Chapter 208: Weak Palace Maid VS Eunuch Brother (Extra)

Qianqing Palace.

"I feel more and more that I am not feeling well recently." The old and frail Emperor Yan put down the red pen he used to review memorials.

The current Eunuch Yun walked behind him skillfully and began to massage him, saying words of comfort: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking. You are still in your prime, and the affairs inside and outside the court are still depending on you."

"I know my own body." At this moment, Emperor Yan had no airs and was as ordinary as an old man from an ordinary family.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will get better slowly." Eunuch Yun gently massaged him, hurriedly wiped away the tears in his eyes, and felt that aging was a sad thing.

"Don't worry, I will go and arrange a way out for you." Emperor Yan reached out and patted the back of his hand.

In the fifteen years of being an emperor, he watched a little eunuch grow into what he is now, and this feeling is irreplaceable by others.

"Your Majesty, has a plan?" How could Xiao Yunzi not be moved when he heard him say that? Tears rolled down his eyes.

"You are a good child." After the emperor said this softly, he stood up from his seat and walked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, the full moon was hanging high in the night sky. He suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Su Zi once wrote a poem "I wish you a long life, and we can share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart." But he didn't even have a long-lasting person at this time.

"Your Majesty, it's getting darker and the dew is heavier. You should go back and rest.

" Eunuch Yun chased after him with a shawl. "Walk with me." Emperor Yan walked forward, and Eunuch Yun's sharp eyes found that it was the way to Chuxiu Palace.

"Yuan'er's mother went early, and I raised her by myself." Perhaps the night was too dark, Emperor Yan could no longer bear the depression, and all the words hidden in his heart were poured out.

Eunuch Yun followed Emperor Yan slowly with a lantern, making sure to illuminate every step of Emperor Yan's feet.

"Because her mother died early, I have doted on Yuan'er since she was a child, which also made Ying'er develop a character that doesn't like to be bound since she was a child. I thought that she could be willful, and when she was old enough, she would find a disciple among my soldiers or find an ordinary family in this capital. With me as a father, no one would dare to bully her. Who knew that her willfulness would harm her. She and her maid sat in a sedan chair, and she saw the concubines in the palace going out from afar and thought they were very magnificent, so she kept begging me to enter the palace."

Unknowingly, the two had walked to the door of Chuxiu Palace.

"The paint of this palace has faded a little." Emperor Yan sighed.

"Tomorrow I will have someone come to repair it." Eunuch Yun stood behind Emperor Yan and continued to stick to his duties.

"Ever since Yuan'er asked to enter the palace, I knew she would not give up." Emperor Yan looked at the palace where his daughter once lived, as if he saw her shadow.

He still didn't have the courage to step into this palace that he didn't dare to step into fifteen years ago.

"I have been a soldier for half my life, and I have been in the battlefield for more than a dozen times. But because of the military power in my hands, the emperor has never trusted me, and even regarded me as a thorn in his side. How could he not be happy that my Yuan'er wanted to enter the palace. While I was on the front line, he and Yuan'er had already made a fait accompli. Poor my Yuan'er." Emperor Yan wiped the tears from his face and continued, "My Yuan'er thought that the emperor really liked her, and she entered the harem. Her willful temper made her want to be favored by the emperor. But the harem of the emperor's family is all about checks and balances. My Yuan'er is stupid, she doesn't understand at all, and she was calculated like this."

"Alas..." Emperor Yan sighed.

He had long known that things in the world are impermanent, and it is impossible to get everything as you wish. But if he could do it again, he would rather not have the position of emperor, just want to get his daughter back.

"Go back." Emperor Yan took a last look at the Chuxiu Palace.

Half a month later, Emperor Yan caught a cold, and the imperial doctors carefully used medicine to nourish him. Just when everyone in the harem thought he was getting better, he summoned the posthumous son of the deposed emperor, asked Eunuch Yun to read the imperial edict, and died suddenly that night.

Ying'er returned to the familiar harem because her biological son became the emperor.

In the third year of being imprisoned, the deposed emperor vomited blood and passed away on the spot because he knew about her and Ju Heng's scam. For the remaining thirteen years, she worked hard to raise a pair of children. Her original ambition had long been consumed by the day-to-day life of mending. Being able to return here again made her feel that "things have changed".

Even though she is now the first person in the harem, this empty harem can't make her feel happy at all. She just felt that this palace was too big, too empty, and made her too lonely.

The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen was to grant amnesty to the world.

During the days of confinement, he lived like a prisoner. Now that he has regained his freedom, he is grateful and hopes that people all over the world can feel his joy.

Of course, during the days of his confinement, he has been helping his mother with rough work, living a life of hard work in a commoner's family, and can also understand the suffering of ordinary people. He quickly promulgated a new agricultural policy to reduce taxes.

Eunuch Yun, who left the palace, heard the praises of the new emperor from the people, but he couldn't help but miss Emperor Yan.

Many people who don't know Emperor Yan say that Emperor Yan is ambitious and forced the palace to seize the position of the deposed emperor, but they don't know Emperor Yan's real painstaking efforts. Emperor Yan sat on the throne not for the so-called power, but for his daughter who was killed by the deposed emperor. And the new emperor can have the current achievements because Emperor Yan arranged countless good teachers to guide him.

Eunuch Yun, who changed into ordinary people's clothes, put on the bag on his back and got on the carriage.

The coachman whipped the horse's butt hard, and the horse raised its front hoof and ran to the road.

Eunuch Yun lifted the bamboo curtain and looked forward.

The place he was going to was the distant desert. That was the best place arranged for him by Emperor Yan.

After traveling on the road for half a month, he finally arrived at his destination.

Ju Heng and Shi Yi were already waiting for him at the door.

Eunuch Yun saw that his master seemed to have become the little Yunzi again. He jumped off the sedan chair excitedly and trotted over.

While running, he remembered that when his master left the palace, Emperor Yan threatened: "If you leave the palace, I will have someone kill your sister."

But after fifteen years, he still clearly remembered his master's answer at that time.

He remembered his master's firm words: "You won't. You lost your only relative in the world, you won't be so cruel as to make me end up like you."

His master was right.
