Fortunately, the emperor treated him well, but he had to demote him due to the court officials. Later, he asked someone to send him silver notes, but he had no power and no skills, so the silver notes were stolen before he could even hold them in his arms.
To make matters worse, he was already poor and unable to take care of himself. One day, he met the hairless mage from Pixia Temple. The hairless mage wanted to throw the dying Zhao Yao into a mass grave... No one knew who was so cruel, but a big hole was stabbed in Zhao Yao's chest by a knife, but fortunately, Zhao Yao's heart was on the other side, giving her a chance to survive.
Zhao Yao is his daughter and his last relative.
He was stabbed in the back by the Queen Mother and was filled with resentment. He secretly swore in his heart that if he were a parent, he would be selfless and have no regrets, and would give everything for his children, unlike the Queen Mother who was so cruel and ruthless!
When he saw Zhao Yao, his pent-up emotions seemed to have found a place to vent. He wanted to give his daughter all the family affection and love he had never received. He believed that his love could melt the ice and snow in Zhao Yao's heart. He didn't want her to have only hatred for Zhao Ying in her future life. She shouldn't hate Zhao Ying. In fact, he didn't hate Zhao Ying either. On the contrary, he admired her very much.
It was precisely because of his admiration that he did those things, which were more of a provocation and challenge.
Although he ended up in a miserable defeat, he did not regret it and he felt very comfortable. If possible, who would be willing to hide their edge every day and let it fall into darkness and never see the light of day?
He taught Zhao Ying a lesson!
However, when he mentioned her life story to Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao did not believe him. Instead, she mocked him for being deceived by Concubine Shu for so many years and actually thinking that she was his biological daughter...
He felt sorry for her serious illness and couldn't bear to upset her, so he just let her be.
He thought that he didn't have much time left to indulge her, as he didn't know how long she could survive her injuries.
If Zhao Yao died, he would be left alone again, with no idea where to return to...
In fact, he felt a little regretful. If he had insisted a little more and kept Concubine Shu, Zhao Yao would have grown up under his care, and would not have been suppressed by Zhao Ying everywhere. He became jealous, and ended up hurting himself by hurting others, and ended up in this situation.
Zhao Bing was sitting there when the door was suddenly kicked open and the torches at the door illuminated the dark night.
Zhao Bing was wondering when someone came in from the door. When he saw the person's face, Zhao Bing was slightly startled.
…
Hall of Light.
"Xiao Shuzi, follow me out of the palace to attend the banquet..."
Shangguan Shu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Your Highness, this is already the eighth banquet you've attended in these days..."
Shangguan Shu gritted his teeth as he spoke.
He went to as many events as Zhao Ying attended.
Now everyone in the court knows that Shangguan Shu made Zhao Ying a eunuch...
When his father found out, he was so ashamed that he drove a carriage to Putuo Mountain to worship Buddha at night.
Zhao Ying said as a matter of course, "It's because I've eaten at too many banquets. Today's banquet is hosted by me as a return invitation. It's in my residence outside the palace." Zhao Ying said with a bright smile, "Have you never been to Princess Chengqian's residence? Don't worry, I'll take you there right away!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
The family of seven packed up and went to Princess Chengqian's mansion.
After Zhao Ying's divorce, Emperor Jianxi sent people to repair it. It has been completed now. It is so magnificent with carved beams and painted rafters that it is no less magnificent than the imperial palace.
Several children were busy admiring it and couldn't take their eyes off it. Shangguan Shu took a closer look and couldn't help but criticize it in his heart. Emperor Jianxi was obviously rich but he was pretending to be poor...
The next second, Zhao Ying pointed at the glazed tiles on the beam and said, "Look, aren't these tiles beautiful?"
Shangguan Shu nodded in response.
Zhao Ying chuckled, "I paid for it with your money!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
"And these white marble floor tiles, these pillars..." Zhao Ying couldn't help but tut a few times. "Hey, have you ever had the trouble of having too much money to spend?"
"Honestly, if I knew I could get rich by divorcing you, I couldn't wait fourteen years..."
Shangguan Shu: ...
When there were more people around, Shangguan Shu became less talkative, with a stiff face and blank eyes.
Today is Princess Chengqian's housewarming party. Everyone is here, and they are all acquaintances. Zhao Ying is so mean that he even invited Shangguan Zhu and Shangguan Dan to come and let them see with their own eyes that their respected elder brother is "humiliated" in public.
Zhao Ying gave a speech at the main seat, and Shangguan Shu stood behind her, serving her.
The people below didn't dare to look at Shangguan Shu. They just stared at Zhao Ying without moving an inch.
Many of the visitors were members of Shangguan Shu's rebellious group. Seeing this strange scene, they shook their heads in disbelief.
The same is true for Shangguan Zhu and Shangguan Dan.
Shangguan Zhu picked up the wine cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking back, the three brothers were full of vigor and vitality, but now... one became a eunuch, one became a commoner infected with syphilis, and one was possessed by a pig demon and became a person with intermittent mental disorder.
How sad!
Shangguan Zhu's sadness is not only due to this, but also due to other things.
Seeing Shangguan Shu relying on a self-torture scheme to return to Zhao Ying's side, even if he was just a lowly eunuch, at least he was close to her and had the upper hand. Unlike him, not only did he not make any progress, he even got the embarrassing syphilis...
How could such a noble person as Princess Chengqian accept a man infected with syphilis?
Seeing Shangguan Zhu drinking one glass after another, Shangguan Dan thought that Shangguan Zhu was worried about Shangguan Shu. He raised his hand to stop Shangguan Zhu and advised, "Second brother, think about it! In my opinion, eldest brother is really in love with eldest sister-in-law. He even gave up his life for her. I never expected it... Since eldest brother loves eldest sister-in-law, then what he loves is what we love, and what he protects is what we have to protect..."
Shangguan Zhu thought to himself that the person he loved was indeed the person he loved, but it was not the person Shangguan Dan thought.
