During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Lan Shui and Lan Xin saw that the empress refused to leave, so they didn't leave either.

"Get up." Jiang Miao's voice was still gentle,

But Zhong Huai felt like a light on his back, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his body, making him dare not raise his head.

Just when Jiang Miao thought he would always be like this, he suddenly found that the ground under his feet was wet.

Jiang Miao's expression softened a lot, and even her tone slowed down a lot.

"Are you crying for yourself or for me?"

"Zhong Huai is ashamed of your Majesty's trust."

Zhong Huai said in a hoarse voice, his head lowering lower and lower.

"I know about you and the two beauties, and I also know about you making false accounts."

Jiang Miao stared at Zhong Huai's head, "Actually, when I first found out, I was angry. I wanted to slap you twice, but now that I see you, I'm suddenly not so angry."

Zhong Huai raised his head in surprise, and after meeting Jiang Miao's gaze, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, you should be angry."

"I really should be angry."

Seeing that he was still kneeling, Jiang Miao sat down and said, "Get up and talk!"

Zhong Huai remained motionless and sniffed, "My dear, please let me kneel, so that I can feel better."

"But I look down and see that you are very tired."

When Zhong Huai heard this, he immediately stood up and stood there with his hands and feet shrinking, his head always lowered.

Before coming, Jiang Miao had obviously prepared a lot of words, but she swallowed them when she reached her lips.

"I heard that Your Majesty said that you have embezzled a lot of money from me, probably tens of thousands of taels of silver. Your two women also did a lot of things in my name?"

Zhong Huai pursed his lips, nervously grasped the corners of his clothes, and stared at the ground.

"Yes, I didn't know what they were doing in private. Later I found out that I couldn't control it anymore. My Majesty knew what happened next. It's all my fault. Please let me go." Wife and kids.”

Up to this point, Zhong Huai asked for nothing but to keep his family safe.

"When I learned that you didn't care about the life and death of your wife and children, I was angry and wanted to cut you into pieces. You are greedy for money. What I hate most is that men like the new and hate the old."

Jiang Miao said: "But the people from the Supervision Department told me that you did this so that they would not be implicated if something happened, so I understood."

"I guess you are worried about being exposed when you overeat and don't know how to deal with it, so you use this method to reduce your anxiety?"

"Yes, whenever I think about what they did and what I did, I don't know how to face you and Your Majesty. I can only rely on eating to stop myself from thinking so much?"

Zhong Huai knelt down again, "Zhong Huai is guilty."

"You are indeed guilty. I will punish you to help me guard the nursery. Once you manage the nursery, the money you owe me will be written off."

Zhong Huai raised his head in shock, "Mother, do you still trust me?"

"Distrust."

Zhong Huai: "..."

After doing such a thing to him, how could the empress still trust him.

"I don't trust you, but I don't have anyone I can use. Besides, killing you won't make up for my losses. Maybe you can still be of some use to me if you are alive."

Lan Xin said: "My dear, he has betrayed you after all. Do you really want to use him?"

But Lan Shui said: "If you want to use him, you can let him enter the palace as a eunuch!"

"..." A flash of panic flashed in Zhong Huai's eyes.

Lan Xin said with a smile: "This is a good idea. Isn't he lecherous? After becoming a eunuch, he will no longer be deceived by women." Lan Shui felt that his opinion was very good, "What do you think, my Majesty?"

Jiang Miao couldn't bear it, "You can't be serious!"

The two of them nodded at the same time. For such a traitor, it would be too advantageous for him to become a eunuch in the palace.

The empress and your majesty are not harsh people. To betray the master is to be ungrateful. There is no need to be soft-hearted towards ungrateful people.

"This?" Jiang Miao hesitated. Every man seems to be greedy for money and lustful. Zhong Huai just has little self-control. It's too much to let him lose his life just because of this.

Zhong Huai was afraid that Jiang Miao would be in trouble, so he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the empress can give me a way to survive, I am willing to enter the palace and become a eunuch."

Zhong Huai knew that it was the empress' favor that allowed him to live and leave a whole body, but the empress not only did not intend to kill him now, but also planned to re-enable him.

How could he embarrass the empress?

"Forget it, since I plan to use you, I have never thought of hurting you. You just need to take it as a warning. This is the last time. If you dare to do anything that is sorry for me in the future, I will never give you another chance. ”

Zhong Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly found that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. "Thank you, empress. Zhong Huai's life will be yours from now on. You can take it away at any time."

"If you do anything sorry for me, I will definitely kill you."

"The new nursery is still under construction. It is expected that we can move there before winter. I will give you two days to adapt. If you don't understand, you can ask Lan Xin."

Zhong Huai nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Miao asked someone to take Zhong Huai down to understand the situation.

A hint of worry flashed in Lan Xin's eyes, "Empress, aren't you worried that Zhong Huai will betray you again?"

"Then it's too miserable for me!"

How bad her character is, betraying her again and again.

Lan Shui chuckled and lowered his head, "Madam, Sister Lan Xin is right. Even if you want to give Zhong Huai a chance, you can't trust him too much. You have to beat him from time to time."

"Makes sense."

Soon, Zhong Huai's appearance changed. The gray linen clothes on his body became a bit more plain, and he seemed to be the same Zhong Huai as before.

"The most important thing right now is the children's clothes and shoes. The person in charge of this is Xiao Wen. Let Lan Shui tell you."

Lan Shui nodded and told Zhong Huai about Xiaowen.

When Zhong Huai heard that there was something wrong with Xiao Wen, he immediately became vigilant.

"Do you want me to stare at her?"

"You keep an eye on her in the nursery, but you don't have to do it outside."

In other words, there are people outside who are watching, and they should not just be watching everyone in the nursery.

A chill ran down Zhong Huai's spine, and his head subconsciously dropped a lot.

Lan Xin found the steward and asked him to take care of Zhong Huai. The steward came out of the palace. Zhong Huai looked at him and thought of how he almost entered the palace and became a eunuch, and his attitude was quite respectful.

Luo Tingye knew that Zhong Huai was taken away by Jiang Miao.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has softened her heart."

"The little girl is right. Keeping him is more useful than killing him. However, since Zhong Huai has committed a traitor, he must not be punished and let the house cleaners go."

"But didn't the empress say not to let him?" Feng Jizhong made a gesture.

Luo Tingye picked up his pen and wrote a line of words, "I am not forcing him, let him make his own choice."
