Eunuch Hai Really Was One of Their Own

The eldest princess was genuinely angry and dragged Zhou Wanwan straight out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, she trembled with anger. "That Noble Consort Ning is getting more and more arrogant."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "I really don't understand why you're all so accommodating to her?"

The eldest princess sighed and looked at Zhou Wanwan, saying:

"Noble Consort Ning now controls the government, and most of the court officials are in cahoots with her."

Moreover, everyone supports the Crown Prince; there's simply no way to fight him.

Zhou Wanwan asked softly, "What about the emperor? Didn't he accomplish anything?"

The eldest princess shook her head and sighed:

"Him? My younger brother is as naive as a child; he's no match for Noble Consort Ning."

He listens to Noble Consort Ning very much. Didn't you see that he didn't dare to contradict Noble Consort Ning at all?

Zhou Wanwan also found it unbelievable. An emperor actually listened to a concubine? Who was he trying to convince? Nobody would believe it!

As soon as Zhou Wanwan arrived home, she saw Eunuch Hai rush in and say, "Oh dear! My Little Ancestor, I've just gotten back and you've already caused me a lot of trouble."

The eldest princess looked coldly at Eunuch Hai and said, "What are you doing here?"

Eunuch Hai quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, please calm your anger. I've come to see Zhou Wanwan."

The eldest princess pulled Zhou Wanwan behind her and said, "What do you mean by this? What are you doing here looking for Wanwan?"

Eunuch Hai said with a wry smile, "Princess, we're all on the same side. Let's talk this out."

The eldest princess snorted coldly, "One of our own? Eunuch Hai, Zhou Wanwan may be easy to fool, but I am not. What you've done deserves a thousand cuts, and you call yourself one of our own!"

Eunuch Hai looked at the eldest princess and said:

"Your Highness, there are some things I had no choice but to do."

After all, I served Consort Noble Consort Ning, but I am now indeed Zhou Wanwan's person."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Grandma, Eunuch Hai is really one of us, don't worry!"

The eldest princess pulled Zhou Wanwan aside and said:

Do you know what kind of person that old geezer is?

In any case, behind the scenes, Noble Consort Ning was given all the things she didn't want to do, including murder and arson; he was utterly wicked.

You should stay away from people like that; he's no good.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Actually, he's not like that behind the scenes; he has saved many lives."

He's definitely one of us, don't worry! I'll ask him what's going on.

Zhou Wanwan walked out, and Zhou Wanwan Eunuch Hai looked at her and said:

"My Little Ancestor, Noble Consort Ning wants you to come to the palace tomorrow. I don't think it's a good thing. Why don't you just run away tomorrow!"

I'll have the caravan take you directly back.

The eldest princess nodded and said:

"No, no, no, you leave the capital now, and I'll have my guards protect you as you leave."

Those are the bodyguards my father left me; they're very capable, so you don't need to worry.

The princess looked at the female officials and said, "Hurry up and prepare the bundles, the carriage, some dry rations, and some silver! Quickly!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the princess and said, "Grandma, I want to go to the palace."

The eldest princess shook her head and said:

"Wanwan, this palace is a den of thieves. You see, I rarely go into the palace."

The palace is now in a state of chaos, with the concubines fighting fiercely.

My younger brother is a good-for-nothing, and that Princess Jianing is a complete troublemaker.

Do you know those princes? They're all wicked. If you go in, it'll be like a lamb entering a tiger's den!

Seeing the Princess's anxious expression, Zhou Wanwan said, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm very capable! Besides, if Noble Consort Ning can't see me, who knows what kind of big move she'll be planning?"

Eunuch Hai nodded and said:

"That's true. Noble Consort Ning had already sent people to wait outside."

She'll bring you to the palace first thing tomorrow morning; it's to prevent you from running away.

They've come with ill intentions!

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Go back and tell her that I will definitely go to the palace tomorrow."

Eunuch Hai left with a sigh.

The princess was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. "Wanwan, I can't bear to leave you. Why don't I go to the palace with you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the princess and said, "Grandma, don't worry, they can't hurt me."

It's just palace intrigue, isn't it? Don't act like nobody's knowledgeable.

Although she had never actually entered the palace, she vividly remembered the scenes from the TV dramas of her past life.

She was particularly curious about what palace intrigue was really like.

The next morning, the princess had her dressed up, and Zhou Wanwan boarded the carriage sent by the palace.

The eldest princess followed along:

"Wanwan, if anything happens, just send someone back to me."

I will visit you in the palace often, don't be afraid, I'm here for you!

The Eunuch Hai nearby, gestured with his chin and said, "Princess, please don't worry! Nothing will happen."

Although Eunuch Hai was also worried, he was in the palace and could take care of things if anything happened.

Moreover, he knew something about Zhou Wanwan's abilities.

Anyway, he can't beat Zhou Wanwan, but I wonder what it will be like when he goes to the palace.

The eldest princess slipped a large silver Yuanbao to Eunuch Hai and said, "Eunuch Hai, I wasn't nice yesterday. You must take good care of her, understand?"

Eunuch Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will do my best."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Oh! Let's go then! Maybe we can still make it in time for breakfast!"

She hasn't had breakfast yet!

Upon entering the palace, she was led directly to Noble Consort Ning, where she saw Lu Yao and Lu Zhiwei.

The two people were taken aback when they saw Zhou Wanwan. Lu Yao frowned and asked, "Zhou Wanwan, how did you end up in the palace?"

Lu Zhiwei was also startled. "When did this jinx enter the palace? Your Majesty, you must be careful of her."

Noble Consort Ning looked at them helplessly and said, "She's just a six-year-old girl, what are you all afraid of her for?"

Lu Yao quickly advised, "Your Highness, this is no ordinary little girl; she is extraordinary."

Lu Zhiwei nodded and said, "I suffered a lot at her hands, and I know that all too well."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Isn't this an old friend? You're living quite comfortably in the palace!"

Unlike me, so pitiful, I had to come to the palace to serve Princess Jianing.

Noble Consort Ning took a sip of tea, glanced at her sideways, and said:

"It is your good fortune to be able to enter the palace and serve Princess Jianing. Don't take your good fortune for granted."

Zhou Wanwan, you're pretty amazing. I heard your takeout business is doing really well, but it won't last much longer.

"And those shops you have in the capital won't be open for much longer either."

What does that mean?

Zhou Wanwan looked up at Noble Consort Ning, Noble Consort Ning smiled faintly and said:

"You don't think you can keep doing such a profitable business forever, do you?"

Little girl, you're too naive, though you are quite clever, it's just a pity."
