There were three people standing in the pavilion in the center of the lake. One stood straight, one was groveling, and the other stood by the pavilion and looked around, as if watching the wind.

"Eunuch Jin, they say that you are a popular person around the emperor. Thanks to you serving by the emperor these years, I should say thank you to you here."

Zhao Meng'er changed from her usual arrogant attitude and became gentle and polite to a eunuch. This was really not her style. If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely think that they were dazzled.

Jin Fu trembled. Over the years, he was used to serving people in the palace. He had to nod and bow to every master he saw. Now, the former master of the harem actually thanked him. How could he bear it?

"My Lady, what are you talking about? Serving the Emperor is my job. How dare I deserve your thanks? But I'm offending this old slave." Jin Fu quickly bowed and spoke humbly.

"Eunuch Jin, there is no need to be polite. This thank you is well deserved. Since I entered the palace, you have been waiting by the emperor's side. We are already old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite." In fact, when I first entered the palace, in order to take care of the emperor.

She also spent a lot on the people around her. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are old acquaintances. Jin Fu looked flattered and said, "That is, the empress is the first one to enter the harem. I have been thanking you all these years."

Are you taking care of me?"

Zhao Meng'er smiled and said this. Although the emperor has abolished her title of concubine, with her connections and prestige in the harem, no one dares to really bully her. At most, the Ming Dynasty will make some insinuations.

Sentence. She will remember those people, and one day they will all be replaced by them. She wants them to know that she, Zhao Meng'er, is not someone who can be rounded or flattened by others. She will always turn around one day, and she will impress them when the time comes.

Slowly walking to the stool in the pavilion and sitting down, Caiying hurried over and helped the master pour hot tea, then stood aside and waited quietly.

Jin Fu bowed and stood quietly. He knew that the empress must have something to tell him when she called him here today. He was not in a hurry, so he quietly waited for her to speak.

Sure enough, after Zhao Meng'er took a sip of tea, she couldn't help but speak.

"Eunuch Jin, what do you think about Miss Chu's disappearance?"

"Oh, this old slave doesn't dare to say anything. If the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't chop off my head." Jin Fu looked scared and waved his hands hurriedly.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Jin. There are no outsiders here. Don't you still believe in me?" Zhao Meng'er said and sighed deeply: "Eunuch Jin, in this palace, you know best. I have treated the emperor in these years.

I think you have seen it. Although I am a bit arrogant and domineering, isn't it because I love the emperor too much? Others don't know this matter, don't you still know it?" Speaking of this,

There was hatred in her heart. In order to get his favor, she fawned over the superiors and won over the subordinates. As for the old lady, the concubine, if it wasn't because the emperor respected her, would she have currying favor with her? But she didn't expect that in the end, the old woman would actually

She was really mad at him for defecting.

Jin Fu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, "Old slave, of course I understand. In fact, from Yi Laonu's point of view, none of the women in this harem can compare to your thoughts on the emperor. It's a pity..."

Zhao Meng'er naturally knew what Jin Fu had not finished saying, and she couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart. However, she suppressed her thoughts immediately and pretended to look like a wounded little white rabbit.

"So what if Eunuch Jin understands? It's a pity that he doesn't understand. In fact, when I dealt with Chu Xia, I had already seen that her thoughts were not on the emperor. Sooner or later, she would fail the emperor, and the emperor would be hurt even more. It would be better for me to be a villain.

, first drive her away from the emperor.

Who would have known that that woman was so vicious, first she injured me so badly that she almost took my life, and then she turned the tables on me in front of the emperor.

The emperor was deceived by her and punished me, but I never resented him. I even thought to myself that if she could treat the emperor sincerely, I would have nothing to complain about. As long as the emperor is happy, I have nothing else to ask for.

But I didn't expect that she would leave in the end, which severely hurt the emperor's heart. Eunuch Jin, I really feel sorry for the emperor."

At this point, Zhao Meng'er was already in tears, with a look of grievance on her face.

When Eunuch Jin saw her like this, he also sighed. "Who says it's not the case? This Miss Chu is so undeserving. The emperor is so affectionate to her, but she just left without a trace of nostalgia, without caring about the emperor's affection for her."

Sincerely, I don’t care about the emperor’s dignity in front of the people of the world.”

Zhao Meng'er took advantage of the opportunity to wipe her tears and looked at Caiying beside her. It seemed that their initial plan was successful. She had successfully won over Jin Eunuch to her side. Who didn't know that Jin Eunuch was the emperor's confidant?

, one sentence he speaks is better than ten sentences spoken by others.

In addition to Eunuch Jin, there is another loyal servant beside the emperor, and that is Yun Fei. Unfortunately, he is too loyal to the emperor and has no regard for anyone, so no matter how hard she tries, he is unable to make progress, and in the end he can only

give up.

