TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Although she was injured in the Yanx Palace, Ruyi was Hongli's sweetheart after all, so he did not blame her too much, but just quietly stayed away from her.

She would send some rewards from time to time and spread the word that Concubine Xian could serve the Empress Dowager with peace of mind.

Even though Concubine Xian was unwilling, she didn't dare to say anything. Hongli's purple face that day really scared her.

I can only look forward to the arrival of Hailan and the Fifth Prince.

The imperial kitchen is always busy every day. Now that there are so many young masters in the palace, every meal has to be carefully prepared.

"This venison is hot and cannot be fed to a wet nurse. Do you want to die?"

"Bah! You are such a shallow-minded person. You won't eat even if you are given silver. If the Fourth Prince gets upset because of this, you will see whether Concubine Jia will skin you alive."

"Drag down."

"Manager Qin! Manager Qin, please spare my life..."

Qin Li waved his hand and ignored him, continuing to check the various foods in the imperial kitchen.

The steward of the imperial kitchen followed behind, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Boss Qin, how come you have time to come here today?"

"Why, is it delaying you from making big money?"

Qin Li stared at the other person with unfriendly eyes. He had received a lot of messages recently.

"What are you talking about? This is truly an accident. I was completely unaware of it."

Qin Li snorted coldly and said nothing more. He certainly knew that there was nothing wrong with this person, but there were too many people who had been secretly making moves recently.

He had to help his master nip all these accidents in the bud.

In this harem, finding a way to kill someone might take some effort, but if he wants to maintain peace, as long as he has a strong backing, nothing will be a problem.

"Keep a close eye on them. No matter which young master gets into trouble, we will be held responsible."

"Yes, don't worry, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes."

Qin Li's appearance made everyone in the imperial kitchen tighten their belts, and all those little thoughts were suppressed.

After leaving the imperial kitchen, the two found a quiet little room to check the accounts.

"The things on the farm are all of good quality, and the bosses are happy using them, so we should make the money."

"That's right, this caravan is really capable. They can get good things from anywhere. With such a huge income, why would I be greedy for the reward money?"

Qin Li smiled and said a few perfunctory words, then suddenly turned the page.

"Eunuch Wang, this... the emperor choked a little at Concubine Xian, so you won't use any of these white jade beans?"

Eunuch Wang didn't expect Qin Li to notice such a small thing. A trace of indignation flashed across his face, but he still explained with a smile.

"Manager Qin probably doesn't know that Concubine Xian came to the Imperial Kitchen that day and was furious, saying that the ingredients prepared by the Imperial Kitchen were not good, which caused the Emperor to suffer."

"God knows the quality of our things best."

"It's not like there aren't better alternatives to this thing, so I'll stop making it. From now on, Concubine Xian won't be able to make this White Jade Frost Cake even once."

"You are so brave!"

Qin Li clapped his hands, admiring the man's courage very much.

He had been in the palace for many years, so naturally he had heard of this dessert. It was said to be a token of love between the Emperor and Concubine Xian.

A terrifying gloom appeared in Eunuch Wang's eyes, and he did not hide it in front of Qin Li.

"What are you afraid of? After this incident, the Emperor may never touch this snack again."

"Even if the emperor wants to eat it, the imperial kitchen can make it with white kidney beans. But she is so hypocritical. She blames us for her own poor cooking skills!"

Qin Li was surprised by the other party's honesty, but he was also keenly aware of the danger.

In the Forbidden City, the less you know, the better. If someone takes the initiative to reveal their secrets, it is probably not a good thing.

"Oh! As long as the masters don't blame us, you have the final say on what to use."

Qin Li put down the account book and wanted to leave, but the other party obviously had no intention of letting him go.

Looking at Eunuch Wang kneeling in front of him, he only hated himself for choosing today to come to the imperial kitchen.

"Master Qin, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I came to you today to ask for help. I must avenge my blood relatives."

"Eunuch Wang, we are all servants. There are no outsiders here. I'll be frank with you. I can't help you with this life-threatening matter."

When Eunuch Wang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Don't worry, I've asked the master for instructions. He said that innocent people must not be implicated. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to ask you."

Qin Li slapped the man hard with the whisk in his hand, "I'm not innocent! What you said is true."

Then he felt relieved and sat back in his chair. "Tell me, what's going on?"

……

After hearing what happened, Qin Li couldn't help but feel sad for the other party.

Like all eunuchs, he entered the palace because his family was so poor that he could barely make ends meet. After he managed to survive and became successful, he transferred his younger brother to work under him and protect him.

She accidentally took the blame on Concubine Xian, as the bowl of ham and chicken soup for the Empress Dowager was clearly made by Concubine Xian herself.

It was his younger brother who died.

The only disciple was dragged into the matter of Concubine Xian's secret medicine because of a few taels of silver, and now he has been reincarnated early.

"You... your condolences."

"What do you want to do?"

Eunuch Wang wiped the tears from his face and said in a muffled voice, "Before, she was in the cold palace and I couldn't do anything. But now it's different. I spent a lot of money to ask the merchant team to find a medicine for me."

"Once a person eats it, they will gradually become irritable and mentally ill. After a few years, they will go crazy and die tragically, and no one will be able to notice."

Qin Li felt more relieved when he heard that it was found by the caravan. This meant that his master knew about it and there was no need to worry about any problems with the source.

"This stuff comes from a type of mushroom, and ordinary people can't tell it apart. I know you have many talented people under you, so I just want to ask you to be kind and let me go."

"Don't worry, this amount of compensation will definitely satisfy you."

Qin Li was also very excited when he saw the other party's outstretched finger. It was not a loss to make so much money just by letting him take a break.

This is also a long-term medication, so the risks are even lower.

"Why don't you just do it?"

"Master Qin, you're joking. I still want to live. Besides, my brother and my apprentice suffered a lot in their lives. How can I let them die so easily?"

"makes sense."

The two separated quickly after reaching an agreement.

On the way back, Qin Li heard the young palace maids talking about how Concubine Xian was kind-hearted and that the medicine she had given him before had not been used up yet. She wondered if there would be a chance to ask for some more.

He took a look and sneered inwardly, kind-hearted, there is no one with a truly kind heart in this palace.

When would the high and mighty Concubine Xian ever consider their lives?

She would think of the young eunuch who died for her sins, or she would feel sorry for the personal maid who was still sweeping the imperial garden.

But it doesn't matter, someone will remember these.

After the third-day bath and full-moon banquet that made Ruyi extremely jealous, the palace finally calmed down.

She couldn't wait to tidy up the palace and bring Hailan and her son over.

I never thought that this was a baby who had just turned one month old, and neither the mother nor the child could withstand such torture in the cold wind.
