Chapter 249 [Emperor’s Story 1] Godfather

“Godfather, please don’t. I’m getting up now!”

Chu Jiao pushed herself up, like a carp standing upright, and leapt off the bed, smiling brightly at the person threatening her.

A middle-aged man, who was wearing the uniform of an inner servant, stood before her. No, to be more precise, he couldn’t be called a man, but a eunuch.

The eunuch’s face was deathly pale while his round face sported a pair of squinty eyes, looking slightly comical.

At once, Chu Jiao received the original owner’s memories and knew to not fear him. Instead, she leaned forward with a smiling face and mischievously hammered his back.

When Zhang Shun hurried over from the palace, he could only catch the scene of the original owner sullenly burying her parent’s bodies.

Even though Zhang Shun was pretty influential among the eunuchs, he was still but a mere slave, so how could he storm down to Marquis Weiyuan’s manor and provoke him. Despite loathing Yun Cong for his nefarious actions, he could only take his niece away to avoid calamity. After thinking about it back and forth, he concluded that the palace was the only safe place for his niece. If he cast his niece into the capital to fend for herself, she definitely wouldn’t be able to escape Yun Cong’s wretched claws. However, even if she entered the palace, since Consort Hui was Marquis Weiyuan’s daughter, the Marquis’s children were able to go in and out of the palace whenever they wanted. If his niece were to become an inconspicuous palace maid, there might still be a possibility that she would be called to serve them, which would only put her in harm’s way.

Before Zhang Shun rose to become Chief Directorate for Palace Delicacies, he was merely responsible for the cleaning rooms, but now, the one responsible for that was his current subordinates. After Zhang Shun took things into consideration, he still felt it safer to have his niece where he could see her.

In the previous dynasty, ‘exchanging the crown prince for a wild cat’¹, Zhang Shun thought of an extremely daring idea, which was to erase the existence of his niece all together and turn her into a ‘court eunuch’ that was sold by his poor family to enter the palace! Because small kids grew up quickly, after just a few years, her appearance would grow unrecognizable, and as long as the overlord, who quickly got bored of his things, knew that ‘Chu Jiao’ was dead, he certainly wouldn’t put two and two together.

Just like this, the original owner finally entered the palace after surpassing many twists and turns, becoming a small eunuch of the Chief Directorate of Palace Delicacies, and even acknowledging Zhang Shun as his ‘godfather.’

She appeared clever, and even though she was dressed as a man, she was still very charming. Zhang Shun taught her at his side, becoming both her godfather and master. When the palace maids and eunuchs at the side saw them, they could only lament how the original owner was born with a good appearance and had met such a reliable godfather.

“Today, we’ll be going to Consort Rong’s Qiu Xi Palace (Autumn’s Dusk Palace), so you better behave yourself!”

“!” Chu Jiao put on a serious face, obediently receiving the meal box from Zhang Shun and following him to the Dong Liu Palace.
