The emperor felt desolate. He thought that he controlled all the power in his hands. Anyone who didnât agree with him in court was either suppressed by him or accused of various crimes because of his suspicions.
At this critical moment, he actually didnât have anyone to use. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were only those who only knew how to flatter him all day long but did not have any real ability.
He glanced at Eunuch Li and seemed to have made up his mind. He moved his eyes with difficulty and looked in a certain direction.
Eunuch Li followed his gaze and looked in the direction of the door. Apart from an incense burner in the middle, there was nothing else. He asked with a bitter expression, âYour Majesty, are you asking me to get out?â
No, the emperor was furious, but he could not flare up. He could only blink twice.
Wasnât this what he said when he lied to Lord Rui during the day? Eunuch Li understood and thought for a moment before asking, âYour Majesty, do you want me to take something?â
The emperor blinked once.
However, there was only an incense burner there. The incense burner had to be cleaned and changed every day. It was obvious that what the emperor wanted could not be inside.
The emperor continued to roll his eyes.
Eunuch Li was stunned. He reacted and asked, âIs the thing in the jade pillow?â The emperor blinked again.
Eunuch Li gritted his teeth. âYour Majesty, please forgive any offense.â
Unexpectedly, just as he picked up the emperorâs head, a cold voice came from behind. âEunuch Li, how about I help you?â
Eunuch Li trembled in fear. He let go of the emperorâs head which smashed back onto the jade pillow.
One didnât have to look at his expression to know how painful it was just from the sound.
However, Eunuch Li couldnât care less. He didnât know how much Shangguan Pu had heard, so he could only force himself to calm down. He turned around and squeezed out a smile. âYour Highness, youâre here.â
Shangguan Pu walked to the bed and looked down at the twisted emperor. He raised his eyebrows. âOh dear. How do you serve others? Look at how much youâve hurt my father.â
Eunuch Li could not figure out what he meant, so he could only kowtow and admit his mistake. âI deserve to die.â
âIndeed, you deserve to die. Hurry up and help my father up. Didnât he want to take something? Iâll help him take it.â
Eunuch Li was stunned. When he met the emperorâs eyes that were about to pop out, he lowered his head and did not dare to look again. He only carefully reached out and helped him up again.
Shangguan Pu pulled out the jade pillow and glanced at the emperor. He used his internal energy to shatter the jade pillow.
A half tiger talisman fell out.
âThis is the tiger talisman which controls the 100,000 city guards?â Shangguan Pu picked it up and sneered. âEunuch Li, who are you preparing to give this to?â
âOf course⦠Of course itâs for Your Highness.â Eunuch Li smiled awkwardly and said obsequiously, âHasnât His Highness been looking for this? I deliberately lied to Your Majesty just now to help His Highness find this.â
âIs that so?â Lord Jing didnât say whether he believed it or not. Instead, he looked at the Emperor with sympathy. âFather, do you see this? This is the person you trust. I feel sorry for you. You treat the person you shouldnât trust like a treasure.â
âYouâre clearly an evil person, but you still want a good reputation. Youâre really vicious and hypocritical.â
âWho can you blame for ending up like this?â
âUnfilial son, you unfilial son.â the emperor thought.
The emperor could not speak. He could only glare at the person above to show his anger.
Shangguan Pu shook his head. âIf you hadnât spared Song Jingchenâs life back then, you wouldnât have known about the kidnapped girls, and I wouldnât have attacked you in advance. Isnât this predestined by the heavens?â
âBut Father, donât worry. Havenât you always wanted Song Jingchenâs life? Not to mention anything else, Iâll definitely do this for you. Iâll let you have a companion when you leave.â
The emperor was so angry that his breathing quickened and he fainted.
If not for the fact that the conditions did not allow it, Eunuch Li would have fainted. What he regretted the most now was why he let Eunuch Deng go back and rest.
âEunuch Li.â Shangguan Pu looked at him.
Eunuch Li broke out in cold sweat. âYour Highness, what can I do for you?â
Shangguan Pu smiled coldly. âFather is awake, but he still needs to recuperate.
Donât let anyone disturb him in the future.â
Was he trying to completely imprison the emperor?
Eunuch Li gasped. âWhat about the concubines in the harem?â
âMy mother will take care of those people. You just have to send those ministers back.â
âBy the way, from tomorrow onwards, Iâll get Commander MO to send people to guard outside day and night. Eunuch Li, donât do anything to make me unhappy. â
Eunuch Li was the most trusted person by the emperorâs side. Shangguan Pu still needed him for something, so he naturally wouldnât kill him.
Eunuch Liâs heart turned cold. The last thing Shangguan Pu needed was for him to read the imperial edict, right?
At the same time, Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia learned from the old prince what had happened in the imperial study that day.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and could not help but confirm again. âSo there was something wrong with the emperor when you went in?â
How stupid was this person?
