Chapter 208 You and Yan Wan, the two of you
Rong Pei was as strong as an ox, but Jinbao was no pushover. He twisted her wrist and pushed her down the stairs.
Seeing Rong Pei getting up and about to do it, Jin Bao was amused: "Aunt Rong Pei, think carefully, you are disobeying my order, if you move again, I will use a knife directly!"
Rong Pei didn't hesitate for a second: "I am a servant of Empress Xian. If you want to kill me, just do it!"
Jinbao looked at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Since Aunt Rongpei wants it, Jinbao, you go in person and send Aunt Rongpei to the west."
Jinbao smiled shyly: "Yes."
In the room, Ruyi held Hailan's hand and walked out quickly: "Jinzhong!"
She spoke harshly the first time, but lowered her tone the second time: "Jinzhong, don't be like this. Rong Pei is just too straightforward and she didn't mean to disobey the order."
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Your servant greets the Empress Xian. Your Majesty, I have received the order from the Emperor to ask Xiao Lingzi to question him."
Ruyi's expression darkened slightly. "What did Xiao Lingzi do wrong that you have to come and arrest him in person?"
Jinzhong looked at her expression and felt that she was really good at pretending, as if she really knew nothing: "Empress Xian, this is a confidential matter, I can't tell you too much."
Ruyi looked at him warmly, "Jinzhong, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You are Li Yu's apprentice. He told me that you have always been very filial to him. He is suffering now because you are taking care of him."
Jinzhong smiled and waited for her next words.
Ruyi said softly, "I have misunderstood you before, please don't bear a grudge against me. Now, I solemnly apologize to you here."
As she spoke, she bowed towards Jinzhong.
Jinzhong quickly made way and looked at her in doubt: "Empress Xian, are you trying to get me to commit treason so that the Emperor can beat me to death?"
Ruyi's face was filled with shyness, and she said helplessly, "You misunderstood, Jinzhong. I know that the emperor loves me and would not let a servant bully me. How could he use such means to deceive you? I am just really sorry for what happened before."
After hearing this, Jinzhong wanted to stay away from her. Could it be that he looked like a fool like Xiao Lingzi?
He looked terrified: "You are the master, Empress Xian. How can I bear your apology? If you can believe that I have no intention of harming you, I will be grateful to you."
Ruyi looked at him with satisfaction: "I knew that since you could be Li Yu's apprentice, you must have a good character."
Jinzhong smiled and said, "You are too kind. I am ashamed. It is because of Master that I have been promoted. I am where I am today."
Ruyi looked at him gently and said, "You must have advantages that others don't have, otherwise, the emperor wouldn't use you so much."
Jinzhong didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so he said softly, "Your Majesty, look, the Emperor is still waiting for me to go back and serve him, and this little Lingzi..."
Ruyi took two steps towards him and lowered her voice: "Jinzhong, you know Ling Yunche's situation. He has suffered a lot. Can you save him?"
Jinzhong smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, your majesty, the emperor doesn't want to kill Xiao Lingzi, but he violated a taboo, so he asked me to give him a warning. Don't worry, when the matter is settled, I will personally send him back to you."
Ruyi felt relieved: "Really?"
Jinzhong lowered his head and said: "How dare I lie to you?"
Ruyi sighed: "It's all my fault for not taking good care of Ling Yunche."
She turned her head and looked into the house: "Ling Yunche, follow Eunuch Jinzhong. He won't make things too difficult for you."
Ling Yunche walked out of the house slowly, looking at the ground with his eyes lowered. His hands trembled slightly in his sleeves and his heart tightened unconsciously.
He had a feeling that he would not be able to get well on this trip.
But don't go...
Even the emperor gave the order!
Now, he only hoped that, as Xian Zhuer said, the emperor suspected Yan Wan, so he asked Jinzhong to keep an eye on her.
He walked to Jinzhong in silence, and when Jinzhong turned around, he turned to look at Ruyi: "Princess Xian, take good care of your health and don't worry about other things."
He always felt that the matter of the voodoo doll was not reliable, and he knew that Madam Wei was not someone who could accomplish great things.
Ruyi thought he was worried about her, so she said softly, "Ling Yunche, don't worry. Eunuch Jinzhong is Li Yu's apprentice, and he will take care of you."
Ling Yunche could only smile bitterly, lower his eyes, and follow Jinzhong outside.
After leaving the gate of Yikun Palace, Jinzhong took Ling Yunche directly to the dungeon.
He waved his hand to let the others go down, leaving only Jinbao to help.
Ling Yunche felt a chill in his heart: "What do you want to do?"
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Xiao Lingzi, look, I told you a long time ago, but you just don't believe it."
Ling Yunche closed his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Concubine Ling?"
Jinzhong's eyes were cold: "What did you tell Master Ling? Are you slandering me as being like you, harboring dirty thoughts towards the concubine?"
He sneered: "Xiao Lingzi, your mistress has long known about your dirty thoughts about Concubine Xian, but she doesn't care. Now she only has the child in her belly and the child's father in her heart. As for you..."
He sneered, "He is just a treacherous villain who wanted to cling to the rich and powerful, but when he failed, he got angry and followed Empress Xian to harm her!"
Ling Yunche's heart seemed to be burning with fire: "How can I be with her..."
Jinzhong interrupted him: "Ling Yunche, your mother still likes to wait at the corner gate in the west. She always wonders when you will come back."
Ling Yunche: “…”
He took a deep breath: "What do you want?!"
He didn't expect Jinzhong to say this. When he was a child, he always liked to sneak out from the west corner gate to play. When his mother found out, she didn't get angry, but would wait for him at the corner gate.
Outsiders don't know these things. Only by watching him day and night and asking his mother questions can we know them so clearly.
Jinzhong looked at him coldly: "Since you have Empress Xian in your heart, don't let other people's names come out of your mouth. Ling Yunche, how many people are there in your family? Who has a good relationship with you and who has a bad relationship with you? I don't need to tell you in detail one by one, right?"
Ling Yunche felt cold all over and stared at Jinzhong. He really didn't understand why he, a chief steward in the imperial court, would stare at him so meticulously when he had fallen into such a miserable state.
He said with difficulty: "Why?"
Jinzhong said coldly: "Didn't you see me coming out of Yongshou Palace?"
Ling Yunche opened and closed his mouth: "But you said it was because of the emperor's secret order..."
Jinzhong didn't say anything, but just squinted his fox eyes and looked at him sinisterly.
Ling Yunche thought of his previous speculations, as if struck by lightning: "You and Yan Wan...you two..."
