such as Yue Linyuan

Daheng country.

Prince An's Mansion.

After returning to the mansion in the early morning, Chu Yuezhi went directly to the bathroom and ordered hot water to be brought in, and then dismissed the servants who served him, and then went back to the dormitory to rest after bathing alone, and told him not to disturb him if there was nothing important to do .

Today, shortly after Choushi passed, he quietly left the Dugong's mansion under the cover of night, and hurried back to the mansion before Yinshi to change his court clothes, and then hurried into the palace to wait for the morning court.Because he was tossed all night last night, he felt very uncomfortable, so he returned home immediately in the morning.

Chu Yuezhi is the seventh younger brother of the current emperor, the previous emperor had few heirs, and he is the last prince.

Seven years ago, the eldest prince of the former Eastern Palace Prince was neglected by the former emperor, and he also saw that the former emperor was moved to waste his reserve, so he finally chose to use his private soldiers to rebel, and hijacked his aunt, the first empress, to seize control of the imperial guards. Desperate to force Gong to seize the throne.The three princes at that time, the current sage Chu Yuelei and Chu Yuezhi, who held the military power, entered the palace in the name of King Qin's rescue.

After the palace change, Chu Yuelei ascended to the throne of God logically with the support of several ministers.

After Chu Yuelei ascended the throne, he proclaimed Chu Yuezhi the Prince of An. Three years ago, Chu Yuezhi voluntarily handed over his military power on the grounds that he had suffered from many old illnesses after years of leading troops and fighting abroad. I don't want to touch the affairs of the DPRK anymore.

For the past three years, Chu Yuezhi has always lived as an idle prince.

Chu Yuelei loved Chu Yuezhi, who helped him ascend the throne, and not only the government and the public knew about it, but even ordinary people knew that although Prince An no longer had real power, he was still the emperor's most valued younger brother. The minister impeached Prince An, and the Holy One was furious and condemned. After that, no one dared to offend Prince An.

During this break, Chu Yuezhi did not sleep soundly.

He didn't know whether it was because of the severe pain behind him, or because he was overwhelmed with worry, he fell asleep for only two hours, and then woke up again because of the nightmare.

The cold sweat from the nightmare soaked the light blue pajamas, and the satin material stuck to his body like that, making him feel chills on his back and extremely uncomfortable.

His slender body was lying on the quilt of the bed, and he tore open the front of the pajamas, revealing a strong chest with a few obvious scars, which were left when he led soldiers to fight, but now he is just an idle man. My lord, the skin color has long since returned from the wheat color that was exposed to the wind and sun when he was marching abroad to a pampered fairness, but now, besides the knife scar, there are many bruises on his chest.

He was born to be good-looking, with a pair of slightly indifferent peach blossom eyes under the relaxed eyebrows, a nose that hangs boldly, heroic yet elegant, and his loose black hair is like satin, which makes his complexion more beautiful His body is much thinner than when he was leading the army, and he no longer has the posture of a general, but at this moment, his chest with bruises is exposed, which looks a bit of abusive beauty.

"Come here." Chu Yue stood up and called out, and the servant who was guarding outside the house immediately entered the house and knelt down outside the screen to wait for orders.

Sitting up from the bed, Chu Yuezhi rubbed his aching temples, and asked, "Where's Zhou Ji? Haven't you come back yet?"

Zhou Ji is his personal bodyguard, and also the guard commander of Prince An's Mansion. He only sent Zhou Ji to handle errands when he entered the palace this morning, so he should be back at this time.

Chu Yuezhi's voice sounded exhausted and low-pitched, with a hint of displeasure. The slave knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, so he replied cautiously: "Go back to the lord, the Commander just came back and is waiting outside the door." on."

"Then let him come in and answer me." Chu Yuezhi felt uncomfortable being stuck to his body with pajamas soaked in cold sweat, so he simply took off the pajamas and threw them on the ground, not caring that his body had been ruined With traces of embarrassment, wait for the slaves to go out and get off the bed.

Next to the bed was the official clothes hanger, and there was another hanger for ordinary clothes and pajamas. After putting on his shoes, Chu Yuezhi reached out and grabbed a robe and put it on his shoulders. The door slams behind the house.

