Mind Control Techniques

Zhang Yuan entered the palace as a servant. In this life, it had been determined that he could only be able to make considerations for the Emperor. In truth, he was not particularly sided with the ninth prince, nor did he help Imperial Concubine Yun very much. In summary, he was in the Emperor’s faction. No matter what was said or done, he would consider things from the Emperor’s point of view. This included his stopping of Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu’s sedan, as it was to explain to Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu: “His Majesty is getting old, and his condition these past few days has truly not been very good. Although His Majesty will not say it himself, this servant has taken care of His Majesty for many years and can see that His Majesty is exhausted physically and mentally. Even the imperial physicians have said that continuing like this would be bad for His Majesty’s health. That’s why this servant summoned the courage to plead with Your Highness Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu, please let His Majesty rest a bit! Copulating night after night is not sustainable.”

These were the words that Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu wished to hear the least, as she coldly snorted and said: “You mean to say that this One wrapping myself around His Majesty and causing His Majesty to expend more energy than he has? Zhang Yuan, you are being impudent! Could it be that you don’t know the rules of the palace? When has giving favor ever been up to the members of the imperial harem? Is it not just His Majesty’s intention. You doing this is not at all proper. Could it be that this One should immediately turn around and disrespect His Majesty’s order?”

Zhang Yuan felt helpless upon hearing this, but he continued to grit his teeth and say: “If Your Highness can turn back, this servant will take care of explaining to His Majesty.”

“Impudence!” Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu became furious, “You’re just a eunuch, yet you actually dare to go behind His Majesty’s back to chase his imperial concubine away? In the end, is it your word or His Majesty’s word that has more weight in the Imperial Palace?”

Such a heavy implication had been dropped onto Zhang Yuan, causing him to immediately kowtow in fear, saying: “This servant does not have such an intention. This servant is just concerned about His Majesty’s health. Your Highness, please understand this servant’s difficulties!”

Understand difficulties? Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu had found Zhang Yuan to be an eyesore for a long time, and she had been frustrated with not having a reason to take care of this damn eunuch. At this time, she recalled this and came up with an idea, and her tone changed: “Forget it, you’re doing it for His Majesty’s sake. This One can understand it. This One also hopes that His Majesty can quickly recover. His health is more important than anything else. Since this is the case, this One will be going back today! I also will not be accompanying His Majesty for dinner and hope that Eunuch Zhang will take care of His Majesty for this One.” After saying this, she immediately ordered the sedan bearers: “Turn around. We’re going back to Cun Shan Palace.”

The eunuch who had gone to invite Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu glanced at Zhang Yuan but did not say anything. He just directed the palace servants to turn around. On the other side, Zhang Yuan kneeled there and gratefully said: “This servant respectfully sends off Your Highness Imperial Concubine Shu! This servant thanks Your Highness Imperial Concubine Shu for being understanding.” After saying this, he raised his head, and his forehead was soaked with sweat.

Snatching the Emperor from Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu’s hands really was difficult! He stood up and headed toward Zhao He Hall. Along the way, he was wondering how he should report to the Emperor. Privately chasing a member of the imperial harem away was a huge taboo in the Imperial Palace.
