The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

The eunuch Li, who always wore a smiling face, quickly bowed deeply and said obsequiously, "Sir, you hold a high position and great power. Who in the court doesn't know you? Even if you don't give the order, I will certainly do my best to take good care of the Sixth Miss. Please rest assured, Lord Yin!"

"It's getting late, so I'll take Sixth Miss back to the palace. The trial for this matter will begin early tomorrow morning."

Zhang hurried forward, and upon reaching him, she quickly bowed slightly and said with utmost respect, "Eunuch Li, you may not know this, but this sixth young lady is still very young and has always been rather frail. From birth until now, she has never left home alone!"

Therefore, I humbly request that you grant us permission to allow Sixth Miss's personal nanny, Granny Zhou, and the eunuch, A-Tian, ​​to accompany her, so that they may serve her well. This way, we can ensure Sixth Miss's safe journey and put our minds at ease as her parents.” After saying this, Madam Zhang raised her head and looked at Eunuch Li with hopeful eyes, her expression full of earnestness.

Eunuch Li's godfather was Feng Sanxiang, the Grand Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial. Feng Sanxiang controlled both the imperial court and the harem, and even members of noble families had to treat him with utmost respect. Otherwise, these eunuchs could whisper in the emperor's ear, and he wouldn't even know how he died.

Eunuch Li said with a smile, "Sixth Miss is a guest, so we must take good care of her. It's natural for her to be anxious about leaving home alone. Her Majesty the Empress said that Sixth Miss can bring her maids and nannies into the palace."

Then, Eunuch Li turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on the tall, imposing, and handsome A-Tian beside him. He was as upright as a pine tree, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face like jade; he didn't look like a eunuch at all.

Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment before quickly saying, "This...this...although this person is a eunuch, judging from his appearance alone, he certainly doesn't look like one at all. Our inner palace is a forbidden area; without strict verification of identity, no one can enter the palace at will. Otherwise, if the palace rules are broken, I cannot bear the consequences. I hope Madam will understand."

Although, like us, they no longer have that thing, their appearance is truly quite different from that of ordinary eunuchs. These castrated slaves, to put it bluntly, are just playthings for their masters to amuse themselves. They are kept in the inner quarters, serving the ladies and young women.

If such a person were taken out of the palace and seen by unsuspecting outsiders, it would likely tarnish the reputation and honor of the young ladies in your household. Therefore, Madam, you must consider this carefully and think it over again!

Madam Zhang quickly replied, "Thank you for your advice, Eunuch Li. I was careless. Then let Granny Zhou go with us!"

Then, Granny Zhou walked forward with light and steady steps, holding an exquisite veiled hat in her hand, and carefully put it on Yin Zijin.

This veiled hat has a unique and ingenious design, removing the traditional hat part and retaining only a soft veil. The veil is like the softest cloud on the horizon, or the mist spreading over a lake in the early morning, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Even more remarkably, this veil was made of a pure white, slightly transparent shimmering brocade. This shimmering brocade was as thin as a cicada's wing in summer, as if a gentle breeze could lift it up.

On the thin, ethereal gauze curtain, delicate gold threads, exquisitely embroidered vibrant and elegant peonies, each one more exquisite than the last. The golden threads shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the white gauze curtain, creating an even more magnificent and dazzling effect.

Once the veil was on, the thin gauze gently draped over Yin Zijing's shoulders. It felt weightless, swaying slightly with her movements, as if dancing in the wind.

Through the veil, Yin Zijing's exquisite face could be seen faintly, like viewing flowers through mist or gazing at the moon's reflection in water, making one yearn to see more. This attire not only concealed his face but also added a touch of mystery and subtle beauty, making him appear like a fairy descended from heaven, captivating and enchanting.

Yin Zijing quickly bowed and took her leave: "Father, Mother, Zijing is leaving. Take care, Father, Mother..."

Before long, Yin Zijing carefully moved her tiny, bound feet and gracefully boarded an extremely luxuriously decorated carriage. The wheels crunched over the snow, making a soft, creaking sound, like a unique winter melody. The carriage moved forward slowly and steadily, leaving deep and shallow ruts in the snow.

A group of fully armed guards surrounded the carriage. Their expressions were serious, and their eyes scanned the surroundings warily. Looking at so many guards, Yin Zijing couldn't help but frown slightly, and a sense of worry and unease welled up in her heart.

Noticing Yin Zijing's change in mood, Eunuch Li, who was sitting beside her, quickly comforted her, "Miss, there's no need to worry. These guards were specially arranged to ensure your safety. After all, you are a crucial link in the evidence for this case..."

Fortunately, she was unharmed. Yin Zijing's carriage stopped at the palace gate. Due to court etiquette, carriages could not drive directly into the inner palace area, so Yin Zijing had to get out and walk. With somewhat heavy steps, she walked along the wide stone path towards Chengqian Palace, where the Empress resided.

The towering palace walls stood like an insurmountable barrier, completely isolating the outside world from this magnificent palace. Faint sunlight fell upon the vermilion walls, reflecting a dazzling light, but this light did nothing to dispel the oppressive feeling that permeated Yin Zijing's heart.

He slowly raised his head, gazing up at the magnificent and imposing palace, a sense of awe welling up within him. However, this awe was quickly replaced by a heavy sense of oppression, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Yin Zijin couldn't help but think, "Is this the majesty of the imperial family?" The further he went, the heavier his heart became. On this vast land, in this feudal dynasty, the will of the imperial family was the supreme law, and the authority of the emperor was so terrifying that no one could disobey it.
