An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 477: Slaves and Maids

The matter on Zhen Huan's side had already been dealt with, but Prince Guo had just arrived at the cleaning room.

Although it was the emperor who gave the order, Su Peisheng still brought a document which clearly stated that he was willing to undergo castration voluntarily.

Prince Guo was sober by now. He held the document in his hand and looked at the sharp castration knife beside him. For a moment, he couldn't figure out why he was here.

"Your Majesty, if you still have hesitations, you still have a chance to plead with the Emperor. After all, you are the prince, and I will not stop you."

Su Peisheng held the document in his hands, his attitude still respectful as before, "If you really change from a prince to a little princess, I don't know how your life in the palace will be like in the future.

For a woman, the prince has to give up his former glory and wealth and the happiness of the rest of his life. Is it really worth it?"

Prince Guo was still hesitant at first, but when he heard that even a eunuch came to doubt his sincerity towards Huan'er, he immediately signed and sealed the document.

"Your Highness, once this handprint is pressed, it cannot be changed," Su Peisheng looked at the handprint and immediately changed his expression, "Come here, bring Your Highness over and cleanse him immediately."

"Yes, Eunuch Su."

As soon as Su Peisheng finished speaking, someone pushed Prince Guo to go behind the screen. Prince Guo staggered and was about to get angry, but was slapped in the face by the eunuch.

"Xiao Yunzi, after you sign your name, you are no longer the prince you once were. Stop trying to show off to me, or I will be ruthless and make it difficult for you to use the toilet."

Although Prince Guo had a gentle personality, he was a prince after all. Naturally, he was furious when he was slapped and insulted by a servant. He was also good at kung fu, so he flew up and kicked the eunuch to the ground. The eunuch rolled several times before stopping against the wall.

Su Peisheng listened to the noise inside but had no intention of going over to take a look. He looked at the eunuch who had fallen to the ground through the screen and slowly turned around.

"Time is running out. If Your Majesty does not want to be purified, there is still a chance.

However, I still want to say one more thing. With your status as a prince, you can have any woman you want. Why do you have to be obsessed with someone who doesn't take your status into consideration?

If Miss Zhen really loved and respected you, she would not have allowed you to come to the cleaning room."

"I don't want to hear anyone slandering Miss Zhen, Su Peisheng, considering that you serve the emperor, I will forgive you this time.

But only this time, understand?"

Su Peisheng suppressed his laughter and still responded with a "yes", "In that case, I will not dissuade you any further. Now is a good time to purify yourself, Your Majesty, please do not delay any longer.

I will go to the Imperial Hospital and bring back some excellent medicine for wounds, which will definitely prevent Your Majesty from falling into a difficult situation that will take a long time to recover from."

Without waiting for Prince Guo's reply, Su Peisheng went out immediately. He did not go to the Imperial Hospital to get any medicine for wounds. He just picked up a bottle of hemostatic powder from the cleaning room and waited for Prince Guo's scream.

However, Prince Guo was indeed a real man. He could endure the pain of being castrated without crying out. It was not until the eunuch brought out the things that Su Peisheng finally dared to confirm that Prince Guo had become Xiao Yunzi.

Su Peisheng then walked in and saw Prince Guo lying there with sweat all over his forehead. He not only clenched his teeth because of the pain, but also bit the corner of his mouth.

Unfortunately, he couldn't faint from the pain, and he couldn't move because of his injury, so he could only endure the severe pain.

"Your Majesty, I brought you this golden wound medicine. You are sweating profusely from the pain. Please use it first."

Prince Guo was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He barely said, "Please help me apply the medicine," and then he couldn't utter another word.

Su Peisheng was naturally obedient. He immediately stepped forward, lifted Prince Guo's clothes, held the medicine bottle in his right hand, and poured out the medicine.

Prince Guo cried out in pain, his body twitched and he fainted completely.

Su Peisheng looked at the bottle in his hand, then glanced at the fainted Prince Guo, and immediately threw the bottle away, going out and instructing others to take care of the subsequent matters for Prince Guo.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Su. We will definitely treat him as an ordinary person and will never give him any preferential treatment. Please let the emperor rest assured, Eunuch Su.

If you need me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask for my help, Eunuch Su."

"Okay, I know you are sensible. After you have dealt with it, I will send him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The registered name will be Xiao Yunzi. After that, he will be sent to Yongshou Palace to serve. Take the monthly salary with him. Don't forget it."

