“He was actually chosen by Chief Eunuch Yan. I don’t know what kind of shitty luck he got.”
“That’s right. I heard that Chief Eunuch Yan has chosen another place for him to live. He will move out of the inner eunuch’s mansion today. When Xiao Yuzi recognized Chief Eunuch Yan as his adoptive father, he still lived and ate with us in the inner eunuch’s mansion.”
“Tsk, who made Xiao Yuzi not have a good face? Chief Eunuch Yan likes fair and clean boys like Xiao Yanzi the most.”
“Hush, dare to make jokes here, are you not afraid of being heard? Be careful about your life.”
Along the way, Yu Yan heard a lot of malicious comments.
The people in the inner eunuch’s mansion were all rootless. As early as the day they were castrated, they were no longer complete people. They were either extreme and irritable, or sensitive and inferior. Including Yu Yan, there was no normal person here.
At this moment, Yu Yan was favored by Chief Eunuch Yan, the most powerful person in the palace besides the Emperor. So, how could he not attract a group of jealous people?
However, those people also knew the methods of Chief Eunuch Yan, so they only dared to discuss it in a very low voice.
They didn’t know that Yu Yan’s five senses were far superior to ordinary people. They thought that their voices were low enough and Yu Yan couldn’t hear anything.
He also pretended that he couldn’t hear it, went straight back to his room, and then closed the door.
At this time, no one would disturb him.
In the inner eunuchs’ mansion, young eunuchs like Yu Yan who had not yet been assigned to various palaces lived in the most remote back house, with a large bunk bed, where ten to fifteen people could sleep in one room.
Since Xiao Yuzi became Yan Zhongying’s adopted son, the people who originally lived in this house were driven out by him for various reasons.
Among them, Yu Yan was the least ‘sensible’ and had been unwilling to move out on his own initiative. Therefore, Xiao Yuzi was angry with him, and not long ago, Yu Yan was tricked into falling into the water, contracting the disease and missing the last assessment.
Yan Zhongying thought that he was calculating Xiao Yuzi for this reason, but he didn’t know that when he refused to move out of the house, which made Xiao Yuzi resent him, he had already started his calculation.
In the eight years since he awakened, Yu Yan had been silently observing everyone around him, from the young eunuchs like him to the Emperor’s concubines.
He didn’t have much contact with the latter, so his understanding was limited.
But the former was the same kind as him, and he was facing each other every day. The frustrated young eunuch, the arrogant eunuch who was appreciated by the noble, Yu Yan figured out himself and others.
He gradually understood the common or rare personality preferences of this kind of monster, who was neither male nor female.
Yan Zhongying had always been the one he paid the most attention to, but as a high-ranking and powerful eunuch in charge, Yu Yan also had no way to get in touch with him frequently.
Therefore, he could only start with the people he valued around him, and at the same time, he analyzed this person based on some rumors in the palace and Yan Zhongying’s style of doing things.
Before Xiao Yuzi, he had three adopted sons.
The first adopted son was ten years ago. The other party was He An, the eighth-rank eunuch. Yan Zhongying supported him all the way to the sixth-rank deputy eunuch.
Unfortunately, He An was bribed by the First Prince and had second thoughts. He was suppressed by Yan Zhongying and soon abandoned by the Emperor.
The second adopted son was six years ago. He was Yan Zhongying’s fellow villager. It was said that they were related. It seemed that for this reason, Yan Zhongying was more permissive with him.
The man seemed to really think that Yan Zhongying was a kind-hearted elder. He gradually took Yan Zhongying’s orders lightly.
Later, this man destroyed a furnace of elixir that the Taoist priest determined was very likely to be completed. Even though Yan Zhongying pleaded for mercy, he was still executed by Emperor Qian.
Whether it was the furnace of elixir that was destroyed by this man, it was no longer possible to verify at this time.
The third adopted son was adopted three years ago. It was funny to say that he was only three years younger than Yan Zhongying, but he called him godfather affectionately.
Unfortunately, he had impure intentions from the beginning and tried to replace Yan Zhongying’s position.
Yan Zhongying and the Taoist priest directly framed him as his horoscope and Emperor Qian were in conflict with each other, so he was turned into a human pill alive.
