"You two should go down first." Eunuch Zhao frowned, seeming to find it troublesome, but he still said to the two young eunuchs standing nearby: "It's getting late, you go and have a rest."
This is the palace, not outside, and Eunuch Zhao is not afraid of someone assassinating him here.
Besides, given his current situation, even Ma Shunde, who had always regarded him as a thorn in his flesh in the past, would not bother to do this.
The two young eunuchs responded respectfully and left.
After the others retreated, Eunuch Zhao looked at the little eunuch in front of him as if he was smiling. With a hint of surprise on his face, which usually looked kind even when not smiling, he asked: "Who sent you here?"
The little eunuch's expression changed instantly. He kowtowed his head smartly and calmly: "Of course I belong to Liu Cairen. However, someone asked me to ask you a question."
He opened his mouth, but his voice became hoarse and low: "You...do you still remember the kindness of me and the prince?"
"you……"
As soon as these words came out, the calm Eunuch Zhao suddenly changed his expression, his face turned blue and white, he stood up and stared at the little eunuch with eager eyes. At this time, the candle light flickered on and off, illuminating all the facial features with a ferocious look, and he could only hear the gloomy sound.
Said: "Well? What did you say?"
The little eunuch knelt in front of him. Even though he was prepared, he didn't have much experience after all. He trembled a little. However, it was too late to change his words at this time. He kowtowed to the ground and said: "Back to my father-in-law... are you still thinking of me?"
And the prince’s kindness?”
When these words came out again, Eunuch Zhao had no luck anymore. He sat back in the chair with a "pop!" and felt dizzy. He stretched out his hand to hold the cup, his fingers were trembling, and the tea spilled out.
He always said that the Queen was virtuous, but he knew that the Queen would silently pay attention to the young eunuchs and maids, looking for people with potential.
There is no need to deliberately grind, the palace itself is a big mill, and everyone will encounter obstacles. At that time, there were more than 200 eunuchs who entered in a group. Later, 17 of them became famous. Now only six survive, and the other one
He died silently in this palace city!
At that time, the empress sent people to relieve the siege. She was filled with gratitude and wrote a pledge of allegiance and a pledge of surrender.
The picture of writing allegiance flashed by, and Eunuch Zhao's eyes dimmed. He grabbed the cup with his hand and his fingers turned white.
I had no choice but to do so, not to mention now, even ten years ago, when I became a eunuch, I regretted it. I wanted to confess to the emperor several times, but I swallowed my words again.
He understands the emperor too well. Loyalty is not absolute, even if it is absolutely disloyal, it is impossible to gain trust if he speaks out. But the eunuch who cannot gain trust will end up like this...
Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhao's eyes glowed with a faint green light. The young eunuch had never seen Eunuch Zhao like this before. He originally held up his neck but finally couldn't hold on anymore and showed a timid expression.
Eunuch Zhao was stunned for a long time, then he called slightly: "Amu, Alin, come in!"
Two young eunuchs walked in from outside, and at Eunuch Zhao's signal, they walked up to Eunuch Zhao.
"You two..." Eunuch Zhao ordered in a low voice.
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and did not dare to listen. He lowered his head and waited for the result.
After a while, the two young eunuchs went out for a while to burn incense. Eunuch Zhao seemed to remember him and his eyes fell on the young eunuch again.
"I already know what happened this time. This is how you report it when you go back." Eunuch Zhao said slowly. After speaking, he said: "Okay, you can go out. This is a reward for you."
A heavy purse was thrown to the ground and landed right in front of the little eunuch.
The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, and with just a squeeze, he knew that there were more than a dozen golden melon seeds inside!
This is good stuff!
"Yes! Yes!" The little eunuch felt relieved, his fear was replaced by the joy of suddenly getting rich. He knelt down and thanked him a few times, then got up and went out.
Once this mission is completed, you will surely be able to achieve meritorious service, or you will be able to achieve great success. Not to mention becoming an imperial eunuch, you will have to become the foreman of the palace, right?
Just then he thought about it. Just when his feet were about to step over the threshold, he heard a "pop" sound and felt pain in his vest. He opened his eyes wide and looked down, and saw the bloody tip of the knife. He wanted to go back to see the person who killed him, but he couldn't even see the person who killed him.
He didn't have the strength to do so, so he murmured twice, jumped forward, fell to the ground, and started twitching.
"..."
Quietly, the two eunuchs who had just left walked in again with calm expressions. They didn't even blink when they saw the body lying face down on the ground.
One person walked up to Eunuch Zhao and presented a rolled-up piece of paper with both hands.
Eunuch Zhao wiped his hands with a handkerchief and wiped the gaps between his fingers carelessly. Then he threw the handkerchief to the ground, took the roll of paper, and returned to the soft couch where he was sitting before, intending to sit down and read slowly.
In fact, there was no need to kill the little eunuch, but because he couldn't breathe, he naturally took it out on the little eunuch.
In just a moment, the two eunuchs collected the corpses on the ground and the handkerchiefs thrown to the ground.
The body was dragged out, and someone else came in to wipe the blood on the ground, and someone else cleaned the surrounding area. In just a moment, the house returned to its previous appearance.
Except for the fishy smell in the air, no one could tell that a person had just died here.
Eunuch Zhao sat on the soft couch, slowly unfolded the rolled paper, and looked at it by candlelight. His eyes swept over it, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn. Finally, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes!
"Crack!"
The paper in his hand was slapped directly on the low table in front of him, and even the fruits on the heavy plate jumped three times because of the slap.
This piece of paper was directly smashed to pieces by the wind of the palm, which shows Eunuch Zhao's shock.
"That's it...that's it..." Eunuch Zhao kept chanting these four words.
I see!
Let's just say, why has the Queen and the Queen been silent for twenty years, and now someone suddenly spreads this sentence? It turns out that what happened to the prince back then is going to happen again?
His mind was racing, and he was even restless. He had to get up again and pace back and forth in the small room.
"Thirty years of heartache!"
At that time, it was not only the favor of the empress, but also some help to the prince. These are all documented.
It's just that he was still a low-level eunuch when the prince died, so the events that almost killed the princelings in those years had nothing to do with him.
He was not traced to be related to the prince, which made Eunuch Zhao, who was initially worried and couldn't sleep at night, breathe a sigh of relief.
Eunuch Zhao thought that he was the only person in the world who knew about this matter.
After all, no matter how many people he entered the palace with or who he recommended to enter the palace, all of them died many years ago.
As for the Queen, she no longer has a son, what else can she do?
