Xiaobao wanted to sit up but was afraid of waking Yaoniang up.
While lying on his side, he looked at his mother’s face earnestly, thinking in his mind.
In his previous life, Father Emperor made decisions arbitrarily and was a violent and tyrannical man. He was also obsessed with Taoism and longevity. Everyone said that his father had gone crazy from seeking immortality. Only Xiaobao knew that although the monks ran rampant in the imperial palace and his father built several temples and abbeys in the palace, he was not seeking longevity. His father didn’t even allow the monks to cultivate any immortality pills.
They were doing very secret things. They seed to be praying for blessings and deploying so formations.
Xiaobao had always thought that his father believed in the slander of the man called Han Chuanzi and was trying to change his fate. Because of this, he expressed his own thoughts and made many comnts, but Father Emperor always ignored him.
But now, Xiaobao no longer thinks so. Maybe what his father did was not without any effects.
Otherwise, why did both he and his mother get reborn?
Xiaobao turned over on the bed and rolled away.
What did his mother go through, and why did she say that? Why would she rather be a wet nurse than a concubine of his father?
Then what were the crises that they would face? Was it the won of the backyard, or a political enemy of his Father Emperor? Or…
Ever since his rebirth, this wasn’t the first ti for Xiaobao to feel so weak and powerless.
Can’t speak, can’t walk, can’t do anything.
The main kitchen was located to the northwest from the back of the house. At this ti, many people stood in the open space in front of the entrance.
In the middle of the crowd, two obese and bloated won were being beaten on the bench by several eunuchs.
Jin Wang Mansion was different from other places. Not only were there ordinary servants, but also eunuchs and court ladies that Jin Wang brought with him into the fief from the imperial palace. These people were marked with ‘from the palace’ and were exceptionally different from the others. No ordinary servant dared to provoke them.
However, there were not many of them. Most of them were eunuchs.
The people of the manor all understood that whenever these senior eunuchs were dispatched, they were carrying out orders for His Highness. These unrooted castrates were all ruthless. So ruthless that it made people shudder. Whoever provoked them must be disdaining their long life and was seeking death.
No one provoked them today, but these evil stars ca by themselves.
Most people didn’t know the reason behind all this. They only knew that there were two won with big mouths from the main kitchen who were talking about what had happened last night.
People were always interested in this kind of taboo topic of n and won relationships. Not only in the market, but also in the prince’s residence. The younger girls only blushed as they listened, but those older won who had raised children of their own had no restrictions as they spoke.
Everything was described in vivid details as if they had seen it with their own eyes. As they gossiped, the language they used was so crude and vulgar that it wouldn’t be described here.
So only listened with their ears perked, while others couldn’t help but lean forward. More and more people gathered together, yet at this mont, those wolf-like eunuchs suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, they pressed several chattering won to the ground.
And the first people to bear the brunt of it, as an example for others, were these two won who sought death.
“So courageous, daring to discuss your master in private! You must not want to live anymore. You thought that as long as you wagged your tongues while hiding in corners that grandpa wouldn’t be able to hear it? Heh! Grandpa can hear everything. In this manor, as long as grandpa wants to know sothing, grandpa can find out.”
Xiao Shunzi paced back and forth with his hands behind him, deliberately keeping them in suspense. “Hit! Hit them hard then throw them out of the residence. Of all the families in Jinzhou, knowing that these few slaves were thrown out from Jin Wang Mansion, who would dare to take them in?”
The board crackled and the won who were getting beaten howled. The other won who were held at the side waiting to get beaten were also frightened to death.
It wasn’t that big of a deal to suffer through a beating but Xiao Shunxi’s words seed to imply driving them out of Jin Wang Mansion.
They have all worked in the manor for many years and were quite old. If they get thrown out and no one dares to take them in, then there would be nothing to do but wait for death. No, it would be worse than waiting for death. If you die, you die, and everything is over. But if they were thrown out, it would an becoming destitute and holess, living a poor and lonely life in old age.
What’s more, it was unknown whether they could survive this beating!
Suddenly they all knelt and begged for rcy. But Xiao Shunzi, despite his tender age, was cruel. He wouldn’t bat an eye even if they kowtowed.
The onlookers were all terrified. They were not afraid of Xiao Shunzi, but Fucheng behind Xiao Shunzi, and Jin Wang behind Fucheng.
Jin Wang had never bothered to care about the back house and had never made such a big move before. What was unexpected was that the first ti he made a move, it would be so serious!
At the sa ti, similar scenes were also being staged elsewhere.
So of those gossipers discussed the matter out of curiosity, but so were given instructions to instigate others. Who would be able to tell? According to the movents from Zhaohui Hall, it seed to be that no matter their intentions, everyone would be pressed to death together.
When the news reached Siyi Courtyard, Consort Jin was stunned. With a smile on her face she said, “This consort had planned to take action but now that His Highness has taken care of it, it saves this consort from the hassle.”
Mommy Zhou thought of it differently from her. She felt that the consort must feel very uncomfortable inside. Jin Wang refused to bed any of his many concubines and wives. Yet he goes and sleeps with a wet nurse, the wet nurse next to the little princess.
It was one thing for it to be done in secret, yet he actually let himself get caught in action! What’s more, was that he forbade others to talk about it! Seeing how supportive His Highness was towards that little demoness, Mother Zhou couldn’t bear to see it. This recent developnt was to seal the mouths of everyone in the mansion. Whoever dared to make irresponsible remarks must be ready to face the wrath of His Highness.
