will naturally help them.

Liang Jin immediately said:

"Xiao Lian, I can't do it completely for you this time."

"You have to write a letter yourself and ask someone in the palace to take it to Lujiazhuang in Juniu Township and give it to someone named Lu Qiannan, saying that she is your distant cousin."

"Everything has to go through your hands."

In the past, Liang Jin could help Su Lian deal with everything, but that was because he was only helping a small female official in the laundry department.

But this time, the person to be helped is a female official of very high status, who has great power outside the palace.

Liang Jin didn't want the attention to be drawn to himself.

"As long as you believe it, the problem can be solved."

"But what I'm worried about is that if Hu Shangyi really recommends you to go to some important place, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for you."

"It's okay to do her a small favor, but it's best to refuse her recommendation."

Liang Jin said seriously.

Su Lian is a simple person and won't make any big mistakes in the laundry department.

But if he really went to other places in the palace, such as the Shangyi Bureau headed by Hu Shangyi, it would be hard to say.

If you make a mistake, you will inevitably be severely punished.

If you make a big mistake, you might lose your head!

In Liang Jin's previous life, there was an emperor who relied on his power to treat the palace maids as no one else but human beings. He was cruel and tyrannical to them. It was said that he had beaten more than 200 palace maids to death.

Eventually, the palace maids could no longer bear it and decided to drag the emperor to hell with them even if it meant death, which led to the Renyin Palace Incident.

There are also historical records that have not yet been verified, which show that another tyrannical emperor massacred as many as 2,800 palace maids at one time.

Countless palace maids died due to reasons such as burial alive, palace fighting, and abuse.

However, the fate of the palace maids was completely controlled by the imperial power. They were like livestock and were abused by the royal family. After death, they had no place to be buried.

And now.

The emperor of the Daqian Dynasty became even more incompetent and the fighting in the palace became more intense.

If Su Lian went to a place she shouldn't go, it would probably bring disaster upon herself.

Su Lian was surprised and said:
"Brother Jin, why do you say the same thing as Auntie?"

"My aunt also said that I am not suitable for climbing up there, and that I am only suitable for staying in the laundry department."

"Since you all say so, I will listen to you."

Su Lian had no ambition to advance, so she didn't care whether she could get promoted or not.

Zhao Bao also added:

"I have the same idea as Brother Jin!"

Zhao Bao's environment was more dangerous than Su Lian's, and he had witnessed more tragedies and human suffering in the palace.

So he strongly agreed with Liang Jin's words.

Su Lian said helplessly:
"Okay, okay! I'll listen to you three!"
