Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall
Chapter 20: Chief Eunuch
"Empress, Yingluo has come up with a brilliant plan that can catch all the servants who betrayed their masters in the prince's office, and at the same time make the people hiding behind them nowhere to hide."
Wei Yingluo lowered her voice and told the three people present in detail about the "trap" she had carefully planned.
After listening, everyone thought the plan was very feasible.
"Zhang Jianyi, from now on, you should fully cooperate with Yingluo."
Although the Queen looked haggard and depressed due to the blow she suffered, her eyes revealed a look of determination.
She knew very well that if anyone really dared to do something bad and try to harm her son, then she would be cruel and would show no mercy.
Wei Yingluo gazed at the Queen's firm and powerful eyes, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart.
She thought to herself: If the Queen could be more decisive and ruthless, perhaps she could protect herself better. How she wished the Queen could be more "vicious".
At this moment, time passes quietly and the night deepens.
The Queen said worriedly, "It's getting late. Escort Yonglian back to the palace to rest. Be careful on the way."
It was not until this moment that the Queen came to her senses and realized that she had aroused so much jealousy and resentment that even her own flesh and blood could not escape the bad fate.
If it is true as Yingluo said, that Yonglian was unfortunately poisoned and there is no way to find out the cause and no medicine can cure it, then I am afraid that I will be deceived forever and mistakenly believe that Yonglian just suddenly suffered from a serious illness...
The Queen felt heartbroken at the thought of possibly losing Yonglian forever, and couldn't imagine how the future would go on.
Yonglian looked at her mother who was trying to remain calm, her heart filled with sadness and pity.
He comforted her softly, "My Queen Mother, please don't worry too much. In my opinion, I feel that Sister Yingluo is like someone sent by God to help us. She will definitely help us turn danger into safety."
“Yonglian, it would be great if you were born in an ordinary family. Then, mother wouldn’t have to worry about you suffering such hardship and torture.” The Queen spoke with a guilty look on her face.
Facing the Queen's self-blame, Yong Lian sensibly comforted her: "Don't be sad, Queen Mother. This is not your fault. I know that you have tried your best to protect me. Even if you have gone through hardships, it is worth it."
"Besides, my son has been blessed with so many precious things since he was born: you have been caring for him meticulously, and I have been cared for by my father, who treasures me like a treasure. I have no worries about food and clothing in my daily life... I am already very lucky. These burdens are just the price. I am willing to bear them. Please rest assured, mother! When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you."
After hearing Yonglian's heartfelt words, the queen couldn't help but burst into tears. She stretched out her arms and hugged her beloved son tightly in her arms.
"It should be said that mother feels extremely lucky! To have a good child like Yonglian who is so well-behaved and sensible..."
Wei Yingluo stood quietly by the side, silently watching the deep mother-son relationship between the Queen and Yonglian, and felt secretly moved in her heart.
Especially when seeing that Yonglian is so resolute and courageous at such a young age, and has a broad mind that cares about the people of the world, it is clear that his character is so suitable for being an emperor.
It made her even more convinced that her rebirth and decision to protect them until death was absolutely a wise move.
"Your Majesty, it's okay. The Second Prince is blessed by God. Good and bad things go hand in hand. After this disaster, he will surely be able to turn danger into safety in the future and everything will go smoothly in the future!" Wei Yingluo said gently to the Queen.
At this moment, the chief eunuch Zhang Jianyi standing nearby also hurriedly echoed Wei Yingluo, and all kinds of auspicious words came out of his mouth like a string of cannonballs, and each sentence was different and never repeated.
At this point, the Queen finally smiled and said softly, "You guys really make me sad and upset."
Looking at the Queen who was surrounded by people protecting her, Wei Yingluo smiled sincerely.
However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind - why had she never heard of Zhang Jianyi in her previous life? This man looked to be only in his twenties, but he had an outstanding appearance and a gentle temperament.
Moreover, the Changchun Palace, where the Empress once lived, seemed to have always lacked a trustworthy eunuch chief.
In an instant, a memory about Zhang Jianyi's previous life flooded into Wei Yingluo's mind like a tide.
It turned out that Zhang Jianyi, the chief eunuch who served the Empress, was a man who never forgot righteousness when he saw profit, so he was named Zhang Jianyi.
At that time, when the Empress was first canonized, Zhang Jianyi was bullied in the palace because of his outstanding appearance. Fortunately, the Empress rescued him and he was able to enter Changchun Palace to serve as a cleaning eunuch, thus escaping the fate of being bullied.
Later, the chief eunuch, who was originally trusted by the Queen, was bribed by the concubines with ulterior motives, and attempted to assassinate the Queen in order to gain the throne. Zhang Jianyi risked his life to save the Queen.
Not only that, this seemingly ordinary little eunuch was not only brave and fearless, but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and strategy. It was because of such outstanding performance that Zhang Jianyi was appreciated and valued by the emperor, and was able to rise to the position of chief steward of Changchun Palace.
However, in his previous life, due to the death of the Second Prince, he was falsely accused of harming the Second Prince because the Queen treated him harshly. In the end, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the Queen's reputation in the harem also plummeted.
It turned out that these people had already found out that the second prince first liked drinking tea because he saw Zhang Jianyi tasting tea. In this way, Zhang Jianyi was also part of their plan. Arsenic was put in Zhang Jianyi's tea. After his death, it was said that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The conspirator was Zhang Jianyi's apprentice Lei Gonggong, who wanted to replace his master.
As a result, the Queen Mother suffered tremendous pain and loss in her previous life: she not only lost her beloved son, but also lost a capable assistant.
From then on, no one could give advice and run around for the Empress like Zhang Jianyi did.
Because of this, the Empress completely lost her trust in the eunuchs from then on, and there was no longer a chief eunuch in Changchun Palace, but this made the Empress even more isolated and helpless.
Wei Yingluo thought, this time she should save the eunuch chief steward and remind him to pay attention to whether his apprentice has any ulterior motives. If he is still framed after the reminder, it means that his means and abilities are not very strong, so she can find another chief steward for the queen.

Wei Yingluo asked Qingyun what the Second Prince looked like.
Qingyun said, "A little happiness in life is better than everything else."