Walking out from behind the screen, Chu Yuezhi always felt that the place behind him still had the feeling of being ruthlessly entered and exited by Yu**, which made him very unhappy, and his face became more and more ugly.He walked slowly to the table and sat down on the stool. When he sat down, he was greeted with an unavoidable pain, which made his brows sullen.

Zhou Ji lowered his head, put the pot of herbal tea that he had prepared before on the table, poured the herbal tea into the tea bowl, and held it up with both hands and offered it to Chu Yuezhi.

Chu Yuezhi glanced at Zhou Ji, took the tea bowl and gulped down the herbal tea. The herbal tea didn't taste good, but at least it moistened his parched throat.

This job of serving people should not be done by Zhou Ji, but right now Zhou Ji is the only one who knows that he has something to do with Si Yuanting, the eunuch who holds the seal and is also the admiral of the East Factory, and he is also the only person he can trust in Prince An's mansion. So now Zhou Ji can only do what should be done by domestic slaves.

The eunuch, the chief inspector of ceremonies, is the most powerful position among the twelve prisons, and is known as the "inner minister". According to regulations, the eunuch with palm seal cannot concurrently serve as the admiral of the East Factory, but the regulations are always broken, and Si Yuanting was the one who broke the rules.

"Who did it, did you find out?" Chu Yuezhi's voice was still a little hoarse. He put down the empty tea bowl, propped his elbows on the table to support his forehead, and his loose black hair slid from his shoulders to his chest. The blue and purple mottled on his chest covered most of it.

Although Zhou Ji put down the end plate, he held the long knife around his waist with one hand and the other hand naturally hung by his side, standing upright in front of Chu Yuezhi with his back, but he never dared to look up at Chu Yuezhi, and only looked at him with his eyes. Chu Yue stood on tiptoe, and replied: "Returning to the prince, I found out, as the prince expected, it is Fang Benhe, Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"Heh, Fang Benhe..." Chu Yuezhi closed his eyes and smiled lowly, "Okay, great. Si Yuanting was right. I naively thought that as long as I handed over all the real power in my hand, His Majesty would let you go." Don't want me, but I don't want His Majesty to kill me after all."

Zhou Ji bowed his head and remained silent, he knew that this was not a word he could answer, nor should it be the time for him to speak.

"Zhou Ji, I formally reached an agreement with Si Yuanting last night." Chu Yuezhi looked cold and kept his voice extremely low. Every word he uttered was as cold as frost, "I want He helped me win the throne."

Lifting up his robe and putting it on Chu Yuezhi's knees, Zhou Ji said firmly, "Subordinate, I swear to follow the prince to the death."

He was a soldier who followed Chu Yuezhi to fight in wars, and Chu Yuezhi was the only one who was loyal.In the past few years, beside Chu Yuezhi, he watched the heroes who helped Chu Yuelei ascend to the throne of God one after another be executed for different reasons. He also watched Chu Yuezhi hand over all the real power step by step until the end Handing over all the military power, others only thought that Chu Yuezhi's move was really a bad idea. Since ancient times, no king has been afraid of those who hold military power, but Chu Yuezhi handed over his life-saving talisman so easily.But how do those people know that Chu Yuelei, who has become increasingly suspicious over the years, has tested Chu Yuezhi many times, both openly and secretly. If he hadn't taken the initiative to hand over power, he might not even have a stable life in the past few years.What's more, Chu Yuezhi has never been a character of sitting still and waiting for death. When it is time to retreat, he will definitely fight back. Now, he dare not say that he has foreseen this result, but he is not surprised at all.

If there is anything that surprised him now, it is only that Chu Yuezhi chose Si Yuanting as an ally.You must know that the reason why Si Yuanting was able to concurrently serve as the eunuch of Zhangyin and the admiral of Dongchang was because he was also a first-class hero who helped Chu Yuelei usurp the throne.Back then, it was Si Yuanting who delivered news to Chu Yuelei in the palace. Si Yuanting was a very rich man. At that time, he was already a eunuch of Bingbi. On the surface, he was the former prince of the East Palace, but in fact he had already taken refuge in Chu Yuelei. In the end, Si Yuanting handed over the knife that the former prince of the Eastern Palace killed the first emperor, but unfortunately, the former prince of the Eastern Palace did not know until his death that the eunuch, whom he regarded as a bitch, had been plotting against him.

