Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Cao Yi was a handyman that Jinzhong brought back from the opera troupe during his last birthday.

When he met him, Jinzhong was watching a play in the Liyuan Opera House. On the way, he happened to see the brother and sister escaping and being caught by the troupe owner.

Although Cao Yi was a handyman, he was bold and careful, had a silver tongue, and a quick mind. Most importantly, he had a sister whom he doted on very much.

The two lost their mother when they were young. After their father remarried, there was a famine, so their stepmother sold them to a theater troupe.

The two have been dependent on each other in the opera troupe for ten years. The brother does odd jobs in the troupe, and the sister learns to sing opera with the master. Their life should have been peaceful like this.

After enduring for ten years, he finally reached the age to perform on stage. After only a few performances, he was noticed by a wealthy man in the capital. How big is the capital?

A single brick could kill several powerful people, so small people couldn't afford to offend them and could only linger on. Cao Yi happened to hear that the leader of the group was going to pack up his sister and send her to a wealthy man's house as a concubine, so he tried to take his sister and escape.

Unfortunately, a distinguished guest came to visit the Pear Garden recently, and the place was guarded tightly, so he was caught up before he had gone far.

This distinguished guest was none other than Jinzhong. When he saw Cao Yi, he had been beaten half to death.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten to death but still wanted to protect his sister, Jinzhong knew that the person he was looking for had arrived.

Jinzhong rescued the man with just a few words and paid the ransom for the two men. The troupe leader didn't dare to let them go at first, but compared to the rich man, he couldn't afford to offend the emperor's attendants.

After rescuing them, Jinzhong raised them in the prison warden's house and asked the warden to adopt them as his adopted sons and daughters. He also promised to find a good family for his sister so that he could work for him with peace of mind.

Such wealth and glory are right in front of you, within reach. On one side are jackals and hungry tigers, and on the other side are wealth and glory. Anyone would know what to choose.

As a veteran gambler, Jinzhong is well aware of this.

Jinzhong knew that no one would miss such an opportunity to give it a try, not even the Lord Ling back then.

The two are tied to the same rope. Cao Yi committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Without Jinzhong, he cannot survive.

At worst, isn't his sister still in Jinzhong's hands? Jinzhong is not afraid that he will turn against him.

In two lifetimes, no one knows the art of controlling people better than Jinzhong.

As for Yanwan, she only needs to hold Jinzhong's heart firmly and she will be halfway to victory.

......

"Wei ministers come to see the emperor."

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, only the emperor sat at the top seat, and the servants around him were dismissed. At this time, there were only him and Cao Yi in the hall.

Cao Yi swallowed lightly, his forehead soaked with sweat, and knelt down, not daring to even raise his head.

"You were right about the celestial phenomena last time. Concubine Shu has indeed given me a son. I haven't been feeling well lately. Tell me how I should reward you."

The emperor did not ask him to stand up, but looked at Cao Yi below with a serious expression and indifference. There was no trace of joy in his majestic voice.

"I have observed the celestial phenomena night and day these days and have learned about the emperor's recent state of health. I know that the emperor is troubled. I do not ask for rewards, but only wish to relieve the emperor's worries."

"Oh? What's your solution?"

"The celestial phenomena have changed recently. Although Ziwei Star is the emperor's star, it also needs the help of noble stars. The emperor also has noble people around him to help him."

It was the first time that the emperor had heard such a statement. He was the ruler of the world and had always been a benefactor to others, but there had never been a statement that a benefactor helped him.

He suddenly became interested in what Cao Yi said: "Noble? Then tell me, where is my noble?"

"Your Majesty has always been surrounded by benefactors who have assisted him. Recently, I observed the astrology and discovered that among the stars in Ziwei, Tanlang has fallen into the Palace of Parents. This indicates that Your Majesty had a difficult childhood, perhaps not being valued by his parents, or being adopted by someone else. However, in the future, his parents will become benefactors in his destiny. Your Majesty has not been doing well recently, so you should spend more time with benefactors and borrow their energy to boost your own luck."

"But my biological parents have long passed away. How can I spend more time with them? Are you lying to me?"

Hearing this, the emperor became annoyed. What Zeng Yi said was exactly the same as what he experienced in his childhood, which was a thorn in his heart.

His face grew darker and darker, and his voice was filled with a noncommittal authority that was chilling.

Cao Yi was sure that if he said something bad, the emperor would really kill him.

"I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty! The noble star is so bright and shining, it must be a living person. The moon is the mother star, and since you are Your Majesty, the mother star is naturally the current Empress Dowager."

"You mean to say that my benefactor is the Queen Mother?"

The emperor was stunned. He had been disliked by his father in his childhood and had been left alone. Now that he thought about it, it was only after he met the empress dowager that his difficulties were gradually resolved.

"That's exactly what I mean. According to the astrological signs, every word is true. Even if I had nine lives, I wouldn't dare to speak nonsense. The Empress Dowager is indeed the benefactor destined for His Majesty!"

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he lowered his forehead even lower, almost touching the floor.

Upon hearing this, the emperor pondered for a long time.

Yes, the Queen Mother was indeed his destined benefactor. Without the Queen Mother's help along the way, how could he have successfully sat on the throne?

Is it really necessary to get close to the Queen Mother to relieve the pain?

The mother-son relationship between the two is shallow. Ever since the last eastern tour to select a princess for marriage, the mother-son relationship between the two has been weaker than before. Does he, a dignified emperor, have to bow his head to repair this meager mother-son relationship?

While he was lost in thought, Cao Yi was shaking like a sieve and sweating profusely, fearing that he would make the emperor unhappy and end up losing his life.

"I understand, please go down."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yi felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly bowed and took his leave.

When he came out of the Yangxin Palace and saw Jinzhong, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Jinzhong and Xiao Dezi were quick to support him.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, you really scared me to death. The emperor's majesty is unfathomable, and ordinary people really can't bear it."

He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He felt his head was still safely on his neck, and only then did he feel relieved.

As the saying goes, serving the king is like serving a tiger, and it is indeed true!

Eunuch Jinzhong is really amazing. He can accompany the emperor day and night. If it were him, he would probably faint if he stayed there for a moment longer.

Jinzhong and Xiao Dezi supported the man on both sides. When he was out of sight, he whispered, "Your life is saved today, Master Cao. I, the eunuch, would like to congratulate you. Xiao Dezi, please take Master Cao back!"

After saying this, Jinzhong exchanged glances with him, let go of the hand that was supporting him, straightened his clothes, and turned back to wait in the Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Dezi quickly supported the man and said, "Yes, yes, come here, sir, I will help you back."

......

Without the Empress Dowager recommending Concubine Mei and Noble Lady Qing to the Emperor, Bai Ruiji successfully avoided the Emperor's suspicion. The trajectory of her previous life had been changed by Yan Wan.

At this time, she was in Yongshou Palace, sewing small clothes with Yanwan to give to Shufei's newborn prince.
