Hearing this, Xiao Xian glanced at her but said nothing.
Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up and he shook his head, "No, no, if I were to be reborn again, I, I would definitely want to live the life I want, buy a few acres of land, a few thatched houses, raise a few chickens and ducks,
A few sheep and a few children..."
He looked forward to it, but then he came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "No, no, no, it is impossible for people to be reborn. I am not dead after all..."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "Eunuch Liu, you are already dead, we saved you. Now, your life is no longer the emperor's, it belongs to him. He has taken it away and killed you himself.
Now you don't have any burdens, you are just an ordinary palace servant who will be released from the palace when the time comes."
If Liu Yu said that he must be loyal to His Majesty or something, then Shen Mingzhu would definitely leave it alone. After all, God saves himself. If a person doesn't want to live, why should others take risks and work for him?
Liu Yu didn't seem to understand, but Shen Mingzhu didn't want to say more, just said: "Eunuch Liu, just answer me, you have already died once, and you are reborn, do you have to die again?"
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, then tried hard to say: "I don't want to."
He is no longer of use to the emperor. If he dies again, he will just rot here.
Shen Mingzhu nodded, "That's considered a promise to us."
Then she ordered: "Qushui, how are Hou Shou and the others preparing?"
Qu Shui had already seen the signal from Hou Shou, "Miss, they are ready."
Shen Mingzhu said: "Proceed as planned."
After saying that, she asked Qu Shui to carry Eunuch Liu away.
After they left, a fire broke out in the original shabby houses. It was still very dry in early summer, and the wind helped the fire. It burned all at once, and it burned red, reflecting the entire night sky.
The originally sleeping palace suddenly came to life again, with people clanging and shouting, all coming to put out the fire.
The fire was put out just before dawn, but a burnt corpse was also found, which they said was Liu Yu's.
The patrolling guards judged that Liu Yu had no one to attend to him and that he was going to die again. He might have set the fire. Some people said that he might have wanted to drink water and accidentally knocked over the candle.
In short, a fire broke out and Liu Yu was burned to death.
After hearing this, the emperor was just stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and ordered people to take him away and bury him in the tomb of the homeless palace.
At this time, Liu Yu was already lying in an inconspicuous carriage, leaving the capital and slowly heading into the distance.
When entering the palace, Shen Mingzhu asked someone to check and found out that there happened to be an old palace man who could be released from the palace when the time came, but he was too old. When he left the palace, he ate a good meal with tears in his eyes.
If you swallow it if it is not so rotten, it will become bloated to death if it cannot be digested.
He was old and frail, and had no background, otherwise he would not have waited until such an old age to leave the palace. Naturally, no one would know about his death.
Shen Mingzhu asked someone to find him, and then exchanged his and Liu Yu's identities. The old palace man's body was burned in Liu Yu's room, and Liu Yu changed into the old palace man's sloppy clothes.
Luan Huang came out of the palace leisurely.
Those guards thought he was dirty, so naturally they wouldn't come near him. This old palace man was originally a toilet cleaner in the palace. He was asked to do all the dirty and tiring work. He was bullied like this all his life, and he couldn't even follow the normal procedures.
In the palace, only when they were too old to work anymore were they kicked out and left to die.
