The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader
Chapter 15: The Little Eunuch Rebellion
Ever since Fu Qian left, Chu Wan Ning has devoted all her attention to studying. Although she is not as skilled in martial arts as Fu Qian, she is agile enough to protect herself.
With the foundation of nine-year compulsory education and three years of practice in college entrance examination simulations, Chu Wanning had no pressure at all in learning cultural knowledge and always ranked first.
Xiaoyu loves to play and eat. After school, he always hangs out with Chu Wanjun. When there is a temple fair, they even sneak out of the palace to eat delicious food at the temple fair. They don’t focus on studying at all!
But Xiaoyu always passed the exams like a cheat! The main purpose is to not rank high, but never fail.
Sometimes Chu Wan Ning also thought it was outrageous. He didn't even turn the page in the book, he slept in class, and yet he didn't fall behind in the exams. Sometimes Chu Wan Ning even joked:
"Maybe the gods have blessed you, and the wish you made during the meteor shower has come true! Could it be that you are possessed by the big koi fish that always passes every exam?"
Xiaoyu laughed out loud.
In the harem, although Concubine Xi Hui and Concubine Qiu fought overtly and covertly for the vacant position of queen, the emperor never showed any favoritism, and the position of queen was always reserved for the mother of Chu Wan Ning and Chu Wan Jun. Whenever Concubine Xi Hui and Concubine Qiu couldn't help but want to mention this matter in front of the emperor, the emperor would just leave and go to the study to read the memorials. After several attempts, the two gave up, knowing that Chu Wan Ning's mother was irreplaceable to the emperor. She was the only queen.
At first, Concubine Xi Hui would suppress Chu Wan Ning from time to time, and would do something every few days to deduct Chu Wan Ning's expenses.
Once, when the palace servants went to get charcoal for burning in winter, Concubine Xi Hui deliberately went around Chu Wan Ning's residence and ran into Chu Wan Ning. Then she said to Chu Wan Ning in a sarcastic tone:
"I am at least half your mother. Now that I am old and cold, I need more charcoal to keep warm. Your Highness, why don't you show some filial piety and let your mother have a good winter."
He covered his mouth and laughed as he spoke, his eyes full of teasing and mockery.
Chu Wan Ning was speechless for a while, lying on the recliner and said boredly:
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless. If we compare who is the most shameless, Concubine Xi Hui will definitely be on the list. Concubine Xi Hui, please go back. I know you have a cold body, and I will definitely let you have a warm winter."
Chu Wan Ning sat up and flicked the non-existent dust off her hem, looking nonchalant.
"Please come in!" Chu Wan Ning glanced at her and ordered her to leave.
Concubine Xi Hui was speechless and angrily threw her sleeves. Immediately, an old eunuch with a greasy face came forward and held her hand, saying in a sharp and thin voice:
"Don't be angry, madam. It's not good to hurt yourself. Your servant says that you are still young! You still have to give birth to children for the emperor! Your majesty is destined to have many children. Give birth to a little prince in time! The emperor will love you even more. What will the princess do when she gets married in the future? The siblings don't have their mother to protect them, so our Highness Wansong must be stronger, don't you think?"
The old eunuch was slick-tongued, and his words showed contempt for Chu Wanning and praised Concubine Xi Hui. Chu Wanning glanced at the old eunuch. The wrinkles on his face could kill a fly, but his teeth were very white, his lips were particularly red, and his cheekbones were as rosy as a woman's with powder on. At first glance, he looked like a little devil! His mouth really spoke, and he accurately grasped Concubine Xi Hui's psychology.
When Concubine Xi Hui heard what he said, she immediately smiled. Her previous anger disappeared as if she was already pregnant. She twisted her slender waist and walked away with the eunuch.
This situation made Chu Wan Ning feel a little weird, and she had a hunch that there was something wrong with this old eunuch.
