If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

"Yesterday, the imperial kitchen caught two thieves and tied them up under the rockery, but they slipped away while the eunuchs were resting, so we came here specifically to search for thieves." When the eunuch outside saw that the door was open one person wide, he immediately stepped forward and pushed Jin Xi open the door. The eunuchs behind him surrounded Eunuch Li and walked inside.

"Eunuch Li, where did the thief come from? You'd better be careful," Jin Xi saw that the person had already broken in and did not continue to stop him. She trotted to Eunuch Li and stuffed a bulging purse into his hand. Those were the gold and silver jewelry that she had looted from everyone in Bitong Academy before going to bed. Except for a little bit left from the young lady, all the rest were here.

"Aunt Jingxi, this is unacceptable. You are putting our family in a difficult position." Eunuch Li weighed the purse in his hand and said with a smile. The purse was very heavy. Even if it was all silver, it would be more than ten taels.

"Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li, how can it be difficult? Everyone knows that you are the one in charge here. Who among the rest dares to say no?" Jin Xi said while giving a thumbs up.

Zhen Huan put on her clothes and walked out of the house. She couldn't help feeling upset when she saw Jin Xi begging for mercy again. She had fallen to this point again. "Eunuch Li," she called softly and walked forward.

"Eunuch Li, they did something wrong and they should be punished, but Liuzhu is my dowry maid, I really can't bear to see her suffer, please be magnanimous and forgive them this time." After saying this, Zhen Huan performed a deep squat blessing gesture to him, and when asking for help, one should have the attitude of asking for help.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li immediately stepped aside. He did not dare to accept this gift nor did he want to. The Queen in the palace had hinted that she did not want Concubine Wan to return alive, but the six-month deadline was almost up and Concubine Wan was still alive and well. He was afraid that it would be difficult to report. "Concubine Wan, you also know that if you make a mistake, you must be punished. This is the rule of the palace. I cannot disregard the palace rules."

Zhen Huan glanced at Jin Xi, asking if the money had been given. Jin Xi nodded. Zhen Huan continued, "Eunuch Li, can you please excuse me?" Zhen Huan took two steps back. Eunuch Li hesitated and took two steps forward. Zhen Huan continued, "Eunuch Li, you know that I am still a noble. The emperor only confined me here and did not issue any punishment order. What do you think the emperor would think if I died here?"

Eunuch Li glanced at Zhen Huan and frowned, "Lady Wan was weak after her miscarriage and died of illness. What does this have to do with us?"

Zhen Huan frowned inwardly. They had even thought of the cause of their own death. No wonder they were so fearless. "Eunuch Li is wrong. The emperor knows that I am in good health. He would not believe that I am ill. Besides, if I were seriously ill, I would send someone to deliver a message back to the palace. But the palace has not received any news. Do you think the emperor would be suspicious? Not to mention that I was favored before, even if I am not favored, my father is also an official in the court. How could he let me die in such an unclear way? Don't you think so?"

Eunuch Li frowned. He was considering how many chances the person in front of him had to return to the palace and whether the emperor could remember him again.

"Besides, Eunuch Li, let's not beat around the bush. If I really died, the emperor would definitely investigate thoroughly. You and I have no grudges, and I believe you are not the one who wanted me dead. However, I am not the only one who wants me dead in the palace. I don't have evidence, and the emperor can't find him either. If he can't find the culprit, there will be a scapegoat to appease the anger of the emperor and my father, right? Who do you think is most likely to be the scapegoat?" As the saying goes, courtesy comes before force. Jinxi has already given him silver, but it still can't stop him from wanting to kill Liuzhu Xiaoyunzi. So he has to start with herself. She believes that unless he kills herself now, he will have no good life when she returns to the palace alive.

Seeing that Eunuch Li had softened, Zhen Huan continued, "Eunuch Li, you don't have to worry about what to say to the palace. Just tell them the truth that I had a high fever for four or five days and was almost dying. Who would have thought that I would survive? She will only say that it was my fate and will never blame you."

Zhen Huan took out another bag of jewelry from her body and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand, "Eunuch, I still have some days to go before I can be grounded. I'll have to rely on your tolerance for the rest of the time."
