"Change the emperor's mind?" The old eunuch was a little confused and stopped after hearing this.
He stopped in front of a fan-shaped corridor door similar to a villa.
The rain soaked through the pink paint on the stone wall, and the patches of ivy on the wall were drooping sickly.
This appearance is the same as that of Xia Shang now.
However, in the eyes of the old eunuch, this little devil who seemed to be at the end of his rope might really be like the ivy on the wall, which would become full of life again as long as the sun shines.
The old eunuch has met so many people in his life, including all kinds of dignitaries, celebrities and wealthy businessmen, and all kinds of warriors and wise men. They all said many things to him.
But no one could make the old eunuch doubtful, because the old eunuch never took the words of anyone other than the emperor to heart.
But this boy was different, and the old eunuch didn't know what was different about him.
Although this kid has no martial arts and no power, his resourcefulness and courage are unprecedented in his life.
The most important thing is that the old eunuch always feels that this boy has a composure and calmness that belies his age, like a cockroach that cannot die, always able to create miracles in seemingly desperate situations.
For example, there was absolutely no other person in the world who could change the emperor in the main hall.
This proves that he has the ability to change the emperor's decision!
And now he said that maybe the emperor would change his mind...
This sentence and the previous experience immediately made the old eunuch hesitate.
In addition, the old eunuch liked this boy, but he was a slave and could not express his preference, so he kept it hidden and did what he was told.
People's hearts are always biased, and even saints can't help but have their own emotions mixed in with them.
The old eunuch was no exception. After hearing Xia Shang's words, he would rather believe Xia Shang's words. Maybe the emperor would really change.
However, the old eunuch would not show it on his lips and face. After stopping to think for a while, he sneered: "My lord, I am afraid you will be disappointed this time. The emperor will not see you. It is impossible for you to see the emperor again."
The old eunuch's pause gave Xia Shang some time. In this way, Xia Shang had a countermeasure in his mind and said calmly: "Father, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I know that I can't see the emperor."
Yes. But before midnight tonight, the Emperor will change his mind, that’s for sure.”
Seeing Xia Shang being so confident, the old eunuch became even more confused: "Why are you so confident, sir?"
"Eunuch, since the last time I treated the emperor, I have known that the emperor has murderous intentions towards me. Today, when I come to the palace, I have thrown myself into a trap. How can I enter the palace easily without complete preparations? Although it is true.
In order to save those scholars, but compared with my own life, my own life is naturally more important. If I dare to come, I will be sure to save my own life."
The old eunuch squinted his eyes, thinking about what he had done in the past, and he agreed with his way of doing things: "Why did you tell me this?"
"Because whether I can survive or not depends on my father-in-law's thoughts."
"Um?"
"If my father-in-law wants to kill Xiaguan at this time, Xiaguan will not be able to do it even if he tries all kinds of tricks. But if my father-in-law still has that kind of benevolence, Xiaguan will have a glimmer of hope."
"Your Majesty, you want to see if I am willing to wait until the emperor changes his mind?"
"Exactly."
"My lord is so calm, it seems that I have determined that the old slave will fulfill your wishes?"
"Too."
"Then how do you judge that this old slave will be soft-hearted?"
"Because I believe that among the people who died in the hands of my father-in-law, I must be the one who talked to my father-in-law the most. If my father-in-law really wanted to kill my father-in-law, he would have done it long ago. Because my father-in-law felt that it was a pity that my father-in-law died, and my father-in-law
I don’t understand why the emperor wanted to kill me. The confusion between the two parties made my father-in-law mentally unstable. Although he was ordered to kill me, he didn’t want to. Is that right?”
When the old eunuch heard this, his expression changed with horror. He bowed and saluted Xia Shang, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, you are truly a man of God! If you have adults here in the world of Great China, things will really be different!"
Xia Shang also bowed deeply: "Father, please grant me your wish."
The old eunuch did not answer directly, but he loosened his hand on Xia Shang's back, took two steps away, and made a gesture of invitation: "Sir, please come in."
There is a fan-shaped corridor inside. After passing through, I don’t know what kind of garden it is. It looks like an abandoned palace maid’s residence. There is a small empty room. There are many flowers and plants outside, but no one has taken care of them for a long time. Weeds
It's overgrown and looks very messy.
After arriving here, the father-in-law said: "Today, I will believe you for once. I will accompany you in this small courtyard until the time of childbirth. If there is an imperial edict before the child's time, I will let you go. If the child's time has passed, I will let you go."
If the imperial edict is not received, the old slave will kill you again. At that time, you should not blame the old slave."
"My father-in-law is so kind and kind. Even if he dies, I will still be grateful for my father-in-law's kindness."
At this moment, far outside the palace, a ray of red cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, disappearing briefly amid the torrential rain.
Xia Shang noticed it, but thought he had seen it wrong. He was about to ask the old eunuch if he had also noticed it, but saw that the old eunuch's face had changed and he was looking solemnly at the place where the red glow had just flashed.
"Father-in-law, have you noticed it too?"
The old eunuch nodded heavily.
Judging from the old eunuch's appearance, he seemed to know what the red clouds represented.
Xia Shang immediately asked: "Father, what is Hongxia?"
"The smell of a master!" the old eunuch said in a low voice, "A master has appeared in the capital!"
After saying that, the old eunuch clenched his hands, and an invisible aura erupted, and a familiar pressure from a master instantly enveloped Xia Shang's body.
Xia Shang's expression changed instantly. What he was afraid of was not the aura of the grandmaster, but the possibility of disrupting his plan.
There are rumors in the capital that any master who dares to appear in the capital will be killed by the mysterious master from the palace.
And this old eunuch is the mysterious master in the palace!
If the Grandmaster really appeared in the capital, then he might go and kill the Grandmaster. But now he has to look at himself, and he will definitely not be able to get away.
If he must come forward, the old eunuch would most likely kill Xia Shang directly and then leave.
If that were the case, Xia and Shang would be doomed.
Thinking of this possibility, Xia Shang's heart was in his throat and he did not dare to speak. He could only wait for the old eunuch's decision.
After standing in the rain in the courtyard for a long time, the old eunuch seemed to have come back to his senses. He looked at Xia Shang and was a little confused. He asked, "Sir, what are you doing in the rain?"
"Oh." Xia Shang was a little confused when he returned, because he couldn't figure out what the old eunuch was thinking.
At this time, the old eunuch had already opened the door of the hut and was waiting for Xia Shang to pass.
Xia Shang was about to turn around when he suddenly noticed a very strange kind of grass among the weeds in the flower bed. An idea flashed through Xia Shang's mind like lightning. He immediately reached out and grabbed a bunch of grass leaves and stuffed them into his sleeves.
Finally, I turned back and entered the house. (To be continued)
