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

After initially venting her anger, Hailan looked at Jinzhong’s smiling face and then she began to realize the consequences and started to feel scared.

She wanted to just let it go, but...

Before her sister left, she held her hand tightly and gently told her that she would support her and hoped she would not let her down.

If I let Jinzhong go without any punishment, my sister would probably be extremely disappointed in me and think that she is still as weak and incompetent as before, right?

Hai Lan suppressed her fear, just like when she was afraid of the emperor but still dressed up to win his favor, she gritted her teeth and mustered the courage to fight to the death:

"Jinzhong, are you dissatisfied?"

Jinzhong bowed his head respectfully and said, "I will obey the emperor. The emperor asked me to stay and apologize to you. I will obey you. You can do whatever you want. I just ask Your Majesty to consider the emperor's face."

Hai Lan looked at San Bao and said, "Since Eunuch Jinzhong keeps talking about the Emperor, we should give him a chance to obey the Emperor's orders. We must not let him stay here in vain."

Sanbao suppressed his uneasiness and said, "You order."

Hailan stroked the marks on her wrists: "Since it's hard to hit someone in the face, then let's use the punishment of standing on the board."

The punishment of standing on the ground means stretching your arms to reach the soles of your feet, grabbing your toes with both hands, and keeping your face close to your legs without being able to move away.

If anyone cannot stand steadily or their body is not straight during this process, they will be punished and beaten until the movements are standard.

This punishment looks bloodless and elegant, but in fact, with the head facing downwards, blood will soon rush to the top of the head, making it difficult to breathe. In mild cases, the person may suffer from dizziness and vomiting, and in severe cases, the person may die.

Sanbao hesitated: "In terms of time..."

Hailan said calmly: "Three hours."

Sanbao was shocked. Three?!

Hailan looked indifferent, but she had not learned the man's temperament of being as calm as a chrysanthemum. Instead, she looked sinister:

"Eunuch Jinzhong, don't worry about your life. You are the emperor's man, so I dare not let anything happen to you. See? Imperial Doctor Jiang is watching over you at all times. You won't die."

She asked the palace maid to bring a soft couch over, sat on it, and closed her eyes slightly: "Sanbao, keep an eye on Eunuch Jinzhong. Eunuch Jinzhong is a man in the imperial court. I believe he is very familiar with this punishment and will not make any mistakes."

Sanbao responded: "Yes."

Looking at Jinzhong's face that remained unchanged, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart: "Eunuch Jinzhong, please come in."

Jinzhong got up from the ground, stood up straight, and stretched his arms to reach his toes.

Hailan glanced at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Sanbao, the master said that it is cold today, so let Eunuch Jinzhong stand on this high platform to get some sun, so as not to catch a cold again. He is serving in front of the emperor, and he cannot cause trouble for the emperor."

Sanbao looked at Jinzhong and said, "Please go in."

At this point, seeing that he had offended someone so much, and thinking that his master had specifically instructed him to indulge Concubine Yu as much as she wanted, San Bao became more open-minded. Since there was no way to resolve the situation amicably, he might as well be ruthless to the end.

Jinzhong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, stepped onto the stairs, stood firmly, and was about to bend down.

Sanbao said in a deep voice: "Please step forward."

Jinzhong narrowed his eyes.

San Bao stared at him and said, "Eunuch Jinzhong has always respected the emperor's words as the imperial decree. You have to make Concubine Yu completely vent her anger before the emperor will be satisfied, right?"

Jinzhong took two steps forward.

Sanbao said again: "You have to go forward."

Seeing that Jinzhong had taken another step forward and stopped moving, he simply pushed him forward until Jinzhong's toes stepped out of the steps, then he smiled and said:

"Now it's safe. You can get more sun without being blocked by the eaves."

Jinzhong glanced at the steps beneath his feet.

There are seven or eight steps, each more than one meter high. If I roll down face first and injure my face, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the emperor for several months.

What kind of place is the Palace of Mental Cultivation? If I really can't serve the Emperor for several months, it would take a lot of effort to go back.

Jinzhong glanced at Sanbao and laughed, "Eunuch Sanbao has a very clever idea."

Sanbao smiled wryly: "I am doing this for the master, please forgive me."

Jinzhong stood firm, bent down, and hooked his toes with his hands.

Sanbao chuckled, "Look, this is the only way to do it. Otherwise, wouldn't you be stepping on your own hand?"

Jinzhong said nothing.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. After just a few breaths, he felt dizzy and his eyes were dark. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, as if blood was about to burst from his veins.

His body swayed, but he still stood firmly.

He was able to climb up from the bottom at such a young age. What kind of suffering must he have endured?

It was also because he was suddenly left behind today and had no initiative, otherwise he would not have climbed to this position and had to resort to the strategy of inflicting pain on himself.

If I don't want to ruin my face today, I'll have to break a leg first.

A hint of calm cruelty flashed across his narrow fox eyes, but Yan Wan's tearful eyes flashed through his mind. He paused slightly, and a trace of guilt and worry flashed across his eyes.

Don’t make the master cry again, or he will be heartbroken!

Sanbao was standing behind him, with a cold light in his eyes.

At times like this, just a gentle push...

Jinzhong's body suddenly tilted and he fell to the ground sideways.

The cold light in Sanbao's eyes instantly disappeared, and he stepped forward quickly: "Is Eunuch Jinzhong okay?"

After a glance, two young eunuchs came forward, lifted Jinzhong up, and forced him to stand up immediately.

Jinzhong was neither sad nor happy. He slowed down a little and stood up again.

Another quarter of an hour passed and he fell again.

This time, he almost fell down the stairs. "I have been working in the Shenxing Division without sleep for the past few days. I can't stand it any longer. Can you give me some time off?"

San Bao's eyes turned fierce: "Eunuch Jinzhong is a man in the imperial court. Don't let me invite you in person again. It will not look good on you!"

Jinzhong calmed down, gritted his teeth and stood up. He stood straight again. Drops of sweat rolled down his forehead, stinging his eyes. He blinked hard, squinted at the steps and calculated the time.

Another quarter of an hour passed, he swayed a few times, his legs went soft and he fell sideways.

He protected his face and rolled down the stairs a few times, testing the strength and angle.

The sound of the body hitting the bluestone slabs was very dull, but Jinzhong lay on the ground for a while to relax, then stood up by himself and staggered towards the stairs.

Sanbao looked down at him and said, "Eunuch Jinzhong is indeed a servant of the emperor. I am ready to ask someone to help Eunuch Jinzhong!"

Jinzhong raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Such a dark look made his already evil fox eyes look even more treacherous and gloomy, making people feel chilled.

Sanbao's smile froze, and his expression suddenly turned cold: "You are standing wrong, you should stand a little further forward!"

Jinzhong narrowed his eyes, and with his strength, half of his foot had already stepped on empty air: "Eunuch Sanbao, do you want me to fall to my death?"

Sanbao smirked, "How could that be? I am doing this for my master, please forgive me, Eunuch Jinzhong."

Jinzhong narrowed his eyes.

Sanbao stared at him and said, "Please don't faint like this. I have prepared a very thick and long needle. I will wait for you to faint and then I will serve you well!"

Jinzhong nodded coldly, and suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Don't worry, although I don't have the blessing of proving the master's innocence like you, my body is better than yours and can withstand more hardships."

Sanbao's face darkened immediately: "Stop talking nonsense! Please!"

He had been able to suppress the urge to push him, but after hearing this sarcastic remark, he could no longer do so.
