On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"Are these people more noble than my prince?"

Ning Luo asked cryptically.

It was too straightforward, and I was afraid that Eunuch Li would not dare to answer.

Sure enough, Eunuch Li also spoke cautiously after nodding: "Speaking of it, it is a trivial matter for the war king to occupy Xu Guogong's carriage. After all, Xu Guogong himself has done a lot of arrogant and domineering things. There are censors in the court to attend to him every day, so the emperor does not He asked the King of War to return the carriage to him, and also said that the King of War is not able to walk well now, so it would be best for him to use Duke Xu’s carriage."

Hearing this, Ning Luo smiled softly: "It seems that the King of War still has some weight in the emperor's heart. I was very worried before."

"The emperor naturally thinks highly of King War." Eunuch Li added: "The emperor often praises King War in front of the ministers as the stone pillar of the Yan Kingdom and the god of war who protects the country."

Ning Luo sighed inwardly, this emperor was cunning and two-faced, and he could have deceived the eunuch as well.

But she didn't know that no matter how courageous Eunuch Li was, he didn't dare to speak against the emperor, and he didn't want her to know the emperor's deep thoughts. Otherwise, if the war king knew the inside story, he would definitely be depressed or hate the emperor.

I don't know any better.

Ning Luo sighed softly: "It's a pity that the War King is poisoned now and will die soon."

"God is jealous of talents." Eunuch Li said regretfully.

"I also admire the heroic War King, and I just want to accompany and take care of him during his lifetime. It's a pity that he is angry that I have no talent and virtue. Now I am in the palace to be disciplined. I'm afraid I will never return home, right?"

Ningluo covered her face in sadness.

Eunuch Li couldn't bear it and advised: "Prince Zhan, don't think about the worst. As long as you are cautious, you can still leave the palace."

Ning Luo said something, then changed the subject: "Eunuch Li, who else have we offended?"

Eunuch Li was unprepared and was tricked by her.

"It's the Crown Princess and the Imperial Concubine." Eunuch Li lowered his voice: "Please, Princess Zhan, please don't reveal this matter to outsiders, otherwise my life will be in danger."

"Okay, thank you Eunuch Li for the photo, I know it well."

Ning Luo no longer asked him about this matter, but started chatting with him about home affairs.

Ask him when he entered the palace and what he did at home before. Are there any close clan members?

After all, money can buy people, and a little care can maintain relationships for a long time.

What Eunuch Li is willing to reveal is enough to prove that he is worth winning over.

Talking about these daily routines made Eunuch Li very relaxed, so he started talking.

"Old slave's hometown is Hezhou. Before entering the palace, my family was so poor that we were starving to death. My parents gave birth to us three sons and three daughters. When I was ten years old, my hometown suffered a famine, and only my sister and I survived. I sold myself to work as a maid so that I could have the money to come to Kyoto to make a living."

"It's a pity that I was young and weak, so I couldn't find a good job, so I ended up working as a young eunuch in the palace. Later, I saved enough money and asked someone to take out the contract of prostitution for my little sister. I took her to Kyoto to settle down and marry a poor man. At first, I thought he was a scholar, so I entrusted him with the job. Unexpectedly, the scholar turned out to be useless. He failed many times in the scholar examination, and he died of illness the year before last. Now that my younger sister is poor, she still needs me to give her some gifts. We need money subsidies to live on.”

Ning Luo's heart was touched when he heard this: "You are a good brother. This brotherhood is very valuable. I really envy your sister."

Eunuch Li smiled bitterly: "Hey, she is my only blood relative. If I don't help her, who will I help?"

Ning Luo said: "I just bought a wine shop, which is Zuixian Pavilion on East Street. I am short of people to wash dishes and vegetables. If Eunuch Li doesn't dislike my small temple, he can let your sister go there to look for shopkeeper Cui to find work. , I can pay her thirty taels of silver every month, so that she can support herself and you can serve the emperor with peace of mind in the palace, how about that?"

This kind of help made Eunuch Li extremely happy.

"If Princess Zhan is willing to help, I will be grateful."

Eunuch Li quickly bowed to thank him.

"Then I'll pay her two months' monthly salary first."

Ning Luo took out six taels of silver from the baggage.

"In the month since I have been in the palace, please ask her to deliver meals to the King of War every day."

"If I can leave the palace in the future and take charge of Yunshang Pavilion myself, when the time is right, I will transfer her to Yunshang Pavilion to do some light work."

Eunuch Li hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Princess Zhan, for your consideration for us ordinary people."

Ning Luo said gently: "We are all poor people. If we can help each other, we should naturally help each other."

"I grew up in the countryside and know that it is difficult for poor people to make a living."

This sentence further moved Eunuch Li.

Therefore, he took the initiative to tell more inside stories.

"It is said that Princess Zhan and Prince Chu are not compatible?"

"The emperor summoned you to the palace this time because the imperial concubine is dissatisfied with your monopoly on Ning Mansion's property."
