In hot weather, it is not a big deal to wash your feet and bathe with cold water.

But the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison used ice water, and forced him to soak it all night.

Several eunuchs took turns looking at him, adding ice to the barrel to ensure that the water in the barrel was kept cold.

After dawn, several eunuchs couldn't stand it and went to sleep.

Only then did Liu Dequan feel relieved.

He was tied with his hands and feet, but his hands were fine, and his skin was worn out. But his legs and feet felt no longer their own, and he was so numb that he completely lost consciousness.

He lay alone in the eunuch's room full of strange smell, painful and helpless.

He knew that if this continued, his legs would be ruined and he would never be able to walk.

He couldn't help but regret why he wanted to help the Jin family and the Crown Princess. As the eunuch closest to the emperor, he should remain neutral and should not have any disloyalty to the emperor.

The emperor punished him to raise a horse for a few days, and he was plotted to this point.

Liu Dequan couldn't help but reflect in his heart whether he had really gone too far before. After so many years of being in the palace, no one was willing to look at him in times of crisis.

He lay on the bed, feeling bitter in his heart and couldn't help crying in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake... When did you remember me?... Could it be that the end of my life, Liu Dequan?"

When he was completely lost, footsteps sounded at the door.

"Eunuch Liu?" was the woman's cautious voice.

Liu Dequan is now more sensitive to women's voices.

He raised his head and looked at the door.

At the door was a round and chubby little palace maid, holding a food box in her hand, and poking her head uneasily.

"Who is it?" Liu Dequan asked in a hoarse voice.

"Is it Eunuch Liu?" The little palace maid came over and whispered, "I am Midou. Midou, who used to work in the kitchen of the East Palace, does Eunuch Liu still remember me?"

Liu Dequan looked at her face and remembered.

"Oh, it's you."

"It's me, it's me." Midou held the food box and saw him like this, she was a little surprised, "Eunuch Liu, what's wrong with you? Who dares to tie you up here? Wait for me."

She turned around and ran out, attracted a pair of scissors, and untied the ropes on Liu Dequan's hands and feet.

"Eunuch Liu, can't you stand up?" Midou squatted in front of him and looked him up and down.

Liu Dequan felt miserable at this time: "Oh, stop talking. I was framed and soaked my feet in ice water all night. I'm afraid I'll be useless in the future."

"Who dares to frame you?"

"If it were in the past, naturally no one dared... I was just taking it upon myself." Liu Dequan sighed.

Midou stared at her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Bingshui, that's frostbite? I seem to remember Concubine Yun told me... Ah, by the way! Eunuch Liu, wait for me."

She ran out again. After a while, she brought a large wooden barrel and said breathlessly: "This is the warm water I want from the kitchen. Eunuch Liu, please put your legs and feet in to warm up."

Liu Dequan was frightened when he saw the water.

However, his legs were numb from below his knees and he lost consciousness, so he let her do it.

"Can this work? Hot water? Cook my feet again." Liu Dequan said with a wry smile.
