I just want to live a happy life

Ever since Han Xiangjian entered the palace, the concubines in the harem have been keeping their eyes on Chengqian Palace. After all, everyone can see how obsessed Hongli is with Han Xiangjian.

Therefore, as long as there is any movement in Chengqian Palace, the concubines in the harem will know it very quickly.

That night, Hongli injured his arm and came out of Chengqian Palace angrily. In a short while, everything knew.

Everyone was shocked. It was not enough to hurt Hongli in public at the banquet. Even after entering the harem, she had not given up the idea and succeeded. The concubines in the harem had never seen such a bold woman.

For a moment, I was speechless.

Jin Yuyan also knew the news. She felt that the time had come to take revenge on Wei Yanwan, so she did it right away. On the second day after Hongli was injured, Hongli learned from Li Yu that Jinzhong was Wei Yanwan's man.

Hongli was already in a bad mood because of Han Xiangjian, and hearing such news made him feel even worse. Hongli, who originally thought that Wei Yanwan was knowledgeable and sensible, became suspicious. Now, whenever he thought of Wei Yanwan's various behaviors, he felt that she had other purposes.

And there is Jinzhong. What does she want to do by keeping a watch in front of him? No wonder he feels that everything Wei Yanwan does is to his liking. It turns out that with Jinzhong in front of him, Jinzhong knows everything he does.

Hongli was absorbed in his thoughts and moved a little too roughly, accidentally pulling the wound on his arm, causing a piercing pain to rush into his mind.

Suddenly, Hongli understood something.

When the prince born to Wei Yanwan grew up, he was even more unable to do things. Jinzhong was serving him, so if he wanted to harm Jinzhong without anyone knowing, it would not be difficult for him to do so.

The more he thought about it, the ugli's expression became. Wei Yanwan seemed to want to kill him.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill on his back, and he said sternly: "Li Yu, go and take Jin Zhong away..."

As he spoke, he came up with another idea. He was now filled with rage and needed to vent it. He couldn't let him die so easily.

When Li Yu came out of the Yangxin Palace, he felt frightened. He patted his chest before going to carry out the emperor's order.

At this time, Jinzhong had just come out of Yongshou Palace and was walking on the long street. Before he reached the Yangxin Palace, he was captured by Li Yu and many eunuchs.

Jinzhong couldn't break free, he looked up at Li Yu and said angrily: "Li Yu, what are you doing?"

Li Yu looked down at him and said, "I am only here on the orders of the Emperor to arrest you and take you to where you should be."

Jinzhong had no idea that the emperor knew about his collusion with Wei Yanwan. He just thought that Li Yu was jealous of him. After all, he had been more favored by the emperor during this period. It must be Li Yu who framed him in front of the emperor.

"Li Yu, you are so despicable that you can't help but want to take my place so quickly."

Li Yu didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore and quickly took him away.

Some of Jinzhong's ideas are not wrong. You must know that Li Yu has been working wholeheartedly for the emperor since惢心 left the palace. The emperor also trusts him. He is a veritable imperial eunuch.

However, he did not expect that Jinzhong gained the emperor's trust by relying on some crooked ideas. He was somewhat unwilling to accept this, but he did not dare to make things difficult for him, as that might play into Jinzhong's hands. So he turned a blind eye and tried his best to get along peacefully with Jinzhong.

But this time it was Jinzhong himself who was exposed, so it was not his fault.

In order to climb up the ladder and gain the emperor's favor, the concubines in the harem would try all kinds of means. They would fight with each other and try to trample each other to death.

The same is true among eunuchs. You have to know that eunuchs at the bottom are destined to be bullied, especially those who don't have that thing. They will be looked down upon by many people. The masters will look down on them, and the palace maids will not want to pay attention to them. They all want to stay away from them. If they don't climb up, they will never get ahead.

Only when you stand out, are trusted by your master, and have ability, can you be respected by others.

The eunuchs at the lower level fought fiercely, and many of them were bullied. The same was true for those in front of the emperor. If they fell from a high position, they would only be bullied even more miserably.

. . . .

In Yongshou Palace, Wei Yanwan paced back and forth in the room anxiously, unable to calm down no matter what she did.

Her heart was pounding now, as if something bad was about to happen, especially after hearing that Jinzhong was captured.

"Master, don't worry. Eunuch Jinzhong is a capable man. He will be fine."

Wei Yanwan couldn't hear a word of Chunchan's comfort.

If nothing happened, why would Li Yu take him away? The emperor must have known about it.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

Wei Yanwan was startled when she heard the noise and was immediately helped out by Chunchan. But for some reason, her legs were a little weak and she almost fell to the ground.

After leaving the main hall, I saw Li Yu standing there with a few strong eunuchs.

The concubines who had also heard the noise came out from the side hall of Yongshou Palace, wanting to know what was going to happen.

These concubines were all beautiful palace maids selected by Wei Yanwan for Hongli. In order to encourage Hongli to come to Yongshou Palace more often, she arranged for them to live in Yongshou Palace.

Wei Yanwan immediately saw Jinzhong being supported by two eunuchs. He must have just been beaten with a stick. His face was covered in sweat and there was blood on his clothes.

It looks a bit creepy.

Wei Yanwan was panicking, but she tried to remain calm on the surface, forcing a smile and asking, "Eunuch Li, what are you doing?"

Li Yu pointed at Jinzhong and said, "My Lady Concubine Ling, do you know Jinzhong?"

Wei Yanwan's hands were shaking: "Who doesn't know the eunuch Jinzhong in front of the emperor? I wonder what mistake he made to become like this?"

Li Yu smiled but did not answer the question. He restrained his expression and said loudly, "The emperor has ordered that Concubine Ling pry into the emperor's mind and anger him. This is a serious matter, so she is demoted to a noble lady as a punishment."

Wei Yanwan was stunned and stood there. She couldn't believe that she had gone from being the high and mighty Empress Ling Fei to being a noble whom she looked down upon.

"Eunuch Li Yu, you are... not wrong. How could the emperor demote me to a noble lady? I gave birth to two princes and a princess. The emperor would never treat me like this."

Li Yu looked at Concubine Ling, no, Concubine Ling, and saw the tears in her eyes and her pale face. He did not feel the slightest sympathy for her.

"Your Highness, I heard you correctly. That's what the Emperor said to me. The Emperor only demoted you to a noble because you gave birth to a prince and princess. If it weren't for the prince and princess, the Emperor might have demoted you even lower."

Wei Yanwan couldn't believe it and sat down on the ground.

Li Yu waved his hand to let the eunuch who was supporting Jinzhong come closer, and then said to Ling Guiren: "The emperor said that Jinzhong is your servant, so it is better for him to stay by your side and serve you, so the emperor asked the servant to send Jinzhong to you."

Wei Yanwan didn't say a word this time. It turned out that the emperor knew that Jinzhong was hers.
