Chapter 178: Old Friends Who Grew Up Together
After walking out of Concubine Yin's Beauty Palace, Gou Chunmei's heart was like a tangled mess, and she was extremely upset.
She has never left her parents since she was a child, and now this sudden training task is nothing less than a terrible nightmare for her.
She knew very well that the so-called training was like endless thorns, full of pain and hardship.
Although she was fascinated by wealth and glory, it required sweat and tears. She was a rich lady, so how could she do such a hard and humble thing?
The identity of the Princess of Miao has not yet been confirmed, but she has suffered grievances one after another from Concubine Yin. How she longs to continue living a carefree and pampered life like before. Whoever wants the title of Princess of Miao can take it!
However, facing the majesty of Concubine Yin, she was like a docile sheep and had no courage to resist at all. At this moment, her heart was filled with resentment.
Just as she was full of sorrow and wandering aimlessly in the palace, she unknowingly walked to the road leading to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Suddenly, a thin eunuch walked past her quickly. The hurried figure seemed to be mocking her incompetence.
The anger in Gou Chunmei's heart instantly erupted like a volcano. It was bad enough that the imperial concubine bullied her, but now, even such an insignificant eunuch dared to ignore her existence and openly walked in front of her!
This is simply a trampling on her dignity and a great insult to her!
Gou Chunmei's willow-like eyebrows knitted slightly, and she shouted sternly, "Stop! Where did this ignorant eunuch come from? How dare you walk past me so rudely? Stop right there!"
The sudden scolding startled Wang Xinyao. She was so busy getting on her way that she didn't pay attention to the palace's red tape.
However, at this moment she was also worried. Although her mistake was unintentional, if she turned around and left, she might cause more unnecessary trouble.
Besides, I am in this palace and I am unfamiliar with the place. It is best to keep a low profile and keep the peace. As the saying goes, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao hurriedly stopped, lowered her head slightly, and respectfully performed a standard etiquette to Gou Chunmei.
At the same time, she said in a slightly panicked tone, "Greetings, sir. I was in a hurry just now because of an urgent matter and didn't see you here. It's really my fault. I apologize to you here. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"
But who would have thought that Gou Chunmei was in a very bad mood today and was worried that she couldn't find a place to vent.
Now that this young eunuch has come to him on his own initiative, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make use of the situation and act as if he is right and will not give in.
Gou Chunmei's eyebrows were raised, her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "You damn eunuch, I'm such a grown-up standing here, are you blind?"
Being insulted like this, Wang Xinyao felt a surge of anger in her heart. She thought to herself: How could this girl be so arrogant and unreasonable!
He could no longer hold back, and suddenly raised his head, looking directly at the woman in front of him.
After a closer look, Wang Xinyao was shocked. It turned out that the person standing in front of her was an old friend who grew up with the original owner.
I didn't expect that after not seeing her for five years, Gou Chunmei is still as vicious and cruel as ever.
Gou Chunmei obviously did not recognize Wang Xinyao. Firstly, Wang Xinyao was dressed as a eunuch. Secondly, she probably could not have imagined in her dreams that Wang Xinyao, whose face was disfigured by her and pushed off the cliff, could survive and still be alive in this world.
Seeing Wang Xinyao staring at her, Gou Chunmei became even more angry.
She scolded, "You damn eunuch, how dare you stare at me? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Before she finished her words, she raised her right hand high, as if to slap Wang Xinyao hard.
Just as Gou Chunmei's palm was about to land on Wang Xinyao's face, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
Then, Eunuch Xu rushed over in two steps, his face gloomy as water, and he growled in a low voice, "Miss Gou, I wonder how my godson has offended you to the point that you have to personally teach him a lesson!"
Hearing this, Gou Chunmei was stunned, then slowly lowered her arm.
She looked at Eunuch Xu in astonishment and stammered, "Hello, Eunuch... Eunuch, is this little eunuch really your godson?"
Eunuch Xu nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Miss Gou, have you forgotten the palace rules? It's not appropriate to hit or scold people in the palace at will. If a servant does something wrong, the master will teach him a lesson."
Gou Chunmei's face turned pale and blue. Although she was arrogant, she also knew that Eunuch Xu was not someone to be trifled with. Even the imperial concubine was afraid of him.
"Please forgive me, eunuch. I was reckless just now. This eunuch bumped into me while walking, and I lost my temper because I was so angry." Gou Chunmei immediately apologized: "Little eunuch, I'm sorry!"
"Okay! Xiao Yaozi, hurry up and go to the imperial study to serve the emperor. The emperor is getting a little impatient..." Eunuch Xu said as he waved at Wang Xinyao, signaling her to leave quickly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, godfather, for reminding me. I'll go there right away." After that, she turned around and left in a hurry.
When Gou Chunmei heard this, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat!
She originally thought that he was just an ordinary eunuch, but she didn't expect that he was someone who could serve the emperor closely.
You know, being able to serve the emperor is an opportunity and honor that not everyone can have. A random word may ruin your father's future.
After seeing Wang Xinyao leave, Eunuch Xu turned to Gou Chunmei and continued, "Miss Gou, I know you have a good relationship with the Imperial Concubine, but no matter what, you must abide by the palace rules. Let's put today's matter aside. I hope it won't happen again."
"Yes, my father-in-law is right!" Gou Chunmei had no choice but to agree and left in shame.
After three times of removing the silver needles, Emperor Zhao Guoan's physical condition finally showed significant improvement.
Currently, there is no need to rely on the transfer of spiritual energy to maintain the mental state, but it will still take some time to fully recover.
After Wang Xinyao and Eunuch Xu came out of the imperial study, they were discussing going to Zhou Yunxi again to see if they could meet Zhao Meir. Just as they were about to leave, Zhou Yunxi sent a confidant to bring the news that Zhao Meir had gone to Nanhu County.
Zhou Yunxi specifically instructed Wang Xinyao to be extra careful in the palace, because the master behind Zhao Meir had already decided to kill her.
