Chapter 1216: 1216 does not have a heart 2 Chapter 1216: 1216 does not have a heart 2 Su Qingyue exaggerated, “Oh no, this time the pampered imperial concubine was horrified, thinking the eunuch was a ghost, screaming in terror.

Could he really be a ghost?”

“It sounds like it,” Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment, “When my wife asks that way, it seems he is not.”

“He is human,” she told him the answer.

He raised an eyebrow, and she continued, “The imperial concubine’s shrieks drew the imperial guards, who immediately apprehended the eunuch.

The eunuch said that under the cherry blossom tree ten years ago, with flowers swirling in the air, had the imperial concubine truly forgotten?

The imperial concubine remembered.

She told the imperial guards that she was just frightened by a mouse and asked them to release the eunuch.

Finally, she recognized who the eunuch was.

It turned out that the eunuch was not a ghost, but a man born with a peculiar constitution.

Ten years prior, the eunuch was a normal man, the lover of the imperial concubine before she entered the Palace, the two deeply in love, pledging their lives to each other.

Born into an official’s family, after she was sent to the Palace, the man could not let her go.

Underneath the cherry blossom tree, he had sworn to love her for a lifetime.”

Xiao Yuchuan listened quietly.

Her voice became serene, “The man begged her not to enter the Palace, but she said she could not defy her parents’ wishes, being a candidate for a Palace Maid and carrying the honor of her entire clan, she had to enter.

He said he could die for her but could not bear losing her.

If she truly decided to leave, he would rip out his heart and give it to her.

For if she were gone, what use would his heart be?

So, he actually did rip out his heart and offered it to her.

She did not accept the heart, instead, she ran away in tears.

Since then, he disappeared.

A man without a heart, she thought he had died.”

She stood up, walking from the kitchen to the yard, “In fact, he had two hearts, one was removed, leaving the other.

His life was not meant to end, luckily encountering a divine doctor, who healed his injury.

The divine doctor also found it peculiar that ordinary people have only one heart, yet he had two, surviving even after losing one.

Having recovered from his injury, he pined for her day and night, and so he entered the Palace.

The Imperial Palace was vast, and in over ten years, he only saw her from a distance a few times.

Meanwhile, she rose from a minor Palace Maid to become an imperial concubine.

And he, from a lowly eunuch, ascended to housekeeper, finally having the chance to gain her favor and serve by her side.

Unfortunately, ten years had passed, the youthful lad had changed beyond recognition, not much resembling his past self, and she did not recognize him.”

She sighed softly, “His sole purpose for entering the Palace was to be by her side.

For the sake of seeing her, he had been castrated, what other thoughts could he possibly have?

To be able to accompany her every day was the happiest moment for him.

Although it took ten years to be assigned to her side, it had been only one month.”

“What happened after that?

Did he spend his days with the imperial concubine?”

She looked helpless, “It’s a sad story.

Perhaps it’s better not to ask, third brother.”

He nodded, “If you don’t wish to speak of it, I will not ask.” He looked at her somber expression, “What’s wrong?”

“Just feeling a bit melancholic.”

“Could it be that you are the divine doctor who saved that eunuch?”

She shook her head, “It’s a story I happened to hear from an old grandpa, who said it concerned his ancestors, that the eunuch was the brother of his great-great-great grandfather.

The old grandpa who told the story has passed away.

I’m just moved by the fact that such a hopelessly romantic person could meet such a fate.”