"Yes, Eunuch Su. I remember everything. I will definitely help you with this matter. Don't worry."

"I am naturally relieved to leave this matter to you. I don't care how others treat Prince Guo. You'd better be respectful to avoid any trouble in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you then."

"Yes, yes, I remember it all."

Su Peisheng gave instructions for everything and left decisively. After waking up, Prince Guo was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register without much rest. After changing his name, he was rushed to Yongshou Palace without stopping. It took no more than two hours in total.

Prince Guo and Zhen Huan met again in Yongshou Palace. They looked at each other in silence for a long time, and finally threw themselves together and cried.

"Your Highness, why are you so stupid? You are the emperor's brother. As long as you leave the palace, the emperor will never make things difficult for you.

But why are you so stupid that you want to stay in the palace with me?

Your body has been badly damaged, but a hundred years later, when we go to hell, how can we face your father?"

"Huan'er, we have been apart for too long, I don't want to be separated from you again."

Prince Guo's face was pale, his body was in great pain. He was holding Zhen Huan at this moment, and the only thing on his mind was comforting her. "Don't be afraid, the relationship between you and me was not that kind of dirty relationship. Now it's good that it's like this. The world can finally believe that the relationship between you and me is the purest."

"But my lord, you don't have to do this for me," Zhen Huan wiped the tears from her eyes and turned her head away, unwilling to look at Prince Guo's face. "You have made yourself look like this. How can I have the face to call Concubine Shu mother when I see her in the future?"

"You've lived in Ganlu Temple for so long, and you never called her mother?

Don’t you like my mother?”

“How could that be? Concubine Shu is gentle and kind. When I was in Ganlu Temple, she took great care of me.

It's just that there is no parental consent or matchmaker's arrangement between the prince and I, so I... don't have the right to call her mother."

"You have already had the qualifications," Prince Guo looked at Zhen Huan lovingly, "In my mother's heart, she only recognizes you as her daughter-in-law."

"But the prince's wife should be Miss Meng."

"There is no love between Jingxian and me," Prince Guo hurriedly comforted Zhen Huan, "She was able to give birth to a son for me because she got me drunk and dressed me up as you.

But the child is innocent after all, and I have to protect him in front of outsiders."

"I understand everything," Zhen Huan raised her hand and pressed Prince Guo's lips. She shook her head gently, her eyes revealing trust, "Your Highness, please be patient. As long as we can kill the emperor, we can get our revenge.

When the prince leaves the palace, he will still be the prince with unlimited glory. "

"We haven't even left the palace yet, are you going to draw a clear line between us?"

"That's not the case," Zhen Huan shook her head, "I just want you to remain the same as before. I don't want the prince to become disgraced because of me."

"I have never been disgraced. I volunteered to stay with you in the palace. No matter how long it takes, you and I will be together."

“Well, we have been through thick and thin together, and now, our only remaining enemy is the Emperor.

I am actually a little worried that you, Your Majesty, cannot do anything to him."

"The moment he ordered my name to be changed, I could no longer hold back.

Don't worry, Huan'er, I will never stop any of your plans. I will only support you wholeheartedly."

Zhen Huan nodded with great emotion and took Prince Guo to see her sister. Now all she had to do was let the emperor continue taking the medicine, otherwise his life span would be further shortened and his day of death would be closer.

It’s a pity that since Zhen Huan and Prince Guo moved into Yongshou Palace, the emperor has never been there again, and even stopped taking the so-called medicine.

After Lingrong pleaded with the emperor, not only was the confinement in Yongshou Palace lifted, but Wan Guiren's status was also restored, and she was required to pay her respects in Chengqian Palace every morning and evening.

Concubine Wan could not keep using her serious illness as an excuse, so she had to obey and go to Chengqian Palace day and night to endure other people's ridicule.

Ever since Zhen Huan went to Yongshou Palace, Ling Rong evacuated everyone else, including Aunt Lianhua, leaving Yongshou Palace with only Zhen Huan as a servant and Prince Guo as a eunuch.

After all, Concubine Wan and Zhen Huan are sisters, so it is naturally impossible for them to act like mistresses. Therefore, all the affairs of Yongshou Palace are handled by the two sisters.

