The next morning.
Ye Ning was still dreaming when he was woken up by the old yellow head.
"Young Master, wake up. We have to attend court today!”
Court?
Ye Ning sat up.
Only then did he remember that he was still an official of the Great Zhou.
Previously, he had nothing to do because Ji Mingyue had specially given him a few days to rest.
Now that the holiday was over, it was time for the workers to return to the court.
"If I don't go to court, will Ji Ming Yue kill me?”
This was the first thought that popped into Ye Ning's mind.
From this, it could be seen how much he wanted to be killed.
However, he immediately dismissed this thought.
He wanted to die, but he was not a fool.
How could Ji Mingyue kill him over such a trivial matter?
Forget it, forget it. I'll go to the imperial court and look for an opportunity.
Ye Ning put on his clothes and rushed to the palace.
After the yellow-haired old man waited for him to leave, he thought for a long time at the door and muttered.
"Does Young Master need a maid now?”
One had to know that there were many things that a clumsy old man like him could not do well, nor was he suitable to do.
For example, making a bed for Ye Ning.
For example, helping him wash up.
She helped him put on his clothes and even warmed his bed…
Don't be surprised, this was the evil old society.
Warming the bed was only the basic duty of a servant.
In the past, Ye Ning was just a small official, but now he was different.
Old Yellow Head had already figured out what had happened in the past two days.
Although it was difficult for him to fully understand with his poor experience, he also knew that Ye Ning was different from before. Now, he was famous throughout the capital and the idol of countless scholars. There were also many rumors in the outside world that he would soon rise to fame and become rich...
In the old man's mind, a high-ranking official must have a maid to take care of him.
Young Master was about to become a high official.
And high officials needed maids to serve them.
In conclusion, Young Master needed a maid.
There was nothing wrong with it.
……
Of course, Ye Ning didn't know that his old servant was thinking about something strange.
He arrived at the palace and entered through the Black Tortoise Gate.
He stopped at the Black Tortoise Gate for a long time.
This sect was not simple. In his previous life, there was a soul-stirring story. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had gone through the changes of the Xuanwu Sect before he ascended the throne.
Memories of his past life would pop up from time to time.
He would never forget it in this lifetime.
However, Ye Ning knew the truth.
The Xuanwu Sect in this world had nothing to do with the previous world.
There were four gates in the palace, all of which were built during Taizu's era. They were named after the four sacred beasts, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger, and the Azure Dragon.
It was said that in the past, these four gates were the formation cores of the entire imperial palace's array.
With this array, no one could break into the palace. If cultivators wanted to enter the palace, they had to report to the emperor because they could not use their magic power or fly.
If they dared to overstep their boundaries, they would immediately be killed by the formation.
The Great Zhou at that time was so domineering.
But now, it had become history. The Four Saints Formation had been dismantled. It was said that the formation was divided into four parts and taken away by the four immortal sects.
The Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger Gates were only the most ordinary gates.
Just from one door, one could feel the rise and fall of a dynasty.
He entered the Imperial Palace and went to the throne room.
He was familiar with this place. As soon as he entered, he automatically hid in a corner and leaned against it. It was extremely comfortable.
However, the current him was no longer that nameless person.
There were many people who paid attention to him. Some admired him, some were jealous, some were resentful, and some were disdainful.
People's hearts were complicated and each had their own thoughts.
"Lord Ye, you're here."
An enthusiastic voice sounded.
"Old Liu, is that you?"
Ye Ning's eyes lit up when he saw someone familiar. He reached out and patted the person on the shoulder.
This person was Liu Jin.
Ye Ning calling him "Old Liu" made him feel more cordial.
He could feel that Ye Ning did not discriminate against him at all.
In this world, this was extremely rare.
Eunuchs were eunuchs. They were physically disabled and were naturally prone to discrimination. Scholars were lofty and virtuous, while martial artists looked down on them. Even they looked down on themselves…
This kind of inferiority complex caused many eunuchs to become distorted.
It was the first time Liu Jin had seen someone like Ye Ning who addressed him as " Old Liu " without any belittlement or discrimination.
He felt warm in his heart and greeted Ye Ning with a smile.
"Hey, Old Liu, why did you change your clothes?”
Ye Ning noticed the difference.
That day, Liu Jin was only wearing the lowest grade of green robes, which looked very crude.
But now, he was wearing a blue robe with exquisite workmanship and the fabric was also high-quality silk.
His spirit, energy, and spirit were also different from before.
"His Majesty ordered me to serve in the royal study.”
Liu Jin said with a smile.
The royal study?
Ye Ning wasn't a noob who didn't know anything.
The eunuchs who could serve in the royal study were all the king's confidants. They could talk to the emperor and often accompanied him.
This was definitely an elite eunuch.
"Not bad, Old Liu. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're already so good.”
Ye Ning was happy for Liu Jin.
Although this guy was a eunuch, he was somewhat patriotic, but he was a little timid.
However, it was still much better than those traitors who had forgotten their roots.
It was only right for such a person to be promoted.
"Same top, same top!"
Liu Jin smiled foolishly.
He actually didn't understand what " top " meant, but he knew it was a compliment, so he went along with it.
He knew in his heart that the reason why he could be promoted and become the head eunuch of the royal study was because of Ye Ning.
Ji Mingyue found out that Ye Ning and Liu Jin had been together that day and had even communicated.
Hence, he summoned him to ask for details. After Liu Jin told him the truth, he received Ji Mingyue's favor, which allowed him to soar.
Liu Jin knew that his fate had changed because of Ye Ning.
Ye Ning was a hero and his benefactor.
He couldn't possibly be a fool living in the palace. One had to know that a person without a heart could not survive in the palace, so although he was smiling happily on the surface, he also had his own thoughts in his heart.
"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. I'm just a useless eunuch and can't do anything for Lord Ye, but I'm still well-informed in the palace. If someone wants to harm Lord Ye, I definitely won't stand by and watch!”
Liu Jin knew better than anyone that the palace was a place where people ate people. Many schemes and plots began to brew in the palace.
He wasn't brave, but he was willing to help Ye Ning avoid the risk.
Ye Ning smiled happily when he met his old friend.
He would never have known that this seemingly honest eunuch in front of him actually had such "vicious" thoughts in his mind.
