Chapter 193: A Weak Palace Maid VS Her Eunuch Brother (2)

The Imperial Household Department.

"Brother, you have blood on you. What happened?" When she sneaked out, she saw the blood stains on Ju Heng's robe and thought he was injured. She kept turning over his body to find the wound.

She almost died in the first month after she was sent to the palace. It was Ju Heng who passed by and found her and risked his life to invite Concubine Hui, the mortal enemy of the Imperial Concubine, so that she could escape. Not because of their brother and sister status, but because of this life-saving grace, she valued Ju Heng very much. She didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of

his previous life. Ju Heng looked at her worried look and kept smiling foolishly.

Although he was a little eunuch in the harem that everyone could trample on, as long as he had his sister's care, he felt satisfied. Even if he suffered more, it didn't seem to matter.

At the same time, he was also afraid. If he hadn't taken a second look out of curiosity when he passed by Chuxiu Palace that time, his sister would have disappeared quietly in this world. Then the rest of his life will be meaningless!

"Brother, you are injured, where is it?!" Shi Yi did not see any damage to his clothes, and began to roll up his sleeves to find the wound.

"Silly." Ju Heng patted her head like when they were playing when they were children, and whispered: "This is not my blood."

"If it is not yours, whose is it?" Shi Yi looked at him with watery eyes, as if she was going to cry in the next second.

"It is the imperial concubine..." Before he finished speaking, Shi Yi covered his mouth.

"Brother, disaster comes from the mouth." Shi Yi's eyes were already filled with tears.

"It is really the imperial concubine's." Seeing her crying, Ju Heng was anxious.

He forgot that what he had just done was a secret decree issued by the emperor, and it would not be announced publicly in the harem until tomorrow.

"The imperial concubine has been favored in this harem for many years, and there are many eyes and ears. Last time, I just said something behind her back and almost lost my life. Have you forgotten it?" Shi Yi bit his hand hard, hoping that he could remember his painful lesson.

"Of course I remember, I remember it clearly." The place where Ju Heng was bitten was numb. He looked at his sister with heartache and murmured, "I will never let you suffer any injustice again."

He killed Yuan'er, who had once despised her, with his own hands; the imperial concubine who almost killed her was the one who was poisoned by him personally. In order to let the imperial concubine experience the process of death, he deliberately diluted the poison a little so that she could feel the process of death more slowly.

His hands, which had never even killed a chicken, now had two lives stained. But he was happy with it, because the person in front of him was his sister, his biological sister who had depended on each other since childhood.

If anyone touches his sister, he will drag him down to hell even if he risks his own life!

"Brother, live. We just need to live well." Shi Yi stared into his eyes, as if he wanted to see deep into his eyes, and said cautiously: "When I am 25 years old, I can leave the palace. At that time, I will do some small business and wait for you to come out. The two of us brothers and sisters can live in harmony. I also want to save money for my brother and find one or two homeless children so that you can spend your old age in peace."

Ju Heng could certainly understand his sister's feelings for him, but it was precisely because of understanding that he felt more painful.

On that day, if he had not believed what his aunt said, as long as he entered the palace for his cousin, she would have chosen a good family for his sister to marry, and he would not have become a useless person in this palace now. After he entered the palace, his aunt immediately changed her mind and sent his sister to the harem. She was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the imperial concubine, but because of an unintentional remark, she angered the imperial concubine and was almost beaten to death by the imperial concubine's men.

It was him, he took the initiative to enter the harem, causing his sister to suffer with him.

"It's my brother's fault, it's all my brother..." He reached out to touch Shi Yi's cheek, his eyes full of tears. He hated his incompetence, his insignificance, and his weakness.

"Brother, we must leave the palace alive." Shi Yi wiped the tears from his face, but his own cheeks, which were as big as a palm, were wet.

As a palace maid and eunuch at the bottom, it is not easy to survive in this harem.

"Okay." Ju Heng choked in his throat, but he knew that he had to fight to survive in this dangerous harem.

He only has such a sister, and he can't let her suffer injustice in this harem again.

Xixiu Palace.

"My queen, my people are back." Eunuch Wu stood beside the dressing table, with a little flattery in his expression. The one

in front of him was Hui Fei, who was favored by the current emperor, and Bu Qi, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was deeply trusted by the emperor, was her stepbrother. This imperial concubine with a huge family power was overthrown by this seemingly harmless person in front of him, which was enough to show his heart and skills. Following such a master, there must be a lot of benefits.

"Did you see her die with your own eyes?" Concubine Hui picked up the hair care cream with her delicate hands and applied it to the ends of her hair, and began to massage gently.

The emperor liked her hair the most, and she was also the most attentive to her hair, never letting anyone else do it.

Eunuch Wu knew her habits, so he didn't come forward, but lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm back. I'm waiting outside the palace."

"Which little eunuch can catch the eye of Eunuch Wu and do such an errand?" Concubine Hui was openly looking at her appearance in the mirror, but secretly observing his expression.

Eunuch Wu was famous in the harem for his ability to change his attitude according to the situation. He would lean towards whichever master was favored. If she didn't do something, she was afraid that she would not be able to calm this fence-sitter.

"It's not someone close to me, but a little eunuch who just entered the palace not long ago." Eunuch Wu's forehead was full of hot sweat.

If he hadn't come to Concubine Hui earlier to ask for credit and reward, he wouldn't have asked such an important task as bestowing poisoned wine to a little eunuch.

"Oh~" Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows, turned around and asked, "I'm curious about which little eunuch can win your favor?"

"It's just an ordinary little eunuch." Eunuch Wu refused.

He knew his reputation in the harem. He also saw that Concubine Hui was taking the opportunity to warn him and make him behave himself.

"Let him in, isn't he waiting outside the palace? Those who work for me should be rewarded in person." Concubine Hui let down her hair, and the maid who served Concubine Hui immediately handed over the prepared towel.

"He is young and has never seen a big figure like Concubine Hui. I'm afraid of disturbing the queen." Eunuch Wu's right hand trembled habitually.

This Concubine Hui insisted on seeing the people around him. Was she trying to promote him to embarrass him?

"Then I have to see them. I have been in this palace for five or six years. I haven't seen new faces around me for a long time. It's boring." She threw the handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands into the hands of the serving maid.

The maid was startled and didn't catch the handkerchief. She knelt down and admitted her mistake.