Prince Guo, however, was still as normal as if he was still in his mansion. He would not do those little things like folding clothes or wiping dust. The only thing he could do was to worry about Zhen Huan's health.

Therefore, when they went out to pay respects, there were only Zhen Huan and Concubine Wan.

Seeing that Concubine Wan had been reinstated again and no longer able to torture her, Concubine Qi was so angry that she didn't sleep well for three days.

On the fourth day, when she was planning to think of a solution, the emperor actually began to frequently stay overnight in her Changchun Palace, causing Concubine Qi to be busy consolidating the emperor's favor and not immediately humiliating Zhen Huan.

However, when paying her respects, she did not let Zhen Huan go, and kept talking about the fact that Zhen Huan had become a lowly palace maid.

"Sisters, do you remember that there was a concubine in the sky who looked very much like this "Zhenxi". What was her name?"

"The person you are talking about must be Fu Zi, right?" Xinbin spoke and said Fu Zi's name.

"Oh, that's the name. Sister Xinbin remembers everything related to cherishing clearly.

Fortunately, I remember it clearly, otherwise all my efforts to flatter her would have been in vain."

Noble Lady Qi did not forget to mock Concubine Xin. Before Concubine Xin could get angry, she turned around and looked at Zhen Huan, "If you ask me, why call her Zhenxi? Fuzi is a very good name.

I am blessed with endless blessings, so I don't need to wear powder on my ears to attract butterflies. "

Concubine Chun also laughed. She glanced at Zhen Huan and turned her head to eat snacks.

Now Zhen Huan has fallen into this situation because of the Emperor's actions and her own request. I can't help her at all.

Fortunately, Zhen Huan did not say a word. She just lowered her head and let Concubine Qi say those sarcastic words.

"Noble Lady Wan, the Emperor has been staying in Changchun Palace a lot lately, and I need to clean up all the time. The people in the palace are busy every day and are really a little tired.

Why don't you lend me your treasures and Xiao Yunzi from the palace so that I can help you clean the courtyard."

"I'm sorry I can't agree to this. There are only two servants in Yongshou Palace. If they are both taken to Changchun Palace, I will have no one to serve me."

"This does sound a bit miserable. So let's do this. Ask Zhenxi to come to my palace to help clean up in the near future. You won't refuse this, right?"

"Please forgive me for refusing," Concubine Wan still refused to give face, "This young lady only has this woman to serve her. If you take her away, everything will become inconvenient."

"You don't have the final say on this. You should also ask for your opinion..."

"My Lady Imperial Concubine," Concubine Wan suddenly spoke up, "You also heard Concubine Qi saying that she had too few servants in Changchun Palace.

Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a few people to serve you.

Otherwise, if the emperor knew about this, and the favored noble lady Qi was wronged, it would probably implicate the queen."

"Noble Lady Wan, how can you make such random accusations?" Noble Lady Qi scolded, "The Imperial Noble Consort is sitting right here. She heard everything I said clearly. There is no need for you to confuse right and wrong here. Do you understand?"

Concubine Wan was furious. She gritted her teeth and was about to speak, but Zhen Huan raised her head and grabbed her sleeve to stop her.

"I will go. It is my blessing to be able to help Miss Qi."

Seeing Zhen Huan speak, Concubine Qi hurriedly smiled and said that she was sensible, not giving Concubine Wan any chance to refuse.

"Since you have agreed, then go ahead," Ling Rong said leisurely, "But Concubine Wan really has no one to serve her, so you should send her back to Changchun Palace as soon as possible."

"Everything is up to the Madam's arrangement."

Concubine Qi happily agreed, and as soon as she finished paying her respects, she immediately brought Zhen Huan back to Changchun Palace.

Sometimes she asked Zhen Huan to scrub the bathtub, and sometimes she asked Zhen Huan to wipe the whole house clean.

Zhen Huan did not complain, nor did she mock Concubine Qi as she did in the past. She just did her work silently and observed every place in Changchun Palace.

After watching for a while, Concubine Qi felt a little tired. She told the maid beside her to look after Zhen Huan, and then she went back to take a nap.

After watching for a long time, the little maid felt a little tired, so she followed Zhen Huan to wipe it one place at a time, and she just sat in the corridor and watched.

Zhen Huan finally found an opportunity. She took out a package from her sleeve and, while no one was paying attention, threw the thing into a narrow-mouthed porcelain bottle on the antique shelf.
