Chapter 177 Confession
Jinzhong stood there, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile. His eyes flickered with smugness and cruelty. He spoke slowly, his words carrying a chilling meaning.
Jinzhong's implication was that Li Yu was doomed. His tone was firm and resolute, as if Li Yu's fate was firmly in his hands.
The powder was filled with a lot of good stuff. If even a little bit of it got on the wound, it would quickly corrode Li Yu's body like a demon.
It would cause the wound to fester and ooze pus, and once the festering began, it would never heal. No matter what method was used, there was no way to stop the spread of the poison. Li Yu could only slowly approach the end of his life in endless pain.
Jinzhong's words echoed in the air like a curse, making people feel a deep despair and fear.
He was beaten with a stick and had a large wound running down his lower back. With such a serious injury, it is unknown whether he can survive until next month.
All these good things are used on Li Yu alone, he must make good use of them...
If it were because of the matchmaker, Jinzhong might have spared Li Yu's life. But he should never have thought of harming his master.
Who is that?
Jinzhong couldn't even hold her in his arms, how could he allow him to abuse her?
Not to mention taking any action, even the thought is not allowed.
Everything that happened today was his own fault. He could have made different choices, but he chose to take this dead end.
It was his fault for following the wrong person.
I can only try to be born into a good family in my next life and not end up in this palace again. This palace, seemingly magnificent, is actually a cage full of conspiracy and calculation.
Can eat people
In this palace, there is no right or wrong, only winning or losing.
In this game of power, there is no absolute justice or evil, only winners and losers.
As for right and wrong, only the winner can decide.
Jinzhong raised the corners of his mouth again, stepped onto the palace road bathed in golden sunlight, and went the wrong way with Li Yu, heading towards the road ahead that was becoming brighter and brighter under the morning light.
......
When he finished packing and returned to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor had already finished his morning court session and was having breakfast as usual.
"Are you back? How is Li Yu?"
Jinzhong discreetly studied the emperor's expression and replied cautiously, "He will be sent to the temporary palace at noon. Thanks to the emperor's grace, his life has been saved. However, his injuries are quite serious. I don't know if he can recover... Even if he does, he will have difficulty walking..."
The emperor nodded slightly, a gesture that was gentle yet carried an undeniable majesty. His eyes were deep and bright, and in that instant, a flicker of joy flashed through them. That joy was like a meteor flashing across the night sky, fleeting yet exceptionally dazzling.
This was exactly what he wanted. He was the Son of Heaven, the ruler of the world, and he would tolerate no betrayal. Under his rule, everyone was expected to be loyal and obedient. Those who dared betray him would be severely punished. He wanted everyone to understand the dire consequences of betraying him.
This is the fate of the dog that betrayed him. The emperor's eyes revealed a hint of coldness and determination.
In this way, he wanted to declare to the world that his authority could not be challenged and anyone who attempted to betray him would be subject to the most severe punishment.
"You are his apprentice. Did he tell you anything?"
"Master instructed me to serve the Emperor wholeheartedly and diligently in the future. Master understands this principle, so why am I so confused..."
A flicker of regret crossed Jin Jinzhong's face, a look that dimmed like sunlight obscured by dark clouds. His eyes were fixed on the floor, the wood grain gradually blurring in his vision. Yet, even so, he could still clearly feel the emperor's gaze fixed on him. It was like a sharp sword, piercing him straight in the face, sending a wave of unease and fear welling up within him.
Feeling the emperor's sweeping gaze, Jinzhong felt like a thorn in his back. He quickly bent his body, like a branch bent by a strong wind, humble and cautious.
At this moment, he dared not move for a moment, even breathing became cautious. His body was tense, every muscle filled with tension and vigilance.
He knew very well that the emperor's gaze contained endless majesty and scrutiny, and if he was not careful, it could lead to disaster.
He could only maintain this posture, like a motionless sculpture, awaiting the emperor's next instruction. In this tense and oppressive atmosphere, time seemed to freeze, and Jinzhong's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
After a long pause, the emperor spoke again: "Oh? Really? Did Li Yu mention anything else to you? Did he mention...the queen?"
"This... Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really dare not hide it..."
Jinzhong reacted very quickly and immediately knelt down in front of the emperor, speaking in a panic.
"Master did mention the Empress. He said... the Empress treated her well and asked me to help Yikun Palace if I could..."
He pretended to be afraid, and his voice became softer and softer as he spoke.
As the emperor listened to Jinzhong's words, his expression gradually darkened.
What a loyal servant he is! He never forgets to pave the way for the queen.
Is this Forbidden City the harem of his Aisin Gioro family, or the world of her Ulanara family?
There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he glanced at Jinzhong again: "So what do you think?"
The emperor's voice came from above his head, full of majesty, but it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Jinzhong sensed the danger and immediately kowtowed repeatedly, expressing his loyalty while kowtowing.
"Since I entered the palace, my life has belonged to the Emperor. The Emperor is my only master. Apart from the Emperor, I will not listen to anyone else. I beg Your Majesty to understand this!"
After saying this, he kept kneeling on the ground in a kowtow posture, his palms gradually oozing with sweat.
The emperor was silent for a while. Even Jinzhong was unsure of his thoughts at this moment, so he could only maintain the current posture.
Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, the emperor's voice rang out faintly.
"Get up! You are very smart, much better than your foolish master. Once he leaves, the position of Imperial Chamberlain will be vacant. You should take it! Remember his lessons and don't let me down."
The emperor looked normal as he ate his breakfast, not even glancing at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong was overjoyed when he heard this and continued to kneel and kowtow: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace and will never let you down for your cultivation of me."
Finally, I can hear a few words that I like from this old guy.
