But the one who came today is different. He is the Censor from the Supervisory Yuan.
Jinzhong had accompanied Emperor Mingzong to court several times and recognized this Censor Song, who loved to impeach and impeach, and was a loyal minister favored by Emperor Mingzong.
Jinzhong immediately put on a smile and said, "Why did Censor Song come to our Imperial Household Department? This young eunuch was not very skillful and almost made a big mistake, so we punished him."
Song Yushi didn't give Jinzhong a good face. He helped Cheng Ying, who had been tortured half to death, up from the ground and said to Jinzhong coldly: "It was such a small mistake that the Imperial Household Department abused private punishment and wanted to beat someone to death? We are both eunuchs, so why don't you treat others as human beings, Jinzhong?"
After saying this, Censor Song helped Cheng Ying out. He was a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. After sending Cheng Ying back to her cell, he went to the Imperial Hospital again and asked a medical officer to see Cheng Ying.
Then he went back to the Imperial Household Department to look for the memorial and took it to the Yangxin Palace.
Not long after, the eunuchs from the Yangxin Palace came to the Silijian and asked Jinzhong to come over.
The eunuch who delivered the message revealed to Jinzhong that Censor Song had filed a complaint against him in front of the emperor.
Jinzhong was not panicked. He knelt on the ground before the emperor and began to wipe his tears. He had served Emperor Mingzong for more than ten years. Emperor Mingzong was a benevolent emperor. Although he did not use eunuchs, he was very concerned about the old people around him.
The victim Cheng Ying was also carried to the Yangxin Palace.
Seeing the wounds on his body, Emperor Mingzong frowned. Jinzhong had been observing the emperor's expression and cried, saying that his old bones were becoming less and less useful. That's why he became stricter with his subordinates, hoping to train some smart people to serve the emperor as soon as possible.
Emperor Mingzong asked Cheng Ying, "Is there any private affection involved?"
Cheng Ying's face turned pale, and she said calmly, "It was the younger one who was incompetent. Eunuch Jinzhong was just teaching him how to do things, and there was no bullying involved."
Censor Song on the side sighed lightly, but did not insist on the matter any more.
Jinzhong was reprimanded by Emperor Mingzong, but probably because Emperor Mingzong did not like outsiders to get their hands into the palace, he let the matter go.
Although Cheng Ying helped Jinzhong cover up in front of Emperor Mingzheng, Jinzhong was still unhappy. After returning to the Imperial Household Department, he arranged for someone to go to Cheng Ying's room and destroy all the medicines that the imperial physician had prescribed for him during the day. He was determined to make Cheng Ying suffer more, preferably even lose her life.
The next day, Cheng Ying's injuries worsened again and he developed a high fever. The wounds were painful and his feverish body felt sore and weak. He was extremely thirsty, but he couldn't even get up to get some water.
His consciousness became increasingly light, and just when he was about to pass out from the fever, he felt a stream of moisture on his lips, and the sweet water flowed in through his cracked lips.
The burning forehead was carefully wiped by a wet handkerchief. Cheng Ying opened his eyes with great effort and vaguely saw a young girl sitting beside his bed, gently helping him to treat the wound on his back.
"Jiaojiao..." Cheng Ying murmured silently.
The woman applied the medicine more gently and said softly, "Are you awake? I'm Ah Wu, from Concubine Song's palace."
