Just as Eunuch Wang sent Concubine Shu, who was unwilling to accept reality, to the sedan chair, he heard Helian Jue calling him.

He crawled all the way into the house and saw his master massaging Lady Ning's knees.

Eunuch Wang immediately stood up straight, lowered his head and looked at his nose, mouth and heart. After all, this scene was really indecent and should not be viewed!

Helian Jue, however, seemed to be oblivious to the surroundings as he instructed Eunuch Wang: "Send a few secret guards to Tingyuxuan and have them protect Ning'er well."

Qin Yanning didn't expect that Helian Jue would allocate secret guards to her. Just as she was about to refuse, Helian Jue blocked her.

"I have been on the throne for ten years and have always followed the rules. It would be fine if I could make an exception for you."

Since Helian Jue said so, Qin Yanning naturally had no reason to refuse and thanked him sweetly.

Helian Jue looked at the cute and lovely Qin Yanning in front of him, and felt that the depression he had suffered in the court recently had dissipated a lot.

Eunuch Wang looked at his master's worthless appearance and tried hard to suppress his smile for a long time.

Eunuch Wang thought to himself, could the master's current state be the legendary old house on fire? His master had been cold and indifferent for more than 30 years, and finally he had come to his senses!

Qin Yanning didn't notice that Eunuch Wang was trying to hold back his laughter. She was enjoying Helian Jue's massage service.

It's true, a man in his thirties who still maintains the habit of practicing martial arts has scorching heat in his palms even in the cold February.

Through the outer skirt and petticoat, Qin Yanning only felt waves of warmth on her knees.

As Helian Jue was rubbing his stomach, he heard Qin Yanning's stomach growl. They were both startled, and Qin Yanning's ears suddenly turned red.

This time, she wasn't acting, she really felt a little embarrassed!

Helian Jue realized belatedly that Qin Yanning was hungry. Concubine Shu's disturbance had made them forget that it was already lunchtime.

Eunuch Wang had followed Helian Jue for decades, so he still had some sense. Without waiting for Helian Jue to remind him, he took the initiative to step down and serve the meal.

After lunch, Helian Jue kept his promise and took Qin Yanning to interrogate Wan Bao.

Wan Bao was imprisoned in a secret cell in the palace. It was dark and there was no sunlight. There were many horrifying torture instruments. Helian Jue was afraid of scaring Qin Yanning, so he asked the secret guards to bring Wan Bao to the Yangxin Palace before letting Qin Yanning see him.

Eunuch Wang also instructed the secret guards who were guarding Wanbao to use cold water to wash off the smell of blood on Wanbao's body so as not to offend the delicate Concubine Ning.

Inside the Yangxin Palace, Qin Yanning looked at Wan Bao, who was kneeling on the ground in shackles and looked haggard, and felt as if he were in another world.

In the original owner's memory, Wan Bao did pamper her after he forcibly took her back to the mansion. However, as long as the original owner showed any abnormality, he would threaten her with the safety of the Qin family.

Later, Wan Bao got a new lover and ignored the original owner, allowing her to be bullied by other concubines and maids in the Wan family's backyard. Until she was transferred to King Liang like a commodity, Wan Bao did not treat her as a human being.

Until his death, the original owner hated Wan Bao to the core, but suffered from the inability to retaliate against him. And now, Wan Bao was like a pile of rotten meat lying on the ground of the Yangxin Palace, allowing Qin Yanning to slaughter him.

Wan Bao looked at Qin Yanning with a surprised expression.

How could this peasant girl be in the palace, and so close to His Majesty? Could it be that His Majesty had already taken a fancy to this peasant girl before he made a move on her?

In a flash, Wanbao's brain, which was only used to seduce women, finally came in handy and allowed him to guess the truth of the matter.

When Wan Bao thought that he almost touched the woman that His Majesty liked, he didn't care that the wounds he was beaten in the dark cell were still painful. He knocked his head heavily on the ground and begged Helian Jue for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I deserve death. Please spare my life."

Helian Jue saw Wanbao begging for mercy but not saying a word, and Wanbao did not dare to stop. He knocked his head hard until it bled. The whole Yangxin Palace was filled with the sound of his kowtows.

Wanbao knew that for him, face didn't matter, the most important thing was to live a good life.

Helian Jue didn't respond, but Qin Yanning took the initiative to speak.

"You said you were wrong, what was wrong?"

Wan Bao looked at Qin Yanning. She was sitting next to Helian Jue with a peaceful expression on her face. Perhaps because she had dressed up and was wearing some flattering jewelry and hairpins, Wan Bao actually felt that she was even more beautiful than when he first met her.

It was so beautiful that he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Wanbao like this, Helian Jue was even more certain that he could not spare his life.

Ning'er is now his concubine, and he cannot tolerate any man having any other thoughts about her.

Perhaps it was because Helian Jue's gaze was too captivating, Wanbao shuddered for no reason.

Only then did he come to his senses. No matter how beautiful Qin Yanning was in the palace, she was now the emperor's emperor's woman. If he looked at her like this, he would definitely offend the emperor again.

Wan Bao cursed inwardly, feeling unlucky, and fell to the ground, saying, "I was wrong to covet the Empress and offend her precious body. I beg for forgiveness, Your Majesty and Her Majesty."

Did you offend the Empress?

Qin Yanning felt furious when he heard this. Even though he had been locked up by Helian Jue for so long, Wan Bao still believed that his only mistake was that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended.

"What if I'm just a little farm girl?"

"Do you think that with the power of the Wan family, no matter how you humiliate me or put me in any situation, it's just what I deserve because of my status?"

Qin Yanning quickly walked up to Wan Bao and slapped him hard in the face.

Even Helian Jue was shocked by Qin Yanning's actions. After she finished beating her, Helian Jue left his seat and carefully checked if her little hand was hurt.

Of course, Qin Yanning didn't just want to slap Wanbao. She also took the opportunity to stick Xiaohuiqi on Wanbao's face. Otherwise, she would have felt that this slap had dirty her hands.

Wan Bao was stunned by Qin Yanning's blow. He knelt on the ground and continued to beg for mercy. He knew that he had just said the wrong thing and felt extremely miserable.

Qin Yanning ignored Wan Bao because she had already thought of how to torture and retaliate against him.

Qin Yanning looked at Helian Jue and said slowly, "Ning'er is so bold as to ask His Majesty to grant Wanbao castration."

Killing is not the right thing to do. Qin Yanning doesn't want Wan Bao's evil deeds to be wiped out by his death.

Helian Jue didn't expect Qin Yanning to come up with such a punishment. He couldn't help but ask, "Why does Ning'er want to punish me like this?"

Qin Yanning smiled brightly and talked freely.

"Young Master Wan drugged Ning'er so skillfully that day. It seems this wasn't his first time. Ning'er suspects he must have touched many other decent women before."

Helian Jue didn't say anything, but nodded to confirm Qin Yanning's guess.

Those women who were favored by Wan Bao, those with better luck could at most become concubines in the Wan family, while those with unlucky luck would lose their lives. Based on this point alone, Wan Bao deserved to die.

Seeing that Helian Jue was sure, Qin Yanning continued speaking.

"Since that thing is causing trouble, then castrating it would be a good way to restore his six senses to peace of mind."

Helian Jue looked at Qin Yanning's cherry lips opening and closing, and she actually uttered such a cold word, and he felt a chill in his lower body.