"My father-in-law understands, but I don't understand why the emperor is still so infatuated with a woman who doesn't care about the emperor's feelings and doesn't take the emperor into his heart." He paused here, then approached Jin Fu and whispered cautiously: "And

, I also heard that this woman is not an ordinary person. Think about it, there has been no change in ten years, how is this possible? "

At this time, Caiying intervened with a look of disdain on her face. "In my opinion, she was transformed into a vixen. I heard that vixens are the best at seducing people. I also heard that those vixens cultivate by absorbing men's essence."

If the emperor really stays with her for a long time, his life may be in danger."

Zhao Meng'er pretended to be angry and glared at Caiying, "Don't talk nonsense. After all, these are all our guesses. I believe the emperor will have a clear understanding."

"My slave is telling the truth. Even if you blame me, I have to say it. Isn't it obvious? Everyone can see that the emperor doesn't understand, he is just deceived. Eunuch Jin, do you think so?" Caiying.

With an aggrieved expression on his face, he looked at Jin Fu and asked.

Jin Fu looked embarrassed and smiled, "I have also heard about this. I heard that she was like that when she met the emperor ten years ago. But after all, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I can't say anything. But I said

If you are not afraid of beheading, the emperor is indeed very fond of Miss Chu. Since ancient times, any woman who has not been officially canonized can live in the harem and be called queen. This is indeed against the rules." Speaking of this, Eunuch Jin seemed to agree.

Very dissatisfied.

Hearing what Eunuch Jin said, Zhao Meng'er felt more at ease and winked at Caiying.

Caiying understood, and hurriedly took out a wad of banknotes from her sleeves, looked around and saw that there was no one around, walked over to Eunuch Jin, and stuffed it into his arms.

"No, no, we can't accept these old slaves. They say they have no merit and no reward. How dare you ask for a reward from the empress?" Eunuch Jin hurriedly excused himself.

"Eunuch Jin, please take these. The Emperor will need you to take more care of him in the future. I can't serve the Emperor anymore, so you can do your part for me." Zhao Meng'er smiled kindly and looked harmless.

"Eunuch Jin, please put it away quickly. It won't be good if someone sees it. You also know that people in the harem are talkative. You know that we care about the emperor, but I don't know how they might talk about us." Caiying is smart.

, If you say these words, you are not afraid that he will not accept them. They say they are short-tempered, so in the future, you are not afraid that he will not be of the same mind as them.

Eunuch Jin was a little embarrassed, but there was no one who could not be moved by the money, so he half-heartedly took it into his arms.

Seeing Eunuch Jin accept the banknote, both of them felt relieved.

"Eunuch Jin, if anything happens over there in the future, please don't forget our master. If our master turns over, your benefits will naturally be indispensable." This means that money can make a difference, but Caiying's wit can be said to be true.

They don't need to be masters.

Eunuch Jin naturally understood and nodded in agreement.

"Eunuch Jin, you are busy with things. Is the Emperor still waiting for your service? We won't delay you." Zhao Meng'er saw that the time was almost up. A smart person would know what to do, so she didn't keep anyone around.

Jin Fu nodded hurriedly and said, "The old slave will leave first. Please take care of yourself, Madam."

After Jin Fu walked away, Caiying couldn't help but said: "Madam, do you think this Eunuch Jin can help us?" This time was the only chance for their master to stand up.

Zhao Meng'er's red lips were slightly curved, and she picked up a red cherry with her slender fingers. Her apricot eyes were full of pride. "Don't worry, didn't you see that old guy's eyes light up when he saw the banknote? Such a rootless person

He doesn’t care about anything except this yellow and white thing. We are not afraid that he loves money, but we are afraid that he doesn’t love it. Let’s just wait and there will be good news soon.”

That woman is gone, and now everyone in the court is talking about her running away with someone else. Even if she comes back, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to successfully make her his queen. Even if the emperor does not change his infatuation, how can he stop everyone from talking? What's more?

, it’s not certain whether she can come back! She has already discussed with her father that she will never be allowed to come back alive. Thinking of this, the hatred in her eyes deepened.

Jing Yuan's mood has improved a lot since he got the news about Chu Xia. As long as she is still in Donghua, as long as he has clues about her, he will definitely have a way to find her.

Now he just hopes to find her quickly, so that he can save himself from sitting here all day long, but he always has trouble sleeping and eating.

But the truth is often not what he expected. When he received the news that the ship Chu Xia was on encountered pirates, he almost collapsed. Thinking about who those pirates were, she, a woman, fell into their hands.

Isn't it a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

"General Xiao, I ordered you to lead an army of 50,000 to quickly encircle and suppress that generation of pirates. I have turned a blind eye to them all these years, but I didn't expect that they became more and more arrogant and dared to kidnap my queen.
