The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Your Highness, I have heard an important piece of news." Liu Jin smiled flatteringly, "It was Lord Yan who advised His Majesty, so Lord Li cut it off."

Zhu Houzhao smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Is Lao Gao, this dog official, really bad?"

Liu Jin nodded bitterly, yes, Your Highness, Yan Chengjin is not a good person, but he only dared to complain in his heart. If Lord Yan found out, he might go somewhere else.

Zhu Houzhao was happy, threw the iron brush for brushing horse hair on the ground, clapped his hands and said, "Go to sleep, I will go to see it tomorrow morning."

In the early morning, it was dawn.

Yan Chengjin put on his casual clothes and prepared to enter the palace. Today was the day when Li Dongyang would use the knife, and he had to go to the palace to see how the preparations were.

Wang Ji stayed in Yan's house last night. He got up early in the morning, had a meal with Yan Chengjin, carried his wooden medicine box on his back, and followed Yan Chengjin into the palace.

When they arrived at the Meridian Gate, the imperial guards stopped Wang Ji and said that he could not let him go without the permission of the palace.

Not far away, Zhu Houzhao came over with his hands and feet dancing, and his voice was full of obscene smiles: "Let them go, it was me who asked them to enter the palace."

Yan Chengjin and Wang Ji passed through the doorway of the Meridian Gate, and Zhu Houzhao was waiting for them.

"Your Highness, why are you here if you don't go to the Zhanshi Mansion to study?"

Zhu Houzhao was full of energy, and he couldn't help laughing with a straight face: "I heard that Master Li is going to the silkworm room for castration?"

Yan Chengjin blocked his mouth with his hand, and the ministers who were attending the morning court looked over, suspected that they heard that Li Dongyang was castrated? But they quickly turned their faces away, which was impossible.

"Your Highness, don't spread it nonsense, Lord Li's reputation will be ruined, it's for treatment." Yan Chengjin was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would play the role of a loud speaker.

At the beginning, he asked him to keep it a secret for his father, but this guy was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. The next day, the whole capital knew that his father was the welcoming pine.

If this guy goes out to spread the news, Li Dongyang may not be able to stay in the court.

In later generations, people are ashamed to talk about it, let alone the Ming Dynasty where scholars have a reputation for cleanliness.

Zhu Houzhao nodded smartly, indicating that he would not tell anyone.

Yan Chengjin then let go of his hand: "Your Highness, please swear. If you tell anyone, I will kill Liu Jin."

Liu Jin, who was drowsy on the side, was almost scared to death. If your Highness tells anyone, what does it have to do with us...

Yan Chengjin was giving Liu Jin a warning. Zhu Houzhao must have gotten the news from Liu Jin.

Moreover, he couldn't really let Zhu Houzhao do anything. When he really wanted to tell anyone, he would definitely weigh between Liu Jin and Li Dongyang, and would most likely choose Liu Jin, so he wouldn't tell anyone.

Zhu Houzhao was a very trustworthy person, and Yan Chengjin had personally tested this.

Under Yan Chengjin's supervision, Zhu Houzhao swore an oath with ease. Liu Jin looked like his whole family was dead, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Lao Gao, can you tell me now?"

"No, Your Highness, please go to the Zhanshi Mansion to study. I'm leaving now."

Yan Chengjin took Wang Ji to the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched slightly, a little unhappy, and said to Liu Jin beside him: "Liu Banban, go and ask for help for me."

Liu Jin's face turned green. When Yan Chengjin found out, he would be beaten again.

In front of the Fengtian Palace,

Xiao Jing had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Yan Chengjin and Wang Ji coming, he quickly greeted them and said with a smile: "Master Yan, Doctor Wang, the silkworm room is ready."

Who can say that there will be no illness in the future, so even if Wang Ji is not an official, Xiao Jing is very polite.

Xiao Jing brought them to the silkworm room. Yan Chengjin knew at a glance that it must have been rearranged. How could the place where eunuchs castrated be so clean?

In the middle was an operating table. On the wooden rack next to it were castration knives, one curved, one large, and one long, three knives.

Made of gold and copper, it can effectively prevent postoperative infection to a certain extent.

There was also clean cotton cloth prepared.

Next to it was a large rosewood bed, which was for Li Dongyang to live here.

The remaining medicines had to wait for Wang Ji and his son to prepare them. Xiao Jing didn't know what medicine to prepare.