After the palace banquet last night, he was the one who escorted Chu Yuezhi to the Governor's Mansion, and naturally he was the one who escorted Chu Yuezhi back to Prince An's Mansion. He didn't know how Chu Yuezhi made an agreement with Si Yuanting, but Chu Yuezhi last night He was drugged at a palace banquet, and although he managed to hold on until meeting Si Yuanting, the effects of the drug could not be overwhelmed, and Si Yuanting would include Chu Yuezhi when he collapsed from the effects of the drug. Everyone backed away, but Chu Yuezhi was given a strong aphrodisiac, and the two stayed in that room for several hours. When Chu Yuezhi came out, he staggered and looked pale. Even if he didn't dare to think about it, he knew Chu Yuezhi must have been humiliated by Si Yuanting again.

Although Si Yuanting was an eunuch, he had a handsome appearance, especially a pair of slender red phoenix eyes, which were glamorous and sharp. Some people used to call him a boy and a girl, but there have been rumors inside and outside the palace for many years, saying that although he is inhumane, he is well versed in real estate. The art of the middle, and because of its inhumanity, the mind is distorted abnormally, and the methods are extremely abnormal. Often, after the little eunuch who committed a crime is sent to his room, when he is carried out the next day, he is often covered in bruises, and the place behind him is even more so. He was ravaged and blood flowed like rivers.

Most of the eunuchs in the palace were castrated and entered the palace since childhood, but Si Yuanting was different. He was originally the son of the Minister of Rites at that time. None of the wives and daughters are official slaves.And Si Yuanting was still underage at that time, but for some reason, he was sent to the palace to be castrated as a eunuch as the son of a criminal minister.

He was castrated at the age of 14, and became the most despised eunuch both in the palace and in the eyes of ordinary people from the son of Shangshu. Only I know the pain.Bearing such a painful past, it's no wonder that Si Yuanting has a weird temperament, his temper is unpredictable, and he is so tyrannical in sexual affairs.

It was also in the past two months that Chu Yuezhi started to communicate with Si Yuanting, and in the past month, even though they only met four times in private, not counting last night, every time Chu Yuezhi saw Si Yuanting, , always had difficulty walking and had an ugly face, and when he returned to the mansion, he was not served by anyone, and he bathed alone in the bathroom, and thinking of those rumors about Si Yuanting, no matter how ignorant Zhou Ji was, it was impossible for him not to understand what happened.

He just didn't understand that Chu Yuezhi was a majestic prince who once led troops to war. Si Yuanting teamed up and even agreed to let Si Yuanting be so humiliated.

"Aren't you wondering why I chose Si Yuanting?" The expression on Chu Yuezhi's face faded, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ji who was kneeling on the ground, neither in his expression nor in his tone. Then reveal the joy and anger.

Zhou Ji hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands and said, "This subordinate is dull, so I dare to ask the prince for advice."

Chu Yuezhi smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and poured another bowl of herbal tea for himself, and said slowly: "Si Yuanting is now His Majesty's most trusted person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has power over the government and the public, do you think I am safe now? How many of the guards of the Prince's Mansion are sent by him. He has been an eunuch of two dynasties, and such a person is the best at judging the situation. Although His Majesty favors him now, how do you know that he will not be suspicious of him in the future like he is suspicious of me today? Your Majesty How many people have been killed in these years, he sees it in the same way as I do. I have a brotherly feeling towards His Majesty, and only in these years I have repeatedly retreated in order to protect myself, but he has neither love nor loyalty to His Majesty, all he wants is power , he doesn’t know how to wash his neck and kill, and he won’t wait until he has to resist like me.”

Powerful people are the most capable of planning for themselves, and it is the best policy to plan for the future in advance, and such people are also the easiest to be wooed.

Chu Yuezhi lifted up the bowl of herbal tea in his hand, and stopped before it reached his lips. He narrowed his eyes to see his tired, cold and disgusted eyes reflected on the shaking tea surface, and all kinds of things from last night flooded into his heart again. .

The eunuch is swollen, I will do the opposite, let you know that my eunuch is also very good at attacking!

Open more and ask for some starfish~~

All systems are basically based on the Ming Dynasty, and will be slightly changed depending on the needs of the plot.

It is stipulated that the eunuch of the palm seal cannot concurrently serve as the admiral of the East Factory, but Feng Bao in the Jiajing period in the history of the Ming Dynasty was the eunuch of the palm seal and the admiral of the East Factory. Although it is a special case, it does exist.
