There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, and King Qi had to straighten his expression. He could not expose this matter, so he could only reluctantly say to Princess Qi: "If there is an emergency ahead, come to me, I have to deal with it. Princess, you can decide for yourself about the backyard, wait."
I'll come back to you when I'm done."
With that said, he sent his son to the princess's arms again, hurried out, and said to the eunuch: "Let's arrange it and take the secret passage!"
"Yes!" the eunuch responded immediately.
"Father hasn't asked me about my homework these days." The child, who had begun to enlighten, looked at his father's retreating figure and said to Princess Qi with a little grievance.
Princess Qi hurriedly coaxed: "Your father has been too busy recently. I didn't forget it on purpose. When your father is done with his work later, he will definitely get together to ask you, so you have to study hard so that you won't be late."
Your father asked me about it, but I didn't know anything about it. Do you know?"
"My son knows." Her son said.
Holding her young son in her arms, the young and beautiful Princess Qi waved to invite Concubine An to leave. Looking at the front yard in the empty flower hall again, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
It was fine for her husband to have concubines and concubines. Before she got married, she knew that as a princess, her husband could not have only her as his wife. Regardless of whether there would be a further day, the existence of concubines was destined.
However, the husband is often busy with government affairs, and he may do hurtful things while sleeping. Even though the husband and wife have a good relationship, they never sleep together until dawn.
Usually I would leave in a hurry after saying a few words.
Even though she was not obsessed with love and acted generously and decently, Princess Qi could not avoid being disappointed.
On the official ship that was getting farther and farther away from the capital, the eunuch Luo Ji who was "invited" by Luo Pei's order was still angry in his eyes in the flower hall even after a day. His anger made his whole face look ferocious, and there were blue veins on his neck.
They all jumped up. Seeing this, the next moment they rushed out to fight Luo Pei hand-to-hand, which would not surprise anyone present.
But this obviously didn't work. Even if he wanted to kill Luo Pei immediately, the eunuch had to suppress his anger.
The situation is stronger than the person, and being tough will only make things develop in the direction he doesn't want to see.
As a eunuch, there is naturally not much display of force and cruelty on the surface, but more of manipulation in secret and deception and harm behind the scenes.
"When the prince comes to the throne and our family gains power, we must kill all those villains! That old man Luo Pei, our family must cut him into pieces to satisfy our hatred!"
"They humiliated me like this in front of those people. If I could bear it, I would be a turtle!" He hated Luo Pei in his heart even more than Su Ziji or other murderers who might have ruined his plan.
He glanced at the few people he had summoned around him. They were all the backbone of the team. Luo Ji twitched his lips and asked, "You know why our family called you here. Tell me now.
Is there any way now to successfully complete the mission?"
There was nothing to say. Since they were following King Qi, how could they not know Luo Ji's temperament?
Without Mr. Chu, if you ask him for advice, you will probably get yourself into a trap. No one has come up with this idea. Besides, they really have nothing to do. Without Mr. Chu, many things will indeed be difficult to handle.
The eunuch was very dissatisfied with their attitude and sneered: "Are you all mute? You must express your opinion today. Is there anything you can do?"
Seeing that they still lowered their heads and said nothing, he simply nodded to the guard casually: "Speak first."
The guard sighed helplessly and had to say: "Father, everything here must be reported to the prince. Why don't you ask the prince for instructions on the report letter? After the situation changes, I also ask for the prince's instructions whether to intercept and kill him in the middle.
For the best."
Doesn't this mean that you are incompetent?
Luo Ji suddenly became furious and slapped him across the face. Amidst the clear slap, he screamed: "Mr. Chu, this was decided before. You didn't object at that time. If you object now, could it be because you think our eunuch is unworthy?"
Instructing you to wait?"
There was burning pain on his face, and a trace of anger flashed in the guard's eyes. He was a high-ranking official after all, and he had never been treated like this. He just felt really aggrieved and had to endure it.
Honestly speaking, it is unwise to attack a champion, and the court will definitely investigate. By then, the prince or the eunuch may be fine, but he and others may be scapegoated.
When Chu Gurong was there before, he was helpless, but now he didn't want to continue. He smiled apologetically and continued: "Now that Mr. Chu is gone, no one knows what the specific arrangements are. It would be great if this matter succeeds. If it fails, how can my father-in-law report to him?"
Where is the prince's explanation?"
This seems to be a very sincere statement, and it is indeed a good word.
The eunuch listened, and actually felt that it made sense. But he said that just now, and now he changed his words in front of a few people. Wouldn't it make these people feel that he was easy to bully?
As an eunuch, he has a good reputation and holds grudges. Eunuch Zhao is just like him, he can deal with things rationally. Luo Ji is like this, which is fine at ordinary times. Once such an emergency occurs, it will reveal the flaws in his character.
Now, even though he knew what he said was reasonable, he still sneered and pointed at this person: "Xun Sichen. Since you can say this, you must have a plan in mind? Then go and handle this matter and bring your people with you.
Go and assassinate Su Ziji!"
Seeing the hesitation on Xun Sichen's face, the eunuch said coldly: "If you don't go, I will take you down immediately for questioning."
Several people witnessed this scene, and they all sympathized with their colleagues and were even a little indignant. However, facing this matter, they could only keep their mouths shut to avoid following in the footsteps of their colleagues.
Xun Sichen felt a chill in his heart and wished he could kill the eunuch with his sword. If he mobilized all his men, maybe he could get the job done.
If you divide your troops now and let yourself go in a small group, this is to commit suicide!
Why did I encounter such a stupid superior?
But even with all the anger, the senior official was crushing people to death. At this time, he was stared at coldly by this eunuch. In the end, he had no choice but to obey the order: "I just obey the order."
The speaker did not realize that while he was talking, there were two white foxes, one large and one small, lying on the roof of the cabin, listening.
Although their white color is conspicuous, they move extremely fast, like a gust of wind, and no one notices them as they pass by.
At this time, after hearing the conversation and seeing that the people inside dispersed, the two foxes looked at each other, blew through two gusts of wind again, and returned to the official ship where Su Ziji was.
"Huh? Did something pass by just now?" Two soldiers were patrolling the deck. One of them looked up, confused.
A soldier was startled, looked around, found nothing, and frowned: "No, are you dazzled?"
"Maybe." Thinking of the drowning of people in the fleet not long ago, the two of them looked at each other and kept silent about such things, so as not to attract bad luck.
As for the white shadow I saw, when I thought that maybe I was the only one who saw it, and then thought about the dead person before, why would I still want to mention it?
The two of them were even more silent than before. They patrolled to the opposite side and didn't even return to the original place.