Yan Chengjin also prepared the alcohol distilled in the mansion and brought it into the palace.

All things entering the silkworm room had to be disinfected with alcohol.

Even the clothes and headscarves worn by Yan Chengjin and others were temporarily prepared.

There was no one in the silkworm room, for fear that people coming and going would bring in bacteria.

It was cold and it was not easy to get infected when using the knife. The silkworm room was very warm.

Yan Chengjin asked, "Has Lord Li come?"

Xiao Jing said, "He hasn't come yet. His Majesty has ordered Lord Li to rest enough before entering the palace."

Yan Chengjin said, "Send someone to invite Lord Li, you can enter the palace."

The silkworm room can be prepared in half an hour.

Li Mansion,

Early in the morning, Li Dongyang ordered his servants to prepare hot water, took a comfortable bath, put on the crimson official uniform, and looked much calmer and more energetic.

Li Dongyang was uneasy in his heart. No one told him what to do in the silkworm room, and there was always a trace of worry.

"Let's go, enter the palace."

Emperor Hongzhi granted permission for Liu and Li Qing'e and other family members to enter the palace together.

The little eunuch took Li Dongyang to the silkworm room, here.

Li Dongyang saw Yan Chengjin and showed a little dissatisfaction. This kid didn't go to court today.

Xiao Jing was thoughtful and arranged Liu and Li Qing'e and other family members to the side hall for a feast, leaving only Li Dongyang.

Yan Chengjin followed Li Qing'e to the side hall, but unexpectedly Empress Zhang was there and had ordered people to prepare snacks and tea.

Empress Zhang expressed concern: "Your Majesty ordered me to accompany Mrs. Liu. Master Li is your Majesty's teacher. I am also very worried."

Ms. Liu saluted in panic and said, "My wife dare not. My husband and everyone in the Li family would like to thank Your Majesty and the Empress for their great kindness."

When Empress Zhang saw Yan Chengjin and Li Qing'e, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. Standing together, the two looked very much like a couple.

"I'll talk to Mrs. Liu. You two can do what you want. There's no harm in going around the palace."

She deliberately brought Yan Chengjin and Li Qing'e together. His Majesty would sometimes mention Yan Chengjin's marriage. His father was guarding the border in An Ding, and it was pitiful for Yan Chengjin to be alone and helpless in the capital.

How could Yan Chengjin not understand Queen Zhang's thoughts? He bowed and thanked her: "I obey your order."

Li Qing'e bowed and thanked her and entered the palace. She said very few words, "When will father come out?"

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and showed his concern for his father-in-law: "I'll go take a look."

The door of Jamsil was closed, and Li Dongyang was still wearing official uniform, standing at a loss as to where he was, a little shy and panicked.

Xiao Jing said: "Master Li took out the clothes and lay down on them."

Li Dongyang struggled for a moment, then took off his clothes, handed them to Xiao Jing, and lay naked on the wooden platform.

The ground dragon was burning in the silkworm room. It was a bit hot, so it was just right to take off the clothes.

Xiao Jing brought the warm sesame soup over and said, "Master Li, drink this bowl of sesame soup, and the pain will disappear in a while."

The sesame soup not only contained anesthetics, but also mixed with a little wine. After drinking it, Li Dongyang could no longer feel his hands and feet.

Just then, the door opened slightly.

Yan Chengjin walked in and saw Li Dongyang lying naked on the wooden platform, before he started to use the knife.

When he saw him, Li Dongyang felt a little embarrassed and wanted to turn away.

Unfortunately, after drinking the sesame soup, his whole body was spinning and he could not move.

Outside the silkworm room, Zhu Houzhao saw a young eunuch guarding the door and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you see Lao Gao?"

"Master Yan is inside." The young eunuch said hurriedly after hearing this.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was about to go inside, the young eunuch became anxious: "Your Highness, Master Yan said that it's not the imperial doctor who can't go in."

Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it: "Then how did Lao Gao get in?"

The little eunuch pointed to the extra clothes he had prepared: "Master Yan is wearing these clothes and a headscarf."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes moved, he took his clothes and ran to the side hall to change into them.

He came to Jamshi again, kicked several eunuchs away, and said to Liu Jin: "Stay here, Lao Gao said no one can come in, then no one can come in."

With that said, he gently opened the door and walked in.
