The eunuch defended Jiang Li under pressure, fearing that the emperor would be angry and punish Eunuch Xiao Lizi for disobeying the emperor's order.
They witnessed what happened last night with their own eyes. Eunuch Xiaolizi was indeed worried about His Majesty, so he broke into the Yangxin Palace despite their obstruction.
If I am punished by His Majesty for this, it would be too unfair! Fortunately, Song Chengyin did not give any further instructions after he finished his questioning, and the palace people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After changing into court robes, Song Chengyin walked straight out of the palace and left a word before leaving.
"Let him go back and rest. After he's rested, he can come back and serve you."
"yes!"
Several eunuchs followed Song Chengyin out of the Yangxin Palace, while the remaining eunuchs continued to stay in the Yangxin Palace waiting.
After the group left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a eunuch hurried towards the inner hall.
Seeing Jiang Li sleeping on the bed, he was shocked and hurriedly trotted to her side and patted her shoulder gently.
"Little Pear Master, Little Pear Master, wake up."
Jiang Li opened her eyes dazedly, and after seeing the familiar face, she muttered, "Eunuch Xiang?"
She straightened up, her mind still in chaos.
"Why did Eunuch Xiang come in? Where is His Majesty?"
"Hey, Eunuch Xiaolizi, His Majesty has already gone to court!"
Jiang Li woke up instantly with a start, and stood up from the ground despite the numbness in her legs. She straightened her tilted hat and said, "I'll go after His Majesty right away!"
She was about to run after him, but the eunuch grabbed her arm and said, "Eunuch Xiaolizi, there's no need to chase him. His Majesty has specially allowed you to go back and rest. You can serve His Majesty after you've had enough sleep!"
So good? Even a tyrant still has some conscience!
Jiang Li rubbed her numb arm from the pillow and walked out of the Yangxin Palace.
"Xiaoduo, what is the tyrant's favorability score now?"
[Host, it's already 20 percent. ]
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the suffering she had endured last night was not in vain. Her profit increased by 15% in an instant!
Jiang Li left the Yangxin Palace happily, carrying her clothes. However, she did not go directly back to the Silijian, but went to the Shangyi Bureau.
Eunuch Mao said that he had reported her body measurements to the Fashion Bureau yesterday, and her clothes should have been ready for today. She had made a fool of herself yesterday because she stepped on the corner of her clothes, and she didn't want to fall flat on her face again while walking on the street.
As soon as Jiang Li arrived at the door of the Clothing Bureau, she saw a group of palace servants already busy with their work, some dyeing cloth, some washing cloth, and the palace maids gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices while working.
Although the work in the Shangyi Bureau was tiring, it was much more comfortable than serving the emperor and the concubines.
After seeing Jiang Li, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her curiously.
Which palace is this eunuch from?
She was so beautiful! She was even more beautiful than the ladies they had seen before! Everyone looked at Jiang Li in amazement, and no one doubted her identity.
Concealing your identity and pretending to be a eunuch is a crime of deceiving the emperor and is punishable by death!
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Li walked into the clothing department holding her robe.
Everyone had just been looking at Jiang Li's face, and only now did they notice the palace dress she was wearing, which symbolized a first-class eunuch. They hurriedly lowered their heads for fear of bumping into her.
Jiang Li went straight to the clothing department and asked the nanny for her palace dress.
When she came out, she heard several palace maids talking in low voices.
"Have you heard that last night's rain caused the taro leaves by Yueyang Lake to bloom!"
"Really? Last year when I went to Yuehua Palace to deliver clothes, I passed by Yueyang Lake and saw taro leaves surrounding the lake. The lake was filled with mist, which was really a wonderful sight!"
“I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to visit Yueyang Lake before the taro leaves wither this year.”
Jiang Li's eyes flickered slightly as she wrote down the conversation between the few people.
Yueyang Lake, taro leaves.
The first-class eunuch who served His Majesty suddenly came over to talk to him. Several people were flattered and hurriedly stopped what they were doing and stood up.
"To answer your question, Master, Yueyang Lake is not far from the back hill of the Imperial Garden."
Jiang Li nodded to them and said, "Thank you."
After noting down the location of Yueyang Lake, Jiang Li left the Clothing Bureau with the tray containing the palace dresses.
"Xiaoduo, are there any tranquilizers in the system mall?"
[Yes, one bottle of tranquilizer costs 30 points, and the efficacy can last for half a month. Host, do you want to redeem it? ]
Jiang Li gritted her teeth and said, "Exchange."
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, and you can't conquer the emperor without sacrificing points!
A tranquilizer soon appeared in Jiang Li's hand. She calmly hid the thing in her sleeve and walked towards the Imperial Household Department.
On the other side, the Imperial Household Department.
Eunuch Zhang and Eunuch Fu are now homeless. Because they provoked Jiang Li, both of them were injured.
However, Eunuch Fu could still walk with the help of a cane, but Eunuch Zhang couldn't even stand up.
Eunuch Fu stood in the courtyard with a cane, directing several young eunuchs to set a trap to harm Jiang Li.
The damn little pear has harmed him like this, he must teach him a lesson!
"You two hid all the nails for me!"
"And you, take good care of that wooden barrel and don't let the lime water inside spill out!"
Eunuch Fu stood in the courtyard and pointed at several young eunuchs.
Several people did not dare to disobey his order, so they hid a handful of nails under the carpet in front of the door and placed a wooden bucket filled with lime water on top of the door.
After a few young eunuchs had done all this, they timidly came before Eunuch Fu.
"It's all put away. Does Eunuch Fu have any other instructions?"
Eunuch Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at them, with a warning tone in his voice: "That's all for now, keep busy. If anyone asks about this matter... I don't need to teach you what to say, right?"
“No, no need!”
Several people shook their heads like rattles.
Only then did Eunuch Fu withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
A few people had just left when Jiang Li came back from the Clothing Bureau holding a tray.
The moment her figure appeared in the Imperial Household Department, several eyes fell on her.
"Eunuch Xiaolizi is back? You must be tired after serving His Majesty for a whole day and night?"
Eunuch Fu, who always liked to bully Jiang Li, actually came up to her with a friendly look, and his already bean-sized eyes narrowed into slits.
Jiang Li's eyes darkened, thinking that something must be wrong when something was abnormal.
Jiang Li's eyes swept across the faces of several people in the courtyard and found that the young eunuchs were actually winking at her.
Eunuch Fu limped to Jiang Li and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Xiaoli. Last night I thought about what happened before and it was indeed my fault. I apologize to you. Do you think we can shake hands and make peace?"
Jiang Li concealed the deep meaning in her eyes and looked at Eunuch Fu with a forced smile.
"Is the sun rising from the west today?"
"What are you talking about, Eunuch Xiaolizi? We are all eunuchs serving in the palace. We will meet each other sooner or later. There is nothing we cannot overcome, right?"
