Jiang Li raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, glanced at Eunuch Fu lightly, and walked slowly towards her room.

Seeing that she ignored him, Eunuch Fu secretly flashed a hint of anger.

He was used to relying on his status to give orders in the Imperial Household Department and enjoy the flattery of others.

Now the people who were bullied by him everywhere suddenly changed their ways and stepped on him. How could Eunuch Fu bear this huge gap? Eunuch Fu was like a madman. Although he knew that Jiang Li was now on duty in front of His Majesty and was a first-class eunuch that even his godfather couldn't afford to offend, he still couldn't swallow this breath and vowed to take revenge on Jiang Li for all the pain he had suffered! But before that, he had to make Jiang Li say in person that the two of them would shake hands and talk about peace in the future.

Only in this way, when Jiang Li falls into the trap and is seriously injured, others will not be the first to suspect herself.

They have already shaken hands and made peace, so how could he frame Jiang Li?

As long as he refuses to admit it, no one can hold him accountable!

Thinking of this, Eunuch Fu hurriedly chased after him on his crutches.

"Little Pear Master, Little Pear Master, please don't leave in such a hurry. Since I sincerely apologize to you, can we put aside our hatred with a smile?"

Eunuch Fu put on a flattering look and lowered his former condescending attitude to the lowest level in order to seek Jiang Li's forgiveness.

Jiang Li didn't rush to answer, but looked around in front of her door.

It rained last night and a blanket was spread in front of the door. Although everything seemed normal, combined with Eunuch Fu's abnormal behavior and the hints from the young eunuchs just now, Jiang Li was sure that there was something fishy under the blanket.

Seeing the half-open door of her room, Jiang Li looked around calmly, and then curled her lips when she saw the faintly visible wooden barrel on the door.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

"Little Pear Master, Little Pear Master, what do you think?"

Eunuch Fu was still chattering in her ear, and Jiang Li finally turned her head to look at him.

"Eunuch Fu is right. We are all servants in the palace. We should support each other and treat each other with courtesy."

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Eunuch Fu chuckled and said, "That's right, then, Eunuch Xiaolizi, can we say that we have made peace now?"

Jiang Li curled her lips and said, "It's too early to shake hands and make peace. Eunuch Fu, let me go back to the room and change clothes first."

The smile on Eunuch Fu's lips froze for a moment. Damn little pear, why didn't I realize she was so cunning before!

Seeing that Jiang Li was about to walk towards the room, Eunuch Fu hurriedly followed her.

"Little Pear Master, Little Pear Master, please don't leave in such a hurry. Shaking hands and making peace is just a matter of words. It won't be too late to change clothes after that!"

Eunuch Fu's eyes were always on Jiang Li's face, and he followed her to the door without noticing.

Jiang Li roughly estimated the distance and secretly stretched out her foot towards Eunuch Fu.

“Help, help!”

Eunuch Fu lost his balance and fell forward. He was so scared that he hurriedly reached out to grab the corner of Jiang Li's clothes, but Jiang Li dodged him by turning sideways.

With a bang, Eunuch Fu's fat body fell on the blanket in front of the door.

Crash——

Eunuch Fu lay halfway on the blanket, and the other half fell into the room. The lime water hidden on the door fell and poured all over his head!

"ah--"

The burning and stinging sensation came, and Eunuch Fu screamed in pain and rolled on the spot! Jiang Li crossed her arms and looked at Eunuch Fu rolling on the ground, sneering: "Oh, why did Eunuch Fu fall down for no reason?"

"Xiao Lizi! I'm not done with you!"

Eunuch Fu roared at the top of his lungs, then covered his head in embarrassment.

Eunuch Fu's voice spread throughout the Silijian. Several young eunuchs glanced at Jiang Li and moved towards Eunuch Fu step by step under pressure.

When Eunuch Fu, who was lying on the ground, was lifted up by everyone, they could see his miserable condition clearly.

His head, face and body were all covered with lime water, his whole body was burning, and his legs were pierced with sharp nails. Just looking at it made people's scalps numb! "Quick, get some water to wash Eunuch Fu!"

Several young eunuchs carried Eunuch Fu to the yard and hurriedly fetched water to wash the lime water off his body.

Crash——

Basin after basin of cold water was poured on Eunuch Fu, chilling him to the bone.

After more than a dozen basins of cold water, the white lime water on Eunuch Fu's body was finally washed away, revealing his fat head and big ears that were burned red.

"Eunuch Fu, are you okay?"

Several young eunuchs looked at Eunuch Fu nervously, trying to suppress the urge to vomit as they stared at his red and swollen face.

As low-ranking palace servants, they were not qualified to see the imperial physician when they were sick. They could either endure the illness on their own or take some medicine from the shop when they went out of the palace to buy groceries.

Eunuch Fu could only pull out the nail from his leg himself and apply some medicine.

"Ahhh, Qiu!"

Eunuch Fu, who was soaked to the bone, sneezed several times in a row.

"Hey, why are there so many nails on Eunuch Fu's legs? Let me take a look!"

Jiang Li pretended to be surprised and walked towards Eunuch Fu. When she was almost in front of him, she deliberately tripped, then fell straight towards Eunuch Fu who was lying on the ground, and fell into his legs!

"ah--"

As Jiang Li moved, the nail pierced into Eunuch Fu's leg went deeper into the flesh, causing Eunuch Fu to almost faint from the pain! How could Jiang Li let him faint?

She pretended to be panicked and climbed up, patting Eunuch Fu's leg with a concerned look on her face.

"Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu, are you okay?"

Eunuch Fu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak and could only scream.

After hammering the nails into Eunuch Fu's legs one by one, Jiang Li brushed the dust off her hands and stood up.

"Hurry up and carry Eunuch Fu into the house, remove the nails from his body, and then apply some medicine on him and take good care of him!"

Jiang Li was directing several young eunuchs, looking down at Eunuch Fu lying on the ground. Her tone was full of concern, but a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Several young eunuchs hurriedly lifted up Eunuch Fu and were about to send him back to the house when they heard Jiang Li say, "I don't know which damn beast put nails and lime water at my door. Look what has happened to Eunuch Fu!"

"No, this is clearly an attempt to murder someone. We cannot just let it go. I will go to the Imperial Study and report this to His Majesty. Ask His Majesty to send someone to find the real culprit!"

Eunuch Fu didn't expect that Jiang Li would actually bring this matter to the emperor. Seeing her turn around, Eunuch Fu panicked instantly.

“Come back!”

Eunuch Fu struggled in a hurry. Because he was wet all over, several young eunuchs slipped and threw him to the ground! Eunuch Fu's screams came again from behind.

Jiang Li turned around, her expression filled with indignation: "Don't be afraid, Eunuch Fu, I'll go to the Imperial Study and let His Majesty make the decision for you!"