Afterwards, she investigated the eunuch's origins. It turned out that his name was Chenpi, and he was 20 years older than the emperor's father. When he was in his prime, he was the chief eunuch beside the emperor. Because of his rich experience and smooth personality, he did a lot of things for the emperor openly and secretly. When he was in power, even the ministers in the court were polite to him. This guy trained many apprentices. The young eunuchs regarded him as the old lady among the eunuchs, and all the delicious and fun things were offered to him first. Later, when he was old, the palace replaced him with a young chief eunuch. The emperor remembered his merits and had no children, so he made an exception and kept him in the palace for retirement.
Later, for some unknown reason, Concubine Huifei and the emperor wanted this old eunuch to stay with her, under the pretext that the old eunuch could make her happy and entertain her.
It was not until later that something happened that allowed Chu Wan Ning and Xiao Yu to catch the old eunuch.
The courtyard where the eunuchs lived was the most remote part of the palace. Weeds grew on the tops of the walls, and the red wall paint was peeling off, leaving red and white spots.
That day, Chu Wan Ning and Xiao Yu were squatting near the old eunuch's residence to monitor. In broad daylight, several eunuchs carried out a young palace maid with bandages on her wrists, wounds all over her body, and disheveled clothes. They walked to the water tank prepared for fire prevention in the palace and pressed the maid's head into the water. The maid couldn't breathe and began to struggle. Xiao Yu was so anxious that she wanted to jump out to stop them, but Chu Wan Ning held her shoulders and signaled her not to speak.
It turned out that the eunuchs threw the maid to the ground when they saw her wake up, and threatened:
"The master used your blood to show respect for you. Don't be so ungrateful and seek death. Go back. Don't tell anyone else about this. If we find out that you are causing trouble for the master, we will kill you and your family first. And we will immediately arrange for your sister to enter the palace as a maid. Do you hear me?"
As these eunuchs who relied on their power scolded her, the maid on the ground got up and knelt down, trembling with fear, her hair was wet and messy and stuck to her forehead. She kept kowtowed and begged for mercy, her head was broken but she kept kowtowed, blood was stained on the ground, she was extremely humble. Before leaving, she was kicked to the ground by a thin eunuch again.
The eunuchs walked away, swearing and laughing.
The little palace maid lay on the ground like a withered flower. If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, Chu Wan Ning would have thought she had been tortured to death.
Xiaoyu was already on the verge of a rage. If Chu Wan Ning hadn't held her back, she would have jumped out and beaten up those eunuchs. But she couldn't alert the enemy now. If she was discovered, they would definitely get rid of the evidence. How could she redress the injustice for the palace maids and punish these lawless eunuchs?
After they were away from everyone, Chu Wan Ning and Xiao Yu went forward to check on the little palace maid's injuries and found that she had fainted. So Chu Wan Ning and Xiao Yu helped her back to the Princess' Palace and treated her injuries.
The next day, the little palace maid woke up slowly, and found herself in a palace she had never seen before. The palace was very simple and elegant, but she was terrified and didn't know where she was. She rolled off the bed in panic and struggled to get out.
The noise in the room startled Chu Wan Ning and Xiao Yu, who were cooking porridge. It was not good to let others know about the little palace maid's situation, as it was inevitable that someone would gossip and leak the news, so when Chu Wan Ning came back yesterday, she covered the palace maid's body with a bed sheet and sent all the people in the palace out before helping the palace maid to the bed in the side hall.
When they heard the sound, they immediately dropped the pot and ignored it.
The young palace maid did not recognize Chu Wan Ning. She had just entered the palace not long ago and her master had not yet fully recognized her, but she had already suffered such abuse.
Chu Wan Ning explained to her, I am the eldest princess Chu Wan Ning, and this is Princess Ping Yu, you don’t have to be afraid, we saved you, we will not hurt you.
"Your Highness... Princess... Why did you save me... It would be better if I could just die like that... and escape from the sea of suffering..." The little maid said desperately as she knelt in front of Chu Wan Ning. Two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
"Don't say that. We saved you to investigate the old eunuch. As long as you serve as a witness, we can expose his disguise." Xiaoyu squatted in front of her, holding her shoulders and said.
