Capítulo 1868: Chapter 1875: Ning Huaixiu’s Panic (3)
So, nowadays, the people are no longer afraid of talent selections like before, nor are they afraid of their daughters entering the palace. Every year when it’s ti for the talent selection, families with eligible daughters rush to the governnt office to register early, fearing they might miss the chance for their daughters.
Those palace maids who left the palace after turning eighteen returned ho with significantly elevated status. Not only did they bring back a considerable amount of silver, but also, during their years inside the palace, they continuously learned and mastered many skills, broadening their horizons and increasing their abilities and confidence, making their aura different from when they first entered the palace.
The number of eunuchs inside the palace has also decreased compared to before. Eunuchs mainly co from poor families, but now the citizens of the Great Jin Nation are becoming increasingly prosperous. People have money, so who would bear to send their sons to beco rootless eunuchs?
Moreover, Cai Wei felt that castration is a cruel act, akin to the Daughter’s Rites of ng slaves. A healthy boy, just because his family is poor, must endure such punishnt—it’s too cruel and too depraved. So, she specially arranged with the Internal Affairs Departnt that, in the future, entering the palace will not involve castrating good citizens. All eunuchs will be replaced by young death-row prisoners.
She is not afraid of the enmity on the bodies of those death-row prisoners, nor is she afraid of any plots they might try. Old Turtle has dicine to control people’s minds. Those prisoners who are castrated will be imdiately given this mind-controlling dicine, making them timid and cowardly, thus becoming suitable eunuchs.
Now, under Cai Wei’s managent, the palace is showing a happy and positive atmosphere. It’s filled with laughter and joy daily, which Cai Wei finds much better than the gloominess of the old palace!
She stood under the pine tree, watching the children and palace maidens play happily, feeling warmth in her heart. These kinds of days are truly nice. Although there isn’t the high-tech modern life from her past life here, nor are there as many good-looking or fun things as in her past life, compared to family affection, what do those matter?
She only wishes for this to continue for a long ti, so that this life has no regrets. She won’t spare those who want to destroy her happiness. She has already discussed with Nangong Yi, and once Nangong Yi finishes the morning court session, they will summon Ning Huaixiu into the palace to interrogate her and figure out the true mastermind. She will not hesitate!
At this mont, a voice from Space sounded: “Master, that girl is about to wake up, should we continue giving her the Confusion Drug?”
Cai Wei said: “No need, she’s fine now. I’ll get her out shortly to save you the trouble!”
After speaking, she instructed Huan Qiu and Xiao Zhi to watch over the buns here, then returned to the palace alone.
In the morning, she’d already sent soone ho to report safety, and also sent soone to the Shen Mansion to notify them. The person who returned said that after the incident last night, Madam Shen and Lady Cui were already sick with worry. Lord Shen, though barely holding on, had mouth blisters and seed on the verge of collapse. Abruptly hearing that the daughter was alive and well inside the palace, they cried tears of joy and wanted to rush into the palace to pick her up but were stopped by the eunuch who brought the ssage.
Since Juhua is about to wake up, it’s better to send her back quickly to ease her Dad and Mom’s worries.
Returning to Shouxian Palace, she entered the side hall on the east, released Juhua, checked the ti and saw it was almost the ti for the n to finish court session, hence she sent soone to the Chancellor’s mansion to summon Ning Huaixiu into the palace.
The eunuch went out on the order, Cai Wei instructed Chun Liu to bring so peppermint oil over, dabbed a bit on Juhua’s forehead, then took so water from the Spiritual Spring in Space and personally fed it to Juhua.
