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

That day, after Ji Yin received Qiao Wan'er's "invitation", he hurried back to see Lu Yi and asked him if he knew the existence of such a woman - a palace maid who had a close relationship with Fuzhi in private, the kind that could secretly meet with her in the middle of the night.

Lu Yi was surprised and said that he had no idea. He did not expect that Fuzhi, such an introverted person, would have an affair with a palace maid. Of course, it was normal for him not to know. It was not something that could be seen in public for eunuchs and palace maids to be close friends in private. Moreover, he and Fuzhi did not have a heart-to-heart and open relationship. Such a secret was probably only hidden in the hearts of the two parties involved.

Since this woman had such a relationship with Fuzhi, she must be someone who knew him very well. Ji Yin, the fake, naturally did not dare to go to the appointment. What if he failed to act like the woman and was exposed? Besides, he had no interest in stealing someone's love.

To be on the safe side, Ji Yin decided to investigate the identity of this girl. Based on her appearance, he quickly found out with the help of Lu Yi: she was a palace maid in the Shangyi Bureau named Qiao Wan'er, who entered the palace at the age of nine. Although she has been in the palace for quite a number of years, she may not have much luck in her career, or she may not be very good at scheming, and currently she is only a palace maid of the ninth rank.

Ji Yin sneaked into the palace by impersonating someone else, and the risk of being discovered was everywhere, so he naturally didn't want to cause any trouble. Therefore, the "Red Luan Star" of the previous owner of this identity was a "jinx" to him, and he tried to avoid it as much as possible.

Since he had no experience in relationships between men and women, Prince Ying Geng was at a loss as to how to deal with this "jinx". He went to ask Lu Yi for advice, but found that they were both the same, and Lu Yi was even worse than him. Not only did he have no experience, but he was also missing a part.

After much discussion, the two grown men who had little experience in the romantic world could only come up with a countermeasure by the art of war: adopt the strategy of keeping the troops inactive - not taking the initiative, letting the relationship cool down and end in vain.

Although they were inexperienced, they had read some books about infatuated men and resentful women, and knew that there was a type of woman who, when deeply in love, found herself ignored by a man and might not give up and come back to him again. If that was the case, they would adopt the strategy of "when the enemy advances, I retreat" and stay as far away as possible. After a long period of estrangement, the thought of him would naturally stop. If she still did not give up and continued to pester him, they would cut the Gordian knot and issue a "war declaration": "From now on, I will break off my relationship with you and never miss you again."[Note 1]
The two "military commanders" felt that responding with such a military strategy must be a perfect plan, and this "tough battle" would definitely be won.

Who knew that plans were not as fast as changes? Prince Ying Geng "changed sides at the last minute" and failed to practice the strategy of keeping his troops in place, and ended up delivering himself to the enemy...

On the afternoon of the day when the corpse was transported, Ji Yin was assigned to run errands at Shang Pharmacy alone. On his way back after finishing his work, he happened to pass by the "Unjust Bamboo Forest". Thinking that his mother's death anniversary would be in a few days, he stepped into the forest at will. He only had some vague memories of this place. After sneaking into the palace, he heard a lot of legends about this bamboo forest, some true and some false.

When walking into this very special place for him, Ji Yin became saddened by the scene, and the deeper he went into the forest, the sadder he felt. His mother's tearful eyes would flash in his mind from time to time, and would not go away. It was the scene that he least wanted to recall since his childhood, but which would often linger in his nightmares.

He decided to leave quickly, and when he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard the cry of a woman, which aptly matched the picture in his mind... No matter how calm a person was in times of crisis, he couldn't help but stand up a few hairs on his head: Could it be that there really is the wronged spirit of his mother in this bamboo forest?

I must be too sad and I was hallucinating, so I shook my head vigorously, trying to shake off the sadness and regain clarity.

Sure enough, the crying sound disappeared after shaking my head... I was indeed hallucinating.

Ji Yin's five senses have always been sharp and accurate, and he has to admit that this place is really a bit weird.

