Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 18: The Slave's Tear Troughs

Hearing Jinzhong's words, Ruyi pouted her tender lips slightly, with a playful look in her eyes: "Eunuch Jinzhong seems to care about Yanwan very much."

Li Yu said nothing and looked at Jinzhong coldly. Jinzhong was really out of control today.

Hongli narrowed his eyes slightly.

If the people in the imperial court are biased towards the harem, they will be useless.

Jinzhong's back was soaked with cold sweat, but he knelt down calmly to apologize: "I was thinking that Your Majesty was worried that the Empress would get sick, so I acted rashly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The suspicion and coldness in Hongli's eyes instantly halved, and he smiled and said, "You are always smart, I am indeed worried about the Queen and Yan Wan, well, you stay here and wait for Yan Wan to wake up, and come and tell me immediately."

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Ruyi looked at Jinzhong with a half-smile: "Eunuch Jinzhong has a clever mouth."

Jinzhong seemed to be frightened, and crouched even lower: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I will ask the imperial physician to prepare medicine for Noble Lady Hai in a moment, and ask the palace maid to apply it carefully. Your Majesty, please spare me."

When he begged for mercy, it sounded as if Ruyi was angry with him because he beat Hai Lan.

Li Yu kicked Jin Zhong and said, "The Imperial Concubine is always magnanimous and generous. How could she be angry with you? This is simply nonsense!"

Jinzhong was embarrassed: "Then, no more ointment?"

Li Yu paused.

Ruyi also frowned.

Hongli was exhausted after working for most of the day. Seeing that the two of them were silent, he quickly walked out the door and said, "Li Yu, go back first and ask the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks. Ruyi and I will eat and rest later."

Li Yu had no choice but to let Jinzhong go for the time being and left in a hurry.

After all the emperor's people had left, Jinzhong went to the door and pricked up his ears to listen to the noise inside. Even though his heart was about to break with anxiety, he still looked calm on the surface.

Before midnight, Yanwan developed a high fever.

Jinzhong could only grit his teeth and lean against the door, praying to all the gods and Buddhas to bless Yanwan and make sure she can pull through.

In the future, he won't ask for anything, as long as she is happy!

If he breaks his oath, I curse him to never meet her in his next life!

While swearing and making oaths, he grabbed a relatively free imperial physician.

"Doctor Li, please wait a moment. Imperial Concubine Xian is worried about the wound on Lady Hai's face. Can you give me some medicine? It will take two or three hours for the wound to disappear. Otherwise, Imperial Concubine Xian will be unhappy, and the Emperor will be upset too. What do you think?"

"Such medicine does exist, but it is used to treat young palace maids and eunuchs who have made mistakes. The efficacy of the medicine..."

"I was also a eunuch since I was a child. I was young and ignorant, and I was beaten a lot."

Doctor Li couldn't help but look at Jinzhong. Seeing the handsome young eunuch smiling meaningfully, he understood instantly: "Please wait a moment, eunuch. I will get it for you right away."

……

There was little noise outside, for fear of disturbing Qi Ru's consultation.

In the room, Empress Fucha also tried her best to lower her voice: "I said, you must accompany Yan Wan!"

Su Lian was so anxious that she shed tears: "My queen! But your own body..."

Empress Fucha interrupted her: "Su Lian, you have been following me since you were a child, and I know that you are devoted to me, but do you really think I know nothing about what you did in private?"

Su Lian finally understood why the Queen had been so cold to her recently. She knelt down and begged, "Even if you are angry with me, please take care of your own body!"

Empress Fucha closed her eyes and looked at Yan Wan who was lying on the bed: "Do you still remember Dou Dou? If she could survive, she would be as old as Yan Wan now."

Su Lian's breathing stagnated slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Remember."

The queen married the current emperor at the age of sixteen. Not long after, she became pregnant and gave birth to her eldest daughter, but was unable to keep the child.

When the little princess passed away, the queen almost died.

Later, she finally managed to survive and gave birth to Prince Yonglian, but lost the child again.

The lady has lost her two children now.

It is precisely because she remembered how painful the young lady was after losing her child that she could not tolerate those concubines getting ahead of the young lady, let alone allow those concubines to give birth to children and make the young lady angry!

She looked at Empress Fucha sadly: "But your majesty, Concubine Wei is just a lowly maid in the Sizhiku Palace. She is not a little princess! Concubine Wei is lowly. She will tarnish the reputation of Changchun Palace and bring shame to the Fucha family!"

