Chapter 470 Lord Ling, Go to Sleep
Whenever Jinzhong listens to someone talking, he never listens to what the person is saying, but instead thinks about what the person who is talking has just heard.
When he heard the emperor say that Ruyi was wrong, but it was all the fault of the people serving her, he knew that the emperor wanted to interrogate whether there were any remnants of the former Empress Ulanara.
Jinzhong very considerately introduced Rongpei.
Ruyi still has too many people to rely on. Ling Yunche is dead, and there is still Rong Pei who believes in her foolishly. How can she be isolated and helpless and then completely get involved with Zhang Qing?
Seeing that Hongli was very satisfied with his proposal, Jinzhong breathed a sigh of relief: "I just overstepped my authority. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my crime. I will personally find someone to adjust Rong Pei. I will definitely let her know who is the master of the Forbidden City."
Hongli nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Concubine Jia was so proactive in doing things. She had just given the order yesterday and had already done it today. He said, "You go to Qixiang Palace. I will accompany Concubine Jia for dinner tonight. After that, I will deal with the Rong Pei and then go back to rest."
Jinzhong quickly thanked him, respectfully withdrew, and strode away.
He went to Concubine Jia first and said, "Please get ready, Concubine. The Emperor will be here to have dinner with you tonight!"
Lian Cui was overjoyed: "Congratulations, Master!"
Concubine Jia was also happy, but she still felt a little anxious: "Is the emperor in a good mood today?"
Jinzhong smiled and said, "The Emperor is naturally in a good mood because the Imperial Concubine gave birth to a little prince. However, bad news came from the cold palace, and the Emperor is a little unhappy. So, he asked me to take Nanny A Ruo, who served Lady Xian, back to train her."
Concubine Jia felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
The emperor really still cares about the death of the dragon heir.
She gritted her teeth secretly. It was obviously something he didn't want, but when she did it, he was unhappy.
She forced a smile: "Is the Imperial Concubine okay?"
Jinzhong laughed again: "The imperial physician said that although there are some damages, as long as you take good care of it, it will recover. Speaking of this, I have to congratulate you. The power of assisting the six palaces is given to you by the emperor with his golden mouth and jade words!"
Concubine Jia's face was stiff: "How can I compare with the Imperial Concubine? Of course I will try my best to do the job well, and then hand it back to the Imperial Concubine after she recovers."
When she thought of Yan Wan, she felt less sad.
Although she has a grudge against the Imperial Noble Consort, after all, she now has four princes under her name. When the time comes, these four princes will work together to support the Imperial Noble Consort's son to ascend to the throne, and the Imperial Noble Consort will naturally not care about the past grudges anymore.
In this case, it is a good thing that the emperor holds a grudge against her.
The more isolated and helpless she was, and the more she had to rely on the Imperial Noble Consort, the more the Imperial Noble Consort would trust her and the more she would help her and her son.
She figured this out, and she really relaxed. She even felt relaxed and said, "The chief steward is always a smart person. How come the situation in the cold palace is just a miscarriage?"
Jinzhong smiled and said, "The report was that when they heard that the Imperial Concubine had given birth to a healthy little prince, Lady Xian was so angry that she had a miscarriage. Lady Xian herself ran to the door and screamed. A guard named Zhao Qing heard the noise and opened the door. He saw that she was bleeding profusely, so he helped to call the imperial physician."
He sighed and said, "The imperial physician said that this child was forced to be born, and it was extremely difficult. Lady Xian also had to have such great mood swings, it is normal that she cannot be saved."
He sighed: "If she hadn't insisted, why would the emperor be so distressed and upset?"
Concubine Jia understood again that Jinzhong had already persuaded the emperor that if he wanted to hate someone, he should hate Ruyi, there was no point in hating anyone else.
She felt better again and said with a smile, "I heard that Zhang Qing has a fierce wife at home. If Zhang Qing says a few words to any woman, she will run to her door and curse her until she is forced to hang herself. She has no complaints at all towards her husband Zhang Qing."
Jinzhong accepted her olive branch: "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will pay more attention to the cold palace."
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, you are the assistant manager of the Six Palaces, and you will need to take care of them. As long as the people are alive, you can do whatever you like with the rest."
Concubine Jia understood his intention of returning the favor, and as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would speak well of her to the Emperor.
This was a pleasant surprise: "I know what's going on and will remember the good intentions of the chief steward. Lian Cui, the chief steward is busy and cannot be delayed, please send him off quickly."
Lian Cui respectfully escorted Jin Zhong out and said, "General Manager, our master would like to invite you to have some tea."
Jinzhong accepted it with a smile: "Your Majesty is so polite. I would be disrespectful to refuse it."
After saying this, he said goodbye and left, going straight to the cold palace.
At night, he walked into Yongshou Palace with a full story in his mind and full of confidence to tell Yan Wan a story.
Yan Wan looked at his smug look and couldn't help laughing out loud, which pulled the wound below and made her frown and gasp in pain. She didn't dare to laugh anymore.
Jinzhong originally wanted to show off his skills, but seeing this, he no longer dared to try to make her laugh. He served her for a long while and finally told her the story in a concise manner.
"The official lady and the guard were hugging and kissing each other, and they were spotted by Nanny Wu, who grabbed her and slapped her to the ground, killing the child."
"The situation was chaotic at the time. The official thought the child could still be saved and insisted on calling the imperial physician. But she was afraid that Nanny Wu would expose the affair and she did not dare to blame her. Nanny Wu was afraid that if she exposed the affair, her entire family would be executed, so she just said that she was jealous of Lingzhuer, but the child was not saved in the end."
Yan Wan: “…”
She felt as if she was being hung high up in the air and fell to the ground before she could even fly. "That's not how you usually tell me stories!"
Jinzhong looked at her angrily glaring eyes and hurriedly said, "My dear Lord, when you get better, I will tell you for three days and three nights without any ambiguity! There is still a long time to go, so let's just listen to it for now, okay?"
Yan Wan was also afraid of the pain from laughing just now, so she could only nod with a hint of regret: "Did Concubine Jia give you some advice?"
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Empress Jia is obsessed with getting close to you. She will remember what you have reminded her of. Even if she forgets it someday, I will remind her to remember it herself."
Yanwan sighed, "Jinzhong, luckily you're back."
Jinzhong's heart trembled. Even though he knew he was overstepping his bounds, he still couldn't help but gently stroke her hair.
He was also glad that he was able to come back.
If it were the old me, I would probably just confront her head-on and use some tricks to force her to realize her importance. No matter how high she climbed, he would never completely give in.
Even if that were the case, Ling Zhuer would still choose him, but after all he could give Ling Zhuer too little, and instead caused Ling Zhuer more trouble.
He looked up at her. She now had a head full of black hair and looked dignified, like a flower grown with the most expensive nutrients in the world. There was not a single trace of the haggardness she had endured in the past nine years.
He didn't want to see her dry white hair again.
"My servant will always be with you."
Yan Wan smiled softly: "Come up and hold me."
Jinzhong's Adam's apple rolled. No matter how many times he heard her say these ambiguous words, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
But this is exactly what his heart desires.
She climbed onto the bed stiffly, and then her body softened the moment she lay down. He didn't dare ask her to move. He carefully held her in his arms and kissed her hair lightly, "Master Ling, go to sleep."
