Chapter 474 Everything Will Be Worth It
An Lingrong gently helped her up and patted her shoulder soothingly.
"I have always believed in your loyalty, brother and sister. Please quickly decide when to leave the palace, and I will arrange it."
"My Lord, the Emperor is wise. When he first ascended the throne, he changed the age at which palace maids could leave the palace from thirty to twenty-five. This is a great favor to me. I am willing to wait until I reach the age to leave the palace."
People always exchange sincerity for sincerity. Since her master treats her so well, Baoli doesn't want to give her master a chance to be criticized by others because of her.
An Lingrong was very thoughtful and understood Baoli's thoughts in an instant.
"You...are old enough to leave the palace. Baoli, go down and rest first."
"The slaves retire."
Not long after Baoli went out happily, Baoque and Xiaolinzi entered the main hall one after another.
"This servant (slave) pays respects to the master!"
"All of you, get up. Is there anything strange about the drowning of Yong'an Beile?"
Baoque stepped forward and reported in a low voice.
"My Lord, on the night Prince Yong'an was in trouble, Eunuch Su led his men to seal off the main courtyard where he lived, preventing even Concubine Yu from approaching."
"When I visited Concubine Yu on behalf of the Empress, she said that ever since Prince Beile's face was disfigured, he couldn't stand mirrors in the house and never went near water. It was truly bizarre that Prince Beile fell into the water this time."
"Su Peisheng may have found out something, but he's very tight-lipped. Even Concubine Yu herself went to his house and couldn't find out the truth."
"But seeing that Concubine Yu is devoted to Prince Yonghu, I can still hold on."
"I hope she can hold on."
Now that Prince Yong'an has passed away, Yu Ying'er, as the concubine who gave birth to his only son, will have an unshakable position in Prince's Mansion.
"As long as Yu Ying'er takes good care of Yonghu, her blessings are still to come."
An Lingrong learned from Wei Lin that Wen Shichu had returned to the Imperial Hospital. She thought of Su Peisheng that Baoli had just mentioned, and looked at Xiao Linzi.
"Did you notice which young eunuchs Su Peisheng brought with him when he left the palace this time?"
"My lord, I have had the honor of dealing with the people that Eunuch Su brought out. This time, he brought out six young eunuchs: Xiao Xiazi, Xiao Guizi, Xiao Qianzi, Xiao Zhouzi, Xiao Mazi, and Xiao Liuzi. Eunuch Su helps out at the Prince's Mansion during the day, and after dark, he will select a young eunuch to accompany him back to the mansion to serve him."
Xiao Linzi learned this when he was chatting with a young eunuch he was familiar with.
"Master, I overheard someone say that the palace physician of the Prince's Mansion suddenly fell ill. For the safety of the masters and others in the mansion, he was thrown into the mass grave with a straw mat."
Xiao Linzi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell his master the news.
"I dare to speculate that the palace physician is responsible for Prince Yong'an's misfortune."
"Okay, I understand."
An Lingrong thought for a moment and said, "Tell your men to secretly investigate the family of the court doctor. If they are in trouble, help them."
"And Su Peisheng..."
When the master and servant mentioned Su Peisheng who was temporarily staying outside the palace, Cui Jinxi, who was pacing back and forth on the top of Lingyun Peak, suddenly stopped.
About a quarter of an hour later, she walked into the room carrying the medicinal meal carefully prepared by Baizhi.
"Master, this is the nourishing medicinal food that Doctor Wen sent up the mountain overnight. Please use more."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Jinxi."
Zhen Huan finished the big bowl of medicinal food without changing her expression, then put the bowl aside and asked in a deep voice.
"Aunt Jinxi, is there anyone in this palace who can speak with the emperor?"
Cui Jinxi gently massaged Zhen Huan's shoulders and spoke the words she had prepared long ago.
"Master, the only one who can speak in front of the emperor now is Su Peisheng. He has served the emperor since he was a child and understands his temperament best. If my lady wants to return to the palace, she must have the opportunity to meet the emperor."
Zhen Huan felt the force coming from her shoulder and sighed dejectedly.
"But now that we are outside the palace, there is really nothing I can ask him to do for me."
Cui Jinxi shook her head firmly.
"Master, you are wrong. Su Peisheng has followed the emperor all his life and never seen anything. The best way to bribe Su Peisheng is definitely not money and benefits."
Zhen Huan already had some guesses in her mind. She looked at Cui Jinxi doubtfully, "Then?"
"Su Peisheng is a disabled man, and his inability to marry and have children is the greatest pain in his life. That's why there are eunuchs in the palace who secretly have affairs with palace maids, just to comfort each other's suffering, which is better than nothing."
Zhen Huan was delighted when she heard this, but her face was full of disapproval.
"Jinxi, I won't let you do this for me. Let's think about it carefully. There must be other ways."
"This is the best plan. Su Peisheng and I are from the same hometown. When I first entered the palace, Su Peisheng was quite caring towards me. Moreover, after so many years in the palace, Su Peisheng has not been indifferent to me. I am willing to try my best."
Cui Jinxi's eyes, which were looking somewhere unknown, revealed determination and resoluteness.
Zhen Huan held Cui Jinxi's hand tightly and said with red eyes.
"Jinxi, you've endured enough hardships following me that no one else has ever endured... but he's not a man after all..."
"Master, I have thought this through very clearly. It is useless to persuade you any further. Didn't I say that as long as you are determined to return to the palace, I will do anything for you. As for the future..."
Cui Jinxi's eyes quickly swept across Zhen Huan's flat belly. Everything she had paid would be worth it.
Zhen Huan couldn't resist Cui Jinxi's determination and could only watch her pack her bags.
At dawn, the door of a Zen room on Lingyun Peak creaked open, and a woman with makeup on her face came out, carrying a bag on her back, and stepped heavily onto the path leading to the foot of the peak.