Empress Fucha looked at her disappointedly: "But I like her, I like her! Su Lian, you are always like this, doing what you think is right in the name of doing good for me. But what about my own feelings? Do I have to consider your preferences and the opinions of the Fucha family even when I like someone?"

Something seemed to be stuck in her throat. She closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "When Yan Wan wakes up, you can leave the palace. Since you only care about the glory of the Fucha family, go back to the Fucha family."

Su Lian shook her head: "No! Madam..."

A low call interrupted Su Lian's plea for mercy: "Empress..."

It was Yanwan who woke up.

She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Empress Fucha at a glance. When she was talking to Su Lian, she did not forget to hold her hand. Although she was obviously very angry, she did not hold her hand tightly.

Yan Wan felt a sour taste in her nose and pulled her hand uncomfortably: "Empress."

Empress Fucha was surprised and delighted: "Imperial Physician! Go and call the Imperial Physician!"

No matter how angry and panicked Su Lian was, she couldn't bear to see her princess in trouble, so she rushed out to find Qi Ru.

Empress Fucha held Yanwan's hand tightly, feeling angry and distressed: "Silly child, no matter what others say, is it worth it for you to ruin your body like this?"

Yan Wan's nose felt sore and tears rolled down her cheeks, and no matter how hard Empress Fucha tried to wipe them away, they couldn't be wiped away.

Empress Fucha gently stroked her hair, suppressed her anxiety, and asked patiently: "Good child, what happened to you?"

Yan Wan choked up and said, "Your Majesty, it was Hai Lan who harmed me. Just because the emperor asked me a question and I answered, she went to tell Concubine Chun that I seduced the emperor. Later, she ran to tell Concubine Jia that I liked to seduce the emperor the most, and asked Concubine Jia to keep a close eye on me. Your Majesty, the Queen..."

She burst into tears and cried loudly: "Five years! I haven't stepped out of the gate of Qixiang Palace for five years!"

Empress Fucha's eyes turned red: "She was like that in the beginning... How could she say such things to ruin your reputation?!"

Seeing that she was really pitiful, he couldn't help but move over to hug her, and stroke her back: "Good child, good child, from now on I will protect you, and I will never let anyone bully you like this again!"

She was really angry. Seeing Su Lian coming in, she said to her, "You are familiar with Concubine Jia. Go and tell her that I want her to be a vegetarian for three months, kneel in the Buddhist temple, and copy Buddhist scriptures."

Su Lian hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please don't do that! The Emperor has already punished Concubine Jia because of Concubine Wei's matter, which means that the matter has been put to rest. If you give an order like this..."

Empress Fucha shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Turn over?

How to turn the page?

Yanwan will be frail for the rest of her life because of those five years. Can she ever move on from that?

Can the humiliation inflicted on her by Concubine Jia and the five years of imprisonment and abuse be put behind her?

Lian Xin grabbed Su Lian's wrist and shook her head gently: "Sister, if you say anything more, the Queen will be really mad."

Concubine Jia's reputation and the Queen's health, naturally the latter is more important, Su Lian gritted her teeth and said, "I will go right away!"

Concubine Jia will definitely take the initiative to become a vegetarian and kneel in the Buddhist temple. If she refuses, she will expose her and Zhenshu's plans and die with them! No matter what, she must make the queen happy for once!

Su Lian opened the curtain and walked out, only to see Jinzhong wiping his tears. She looked at him suspiciously, "What happened to Eunuch Jinzhong?"

The corners of Jinzhong's narrow and long fox eyes turned red. He bowed to Sulian and said with a wry smile, "I have shallow tear ducts and I can't stand hearing people cry. No matter what the matter is, I can't hold it back when I hear people crying. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Su Lian saw that his ears were red with embarrassment, and there was indeed nothing wrong. As she had something on her mind, she did not ask any more questions. She forced a smile and nodded, then hurried to Qixiang Palace.

Jinzhong sniffed and moved closer to the door with a cold face. He listened to Qi Ru saying relaxedly inside, "It's okay. Master Wei's crying has helped her relieve a lot of her depression. It's a good thing." Only then did he reveal a genuine smile.

But as soon as I stood in the darkness, the tears in my eyes rolled down and hit the ground.
