Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 25 - : Did You Hit the Wrong Person??
Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Did You Hit the Wrong Person??
The time was already approaching mid-noon, and the temperature was well above thirty degrees.
In the courtyard belonging to the Rituals Office, the etiquette room, Lin Yi viciously tossed a handful of weeds to the ground, his glare also ferociously directed towards the room:
"Damn it, if I don't find a chance to deal with you, you're going to get a proper thrashing!"
Who would have thought just as he muttered this, the room's door suddenly flung open, and immediately following, a ragged cloth shoe flew out.
It struck Lin Yi right on his protruding buttocks without deviating.
Not just that, the old Eunuch's voice was also simultaneously heard:
"Before mid-noon, if that patch of grass isn't cleared, there will be no food!"
Revenge, pure and simple revenge!
Lin Yi was certain, this old codger must have heard his mutterings, hence the smelly shoe toss!
Who knew what kind of Immortal this old Eunuch was, at such an advanced age his hearing was still so good.
Of course, it wasn't just good hearing, his agility was truly remarkable as well.
Which was why Lin Yi had been good-naturedly pulling weeds in this scorching heat.
No choice, those two shoe prints on his butt were from when he was caught slacking under the tree.
"Ah, life is unbearable! 'Serving' the Empress is one thing, but to have me doing hard labor too! This is inhumane!
I have to find a chance, I must slip out of the Imperial Palace!
The Empress might be beautiful, but having traveled back to ancient times, I can't just hang myself on one tree, can I!
Sigh, before slipping away, it would be best to properly 'serve' the little Emperor.
It wouldn't be in vain having traveled through time..."
While he was indulging in these fantasies, the door of the little courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
Then a few eunuchs filed in one after another.
Leading them was the two little eunuchs from the Rituals Office who had looked down on him this morning.
And now, these two were leading the way like two fawning dogs for a senior Eunuch in a plain purple robe.
These Eunuch robes naturally also had their hierarchy.
Take, for example, Lin Yi's current attire of rough blue cloth; it was the lowest ranking Eunuch wear.
Above it was the blue robe, then the purple robe, followed by the black robe.
And each colored robe also had different levels, marked by 1 to 3 stripes embroidered on the cuff.
Three stripes indicated the most senior rank within that color.
Like those two little eunuchs from the Rituals Office who despised Lin Yi, their blue silk robes were embroidered with two black stripes, ranked akin to a small group leader, able to manage a team of around ten people.
And the only black robe Lin Yi had ever seen belonged to one person.
It was that old Eunuch who always followed the little Emperor, wearing a black robe embroidered with three yellow stripes.
He was the most powerful senior Eunuch in the whole Imperial Palace.
At the same time, the use of yellow, exclusive to the Emperor, embroidered on it was enough to show that at this level, one is bestowed with significant Imperial grace.
Of course, there was also an unwritten rule: those with the Emperor's '御' embroidered on their chest were ranked one level above those wearing the same colored robe.
After all, they were the Emperor's personal Eunuchs.
Precisely because of this, those two blue-second-ranking little eunuchs from the Rituals Office acted as humble as two old dogs before the purple-first-ranking Imperial Eunuch.
"Sir, that Lin Yi is in this courtyard.
The courtyard is a bit messy, allow me to call him out."
Once wearing the purple robe, Eunuchs were addressed as 'Sir.'
After all, the term 'Eunuch' came to be in just this way.
Having said that, he prepared to run toward the courtyard inside.
At the same time, the smile on that face also disappeared in an instant, replaced by a face full of arrogance and impatience.
"Little Linzi, hurry up and get out here for me!"
But before Lin Yi could speak, the purple-robed eunuch behind him got angry.
He immediately cursed at the fellow in front:
"Scoundrel! You dog, how dare you, someone come, slap his mouth for me!"
This loud shout startled everyone.
Including the little eunuch who was yelling at Lin Yi in front, his body also shuddered.

He thought to himself that he was still too kind-hearted.
This big eunuch actually came up and wanted to hit little Linzi, this must be giving the other side a show of power.
It seems he definitely has to learn more in the future.
At this thought, his attitude became even more arrogant.
Looking at little Linzi in the courtyard who was staring at him with a confused expression, his look was full of mockery.
He had originally thought that this guy, brought here by a palace lady officer, had some kind of background.
Now it seems, it was nothing special.
But thinking about it, he felt relieved.
After all, which favored eunuchs would be assigned to the bird-shit-free etiquette room?
Everyone knows that this is the least favored place in the entire Imperial Palace.
To put it bluntly, even serving in the Cold Palace would be more comfortable than in this etiquette room.
Especially when thinking of the old monster in the etiquette room, the little eunuch couldn't help but shiver.
In the blink of an eye, the subordinates who followed the purple-robed eunuch had finally reacted.
Without another word, they directly rushed at the blue-robed eunuch who led the way.
In just a few breaths, they had already pinned the eunuch to the ground.
Just like that, the befuddled eunuch was pressed down without understanding the situation.
What does this mean? Why did these guys pin me down???
The next moment, as he was confused, a palm swung around with a whooshing sound mercilessly slapped his cheek.
With a thud, a mouthful of fresh blood and several teeth were spat out by him.
The little eunuch was even more befuddled, feeling extremely wronged in his heart.
He had been busy leading the way and finding people for you; why did you end up wanting to slap my mouth at the end?
The other little eunuch who had led the way was already scared silly.
Watching his companion getting beaten with blood all over his mouth, he really didn't know what had happened.
Amid the smacking sounds of the slaps, the purple-robed eunuch snorted coldly and walked briskly past him toward the courtyard.
Not only that, but under everyone's astonished gaze, he walked straight up to Lin Yi, who was still holding a handful of weeds, dressed in a plain and almost ragged blue cloth robe.
Then, with a completely opposite expression from the anger he just showed, he revealed a flattering smile and gave a respectful gesture to Lin Yi:
"Eunuch Lin truly has good spirits, look at how cleanly these weeds have been pulled..."
Listening to this obviously insincere flattery, Lin Yi directly waved his hand:
"Alright, alright, if you're interested, I'll leave these weeds for you."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the imperial insignia on the big eunuch's chest, then spoke again:
