"Thank you for your secret protection so that I can survive to this day."

In the imperial garden, Li Yunxi suddenly bowed and thanked Eunuch Zhang. The latter hurriedly muttered that he didn't dare to accept it. He was about to kneel down and salute, but was lifted up by Li Yunxi and said softly.

"My father-in-law has trouble with his legs and feet. You don't have to kneel down when you see me from now on. I already know about your past with my mother and concubine. It's been a long night, thank you for your hard work."

When Eunuch Zhang heard this, all kinds of mixed flavors came to his heart. His nose was sour and he was speechless and choked.

In front of him was the energetic, tall and mighty new emperor, but he seemed to see Li Yunxi's skinny appearance as a child.

It's not easy, it's too difficult. He doesn't know how long he has been waiting for this moment.

Concubine Shu stood aside quietly, looking at Eunuch Zhang tenderly, and said softly, "Over the years, you have silently sacrificed a lot for me and King Xi. Thank you."

Eunuch Zhang felt extremely guilty, and tears quietly slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"It's because the old slave is incompetent and didn't rescue the empress from the cold palace as soon as possible..."

It turns out that there is a tortuous past between Eunuch Zhang and Concubine Shu.

At first, Eunuch Zhang was just an attendant to Concubine Shu, not a eunuch. When Concubine Shu first entered the palace, she was unsophisticated and was often bullied by other concubines in the harem. Eunuch Zhang often comforted her and gave her advice, and the two developed a mutual affection for each other as they got along. , but due to the disparity in status, they did not express their feelings.

Later, Emperor Kangxi wanted to add some eunuchs to his side, and Eunuch Zhang was unfortunately chosen. He did not want to lose his self-esteem as a man, and even committed suicide by hanging himself from a rafter in order to seek relief. Fortunately, he was found and saved. Concubine Shu expressed deep sympathy after learning about this. , bribed the steward of the cleansing room with a large amount of money, and asked him not to cleanse Eunuch Zhang.

Therefore, Eunuch Zhang served Emperor Kang as a fake eunuch, and was appreciated by Emperor Kang because he was good at observing words and emotions.

However, the good times did not last long. Empress Liu accidentally learned this secret. She approached Concubine Shu and said that she would expose the adultery between the two. It happened that at that time, Concubine Shu had just given birth to King Xi, and accidentally took Lan He's cold medicine. She was very depressed. Coupled with the stimulation of Queen Liu's words, she was completely desperate and jumped into the ice lake with Li Yunxi in her arms.

Later, Empress Liu saw that Concubine Shu was really crazy, so she did not expose the matter. When she wanted to use this secret again to force Eunuch Zhang to do things for her, she found that Eunuch Zhang had already committed suicide and became a real eunuch.

Queen Liu had no choice but to give up.

From then on, Eunuch Zhang has been secretly helping Concubine Shu and her son. Empress Liu sent people to poison Concubine Shu's meals several times, but Eunuch Zhang successfully resolved them behind her back.

Princess Pingli was framed by a traitor for participating in a rebellion, and the forged letter pointed to King Xi. It was also the letter that Eunuch Zhang anonymously reported to King Xi, which made him prepared.

Whenever Emperor Kang expressed his dissatisfaction with King Xi, Eunuch Zhang would speak kind words for King Xi and save him from danger several times.

No one knew that when Eunuch Zhang knew that King Xi could finally rescue Concubine Shu from the cold palace, he cried happily all night.

At this moment, the frail and helpless imperial concubine in my memory, who often cried, has become a high-ranking empress dowager. Eunuch Zhang could not reach her in the past, but now he is physically disabled and old, and he has no extravagant hopes. He only wants...

"From now on, you will serve your mother."

Li Yunxi seemed to see the desire in Eunuch Zhang's eyes and expressed his heart's wish.

When Eunuch Zhang heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."

Concubine Shu smiled like a spring breeze and actually took his hand and helped him up.

"Stay with me from now on. I will treat you well."

Eunuch Zhang was embarrassed and quickly took out his hand. He looked at a loss as if he were a young man who was not familiar with the world, which made Concubine Shu laugh.
