Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 7 The Emperor has been childless for ten years (7)
  After Zhihua exited, Chu Jin looked at her back for a long time, then came back to her senses and looked at Eunuch Mingfu beside her.

"She misses her parents so much. Is it possible that they loved her very much before entering the palace?"

It is said that if you enter the palace, you can have a good life, you can save a lot of money, and your life will improve a lot after leaving the palace. But no matter what, he is still a slave in the palace, something to serve others.

They are superiors, so it's not like they don't know the twists and turns, but there's no need to pay attention to such things. He was very doubtful about this. If he really loved his daughter, would he consider sending her to the palace?
  When he thought of the scene where the parents disliked her in every possible way after this woman went out, his heart became frightened.

Women who usually enter the palace are either sold into the palace or come in on their own initiative. But most of them are forced to do so. If they are not desperate, they will not take the initiative to enter the palace and become slaves.

Eunuch Mingfu hesitated for a moment, "Zhihua's family, I have seen her situation before. She also has two younger brothers who were only ten years old when they were sold."

Thirteen years have passed in a flash, and he has grown into his current slim appearance. After such a long time, and because she was still young at the time, she might not have felt that there was anything wrong with her parents about her family.

Chu Jin nodded clearly, with a bit of expectation in his eyes. Even this royal family favors boys over girls, let alone ordinary people?

"You should take more care of her. After all, I can't help her."

"The slave understands."

Zhihua's life in the palace was very comfortable. If she didn't leave the inner palace, almost no one would make things difficult for her. Moreover, she did not have to call herself a slave in front of the emperor. This honor made all the palace ladies envious, but they did not dare to be jealous.

So on weekdays, many palace maids came to her side, chatting and laughing, trying to bring the relationship closer between the two.

She had no idea about this. It was better to make friends with one more person than to offend one more person.

Life seemed to be calm for a few days, but in fact, several palace maids and eunuchs had been secretly arrested. Imprisoned in prison, the warden is responsible for typing information out of their mouths.

Chu Jin was sitting on a chair nearby, stroking the faucet on the handle with one hand and twisting the Buddhist beads with the other, with a lazy expression that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Your Majesty, this slave is wronged! This slave really doesn't know anything. This slave is really wronged."

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. I have been wronged. I dare not deceive the Emperor!"

Several palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and kowtowed, hoping to wash away their grievances. This prison is actually also known as death row. Once you enter, you will never get out alive.

Many people have been executed here. Although they are desperate, they still hope to find a glimmer of hope.

"Noisy." Chu Jin frowned slightly.

The jailer on the side immediately stepped forward and gave several people a slap in the face. The crisp sound almost echoed in the prison.

There are various instruments of torture placed on the long table not far away. Those torture instruments were even stained with dried blood. After the first glance, people didn't dare to take a second look, for fear that the torture instruments would be used on themselves.

"Tell me, what have you done? I don't want to ask you a second time." His tone had no ups and downs, but inexplicably made people feel a deep sense of fear.

This feeling does not come from an inexplicable reason, but because in the first two years after Chu Jin ascended the throne, many people did not take him seriously due to the turmoil in the court. In those two years, he suppressed many ministers with iron-blooded methods, and the number of maids and eunuchs in the harem also changed.

He killed too many people at that time, so he almost earned the reputation of a tyrant. At that time, there was a flood in Daqi. He sent many ministers to rescue, and took out a lot of money and food from the treasury and sent it there.

In view of his iron-blooded methods, no one dared to do anything under his nose, so the mission was completed very well, and the losses and casualties of the people were relatively low. There was no epidemic after the flood. Compared with several incidents in history, this time it was not handled too well.     So in the eyes of the people, he is a wise king.

Later, these people became obedient and he did not continue like this, but the image was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Chu Jin could have just waited for the people below to find out the matter and then report it to him. There was no need to come over to see it. But in this matter, he lost too much face.

He was drugged without knowing it, and after forcing himself on the young palace maid, he was refused entry into the harem.

I really lost all my dignity.

At his signal, the punishment of the eunuchs and maids began. In order to prevent them from biting off their tongues during torture and to prevent them from making unpleasant screams, the jailers would stuff cloths into their mouths.

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing the instruments of torture approaching step by step, they shook their heads in fear and wanted to retreat, but there was no way to escape.

The emperor's spies are everywhere in the palace. It is actually very simple to find out who drugged the soup, so these people are definitely not innocent. But who is the master behind it, you have to cross-examine it carefully.

Eunuch Mingfu looked at the painfully twisted faces of those people and couldn't help but shook his head. If he did such a thing, he should know what kind of consequences he would have to endure.

Once the punishment begins, unless the emperor calls to stop, even if they want to, they can only wait for the punishment to end.

After one round passed, several people sat on the ground sweating profusely, as if they had been fished out of a water prison.

The cloth strips in their mouths were torn apart, and they gasped weakly, their pupils trembling, unable to accept the next round of punishment.

"I said, I said, I said."

"It's the medicine Zhiyuan gave to the slave. She said that if the slave didn't do it, she would kill the slave's family. Your Majesty, the slave has no choice but to do it!"

"No, that's not the case. This medicine was given to me by Aunt Mingxin. I don't know the specific situation. I'm guilty. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The medicine passed through the hands of several people, and was finally sent to Concubine Shu's palace, then into the small kitchen, and finally poured into the soup.

Concubine Shu thought that everyone in the kitchen belonged to her, so she didn't notice anything was wrong. The result of the silver needle test was indeed that there was no poison.

I just didn’t know that it turned out to be that kind of tiger-wolf medicine.

When Eunuch Mingfu thought of something, he leaned close to Chu Jin and said softly: "Your Majesty, among the maids who were sent out of the palace two days ago, there is Mingxin. It's just that... she stayed in that pool for a while."

The implication is very clear.

Chu Jin pinched the Buddha beads in her hand, her eyes darkening a bit.

This Mingxin is a maid in the cold palace, but before that, she was the queen's personal maid.
