"What's going on?"
The prince sent someone to ask why the toilet collapsed for no reason.
Eunuch Dong's mouth twisted as he replied in shock, "I went to check. It was Chief Clerk Zhou who was in a hurry to go to the bathroom. He climbed over the wall to the East Palace to use it, but he was too heavy and accidentally fell... fell in..."
The prince: “…”
Lin Yue: "..."
This is totally off the mark.
Lin Yue asked with concern: "He's not dead, is he?"
[I remember a famous person in history who fell into the toilet and drowned in feces while using it. How come I encountered the same thing now?]
Eunuch Dong quickly replied, "No, but I stink. I've asked a few eunuchs to get me some water to wash myself. I won't be able to return to the Qinzheng Palace to serve you for a while."
The prince waved his hand dismissively and said, "Just send someone to tell them. Leave now."
Eunuch Dong quickly stepped back. It seemed that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He was really speechless.
Lin Yue chuckled, and the prince saw this and quickly explained, "This steward Zhou is a bit fat, I'm sorry to have made the imperial aunt laugh."
Lin Yue waved her hand and said, "These are all trivial matters. It doesn't matter. Please give me the list of supplies as soon as possible so that I can make preparations."
[Next is my business with the system, you guys can take a good rest.]
The prince was deeply moved and said quickly, "Don't worry, aunt. I'll pack it up and send it over soon."
Lin Yue nodded and returned to Songyue Palace.
Not long after, the prince handed a list to Lin Yue.
It said what was needed: 100,000 cotton coats, 10,000 kilograms of fuel, 20,000 kilograms of medicine for wounds, and 1 million kilograms of food and fodder, etc.
Lin Yue asked the system: [How is it? How much merit is needed to redeem it?]
The system said: [That's too much. At least one million merits are needed, and there can't be any accidents.]
Lin Yue asked: [Does the unexpected mean that the exchange cannot be made suddenly? ]
System: [The host cannot die suddenly or turn evil, otherwise the merit will be frozen.]
Lin Yue was stunned: [Fuck, it can be frozen? Isn't this the same as depositing money in the bank?]
System: [It’s more serious than that. The bank doesn’t care if you’re a shady person or not.]
Lin Yue: “…” That’s true.
After careful consideration, Lin Yue said, "We don't necessarily have to deliver all of them. Mu Lixin will definitely focus on checking for food and cotton clothes. It's winter now, and without these two things, we're tantamount to committing suicide."
"We're openly sending medicinal herbs and oil, using the official route. There's no reason for him to refuse to let us pass."
[We then instructed him to send cotton clothes and food supplies later. We gave him all the face and money. He thought he was in control of the initiative and would not take us seriously.]
System: [I think this method is feasible, and the amount of merit required will be greatly reduced. Just try harder and you'll be fine.]
Lin Yue immediately gained confidence and quickly returned to the East Palace.
This time she did not let Nanny Zhang lead the way, but went alone.
Halfway through, she saw a sinister eunuch staring with ill intent at a little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
He suddenly kicked the maid's lower body, and the maid screamed in surprise. Lin Yue angrily shouted, "Stop!"
"You bastard, which palace eunuch are you from? How dare you be so presumptuous!"
The eunuch was startled at first, but then when he saw that Lin Yue was alone, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"I wonder which palace your majesty is from. How come I have never seen her before?"
"I am Dong Xuan, the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace."
Lin Yue had just met Dong Xuan today, and the person in front of her was not him at all. She sneered and said, "If that's the case, then come with me to the East Palace!"
The eunuch was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please go first."
At this time, Lin Yue was already on guard against him, and the moment she turned around, she exchanged for a powerful pill and ate it.
Sure enough, a maidservant suddenly screamed from behind: "Your Majesty, run! He's going to kill you!"
Such arrogance is simply intolerable.
The moment he turned around, Lin Yue punched hard. With a loud "bang", the man's fist broke with a crack.
He didn't even have time to wail. His shocked eyes were filled with terror. Then he groaned and ran away in terror.
Lin Yue didn't chase after him, but helped the little palace maid up and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
The young palace maid was terrified and whispered, "Eunuch Dong from the East Palace."
Lin Yue was very surprised and said, "That's fake, he is not."
"ah?"
The young palace maid was extremely shocked and seemed to have no idea of the eunuch's specific identity.
Lin Yue said: "It's okay, these are the only eunuchs in charge of the palace. Judging from the clothes he is wearing, he is of the fifth rank. I will ask the prince to check later."
"Come with me."
The young palace maid quickly said, "I am responsible for feeding the goldfish in the Imperial Garden. Without being summoned, I cannot go to the Eastern Palace privately, otherwise I will be beaten."
Lin Yue said: "It's okay, I'm Princess Ding, I'll take you there."
"By the way, what's your name?"
The young palace maid said nervously, "My servant is Jin Yu. The eunuch in charge gave me this name. He said it would be easier to remember."
Lin Yue nodded and helped her forward.
Jin Yu's lower body was badly injured and her face turned pale after just a few steps. Lin Yue couldn't bear to see it, but didn't dare to let her wait there.
Fortunately, Nanny Zhang and Manager Deng came over, and Lin Yue told them what had happened.
Aunt Zhang was horrified and said, "Pretending to be a senior eunuch from the Eastern Palace and injuring someone is a crime that could cost you your life. We must investigate thoroughly."
"Don't worry, Princess. We'll send someone to bring the gold and jade over right away."
Deng Wei immediately found two young eunuchs and carried Jin Yu to the East Palace on a stretcher.
When the Crown Prince heard that the Empress's aunt had come again, he hurried out to greet her. However, he happened to see this scene and was immediately surprised and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Yue said: "On my way here, I passed by the Imperial Garden and saw someone pretending to be Eunuch Dong who was beside you, trying to kill this little palace maid."
"If this little palace maid dies, there will be no evidence, and others will not be able to suspect you."
"The scary thing is, when I stepped forward to stop him and exposed his identity, he actually wanted to kill me too."
"What!!" The Crown Princess rushed over and turned pale with shock when she heard this!
Whoever is such a bastard dares to do such a thing will be cut into pieces when she finds him!
The Crown Prince was also shocked and said, "This matter cannot be tolerated. Send someone to inform the Emperor and he must investigate it thoroughly!"
Lin Yue nodded and said calmly, "But don't worry too much. I broke all five fingers on his right hand. I'm sure we can find it."
Prince: “…”? !
Crown Princess: "..."! ! !
