After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

After Ji Yin killed the assassin, he sat there for a while to relax with lingering fear, then quickly stood up and walked to the side of Fan Mingchu's "corpse", squatted down and lifted up Fan Mingchu's upper body. Seeing that his eyes were slightly open and he seemed to be still breathing, he quickly let him lean on one of his shoulders.
He also checked the wounds on his body - the sword wound on his chest was fatal, and the sword wound on his back was also very close to his heart. Although neither of them was fatal, blood was still oozing out of the wounds. His lips were so pale that they blended into his face, and it was obvious that he had lost too much blood and his life was in danger.

At this time, Wang Zhifei and a few others had approached. They had just seen from afar the scene of Fan Mingchu blocking the knife... If they had not been too late to get close, each of them would be willing to be the one to block the knife for Prince Ying Geng.

But at this moment, Wang Zhifei saw that it was Fan Mingchu who was "stabbing him in the back", and he was incredulous, so he couldn't help but want to ask the reason: "Your Highness, why is this happening?"

Because he did not hear the story of Fan Mingchu that Xiao Qian told Ji Yin - as soon as he led his troops into the palace, he was stopped by the messenger sent by Xue Feng. The messenger reported to him the confrontation in Fengyi Palace. After hearing it, he hurried to capture the little emperor, but when he arrived here, the story had already ended.

Ji Yu did not answer Wang Zhifei's question, but gestured to Wang Zhifei and others, asking them to wait for a moment, because he had something to say to Fan Mingchu, who was on his deathbed.

"Eunuch Fan...Sir, Lord Fan, wake up, wake up quickly!" Eunuch Fan almost blurted out again. Last time he blurted it out on purpose, this time he really almost blurted it out.

Fan Mingchu assisted a brutal regime for personal grudges and disregarded the lives of the people of the world, but he was his savior - he saved him eighteen years ago and saved him again today. Without this person, he would not be alive today - this person's actions were very contradictory. In front of such a contradictory person, Ji Yin's heart was also contradictory, just like he wanted to call him Eunuch Fan in his heart, but suddenly stopped and changed his words, which was a contradiction.

When Fan Mingchu was called, his eyes were fully open, but his look was dim.

Seeing this, Ji Yin quickly took out several pills of different colors from his arms and stuffed them all into his mouth. The pills included Qingxin Pills, Xiaoyao Pills and hemostatic pills. No matter what kind of medicine it was, he was using it as a last resort.

Under the combined effects of those medicines, Fan Mingchu gradually regained a bit of clarity, and his originally dull eyes became slightly more lively.

"Master Fan, can you hear me? But that old lady Xiao Qian punished you personally?"

Fan Mingchu nodded slightly to show his approval.

When Ji Yin checked his wound just now, he saw that the sword on his chest, although it hit the vital point, did not seem to be very professional, so he immediately understood why Fan Mingchu was resurrected - Xiao Qian liked to kill people in person when she was furious. Probably after hearing about Fan Mingchu's traitorous behavior, she was furious and pulled out the guard's sword and pierced his heart. But an amateur is an amateur after all. Although she could find the vital point accurately, she was very unprofessional when she took action. Most likely, she stabbed Fan Mingchu to death just like she stabbed herself 18 years ago. But at least it was much better than Qiao Wan'er.

"Master Fan, why did you save me? It was you who rescued me from the palace eighteen years ago, right? Was it because of my mother?"

Fan Mingchu was silent for a long time, as if he didn't want to answer, but he finally spoke: "Well... after that person passed away, Yun... knew that you and your son would be in danger, so she secretly came to me and knelt down to beg me, begging me to save her son..."

"And you agreed to it, mother?"

"I didn't agree to her. I hated her so much, why should I agree to her?" When Fan Mingchu said this, it was hard to tell whether the expression on his face was hatred or the nobleness of a scholar.

