AWB Chapter 137 Escape
Chapter 137 Escape
Wang Chan nodded rapidly, patting his chest and promising, "Don't worry, Eunuch Jinzhong, you can trust me to do the job! There won't be a single mistake. Don't forget what I told you, remember to come! You must come! You must come! Don't forget..."
Immediately after that, Wang Chan started running as if there were wolves chasing him, fearing that Jinzhong would kick him again.
Wang Chan became more and more courageous and dared to tease Eunuch Jinzhong. After all, the people in Yongshou Palace were indeed spoiled by the Lord.
Looking around the entire palace, I'm afraid no one does not envy the servants working in Yongshou Palace.
Their master is famous for his generosity throughout the Forbidden City!
He was favored by the Emperor and appreciated by the Empress Dowager. The bonuses he received during festivals and holidays alone were several times more than what he would have received working for other empresses.
Jinzhong was too lazy to look at his annoying look. At this moment, his mind was full of Yanwan's aggrieved look and unable to eat, so he had no time to pay attention to him.
Thinking of his master, his handsome features were twisted into a mass of worry. His brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. He wished he could grow wings and fly to Yongshou Palace... Unfortunately, he had to return to serve the emperor and couldn't escape.
We have to think of a good way to go to Yongshou Palace openly.
The winter snow fell heavily, and the spherical snowflakes fell heavily on the fluff of his black winter hat. Initially just a small piece, it soon dyed the black winter hat into a gray and white.
Jinzhong didn't care about all this. He just wanted to rush back to the Yangxin Palace and look for a solution along the way.
It's winter and snowy outside, but it's spring inside the house all year round.
While Yan Wan was asleep, Chun Chan stood in the corridor, occasionally looking towards the gate of Yongshou Palace. Seeing Wang Chan hurried back, she quickly went forward in the wind and snow to ask, "How is it? Is everything done?"
As she spoke, she helped him brush off the snow on his body.
Wang Chan nodded cheerfully, winked at her, and said confidently, "Don't worry. When I said that, Eunuch Jinzhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He's got a good brain, so he'll definitely come! Just wait and see!"
"You're just a talker. Be careful if Eunuch Jinzhong hears this or he won't let you off."
Hearing this, Chunchan felt relieved. Seeing that Wang Chan dared to tease Jinzhong with his words, like a scoundrel who relied on the power of others, she suppressed her smile and said angrily.
"Eunuch Jinzhong doesn't have the heart to care about these things. I'm afraid he is now completely focused on the master inside..."
Wang Chan was quite proud. If there was one person in this world who could control Eunuch Jinzhong, it would be his master.
If there is more, then it must be this person who kidnapped the master and wants to capture Eunuch Jinzhong!
Afternoon, Yangxin Palace.
The emperor was holding a red brush, his head lowered, buried in a pile of memorials, writing furiously.
The war in Dzungar had been going on for more than a year. After the civil strife in Dawachi, Dzungar was defeated by the Qing army. There were many reports of battles coming from the front line, and the Dzungar army was beaten back step by step.
The fifth princess had just died. Not only was Ruyi heartbroken, but he was also heartbroken. However, as the king of a country, he always had to put state affairs first.
Princesses in the palace are more difficult to support than princes. Apart from Princess Hejing who has already married, only the third princess of Concubine Chun and the sixth princess of Concubine Ying are still alive in the palace.
What's more, this is the daughter he and Ruyi had. How could he not feel distressed?
It was a pity that when she was born, he was busy with political affairs, the Dzungar War, and the frequent floods in the south. He was so busy that he rarely had the chance to spend time with her.
But she didn't expect that in just a few short years, he passed away before he had the chance to love her properly.
The emperor felt guilty, but he couldn't bear to see Ruyi looking so depressed, so he could only numb himself with political affairs.
He was busy when he looked up and saw Jinzhong carefully bringing in a bowl of ginseng soup.
Jinzhong quietly put the ginseng soup aside, then approached the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty has been busy day and night these days. Why don't you drink a bowl of ginseng soup and take a rest? I feel very distressed when I see you..."
