Lin Zhuwei looked at the shadow holding the python and said, "Amu, go and bring him in."

Amu nodded and left with the black python.

Eunuch Yuan then breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Lin Zhuwei, who had a frosty face.

He could never figure out when he had offended this popular figure in front of the emperor.

Just as he was thinking, two figures, one large and one small, appeared at the door. Eunuch Yuan subconsciously looked over.

"Young Master!" He blurted out in shock, his jaw dropping.

Lin Zhuwei's eyes frowned, and she walked closer to him step by step. Her eyes were like cold swords, and her voice was cold and stern: "So, Eunuch Yuan knows this young master in front of you?"

Eunuch Yuan was shocked and tried hard to restrain himself and calm down.

After working in the palace for many years, if he didn't have some cleverness, he would have died hundreds of times.

So he reacted immediately, shook his head with a fake smile: "Doctor Lin is joking. I just recognized the wrong person. I am old and my eyes are dim. I really can't help myself. Alas."

"Really?" Lin Zhuwei sneered and waved at the little guy, "Daoxin, come closer and let him see it clearly."

"Yes, sister." Dao Xin stepped forward obediently.

Lin Zhuwei suddenly grabbed Eunuch Yuan's hand, placed two fingers on his meridians, and asked again: "Eunuch Yuan, you have to take a good look this time!"

Eunuch Yuan wanted to pull his hand back, but Lin Zhuwei used so much force that he couldn't move.

Eunuch Yuan looked at the familiar face in front of him and was already flustered, but he kept saying, "I really don't recognize him. I wonder what Doctor Lin wants me to recognize?"

"You're lying!" Lin Zhuwei suddenly yelled angrily, "Your pulse suddenly became rapid and your heartbeat quickened. You can't fool me! You have seen him before! You gave him something at Ciguang Temple, right?!"

Eunuch Yuan turned pale, gritted his teeth and shook his head repeatedly: "What Ciguang Temple? I have never even heard of it!"

Lin Zhuwei suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled his clothes up, revealing the sword-shaped pattern on the back of his hand.

This pattern was the only reason why she went to so much trouble to save him.

Eunuch Yuan became even more panicked and visibly nervous.

"Daoxin, have you seen this pattern in a temple?"

Dao Xin took a closer look and nodded immediately: "Yes! This is the pattern, I've seen it before!"

Lin Zhuwei nodded and ordered, "Amu, take Daoxin down first."

"Yes, young madam." Amu did it quickly.

Lin Zhuwei's eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice, and he fiercely shot at Eunuch Yuan, and asked in a cold voice: "So, Eunuch Yuan, it was you who brought Daoxin to the temple personally, and you would visit him in person every once in a while..."

Eunuch Yuan hurriedly pulled down his clothes to cover the pattern and said, "Doctor Lin, I have no idea what you are talking about. I just saw that the pattern was pretty and carved it randomly..."

Lin Zhuwei stared at him closely, not missing any changes on his face: "You have been serving in Changning Palace since you entered the palace. So, it was Concubine Jia who ordered you to go to the temple, right?"

"Old slave..."

Lin Zhuwei suddenly interrupted him, her voice sharp and frightening: "So, Daoxin is Concubine Jia's son, right or wrong?!"

Eunuch Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and his expression could no longer be described by a single color.

After a long while, he looked horrified, shook his head repeatedly, and said bitterly: "Doctor Lin, why do you want to slander Concubine Jia like this?! Concubine Jia is a concubine bestowed by the Emperor. You slander her like this, it is a capital crime!"

Lin Zhuwei sneered, pulled out a silver needle from his sleeve pocket and waved it in front of Eunuch Yuan.

"Lin, Doctor Lin, what are you going to do?!" Eunuch Yuan was terrified, "Every word I said is true..."

"If you can survive my silver needles and still keep your mouth shut, I will believe you."

Eunuch Yuan was in despair: "Doctor Lin, please let this old slave go..."

Before he finished speaking, an inch-long silver needle pierced into his index finger.

"what!"

Eunuch Yuan wailed, almost convulsing in pain: "Doctor Lin, please show mercy... please show mercy..."