Ji Ying didn't expect him to give such an answer, but it sounded contradictory, the kind of contradiction that he wanted to say but seemed to regret after saying it, and then tried hard to cover it up.

"So you saved me in the end?"

"That's because I found that you were still alive. I just didn't want to kill anyone..."

"Master Fan, if you hate my mother so much, why do you keep her head?"

"I just want to scold her every day and call her a heartless woman..."

"Then why did you block the sword and save me just now, Master Fan?"

"Because I want to keep you so that I can avenge the sword that pierced my heart and kill that old woman Xiao Qian." Fan Mingchu said it as if it were true.

Seeing that Fan Mingchu was about to die, Ji Yu was still stubborn and refused to admit that he had done a good deed. Is this the so-called nobleness of scholars? Isn't this just deceiving oneself and others, and covering one's ears and stealing the bell?

What this person does is completely contrary to what he says, which shows that he is indeed full of contradictions in his heart.

"Master Fan, when I sneaked into the palace, did you recognize me?"

When Fan Mingchu heard Ji Ying's question, he did not reply, but just glanced at Ji Ying's face with a calm look... Ji Ying felt that he agreed.

"Then Lord Fan, when did you recognize me?" Ji Ying was a little curious about this question, so he asked.

"I recognized you the first time I saw you in the palace." Fan Mingchu probably wanted people to admire his extraordinary eyesight, so he answered this question very readily.

"What? How did you recognize him?" Sure enough, Fan Mingchu's answer surprised Ji Yin quite a bit.

"I have carried your body and I know that there is a very small pink mole hidden in your left eyebrow. The color of the red mole is very special, and its shape is a bit like a triangle, which is also very special. There should not be another person with the same mole... and... your face, nose, eyebrows, and eyes are too similar to hers. You have looked alike since childhood, and you still look alike now that you have grown up." Fan Mingchu continued to prove his extraordinary eyesight.

"So that day by the Tingchao Lake, when you saw me for the first time, you thought I looked familiar. After you got closer, you discovered the red mole in my eyebrow and recognized it as me?" Ji Yin recalled the situation that day and instantly understood that the strange look that Fan Mingchu gave him when he got closer that day was not because he was angry after he called him Eunuch Fan, but because he was surprised after seeing the red mole in his eyebrow.

"Not only did I recognize you, I regretted saving you at that time." Fan Mingchu continued to speak the truth. "Master Fan, you gave me a whipping just to see if there was a small scar on my chest after I took off my shirt, so as to finally confirm my identity, right?"

Fan Mingchu did not reply, and looked at Ji Ying with a somewhat empty look.

Ji Ying didn't need him to answer at all. He only needed to look at his eyes to know whether it was right or wrong.

"Why did you expel me from the palace?"

"Of course it's because I hate you calling me Eunuch Fan?"

"Since you hate me so much, why don't you go to Xiao Qian and report me?"

"If I report you, I am reporting the wrong things I did back then. Am I that stupid?"

"Isn't it because Lord Fan is worried that I am too dangerous in the palace that he wants to expel me?"

"I'm just worried that if you are discovered by Xiao Qian, I will be in danger!" Fan Mingchu replied with a sneer.

"What about Qiao Wan'er's mandarin duck handkerchief? Why do you admit it? Don't tell me you really..." Ji Yin originally wanted to say, don't tell me you really like Qiao Wan'er and that's why you admit that you are an adulterer, but he stopped halfway. He wanted to hear what Fan Mingchu himself had to say.

Fan Mingchu didn't say anything. He didn't seem to want to say one thing and mean another on such a question, although he had said one thing and meant another in front of Xiao Qian before. But now, in front of this person, he could admit that he didn't love Wu Yuner, but he didn't want to admit that he loved another woman, and the woman this man liked.

"Lord Fan was actually trying to protect me, fearing that she wouldn't be able to survive the torture and would eventually confess that I was his adulterer... his lover, right?" Ji Ying felt that the word 'lover' sounded better, so he changed his words.

