The Employed Empress 11 Chapter 11: The Palace Eunuchs 2

My momma never beat me. How could I actually send someone to be beaten to death. I'll see a ghost! There will definitely ghost hunting me! ME, ok?!

We're talking about lives, right?

And this is my supply of perfect shous, ah!!

Their precious smooth skins that are seemingly exclusive to shous will tear! Don't ah!

Wei Yi Yi: bros, their corporal punishment are for novel materials! Not IRL! No to IRL!

Wei Yi Yi proceeds on another report. Each one follows a cry then a kowtow. Each one weighing heavier than the other.

This are human lives!

I say! This is why you should not betray your boss! You guys should have swear to heavens and to the earth to be forever loyal! See now, all of them are pushing you to pits of hell.

"All of you have guts! Climbing over the heads of your bos-- superiors! Threatening the serenity of the inner palace! You don't put bengong on your eyes!"

The empress finished with an angry shout. Only god knows what Wei Yi Yi really want to shout is 'go run away' and dismissed them by saying that they hurt her eyes.

"How could that be your highness! This servant have been serving with the empress' good will in mind!"

Suddenly, a eunuch with a more backbone shouted. Startling Wei Yi Yi with her excuses. This mark the start of an angry rally.

Wei Yi Yi only have black line on her face. You're saying that I want them dead right? I instigated this bullying? Do you believe I can ask for your head ah? If boss misunderstand, you'll be my funeral decoration!

"Empress this is injustice ah!"

'What is?'

"Your majesty, this servant has been serving the imperial household all my life! How could this servant do those things!"

'Grandpa, how could this bro know.'

"This servant is loyal, empress!"

'Don't tell me that, ah!'

With the eunuch shouting for mercy and the empress inwardly being sarcastic with them, the whole situation escalated quickly. Wei Yi Yi silence was perceived as her not being able rail them in if they have the advantage of number.

Wei Yi Yi wake up to an angry mob, scaring her for her dear life.

"Imprudent! You dare rebel in fort of her majesty?!" Xiao Yuan Xi saved the situation just before it end up being physical.

Noticing that the emperial guards on station ready to draw their swords, the group of eunuch return to kneeling and kowtowing. Crying soundlessly like Wei Yi Yi bullied them.

"Enough! Xiao Yuan Xi heed my comman!" the empress mightily called for her head eunuch. "All of them shall be punished according to their crime..." with this, the cries intensified. Wei Yi Yi felt like she's butchering someone's pig.

"Give them only half of the beatings they need to received. Demote them according to the severity of their crime. Shambles them and send them to different palaces!"

If she really throw them out the palace, where could they go? She does not know what state is the outside.

"This servant received her majesty's decree!"

Xiaon Yuan Xi saw his mistress return into the inner chamber as he bow. After presenting the respectful attitude towards the empress, when he turn to look at the other kneeling, all that could be seen are the arrogance that the head eunuch of the main palace should have.

Sending punishments as they are due.

-----

With an investigation so lousy as this and as bias, who really knew if they did what was accused? Wei Yi Yi have no way to know. All that could be done is sort them out so that servants cannot bully their own masters.

As for the concubines? ohohoho she can try and sort them out but who would actually be so daring as to sort out boss' women?

Sending them to different places are all that she can do so that those girls won't end up torturing their servants. She read somewhere that those really happens ah!

Anyway, the important thing is they don't disturb boss. Who cares if it's full of holes? This bro is not the police! And definitely not a judge. Don't ask me for lives!

"Your ladyship, this servant might be speaking out of turn," knowing it might be heard by someone else, Tang Mei lowered her voice. "Empress, making trouble like this will earn imperial noble consort Ye's attention!"

The emperor might respect Wei Yi Yi as his empress but it's only because the imperial noble consort is not yet ready to take her out! If the imperial noble consort set her eyes at the empress throne, who could actually stop her.

'Mistress, if you try to clip her wings, it will bring trouble!'

Some of those eunuch are definitely there under the imperial noble consort's instructions. How else could they throw caution into the air and bully their mistresses.

"Tang Mei, let me tell you one of the life rules and be enlightened." Wei Yi Yi put both her hand on Tang Mei's shoulder. Looking at her seriously, she continue, "You can make troubles for anyone but never make trouble for your boss!"

If you make troubles for others, boss can sort it out. If you make trouble for boss, boss will sort you out, ah!

'But empress aren't you making trouble for his majesty by always putting everything into his account?'
