Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 158 Eunuch Jinzhong's Reminder

After Jinzhong finished speaking, Jiapin was waiting outside, and he respectfully took out from his bosom the one thousand tael silver note he had just received.

"Your Majesty, this is a reward from Concubine Jia to me. Concubine Jia also said that if I am willing to say something good for her, she will give me another 5,000 taels of silver."

Hongli looked at the banknote coldly, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.

This foreign concubine of his was truly omnipotent. Not only could she use the old people of the Ulanara family at will, such as Ruyi, but she could also easily take out six thousand taels of silver to bribe his people.

She still wants to be queen!

How ridiculous, a tribute!

Did she think that because the Yuan Dynasty once had a tribute girl from Goryeo as its queen, she thought that the Qing Dynasty was as devoid of moral principles as the Yuan Dynasty and would allow a tribute girl like her to stir up trouble? !

He said calmly: "Since Jiapin gave it to you, you should keep it."

Jinzhong hurriedly said he dared not.

Hongli said calmly: "You have made great contributions in finding out these things. Not only will Jiapin reward you, but I will also reward you."

Jinzhong said softly, "These are all my duties. I only hope to live up to the emperor's trust, and I don't ask for anything else."

Hongli looked up at him and said, "You don't want the position of chief steward either?"

Jinzhong's heartbeat quickened, but he knew what kind of master he was serving, so he became even more respectful: "I respect my master and dare not overstep the mark, but I am first the emperor's servant, so I will obey the emperor."

He said seriously: "Whatever the emperor tells me to do, I will do it."

Hongli lowered his eyes and hummed calmly, "Go call an imperial physician to take good care of Jiapin's pregnancy. Don't worry about the rest."

Jinzhong did not ask him whether he would see Jiapin or when. He respectfully withdrew and personally went to find the one who was most expert in gynecology and brought him to the deck of the rear cabin.

When Jiapin saw Jinzhong, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Where is the emperor? When will the emperor see me?"

She was now sitting on a stool with her body tilted, still holding Zhenshu's hand, and Zhenshu was obviously breathing less and more.

Seeing Jinzhong taking his time, she screamed, "Your Majesty, even if you don't want to see me, you can just ask Zhang Yun to come over! Hurry! Zhenshu is dying!"

Jinzhong waited for her to finish her words and made way for her: "Doctor Zhao, please check on Concubine Jia. Don't let her get too excited or she might hurt her stomach."

Jiapin's eyes lit up and dimmed in an instant; "Why not Zhang Yun? Jinzhong, did you mention me to the emperor?"

Jinzhong said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Concubine Jia, you are the Concubine. If you let me pass on a message to the Emperor, I will not ignore it. It's just..."

He sighed and hesitated to speak.

Jiapin's heart skipped a beat: "Just what?"

Jinzhong said helplessly: "Why do you have to target Concubine Xian?"

Jiapin looked dazed: "Me? Targeting her?"

She was so angry that she laughed: "What we did together..."

Jinzhong interrupted her: "Empress Jiapin, please be careful with your words, we are on a dragon boat."

Jiapin was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never thought that one day she would be so jealous of a fool like Ruyi.

Do not!

Ruyi is not a fool!

Those who believe that she is a fool are the real fools!

Ruyi, she is such a sinister villain!

Jiapin was trembling all over: "I won't tell you! I just want Zhenshu to be alive! It's okay if Zhang Yun doesn't come, just show it to Zhenshu first!"

Doctor Zhang's face was a little ugly. He had always been compared to Zhang Yun, and now he was being treated as a substitute. He said coldly, "Please forgive me, Concubine Jia. The decree I received is to make sure nothing happens to your child. For other matters, I dare not interfere without authorization."

He suggested indifferently: "How about you go and ask for another imperial decree."

Jiapin was furious: "All of you, just because I'm down and out, you rush to bully me, right?!"

Half a year ago, when she was still a concubine, all these imperial doctors would serve her very carefully when they came before her. When they heard Zhenshu and Lixin cough, they would take the initiative to offer to help.

Now that she has fallen from her position as a concubine, he dares to humiliate her like this!

"Where's Qi Ru? I want Qi Ru to see me! You are just a little doctor, you are not qualified to treat the dragon fetus!"

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Jiapin was in doubt and said, "What? I can't even change the imperial physician? How dare you delay the dragon fetus in my belly?"

Jinzhong sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. It is not that I do not meet your request, but that Master Qi Ru accidentally fell into the water half a month ago and has passed away."

When he said this, his dark fox eyes stared at Jiapin, as if he had other meanings.

Jiapin felt cold all over and immediately understood something.

The fact that she bribed Qi Ru was exposed, and the emperor could not tolerate Qi Ru, so he killed him!

She opened her mouth several times before she found her voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you see me?"

Jinzhong glanced at his hands and said, "My Lady, the pile of things I just took was a confession."

Jiapin's whole body tensed up and she wanted to say something, but then she collapsed.

Jinzhong sighed and looked at her with pity: "It's a matter of life and death, please think about yourself first, you servant..."

He shook his head and asked Doctor Zhao to check Concubine Jia's pulse: "The Emperor has chosen the heir, Doctor Zhao, please take some time."

Doctor Zhao naturally had to give Jinzhong face and smiled: "Eunuch Jinzhong, you are too polite."

He went to check Concubine Jia's pulse and asked the palace maid to feed her pills to preserve the pregnancy. Then he stepped aside, occasionally looking up to observe Concubine Jia's complexion. If she felt bad, he would go forward to check her pulse again.

Jiapin was pretending to be unconscious and had a stomachache, but Doctor Zhao exposed her lies one by one. Now she really started to have a stomachache.

"Please! Save Zhenshu! I'm willing to pay 10,000 taels! Really!"

Zhenshu heard her shouting in a daze, opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at Jiapin with tears on her face, and cried out of heartache: "Master, Master! Don't beg! Don't, don't beg them!"

"Zhenshu!" Jiapin grabbed her hand tightly: "I won't let you die!"

Zhenshu gasped with difficulty: "Master, it's useless. I can't be saved. Please take good care of yourself and the little prince, and I can die with my eyes closed."

Jiapin burst into tears and her stomach hurt more and more.

Jinzhong walked up to the master and servant and said in a low voice, "I am a kind-hearted servant. I cannot bear to see you, who treats your servants so well, being treated like this. I must remind you that this time, the emperor must make one person confess his guilt."

Jiapin was angry and annoyed: "What's the point of saying this? The emperor is partial and only protects Ruyi, putting all the dirty things she did on my head!"

Zhenshu, however, stared straight at Jinzhong, having understood the deep meaning of his reminder - a person of status was needed to take the blame for her master and die, so that her master could be spared from punishment!
