Leaving the Eunuch

"Master, is Lin going to stay overnight?"

It's already past midnight. If she's not sent back, she'll have to stay overnight. If she does, where should she stay?

The inner hall? Or the old Wen residence? He didn't know, so he came to ask.

Dong Yuzhong opened his eyes impatiently, hit him on the head with a whisk, and then lowered his voice to teach him.

"You, you really don't understand romance. If you go in and disturb His Majesty at such a tender time, you'll see what good will come of you!"

"Yes, yes, Master is right."

Seeing that he was very pious, Dong Yuzhong began to teach him carefully.

"Send someone to prepare the sedan chair. It can be carried by two people at a time. Ask the two people carrying the sedan chair to clean the soles of their shoes for me, so that Miss Lin will not fall."

"Didn't the master just say..."

"Don't worry, your master has served His Majesty for so many years, and I have never seen him violate the ancestral system. Just wait and see, Miss Lin will come out soon."

Qiu Ming nodded. He had served in front of the emperor for a shorter time than his master, so what the master said must be right.

Sure enough, not long after they finished talking, they heard the voice of Emperor Yuwen Hong from inside.

"Dong Yuzhong, find someone to send Lin Wanyi back to her palace."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Qiu Ming's admiration for his master went up a level, and he hurried to make arrangements.

When Dong Yuzhong walked into the inner room, he saw Lin Wanyi putting on her shoes.

He also saw the medicine box next to him and frowned all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, Miss, what happened?"

Lin Wanyi was a little embarrassed. After all, it was a bit embarrassing that she hit her knee, so she was embarrassed to tell others.

The emperor came to her rescue.

"Bring a sedan chair. Lin Wanyi has a foot injury and can't walk back. In addition, there is no need to go to Linzhi Palace to pay respects these days. You can order someone to tell Concubine Lin."

Lin Wanyi wanted to refuse, but then she thought that it was the emperor's golden words after all, and there were outsiders present, so it would not be good to refuse like this.

So she stopped thinking and said to the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will remember it."

She stayed in Qian'an Hall from noon to late at night today. Even if she wanted to to stay out of attention, it would be difficult.

Instead of going to Linzhi Palace to listen to those sour words, it would be better to stay in her palace to recuperate.

So Lin Wanyi said goodbye, and Qiu Ming supported her to go out and get on the sedan chair, all the way to Yihua Palace.

Because it had rained outside, the air was particularly fresh.

It was just too late, so it was a little cold.

The sedan was not big, but it was filled with cushions and pillows, as well as a lambskin blanket, which helped keep out the cold.

I have to say that the people in front of the emperor are very careful!

Whether it was the preparation of the sedan or the things placed inside, Lin Wanyi felt comfortable and at ease.

The sedan was delivered to the door of Yihua Palace. Not only Chunqi and Xia An were waiting for her, but even Xiao Luzi was there.

"You haven't returned to the Inner Court yet?"Lin Wanyi asked curiously.

Xiao Luzi couldn't hide his excitement.

"Not long after the young lady went to Qian'an Hall, the master sent someone to say that the servant would serve the young lady here in the future and there was no need to go back."

After saying this, even Lin Wanyi was a little surprised.

After thinking about it, she looked at Qiu Ming who was standing next to her.

"Eunuch Qiu, this is..."

"Don't worry, my lady. This is the emperor's intention. It would be against the rules to have no eunuchs serving in this palace, so her ordered the inner court to arrange it."

"So that's the case. I'm sorry to have troubled Your Majesty."

After she finished speaking, she saw Qiu Ming becoming more respectful.

After Chunqi and Xia An helped Lin Wanyi to walk into the door, Eunuch Qiu walked to Xiao Luzi and gave him some pointers.

"You are a lucky person. You must serve Lady Lin wholeheartedly in the future. Do you understand?"

How could Xiao Luzi not know that this was a piece of God's blessing falling from the sky.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Qiu. I will do my best!"

After giving instructions, Qiu Mingcai took his men back.

In the left hall, Chunqi and Xia An were both distressed.

"How could the lady be so careless? The injury is so serious that it will at least take half a month to heal"

"It's okay. It's just a little troublesome to walk. It won't affect anything else. You don't know that when I woke up, I saw His Majesty's face. I was so scared that I knocked myself hard on the table."

"Ah, I don't know what to say!"

Chunqi looked at Lin Wanyi angrily and helplessly, while Xia An opened the bottle and sniffed it carefully.

"It is indeed a gift from the emperor. It contains several herbs that can promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. It is very expensive."

Lin Wanyi smiled. This medicine is really good. After using it, her pain was greatly reduced. Otherwise, she would not have the energy to chat with the emperor for so long. Taking a deep breath, Lin Wanyi had to hide the little thoughts in her heart deeper.

With her ability, it would take years of planning to gain a foothold in the harem.

Right now, the future of her whole family and her own life are threatened by others. If she lets them control her, I am afraid she will not end well.

Therefore, the reason why she talked about those old things today was that she had other thoughts in mind. At least, the favor can make her temporarily stable, right?

If she can stay stable in the harem, it would also be a good thing for her family outside.

"It's just that this plan relies on manipulating the emperor's feelings." When she thought of this, she felt reluctant.

"Get some water and settle down."

"Okay."

Chunqi and Xia An got busy, while Lin Wanyi looked at the moon hanging high outside, somewhat bored.

Perhaps because of the guilt, she didn't sleep well that night.

When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were dark and bruised.

Xia An handed her a cup of warm water and asked with concern.

"My lady, does the wound hurts a lot? I see that you are very tired."

Lin Wanyi's thoughts were difficult to share it with outsiders.

Even if the other party was Chunqi and Xia An, it would be safer if one less person knew.

So she had to go along with her words.

"It hurts a lot."

Xia An walked over and lifted up her trouser legs. Sure enough, the bruises spread even more.

The whole knee was unbearable to look at. If you didn't know, you would think she was tortured.

"After you wash up, I will apply medicine on you."

"Okay."

"But how are you going to pay respects? You can't go limping."

Lin Wanyi wanted to tell him that His Majesty had exempted her from paying respects, but she heard Chunqi who had just walked in from outside.

"What a coincidence, someone from Linzhi Palace just sent a message saying that the concubines in the six palaces don't have to pay respects to the imperial concubine before the Dragon Boat Festival. They can wait until after the festival."

Oh?

This is a coincidence.

But it's better this way, she will be less conspicuous. Since she doesn't have to pay respects, she can just stay in her palace.
