Eunuch Fu and Eunuch Bai, who was guarding the entrance of the Tangquan Pool, both had sharp eyes. It seemed that those people couldn't sit still.
I just don’t know what other options they have.
Eunuch Bai winked in one direction, then lowered his eyes like a log stuck to the ground.
Eunuch Fu's expression did not change, and he smiled at Duke Cheng and said, "There is no such thing. Even if the two old dukes received the news that something happened to the emperor, the slave would overstep the limit and inform the two old dukes of the emperor's whereabouts.
The emperor went to the Gongyuan early in the morning, and the two old princes also know that the emperor attaches great importance to this examination, so they stopped attending the morning meeting to go to the Gongyuan to see what kind of character the candidates are in private."
This cannot be entirely believed, but it is not unreasonable.
This morning's court visit was actually the first time that the emperor was absent from court since he ascended the throne. Everyone had speculated that the emperor had secretly gone to the Gongyuan to select talents.
But, Eunuch Fu's words clearly confirmed everyone's guesses, but it also made people feel that something was wrong.
Maybe the news of the emperor's disappearance came too easily, and people couldn't believe it was true.
Duke Cheng Guo stared sharply at Eunuch Fu, as if he wanted to see through him.
However, Eunuch Fu has never seen any battles. When the late Emperor was seriously ill, he was able to hide it from everyone. Duke Cheng's intimidation was really nothing to him.
He still looked at Duke Cheng calmly with a smile, "Don't worry, two old Dukes, this servant will definitely report this matter to the Emperor when he returns to the palace, and the evildoer behind it will be found out."
Duke Dingguo glanced at Eunuch Bai who was bowing his head inside, and asked doubtfully: "Who is that?"
If he wasn't blind, he must be wearing the clothes of a great eunuch.
Eunuch Fu knew who he was asking, so he did not turn around and remained silent for a moment with a hint of embarrassment on his face before whispering: "That is the newly promoted Eunuch Bai, and the servant is teaching him how to serve the emperor well."
Meng Buding witnessed with his own eyes the bullying of Ding Guogong and Cheng Guogong: "..."
One is strong, the next is weak, and the third is exhausted.
It is not an exaggeration to use this to describe the actions of the two old princes who rushed to the palace today. They were "killing" all the way into the palace with their loyalty to the emperor, or they rushed into the destination without caring about anyone. Now this person is being
Eunuch Fu had already stopped him. If he were to rush into the hot spring pool that they suspected, the meaning would be different.
They also lost their courage.
Both of them decided to quit.
Duke Dingguo said with a straight face and his roaring voice: "Then I'll trouble Eunuch Fu. I must inform the emperor about this."
Eunuch Fu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Duke Ding, I know the importance of this."
Duke Dingguo nodded with satisfaction, turned around, put his hands behind his back and walked away.
Duke Cheng Guo almost cried when he saw this. He should not have entered the palace with this old boy.
He wanted to say something, but there seemed to be nothing to say at the moment, especially the smile that seemed to be carved on Eunuch Fu's face made his eyes hurt even more.
He simply stopped talking about leaving with Duke Dingguo.
It wasn't until the two of them were gone that there was no trace of them. The smile on Eunuch Fu's face stopped, and his shoulders slumped as if he had lost all strength.
Eunuch Bai didn't know when he had 'floated' to his side, "Old Fu, you are still awesome."
He doesn't mean to praise Eunuch Fu specifically. In terms of tact, he is really not as good as Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu was not complacent at all. He taught him sincerely as he walked towards the entrance of the hot spring pool, "It's not that I'm great, it's that the two of them didn't really want to break in."
Eunuch Bai is not a fool. He understood the key to Eunuch Fu in a flash of his mind.
Who are the two old princes? It is not an exaggeration to say that they have already matured.
Both palaces have received news that the emperor has been poisoned. It is definitely not possible to pretend that they don't know. Not to mention that everyone knows that there are people from the emperor in all the major palaces in Beijing. Who dares to pretend that they are all courtiers?
To trust others wholeheartedly?!
What's more, the person behind the message to them had unknown intentions, but it was clear that he definitely had no good intentions.
Generally, an emperor can no longer be considered a new emperor after he has been on the throne for more than two years. But for the direct lineage of the Jun family, whose life span is longer than that of ordinary people, he is considered a new emperor after only two years.
The new emperor, who has not yet left any heirs, has been poisoned. If this news gets out, it is not impossible that it will cause turmoil in the country.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Bai really didn't understand something, "I wonder if the two old princes didn't understand that the news that the emperor might be poisoned would be spread after they broke into the palace, so why did they do this?"
Isn’t this a true portrayal of traveling in the mountains with tigers despite knowing that there are tigers in the mountains?
Eunuch Fu pointed in the direction of the Tangquan Pond, "Have you forgotten Prince Xian? Firstly, the two old princes didn't believe that the emperor was really poisoned. Secondly, isn't Prince Xian still here?"
He continued in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear: "The person behind the scenes conveyed the news of the emperor's poisoning to the two of them, didn't they just want to use their identities as princes to enter the palace to see if the emperor was really poisoned?
"
"To think that just one rumor that is neither true nor false can cause turmoil in the country is to underestimate our court. With Prince Xian in the Ministry of War and Lu Shangshu in the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is really not possible, and Prime Minister Zheng is still there to support it.
.”
Unless something happens to the emperor, there will be no chaos.
Eunuch Bai understood, "The two old princes are trying to lure out the person behind this."
Eunuch Fu nodded happily: "If the emperor's poisoning is true, the news will reach the ears of the two old princes. Either there is something wrong in our palace, or the person behind the emperor's poisoning outside the palace specially sent the message to
They, but it also shows that at least the emperor is not in the hands of the other party, otherwise there would be no need to do this unnecessary step."
"As for the person who spread the news to the two old princes, it is very likely that the emperor has returned to the palace, and he wants to use the identities of the two old princes to enter the palace to investigate the emperor's current situation."
Eunuch Bai narrowed his eyes and answered: "The two old princes broke into the Qiankun Palace but left without seeing the emperor. The people behind them are not sure about the emperor's true situation now, which is good for us."
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the Tangquan Pond, and the two of them rushed towards it. A moment later, Qi Baoer walked out holding Jun Chenyuan, who had most of his body pressed against her.
It was precisely this posture that was almost sticking together that made their footsteps overlap and sound like they were walking on three legs.
Jun Chenyuan, who had just detoxified, seemed to be still in a semi-conscious state, but he knew who saved him again and who was next to him now.
Everyone is confused, but some nerves are extremely clever at the moment, and opportunities are rare.
Eunuch Fu quickly came to the two of them and stretched out his hand to pick up Jun Chenyuan, but he was about to be chopped off. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt that his bones were filled with coldness.
This man was indeed a great eunuch who could serve two generations of emperors. His expression remained unchanged as he naturally lowered his hand and used his sleeve as a barrier to grab Eunuch Bai.
