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

Jinzhong looked at Doukou calmly, which was both a real comfort and a real threat.

The expression on his face was so gentle, as if he had been attracted to the girl and had a lot of tender feelings for her.

But the knife in his hand was so cold that Doukou felt that he could start skinning her right away.

Doukou's whole body was stiff until the tip of his knife touched her forehead: "Ahhh! Don't kill me, don't kill me! Wuuuuu..."

Jinzhong frowned: "Shh."

He glanced at the door and said, "Didn't the person who sent Miss Doukou on board tell you that if you behave improperly in front of the emperor and disturb the emperor and the nobles, your entire family will be executed?"

He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Even if you are an orphan, the imperial court can find your parents and relatives for you, and reunite your nine clans down there."

Cardamom: "..."

She was really scared, too scared: "I just heard that I look a bit like the most favored Concubine Ling, so I came on board to seek wealth and fame. Please let me go, my noble lady!"

Jinzhong looked at Jinshou and said, "Write this down."

Jin Shou nodded with a serious face. He knew too well the expression on his brother Zhong's face today. This girl named Doukou was really special. She could stand out from so many singing girls and accurately drive his brother Zhong crazy.

Jinzhong said calmly: "He Doukou, your He family has long been in decline. Now there is only an old mother and a younger brother in the family. Am I right?"

Doukou widened her eyes and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

Jinzhong continued, "You have had a great talent for dancing since you were a child, and you are the best female dancer in the area. The last time we met in the dock town, it was the richest Wang family in the area who invited you to perform on the ship and promised you that if you could win their favor, they would make your mother and brother rich for life.

It was just that not long after the Wang family had discussed with you, and you were still training the dance partner that the Wang family had found for you, you suddenly received a message saying that the Wang family had changed the content of the cooperation and asked you to go to the town to perform a good show of a hero saving a beauty.

You acted well, but it was a pity that the two women who saved you were unwilling to let you go. You were afraid that you would really be sent to slavery, so you left in a hurry. Later, you had a big quarrel with the Wang family and were forced to leave the state capital with my mother and brother. "

His dark eyes seemed to be able to see deep into her eyes: "So, who did you meet later? Who sent you on the ship?"

Doukou was already shaking like a sieve: "I was forced! They arrested my mother and brother, and promised me that if I could gain favor..."

Jinzhong interrupted her: "Miss Doukou may have misunderstood me."

Cardamom: “?”

Jinzhong chuckled, suddenly picked up a cork stick and stuffed it into her mouth, then cut the back of her hand with a knife.

“Mmmmmmm!!!”

The shrill screams were blocked by the wooden stick, making them muffled but shrill.

Doukou looked at the wound on the back of her hand with tears in her eyes. The wound had only scraped off the skin, accurately revealing the flesh and bones inside.

Jinzhong gently held the bloodstained knife, used the tip of the knife to push aside her scattered hair again, and whispered: "I never lie to scare people, but I really studied the method of skinning seriously."

He slowly wiped the blood from the blade onto the clothes on her shoulders and said, "Miss Doukou is being stubborn for her mother and brother, I can understand that.

But I have to tell you that you will not survive this time. The person who threatened you is always ruthless and does things cleanly and neatly without leaving any hidden dangers. I am afraid that your mother and brother have worms in their bones by now."

Doukou was in so much pain that she could not hear clearly. Even after Jinzhong took the wood from her mouth, she still said nothing.

Jinzhong was not in a hurry, still smiling gently: "Look, you have already tasted my cooking skills for the first time, and you are destined to die to reunite with your family. The only choice you have now is to look good and go down to meet your mother and brother, or..."

He used the tip of the knife to trace her outline: "Or, I will peel off your skin and make you unrecognizable."

Doukou shuddered and looked at him resentfully: "So vicious! Are you still human?!"

Shouldn't he promise to help her save her mother and brother as long as she told him what she knew?

She burst into tears.

Even if I just lie to her, it's okay!

Jinzhong smiled and said, "Let me ask you again, girl, what did the person who asked you to come aboard ask you to do?"

Doukou didn't want to say.

Jinzhong was not angry. Instead, he moved the knife towards her hairline with great anticipation, eager to peel off her skin first.

Doukou collapsed: "They just want me to learn everything from the nanny, from the walking posture to the speech manner. They said that as long as I learn well, I will definitely be favored by the emperor!

If I really can't gain favor, then at the right time, I will sue Lingpin for forcing me into prostitution and taking me aboard to serve the emperor! I will also sue Lingpin for colluding with local officials and interfering in government affairs!"

Her forehead was in so much pain that she only wished to die quickly. "Since you know so much, you can definitely verify whether what I said is true! You can also definitely understand that this is all I know! If you don't believe me, go ask the teaching nanny, she must know a lot more!"

Jinzhong got the answer he wanted, but he still followed the normal procedure slowly and interrogated her over and over again. He even measured the length of the beard of the person who met with her, down to the distance above the lip line.

When he asked Jinshou to take Doukou away, Doukou's eyes had already become unfocused.

Jin Shou lowered his voice: "If you need me..."

Jinzhong said coldly, "This is about the fight between the concubines in the harem, and it also involves the officials of the prefecture. If any information leaks out, it will damage the dignity of the royal family. The emperor will not spare their lives. Don't do anything, just pretend to be fair and just."

Jin Shou nodded obediently: "Yes."

Soon, the teaching nanny who was frequently mentioned by Doukou was brought over.

Aunt Yuhu also came with them.

Jinzhong immediately stood up from the stool: "Why is Auntie here? Am I too noisy here and disturbing Auntie?"

Yu Hu looked at him kindly, "Eunuch Jinzhong is very good at interrogation. What you asked Jin Shou to tell me is very useful. I just wanted to be lazy. You interrogate and I will listen in."

Jinzhong hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but seeing that she insisted, he personally moved a chair over and respectfully asked her to sit down, and then he went to interrogate the teaching nanny.

Something interesting happened.

No matter how Jinzhong asked, the teaching nanny actually said that it was Lingpin who instructed her to do so. She even told her clearly how much money the contact person instructed by Lingpin gave her and what instructions were given.

Jinzhong narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Yan Wanruo made such a big move, there would be no way she could avoid him.

But even with his methods, he still got such a result, which can only mean one thing - this teaching nanny really thought that it was Yan Wan who instructed her.

"You mean, Lingpin specifically asked you to train a substitute for her to share her favor? What were you thinking at the time that you actually agreed to it?"

"I, I heard that it was..."

The teaching nanny hesitated to speak.

Jinzhong said calmly, "Madam, just be frank. No matter what you say, whether it is true or false, that is something that the higher-ups have to consider."

The teaching nanny couldn't bear the punishment, so she said, "Then I'll tell you straight! Concubine Ling was trying to avoid being favored! She already had someone in her heart, but the emperor loved her so much that she didn't want to. That's why she asked me to look for someone everywhere, and I actually found someone who looked very similar!"
