I want to ruin the country

Li Baoquan was unwilling to give up and asked,

"Your Majesty, but she is an assassin!"

Yining stared at him with cold eyes.

"Do you want to teach me how to do things?"

Li Baoquan quickly knelt down,

"I dare not...!"

Yining Road,

"Your duty is to protect Hongxiu. If she makes any mistakes, watch out for your skin!"

Li Baoquan quickly agreed.

"Whoo!"

Yining ordered again,

"This matter is over. Don't mention it again. Remember?"

"Whoo!"

After all this trouble, Yining seemed to feel better than before. He thought that this method of diverting attention was a good one!

The imperial physician reported that Hongxiu's injuries had been treated and she had woken up with no other problems.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

When they arrived at Hongxiu's residence, Hongxiu was lying down to rest. When she saw the emperor coming, she hurried to get up.

One of her arms was injured and it was really inconvenient for her.

Yining hurriedly stopped him.

"Just lie down and rest!"

Hongxiu's face was full of shyness, so she had to lie down!

Yining covered her with a quilt, and his hand accidentally touched her towering chest. Hongxiu shuddered all over, her body began to shake, and her heart was beating violently!

Yining only felt that the touch was unusually soft and very comfortable. This was the second person of the opposite sex he had touched besides Catherine, and an electric current also ran through his heart.

I licked my lips secretly. This little girl is really good!

He asked,

"Hongxiu, weren't you afraid when you saved me?"

Red Sleeve Road,

"Your Majesty, I didn't have time to be afraid, but now I am a little scared!"

Yining laughed.

"It's no exaggeration to say you're a heroine. You saved me today. How do you want me to reward you?"

Hongxiu said shyly,

"This servant does not ask for any reward, but only for His Majesty to be safe and sound!"

"Alright, alright. We'll talk about your reward later. First, I'll reward your family with five hundred taels of silver and ten pieces of brocade!"

Hongxiu was happy and sad, and her eyes were red.

"Your Majesty, I have no relatives at home!"

As he spoke, his eyes were already red!

Yining was shocked. Poor girl!

He held Hongxiu's hand,

"So you're an orphan, no one loves you. I am your family, I love you. I'll give you a citizenship first, and from now on you will be a member of the Zhenghuang Banner!"

Hongxiu was so excited that she wanted to get out of bed and kowtow to express her gratitude, but Yining stopped her.

"Don't move, just lie still!"

"Your Majesty, my arm is injured. There is no need to lie down!"

Yining Road,

"Okay, stop talking. Just focus on healing. I'll reward you when you're fully recovered!"

Yining ordered Li Baoquan to

"Find Hongxiu a new place to live and assign four more people to serve her. From now on, no one can take care of her except me!"

"Whoo!"

Li Baoquan thought that the injury to Hongxiu was worth it. If she caught the emperor's eye, she would be promoted to a higher position in one step!

Yining said again,

"She can eat whatever she wants, do whatever she wants, and go wherever she wants. Even if she wants to see me, you must inform me at any time and do not neglect me!"

"Whoo!"

Hongxiu's tears flowed down,

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor rewarded Hongxiu, but Li Baoquan and the others were not jealous. She risked her life to save the emperor, so she deserved any reward!

The other palace maids all looked at her with envy. She was so lucky. Why wasn't she by the emperor's side at that time!

After the emperor left, Hongxiu was extremely excited!

Being a palace maid may seem good on the surface, but it is actually very hard!

There are too many rules in the palace. Most of the girls who have just entered the palace are only twelve or thirteen years old, which is the age of growing up, and they cannot eat enough every meal.

It’s not that you are not allowed to eat, it’s that you dare not eat. If you eat too much and fart, it is considered "disrespectful" and you will be punished afterwards.

Burping is not a good option, or you might lose your life. If you don’t want to cause trouble, you have to starve!

We didn’t dare to eat enough during the day, and even though there were snacks during the night shift, no one dared to eat them, so we had to go hungry until dawn.

They cannot eat meat, such as leeks, garlic, fish, shrimp and other smelly things, for fear that the smell will offend their masters!

Even when you go back to your room to rest, you can't do whatever you want. You can't even lie down with your legs spread out when you sleep. It's said that doing so will offend the gods!

The palace maids envied Hongxiu for finally turning her life around and knowing that she would no longer have to suffer in the future!

If the emperor takes a fancy to her, she might become a royal concubine in the future. They all want to curry favor with Hongxiu so that if she becomes successful, they can also benefit from it!

Yining went directly to the place where Lianxin was imprisoned. In order to prevent Lianxin from committing suicide, the eunuchs tied her hands and feet with silk. In order to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide, they also stuffed rags into her mouth!

Yining saw that Lianxin's wound had been bandaged and ordered,

"Loosen the ropes!"

Li Baoquan was stunned.

“Your Majesty…?”

Yining glared,

"All of you go out, I want to talk to Lian Xin alone!"

Li Baoquan didn't want to leave, as he was afraid the emperor would be in danger again. But when he saw the emperor's look, he didn't dare to say anything and went out obediently.

Yining walked over and untied the ropes that bound Lianxin, and pulled the rag out of her mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lian Xin started to cough violently. After a while, her complexion gradually recovered. Yining said,

"Lianxin, your ropes have been loosened. We are alone in this room. If I have done anything wrong to you, you can take revenge now!"

Lian Xin knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, lowered her head and said nothing!

Yining Road,

"Since you're silent, it seems I haven't done anything to let you down, right?"

Lian Xin still didn't speak!

Yining paced back and forth, without even looking at Lianxin, and said,

"I know that a weak woman like you would never have the courage to assassinate me for no reason. Tell me why!"

It's death anyway, Lianxin decided not to say anything!

Yining stopped, looked into his eyes and asked,

"Are you being coerced? If so, you should tell me!"

Seeing the light flash in Lianxin's eyes, Yining knew that his guess was not far off!

"Lian Xin, you know how much trouble you've caused. I'm the only one in this world who can save you!"

Lotus Core Road,

"Your Majesty, I have committed a heinous crime. I dare not think I can survive. Please do not ask any more questions. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"

Yining Road,

"As the ancients said, even ants are greedy for life. How could you do such a foolish thing if there was no reason? I wonder if you were coerced by someone."

Lian Xin still said nothing.

Yining said again,

"You are in the palace, so naturally no one is threatening you. It seems that your family is in trouble."

Lianxin's tears flowed again.

Yining Road,

"If you want to save your family, you'd better tell the truth. Maybe I can still find a way. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret!"

Lian Xin's heart began to churn. The emperor actually reasoned with an assassin?

According to common sense, I should have been tortured and my skin should be torn apart by now. What conspiracy is the emperor playing?