Fan Mingchu continued to remain silent. If he admitted what Ji Ying said, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was protecting him; if he did not admit it, it would be tantamount to admitting that he liked Qiao Wan'er... He did not want to admit either side.

"Master Fan, do you know that I was the one who killed Xu Shixin?"

"I didn't know it at the time, but I knew it wasn't done by Qiao Wan'er alone. There must have been an accomplice. Later... naturally I knew it was you." Fan Mingchu's face once again revealed the look that wanted to show that he had extraordinary eyesight. This time, he probably wanted to show that he was a person who could see through everything and was not a waste in solving cases.

"Since you didn't know that the accomplice was me, Lord Fan, why did you let the Ministry of Punishment close the case quickly instead of digging deeper to find the real culprit? Could it be about Qiao Wan'er..." The reason why Ji Yin wanted to get to the bottom of whether he was protecting himself or Qiao Wan'er was that he wanted to find out what Fan Mingchu really thought of Qiao Wan'er. This might be what Lu Yi said about the jealousy of men!
"Although I didn't know who you were at that time, I knew that you killed Xu Shixin out of love, and she took the blame for you out of love. I just wanted to fulfill your love that lasted until death." As expected, it was more difficult to get Fan Mingchu to admit against his will that he was trying to protect Qiao Wan'er than to get him to admit sincerely that he was trying to protect Ji Yin. Fan Mingchu finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Ji Yin, telling the truth, "And... that is... her name is a bit similar to... Yoona, which reminds me of Yoona, and I... can't bear to see her suffer from torture..."

After Fan Mingchu said so many words, he was probably a little overwhelmed and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his breathing began to become unstable, with it being obvious that he was breathing in less than out.

Ji Yin didn't say anything, just looked at Fan Mingchu quietly - in fact, when he first heard Qiao Wan'er's name, he also felt a sense of familiarity. Perhaps he had the same association as Fan Mingchu.

"When Yoona was alive, I did not agree to her pleading, but the moment I saw her dead body, I regretted it, I regretted it very much..." Fan Mingchu finally decided to stop being stubborn at the last moment.

"So when you found out I was still alive, you saved me." Ji Ying was immediately relieved and no longer had any doubts.

"You are still alive, it must be that God wants to give me a chance to regret again... because the day Yoona... came to me for help... she said... that in the next life... she would definitely... not miss me..." After Fan Mingchu said this, his breathing became more rapid, and his eyes, which had been focused before, gradually became blurred.

Ji Ying quickly held one of his hands and said, "Master Fan, you will be able to see your Yuner soon. When you see her... go and tell her that you have helped her fulfill her wish."

When Fan Mingchu finally closed his eyes, he even nodded slightly, as if responding to what Ji Ying said, and at the same time, he squeezed out his last words from between his teeth: "In the next life... I also... I really want to not miss her again..."

When Ji Yin heard him say such words about the afterlife, he couldn't help but be slightly moved. How much of his mother's promise was true and how much was false, Ji Yin didn't know, but at least he knew that Fan Mingchu should believe it without a doubt.

After Fan Mingchu closed his eyes, the people around him fell silent for a few breaths for some reason.

After a while, a man approached and spoke in a loud voice: "Well, if that's the case, I've changed my mind. Let's leave that bastard Fan Mingchu with an intact body!"

The man with the loud voice was none other than Wang Zhifei, who had been "eavesdropping" on the side and had roughly understood what was going on. After much struggle in his mind, he must have finally decided to let Fan Mingchu's body go.

Many people in this world live for an ideal or obsession. If this ideal or obsession suddenly has no way out for some reason, some people will stop living, some will change their path and start living again, and some will go crazy.

Fan Mingchu probably belongs to the last category - even though he is well-read and knowledgeable, he cannot get rid of the resentment in his mind; even if he finally achieves his goal, he still lives a contradictory and entangled life.

A lifetime of betrayal.
