13: If you mess with me, I will take revenge on the empress
"Wu Zhongxian, you did a great job in these two things!"
Emperor Zhou Ren first praised Wu Zhongxian, and then changed the subject.
"But before you kill a corrupt official next time, you have to have more accurate evidence. You can't just kill the emperor's relatives just because of a guess! You have to know what you are doing!!"
Emperor Zhou Ren's voice gradually became colder.
This sentence also strikes Wu Zhongxian.
The underlying meaning is also obvious: Although I have given you privileges, it does not mean that you can kill my royal relatives at will.
Unless it is heinous and there is evidence.
The two princes Wu Zhongxian killed were both of that type. They did not commit major crimes, but were just guilty of corruption.
The evidence of corruption was only found after Wu Zhongxian killed him.
This way of handling the case is very wrong.
Put it this way, if Wu Zhongxian wanted to frame a good person, he would just kill him first so that he could not defend himself.
Then put some gold and silver in his house and say he is a corrupt official who has taken bribes and violated the law.
After all, there is no proof!
Therefore, Emperor Zhou Ren did not agree with this way of handling the case.
In addition, Emperor Zhou Ren also attacked Wu Zhongxian.
Don't let him get carried away and forget his identity.
You Wu Zhongxian are just my slaves!
I give you the right to kill the emperor's relatives!
It’s not like you can kill the emperor’s relatives at will!!
You are my slave after all!!!
Wu Zhongxian's heart moved slightly.
How could he not hear Emperor Zhou Ren's beating?
Working under the emperor is really tiring.
"I understand."
Wu Zhongxian cupped his hands and responded obediently.
He was unhappy in his heart.
It's normal to feel unhappy.
I do dirty things for you, and you still beat me. Most modern people can't stand this kind of emotion.
The main reason is that Wu Zhongxian’s soul came through time travel.
He is not a slave of this world, he has no servility.
So he will be more sensitive and angry with the emperor.
If it were a person from the native world, even if the emperor chopped off his arm, if he did not want his life, the other person would be grateful...
This is servility.
"Okay, Wu Aichen should go and rest early." Emperor Zhou Rendi waved his hand and asked him to leave after finishing the beating.
Her purpose has been accomplished.
Just a warning to Wu Zhongxian.
Of course, after the warning, Wu Zhongxian was also given a sweet date.
For example, in this sentence, Wu Aichen identifies with Wu Zhongxian in disguise.
For the emperor, being able to be called Ai Chen was already a very big reward.
But in Wu Zhongxian's eyes, is your sentence useless? You might as well give me tens of thousands of taels of gold!
Just one sentence to soothe my wounded heart?
Wu Zhongxian said no!
He was still unhappy with being beaten by Emperor Zhou Ren.
then,
Wu Zhongxian decided to vent his unhappiness on the Queen.
After walking out of the imperial study, Wu Zhongxian did not go back to the palace, but went straight to the East Palace.
"You all please step back."
Wu Zhongxian gave orders to some maids and eunuchs at the entrance of the East Palace.
Logically speaking, Wu Zhongxian was just a eunuch and had no right to order the eunuchs around the Queen.
But it’s been said before.
The predecessor used to be very powerful in the palace by relying on the favor of the late emperor Zhou Wu, and no eunuch or maid dared to disobey.
Because my predecessor had killed many disobedient palace maids and eunuchs.
And he was not punished!
The maids and eunuchs retreated.
Wu Zhongxian walked into the East Palace.
When he met the palace maids along the way, Wu Zhongxian asked them to go out and wait. He came to see the Queen with His Majesty's oral instructions.
Using this excuse, Wu Zhongxian came all the way to the door of his empress's bedroom.
Before leaving, the two maids guarding the door whispered: "Eunuch Wu, the queen is taking a bath, please wait a moment."
"knew."
Wu Zhongxian glanced at her, and the palace maid was so frightened that she quickly retreated.
Not long after the palace maid left, a sound suddenly came from the bedroom.
"Xiaochun, Xiaoqiu, come in and wipe my back."
Wu Zhongxian opened the door and walked in lightly.
The Queen didn't doubt his presence. After all, this was the palace, and no one except the maids dared to come in.
But she never expected that Wu Zhongxian would be so bold!
Wu Zhongxian is indeed bold.
Once his behavior is discovered, at least he will be quartered and torn into pieces!
How can a eunuch enter the Queen's palace at will?
Not to mention eunuchs, even normal ministers with real power would not dare!
Otherwise, if his reputation spreads, all the princes and nobles of the Zhou Dynasty will attack him!
As long as you have a good reputation, everyone will besiege you.
"It smells so good."
Wu Zhongxian took a slight breath.
The air is filled with fragrance and mist.
Looking further ahead, there is a large wooden barrel with thick fog rising.
This big wooden bucket is called guàn (washing bucket).
The Queen was leaning comfortably on the edge of the wash basin, closing her eyes and taking a comfortable bath.
This way of taking a bath must be very refreshing.
Wu Zhongxian thought he would try it when he went back tonight.
He picked up the golden handkerchief on the side and slowly approached the Queen.
Actually it's a handkerchief, it's the same size as a bath towel.
It's just that in this world, there are no towels, let alone bath towels, so its specific meaning is "handkerchief". People use it to wipe away sweat, clean the face, scrub the body, etc...
Normal handkerchiefs are gray or white, but only the royal ones use gold, which highlights their nobility.
Most things in the royal family are gold, showing their status.
"Xiaochun, Xiaoqiu."
The Queen Mother screamed strangely again.
Normally, she would get a response if she called.
But I called twice today, why hasn’t there been a response?
Lu Suqing was a little angry.
What's going on with these palace ladies?
But the next moment,
The soft handkerchief gently touched her shoulder.
The Queen then relaxed her brows, closed her eyes and exhaled slightly, enjoying the rubbing on her back.
But maybe the bath was so comfortable that Lu Suqing had forgotten why the palace maid didn't reply and just kept wiping her back.
"Why is there only one person?"
After wiping for a while, Lu Suqing suddenly felt strange.
Aren't they two palace ladies?
But Lu Suqing still had no doubts. Instead, while enjoying it, she softly said: "Xiaochun, is it you? Be gentle on your hands."
“…”
No response.
Lu Suqing frowned slightly.
Just as she was about to open her eyes, Wu Zhongxian leaned down and said to her fair earlobe: "Queen, this is my first time to rub someone's back. I'm a little stronger. I hope you don't mind."
Lu Suqing opened her eyes instantly.
The elbow slammed back.
Wu Zhongxian was well prepared and pulled his body back to avoid the attack.
"How dare you, a eunuch, come to see me!"
Lu Suqing stood in the wash basin, and when she saw Wu Zhongxian's appearance clearly, she immediately gritted her teeth in anger, and the flames in her eyes were about to materialize and spurt out.
Wu Zhongxian was not afraid at all, but smiled slightly: "Empress, you are indeed a rare beauty in the world."
Hearing this, Lu Suqing lowered her head subconsciously.
She reacted instantly, her face changed slightly, and she quickly sat down in the wash tub to avoid Wu Zhongxian's "appreciative" gaze.
