Chapter 250: Punishing You for Your Disrespect
"What are you panicking about?" Lu Huaiyang glanced at Ying Qi and said, "I've taught you so many times, you're not steady at all."
Yingqi was so anxious. It was already so late, and he was still talking to him about this!
"Master, this is urgent!" Ying Qi said anxiously, "The group of people we made a deal with at Balipo... have been discovered."
Ying Qi didn't care about Ye Nanyue at the moment. He thought that since this woman was willing to sacrifice her life for her master, it would not be a big deal if she knew something.
As for the little master, a child of four or five years old, what can he understand?
Lu Huaiyang glanced at him: "And then?"
"Master, this... has been discovered. It has been discovered by the Second Prince's men." Ying Qi was extremely anxious.
Lu Huaiyang nodded: "Ying Qi, watch your words."
"Ah?" Ying Qi was stunned and looked at Lu Huaiyang with some surprise.
Lu Huaiyang glanced at him and said, "Who do we have? Those people are all my father's men."
"Ah?!" Ying Qi didn't react again.
Ye Nanyue was listening at the side and was also slightly surprised. She looked at Lu Huaiyang in surprise.
Ying Qi stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time.
Ying Qi still didn't react and looked at Lu Huaiyang coldly, not knowing what to say.
Ye Nanyue shook her head and thought, Lu Huaiyang is indeed the male lead!
I’m afraid that when the Second Prince was assassinated yesterday, he should have reported all the nearby troops to him, just in case.
Otherwise, if this matter is investigated, he will definitely be implicated.
It would be much safer if the emperor was informed in advance.
Even the emperor would believe his words and not care about the high position, but just want to be with his father and mother and fulfill his filial piety.
"Xiao Qi, go eat something first, and then try the acne treatment I made for you."
Ye Nanyan shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, you won't understand it."
Yingqi is a skilled, loyal and smart kid.
But when it comes to the heart and eyes, it's impossible to see.
royal palace.
The emperor had just returned from the morning court and had just arrived in the Yangxin Palace when a young eunuch reported that the second prince wanted to see him.
The emperor rubbed his brows and did not summon him immediately. Instead, he asked Eunuch Su beside him, "How is the situation with the Seventh Master?"
Eunuch Su hurried forward and said respectfully, "The imperial physician came this morning to take your pulse and examine your wounds. Fortunately, they treated you in time, and the poison hasn't spread yet."
"The knife wound is just a superficial one. They said it will heal after some time of rest. Just be careful not to open the wound."
The emperor nodded and said, "He just returned to the capital, and he has suffered a lot."
Eunuch Su observed the Emperor's expression and said tentatively, "Isn't it? This attack on His Highness the Seventh Prince is too harsh. He has suffered so much over the years, and now that he has returned and his status hasn't even been restored, someone is already impatiently taking action."
The emperor's expression gradually darkened. He glanced at Eunuch Su and said, "You've been quite talkative today."
Eunuch Su glanced at the emperor, but saw that the emperor had a dull expression, and for a moment he could not tell whether the emperor was happy or angry.
Eunuch Su swallowed his saliva and said, "I just feel sorry for the Seventh Master. Such a good prince was hurt like this."
"If it weren't for timely treatment, the poison would have affected his mind."
"Even if there's no poison, if the dagger had been a little crooked and pierced the heart, His Highness would have died instantly!"
At this point, the emperor was obviously a little worried and frowned.
Seeing the emperor like this, Eunuch Su continued, "Your Majesty didn't see it. At that time, the Seventh Princess rushed over, and the two poor children were almost injured together. The Seventh Princess cried so miserably..."
"I can't bear to watch this!"
The emperor turned around and gave Eunuch Su a deep look. "Little Su, these words are not meant to be said by you. You know my taboos. How much good has the Seventh Master done to you by being so talkative?"
Eunuch Su's face showed a trace of panic, but he wasn't afraid. He seemed to have made up his mind: "Your Highness didn't give me any benefits. Even if the Emperor blames me for being too talkative, I just can't bear it."
Eunuch Su said this, extending his hand and kneeling before the emperor: "I have followed Your Majesty since I was a child and have never left his side all these years."
"Your Majesty is also aware that during the years you were a hostage in that small, border country, the cold was extremely bitter, and my hands were left with chilblains."
"In these years, I have been back in the palace. Although I am by His Majesty's side, the chores and rough work are done by the eunuchs below, but they are clumsy and weak, and there are many things that I dare not delegate to them."
"My hands are very rough. Sometimes I dare not touch your Majesty's clothes for fear of scratching them."
"The Seventh Princess gave me a hand cream, which I find very useful."
"I serve the Emperor, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, Your Majesty. Many people around Your Majesty give me gold, silver, and jewelry, but I don't dare to accept them. No one has ever really cared about me."
"They all think I'm a eunuch and look down on me. They're just afraid I might talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty."
"Only the Seventh Princess is kind to me from the bottom of her heart and remembers every little thing."
"The Seventh Prince didn't give me any benefits, and I don't want to see the Seventh Princess sad."
"I believe that His Majesty will make a decision for the suffering that His Majesty has endured."
As Eunuch Su spoke, it seemed as if he had really touched upon a sad matter, and tears began to fall.
The emperor glanced at him and said with amusement: "Alright, I'll say a few words to you. You are so frightened and even started crying."
The emperor looked at Eunuch Su's hand and found that the small cracks had indeed healed a lot.
Thinking about it, the things that Ye Nanyue sent into the palace, the things that she presented to him as a filial gift... all of them reflected the child's filial piety.
The seventh brother even sent the people he raised into the palace last night.
Everything his people do, including the business they run, is beneficial to the country and the people, and is not a crime!
The seventh brother has been worn down over the years, and he really just wants to be filial to him and Concubine Cen, right?
Otherwise, how could even his wife be so filial.
For the position of a peasant girl, she begged for favor from me for so many days.
Thinking back to what happened yesterday between the Second Prince and the daughter of the Lin family at the Xie Mansion, he became even more upset.
Eunuch Su looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you no longer suspicious of me?"
The emperor sighed: "You have been with me for so many years, I know who you are."
"Even if you really speak for him, it's because they are a really good couple. Get up. You are old. Your hands are not good, and your knees are not good either."
Eunuch Su stood up, lifted his outer robe, and showed the Emperor what was tied around his knees. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Seventh Princess made a few pairs of knee pads for me."
"They say this thing is called 'Kneeling is Easy', so I dare to wear it."
The emperor looked at the rather delicate kneepad and almost laughed out loud: "Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for disrespect?"
Eunuch Su hurriedly said, "The Seventh Princess said that respect is in the heart, not in actions. My knees are not good. If they are broken, I will not be able to serve the emperor, which is not worth it."
