Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

If this is the recipe of mother-to-child exchange, it would be very meaningless. A child whose gender is unknown and without the protection of his mother can bring far less benefits than a well-trained Guarjia Gege.

Therefore, Lord Guaerjia did not investigate further. It was not worth it to fall out with Concubine Liang and the Eighth Prince for a useless recipe, especially since Concubine Liang and her son were protected by Concubine Hui, and the eldest prince also needed a brother to help. Concubine Hui chose the Eighth Prince who had the least power.

Li Jingui guessed, "So in order to get pregnant as soon as possible, Concubine Liang used a better prescription?"

Guaerjia said with a smile, "How can there be such a good prescription? You can get pregnant by taking the medicine, and it will not harm either the mother or the baby. That's not a prescription, it's an elixir." If there is such a good prescription, why would the most powerful people still worry about having children?

"Then how did Concubine Liang give birth to the Eighth Prince smoothly and safely?" Li Jingui was already immersed in Concubine Liang's story, and she asked in confusion.

"Liang Fei was so lucky that she gave birth to the child naturally. She was also very careful during her pregnancy. Plus, Hui Fei protected her, so how could her delivery not go smoothly?" Guaerjia revealed the answer.

"Empress Liang didn't use the prescription at all!" Li Jingui murmured in despair.

Then, the prescription was passed on to the Eighth Prince by Concubine Liang, and the Eighth Prince used it on Li Jingui.

Li Jingui was in a state of dismay, not knowing what all the suffering and price he had paid these days were for.

Guaerjia lightly delivered the final blow, "It is said that Concubine Liang was born in Xinzheku. You know that their family was not naturalized because of a crime. Her father was the leader of Xinzheku."

So, there are not so many Cinderellas. Speaking of status, Concubine Liang is actually the same as Concubine Hui and Concubine De. They are all bondservants. Who is lower-class than the other?

Guaerjia felt that she had answered Li Jingui's request and kicked Li Jingui. "Okay, I've told you what you want to know. From now on, just be my slave. Now go to the door to get today's dinner."

Li Jingui stood up numbly and floated towards the door like a wandering soul.

The eunuch who was waiting outside the door said impatiently when he saw Li Jingui, "Remember the time next time. The kitchen is very busy. How can we have so much time to wait for you?"

Li Jingui just mechanically took the food box, did not answer the eunuch at all, turned around and went back to the house.

As a young eunuch distributing food boxes, he had never been treated so coldly. Everyone who saw him would call him "Eunuch" respectfully. Today, he saw it. The young eunuch spat angrily. What? If the Guaerjia master outside the mansion hadn't arranged it, how could he expect to have hot meals?

The guard guarding the far gate was an old acquaintance of the young eunuch, and he consoled her by saying, "That girl was just thrown in today, and she still can't accept the reality. Why are you so angry with her?"

Li Jingui was relatively honest. When Guarjia Shi didn't realize the reality at the beginning, she was really noisy! In comparison, Li Jingui just kept silent.

The young eunuch also realized that this was a place where people were allowed to enter but not leave. The maid dressed up just now must be there to serve the master who was going to Jinxuan. She would suffer. He was a great man who did not bear grudges and did not bother with a poor creature.

To the guard who reminded him, the young eunuch said in a friendly manner, "Thank you for your reminder, sir. I will bring you an extra meat dish tomorrow."

The work of guarding Jinxuan is boring, and it is also beneficial for the guards themselves to have a good relationship with the young eunuchs in the kitchen. "Thank you very much, young eunuch."

Li Jingui inside came into the house quietly with a food box and prepared the meal for Guaerjia.

Guaerjia sat down without hesitation, and as before, she signaled Li Jingui with her eyes to pick up some food for her. She ate the meal with satisfaction, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said generously, "The rest is yours as a reward."

Lord Guarjia was indeed very kind to his daughter. With the tacit approval of the Fourth Prince, he arranged for many people to ensure his daughter's food, clothing, housing and transportation. It was nothing compared to her previous life of luxury, but at least she had edible food and comfortable clothes.

However, the Fourth Prince deliberately did not allow anyone to follow him into Jinxuan to serve Guaerjia. She had to do everything by herself. After Li Jingui finally came in, Guaerjia resisted the urge to torture Li Jingui and trained her to be a maid to serve her.

Guaerjia had been keeping in shape for so many years, so she didn't eat much at every meal. The remaining dishes were also very substantial, at least they were the delicacies that Li Jingui had never tasted. Even if she was down and out, she was still many times richer than the lowest-ranking palace maids.

As she ate mouthfuls of food, Li Jingui's panic gradually dissipated. Perhaps this was not a bad thing. Even if Guaerjia was difficult to serve, as long as she could eat meals like today, she would not be afraid of death.

After all, as long as Guaerjia still wanted to live a life with someone to serve her, she would not kill herself.

Yes, after eating, Li Jingui's cleverness came back. She found that besides herself who had come recently, only Guaerjia went to Jinxuan, but it didn't seem like the eunuch was here for the first time. Guaerjia didn't eat much, but she also needed to eat. If she didn't want to starve to death, she could only deal with the eunuch by herself.

For a proud person like Guaerjia, this was more painful than death. With Li Jingui, at least Guaerjia could maintain her dignity and no longer have to talk to those people she considered lowly.

This also made Li Jingui feel at ease. At least she was still useful. It was better to live a miserable life than to die. Who wants to die when they can live? Even if Li Jingui knew that she would not live long, she still wanted to live and live well.

Peace was restored in Jinxuan, but there was deathly silence in Qianqing Palace.

"You said that the fourth brother took the maid away from Concubine De?" Kangxi frowned.

"Yes, it is said that Prince Yong took a fancy to her and took her away." But everyone knew that this was just an excuse.

"Did the fourth brother have a conflict with the eighth brother?" Kangxi asked another question.

"No, Prince Yong just took the maid back home and did not cause any trouble for the Eighth Prince."

This is strange. It is impossible that the Fourth Prince could not have figured out that it was the Eighth Prince who did it, so why did he choose to keep quiet?

Kangxi put aside this question and asked about the drowned eunuch, "What about the eunuch next to the Dragon King Temple?"

The Dragon King Temple was originally built to quell floods, and tributes were offered during festivals and holidays. Kangxi also held sacrifices every year. However, a corpse appeared in the water right next to the temple.

Although Kangxi did not believe in ghosts and gods, the general environment was like this. The place where the little eunuch died was too delicate. Everyone felt it was unlucky and might even anger the Dragon King.
