Bai Ruiji frowned. She thought it was a big deal. It turned out that they just wanted a palace maid. Simple.

"Which palace? Just tell me. As long as she's an ordinary maid, even if she's from the Queen's palace, I'll try my best."

Bai Ruiji's tone was quite confident. She was just a palace maid. It was not like she wanted the stars or the moon. She was a favorite concubine. What was the difficulty?

She was not a purely good person, but she knew what gratitude was. Eunuch Jinzhong saved her, so she repaid him without hesitation.

Jinzhong said, "She is from Concubine Jia's palace. Her original name was Wei Yanwan, but Concubine Jia changed her name to Ying'er."

Bai Ruiji said, "Okay, I'll go get Ying'er tomorrow. But may I ask what the relationship is between Ying'er and my father-in-law?"

Jinzhong smiled with an ambiguous tone, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness:

"I have a traitor who is friends with Ying'er. He can't bear to see her suffer, so I have no choice but to help her. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

At the door, the traitor Xiao Kuanzi touched his nose. He felt itchy and wanted to sneeze.

"I see." Bai Ruiji was just asking out of curiosity, but after knowing the reason, she stopped asking. "Since he is a friend of your disciple, I will naturally take good care of him. Don't worry, father-in-law."

"Then I thank you, my Lord."

Jinzhong stood up, bowed, and spoke sincerely.

After leaving Yonghe Palace, two young eunuchs followed Jinzhong with their heads down. One of them was called Xiao Kuanzi, who was a shield used by Jinzhong to conceal his acquaintance with Wei Yanwan.

On the surface, Jinzhong is a eunuch who is respected in front of the emperor, so it is not appropriate for him to expose himself. If Bai Ruiji notices that he and Wei Yanwan are too close, it may be disadvantageous to Wei Yanwan.

As an excuse, although the young eunuch was also a member of the imperial court, he had no chance to serve the emperor in person on weekdays. It was more reasonable that he knew Wei Yanwan and asked his master Jinzhong for help.

In the original plot, Li Yu was biased towards Ruyi and nothing happened. Now it is a young eunuch who knows Wei Yanwan, and the two are friends, so it is natural and normal.

After Jinzhong returned to report, he followed Li Yu and waited in the Yangxin Palace, ready to follow the emperor's orders at any time.

Compared with the original plot, Jinzhong is more appropriate and smooth in doing things, and he is never stingy in showing respect to Li Yu. Li Yu trusts Jinzhong very much.

After all, who would go against money?

Jinzhong is not a miser. He spends money as he should and takes care of things as he should, striving to climb up the ladder as quickly as possible.

Move forward in time, to a few days ago.

After Wei Yanwan and Jinzhong parted ways, she returned to her residence with excitement. After dinner, Wei Yanwan carefully took out the red medicine bottle and poured a little powder on her arms, the outside of her clothes on her neck, and on the clothes in front of her body.

After applying the powder, the skin that was accidentally touched by the powder began to itch. Wei Yanwan frowned and swallowed the detoxification pill in the small bottle with a green bottom. In a short while, the itching disappeared.

Wei Yanwan put her things away and tried to stay calm while she went on duty.

Lu Cui was the maid on duty with Wei Yanwan tonight. Seeing Wei Yanwan coming over, Lu Cui twisted Wei Yanwan's arm without thinking:

"Why are you so late? Are you being lazy? Be careful or I'll tell Concubine Jia. Watch out for your skin."

Wei Yanwan cried out in pain, her voice low. She frowned, lowered her brows and said, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"Who are you trying to show off to by acting like a foxy girl?"

Lu Cui looked at Wei Yanwan coldly, not accepting her plea for mercy. Instead, she followed her heart and twisted her arm hard. If it weren't for the palace maid's rule that those with facial injuries could not be on duty, she would have wanted to twist Wei Yanwan's face.

Concubine Jia said that Wei Yanwan was a vixen who loved to seduce the emperor, and told the people in Qixiang Palace not to be polite to her and just teach her a lesson.

A young eunuch came over and took advantage of Wei Yanwan.

Wei Yanwan frowned even deeper, suppressed the nausea in her heart, and endured this daily humiliation. With a drooping brow, she quickly went to stand guard at Jia Guiren's door.

After a while, Lu Cui suddenly felt her fingers itchy. She frowned, but didn't take it seriously. She scratched them hard a few times.

Unexpectedly, the itching not only did not ease, but became more intense. The itching feeling became more severe, as if it penetrated into the skin, and even the bones began to itch. Not only that, her other hand that was scratching the itch also began to itch.

Lu Cui bit her lip and scratched with both hands, randomly and without any method. Soon both hands were itchy. Her face turned red, her brows were furrowed, and her facial features were twisted together. She was in great pain and wished she could cut off both hands to get relief.

She wanted to scream, roll on the ground, and even jump into the hot water to burn her skin.

However, she couldn't do that. She was just an ordinary palace maid. If she made such a noisy and unruly behavior while on duty, she would probably be punished by Concubine Jia.

On the other side, the young eunuch encountered the same situation as Lu Cui. The young eunuch's patience was not as strong as Lu Cui's. After scratching for a while, his ears suddenly felt a little itchy. He subconsciously reached out to pick at his ear holes, and as a result, the bone-eating itch in his hands also spread to his ear holes.

The young eunuch roared in pain and rolled on the ground, scratching his ears and hands. Soon, blood was dripping all over his body, which was a horrible sight.

When Lu Cui saw the miserable condition of the young eunuch, she felt even more upset. She went straight into Concubine Jia's bedroom and begged her to ask for leave to see a doctor.

Concubine Jia was enjoying the massage of her personal maid at leisure, when a maid suddenly rushed into the bedroom. Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows and shouted:

"You unruly person, don't you know how to report yourself before entering here?!"

But the palace maid's cheeks turned red and the back of her hands were covered in blood, which was extremely horrifying.

"What's wrong with you?" Concubine Jia stepped back in fear, thinking the maid had some serious illness and was afraid she would be infected. After asking, without waiting for the maid to reply, she said casually, "Hurry up and go see a doctor. Zhenshu, find something to clean the place where the maid walked!"

After getting the promise, Lu Cui didn't care what Concubine Jia said. She scratched her hands even harder and ran quickly towards the Imperial Hospital. She fell halfway and lost her shoes. She didn't even bother to put them on again. She grabbed the fallen shoes and got up and ran again.

The young eunuch was still lying on the ground wailing. During the process, blood accidentally touched his face, scratching it directly, and he looked miserable.

Jin Yuyan in the dormitory heard the noise, but she didn't dare to come out. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and asked Zhenshu to go out and check the situation.

Seeing the appearance of the little eunuch, I subconsciously thought that it was another sudden illness. Could it be that an epidemic was about to break out in Qixiang Palace?

Coming so quickly?!

Wei Yanwan was stunned, thinking that the thing given by Eunuch Jinzhong was so powerful. Fortunately, she took the antidote early.
