Chapter 172 Chess Pieces
Shi Ying smiled and said, "The Queen said that this time, she is only giving you a small lesson. If this happens again, you will all be beaten to death."
After hearing this, the few people nearby who were still wailing were so frightened that they dared not howl anymore and could only sob quietly.
Eunuch Chang endured the pain and said, "I will follow your instructions."
After Shi Ying walked away, Eunuch Chang finally relaxed a little. He asked the palace maids and eunuchs who had been punished to go back and lie down.
There were doctors and female doctors in the palace who specialized in treating palace maids and eunuchs, but the six of them were injured as a result of being punished, and according to the rules they were not eligible to ask the doctors and female doctors to treat their injuries.
They could only grit their teeth and endure. If they could make it through, everything would be fine. If they couldn't, they would be wrapped in straw mats, sent out of the palace, and buried somewhere.
Although Eunuch Chang did not mention the punishment, Luo Qinghan still knew about it.
He felt it was extremely ironic.
The queen mother beat the servants around him without even saying hello, saying that she was punishing those useless servants for him, but in fact she was just warning him not to play tricks.
He was a chess piece in her hands.
As a chess piece, the most important thing to do is to be well-behaved and obedient.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Call Chang Xi over."
"Yes."
Soon, Eunuch Chang limped in.
Because of the injury, his face was very pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Just as he was about to salute, he was stopped by the prince.
"No need to be so polite. Are your injuries serious?"
Eunuch Chang pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt at all. Your Highness, don't worry."
Luo Qinghan asked someone to bring a wooden box containing several bottles of the best medicine.
"This is a reward for you, take it and use it."
Eunuch Chang was flattered and said, "There are so many medicines, I can't use them all, don't waste them."
Luo Qinghan: "The extra ones will be distributed to the other people."
Eunuch Chang thought of the other palace maids and eunuchs who had no medicine and could only leave their fate to God, and his heart softened, and he expressed gratitude.
"I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness on behalf of those servants."
"I'm the one who got you into trouble this time."
Eunuch Chang knelt down quickly and said, "Your Highness, please don't say that! I am the servant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as it is for His Royal Highness, I will be willing to sacrifice my life, not to mention just a few beatings!"
Luo Qinghan glanced at him and said, "You should know why I got sick."
No one else knew that he was taking medicine except himself and Xiao Liangdi, but Eunuch Chang was observant and followed him every day, so he must have noticed something.
Eunuch Chang spoke seriously, word by word.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will not say a single word."
Luo Qinghan said slowly: "You have followed me for so many years, so I naturally trust you. You are seriously injured this time, so go back and take good care of yourself.
Come back when you are fully recovered. Don't take advantage of your youth and ignore your body. You will suffer when you are old."
Eunuch Chang knew very well how cold the prince's temperament was. It was really rare for him to hear the prince say such caring words. It was obvious that the prince truly regarded him as his own.
Eunuch Chang just felt that the beating was worth it!
He was so moved that his eyes were red, and he said anxiously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not well yet, how can I rest and recuperate?
The hearts of people in this palace are unpredictable. There might be someone who wants to take advantage of the prince's illness to do something cruel. I must always stay by his side and not let those evil spirits take advantage of the opportunity.