Looking at the ginseng soup beside him, the emperor shook his head without even frowning, and just waved his hand gently and said, "I have no appetite, take it away."
How could he eat these things when his beloved daughter died young?
"The Emperor didn't even eat much for lunch today. How can he endure this? He should eat something. The chefs in the imperial kitchen have been very worried lately. Not only does the Emperor have no appetite, but the Empresses of Yikun Palace and Yongshou Palace also have trouble eating and sleeping. The kitchen is working day and night to prepare meals..."
Seeing that the emperor still didn't want anything, Jinzhong whispered to him.
He had a sad look on his face, muttering to himself, and his eyes hidden under his hat were shining with a faint gleam.
During the conversation, he mentioned Yan Wan's recent situation intentionally or unintentionally.
This kid is very smart. He is afraid that the emperor will think that he is secretly biased towards Yongshou Palace, so he also uses the Empress of Yiku Palace as a shield.
As expected, the emperor paused when he heard him mention Yan Wan, and finally looked up at him: "Yongshou Palace? What happened to Concubine Ling recently? Is she feeling unwell?"
He knew that the Queen had no appetite, so why was Concubine Ling also unable to eat?
She's already passed her first trimester. Isn't it said that women's condition gradually improves after the first trimester? Why is she still losing her appetite?
"Your Majesty, you may not know. When I went to get food today, I heard from the chefs in the imperial kitchen that the servants serving in Yongshou Palace have been very worried these past few days. They say that Concubine Ling is suffering from severe morning sickness and can't eat anything. The imperial doctors have come and gone, but none of them can help her. She can't even take the medicine prescribed to maintain her pregnancy. She just eats some soup every day. I heard that she has lost a lot of weight..."
Jinzhong looked at the emperor's face and exaggerated the matter. He couldn't help feeling distressed as he spoke, and the more he looked at the emperor, the angrier he became.
The dog emperor doesn't know how to care for people at all!
Forget it, forget it. If you don’t know how to love your little master, I will do it for you!
You deserve to be labeled as such!
Because he was in front of the emperor, Jinzhong was indignant in his heart, and he dared not show any concern or anger on his face. He could only speak with a fake sigh.
The emperor sighed and said, "Forget it. I have been busy with government affairs recently and haven't seen Concubine Ling for a long time. Now let's go see Concubine Ling..."
Seeing that the emperor was about to get up, Jinzhong didn't want to let him do so.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You have summoned Lord Fuheng, and he will go to the Grand Council to discuss state affairs with the other adults..." Jinzhong was afraid that the emperor had forgotten this, so he bent over and reminded him in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the emperor, who was about to move, stuck his butt back onto the throne.
The affairs of concubines naturally cannot be compared with state affairs.
The emperor was at his wit's end. He sighed deeply and said to Jinzhong, "I remember that my imperial kitchen always has stewed bird's nest. You can personally deliver one to her and tell her that I will go to see her after I finish my work. It would be best if you can watch her drink it with your own eyes. Tell Concubine Ling to take good care of herself. When the dragon baby is born, I will reward her well."
"Yes! I will do it right away. With the Emperor's compassion and care, Concubine Ling's morning sickness will surely recover."
Jinzhong agreed happily, and while he was happy, he did not forget to flatter the emperor.
"Well, let's go down."
After receiving the order, Jinzhong turned around and left, not caring whether the emperor drank the ginseng soup or not!
It’s important to go to Yongshou Palace first!
After Jinzhong got the bird's nest from the imperial kitchen, he rushed to Yongshou Palace without stopping for a moment, fearing that the bird's nest would get cold if he was late and make his master lose his appetite.
When he walked, he looked like a young eunuch who had just entered the palace, completely losing his former majestic appearance.
Yan Wan just got up from her nap. She looked listless and leaned dejectedly on the soft pillow.
She really couldn't eat anything, and while being tormented by nystagmus, she still kept thinking about Jinzhong.
It doesn’t matter whether the emperor comes these days or not, but Jinzhong has to wait for him in the Yangxin Palace, and she is really worried about him.
