Chapter 290 Crisp and Sweet
Chapter 290 Crisp and Sweet
Jinzhong felt like he had a lot of mouths, but none of them could be used to beg for mercy.
In public, he didn't dare show any inappropriate expression.
But he was really anxious.
He was eager to show his loyalty, eager to explain why he had done that before, eager to tell Ling Zhuer that he had absolutely no intention of taking risks with her. It was a gamble at the time, but if he lost the bet, the emperor would at most execute him.
But in front of everyone, I can still say a few vague words. If I say it too clearly, I will be seeking death!
He was eager to wait until he entered Yongshou Palace so that he could coax Master Ling, but... he couldn't even enter the gate of Yikun Palace.
Chunchan had a polite smile on her face: "Eunuch Jinzhong, please go back and report quickly. The maids will take good care of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is tired today, so I won't greet you."
Jinzhong: “…”
He lowered his voice and asked, "What happened? Why did Master Ling suddenly bring this up?"
It's been so long, he even dealt with the aftermath...
Is Ling Yunche so stubborn that he really dares not care about the lives of his family members?
that……
Chunchan saw the fierce light in his eyes and was afraid that he would do something rash in anger, which would make the relationship even more tense. She hurriedly said, "From my perspective, the master is too worried about you and is afraid that something bad will happen to you."
Jinzhong said sharply: "Master Ling...she already knew it..."
He was stunned, feeling happy and anxious at the same time.
Ling Zhuer's thoughts were more difficult to guess than in the previous life. Little did he know that she had already seen through his plan but had been keeping it to herself.
Chunchan sighed, "Eunuch Jinzhong, please be careful recently. The mistress got angry today because Concubine Xian made a wild remark that involved you, and she hit someone directly. You know how angry she is, right?"
After saying that, he was about to close the door.
Jinzhong said hurriedly: "She is not feeling well, please try to comfort her and don't let her get angry because of me. I will come in the evening."
Chunchan coughed lightly: "The master told you not to come over for the next half month."
Jinzhong was stunned.
Chunchan took advantage of his distracted moment and quickly closed the door.
She didn't dare to peek at Jinzhong's expression through the crack in the door, and hurried back to the house, fearing that Yanwan would get angry again and get sick.
But what she didn't expect was that Yan Wan had taken off her hairpins and was sitting cross-legged on the bed eating cakes. The expression on her face looked very relaxed and comfortable, without any anger at all.
Chunchan called out hesitantly, "Master?"
Yan Wan's eyebrows curved: "Is he gone?"
Chunchan nodded: "Let's go."
She walked to the chaise longue, massaged Yan Wan's calves, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yan Wan said with a smile: "Between you and me, is there anything that cannot be discussed?"
Chunchan asked quietly, "You really haven't seen him for half a month?"
Yan Wan shook her head: "No, you don't have to open the door if he comes."
Chunchan was very worried: "From what I can see from his expression just now, it's not very good."
Yan Wan stroked the gem ring on her finger: "I know he has always been a sharp-tongued person."
Lan Cui smiled and said, "My Lord, are you trying to temper Eunuch Jin Zhong? I haven't seen Doctor Li for a long time, and now he is really well behaved. He never dares to say a bad word about our Yongshou Palace!"
Yan Wan chuckled and pinched her cheek: "You are so cute!"
She said softly, "That's right, I just want to temper his temper."
Chunchan felt that there was something else behind this, but she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she simply said nothing and laughed along, "Eunuch Jinzhong is already pretty good, but judging by the examples of Lancui and Doctor Li, there is still room for improvement."
Lan Cui blushed after realizing it belatedly. She was so fidgety with the two men's laughter that she ran away with a red face: "I'll go see if the master's medicinal food is ready!"
Yan Wan and Chun Chan laughed for a while, and Yan Wan whispered, "The Emperor may want to promote Jiapin. You should keep a closer eye on her and don't let her say anything she shouldn't."
A trace of worry flashed across Chunchan's eyes: "I don't know why the emperor likes Jiapin so much. She has made so many mistakes, but she can still make a comeback."
Yan Wan fiddled with the ring on her finger carelessly, and chuckled, "Jiapin is indeed bright and generous, and full of exotic charm. This palace also likes such a passionate and flamboyant beauty. The emperor is a man, so he will like her even more.
She also gave birth to two princes, and she is also a noblewoman of the Yu family. The new prince of the Yu family has written to the emperor several times, asking about Jiapin's situation. The emperor does not want to have a bad relationship with the Yu family. This time, Jiapin did a good job in organizing the Buddhist meeting, so he took the opportunity to promote Jiapin. "
Chunchan frowned slightly: "I don't believe that a person can really change for the better. She tortured the master so viciously before, I'm afraid she doesn't believe that the master will really let her go."
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is how her life will be."
Chunchan didn't quite understand, but seeing that Yanwan didn't say much, she didn't ask any more questions.
Yan Wan ate another piece of cake and suddenly said, "This cake is good. Ask someone to send one to him."
Chunchan was stunned.
Yan Wan glanced at the plate of cakes as if inadvertently: "If he likes it, send him one piece every day for... half a month."
Chunchan: “…”
She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yan Wan glanced at her, snorted softly, but also laughed.
She herself has always been worried about gains and losses, so how could she bear to let Jinzhong also be worried about gains and losses?
She wanted to warn him, to temper his temper, to tell him not to behave inappropriately, rashly, or even gamble with his life just to vent his anger for her.
But she didn't want him to doubt that she would change her mind about him, and she didn't want him to feel that he would be abandoned at any time on this road if he didn't meet her expectations.
The greatest cruelty she could show him was to not see him for a few days.
No matter how much more she has, she can't bear to have it.
At night, Jinzhong stayed in Changchun Palace, his mind wandering several times, his fox eyes looking at the ground, his dark eyes filled with hostility, panic, and confusion.
Until Jin Shou approached stealthily and said, "Brother Zhong, I'll be on guard, you go and have something to eat."
Jinzhong had no appetite, but he saw Jinshou's suggestive eyes.
He paused and went to the corner to eat.
Jinbao chuckled and opened the lunch box.
Apart from a bowl of hot soup, there was only a piece of white peach pastry in the box.
Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.
Jinbao asked with a smile: "Brother Zhong, do you want to drink the soup first, or eat the cake first?"
Jinzhong glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, picked up the piece of white peach pastry, took a bite, and his mouth was full of sweetness, crispy and numb, which made him feel sweet all at once.
