"Tell me, what are you thinking about? I also want to know what could happen to a person who has accompanied my father from the prince's residence to the palace for decades and be so shocked."

Those who can securely hold the position of Chief Imperial Officer naturally have two skills.

And because he has always been a popular person around the emperor, he may not necessarily know less information than Feng Juxu, and may even know more than Feng Juxu.

Being questioned so directly by His Highness the King of War, I knew that if I didn't say something that would satisfy His Highness the King of War today, I would probably die.

Although the old emperor was protecting him, the old emperor was still unconscious and he had indeed extinguished the candle.

His Royal Highness the War King insisted on saying that he intended to assassinate, but he had no evidence to refute it.

For the master's great cause and the current plan, there is only -

"Your Highness, King of War, there is nothing the old slave can do. Although the old slave is a rootless person, he still has a family."

Feng Juxu didn't say anything and remained seated, only staring at the hat of the imperial steward who was kneeling on the ground.

The chamberlain, who was already prepared that His Highness the War King would not talk to him, continued to cry.

"If the relatives at home were not controlled by others, why would the old slave take such a risk when he is living such a stable life in the palace?"

If it were anyone else, they would naturally believe what the royal steward said. After all, to be able to obey orders in front of the emperor, to be regarded as his right-hand man, and to be trusted more than any of the emperor's heirs, he really didn't need to do anything.

Even the royal family members had to please him just to leave a good impression in the emperor's heart.

But who is Feng Juxu? He is His Royal Highness the War King who can take command at a young age!

Think of a few words to make him take off his guard? Just think of a few words and lead him by the nose? dream!

"You have your father protecting you. Even if anyone dares to control your family, your father will make the decision for you. And..."

Feng Juxu reached out and picked up the ruler from the table, held it in his hand, lifted the chin of the imperial steward, and looked at him.

"Why do I remember that any eunuch who stays with the emperor, whether a senior eunuch or a junior eunuch, is an orphan and has no family."

This was still the order of the late emperor when he was in power. It was to prevent eunuchs from becoming too powerful and to prevent some aristocratic families from carefully cultivating good seedlings with ulterior motives.

When the late emperor was in power, he found a young eunuch in the palace. In just three years, he went from cleaning toilets to writing for a saint, and was eventually recognized by the Minister of Dali Temple as a bastard who was lost when he was three years old.

The late emperor secretly investigated for several years, and finally confirmed that the young eunuch was deliberately lost by the Dali Temple Minister in order to change his identity and enter the palace to get closer to the imperial power.

The women in the harem are just pawns. Eunuchs, who are the least favored and even humiliated people in the harem, can more easily obtain corresponding benefits and information if they operate properly.

Therefore, the people around the emperor have gone through several rounds of screening, and even before the time for the new emperor's accession to the throne has been determined, all the eunuchs have been decided in advance.

What the imperial steward said would only push him deeper into the abyss.

"You intended to assassinate the legitimate son of the palace, and now you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. You really don't want this head."

How calm Feng Juxu's tone was, how panicked the imperial chief's heart was.

At this time, Feng Juxu thought about his princess. It would be great if his Jin'er was in the palace at this time. He would definitely be able to hear all the thoughts in the old eunuch's heart.

Forget it, don't bother her anymore, just rest well if you feel unwell.

The great imperial court has been filled with smoke and smoke for a long time, and it's not just one or two days.

"Still unwilling to say it? Then don't say it. I also want to see how many people like you are there in this palace."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the people who had been waiting outside covered the mouth of the royal steward, tied his hands and feet and dragged him away.

Feng Juxu was no longer in the mood to read the memorial, and slowly stood up and walked out of Xinuan Pavilion, heading towards the star observatory.

It is the highest place in the palace and the farthest place. It is also the place where the wind is the strongest and the temperature is the lowest.

Standing on the observatory and looking into the distance, thousands of lights are scattered dotted.

Look up at the twinkling stars in the sky and look for the biggest and brightest one among them.

The corners of Feng Juxu's eyes gradually became moist, and there was a sense of helplessness and powerlessness in his voice.

"Grandfather, you must be disappointed when you look at it from heaven. The great seal has become like this now. It's a pity that the solid foundation laid by you and your ancestors is now about to collapse."

"The prince is dead, and those who are careless are fighting among themselves, and even colluding with the forces of various countries in order to win the throne. Today's great seal, my grandson no longer knows where to start to rectify it."

I originally thought that as long as I controlled the emperor and killed and subdued all the restless ones, everything would be fine.

But after only two days in prison, Feng Juxu fully understood what it meant to watch and wait for the demise of an eight-hundred-year-old dynasty.

"Grandfather, you often say that great wisdom will inevitably lead to injury. You also often say that it is not the right time, so when is the right time?"

Feng Juxu lowered his head in despair, like a child who had lost all his favorite toys, with tears dripping down his cheeks.

"Feng Juxu, are you a bad guy for going to such a cold place in the middle of the night to look for freezing?"

Familiar sounds and tones clearly reached Feng Juxu’s ears.

Feng Juxu raised his head in disbelief and looked at the person standing not far away, his eyes filled with tears but he slowly smiled.

For a moment, Hua Sijin felt her heart aching, and she took a few steps in the direction of Feng Juxu uncontrollably.

Feng Juxu hurriedly raised his sleeves to quickly wipe away his tears, not forgetting to raise his head and blink his eyes quickly.

After making sure that she wouldn't shed any more tears, she regained her composure in front of everyone. He hugged Hua Sijin and hugged her tightly, not forgetting to wrap the two of them in his cloak.

"Aren't you sleeping in the mansion? Why did you enter the palace?"

Hua Sijin rolled her eyes and couldn't help muttering in her heart——

It wasn't your Zhui Feng who was so anxious that he cried outside and woke her up.

But thinking of Feng Juxu's fragile look just now, Hua Sijin couldn't bear to provoke him.

"I miss you. You come back from the palace to see how I am doing. I also have to go to the palace to see what you are missing so that I can prepare some for you."

Feng Juxu laughed out loud and hugged the person in his arms tighter.

"You haven't said anything yet, but you came to such a desolate place to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night. What happened to make you so abnormal?"

"I've been dealing with too many court affairs in the palace recently, and I'm a little overwhelmed for a while. It's nothing serious."

Hua Sijin didn't believe his words, she tilted her head to face his Adam's apple suspiciously, and after thinking about it, she stubbornly raised her head and stared into his eyes.

"Your eyes tell me it's not that simple and you're lying."
