"How dare I? Caring for your Majesty and sharing your burdens are my duties as a servant. I dare not ask for praise."

Rong Cheng looked down at the person who was bowing his head on the ground and said, "Alright, get up."

Damn it, after rebirth, he broke all the rules of his previous life of not kneeling to heaven and earth, not kneeling to parents, and not kneeling to teachers. Chen Huai is now afraid that he will not be able to leave the palace and play around in the world again, otherwise his waist will be broken.

He endured the dull pain in his waist, stood up respectfully, and stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Rong Cheng looked up and down at the handsome deputy eunuch. He didn't look like a feminine eunuch at all, especially the romantic look between his brows. He looked more like a playboy who was intoxicated by the gentle world.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Eunuch Chen has changed a lot since he took leave half a year ago and came back to report on his work."

Chen Huai shuddered and bowed and replied:

"My servant fell and hurt his head. Now I feel like my brain is not working well."

"Oh? Why did you fall and get injured? Did Eunuch Chen have any enemies outside?"

"How could that be? I am an honest person, how could I make an enemy with someone? Actually, it was because of a banana peel that I stepped on and injured my head."

Chen Huai had just arrived here at that time, and he deliberately asked for leave because he was afraid of being exposed. Now he could only deal with the bad luck in his previous life.

Rong Cheng stared at him coldly, which made Chen Huai feel frightened. His voice suddenly became low:

"Really? A banana peel? Can a fall cause a eunuch to change so much that he would start watching this kind of thing instead?"

As he spoke, Rong Cheng threw a brown-covered book from the table, dropped it on the ground, and turned the pages to reveal a book of erotic pictures.

Chen Huai: Oh my god, which bastard wanted to harm him by presenting the treasure under his pillow to the emperor.

His eyes rolled and he had an idea. He quickly picked it up and patted it:

"Your Majesty, please do not use too much force. This is a unique copy that I found for you from the folk."

Rong Cheng was stunned, and said in a strange voice: "For me?"

"Heh... why is that book wrinkled? It seems like someone has been reading it often."

Chen Huai raised his head pretending to be calm:

"That's why it's called a rare copy. It's passed through the hands of so many collectors. It's so precious. I was planning to find an opportunity to make the emperor smile, but I didn't expect you to find it first."

"Really?"

"Of course it is true. I am a eunuch without any roots. What use is there for me to have this book?"

After Chen Huai finished speaking, he saw Rong Cheng looking at him with scrutiny, so he gritted his teeth secretly and looked at Rong Cheng with a look of pain and grievance:

"I am a loyal servant, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this. This is how I correct myself."

After saying that, he put his hand on the jade belt around his waist, pretending to take off his pants to correct his status as a eunuch. Seeing that he really threw away the jade belt and slightly pulled down his pants, Rong Cheng looked away irritably:

"Never mind, I was just joking, put it on."

Chen Huai thanked the emperor with joy, without a trace of humiliation on his face, and acted the role of a servant just right.

Rong Cheng stopped looking at him, casually threw the pornographic picture aside, sat on the dragon chair behind the table, and said seriously:

"What about the death of Li Ying, the chief of the Imperial Household Department, whom I asked you to investigate? Is there any progress?"

Li Ying, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Seal, the Chi Fu, and the general's seal, was found dead in a pond in the Imperial Garden a few days ago. His body was swollen when he was raised, and there were signs on his legs that he had been tied with heavy objects.

Since Li Ying was in charge of confidential letters, the emperor had just ascended the throne and was not yet fully grown, so he gave him this unfortunate and offensive task, asking him to secretly retrieve the lost imperial seal.

Chen Huai fastened his belt and said with a serious look:

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I can only follow Li Ying's clues and dare not make it public. Now I only know that he has a gambling brother outside the palace who also disappeared a few days ago. The clues are broken."

Rong Cheng's face was heavy, and he slammed the table:

"Is this your efficiency in handling cases? You also know that this matter is serious. I will give you another ten days. If there is no news, bring your head to me."

"Now, get out!"

Chen Huai saluted respectfully and then walked out.

After coming out, Chen Huai exhaled into the distant sky. Accompanying the dragon was not an easy job. If you were not careful, you could easily lose your head.

It was all because he was greedy for beauty and wanted to see the looks of the women in the harem, so he didn't leave the palace at the first moment.

However, this body has a secret, it is a fake eunuch. It would not be a good idea for him to act on his own before finding out the truth.

On the way back to Silijian, Chen Huai followed the clues and thought that someone obviously wanted to harm him with the pornographic picture today. He recalled the trivial things that happened in the past six months. The only person who was worthy of suspicion was the eunuch who held the seal of Silijian, Zhao Mo.

He is a smiling tiger and is targeting me.

While I was thinking, I bumped into a man head-on. He was about forty years old, fat, with a thick layer of white powder on his face and feminine eyes.

Chen Huai quickly waved his sleeves and saluted: "Greetings to Master Zhao"

Zhao Mo raised his orchid finger, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up in a smile:

"Oh, it's Eunuch Chen. Why don't you go to please the ladies today? Where did this come from?"

You are asking despite knowing the answer, old man. If he hadn't thought quickly and wanted to take off his pants to clear his name today, he would have been severely punished by the emperor even if he didn't lose his head.

Chen Huai used this excuse to vent his anger:

"Don't mention it. I don't know which bastard who has no descendants reported me to the emperor, and the emperor almost beat me with a stick."

The words "no offspring" touched Zhao Mo's sore spot. He immediately grasped the armrest of the chair and looked at Chen Huai with a gloomy face:

"So that's how it is. I thought you were not doing your job well and the Emperor punished you."

"What's wrong? What did the seal say?"

Chen Huai had his own plan in mind. The emperor had entrusted this matter to him in secret without going through Zhao Mo because he was afraid that Zhao Mo was old and had too many complicated people around him.

How did he know?

Zhao Mo was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled again:

"That's what I said. The Imperial Household Department is already busy with its work, so how can the Emperor assign you any extra tasks? Okay, go sort out the accumulated account books, and I'll tell you in detail later."

"Yes"

After Chen Huai was sent out, he became more and more convinced that Zhao Mo was definitely related to the jade seal case, otherwise the timing would not be so coincidental. He sent the pornographic pictures that he had been looking at for a long time at this time just because he didn't want to investigate the Li Ying case himself.

It seems that this palace is indeed not simple. Even though it is hidden so carefully, people still got the news.

Arriving at his own room in the Imperial Household Department, Chen Huai waved away the eunuchs who were cleaning and sat on a chair thinking, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and there were three regents appointed by the previous emperor in the court, namely the Grand Marshal Pei An, the Prime Minister Wei Chen, and the emperor's uncle, Prince Yong'an Rong Zhaolin.

Among them, Wei Chen was upright, loyal and patriotic, while Prince Yong'an was low-key and seldom participated in court affairs.

Only Pei An, relying on his outstanding military achievements, sometimes dared to refute the emperor's opinions in the court, and he had a close relationship with Zhao Mo.

Chen Huai's face suddenly turned ugly when he thought of this...
