Chapter 125: Chapter 125: SquattingWhen Su Jin and Xingxing finished speaking. The nanny no longer knew how to proceed with the ruler in her hand. She was unsure whether to strike lightly or heavily. Because the words from the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion and the maid were clearly a threat. If the palace rules punish so lightly, they wouldn’t be afraid of punishment. With their bandit-like disposition, daring enough to have Princess Shouning carried back to the palace, heaven knows what they might do. One must be cautious. The nanny turned to look at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager’s face was dark as the sky before a storm, oppressive and heavy with tension. The nanny silently looked towards the Empress. The Empress gave a slight nod. Then the nanny knew what to do. She turned her head back. Xie Jinyu extended her hand, glaring at Su Jin, blaming her and the maid for their loose tongues. As a result, the ruler in the nanny’s hand came down hard. Caught off guard— Xie Jinyu let out a cry. Su Jin wanted to laugh but didn’t dare. This was finally starting to look like a real punishment. The point was to let everyone know that provoking her wouldn’t end well. Only when they were all afraid could she save herself from trouble in the future. Of course, this didn’t include others; Princess Nanzhang and Xie Jinyu would only hate her more. But Su Jin didn’t take this too seriously. After all, the dictionary missing a page from Qingyun Mountain didn’t have the word "fear." After the ten strikes, Su Jin leisurely walked away. As for that bottle of medicine, Xingxing gave it to Xie Jinyu. Xie Jinyu’s eyes were blazing with anger, wishing she could stare her into ashes. Xingxing’s feisty temper, gave you medicine, and you still glare at me, no medicine for you then. She stuffed the medicine into her satchel and turned to walk away with Su Jin. As they exited the hall, the palace maids and eunuchs looked at them with admiration, full of respect. They all believed the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion would be carried out of the palace this time, but unexpectedly, she was fine and even forced the Empress Dowager to punish the big girl from Duke Zhen’s Mansion. It was so shocking, like a dream. The maid quietly pinched her own face, grimacing in pain. Su Jin stepped out of Yongning Palace, her mood soaring. Xingxing’s elegant face was full of smiles, not expecting that her kick to the Purple Jade Bracelet not only resulted in the big girl failing to steal the chicken but also incurring the Empress Dowager’s punishment, truly satisfying. Xingxing happily said, "Miss, there’s still half an hour until lunch. Shall we take a stroll in the Imperial Garden, or wait outside the Imperial Study for some leftovers from the Imperial Chef?" Su Jin, "...." This maid really treats the Imperial Palace like her own home. The Imperial Palace is a serious place; can they just wander around as they please? After all, they provoked Princess Shouning, so it’s better to handle their business quickly and leave the palace. As they walked on, Su Jin asked, "Why do you carry so much food when you go out?" "To wait for the Emperor to throw some leftovers from the Imperial Chef outside the Imperial Study. In case the Emperor eats late, and Miss is hungry, you can have a bun to tide over," Xingxing explained. "...." So it was for her. A warm feeling swept through Su Jin’s heart. Xingxing is thoughtful. She makes every effort not to let Miss go hungry. Otherwise, if the Marquis and Madam knew, they’d blame her for not taking care of Miss. Before, when robbing on Qingyun Mountain, the Madam was afraid Miss was hungry, so she sent food to Miss. The aroma of roast duck, just thinking about it makes one’s mouth water. Xingxing was craving it badly. She had never tasted Duke Mansion’s roast duck and wondered how it tasted. She would ask the kitchen to roast one for Miss to try later. Yongning Palace was a bit far from the Emperor’s Imperial Study. And Su Jin didn’t quite remember the way. They wandered for a quarter of an hour before reaching the front of the Imperial Study. Without a summons, they could not approach. Su Jin and Xingxing were stopped by the guards, "The Imperial Study is a key area, do not approach." Xingxing said, "My Miss has been to the Imperial Study several times before." The guard was a bit speechless. Many people had been to the Imperial Study, but if anyone could enter casually, the Study would be bursting. "You wait here, I’ll report to the Emperor," the guard said. Su Jin stopped him, "No need, just find Eunuch Fu for me." The guard nodded. Inside the Imperial Study. The Emperor was in a good mood as he reviewed the memorials. Eunuch Fu stood by to attend to him. A little eunuch approached quietly, "Eunuch Fu, the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion is looking for you." "Looking for me?" Eunuch Fu was startled. The little eunuch nodded. Flashes of memories of being threatened by the Marquis Dongxiang outside the Imperial Study crossed Eunuch Fu’s mind, a truly unpleasant experience. Like father, like daughter. Considering the Empress Dowager and the Empress, both applying pressure, and the Purple Jade Bracelet being destroyed, in the end, it was still the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion who had the upper hand. Such a remarkable person coming to find him definitely meant something important. Eunuch Fu already sensed that after being threatened by a father, he’d now be threatened by a daughter. He wouldn’t go. Decisively avoid it. If he couldn’t provoke, he could at least hide. "Go tell the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion that I ate something bad, have severe diarrhea, am stuck on the latrine, and have no time to see her," Eunuch Fu resolutely stated. "...." To scare Eunuch Fu into "squatting on the latrine," the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion was truly formidable. The little eunuch suppressed his laughter until he was out of the Imperial Study, then his shoulders started shaking. Su Jin waited under a tree, while Xingxing looked around. The gentle breeze, sunlight filtering through the dense leaves, created dappled patterns of golden light. The little eunuch ran over, "Eunuch Fu has diarrhea, has been running to the latrine many times, and it’s still uncertain when he’ll be better. Eldest Young Madam, maybe you should head back first?" "How did he get diarrhea?" Xingxing asked worriedly. "...." It was caused by you. The little eunuch thought to himself but maintained a calm expression, "Perhaps he caught a chill at night." Xingxing looked at Su Jin, "Miss, are we going back empty-handed?" The little eunuch, "...." Going back empty-handed? Did she want to learn from Marquis Dongxiang and rob the Emperor instead? Today there’s no tribute being sent to the palace. Su Jin looked at the little eunuch and thought for a moment before dismissing the idea of having him relay a message. She was afraid the cook at Duke Mansion might be working for Princess Nanzhang, and she was also afraid the Empress might plant someone around her. She could only tell Eunuch Fu in person. Su Jin said, "We’ll wait outside the Imperial Study; I’ll see him once Eunuch Fu is better." The little eunuch, "...." Eunuch Fu feigned illness precisely to avoid meeting them, yet the Eldest Young Madam intended to wait for him... The little eunuch turned back to the Imperial Study to report to Eunuch Fu. Eunuch Fu looked alarmed. Even hiding on the latrine wasn’t enough, there must be something major she wanted to discuss with him. Eunuch Fu was frightened, and upon seeing his unusual expression, the Emperor asked, "What happened now?" Eunuch Fu quickly replied, "The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion seeks this servant, and this servant is a bit scared." The little eunuch chimed in, "Eunuch Fu doesn’t dare meet the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, so she’s waiting with the maid outside the Imperial Study." The Emperor laughed, "Alright, go see what she wants. If she’s determined to find you, there’s no hiding." Eunuch Fu, "...." Already scared enough, the Emperor’s words only made his heart tremble even more.
