Chapter 186: Wang Tiandong (Part )
Half a year passed in a flash, and Wang Tiandong cleaned the toilet honestly every day. With the new eunuch entering the toilet, he was also considered an “old man”.

Although he is no longer bullied, he is still not very sociable due to his personality and has few friends.

“Xiao Dongzi, someone from Jingren Palace said the toilet is broken. Send a new one and bring the broken one back.”

That afternoon, after finishing flushing the toilet, the foreman eunuch gave an order.

“Yes, Eunuch Li.”

Wang Tiandong took the order and without saying anything more, he changed into clean clothes without any odor and went to Jingren Palace immediately.

Today’s Jingren Palace is the residence of Concubine Jing.

The current emperor was only in his teens, at the age of playfulness. Although he had long been familiar with the affairs of men and women, he was easily bored with the old and loved the new. Concubine Jing had served him since she was in the Eastern Palace, but the emperor had long been tired of her. Although he gave her the title of concubine after he ascended the throne, he did not favor her.

While walking on the road, I was thinking about Concubine Jing’s situation.

In this deep palace, if you want to stand out, you must first be well-informed and know the backgrounds of each master, whether they are favored, and even their temperament.

Wang Tiandong was a young eunuch in the nether chamber, and what he knew was actually very limited. However, he kept the news he heard firmly in his mind, thinking that he might be able to use it someday and thus rise to the top in one step.

But unfortunately, it’s not that easy.

“How do you guys in the bathroom do your job? You brought us a broken toilet this morning!”

Most of the time, they are scolded and yelled at.

After replacing the broken toilet, she was scolded by the maid in Jingren Palace.

“Yes, yes, it was our negligence. Please forgive me, young lady.”

In this regard, Wang Tiandong could only keep apologizing.

Although the other party was a palace maid with a similar status to his, she worked in Jingren Palace, under the Empress’s nose, and had the opportunity to convey a message to the Empress.

Based on this point alone, not to mention Wang Tiandong, even the head eunuch of the bathroom had to behave properly when seeing her.

After all, in this palace, these ladies could take the lives of these young eunuchs with just a few words.

After some flattery, the maidservant was satisfied and Wang Tiandong was able to escape.

“What are you doing? Last time, the Queen said that she didn’t like the taste of dodder seeds, but you still put them in the food. Are you deliberately trying to make the Queen unhappy?”

As I passed by the door of the main hall, I suddenly heard a scolding.

Wang Tiandong turned his head and took a look inside. He saw a chair covered with mink fur in the sun, and a woman in luxurious clothes sitting on it.

The corner of Wang Tiandong’s eyes twitched slightly. This should be Concubine Jing.

A palace maid next to Concubine Jing was standing with her hands on her hips, yelling and cursing. The voice just now belonged to her.

In addition, there was an old eunuch kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear as the palace maids shouted at him.

“Eunuch Liu.”

Wang Tiandong recognized that this was Eunuch Liu from the Imperial Kitchen.

Although he is not the eunuch in charge of the seal, he is also a foreman.

He is much higher in rank and seniority than their leader, Eunuch Li, in the Jingfang.

If you want to stand out in the palace, you need a backer.

Only those who are not welcome go to places like the purgatory, where they can find support.

But this eunuch Liu is different. As the foreman of the Imperial Kitchen, an old man in the palace, apart from his master, he still has a certain power among the eunuchs and palace maids.

After a little thought, Wang Tiandong couldn’t help but put the toilet down.

“Your Majesty, I dare not make you unhappy. My whole heart is for your good.”

Although I’m afraid, I still have to make a few remarks at this time, Eunuch Liu said with a look of grievance on his face.

“Although the smell of dodder seeds is a little worse, it can make up for deficiencies and increase energy. Together with meals, it is the best for your health.”

“Make up for the deficiency? Increase your energy and strength!”

Concubine Jing, who had a calm expression just now, suddenly became gloomy.

As a medicinal ingredient, Cuscuta australis actually has the effect of treating uterine coldness and infertility.

She had tasted the smell before and had specifically asked about it, only then did she know about it.

She was unhappy at the time, but the Shang Shenjian put it in her meal again this time and even dared to say in front of her that it was not enough!

As an old lady in the Eastern Palace, Concubine Jing has not had a son or daughter in all these years, and countless people in the harem have mocked her openly and secretly.

Unexpectedly, now even some servants and eunuchs dare to ridicule her by using medicinal food!

“Somebody come!”

As she became more and more angry, Concubine Jing was about to order severe punishment.

“Reporting to the Queen!”

