Yes! I will take care of it now!" Eunuch Zhao responded, but was speechless: "That slave has retreated."
"Yes." The emperor responded noncommittally and took a heavy breath. However, the four eunuchs in the palace did not dare to move. They lowered their heads without saying a word and looked at the emperor with their eyes.
The emperor stood there with a gloomy expression, watching Eunuch Zhao leave. He stared for a long time and took a deep breath: "King Qi, King Shu, this is the last chance I give you."
Thinking of the little actions of King Qi and King Shu, his father had tolerated them for a long time, but he was the emperor first and then his father. If these two scoundrels never repented and did not cherish this opportunity, then there was no need for him to continue to tolerate it.
.
Thinking of the last order, the emperor inevitably still felt a little regretful, but he tried hard to endure it.
"This is also an opportunity for you, Ji Zizong."
The destruction of the medicine cache had filled the emperor with anger.
Check each other, and then fight without breaking through. Don't hinder me. This will be good for everyone. You must not let me down.
Outside the hall, Eunuch Zhao retreated. A gust of wind blew in. It was obviously not cold, and he shivered slightly. He could only hear the tinkling of wind chimes. Eunuch Zhao walked along the east corridor and stopped at one place.
Stare for a moment.
I saw only one palace, the door was closed, and there were only a few young eunuchs sweeping the floor. This was the East Palace (Qing Palace). I was filled with emotion. I couldn't help but remember that I had just met the prince and didn't know each other. Now that I think about it, it seems like it was yesterday.
thing……
Just thinking about it, I looked up and saw a person walking towards me, his eyes calm, as if he didn't have much resentment towards the palace where the blood and tears of his family were flowing, or he just didn't care.
"Prince!" Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, all the illusions disappeared in an instant, leaving only a void.
"Your Highness." Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but take a step forward and sighed.
Is this reincarnation?
Prince, your son has also been crowned king.
Being crowned king means officially joining the battle circle and being able to compete for the position of prince or grandson.
Why did Duke Dai take charge of the Yulin Guard before? Although he created a storm, few officials took refuge in him. Instead, they took refuge in the two kings. Even King Lu could get a share of the pie, but the identity of the concubine was not yet known.
If it is not a clan, it is not a king, and if it is not a king, it is not a heir. The Duke is still a title that can be achieved by ministers, but it does not have the right to inherit. Although there is only one step between him and the prince, he may not be able to cross it in his lifetime.
Being granted the title of king not only means that one can be on an equal footing with other kings, but also announces to the world that the prince's grandson, Ji Zizong, is allowed to fight for the title of heir.
With this permission, hundreds of officials took a gamble and took refuge.
Otherwise, who dares?
Even though he knew that this was the emperor's method of checking and balancing, the prince's bloodline finally gave him the possibility to enter this majestic palace again.
Eunuch Zhao let out a heavy breath and couldn't help but feel a little relieved for the dead prince.
Prince Qi's Mansion
A low sound of silk and bamboo came from a side courtyard. This is where the staff of Prince Qi's palace usually talk poetry and drink. Several dancers and musicians kept in the palace are adding to the fun. The maid in charge of pouring wine is pretty.
Several senior staff members had blurry eyes and mysterious smiles on their seemingly serious faces.
Their hands were not idle either, holding one or two maids in their arms and feeding each other wine.
Such maids exist only for the entertainment of the staff and guests, and will not be employed by the King of Qi. Although they are good-looking, they cannot climb onto the bed. On the contrary, if they can be favored by any important staff, even if they are concubines, they will be
is the best way out, so I have to work extra hard to please.
This made it even more obvious that the only staff member who had been left out was conspicuous, but this person smelled of alcohol, and he didn't know whether he was drunk or not. He didn't care about other people's eyes, he just lowered his head and drank.
"Hey, Brother Wen, why are you becoming more reticent now?" Someone seemed to be displeased with him hiding aside to "take some time off", deliberately hugging a maid and asking her to peel fruit for him, and said with a smile.
Wen Xunpeng slowly raised his eyelids and took a look. This look revealed an indescribable coldness, which made Wang Xuan tremble subconsciously, and the next words were stuck in his throat.
"Gentlemen, this is new news."
Just when Wang Xuan reacted and was about to get angry, a servant suddenly came in from outside. Seeing these staff, he hurriedly came over to salute, holding a sealed letter in his hand.
"Oh? New news? Let me send it to the prince this time!"
Wang Xuan snorted coldly, pushed the maid in his arms, stood up with a slight sway, stretched out his hand, and gestured to hand the letter to him.
"But..." The boy couldn't help but look at Wen Xunpeng.
Shouldn't Mr. Wen be on duty today?
Several staff members also looked at Wen Xunpeng, who was still sitting with his head down while drinking, with an expression as if he was watching a show.
According to the rules, it was Wen Xunpeng's turn to serve the prince today, but this was not the first time that Wen Xunpeng's opportunity to stand out in front of the prince was robbed. Wen Xunpeng had no objection in the past few times. This time, it seems that
With this posture, could it be that Wang Xuan would be robbed?
"But what?" Wang Xuan urged again impatiently.
The boy looked at Wang Xuan and then at Wen Xunpeng, and found that Mr. Wen didn't pay attention to what he said, so he had to hand the letter to Wang Xuan.
The few gentlemen in front of me are all gentlemen working around the prince. Any internal conflicts have nothing to do with them. No matter who they are, as long as someone can report the news to the prince.
Wang Xuanzhi was very proud of the successful cutting of the beard. He glanced at Wen Xunpeng and took the secret letter to report.
When Wang Xuan left the courtyard, the small courtyard that had been quiet became lively again.
"Brother Wen seems like an old man now. He just drinks and sleeps every day. He is really comfortable. But you can't do it all the time. Don't you want to show your face in front of the prince?" A staff member in his thirties couldn't bear it.
Just ask.
Someone immediately answered: "Isn't this good? If I offend the prince and get punished, it's better to be comfortable now. At least I won't make any mistakes without showing my face."
If Wen Xunpeng is really allowed to go to the prince, what else will happen to them?
Others don't understand, even a few staff members don't understand, but Wen Xunpeng is the most capable person among his group.
People immediately woke up to these words and quickly changed their words. Seeing that Wen Xunpeng had no reaction at all and turned a deaf ear to him, several staff members secretly despised him: he was just a piece of mud.
But at the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Wen Xunpeng was once the mastermind of King Qi, and all his staff used to act based on his face. When Wen Xunpeng gained power, their abilities were not shown at all. Now Wen Xunpeng seems to be really
It's a good thing for them to be discouraged and stop fighting.
"Hongmei, do you think Brother Wen is bored when he drinks alone? Why don't you go over and have a drink with him?" Another staff member deliberately smiled at the maid in his arms.
The maid is naturally unwilling. Who among the people in this mansion can't see that Mr. Wen's future has been bleak for a long time?
How can there be a good life if you follow him?
So, naturally he refused and said angrily: "Mr. Zhang, I am completely sincere to you, but you actually treat me like this?"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and wiped away tears.
