Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table
Chapter 253 Poisonous Heart
I don’t know if it’s because he’s old, but he’s not as easy to deal with as a child, but there’s a smell all over his body... The smell is pungent and unpleasant, like a mixture of the sour smell of sweat, the rotten smell of wounds, and the foul smell of something that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.
As Jinzhong approached, the strong smell hit him. He frowned and quickly picked up a handkerchief to cover his nose.
Then he turned and asked the old eunuch who was in charge of guarding him.
"What's wrong with him? How did he get so bad and smell so bad?"
His voice rose a few degrees, sounding particularly harsh in this quiet space.
"He is old, and it is really difficult to deal with him. I hope the steward will forgive me."
The eunuch said this with a smile of flattery on his face. His body was slightly bent, his hands were rubbing unconsciously, and there was a hint of panic and uneasiness in his eyes.
He knew Jinzhong's status in the palace and was afraid that his answer would not satisfy Jinzhong and thus bring trouble to himself.
"Is he recovering well now? The palace is short of manpower..."
Jinzhong spoke in a sinister tone, a calculating look in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile.
Logically speaking, a eunuch of Ling Yunche's appearance is not qualified to be in the palace of the master and the queen, let alone to be a toilet cleaner in Yongxiang.
Who made the Queen like this?
If anyone said that the emperor was not good to the empress, Jinzhong would be the first to jump out and object.
In Jinzhong's eyes, the emperor has done his utmost to treat the queen.
Jinzhong curled his lips in a mischievous manner and stared at Ling Yunche.
"To answer the steward, he is better, but I'm afraid his condition is offensive to the master. He is old and will recover slowly. I'm afraid he will have a severe case of stranguria for the rest of his life..." The old eunuch's tone was full of caution. He knew very well that Ling Yunche's condition was not optimistic, and it would be difficult for him to have a good future in the palace with such a physical condition.
If such a person enters the palace and does something wrong, he will inevitably be implicated.
The old eunuch replied cautiously, not daring to look Jinzhong in the eye, only occasionally glancing at his expression from the corner of his eye. Seeing Jinzhong's anxious look, he felt very puzzled.
He has been doing this kind of work in the palace for decades and has seen all kinds of people and things, but a situation like Ling Yunche's is really rare.
Is this what the palace likes recently?
Moreover, Ling Yunche is already over 30 years old, and it is rare for him to suffer such a crime.
He has been doing this kind of work for decades, and this is the first time he has seen someone over 30 suffering like this.
But Ling Yunche is different. He is old and his body functions have begun to decline.
This man is over thirty years old, and even if he recovers, he is not as agile as an ordinary eunuch.
"It doesn't matter. As long as the masters are happy, no matter what he is, he should be sent to them, right?"
Jinzhong scoffed, crossing his arms as he walked along.
"There's no Ling Yunche in this palace anymore. From now on, you'll be called Little Lingzi. The Emperor has spared your life by grace and sent you to the Yikun Palace to serve the Empress. You must do your best..."
Jinzhong deliberately emphasized the words "Your Majesty's grace".
In the past, you relied on your status as an imperial guard to show off in the palace. Now that you have become a eunuch, let's see if you can still show off.
When Xiao Lingzi heard this, he was almost ashamed and angry to death.
It would have been fine if the emperor had just humiliated him, but he also sent him before the empress, clearly intending to use him to slap the empress in the face.
Seeing that he didn't move, the old eunuch felt nervous, fearing that Jinzhong would be unhappy about it. He quickly raised his foot and kicked Ling Yunche with considerable force.
"You bastard, why don't you quickly thank the emperor for his grace?"
"This is a great blessing, something that many people would never be able to obtain. I wonder how much blessing you must have accumulated in your previous life. Who are you showing off your sad face to? It's bad luck!"
While beating and scolding him, the old eunuch continued to raise his foot as if to kick him again.
His eyes were full of disgust and impatience, and he felt that Ling Yunche was really ungrateful.
Getting the chance to serve in the Empress's palace is something many eunuchs dream of, but Ling Yunche actually doesn't appreciate it.
While beating and scolding him, he looked up at Jinzhong's face, with a hint of flattery and fear in his eyes.
Seeing Jinzhong's good mood and that he didn't seem to have any objections to his actions, he finally felt relieved. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to scold Ling Yunche, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you thank me now! If you offend the general manager, you will be in trouble!"
If the general manager punishes him for not disciplining him properly, he will be severely harmed by this damn kid.
The kick was so powerful that Ling Yunche staggered and almost fell to the ground.
His face turned frighteningly pale in an instant, without a trace of blood. Beads of cold sweat kept popping out from his forehead, one after another, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the cold ground.
He endured the severe pain in his body and could only tremble his lips and say with all his strength: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."
Jinzhong was in a good mood today, and he was not annoyed to see Ling Yunche in such a mess. He waved his hand impatiently, signaling his men to help Ling Yunche up.
"Let's go, don't keep the Queen waiting for too long..."
Jinzhong said this in a sarcastic tone, then swung the whip in his hand and turned to walk out of the house.
