Chapter 61 Encounter
Chapter 61 Encounter
Mrs. Wei was terrified and didn't dare to look any further, but it was human nature to be curious, and there was also some fear that made her legs and feet go weak.
All these emotions pinned Madam Wei to the spot, and she didn't even have the strength to walk. Fortunately, Chunchan and Wang Chan held her steadily.
The strange eunuch seemed to be in a good mood, still laughing happily. The man under his feet kept crying and begging for mercy, his voice was mixed with saliva and tears, and his words were unclear.
Madam Wei could only hear some of it clearly, "Eunuch, I am guilty." And something else, "I dare not disobey you..."
But the eunuch still seemed unsatisfied and was about to stab the man in the heart with the knife. Madam Wei was so frightened that she suddenly closed her eyes, almost choked and fell backwards.
Wang Chan struggled to support Mrs. Wei and saw that there was a knife near the man's chest. The clothes next to him were soaked with blood, which was flowing down along the cracks in the bricks and stones.
Mrs. Wei was trembling and couldn't even speak. Tears suddenly came out of her eyes. She just held Wang Chan's hand tightly, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and motioned Wang Chan to take her away quickly.
Chunchan and Wang Chan finally came back to their senses. Without saying a word, they carried Madam Wei and quickly walked towards Yongshou Palace.
Madam Wei was being held in a rage, and she was terrified. She looked around to see if there was anyone nearby, fearing that someone might be killed to silence her.
She looked back and saw that the eunuch had walked out onto the road without her noticing. His clothes were still clean. But behind the sole of his right foot, there was a bloody footprint covering half of his foot.
His face was splattered with blood, and he stood there grimly. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a sinister look on his face. His pupils, without a trace of light or emotion, stared straight at her. He was like a wolf in the mountains, choosing someone to devour.
Mrs. Wei turned her head hurriedly. She used so much force and so fast that it seemed as if her neck was sprained. She felt a sharp pain in her neck.
They walked a long way, almost running on this brick road. Although it was hot and she was sweating, Mrs. Wei did not feel the heat at all. She just felt cold all over, and her heart was in a knot.
She urged the two men to look back to see if anyone was following them.
It was not until Wang Chan and Chunchan looked back several times and assured her that there was no one behind her that Mrs. Wei turned around quietly and looked carefully. As expected, there was no one behind her.
She rubbed her chest, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.
Madam Wei no longer had the excitement she had just now, the look of wanting to take over the entire palace. She only had a look of fear on her face, "Who was that just now?"
Chunchan was extremely cautious, so she looked around and whispered, "Madam, if you saw or heard anything, don't make it public. That person is very unkind."
Mrs. Wei was extremely frightened. She looked at Chunchan's expression, then at Wang Chan. Both of them had uneasy and terrified looks on their faces.
She felt that although the surroundings were empty, the walls were closing in, squeezing her so hard that she couldn't breathe. Madam Wei took deep breaths, and Chunchan helped her breathe.
This palace looks beautiful, but it is actually so scary. Madam Wei had only one thought in her mind, which was to quickly go back to her own shabby little house. Although it was not as wealthy as this one, there was no way anyone would kill another person for no reason!
"That man, he, he wouldn't want to kill me to silence me, would he?" Mrs. Wei pursed her throat, fearing that if she spoke too loudly, the living devil would hear her.
Chunchan and Wang Chan carried her again, almost lifting her up to take her to Yongshou Palace. For concubines who did not have children, the time their mothers had to enter the palace was limited. If she did not take two steps quickly, seeing how frightened Madam Wei was, it would probably take her a long time to walk.
"Shh, don't mention him." Wang Chan narrowed his eyes and said to Mrs. Wei with a strange expression.
Mrs. Wei immediately covered her mouth tightly and dared not speak.
* Yongshou Palace
As soon as she stepped into Yanwan's residence, she saw many magnificent gold, silver and jade articles displayed here. These were all wonderful things she had never seen in the first half of her life.
Madam Wei's anxiety was slightly relieved. She thought that she was only entering the palace once and would not come again. She would definitely not encounter that terrible...
Mrs. Wei hurriedly forced herself to suppress her thoughts and not recall that scene anymore. It was really too horrible.
Yanwan came to greet her warmly, and Mrs. Wei forced a smile to return the joy on her daughter's face.
But the smile didn't stay on his face for long before it froze immediately.
She looked inside and saw a man sitting on the couch, drinking tea with his head lowered. When he heard her talking to Yan Wan, he looked up.
Such a sticky and chilling gaze was staring at Mrs. Wei, as if a snake was crawling up from her trouser legs, cold and chilling.
He was the madman who killed people in the street right under the emperor's feet.
But the man just glanced at her and lowered his head to concentrate on drinking tea.
Madam Wei took two steps back and tried to turn around and leave. Wang Chan and Chun Chan immediately raised their hands to block her at the door, forcing her to turn around and push her back.
Lan Cui brought a cup of tea from inside, placed it on the table opposite the couch, and then stood behind the chair.
Yan Wan pulled her mother, smiling sweetly and meaningfully, "Mother, please sit down."
Mrs. Wei was shaking so much that the chair was almost trembling. The hand holding the teacup was almost unsteady. She wanted to take a sip, but the tea splashed on her chin.
Yan Wan quickly took the handkerchief and wiped her mother's face, her movements were gentle and her attitude was gentle, "Mother, why are you so careless?"
Madam Wei swallowed her saliva, pulled Yan Wan's clothes, leaned close to her ear, looked at the person opposite her, and asked with a forced smile, "Yan Wan, who... is he?"
Yan Wan raised her hand and covered her lips with the back of her hand. Her eyes moved as she softly said only two words, "Jin Zhong."
"Jinzhong?" Mrs. Wei didn't know what the word meant, "Jinzhong", "Jinzhong", or anything else. She only knew that this was a lawless and ruthless person.
Yanwan chuckled twice, her voice soft and beautiful, as if a spring breeze blowing across the water. "This is the progress of progress, and the loyalty is the loyalty of loyalty." Her round nails lightly brushed the rosewood table she was leaning on.
"Eunuch Jinzhong is a favorite of the emperor." Chunchan leaned over to Madam Wei's ear and explained, "There are only two eunuchs who are favored by the emperor, and one of them is the one in front of you."
Jinzhong then slowly put down the teacup with a warm smile on his face, "Your servant greets Madam Wei." He just expressed respect with his mouth but had no intention of standing up.
Mrs. Wei hurriedly replied, "Eunuch Jinzhong, Eunuch Jinzhong, you have worked hard, you have worked hard." She looked frightened.