At this moment, Wang Tiandong came out, knelt in front with a soft cry, and spoke quickly.

“Dodder seeds are warm in nature and sweet in taste. The Shennong Herbal Classic records that long-term consumption can improve eyesight, lighten the body and prolong life! Your Majesty is the most beautiful among all the beauties. People praise your eyes as bright as emerald pearls. How can we not take good care of such a treasure! It is for this reason that the Shangshenjian added dodder seeds to the diet!”

“Like an emerald pearl…”

Concubine Jing calmed down a little, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She was no longer favored by the emperor, and in terms of youth, she was not as good as the new concubines who entered the palace.

But when Wang Tiandong mentioned eyes, it seemed as if he had opened up a new track for her. Her precious eyes were nothing compared to those little girls.

“If that’s the case, it can be considered as a sign of filial piety on your part.”

She ordered someone to bring a mirror and looked at her own eyes carefully. Jingfei’s anger turned into joy.

“It is our blessing to serve the queen.”

Eunuch Liu said this quickly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Tiandong, who was standing by, also breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly showed up with such an excuse just to save Eunuch Liu so that he could be appreciated and cared for by him.

But doing so was actually extremely risky. After all, it was disrespectful to appear before the Empress without being summoned. If he said something wrong, not only would he not be able to save Eunuch Liu, he would probably also be in trouble.

Fortunately, as long as the queen is happy, then there will be no problem.

After that, Concubine Jing said a few more words, waved her hand and let the two leave.

“Scared me.”

After leaving Jingren Palace, Eunuch Liu wiped the sweat off his face repeatedly, and his heart finally settled down.

Then he looked at Wang Tiandong next to him and couldn’t help but smile.

“Thanks to you this time.”

“It is my great blessing to be able to serve Eunuch Liu!”

“You know me?”

“Eunuch Liu is an old man in the palace. He is in charge of the food for the emperor and the queen. Everyone knows him.”

“Haha, you can talk.”

Eunuch Liu smiled again and looked at Wang Tiandong with interest.

“What’s your name and where are you on duty?”

“My little brother Xiao Dongzi is a subordinate of Eunuch Li in the Jingfang.”

“Eunuch Li? Oh, Xiao Quanzi.”

When Eunuch Liu thought about it, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

Wang Tiandong nodded and smiled.

“Okay, I’ll remember you.”

The two men were going different ways, and when they reached a fork in the road, Eunuch Liu said something and left.

“Farewell, Grandpa!”

Wang Tiandong shouted and bowed deeply.

Eunuch Liu’s back straightened instantly, and he obviously enjoyed it.

Back in the bathroom, Wang Tiandong was extremely excited. Although he would not become extremely successful by boarding Eunuch Liu’s ship, at least he could escape from the bathroom, which was a place of shit and urine!
However, things did not turn out as he expected.

For more than ten days, not only was he transferred to the Imperial Kitchen, there was not even any news from Eunuch Liu.

Wang Tiandong frowned, could it be that Eunuch Liu had forgotten?
“no!”

Strike while the iron is hot. After a while, Eunuch Liu might have completely forgotten about him. He had to do something while Eunuch Liu still remembered him. After tossing and turning all night, Wang Tiandong finished his work the next day and went straight to the Shangshenjian.

Eunuch Liu is the only life-saving straw he can hold on to help him leave the purification room. In short, he must not let Eunuch Liu forget him.

But what Wang Tiandong never expected was that as soon as he arrived at the door of Shangshenjian, two eunuchs with sinister expressions suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

“My two eunuchs, I am here to…”

“Come with us.”

Without waiting for Wang Tiandong to finish his words, the two men said something and then walked towards a small path on the side.

Wang Tiandong frowned and followed.

Although he didn’t know where to go or what to do, he knew that as a helpless eunuch in the deep palace, it would be best for him not to resist, otherwise he might die without knowing how.

After about a cup of tea, I didn’t know which palace I arrived at.

“This is……”

After entering the room, Wang Tiandong was shocked again. The person sitting there was not a queen or a noble lady, but a eunuch!
He looked very old, and there were several eunuchs standing beside him, each with a sinister expression.

Although I don’t know who he is, the fact that a eunuch can sit here and drink tea so openly shows that his identity is not simple.

What do you want to do with such a big eunuch?
“I met my father-in-law.”

Wang Tiandong was filled with anxiety for a moment and did not dare to ask. He immediately knelt down and saluted.

“You know me.”

The eunuch glanced at Wang Tiandong and asked softly.

The voice is not loud and is slightly hoarse.

“do not know.”

Wang Tiandong didn’t dare to stand up and answered truthfully.