For some unknown reason, the emperor found an excuse to have Jinzhong bring people to deliver the reward to the Yikun Palace. Ling Yunche was the grand finale of the reward.
A group of people marched towards Yiku Palace in a mighty procession.
Ling Yunche was at the end of the team, his steps were slow and he struggled to keep up with everyone else.
To go to Yiku Palace, you must first pass through Yongshou Palace.
Seeing Jinzhong’s grand display, everyone curiously stuck their heads out to take a look.
It wasn't until he saw the young eunuch following Jinzhong looked familiar that Wang Chan was overjoyed and even pulled Chunchan and Lancui to talk some dirty talk.
"Everyone in the palace was saying Ling Yunche was dead, but now he's become a eunuch... It's really refreshing to see him. Who made him rush to be a dog in the Yikun Palace all these years? Now his wish has come true..."
Wang Chan glanced into the hall, making sure his master wouldn't hear what he said, and whispered.
"Your Majesty is truly wise. I don't know where in the world I can find such a good thing. I'm already over thirty, and I can still be a boy again..."
Chunchan finally understood what Yanwan meant by "life is worse than death", and she felt relieved at that moment.
"Hmph! He must have cultivated good fortune for eight lifetimes, but he got all the good things. You must be polite to Xiao Lingzi when you see him next time. I'm afraid he will be a favorite in the Queen's palace in the future..."
"Yes, Aunt Chunchan is right, we all know..."
The master's favorite had spoken, and the palace servants everywhere put down their work and responded.
He is a famous person after all. Not only has he saved the Queen time and time again, but they are also in love with each other. Xiao Lingzi's blessing is coming.
As for the previous Sanbao, he is still suffering in the greenhouse.
I'm afraid that the Empress has found a new love and has forgotten about him... Ruyi was worried about Ling Yunche when Yurong came in to report.
"Empress, Eunuch Jinzhong has arrived. The Emperor has sent him to deliver the reward..."
Yurong only knew about Ling Yunche, but didn't know what he looked like, so she had a happy look on her face when she came in to report.
The Emperor asked Jinzhong to come and deliver something, probably because he was concerned about the Empress. This way, she wouldn't have to suffer for her master like Rong Pei did before.
Ruyi looked up listlessly, her eyes were dull, like a jewel that had been sealed in dust for a long time, having lost its original color forever.
"Let him in."
She sighed, wondering what the emperor would do next.
"Greetings to the Empress. These are the gifts bestowed upon you by the Emperor. He said he would also like to give you something else..."
Jinzhong was talking to himself, and when he mentioned the reward, there was anticipation in his eyes.
He gently raised his hands and clapped softly, the applause seeming particularly abrupt in the silent space. As the applause died down, a frail figure slowly walked out of the shadows.
It was Ling Yunche. After not seeing him for so long, he seemed like a completely different person. Dry and thin, his body hunched over, like a dead tree with no life in it.
The moment his eyes met Ruyi, a look of embarrassment gradually rose on his face. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Ruyi's eyes.
Ruyi was sitting there listlessly in a daze, but when Ling Yunche's figure came closer, her eyes instantly focused.
At that moment, she couldn't help but let out tears, which welled up in her eyes, ready to burst out at any moment. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
"There is no such person as Ling Yunche in this world now. This is little Lingzi. From now on, you will stay in Yikun Palace and serve the Empress well. Why don't you pay your respects to the Master?"
Jinzhong saw the uncomfortable expressions on the two people's faces, and the flattering smile on his face deepened, and he said in a gloomy voice.
"Why don't you come and pay your respects to the Queen?"
"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen..."
Ling Yunche seemed to be suddenly awakened, and stubbornly saluted in the way he used to be a guard.
But before he could finish his move, he was kicked hard by Jinzhong who was standing beside him.
"You unruly thing, how dare you call yourself a humble official? You should call me slave..." Jinzhong glanced sideways, and his words were directed to Ling Yunche, but also seemed to be directed to Ruyi.
"Little Lingzi doesn't know the rules. Please, Queen, teach him a lesson. The eunuchs in the palace are not as noble as the palace maids. It's no big deal to beat them to death..."
Ruyi was struck by lightning.
She didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel that he turned Ling Yunche into a eunuch.
Such humiliation would be worse than killing him.
She sat there woodenly. Jinzhong waited for a long time before she opened her mouth in a daze.
"What else did the Emperor say?"
"The Emperor will be here later to dine with the Empress. I've sent this servant to let him know so that preparations can be made in advance. I've brought the reward and passed on the message. I have work to do in the Yangxin Palace, so I'll take my leave now."
Jinzhong had achieved his goal, so he naturally did not stop them from reminiscing about the past and immediately took his leave.
After he finished speaking, he turned around, not forgetting to glance at Xiao Lingzi who was kneeling on the ground.
Xiao Lingzi had an old injury on his body. He had just been kicked in the morning. Jinzhong's kick agitated the old injury, causing tingling all over his body.
If he hadn't been in front of Ruyi and wanted to retain the last bit of dignity, he would probably have collapsed to the ground and wouldn't have recovered for a long time.
Only after Jinzhong left did Ruyi start to cry.
