"Don't you dare? I see how daring you are, and you still want to be my teacher." The prince spoke in a strange manner and had no royal bearing at all. No wonder Li Wanjiang didn't like him.
Xiao Chen said that I don't like him either.
"Prince, those are all the emperor's ideas!"
I still have to explain to him who made him the prince of the East Palace and the future king.
It’s just inconvenient for me to tell you that I am also a prince. We are all princes and should get along well with each other.
"Humph, sophistry!" The prince snorted coldly, took out a banknote from his arms and threw it to him.
Xiao Chen glanced at it, damn!
Five thousand taels?
Prince, what do you mean? Give me a sweet date after a slap in the face?
"You don't need me to tell you the rules in the palace, right? If you want to live, keep your mouth shut, otherwise you won't know how you will die!"
Xiao Chen's mind was agitated. What the prince meant was, don't go out and talk nonsense about what you just saw.
"Hey! I understand this."
Xiao Chenxin said you were so embarrassed to do it, why don't you let others talk about it?
Later, young master, I will go to the emperor to report you and see how you die!
"You take care of yourself."
The prince said and walked away.
Back inside the house, Murong Danqiu was still angry.
"This prince is..."
Xiao Chen asked cautiously.
"The eagle is looking at the wolf, the bee's eyes are like the jackal's voice, it's a beast!"
"I don't think he is a good person. The emperor is really old and confused. Why did he become the prince?"
"Actually, the emperor doesn't like him either, but because he is the eldest son, he has to be appointed. In fact, the emperor also thought about deposing him, but the ministers in the court were desperately opposed, so he had no choice but to give up."
"This doesn't make sense. We should focus on the virtuous rather than the senior."
Xiao Chen's thoughts were really useless.
"Don't talk nonsense about such a big thing!"
"Hey, I'm just talking to you."
"The previous dynasty established virtuous people, but in the end, the country was destroyed. So, the rise or fall of a country does not depend on who is the crown prince..." Murong Danqiu narrowed his eyes, who did he think of?
"By the way, why are you looking for the subjugated prince? Do you guys recognize him?" Xiao Chen has always been puzzled by this.
Could it be that, Danqiu, you had an affair with me a long time ago? Why don’t I remember?
"I don't recognize him, and I haven't seen him before, but we..." A blush appeared on Murong Danqiu's face.
"I was engaged to him back then. I was about to enter the palace, but unexpectedly the emperor suddenly raised troops. You know what happened next, but when the Zhou soldiers invaded Fengyang City, he disappeared.
You can’t see people alive, you can’t see corpses even if you’re dead.”
"Oh...that's it." Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"I heard that he was wise, wise, and charming... If the previous emperor had listened to his advice, he would not have ended up in ruins."
It seems that Murong Danqiu yearns for this husband whom he has never met before.
This made Xiao Chen feel sour in his heart.
He is wise, wise, wise and mighty!
He looks like an average person...
It’s not like I haven’t looked in the mirror before!
But in fact his appearance has changed.
When Li Wanjiang's army came to the city, he originally planned to commit suicide with his father and die for the country, but he was rescued by several loyal Ouchi masters.
He hid in a cellar for half a year, during which time an old man whose name he didn't know used potions to corrode his appearance, causing him to die from the pain.
After he recovered from his injury, he changed into what he looks like now.
One night, several people took him and tried to sneak out of the city, but they were discovered by the soldiers guarding the city. After a brutal killing, all the masters in the palace died in battle!
However, he took the opportunity to escape back to the city. After knowing that he could no longer hide his traces after the incident, he could only take a risk and become a eunuch in the palace...
"Then what if you find him? Can you still marry him?" Xiao Chen was obviously a little unhappy.
"Of course not, but no matter what, we are engaged. I just want to know whether he is dead or alive. If he is dead, that's it. If he is alive... I will help him. That's the end of it.
A matter of mind."
"How can you help? He is the prince of the former dynasty. There is no place for him in the world, unless he is found in the palace and becomes a eunuch like me!"
"That's not impossible. Besides, you're not a real eunuch!"
"Sigh... Since you must look for him, I can only do my best. But you also know my current situation. I can't even get out of the palace gate. How can I check?"
Xiao Chen had a plan in mind for a long time, so he took advantage of the situation and expressed it.
"You are now the Chief Eunuch Bingbi and the chief eunuch of our Kunning Palace. You can leave the palace at will. Who dares to control you?"
"That's an unfair name. Just like the last time I went to investigate Zhao Juer's affairs, I needed your handwriting. Otherwise, the imperial guards at the palace gate would definitely make a lot of noise and go to the Jinyi Guards to borrow someone. They still love that person.
Ignore the answer..."
"Well, you are too young and have little qualifications. No wonder they don't take you seriously..."
"So I think it is necessary to set up a department belonging to our Kunning Palace, led by me, and directly responsible to you, so that it will be much more convenient for you to send me to investigate anything in the future."
Xiao Chen is proceeding step by step, gradually getting into the theme, without any abruptness at all.
Murong Danqiu also thought it made sense.
In fact, she had long wanted to cultivate her own power in the palace to fight against the Queen Mother and Liu Ruyun. Now that Xiao Chen took the initiative, it was exactly what he wanted.
This kid is talented, smart, capable, and loyal enough to himself. He is definitely a confidant. The main reason is that this kid's life is in his hands...
Presumably I don’t dare to make mistakes.
Otherwise, even if you don't kill him, you can just cut him in half with one knife and make him a real little eunuch!
"It makes sense, but this matter is important and needs to be reported to the emperor... What do you think this department should be called?" This is tantamount to agreement.
"Our Kunning Palace is the West Palace, so why not call it the West Palace Editing Factory, or West Factory for short. It doesn't sound like a power department, and others won't care too much." Xiao Chen had already thought about it carefully.
"Okay, let me think about it and report it to the emperor tomorrow, but this West Factory should still let Zhang Zifang be the supervisor, and you can be his deputy."
Murong Danqiu also had to consider Zhang Zifang's thoughts. After all, Zhang Zifang was the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace and was sent by the emperor.
"No!" Xiao Chen flatly refused, "The power of this department must be concentrated and must not be dispersed. Either I will be responsible for it alone, or forget it!"
"How come you, a little slave, are so domineering? This is not because you are disobeying me!" Murong Danqiu was startled by Xiao Chen's fierce reaction.
"Pretend to be a grandson when you should be a grandson, and be domineering when you should be domineering!" The light in Xiao Chen's eyes flashed away.
"I didn't realize that you, a little slave, are quite ambitious." Murong Danqiu was not angry either. Instead, he covered his mouth and smiled.
"My ambition is not small. Otherwise, how could I dare to sleep in your bed? It's getting late, so I can help you take a rest, right?"
He lifted her waist to the bed and started to move her hands and feet.