At this moment, I was extremely scared and didn’t know what would happen next.

“Oh, you look so scared.”

The eunuch smiled and continued.

“That day in Jingren Palace, I saw you talking to Concubine Jing, and you were not like this.”

“small……”

Wang Tiandong’s mind raced. He didn’t see anyone else in the yard that day. Where was this eunuch at that time?

But he didn’t have time to think about it. From the sound of it, it was not because he had done anything to anger the eunuch.

That’s not bad, Wang Tiandong took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said.

“Sir, you are so majestic without even getting angry, just like a god. I am just an ordinary person. When I first saw your true appearance, I was naturally frightened.”

“Haha, this little rascal has a very smooth tongue.”

After a round of flattery, the eunuch couldn’t help but laugh, then nodded slightly and said.

“I don’t lack flatterers around me, but you are smart and clever, and you have a strong will, which is good. I like you very much.”

“Thank you for your appreciation, Father-in-law!”

“Ah.”

The eunuch nodded and continued.

“So, from now on, you will follow me.”

“Following you, father-in-law…”

Wang Tiandong was slightly startled, then his face turned red with joy and he kowtowed hard.

“Thank you, father-in-law! Thank you, godfather!”

“Godfather?”

Hearing these two words, the eunuch was slightly stunned.

The eunuchs serving nearby suddenly looked gloomy and were about to scold.

But the eunuch raised his hand to stop them and looked at Wang Tiandong with interest.

“When did I ever say I wanted to take you in as my son?”

“I……”

Wang Tiandong was stunned. Eunuchs had no descendants, so they liked to adopt godsons the most.

Therefore, young eunuchs were mostly accepted as disciples of senior eunuchs by the form of godfathers.

Since the eunuch wanted to take him in, he had to become his godfather as well.

But looking at the eunuch’s expression at this moment, could it be that this is not what he meant?

Wang Tiandong’s mind raced, and he spoke immediately.

“I have been an orphan since I was a child. After entering the palace, I have been bullied. I am grateful to you for not abandoning me and taking me with you. I am deeply grateful. Even if you only treat me like a dog, I will still treat you like my father!”

“What did I just say? You really have a smooth tongue.”

The eunuch smiled again, and then his expression suddenly became serious.

“But I also said that you are really smart and quick to react. Well, from now on, you are my one hundred and third son.”

“I… Meet godfather! Meet father!”

One hundred and three? Wang Tiandong was really shocked. The fact that he could have so many godsons showed that this eunuch was of extraordinary status.

But he didn’t have time to think about it at this moment, and kowtowed again, and the word “godfather” in his mouth directly became “father”.

After all, this eunuch has more than a hundred adopted sons. How can he stand out? The only way is to become a biological son! If you want to be a biological son, you must first address him differently.

“Haha, my good son.”

Looking at Wang Tiandong’s filial piety, the eunuch smiled and nodded.

The eunuchs nearby had extremely complicated looks.

A little eunuch, but after meeting for the first time, he unexpectedly transformed himself into a godson.

You know, they have been following him around for so long, but they still don’t have a godson.

Some people admired Wang Tiandong for his good fortune, some people lamented the unfairness of fate, and some people looked at Wang Tiandong with secret fear in their hearts.

This kid is not simple.

“All right.”

After a moment, the eunuch spoke again and looked at Wang Tiandong.

“You already acknowledged him as your father, but do you know who he is?”

“baby……”

“Remember that.”

The eunuch poked Wang Tiandong’s forehead with his index finger and said in a deep voice.

“Your father’s name is Ma Yongcheng.”

“horse……”

Wang Tiandong’s eyes widened instantly and he stood there in a daze.

……

Half a year later, with the support of Ma Yongcheng, Wang Tiandong went from being a small eunuch in the nether chamber who was bullied by everyone to the big boss of the East Factory who was feared by both the government and the public!
Wang Tiandong did a great job in each of the tasks assigned to him, and Ma Yongcheng trusted him more and more.

“There is such a thing!”

That night, Wang Tiandong was woken up from bed.

News just came that someone attempted to assassinate Liu Jin!

Although the assassin had been caught, the man was so skilled in martial arts that he almost succeeded, which really scared Liu Jin.

In addition to the guards around Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, the supervisor of the East Factory, was also called in and reprimanded.

Ma Yongcheng was already on his way back to Dongchang. In order to give Liu Jin an explanation, he would definitely hunt down the assassin’s three generations and then kill them all.

“If that’s all, what’s the point?”

After pondering for a moment, a smile appeared on Wang Tiandong’s face. His chance had finally come!
