Du Zhu and the Empress Dowager’s Various Matters (3)
Bai Weiwei did not have any hope for this task .
Previously, there was estrangement, but it was only on the level of killing a mother, or a forced marriage .
This time, she couldn’t bear it at all .
The man who had just skinned this head in front of her and left covered in blood was Mu Yanjun .
This guy was a real! Imperial! Eunuch!
And the reason he became a eunuch was because of the previous Bai Weiwei .
Mu Yanjun was originally a scholarly young man, and he was also a talented master of zither, chess, painting, and calligraphy .

His family was harmonious, and life was pleasant and smooth .
Only to become miserable at the hands of the Bai family who seized power by way of relation to a strong Empress .
Even worse, the Bai family did not have any decent people .
They took advantage of imperial power to cheat men and tyrannize woman, and transformed the imperial court into a chaotic mess .
Mu Yanjun’s father was a spokesperson . He couldn’t overlook the Bai family’s misdeeds and stood up to reprimand their interference in political affairs without due authorization .
Consequently, he angered the Bai family . Bai Weiwei’s sister, the Empress, wrote a decree directly maligning the Mu family as rebellious officials .
And Mu Yanjun was left his life because Bai Weiwei said one short sentence .
Bai Weiwei did not know Mu Yanjun . But on the day when he was to be beheaded, as she passed by, she pointed her finger at Mu Yanjun .
“This is a good little slave, let him go to the palace to help me raise flowers . ”
Bai Weiwei likely said it on a whim, but the people below would still follow suit to flatter the Bai family .

They would leave Mu Yanjun alive, remove his jj, and assign him as the gardening eunuch in the palace .
All while Bai Weiwei herself had forgotten that there was even such a person as Mu Yanjun .
Mu Yanjun was thus humiliated in the palace . He step by step from the deepest dirty mud pond, made the bloody climb to the top .
After a full ten years, that small ten year old child gained the strength to cover the heavens with his hand for nine thousand years, and take control of everyone’s lives .
In the Bai family, before the Empress died, her only child was entrusted to Bai Weiwei .
And so Bai Weiwei entered the palace .
The Emperor was originally a sickly man . When Bai Weiwei had just entered the palace, what Should’ve happened didn’t because the late Emperor passed away .
Bai Weiwei immediately became the Empress Dowager, and the current Emperor was only six years old .
After Mu Yanjun gained power, the butcher knife was raised and brutally slaughtered all of the Bai family’s middlemen .
Bai Weiwei’s father was executed by 3,600 cuts .

Her mother was drawn and quartered1 .
From cousins to nephews the whole ant nest was cleaned up .
Bai Zhao was the younger brother of Bai Weiwei . Now he was skinned and decapitated, lying next to her .
The Bai family was now finished .
The world belonged to Mu Yanjun . He kept the little Emperor as a puppet and blocked the harem . Now when he said what’s what, no one dared to refute .
After seeing all this, Bai Weiwei called out for help “Zero zero, do you have a rope?”
System: “Yes . ”
Bai Weiwei reached out and said, “Give me a noose, we will meet again in the next life . I am going to find my mother, don’t try to stop me . ”
Her poor mother died early, and she now wanted to hurry to see her .
System: “The rope has to be purchased with life, and your account does not have enough value to buy . ”
As a result, Bai Weiwei felt even more sorrowful .
After doing so many tasks she did not seem to earn anything . She felt that she was Yang Bailao under the black hearted boss, leading a suppressed life2 .
Miserable .
What was even worse was that Mu Yanjun hated her the most .
After the Bai family was finished, she was left without a death sentence .
You ask why not execute? Of course, the most hated one must stay behind, to be slowly tortured .
Bai Weiwei suddenly remembered: “What is my side quest reward?”
Every time she didn’t say it, the system would not take the initiative itself . She suspected that if she forgot her reward, then the system would promptly embezzle her prize
1: Seems she was quinted, actually, but this style of execution is most commonly known as quartered . So I pretended not to notice the fifth horse and took some liberties there . ↩
2: Searching up Yang Bailao brings up a wiki article on a Chinese opera called The White Haired Girl . Yang Bailao, the father of a young peasant girl named Xi’er, owes money to a tyrannic landlord, who employs a debt collector to hunt him down↩
