Chapter 319 Surrender
The emperor did not give Song Junyan a chance to continue speaking and simply sent him away with a wave of his hand.
Song Junyan stood outside the palace, turned around and looked at the towering palace walls. At this moment, he felt everything here was extremely unfamiliar.
But, he had known that his father had such a temperament, so he should have been used to it, right?
What else is there to be disappointed about?
But we can’t send secret guards from here, so how can we ensure Lu Xinran’s safety?
Just as he was about to leave the palace with a heavy heart, Eunuch Fu came out from somewhere and bowed to him.
"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, may I have a few words with you?"
Song Junyan's heart was slightly moved, but he nodded slightly without showing any expression.
In a corner of the square, there was no one else around.
Song Junyan looked at Eunuch Fu who was looking around in front of him, and waited patiently for him to speak.
"Your Highness," after hesitating for a long time, Eunuch Fu finally made up his mind and closed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, I entered the palace at the age of seven and it has been nearly fifty years. Since the day I entered the palace, I have never seen my family again.
"So many years have passed, my parents have passed away, and my elder brother also passed away the year before last.
"I have fewer and fewer relatives in this world. I only have a seriously ill brother and nephews and grandchildren back home."
When talking about his family, Uncle Fu's eyes rarely showed longing and pain.
The village was hit by a disaster that year, and every household was left without food. I don’t know how many people starved to death that year.
His mother was originally reluctant to let him become a eunuch, but he had older brothers and younger brothers.
In order to save the family's life, his mother finally chose to abandon him.
He had hated and complained, but the longer he stayed in the palace, the more he missed home.
Even though his parents were no longer with us, and even though the village in his memory must have changed a lot, he still wanted to go back and take a look before he died.
He has had too many regrets in his life, and he doesn't want to be buried with his last regret.
So after struggling for a long time and observing several princes, he decided to join Song Junyan.
Although he didn't know where the many strange things that had happened in the capital over the past year came from, he had been in the palace for a long time and could accept any thing, no matter how strange and unpredictable it was.
He discovered early on that the abnormality was with Lu Xinran, and realized that if he still wanted to fulfill his wish and return to his hometown before his death, he had to surrender as soon as possible.
Let the King of Wei and the Queen of Wei realize that he still has some value as soon as possible.
Thinking this way, he no longer had the hesitation before speaking.
"Your Highness, I only have a few family members I have never met, and I don't know if I will have the chance to see them again.
"I, your old slave, am unwilling to die in the palace like this."
Song Junyan raised his eyebrows, his guess in his mind had become clearer and clearer, but since Eunuch Fu refused to speak more clearly and directly, he could only say a few words to comfort him.
"Eunuch Fu has done his best to serve my father over the years. My father has seen all his hard work and dedication."
Eunuch Fu smiled bitterly, the emperor he served was heartless.
Just like the previous emperor, in their eyes everyone's life is like a toy that can be crushed at any time.
At his age, he would never believe in such unrealistic fantasies.
"Your Highness, I have something important to tell you."
Since he had already decided to choose the person in front of him, he no longer tested her. He moved closer and lowered his voice, then told her the shocking secret that he had kept in his heart for decades.
"Your Highness, what I just said is absolutely true. Please believe it. This Prince Bing Zhen has accumulated a lot of power in the capital over the years. This is the list I know. These people have been bribed by him, and he fantasizes about gaining the title of a follower of the dragon."
Speaking of this so-called merit of following the dragon, Eunuch Fu was very disdainful.
The guy who calls himself the prince is several times more vicious and cruel than the emperor, but they actually believe that they can become successful in the future by following him!
"This man is very cautious. I have tried to track him down several times, but he discovered me every time. And..."
He paused and didn't say what had happened that had made him so frightened and angry, but Song Junyan had already learned the follow-up from Lu Xinran.
He clenched the list in his hand, still wondering why Eunuch Fu chose to surrender to him.
Eunuch Fu was very good at observing people's words and expressions. As soon as he raised his eyebrows, he knew what the man was thinking.
"Your Highness, what I just said is what I really think. My only wish is to go back to my hometown and kowtow to my parents before I die."
Burn some incense for your deceased elder brother as well.
At that time, the eldest brother originally wanted to secretly replace him, so he followed the human traffickers to the capital.
Later, they were discovered by human traffickers, who thought his brother was not smart enough and could not be sold at a good price, so they went back to exchange them.
At that time, his parents had already hugged him and cried.
They are their own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy. They would never be willing to abandon him and send him to be a eunuch unless it was absolutely necessary.
Thinking of what had happened, he quickly turned around and rubbed the corner of his eyes with his sleeve.
"Your Highness, please be kind and have mercy on me. I won't live for many more years."
As he spoke, he was about to kneel down, but Song Junyan stepped forward and held his arm.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Really? You believe such a ridiculous thing?"
Eunuch Fu was a little bit unbelievable. He was prepared to be treated as a madman by Song Junyan, and he was also prepared for the other party to tell the emperor what he had just said.
As a result, he believed him!
"No matter how absurd it is, it's the truth, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, there is nothing false in what I said!"
Eunuch Fu wiped his tears again and looked in the direction of the main hall. "It's been a while since I left. I don't know much about the details. But if Your Highness has any questions, you can come to me. I will tell you everything I know."
He raised his hand and pointed at the list in the other person's hand. "I believe that Your Highness will be able to get useful information from these people. I will go back to serve Your Majesty first."
Song Junyan looked at his back as he hurried away, then lowered his head to look at the note in his hand and laughed in his heart.
I know that no one in this palace is stupid.
This eunuch Fu must have guessed something, so he came to surrender at this time.
He glanced again at the direction the other person had left, then clutched the note tightly and strode away.
Lu Xinran had guessed early on that given the emperor's personality, he would definitely not redeploy the secret guards that he had already recalled.
So when she saw Song Junyan coming back somewhat disappointed, she could still go up to him with a smile and comfort him.
"The emperor is probably busy recuperating and dealing with some major issues right now, so let's not cause him any more trouble."
It's just a security issue, just leave it to the system.
She just wanted to see whether her ruler was reliable or not.
In my mind, the system snorted arrogantly.
Of course it is reliable. If it is not reliable... it will break. It doesn't want to 'die' yet!
