Soon the sound of beatings was heard in the yard.
When Lin An was dragged out, the servants in the Qianqing Palace were so frightened that they dared not move.
The man who was beaten was none other than Eunuch Lin An.
Eunuch Lin is no ordinary man. He has been with the Emperor since he was young and has been serving him since he was a child.
Considering the friendship they had when they were still in Qianlong period, this kind of affection is extraordinary.
Among all the people in the Qianqing Palace, no one knows His Majesty's moods as well as Lin An.
There has long been a rumor that Eunuch Lin An is the one who is most favored by His Majesty.
What on earth did Eunuch Lin do to make His Majesty so angry?
There was a constant sound of boards falling in the yard.
All the servants in the entire Qianqing Palace fell silent, not daring to breathe.
After thirty strokes of the board, Lin An was already breathing in long breaths and out short breaths.
The servants who were beating him with the stick had no idea how Eunuch Lin had offended His Majesty, but fortunately, they knew their limits.
After thirty strokes of the board, fortunately the man did not faint.
Lin An was helped up from the bench.
Cold sweat was pouring down his body and face, and his back was covered in blood. But he didn't dare to pick it up, and bowed respectfully to the ground.
"I thank His Majesty for the reward."
After he kowtowed hard on the ground, Lin An's body weakened and he left holding the little eunuch's hand.
"Grandpa Lin, what on earth is going on?"
The one supporting Lin An was his apprentice Xiao Baozi. Naturally, he was also scared when Lin An was punished.
You know, it was still fine the moment before, but in just a short while, the man suffered such a severe punishment.
Thirty strokes of the board not only hit Lin An's body, but mostly hit his face.
Even though he was the chief eunuch in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he was punished like this. His status in the Palace of Heavenly Purity will no longer be the same as before.
"You don't need to ask too many questions. Just do your duty as a servant."
Lin An was beaten pretty hard, and he'll need to rest for at least a month before he can recover.
He was helped to lie on the bed, cold sweat dripping down his face from the pain, but he still held his little boy's hand and said a few words from his heart.
"Your Majesty must be in a bad mood these days, so just be careful to serve him, and don't ask too much about other things."
Xiao Baozi naturally agreed.
He was originally Lin An's apprentice, and because he saw that he was smart, he promoted him a few times. Now that Lin An himself has been punished, Xiao Baozi naturally doesn't dare to take advantage of Qiao again.
"I will definitely remember it." Xiao Baozi helped Lin An lie down.
He turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he lowered his voice and leaned close to Lin An's ear to ask, "Godfather, is your accident related to Shu Wanyi?"
Lin An glanced at him inconspicuously.
The lip-colored face trembled, but finally nodded.
The disaster he encountered today was caused by him releasing Shu Wanyi into the Qing Palace.
It was not unfair for His Majesty to punish him with the beating.
As a servant, he had no right to guess the Emperor's mood.
They released people into the palace without permission.
When Lin An thought of Shu Wanyi's naked appearance in the hall, he couldn't help but shudder.
He saw Shu Wanyi's fate.
After getting beaten, Lin An actually felt relieved.
The Emperor is beating himself with this punishment. If a master is willing to punish his servant, it means he is still willing to use him.
If he doesn't even want to be knocked on, he'll have to think twice about it.
"Remember, don't say a word about Shu Wanyi's affairs."
Lin An lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Let's keep today's matter to ourselves and don't let a single word leak out."
Of course it was because of Shu Wanyi.
He also knew about releasing the person.
Xiao Baozi's heart was beating fast. He looked down at Lin An's pale face and nodded randomly.
"Even if you kill me, I won't reveal a single word."
******
After Lin An was dragged away, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace became more tense.
The servants who were serving him all had tense faces and dared not even breathe too loudly.
It would not be surprising if someone else was punished, but the one being punished was Eunuch Lin, which made everyone nervous.
There was a sound of water in the room. Behind the screen, the serving palace maids brought out the cold water, and soon hot water was brought in.
His Majesty has been bathing for almost half an hour.
From the time I entered the house, hot water was delivered two or three times.
The palace servants bravely took a look behind the screen, and just as they opened their eyes, the sound of water behind the screen stopped.
There was a sound of clapping from inside, and the palace servant was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and hurriedly handed over the clothes in her hands.
Wait until Xiao Yu is dressed and comes out from the inner room.
I have noticed that the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace is different from the past.
But he didn't care at this moment.
Some people become bolder after serving for a long time.
Even Lin An dared to do something under his nose and let concubines in without permission, which was simply treason.
Xiao Yu raised his hand and twisted his brows a few times, then sneered.
He took the tea and took a sip, then said, "Let the doctor come in."
Judge Zhang was already waiting at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After hearing what was said inside, he tightened his face and went in.
Xiao Yu was sitting on a bench in the inner room. He had just washed up and there was still a trace of moisture on the ends of his hair.
But those sharp eyebrows couldn't hide it at all.
There was a fierceness in his brows and eyes, which even made Zhang Yuanpan feel numb at heart.
"Doctor Zhang." Xiao Yu opened his eyes. Director Zhang didn't dare to look at him any longer and quickly lowered his head to feel his pulse.
After waiting for a long time, Judge Zhang finally let go.
"Your Majesty, I am fine..."
Xiao Yu retracted his arm and nodded.
No matter how brave Shu Wanyi was, she wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
"Look at that." He glanced at the teacup on the table.
Xiao Yu said: "What's hidden in this?"
He felt something was wrong with the noise just now. It was obvious that Fang Shulan had put something in the tea. Since the body couldn't find out what it was, it must have been an aphrodisiac.
Suddenly, Doctor Zhang took the teacup and put it to his nose to smell it.
After a careful examination, his expression slowly changed.
"Your Highness, this is an aphrodisiac incense."
Xiao Yu was not surprised at all: "Besides this, is there anything else?"
"It contains nard, patchouli, and linden." Zhang Yuanpan tasted a little with the tip of his tongue, and then his face changed slightly.
He knelt on the ground with cloudy eyes, then he started to laugh. Upon seeing this, the eunuch with him immediately poured a cup of tea on his face. Only then did Zhang Yuanpan raise his head tremblingly.
He quickly put down the teacup and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, there is also a magic medicine in it."
He didn't even notice it just now.
"What is that?" Xiao Yu opened his tightly closed eyes and rubbed the jade ring on his thumb with his fingertips.
"Magic drug, also known as love potion." Doctor Zhang knelt on the ground, trying hard to lower his head.
"This medicine is circulated in Miaojiang. I heard that it is made from saturated fat and vermilion bird grass. After being boiled, the medicine has a strange fragrance."
"Is it poisonous?" Xiao Yu thought carefully. At that time, he did smell a strong scent on Fang Shulan.
"Non-toxic." Dean Zhang shook his head. "This grass is also called love grass in Miaojiang. It is used on the wedding day. After the fragrance is lit, the person or thing of your heart will appear."
"Generally speaking, when a couple speaks to each other, they will find each other, so it is also called the touchstone of love."
Hearing that this thing was non-toxic, the coldness on Xiao Yu's face subsided a little.