However, when he was about to turn around again, the woman's crying sounded again, and this time there was not only crying but also talking! This time he finally understood that it was not an auditory hallucination, but there was indeed a woman crying, and while crying she was saying cruel words about killing someone.

So he tiptoed along the path to the source of the crying and, hiding among the bamboos, he saw the person who had made such a noise - Qiao Wan'er, who was digging a hole in the bamboo forest.

Qiao Wan'er was crying so hard that she naturally didn't notice the approach of Ji Ying, a man with great skills. This was the second time Ji Ying had seen his lover today. The first time was when they were pushing the corpse cart in the morning. She had even caused him to get hit on the hand with a stick... He was indeed a jinx!

The reason why he was so quick to block the stick for her was completely an instinctive reaction when the stick was swung down... He really couldn't bear to watch a weak woman with tears streaming down her face being beaten with a stick in front of him... He originally wanted to close his eyes, but somehow he stretched out his hand.

Logically speaking, when he saw Qiao Wan'er in the woods, he should have adopted the strategy of retreating and slipping away quietly.

But he didn't know whether it was the wronged soul attached to the bracelet that appeared, or the "jinx" in front of him that appeared again. Once again, he chose not to leave, but stayed there and watched quietly for a while.

When he realized that Qiao Wan'er was going to dig a cenotaph for Li Shuxiu, he immediately thought of the silver bracelet of Li Shuxiu that he was still holding in his arms - after the bracelet was "slipped" into his hand, he had not figured out what to do with it.

At this time, seeing Qiao Wan'er digging a cenotaph for her dead sister, she cried as she dug. She was really pitiful - she was ignored by this "unfaithful man" and now she had lost her good sister.

So he "unnecessarily" threw the silver bracelet into the pit dug by Qiao Wan'er - as compensation for this poor man... Either she would keep it by her side as a thought, or bury it in the cenotaph as a replacement for her corpse.

In short, he felt that the bracelet was somewhat out of place on him, and what difference was there between it and taking it from a dead person? This was a good opportunity to "return the item to its original owner".

After throwing the bracelet, he quickly fled the scene. After all, he absolutely could not have any interaction with this jinx.

However, what he didn't expect was that he underestimated the enemy when escaping in the bamboo forest. He didn't run for his life but just jogged to warm up. He thought that when the woman saw the bracelet falling from the sky, she would probably think that Li Shuxiu had appeared in spirit. No matter how brave she was, she would be frightened and stunned for a long time!
Who knew that Qiao Wan'er would take a shortcut and catch up with him - this was something he had never expected!
When he was stopped by his "lover" with a loud shout, Ji Yin broke out in cold sweat from head to toe and almost continued to run away regardless of the consequences. However, he was too thin-skinned to play the role of a big rat that runs away when he sees someone.

Afterwards, he nervously observed Qiao Wan'er's words and expressions in front of her, not daring to say anything rash, for fear that he might say something wrong and be discovered by the other party. Fortunately, the woman complained to him like a dumpster fire after seeing him, and explained a lot of the ins and outs between her and Fuzhi. Ji Yin was relieved then. Not only could he continue the conversation, but the nervous look on his face that he had wanted to restrain but failed to do so actually matched the image of the original owner in the woman's mind - a coward.

When Ji Ying heard Qiao Wan'er say that she was going to be transferred to serve the old pervert, the surprise on his face was really not fake - because he had seen Li Shuxiu's body and the shocking marks on her neck. Even if Qiao Wan'er was not really his "concubine", but just a woman he didn't know, he naturally showed shock when he thought about what this woman might encounter next... Of course, such a reaction was just right given the relationship between the two - the concubine who is about to be "eaten" must be extremely anxious.

The only thing he said about finding a way to take Qiao Wan'er out of the palace was that he really had to harden his heart to say it... He had managed to get in with great difficulty, so how could he bear to leave?

But if I don’t say that, it doesn’t seem to be in line with the identity of a “lover” so I’d better make my attitude clear!
Fortunately, the angry woman didn't believe him at all and shut him up with a sentence "You are bragging again", otherwise he would have been in a difficult situation.
