fake prince

Chapter 967 Heart Like Ashes
"Both of you go down first." Eunuch Zhao frowned, as if he felt troubled, but he still said to the two young eunuchs standing beside him: "It's getting late, you guys go to rest."

This is the palace, not outside, and Eunuch Zhao is not afraid of someone being assassinated here.

Besides, with his current situation, even Ma Shunde, who had always regarded him as a thorn in his side, would not do anything unnecessary.

The two young eunuchs responded respectfully and withdrew.

When the people backed out, Eunuch Zhao looked at the little eunuch in front of him with a half-smiling smile on his face, and asked with a hint of surprise on his kindly face, "Who sent you here?"

The little eunuch's expression changed instantly, and he kowtowed cleverly and calmly: "Of course the villain belongs to Liu Cairen, but someone asked the villain to ask you a question."

He opened his mouth, but his voice became hoarse and deep: "You...do you still remember the kindness of this palace and the prince?"

"you……"

As soon as these words came out, the calm Eunuch Zhao suddenly changed his face, his face turned pale, he stood up, and stared at the little eunuch. Said: "Huh? What did you say?"

The little eunuch knelt in front of him, even if he was prepared, but after all he didn't have much experience, his body trembled a bit, but it was too late to change his words, he kowtowed to the ground, and said, "Returning to my father-in-law...you still think about me Is it the kindness with the prince?"

This sentence came out again, and Eunuch Zhao was no longer lucky. He sat back in the chair with a "plop", dizzy for a while, reached out to hold the cup, his fingers were trembling, and a piece of tea was spilled.

He always said that the empress is virtuous, but he knew that the empress would silently pay attention to the little 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 difficulties. At that time, there were more than 200 eunuchs who entered in a batch. Later, [-] were famous and respectable. Now only six survived. Die silently in this palace city!
At that time, the empress sent someone to relieve the siege. At that time, she wrote a pledge of allegiance with gratitude and a pledge of death.

The scene of writing allegiance back then flashed by, Eunuch Zhao's eyes dimmed, his fingers turned white while holding the cup.

Back then, I was forced to, let alone now, even ten years ago, I regretted becoming a great eunuch. I wanted to confess to the emperor several times, but I swallowed the words again.

He understands the emperor too well. Loyalty is not absolute, but it is absolutely disloyal. If he says it, it is impossible to gain trust. But the eunuch who cannot be trusted, this fate...

Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhao's eyes glowed with a faint green light. The little eunuch had never seen Eunuch Zhao like this. He stretched his neck to hold on, but finally couldn't hold on, showing timidity.

Eunuch Zhao was stunned for a long time, then Fang slightly raised his voice, "Amu, Alin, come in!"

Two young eunuchs walked in from the outside, and under the signal of Eunuch Zhao, they walked up to Eunuch Zhao.

"You two..." Eunuch Zhao ordered in a low voice.

The little eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to listen, and lowered his head, waiting for the result.

After a while, the two young eunuchs went out for a while, and Eunuch Zhao seemed to think of him, and his eyes fell on the young eunuch again.

"I already know what happened this time. You can report it like this when you go back." Eunuch Zhao said slowly, and after finishing speaking, he said again: "Okay, you go out, this is your reward."

A heavy purse was thrown to the ground, just in front of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand to take it, and just squeezed it, he knew there were more than a dozen golden melon seeds inside!

This is good stuff!

"Yes! Yes!" The little eunuch relaxed, fearing that he would be replaced by the joy of suddenly getting rich, knelt down and thanked a few words, then got up and went out.

After completing the task this time, he must be able to make meritorious service, or he will be able to rise to the top, not to mention becoming a former imperial eunuch, he must become the foreman of the palace, right?

Just thinking about it, just as his feet were about to step over the threshold, he heard a "pop", and his back hurt. He opened his eyes wide, looked down, and saw the bloody knife tip. He wanted to go back to see the person who killed him, but he didn't even Without such strength, he groaned twice, and jumped forward, fell to the ground, and twitched.

"..."

Quietly, the two eunuchs who had gone out just now came in again, their expressions were calm, and they didn't even blink their eyelids when they saw the corpse that fell face down on the ground.

One person walked up to Eunuch Zhao and offered a piece of rolled up paper with both hands.

Eunuch Zhao wiped his hands with a handkerchief, wiped his fingers carelessly, threw the handkerchief on the ground, took the roll of paper, and returned to the soft couch where he was sitting before, intending to sit down and read it slowly.

In fact, there was no need to kill this little eunuch, but whoever told himself that he could not vent his anger would naturally vent on this little eunuch.

In just a little while, the two eunuchs cleaned up the corpses on the ground, together with the handkerchiefs thrown on the ground.

The corpse was dragged out, and someone came in to wipe the blood on the ground, and someone cleaned the surrounding area. In just a moment, the house returned to its previous appearance.

Except for a little fishy smell in the air, no one could tell that a person died here just now.

Eunuch Zhao sat on the soft couch, slowly unfolded the rolled paper, looked at it by candlelight, his eyes swept over, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and finally a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes!
"Snapped!"

The paper in his hand was slapped directly on the low table in front of him, and even the melons and fruits on the thick platter jumped three times because of the slap.

The piece of paper was directly smashed by Zhang Feng, which shows the shock of Eunuch Zhao.

"So that's how it is...so that's how it is..." Eunuch Zhao kept repeating these four words.

That's it!

Just to put it bluntly, why did the empress empress not make any movement for 20 years, and now she would suddenly be told that it was what happened to the prince back then, and it was going to happen again?

His mind was full of thoughts, and he was even a little restless, so he had to get up again and paced back and forth in this small room.

"Thirty years of heart disease!"

Back then, it was not only the favor of the empress, but also the help of the prince himself, these are all well-documented.

It's just that he was still a low-level eunuch when the prince died, so the things that almost killed the princelings in those years had nothing to do with him.

He was not found to be related to the prince, which made Eunuch Zhao, who was worried and sleepless at first, heaved 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 entered the palace with him back then, or those who were recommended to enter the palace, all of them died many years ago.

As for the empress, she no longer has a son, what else can she do?
My heart is like ashes.
