Chapter 75: Chief Eunuch of Fengyi Palace

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

In these two months, the emperor still did not come to the harem, but a lot of things happened.

First, good news came from the west, and the atmosphere in the court that had been deadlocked for more than a month began to loosen slightly because of this good news.

Huo Jinchi was naturally happy, but the court officials felt that the matter was a done deal and they did not have any evidence against the emperor. It would be of no benefit for them to continue making trouble.

Especially some daughters are concubines, they have already started to worry. The emperor is in a stalemate with the court officials, and the concubines in the harem are unwilling to go. If this continues, those people in the Yu Shitai will not be able to bear it and will submit memorials to report them.

As these people wavered, their superiors naturally could not hold on any longer, leading to the current situation in the court.

The most obvious thing is that the number of memorials on Huo Jinchi's desk has decreased, and there are not so many memorials criticizing others.

Since the court officials had taken a step back, he naturally had to express his opinion.

So that night, the emperor went back to the palace, but he did not go to the empress, nor did he visit the pregnant Concubine Liu. Instead, he went to a talented lady named Shen, which surprised everyone.

But with a little inquiry, one can understand that this talented lady Shen also has a background. She is the sister of General Shen who led the army to quell the rebellion.

Huo Jinchi gave face to the court officials, but he also secretly slapped them in the face.

No one knew how the people in the harem would react, but Yunqin was still peaceful.

After more than two months of recuperation, the wounds on Yun Qin's back have basically healed, and there are no scars left. There are only some red marks that have not completely disappeared. Rong Xin still has to massage her and apply medicine to her every day.

My body has almost recovered. I no longer have coughing and wheezing. I still need to take good care of myself, but I can get out of bed and walk around without any problem.

This time, it was Rong Xin who urged her to go out more often.

Speaking of walking, Yun Qin had nowhere to go and could only walk around inside Chunxi Palace.

The Chunxi Palace is not very big, and as the weather is getting hotter, there are some flowers and plants worth seeing.

Concubine Su was locked up in the palace, and the aunt sent by the two queen dowagers was also very clear about Yun Qin's situation. Naturally, no one could restrict her from moving around.

That day she was standing in the corridor admiring the newly blossoming peonies when a young eunuch led a group of people over.

The only people who still come to Chunxi Palace now are the Empress or the Empress Dowager's people, and naturally, they are not people Yun Qin can afford to offend.

She immediately closed her eyes and stepped aside.

The leader was a middle-aged eunuch. Although Yun Qin did not recognize him, she recognized the clothes he was wearing. He should be the chief eunuch in the Empress's palace. Yun Qin vaguely remembered that his name was Jiang Lihai.

As soon as Jiang Lihai walked over, he saw Yun Qin, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stopped in front of her.

"You are also a maidservant of Lady Su? How come I have never seen you before?"

As he spoke, his eyes were still examining Yun Qin.

Yun Qin was still wearing plain clothes, with a silver hairpin with kingfisher feathers casually pinned on her hair. Because she had not seen the sun for a long time, her skin became even paler than before, and even in the sun she was covered with a layer of cold light.

Although her lips were no longer as bright red as before, the pink and white color made her look more fragile. Her frail appearance was even more eye-catching than before, even outshining the colorful peony behind her.

Yun Qin could feel his slimy gaze on her, her face instantly darkened, and she raised her eyes and gave him a cold look.

"Your breasts are so big..."

Jiang Lihai was about to lose his temper after being glared at like that, but was stopped by the eunuch who brought him here.

"Eunuch Jiang, this is Miss Yunqin."

Jiang Lihai didn't react at first, but when he saw the little eunuch's suggestive look, he suddenly remembered who Yun Qin was.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed his face and said flatteringly, "It turns out to be Miss Yunqin. Look at me, I am so ignorant that I dare to ask your name. Don't blame me."

The young eunuch quickly said to Yunqin, "This is the chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace, Eunuch Jiang."

Yun Qin understood his hint, which was to tell him that this person was from the Empress's palace, so he should speak more slowly.

She was not the type to be bullied. She snorted and nodded at him, "Eunuch is also a favorite of the Queen. You should pay more attention to where you are walking. Don't look where you shouldn't!"

Jiang Lihai never thought that she would dare to say a word to her. After all, she was not a proper master now, so she had no qualifications to blame her. Therefore, she did not take her seriously at all.

Even though he didn't take it seriously in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. His face froze for a moment, "Yes, the lady is right. I understand your lesson."

Yun Qin snorted and laughed again, and didn't look at him again.

"Eunuch, let's go see Lady Su first."

Jiang Lihai nodded, followed the young eunuch for a few steps, but turned back to look at Yun Qin, his eyes full of evil.

Yun Qin didn't see it, and when she ran into such a thing, her good mood was wiped out, and she simply turned around and went back to her room.

Seeing her come back with a gloomy face, Rong Xin asked in confusion: "Why did you come back so soon? Didn't I tell you to move around more? You must be bored staying in the house all day."

Yun Qin then told him about her encounter with Jiang Lihai, and finally couldn't help but complain, "How could the queen, who is so noble, have such a eunuch by her side!"

Rong Xin also frowned, walked to the door, looked outside, and then closed the door.

"What are you doing?" Seeing her like this, Yun Qin became even more confused.

It's just saying bad things about a eunuch, there's no need to make it so mysterious.

Rong Xin sat down next to her and asked solemnly, "You really haven't heard of this Jiang Lihai's name?"

"Is he famous?" Yun Qin asked subconsciously, then changed the subject, "Isn't he the chief eunuch of Fengyi Palace?"

Rong Xin was somewhat helpless, "You. You wanted to leave the palace so much before that you didn't know, but you can't be so careless about things outside in the future."

She tapped Yunqin's nose and continued, "He was once a eunuch in front of the emperor. Later, the empress asked him to be the chief eunuch. It is said that he served the emperor when he was young and had a special relationship with him."

"I was wondering why you are so arrogant."

Rong Xin continued, "This is not the most important thing. Jiang Lihai has bad behavior and often attacks beautiful palace ladies. However, everyone is in the emperor's care and dares not speak nonsense, so only we know his true nature."

"He's an old eunuch!" Yun Qin was furious, her voice a little distorted.

Rong Xin held her back and said, "Keep your voice down. After all, he has a close relationship with the emperor. Who would dare to offend him so easily?"

"However," she said with a relieved tone, "You are favored by the Emperor, so you don't have to be afraid of him. But he is a servant of the Empress after all. Because of Ajing's poisoning, we have already offended the Empress, so it is better not to offend him."

Although Yun Qin was angry, she also understood that Rong Xin was right.

This palace also has its own rules of survival, and Jiang Lihai obviously belongs to the upper class. Even if she becomes a concubine, she will probably have to be polite when meeting him.
