Chapter 202: Weak Palace Maid VS Eunuch Brother (11)
"This person is now placed outside the palace. If Your Majesty wants to summon him, you can come to the palace at any time." Ju Heng knelt down at the emperor's feet, presented the tray and said, "This is Eunuch Wang's gift to you. I really don't dare to take credit for it. But Eunuch Wang is really humble, so I took the initiative to present it to Your Majesty."
"Reward. Must reward." The emperor lifted the red cloth and held the pill in his palm, looking up at the sky and laughing.
He concluded that no one in the palace dared to deceive him. Moreover, he actually got the elixir of immortality in the banned book. Isn't this a hint that he is about to become the greatest emperor in history?
Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Eunuch Wang wiped the cold sweat from his head, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
When Ju Heng told him about this matter that day, he was still a little disdainful, but he didn't expect that his godson was really capable and actually did all these things by himself without letting him worry at all.
Of course, he would take the benefits. Of course, if the elixir is fake, or something bad happens, the blame will naturally have to be borne by his godson. However, his godson does not have many connections now, and he dare not offend him, the chief eunuch.
Seeing that Ju Heng actually used such means to please the emperor, Concubine Hui was very ashamed, but she was looking forward to the matter being exposed to see how they would end up, so she coldly tugged at the back of her robe and went back to her Xixiu Palace.
When the emperor took Shi Yi away, Shi Yi deliberately looked back at her brother, her eyes full of tiny worries.
The elixir of immortality, such a thing naturally does not exist in this historical dynasty, but what is the purpose of Ju Heng setting up such a situation? Will it be exposed?
Ju Heng saw her worries, but did not explain anything, and his eyes did not change at all.
He only knew that as long as he could protect his sister, everything he did was worth it.
Liuying Lane.
This is the most prosperous alley in Kyoto, but it is because of those "juniors". Anyone who claims to be a scholar is a liar if he has not been to this alley.
Ju Heng, disguised as a young master, pushed open a wooden door with familiarity.
Ying'er saw him coming and hugged him, tears immediately falling: "You bastard, I miss you so much."
In fact, she was secretly observing the eunuch's face.
She didn't want to be whipped by him with a whip for saying the wrong thing like last time. It took a whole month for the scars on her body to heal. Although he gave her the best ointment, she always felt like there were marks of whips on her body, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Let go." Ju Heng had a cold face and didn't even look at her.
Ever since he learned about the royal banned books from the old eunuchs in the palace, he had asked his literate subordinates to read them, so he discovered the secret.
According to the book's record of the appearance of the beauties that Gaozu once liked, he spent a lot of effort to find several similar women in the capital. But those who were "eliminated" by him were either stupid as pigs, or did not understand romance, or their skin was not good enough. Only the one he carefully selected was as cunning as a fox, and she knew how to please men early on, and her skin was also kept white. The only flaw was that she was too greedy.
But it was because of her greed that he valued her that day.
If she was really as pure as his sister, he would not have the heart to use her.
"Master, I have such a good appearance and such a good figure, why can't you bear not to touch me..." Ying'er was very resentful.
This was the first time she was defeated by a man.
"Have you memorized everything I asked you to memorize?" Ju Heng was afraid that she would pounce on him again, so he deliberately found a place farther away to stand.
Ying'er waved the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said listlessly, "I've memorized it by heart."
Although she didn't understand the point of memorizing those things, since people paid her a high price, she had to work hard.
Her mother was cheated of the money she had saved all her life by a man, and she had been in this Yingying Lane since she was born, and her mind was full of money. After all, her mother was her precedent. So, it's easier to get things done with money. She only recognized money.
"Do you want to be the richest person in the world?" Ju Heng looked into her eyes and saw the ambition hidden in her eyes.
"What are you trying to trick me into doing?" Ying'er interrupted with a sweet smile.
"Do you want to stay in this Yingying Lane for the rest of your life and be the pink and fragrant on the fans of those literati and poets? Or do you want to be like your mother, who was forced to find a man to rely on in the end but..." Ju Heng saw that her face had turned cold and stopped talking in the second half.
"It's really thanks to you that you think highly of Ying'er." In the blink of an eye, she put away the coldness in her eyes, and immediately leaned over and snuggled up to Ju Heng with a smile.
This time Ju Heng did not avoid her, but lifted her chin with his hand, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Ying'er had never seen such a beautiful pair of eyes among her guests. She seemed to see herself in these eyes, and it was still the most innocent self when she was young.
The next second, the cold words in her ears made her sober up.
"Does the position of queen make you tempted?" Ju Heng let go of his hand. He believed that such conditions were tempting enough.
Ying'er patted her face. It was so fascinating just now that she almost forgot that the man in front of her was a rootless eunuch who didn't understand human emotions at all, and was particularly insidious.
However, this position that all women in the world desire, can the eunuch in front of her really help her get it?
Ju Heng saw the doubts in her eyes clearly, took out a damaged portrait from his sleeve, and spread it on the table to admire it.
"Who is this?" Ying'er felt that she looked about 70% similar to herself. If she didn't look carefully, she might have mistaken the woman in the painting for herself.
"Looks familiar, right?" Ju Heng rolled up the painting and handed it to her.
Ying'er nodded obediently, "I always feel that she and I have some connection."
"The things I asked you to recite before were all about her." Ju Heng took out a bag of silver from his sleeve, put it on the table, and turned to walk out the door.
"What do you mean?" Ying'er now felt that she seemed to be caught in a very deep conspiracy. But she also felt very excited.
Although her worthless life was often trampled on in this prostitutes' alley, she also wanted to live like a normal girl. If there was a chance to rise to the top overnight, how could she give it up? Moreover, changing her appearance and having a new life was a temptation for her.
"As long as you treat her as yourself, everything you want will be within your reach." Ju Heng knew that the pie he had drawn was swallowed by the other party willingly.
