Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

As the most trusted disciple of the great eunuch Li Fuquan, Eunuch Zheng knew every detail of the capable subordinates of the various powerful people in the capital, but he was at least somewhat familiar with them.

The brothers Chu Ying and Chu Xiong are the two most capable generals of the Crown Prince.

"Stop the car." He ordered, jumped out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Chu Ying and Chu Xiong.

Fang Xingzheng smiled knowingly, got out of the car and followed him.

Eunuch Zheng bowed deeply to Chu Ying and Chu Xiong and said, "Your servant Zheng Youde greets the two adults. I wonder why the two adults are here?"

Fang Xingzheng also stepped forward and said hello.

When Chu Ying and Chu Xiong saw them, they were not surprised at all. They nodded to them and said, "Eunuch Zheng, His Highness is here. Why don't you pay your respects?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome face appeared behind the curtain. Who else could it be but Crown Prince Ye Feng?

Eunuch Zheng was shocked.

Through Li Fuquan's hints and hints, he knew that the crown prince had been in Luzhou recently. But he didn't expect that he would come to Xilin County.

He immediately knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "Your servant Zheng Youde greets Your Highness. I didn't know Your Highness was here, and I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

Ye Feng turned his deep starry eyes towards him, his cold gaze falling on him.

Eunuch Zheng felt that the two gazes were like two swords piercing straight at him. He was so frightened that he dared not even breathe. He lowered his head slightly and did not move.

Just when he could hardly bear the pressure, after a long while, he heard Ye Feng speak: "I remember your master Li Fuquan has been serving the Emperor for more than 40 years, right?"

"Yes... yes." Eunuch Zheng was a little puzzled.

Why are you mentioning your master for no reason?

"You are from Yicheng. Because of your poor family background, you entered the palace at the age of ten. In the palace, you have poured night incense, cleaned toilets, and done the hardest, most tiring and lowest jobs. Over the years, you have served five masters, all of whom were concubines in the harem. It was common for you to be beaten and punished. Until ten years ago, when you were twenty-five years old, you helped Li Fuquan by chance. This caught his eye and he has relied on you since then. Not only did he accept you as his apprentice, but he also transferred you to the emperor's bedroom to serve. If Li Fuquan is the first among the eunuchs, then you are the second."

"I am terrified." Zheng Youde was not a fool. He could hear the sarcasm and indifference in Ye Feng's tone. He was so panicked that his forehead touched the ground. He defended himself, "I am only the emperor's servant."

Ye Feng smiled faintly: "It seems that you are a smart person. Smart people usually live longer. Don't be like your master, who gets more and more confused as he gets older, and actually thinks he can have it all."

Zheng Youde's heart suddenly sank.

He usually had close contacts with Li Fuquan and knew this master quite well. Li Fuquan served Emperor Zheng'an with all his heart and soul. However, in recent years, the fierce competition for the throne made Li Fuquan feel threatened. As Emperor Zheng'an grew older, Li Fuquan began to feel uneasy about his future. In the past, when dynasties changed, the close attendants and favorites of the previous dynasty or the previous emperor would not have a good end because they knew too many secrets.

He wanted to leave a way out for himself.

Although the Crown Prince has the right to inherit the throne, he is still young and sickly, while Prince Chen is young and strong and ambitious. When Emperor Zheng'an was alive, he naturally supported the Crown Prince in many ways and loved him very much, but what if Emperor Zheng'an died before the Crown Prince one day? Even if Emperor Zheng'an can still hold on for a few more years, the Crown Prince has been poisoned and is rumored to not live past the age of 18. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem wise to bet everything on the Crown Prince.

It was for this reason that Li Fuquan secretly began to contact Prince Chen and became an informant for Prince Chen in front of Emperor Zheng'an.

These are all secrets. But there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and Zheng Youde is quite smart, so it is not difficult for him to find these clues about Li Fuquan from the clues.

But he didn't expect that the Crown Prince, who had always been underestimated by Li Fuquan, could actually see through everything.

Just based on this point, Li Fuquan has already lost.

"I would never dare to have any ill will towards Your Highness. I hope Your Highness can understand!" Zheng Youde hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng chuckled, and his clear voice seemed to explode in his ears: "If you hadn't performed well in the Lu family today, do you think you are qualified to kneel here and listen to my teachings?"

In the Lu family? Performing well?

Zheng Youde suddenly understood.

Later, he changed his attitude towards the Lu family, especially Miss Lu, becoming respectful and polite, and even had the intention of making friends with them.

This means that Miss Lu is highly valued by the Crown Prince.

As his mind turned over a thousand times, he immediately knelt down and reported: "The Lu family is kind and righteous, and Miss Lu is intelligent and kind-hearted, and has excellent medical skills. I admire her very much in my heart. Apart from admiration, I have no other thoughts, let alone contempt and neglect."

"You can think like this, which shows that you are a smart person. Don't be like your master, flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, which makes people disappointed."

"Yes, yes. I will follow your instructions."

Night Breeze tapped a few more times before leaving in a carriage.

It was not until the carriage was no longer visible that Fang Xingzheng reminded Zheng Youde to get up, and his confused mind finally cleared up.

When he stood up, his knees felt numb and sore. Zheng Youde then realized that his back was covered in cold sweat, and the cold wind blew, chilling him to the bone.

"Congratulations, Eunuch Zheng." Fang Xingzheng said with a smile.

"What's there to be happy about?" Eunuch Zheng asked doubtfully.

"Eunuch Zheng has won the favor of His Highness. Work hard and His Highness will not treat you unfairly." Fang Xingzheng laughed and turned to walk towards the carriage.

The expression on Zheng Youde's face changed constantly, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and finally he let out a long sigh.

Just like Li Fuquan placed his bet on King Chen, he also had to place his bet on Ye Feng. This was no longer something he could decide on his own.

………………

Inside the carriage, Chu Ying asked Ye Feng: "Why does Your Highness want to bring Zheng Youde under his wing?"

"Because he is smart and principled." Ye Feng's lips curled slightly, "I remember Ke'er once said that there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Although Zheng Youde is Li Fuquan's apprentice, he has no intention of rebelling against me. I need someone in the palace to monitor and deal with Li Fuquan."

"Your Highness, aren't you worried that Zheng Youde will confess this to Li Fuquan?"

"He won't." Ye Feng said confidently, "Do you know why he helped Li Fuquan in the first place?"

"It is said that Li Fuquan got into a big trouble at that time."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, Li Fuquan was competing with another eunuch for the position of chief eunuch. The other party set a trap to frame Li Fuquan. And by chance, Zheng Youde accidentally broke in and proved Li Fuquan's innocence."

"Under the circumstances at the time, there was no sign that Li Fuquan would be able to escape unscathed, and those who helped him were likely to be implicated. Even though he knew that he might not end up well, Zheng Youde still stood up and told the truth. This shows that Zheng Youde is a man with a conscience."