"Eunuch Yuan, have you remembered?" Lin Zhuwei said sarcastically, holding up the second silver needle.

"Doctor Lin, please stop making fun of me...ah..."

There was another scream, and Eunuch Yuan's body was shaking like a sieve. He gritted his teeth, and his lower lip was bitten. He looked horrible.

But he still clenched his teeth and didn't reveal a single word about Dao Xin.

He looked at Lin Zhuwei timidly, curled up and hid in the corner.

Lin Zhuwei sneered, looked at the bloody silver needle coldly, and said: "Humph. Eunuch Yuan, you have to think it over. If you tell me the truth, I can guarantee your life will be safe. If others find out, I'm afraid you will lose your head."

Eunuch Yuan couldn't help but shudder, and blood rushed to his head, but now that things had come to this, he had to take a gamble.

He gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Doctor Lin, I have a clear conscience. The Concubine Jia has been very kind to me. If you insist on slandering her, even if you report it to the Emperor, I will defend her until my death."

Lin Zhuwei curled her lips, played with the silver needle, said nothing, stared at him leisurely for a long time, then suddenly turned and left.

After the door was locked, Amu clenched his fist and asked in a low voice: "Madam, I have plenty of ways to make this guy talk. Do you want me to serve him?"

With the twelve tortures in the army, not to mention an old eunuch like him, even the well-trained soldiers in the barracks could not withstand five of them.

The cruelest form of punishment is to torture a person's spirit and make him unable to live or die.

Lin Zhuwei shook her head calmly: "It doesn't matter whether he says it now or not."

Amu asked in confusion, "What does the young lady mean? Aren't you going to investigate the matter?"

Lin Zhuwei pursed his lips and said, "Investigate. But confessions made under torture cannot be trusted. Even if it comes before the emperor, he can still change his confession temporarily. If he turns the tables, it will be counterproductive."

Amu suddenly realized and nodded.

Lin Zhuwei glanced at the door lock before saying coldly, "I want him to speak out his words."

"is it possible?"

Lin Zhuwei sneered: "If he hadn't died last time, how could he be really afraid? He kept this secret just to save his life. There's no need to lock the door tightly. You're tired too, go back and rest."

Having said that, she turned and left. Amu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He laughed softly, then turned and left.

At night, Eunuch Yuan was pacing in the room, extremely anxious.

Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and a series of noisy voices shouting, "Fire! Fire!"

Eunuch Yuan was startled, but when he heard the noisy crowd all walking in the opposite direction to the west, he suddenly smiled as if he had survived a disaster and hurried to the door.

He listened attentively and saw through the crack in the door that the fire on the opposite side was getting more and more intense. The security guard at the door also ran over to help put out the fire. At this moment, there was no one outside the door.

God helps me too!

Eunuch Yuan suppressed his ecstatic heartbeat and pulled hard at the door, but it wouldn't open.

In his anxiety, he kicked the wooden door hard, but unexpectedly the door lock opened with a bang.

Eunuch Yuan ran out immediately and looked around vigilantly.

The Lianxinju was on fire, so how could anyone care about him?

Eunuch Yuan quickly tore off a piece of clothing to cover his mouth and nose, then ran in the opposite direction of the crowd.

Only after running out of Lianxinju did Eunuch Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment and ran towards the harbor again.

At this moment, if you want to save your life, you can never go back to the palace.

Fortunately, there was a serious plague in the palace, and many slaves died. The palace was in chaos, so his disappearance was simply believed to be a death from the plague, and he was taken to a mass grave and buried.

It's a good time to escape!

As long as he changes his identity, changes his appearance, stays away from the palace, and keeps those secrets to himself, he will be able to survive in the world.

He hurriedly boarded a smuggling boat and left the capital.

In the night, a dark shadow followed closely behind him, a pair of deep eyes staring at him.

The young lady is indeed very good at predicting things.

After Ah Mu reported this to Lin Zhuwei, she just nodded and said, "Just send someone to keep an eye on him. I will make arrangements for the rest."

"Young Madam, what should we do next?" Amu asked.

Lin Zhuwei suddenly curled her lips and smiled, and two words came out of her mouth, which scared Amu: "Search the palace!"
