Chapter 130 Yingluo's solicitation
Wei Yingluo certainly noticed his change, and even realized his murderous intentions, but she pretended to be unaware and said in a relaxed tone:
"Of course it's because I want to recommend you to the palace of Concubine Xian. If you become the chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace, wouldn't that mean you're in conflict with Changchun Palace?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chunwang, who originally had a hint of murderous intent on his face, was immediately stunned.
He widened his eyes and looked at Wei Yingluo in disbelief, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
He thought Wei Yingluo would at most transfer him to another palace that was slightly better, so that he could continue to do the hard work, but he didn't expect that it would be the palace of Concubine Xian, one of the four concubines. If he could become the chief eunuch beside Concubine Xian, then he would have a chance to succeed...
"Miss Yingluo, don't worry. I can swear that I will never harm the Queen and the princes." Yuan Chunwang immediately became in a good mood.
Wei Yingluo was secretly happy in her heart. She knew that she had now gained 50% of his trust. However, if she asked him to swear an oath, it would not only be ineffective because Yuan Chunwang did not care about these oaths, but would also distance their relationship.
So she would not ask him to make any oath. Instead, she hoped to build mutual trust through the exchange of interests.
So, Wei Yingluo waved her hands hastily and said, "No, no, no, Eunuch Yuan, no need to swear! Of course I believe you."
Then, she smiled brightly and said firmly, "If I don't trust you, why would I come to you?"
When these words came out, Yuan Chunwang was stunned. This was a kind of trust he had never experienced before.
Wei Yingluo stood up and said goodbye to him with a smile.
Zhen'er and Yuan Chunwang left, and Li Yu also left, but Wei Yingluo had no intention of leaving. Instead, she took Concubine Xian in one direction.
At first, Concubine Xian thought that Wei Yingluo was going to take her to see the Queen, but she didn't expect that Wei Yingluo would quietly take her along a small path and walk all the way to the palace gate.
Concubine Xian was very confused and couldn't help asking, "Miss Yingluo, what do you mean?"
Wei Yingluo replied calmly, "Empress Xian, since the Empress has decided to help you deal with this matter, she will definitely take responsibility to the end. She has already sent Doctor Ye to the prison to treat your brother. Doctor Ye will come to report the situation soon, so please be patient."
Empress Xian nodded, but the worry on her face did not disappear. Instead, she frowned, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
She sighed inwardly, she had no intention of getting involved in the disputes in the harem and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
However, fate always seemed to not let her go, forcing her to face these complicated relationships. Now, even if she wanted to remain independent, she could not avoid owing the Queen a favor.
Wei Yingluo looked at Concubine Xian's expression, and understood her concerns. She comforted her softly, "Concubine Xian, you don't have to worry too much. The Queen said that this matter is just to repay your friendship when you were in the palace, and there is no other intention."
After hearing this, Empress Xian couldn't help but fall into memories.
Yes, when she was in the Qiandi Palace, she got along well with Empress Fucha and they admired each other's talents and virtues.
They appreciated paintings, played chess, and even learned calligraphy from each other. At that time, they were like soulmates with a spiritual connection.
But since Su Jinghao entered the palace, Empress Fucha has had an extra companion by her side, and the two are often together.
However, he was tired of the intrigues in the mansion and did not want to get involved in them, so he chose to stay away from the trouble.
Gradually, her relationship with Empress Fucha became distant and they rarely interacted with each other. From then on, she kept to herself.
Empress Xian took a deep breath, raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
After a while, Ye Tianshi came over and respectfully saluted Empress Xian and said, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress Xian."
Empress Xian was feeling uneasy. When she saw Ye Tianshi, she couldn't wait to ask, "Please come up, Doctor Ye. How is my brother Changshou now? Is he okay?"
Ye Tianshi looked solemn and said slowly, "In reply to Empress Xian, your brother is suffering from tuberculosis. The prison environment is bad and his condition has worsened. But I have controlled his condition with medicine and arranged for someone to change him to a better cell. He should be fine in the short term."
When Empress Xian heard this, her heart almost jumped into her throat, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was extremely nervous.
Only after listening to Ye Tianshi's words did she heave a long sigh of relief and said thankfully: "Thank you for troubling Doctor Ye. I hope Doctor Ye can visit my brother more often in the future. These jewelry are mine..."
As she spoke, Empress Xian hurriedly took out a bundle from her sleeve and stuffed it into Ye Tianshi's hand.
When Ye Tianshi heard that Empress Xian wanted to reward him, he immediately interrupted her and quickly refused, "No, no, I will visit Master Changshou regularly. This is what I should do. Empress Xian doesn't have to be so polite. I'll take my leave first."
After saying this, he slipped away quickly as if he had greased his feet, because the bag of gold that Concubine Gao gave to Ye Tianshi last time was already a hot potato, and he didn't want another one.
Wei Yingluo and the eunuchs she brought with her escorted Concubine Xian back to Chengqian Palace.
In Chengqian Palace, Zhen'er and Yuan Chunwang were anxiously waiting for Concubine Xian at the door.
Concubine Xian turned around and whispered to Wei Yingluo, "Miss Yingluo, please express my gratitude to the Empress on my behalf. How can the friendship we once had be compared to the help you have given me today? I will definitely repay you for this favor."
Wei Yingluo also lowered her voice and replied, "Empress Xian, today's matter was done quietly, and the Empress did not want outsiders to know about it, so you can forget about it.
In addition, we just went to Changchun Palace, but the Emperor and the Empress have already rested. The Empress has punished you to copy the palace rules thirty times and confiscated your property. "
This "punishment" was something Empress Xian had not expected. She couldn't help but lower her head and smile, and said gently, "Okay."
Wei Yingluo smiled and blinked, motioned to Concubine Xian to put away her jewelry, and left Chengqian Palace.
Empress Xian looked at Wei Yingluo's back and recalled the time she spent in the Qiandi Residence with Fucha Rongyin. She felt mixed emotions...
"Zhen'er, let's go back and rest." Empress Xian said gently, nodded to Yuan Chunwang who was standing beside her, and walked towards Chengqian Palace.
Zhen'er followed Concubine Xian's footsteps and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, we just helped our eunuch Yuan. He is from the Xinzheku. Because he was oppressed and had no food or clothes, he helped people resell the property in the palace..."
Empress Xian smiled slightly and deliberately asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhen'er said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I want to ask if you can ask Eunuch Yuan to come to our Chengqian Palace. Even if it's just to do some manual labor, it's much better than staying in Xinzheku."
"You, it's just a small matter, just make the decision." Empress Xian seemed to see through Zhen'er's little thoughts, but did not expose her.
Zhen'er was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll arrange it right away!" and happily rushed to the outside of Chengqian Palace to inform Yuan Chunwang.
In this way, Yuan Chunwang jumped from a slave in the Xinzheku to a eunuch in the Chengqian Palace, and his trust and curiosity towards Wei Yingluo grew more and more.
