Chapter 84 The Eunuch in the Cold Palace 3 (The End)
Xiao Pingzi occasionally went to the Empress's palace and heard Fu Zhenxin cursing and swearing while taking care of Wanlong Emperor's concubine.
Influenced by Consort Ru's false pregnancy, nowadays, when a concubine is pregnant, three imperial physicians are needed to examine her pulse.
All I can say is that the effects of that old, stale poop are just too good.
This time it was by chance that Emperor Wanlong was unwilling to talk about the matter, otherwise she, as the empress, would definitely have been criticized.
After all, our Emperor is hard-hearted and not the type to show mercy to women.
Xiao Pingzi frequented Consort Yin's place, and he often heard her admiring herself in the mirror, holding a jade comb and calling out her lover's name.
In her opinion, it would have been a huge loss for Wanlongdi not to eavesdrop...
When I'm not looking in the mirror, I'm practicing dancing.
That drive was no different from that of a corporate slave trying to escape to shore.
Perhaps not wanting to be ridiculed and continue living a life of taking advantage of others' misfortunes, she planned to take advantage of Consort Ru's confinement to raise her rank.
There was also the Empress Dowager, who secluded herself in her palace and always acted as if she was about to die.
Xiao Pingzi thought she still had several decades to live, and perhaps she could even share the same lifespan as Emperor Wanlong.
Severing all emotional ties and love is the key to longevity!
Wasn't the reason why Wanlong Emperor lived longer than his father?
His father had a white moonlight in his heart, a substitute lover, and a dead original wife by his side.
That's why they went to the underworld to meet their ancestors so early.
The Empress Dowager could only lament that the late Emperor died so young, before she even had a chance to make her move.
In his spare time, he would listen to the palace servants tell interesting stories about Consort Ru. If he was happy, he would order someone to spread the news outside the palace.
I wonder if her good sister, upon hearing about Consort Ru's excrement outside the palace, felt like fainting on the spot.
……
Following the aroma of food, Xiaopingzi arrived at the imperial kitchen once again.
Ah, these ham and fish balls are pretty good today, I'll have a plate.
You should also have a plate of each of the following: spicy shrimp hot pot, Sichuan-style chicken, and steamed fish.
Milk cake, almond cream, eight-treasure duck, shredded chicken porridge, and rice cake can be packed up for takeaway.
The person left satisfied after eating and drinking to their heart's content. As for whether they would be punished for not having enough food?
Don't worry, everyone. The food the cooks kept is enough for him to have another meal.
Just give them a mental suggestion before they leave, so they feel like they ate it themselves.
Consort Ru's palace no longer receives subsidies from Emperor Wanlong.
She eats mushroom stewed chicken and scallion noodles all day long; when asked, it's just to cleanse her intestines.
I wonder which of her arch-enemies came up with these brilliant ideas.
Consort Ru is now only hoping that His Majesty will lift her confinement as soon as possible.
So that she can go to the imperial kitchen and order some spicy dishes to eat.
As she pondered this, she stopped what she was doing.
She didn't know if the shoes she made for Eunuch Yao Si, who served His Majesty, would fit.
Hopefully, Qiuyu is a reliable girl, and that Eunuch Yao Si will put in a good word for her.
She completely forgot that Qiu Yu had previously revealed her pregnancy, and that Qiu Yu had summoned the imperial physician, making it known to everyone...
But making shoes for eunuchs?
If she had simply made a pair of shoes for her aunt, it wouldn't have been this horrifying...
Even the system couldn't figure out what was wrong with Consort Ru's brain.
However, those boots were never actually given away.
Eunuch Yao thought it was Qiu Yu who wanted to give it, but little did he know that Consort Ru was acting strangely.
This is truly a case of needlessly tarnishing someone's reputation!

Xiao Yi had no control over the Wanlong Emperor in the palace and continued to wander the world as a wandering knight.
I traveled all over this place where people were half-bald.
