Chapter 464 Don’t Take It Seriously
"Have you figured out everything about Master Xian?"
This question shocked Li Yu. He looked at Jinzhong solemnly for a long time before he spoke: "You are indeed smarter than me, and you are indeed more suitable for this position than me."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "I am not as good as you."
In terms of character and vision, he is not as good as Jinzhong.
If he were in his shoes, he would step hard on himself when he fell from a high position, just like he did to Wang Qin.
But Jinzhong didn't.
Even though Jinzhong became the chief steward, he still took good care of his former master. If he had not insisted on coming to the Yiku Palace to serve, he might have continued to do light work in the Yangxin Palace to live out his retirement, and no one would dare to isolate and bully him.
Now in this palace, who doesn't say that the chief steward is a man of affection and loyalty to the emperor?
But it was Li Yu...
He smiled bitterly, "No matter how much I hate to admit it, I know I have misjudged you and misunderstood you. Over the years, I have claimed to have deep feelings for惢心, but in fact, I have always indulged Xian Zhuer in bullying her.
I claim to be loyal, but I gave all my loyalty to Master Xian, and was actually disobeying the Emperor, the real master who gave me all the power.
I always like to teach you in the name of rules, but in fact I don’t follow any rules myself, so it’s no wonder that everyone blames me when I fall...”
He suppressed his shame and spoke out bit by bit about his mistakes that he normally didn't even want to think about, confessing them in depth to show his position... and determination.
He really changed, and he really wanted to stand against Xian Zhuer, just to fight one last time for his future retirement.
Jinzhong was indeed very satisfied: "I knew that Master has always been a smart man, he was just temporarily blinded by emotions."
Li Yu smiled bitterly: "I haven't done the previous things for you yet, and she has been sent to the cold palace. Do you want me to continue to contact her?"
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Master is really smart."
Li Yu understood, and he just asked: "How far do you want me to go? I heard that she has been getting close to a guard in the cold palace recently."
Jinzhong said softly, "You are still well-informed, which is a good thing, but you don't have to worry about her and the guard. Otherwise, I am really worried that you will not be able to leave the Forbidden City."
Li Yu felt a little nervous, but did not ask any more questions.
This wasn't even a frame-up. She just insisted on getting close to him without considering the proper manners and trying to become a close friend of him.
If that's the case, then it's her own fault if she has to pay the price for it in the future.
He just confirmed: "I just need to take Jiang Yubin to see her, right?"
Jinzhong nodded: "Of course, if Master finds anything else, just tell me. If I can get some more credit, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?"
Li Yu figured it out and left.
Jinzhong then went to the cold palace.
The emperor was afraid of pushing Xianguan too hard, so every time she got into trouble, he would give a relatively serious response.
Your Majesty, you are really good at keeping virtuous women under control.
Sure enough, just as he took Zhang Yun to the cold palace, he heard Ruyi's voice asking, "Who's here? Is the emperor here?"
Just by hearing her ask this, Jinzhong felt that she was really very different from her previous life.
It turns out that even someone as high and mighty as the Queen Mother would become servile and seek favors in every way after falling into the mud!
This woman of virtuous officialdom is really disappointing. How can she have so many tricks to win favor? Even if she teaches others these little tricks, they will never be able to learn them.
Jinzhong lowered his eyes and said, "The emperor said that if Miss Xian really doesn't like this child, you can ask Zhang Yuanzheng to prescribe medicine for you personally, and it will be guaranteed to be clean."
Ruyi's face turned pale: "What did you say?"
Jinzhong looked at her suspiciously and said hurriedly, "Oh, look at my mouth! I really deserve a beating! These are just angry words from the emperor, please don't take them seriously!"
How could Ruyi not take it seriously? She was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She has suffered so much for this child. We can't just assume that it never happened because she is in the cold palace and the emperor didn't see it, right?
The emperor is a man and cannot understand the hardship of a woman’s pregnancy. This is normal and nothing to worry about. But is he too cruel to himself?
Could it be that the emperor was really heartless, and the feelings she could never let go of were nothing to him?
She was still thinking that now that she was pregnant and the baby was a prince, she could only hide in the cold palace to reduce the fear of Wei Yanwan and Jin Yuyan. She had suffered so much, but the emperor actually said that he didn't want their child!
Back then, it was obvious that he was full of expectations for her child!
Ruyi suppressed her anger and said, "Does the emperor want this child or not?"
Jinzhong faked a smile and said, "It's all my fault. I said something wrong and you got so angry that you said something so disrespectful. Your Majesty is kind to all people and loves the people like his own children. How could he not love his own children?"
He looked helpless, as if he really wanted to save Ruyi, but was left at a loss by her violent temper.
Ruyi felt awkward and guilty for some reason. Thinking of the complicated rules, she frowned and bowed in the direction of the Yangxin Palace, apologizing: "It was my fault. Eunuch Jinzhong, please don't tell the emperor these words, lest he get angry and hurt his health."
Jinzhong breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you figured it out. The emperor is still thinking about you. Otherwise, why would he send me here every time you have something to do?"
He made way for you and said, "I have brought Zhang Yuanzheng here to see you. You know his medical skills. If there is a disease that he cannot cure, no one else in the palace dares to say anything."
Ruyi didn't want to be so easy to appease, but after thinking about it, she felt that Jinzhong was right.
The emperor was just... just temporarily deceived by Wei Yanwan. After all, he still cherished her.
If it were someone else like her, they would have died dozens of times already.
She finally felt that all the hardships she had endured during this period had paid off. She looked at Zhang Yun with satisfaction, waiting for him to come and see her.
Zhang Yunquan thought he was deaf and blind, unable to see or hear, so he sat down to see the patient. But when he touched the pulse, his brows suddenly jumped.
But he didn't know what Jinzhong was going to do this time, so he didn't say it directly. Instead, he motioned for Jinzhong to go outside and say:
"I need a medicinal herb. I'm afraid I need Eunuch Jinzhong to go find it."
Jinzhong heard his hint and followed him out. As soon as he stood still, he heard Zhang Yun lower his voice and say:
"This kid is dying!"
Jinzhong's heart skipped a beat: "Fast, how fast?"
Zhang Yun: “…”
He glanced at Jinzhong and said, "At most one month, at least, tomorrow."
