The men under Liang Zhigong were no different from dogs in reality.

The original owner of this body suffered a great loss and died at his hands. Based on her own historical research, Yun Qing had no good impression of him at all.

Qingque appeared beside Yunqing immediately, watching the eunuchs warily.

The head eunuch smiled and said, "Grand Tutor Li, don't be so nervous. Lord Liang just wants to invite you over for a chat. What could we possibly do to you?"

Yun Qing sneered: "I haven't forgotten how I spent more than a month lying in bed. Could it be that Lord Liang's memory has deteriorated to this extent? Then you might as well abdicate and pass the throne to a more capable person."

Because of their physical disabilities, these eunuchs also think differently from normal people. Rather than pretending to be harmonious now and being betrayed later, they would rather cooperate with Prince Pingjiang, who at least is a member of the royal family, and they share common interests before they break off relations.

"Grand Tutor Li, you have truly wronged us. The traitor who harmed you has already been dealt with by us. Lord Liang is also deeply saddened by this. Why don't we sit down and have a proper talk?"

The old eunuch's cold gaze swept over Qingque imperceptibly, as if he were considering something.

Yun Qing refused: "There's no need for a talk. I'm leaving the palace. Are you all going to stop me?"

Liang Zhigong was a cunning and ruthless man. He knew that he only had one chance to take action against Li Yunqing. If he failed, it would be difficult to plan again. The so-called traitor was just a nice-sounding word; in reality, he was just a scapegoat.

Even though Li Yunqing was isolated and helpless, the Li clan still stood behind her. Using this respectable method to deal with the situation was the best the other party could think of.

Having received the young master's instructions, Qingque was ready to take action, but the old eunuch seemed to have suddenly realized something and waved away the people behind him.

"Grand Tutor, you flatter us. You are the Emperor's teacher, and who would dare to stop you at the foot of the capital? Quickly make way for our Grand Tutor Li!"

The old eunuch's voice gradually became shrill and somewhat grating towards the end. Yun Qing gently shook her head at Qing Que, signaling her to take this opportunity to leave quickly.

Only after the group's figures had gradually disappeared into the distance did the subordinate ask the old eunuch, "Sir, are we just letting them go like that? How are we going to explain this to Lord Liang?"

The old eunuch glanced at him: "Do you think the lord didn't expect this? This trip was just to send us to test him. It seems that this Grand Tutor is indeed as rumored, upright and incorruptible, with the integrity of a scholar. If she doesn't want to talk, then so be it. As long as she doesn't get involved in our affairs with the Prince of Pingjiang, then let her be."

"What kind of trouble can a mere puppet like the young emperor cause?"

...

"A bunch of scoundrels who rely on their master's power, I spit on them."

When Diancui was in the palace, she was timid and hesitant, but once she got into the carriage, she became bolder in front of Yunqing.

Yun Qing glanced at her: "I've already said they're dogs, why get angry with them?"

The historical Liang Zhigong was a man who liked to test people, just as Yun Qing had guessed. They were stopped today only because of this test.

Killing someone in the shadows and assassinating them in person are two completely different concepts. He wouldn't continue to attack Yun Qing in such a short time.

After all, like the Prince of Pingjiang, he didn't take the young emperor seriously at all in the early stages. As long as Yun Qing clearly expressed his stance, he could achieve temporary safety to some extent.