They raided many human trafficking dens along the way.
As for human traffickers? They'll be chained up and sent to work the fields for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi also acquired quite a few estates for himself, all of which were ill-gotten gains.
For some young wives or girls whom their families didn't want, she could only find them a mountain, clear out the wild beasts, and let them live their own lives.
"I really don't understand humans," Xiao Yi thought, somewhat puzzled. "Why are they so keen on buying and selling their own kind?"
Forget it, this isn't something a puppet should be concerned with.
Sometimes, when Xiao Yi came across something new and delicious, he would make a special trip back to the palace to deliver it to Xiao Pingzi, who was living in the Cold Palace.
Although it can also be stored in the system space, Xiaopingzi can get it directly.
But then there would be no sense of anticipation.
......
Uncle Liu and his family are barely surviving in Liu Family Village, and it seems they won't live to see the winter.
The villagers were already getting restless, discussing how to divide their houses and land after the man died.
After all, this is different from the situation of Liu Laosi's family. Both of Liu Dabo's families were dead, so it doesn't count as them forcibly taking over.
They dared not touch Liu Laosi's house and land.
The tragic situation of those two families back then was something that people would never forget for years.
This will also serve as a wake-up call for these scoundrels for a few years, so they won't have the guts to persecute those poor and helpless people of their clan.
Xiao Yi would come over to inspect from time to time, and occasionally he would pretend to be a ghost in Liu Laosi's house.
Later, I got annoyed and asked the system for a formation plate. When I entered, I had a ghostly illusion.
They will automatically become invalid when they leave the small world.
……
Emperor Wanlong was a man who was both unlucky in marriage and long-lived, a trait he likely inherited from his grandfather.
Empress Fu Zhenxin worked diligently and always put the Emperor's needs first, but she outlived him and died, leaving behind only a sickly son.
Emperor Wanlong was saddened by Empress Fu's passing, but he quickly thought of the fact that he did not have enough legitimate sons.
At the suggestion of his court officials, after several refusals, he finally welcomed the new Empress Yu Zhongwan into the palace.
Consort Ru hid in her bedchamber, licking her wounds alone.
She was thinking to herself, "Why can't my brother, His Majesty, see me?" and was waiting for him to give her a proper title.
Emperor Wanlong also felt bitter; how could the Empress Dowager still be alive...?
He truly didn't want to get close to Consort Ru; every time he did, he felt like he was selling himself.
And spending too much time with Consort Ru seems to influence one's behavior, making one forget just how outrageous she can be.
In his harem, not a single concubine was willing to take action and send her to the Cold Palace.
If the Empress Dowager knew, she would probably laugh herself to death.
After all, she now hates everyone equally.
The closest Consort Ru came to the Cold Palace was when she was framed for plotting against the imperial heir, with someone trying to oust her and take the throne for themselves.
Xiaopingzi was a little worried that Consort Ru's presence would affect his already limited intelligence, so he took it upon himself to collect the evidence from her bedchamber.
The perpetrators assumed it was the Empress Dowager who was behind it, and then things calmed down.
Xiaopingzi: There is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you...
He remained in the cold palace until the deaths of Emperor Wanlong and the Empress Dowager.
At this time, Consort Ru became an old concubine full of sorrow and grief. She had never given birth in her life, which can be considered as gaining experience in this position.
The empress has been replaced three times. With her brother, the emperor, gone, she knows she'll never be able to reach that position in her lifetime.
There are even more regrets now.
Qiu Yu is the best; she stays by my side no matter what happens…
By this time, Xiaopingzi had become a veritable veteran eunuch, and was considered quite senior in the palace, since few eunuchs had lived as long as him.
The system became engrossed in editing Consort Ru's autobiography until Consort Ru breathed her last, clutching a box of armor.
The old nanny Qiuyu felt that the restraints on her body had finally disappeared, and she wished that she would never meet Consort Ru again in her next life.
