Jinzhong waited patiently at the door. As soon as Qi Ru came out, he greeted her with a smile: "Doctor Qi."

He was standing outside and didn't hear many details clearly. He smiled and asked, "Please tell me more about Concubine Wei's situation. I'm afraid I'll miss something when I report back to the emperor."

Qi Ru was happy to do him a favor and explained it in detail.

Jinzhong frowned upon hearing this: "According to you, if anyone deliberately tries to anger Wei Zhuer in the future, and if they are really angry, they can kill her?"

Qi Ru sighed: "It depends on whether Concubine Wei can let it go. As long as she can let it go, everything will be easy. I'm just afraid..."

Jinzhong continued his words: "Are you afraid that Master Wei is ill, but is pretending to be fine?"

Qi Ru nodded: "Eunuch Jinzhong is a wise man."

Even he, who was used to seeing all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, couldn't help but sigh for Concubine Wei's situation.

How long she can live in the future actually depends entirely on whether she can swallow all the grievances and let go.

If she had this disease outside the palace, she might still have a chance of survival, but in this cannibalistic palace, it depends on whether she can survive until the day when she no longer has to endure the bullying.

But Concubine Wei was just a weak woman who came from a poor family and had no support from anyone.

What Qi Ru can think of, Jin Zhong can naturally think of as well.

In the past, he always kept an eye on Li Yu's position eagerly.

But now, his ambition to push Yan Wan to a high position was burning wildly in his heart.

Noble lady, concubine, concubine, noble concubine, imperial concubine... Empress! No, Empress Dowager!

He must make her happy and content throughout her life, so that her life will not be in vain.

Jinzhong suppressed his emotions and asked a few more questions in a gentle voice about how to take care of himself and what to eat, then he respectfully sent Doctor Qi to the door.

He really wanted to go in and see Yan Wan right now, but when he heard the girl crying so pitifully, he didn't dare to go in, for fear that he would not be able to help but hold Yan Wan's hand and cry too.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager really loved Yan Wan, so he gritted his teeth and waited for the Imperial Physician Li to give him the ointment. He watched the little palace maid personally apply a thick layer of the ointment on Concubine Hai's face. Then he put the ointment in his pocket and went back to the Yangxin Palace to report.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was held down by two young eunuchs and dragged directly to the small garden at the back.

Jinzhong knew that this would happen today, so he didn't shout. He was thinking about the countermeasures he had prepared along the way. When he saw Li Yu, he was kicked in the chest by him, but he didn't shout. He knelt down with a mouth full of blood and said, "Master, don't be angry. I... cough, I know I was wrong!"

Li Yu stared at him coldly: "You are very smart and didn't yell."

Jinzhong smiled flatteringly: "It is natural for a master to teach his apprentice. I was really reckless today. I only thought about showing off and forgot my sense of propriety. Fortunately, the master gave me a beating, otherwise I would have lost my head in the future!"

Li Yu squatted down, squinted his eyes and pinched his chin: "What's going on between you and Concubine Wei?"

Jinzhong shrank back, not daring to hide it: "Lady Wei climbed up from the bottom, you know, those who have suffered are willing to spend more money to climb up... I, I just think she is really generous."

He swore, "I am ready to dedicate it to Master! Really!"

Li Yu saw that his face was full of flattery and grievance, and thinking about his past temper, his frown relaxed slightly.

Jinzhong is a little rascal. Although he is very utilitarian, fortunately he is smart and sensible enough. No matter what the matter is, he only needs to look at him and he will know what to do and can do it perfectly.

No matter how smart the people around him are, they always lack some foresight, which makes him have to do more work.

If it's just greed for money, it's fine. Which eunuch is not greedy for money?

Li Yu said calmly, "I don't care about your stuff. Since you didn't lie today, I believe that you did it unintentionally. In this case, kneel here and reflect on yourself, and do your job well tomorrow morning."

There is still one month left until New Year's Eve. The Forbidden City is extremely cold in winter, and it is even colder in the back garden, so cold that water freezes into ice. After kneeling all night, whether Jinzhong can get up and continue serving the emperor the next day depends on how much he wants to serve the emperor.

Jinzhong knew that this level would be difficult, so he kowtowed to Li Yu and said happily: "Thank you, Master, for your advice! If you are willing to forgive me and continue to teach me, I will not be afraid of anything as your disciple!"

Li Yu looked down at him, nodded, asked two young eunuchs to watch him, and went to the warm room to guard him.

There was no one in the private room, so the two young eunuchs hurried over.

"Brother Jinzhong, get up quickly! It's freezing cold, if you kneel all night, your legs will probably be broken!"

"Brother, take a rest. I'll go to the entrance of the garden and watch over it. I promise not to let Grandpa Li Yu know!"

Jinzhong stood up with the help of the young eunuch Jinbao, looked towards the entrance of the garden, spat out a mouthful of blood with a cold look in his eyes: "Did he have someone search my room?"

Jinbao nodded: "We searched the house thoroughly and took away all the things that Lord Wei had sent."

Jinzhong sneered: "It's only right for a disciple to show respect to his master!"

He covered his chest, the violent pain in his chest almost made him unable to stand: "You two should be careful, don't forget to be two good dogs for him, openly or secretly. If he really finds out about the three of us, we will all be ruined!"

Jinbao lowered his head: "Don't worry, we are very careful!"

Jinzhong looked at him and said, "I'll kneel down, and you go and get me some medicine secretly. Remember, don't look for anyone else, just look for our regular doctor Li, and stay away from people."

Jinbao responded: "Don't worry."

Seeing Jinzhong kneeling steadily, he hurried away and came back with some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing pills after a while.

Jinzhong didn't want any water and just swallowed it dry.

After enduring the last round of surveillance sent by Li Yu, he softened again and vomited two mouthfuls of blood: "Keep an eye on the people who transport things out of the palace. Nothing else matters. Redeem the pink tourmaline jade pot that Lord Wei gave me, no matter how much money you have."

"Brother Jinzhong..."

"go with!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry!"

At dawn, Li Yu sent someone to call Jinzhong: "Grandpa Li Yu said that you should go back to the wing room to change and clean up, and then go to the front to report to the emperor."

Before he spoke, he stared at Jinzhong's face and condition. Seeing that his face was blue from the cold and his eyebrows were stained with ice, he smiled with satisfaction and went to report to Li Yu.

Jinzhong was helped back by Jinbao and Jinshou. He started by rubbing the medicated oil on himself. After it was all rubbed in, he wiped it clean with a rag to avoid the fumes coming into the imperial court.

Jinzhong was sweating all over from the pain, but he didn't even cry out. After changing his clothes, he staggered around the room a few times, got used to the severe pain in his legs, and went out of the door. He was the handsome and clean eunuch Jinzhong again.

Jin Shou couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Brother Jinzhong is so cruel!"

Jinbao patted his forehead and said, "If he's not ruthless, how dare we follow him? Let's go! Don't make the steward unhappy!"
