Xiaochuanzi shook his head and replied honestly: "How can I have such a great fortune and be able to have a personal relationship with His Highness? Of course, of course there is no such thing."
"Since you have no personal relationship, it is impossible for you to block the sword for me out of personal feelings. But now that you block it, you want glory and wealth."
Li Chen said, seeing Xiaochuanzi excitedly trying to explain something, he raised his hand to stop him: "This doesn't mean you are bad, it's just human nature."
"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. You risked your life to block that knife for me. Even the imperial doctor said you were lucky. The edge of the dagger was just a little bit off, and now you are already a corpse."
"Courage and luck, you have both, so you deserve this reward now. I ask you again, what do you want?"
Xiaochuanzi swallowed and thought about it seriously. Li Chen just looked at him and didn't urge him.
After a while, Xiaochuanzi seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Your Highness, I don't want money, I just want to serve you."
With a chuckle, Li Chen said: "You are just here to serve me personally. Do you really want anything else? If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it."
"You have to think clearly. If you want to return to your hometown, then I will give you permission to leave the palace and return to your hometown. I will also give you a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to ensure that you will not have to worry about food and drink in your life, and you can become a rich man wherever you go."
"If you want to be promoted, with just a word from me, you can become the chief eunuch. Not to mention the East Palace, you can take charge of everything in the palace."
"I don't want any of these slaves." Xiaochuanzi shook his head firmly.
"Okay." Li Chen followed suit without forcing anything.
"Since you don't want those things, there's no reason to force them on you."
"You have chosen to serve me by my side, so you can report to Xi Zheng Palace after you have recovered your health."
Xiaochuanzi was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you so much, Your Highness."
"Have a good rest." After Li Chen finished speaking, he stood up and left the room.
"My servant sends you to Your Highness."
Behind him, Ogawako's grateful voice came.
When he came outside the house, Li Chen said calmly: "Come here."
A guard in royal robes quietly came to Li Chen, knelt down on one knee, and looked respectful.
"Go and check all of Xiaochuanzi's information to see if there is anything suspicious. If there is nothing suspicious, then seal his file separately and not allow others to access it," Li Chen said.
"I humbly obey my orders...but, what if there is something fishy?" Jin Yiwei asked.
"What do you think?" Li Chen asked back.
The Jin Yiwei tensed up and said quickly: "I understand, I understand."
After saying this, he stood up and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Soon, all the information about the eighteenth generation of Ogawako's ancestors will be investigated by Dongchang.
It would be fine if there were no problems, but if there were problems, another person might disappear inexplicably in this world.
Li Chen could tell that there was huge ambition hidden under Ogawazi's respectful demeanor.
And he is very smart, otherwise he would not trade this incredible reward for an opportunity to serve him.
In the short term, this is a huge loss, but in the long term, this choice is extremely wise.
After Sanbao died, the only person close to Li Chen who could be considered close to him was Wan Jiaojiao.
But Wan Jiaojiao is a woman after all, and there are some things that are much more convenient for eunuchs to do than for women.
