I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 385 Shocking Conspiracy
Eunuchs who don't want to be eunuchs are not good eunuchs. For those who have reached the pinnacle of power, the pain of falling down again within two days is ten times worse than the pain of never reaching the top.

"You dare not take this young eunuch seriously for all the messy stuff." Young eunuch Zheng said bitterly, turning to call the few eunuchs following behind him: "Come here and teach him the rules."

Jiao Mu didn't know Luo Qianhuai's true identity, but she was someone that his grandfather would respect. If Master Zheng was humiliated here today, he would probably skin him alive.

"Who dares to take action!" He strode out and scolded the young eunuchs: "You all know who I am, Jiao Mu. If you dare to disturb the errands of the Ling Supervisor today, I'm afraid you will die. How do you write this! When the time comes, Master Zheng has an old favor with His Majesty, how many lives do you have to lose? "

He suddenly showed his domineering attitude, which made the young officials stunned.

"Zheng Shaojian, Jiao Mu just said that he is under the emperor's orders." A young eunuch said carefully.

Zheng Shaojian looked at those hesitant eyes and felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

He strode forward, pushed away the burning wood that tried to block him, pinched Luo Qianhuai's chin with his hand, and lifted it up hard.

Luo Qianhuai didn't expect him to be so forceful, so he moved his eyes upwards and met Young Supervisor Zheng's eyes.

"Are you Jin'er?" Zheng Shaojian's pupils shrank and he murmured.

All Luo Qianhuai could do was never admit it.

"Slave Heitu. Master Zheng admitted the wrong person." She said in a rough voice.

Zheng Shan quickly discovered the difference between the two after being surprised before.

Although the facial features of the person in front of her are very similar to Jin'er, her skin is yellow and rough, far worse than the smart and beautiful little palace maid before.

But there is no difference between these dark and clear almond eyes.

"Kurotsuchi?" He raised his eyebrows, let go of his hand, and said, "I have never seen you before. Which palace are you from?"

Jiaozuo had already arranged the issue of identity for him, so Luo Qianhuai answered without hesitation:

"This slave is currently in Yeting, and has just been transferred to Yutang House for service."

"Yutangshe?" Young Master Zheng's lips curled up: "You are born like this, it would be a pity to go to Yutangshe. Why don't you just follow me, I will definitely protect your future, how about that?"

He thought that His Majesty was still obsessed with that Jin'er, and now that he had such a similar appearance next to him, he could feel a little happier.

Once His Majesty is in a good mood, his anger with him may disappear. If he keeps beating the drum in the future, he won't have to worry about not being able to return to his former high position.

He never thought that the young eunuch in front of him would refuse. After all, Zheng Shan was also the most trusted person around His Majesty during the Long Qian period. Although he has encountered a slight setback now, in the eyes of the lower palace people, he is still a high-ranking and powerful object of attachment.

No one else knew who lived in Yutang House last night, but he had already gotten the news. That man was not welcomed by His Majesty before, and now he is a severely injured and dying prisoner. Even if he is not dead for the time being, he will not survive until the case is settled. Who is willing to serve such a person.

But Luo Qianhuai's answer was completely different from what he thought.

"The slave is stupid and only knows how to obey orders. If Master Zheng wants to transfer the slave, he can just go to Yeting to ask for someone." This statement sounds reasonable at first, but Zheng Shan has been in the palace for how long. There is a sense of rejection in it.

He frowned and glanced over coldly: "Who do you think you are? I am willing to ask for someone, so you have no choice."

When he said this, his eyes inadvertently fell on Luo Qianhuai's earlobe and froze suddenly.

The shape of the earlobes of this eunuch named Kurotsuchi is extremely round and delicate, and there is an almost imperceptible hole on each earlobe!

Zheng Shaojian has seen so many women in the palace, how could he not recognize what this means?
He took two steps back and looked around Luo Qianhuai carefully with wide eyes. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was inexplicably similar to the palace maid Jin'er, both in body shape and appearance.

An incredible idea suddenly popped out of his mind.

"You, you are..." He pointed at Luo Qianhuai, and his usually smart speech suddenly became a little stuttering due to excessive excitement.

If it is really what he thinks, then there must be a shocking conspiracy in it! Zhang Shichang, Jing Yuan, and Jiao Zuo are all slaves to the emperor, but they are colluding together, and they must have some agenda! And as long as he can reveal the key to this, he will surely become the most trustworthy and useful person around His Majesty again!

Thinking of the glory in the future, Young Master Zheng's blood, which was almost boiling, gradually cooled down. We must not alert the enemy, he thought.

"Oops." Young Supervisor Zheng slapped his head suddenly: "Look at my memory, I forgot that you, Jiao Mu, are carrying an errand on your back! What I just said was just a joke, you don't have to mind - —Let’s go wherever we go!”

As soon as he let go, Jiao Mu and Luo Qianhuai felt relieved and quickly left. Only then did Luo Qianhuai realize that his back had been soaked with cold sweat at some point.

It wasn't until he was very far away that Jiao Mu spoke hesitantly:

"Ah Tu. Have you ever met Mr. Zheng before?"

Luo Qianhuai has actually been thinking about Zheng Shan's actions just now. She had a thick layer of yellow powder on her face and neck, and had changed into the clothes of a young eunuch. There was a big gap between her image and the previous time she entered the palace. But seeing Young Supervisor Zheng's performance just now, she should still have doubts, or even I also want to take myself to my side and take a closer look.

Fortunately, he probably gave in for the sake of Jiao Lingjian later.

She just hoped that this matter would end here and nothing else would happen again.

Naturally, she wouldn't tell Jiao Mu too much about the past.

"No." She said, "Zheng Shaojian probably thinks that I am born with a good face."

"It's okay if you don't have it." Jiao Mu said, leaning towards her side and whispering: "Um, I have something to ask of you, little one."

Luo Qianhuai knew what he was worried about, so he nodded in agreement and said, "I'm not a talkative person."

"Thank you very much!" Jiao Mu loosened his fists in his sleeves, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, thought for a while and then explained: "Actually, those were all from when I first entered the palace. It’s happened, it’s been several years since now.”

"At that time, the little one was born thin, and there was no one to protect him in the palace. He didn't have enough to eat all day long, so he wanted to find someone to support him. But Mr. Zheng looked down on the little one's miserable life and let people die. Damn it. On the contrary, Jiao Lingjian looked serious, but he had kind thoughts in his heart, so he took me over, gave me a meal, and gave me a name. Even if I was broken into pieces, I would definitely repay Jiao Ling. A great favor from the supervisor”
