Shen Ze looked at Lin Yushu, who was teasing him like a pet, and felt extremely sad.
When His Highness treated me so well, just like his husband, I was dismissive and thought that His Highness treated me as a male concubine.
Now His Highness treats me so disrespectfully, even treating me as just a toy.
But even so, it was what he had been striving for.
Lin Yushu looked at Shen Ze's dazed look and said lightly: "Slap your face!"
Shen Ze subconsciously followed her instructions and slapped himself hard on the cheek.
Lin Yushu looked at Chen Ze and said, "After being the Ninth Prince for so long, have you forgotten how to be a servant? How dare you lose focus when I'm talking to you?"
Shen Ze slapped himself fiercely, and explained with his eyes downcast: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die a thousand times!"
Lin Yushu looked down at Chen Ze kneeling on the ground and slapping his face, sneering: "Since the Ninth Prince said he wants to be my dog, then learn how a dog serves its master."
Chen Ze lowered his eyes, looked at the carpet in front of him, and said obediently: "Yes, it's just the Gu worm, does Your Majesty need it?"
Lin Yushu glanced at him and said, "It seems you have a lot to learn. Find me a smart personal eunuch. As for you, just follow and learn from him."
Shen Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yushu. Does His Majesty mean to make him an assistant to this slave?
He suddenly met Lin Yushu's half-smile, and quickly lowered his head, pursed his lips and said nothing.
He can be your Majesty's slave, but how can he be a slave of a slave?
Lin Yushu watched Shen Ze silently resisting him without any surprise.
Shen Ze is a proud person, and now he treats himself like this only because he feels guilty.
Once he feels it's over, he won't be able to listen.
However, what she wanted was not Shen Ze’s guilt.
Lin Yushu looked at Chen Ze. After a long while, she didn't hear the man's answer. She suddenly laughed and said, "Get out!"
The teacup in her hand was swept to the ground and hit Shen Ze, and the sharp broken pieces of porcelain cut his clothes.
The white robe was stained with the color of tea.
Shen Ze lowered his head, his palm resting on the broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, his blood staining the gorgeous carpet: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will obey your command."
He felt the pain in his palms, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his own heart.
He knew that Lin Yushu was warning him that he was just a slave.
The other was also testing his obedience.
If he doesn't obey, then I'm afraid he will have absolutely no contact with Your Majesty.
She won't want a disobedient dog!
Lin Yushu pinched his chin with his fingertips, lowered his eyes to observe his reaction, and sneered: "Chen Ze, remember, it was you who begged to be my dog. You have no right to refuse me. Tomorrow, I want to see your Gu worm."
Chen Ze lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at her holy face, and clenched his hands tightly: "This servant obeys your command."
Lin Yushu shook off Shen Ze's chin and said lightly: "Clean up this place and get out."
-------------------------------------
No one outside the palace knew anything about the mess Lin Yushu and Shen Ze were in.
But at this moment, the lights in the Prime Minister's Mansion were bright.
Prime Minister Qi was still feasting in the middle of the night, naturally not for the sake of happiness. At this moment, he was sitting high in the main seat, smiling at his colleagues below.
When Prime Minister Qi saw that the banquet was almost over, he spoke, "My dear colleagues, I am deeply grateful for your courage to come here today. Please accept my greetings."
The elderly prime minister bowed deeply to everyone and did not raise his body for a long time.
The middle-aged man closest to him quickly helped him up and said, "Prime Minister, what are you talking about? There are treacherous ministers running rampant in the court and outside, and there are hens crowing at dawn in the inner court. We are deeply grateful to the emperor, so why is it that now is the time for us to repay his kindness?"
Prime Minister Qi looked at the man in front of him, his eyes lighting up. "Minister Li is absolutely right. We have been deeply blessed by the late emperor. How could we bear to see his kingdom destroyed?"
Minister Li looked deeply at Prime Minister Qi, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. "But right now, all the princes are in their respective territories, and there's no one among the royal family who is qualified to take the throne. I wonder..."
The imperial family members in the capital city today are not only lacking in people who are qualified to take the throne, but those imperial family members have been treated like pigs by generations of emperors, and now there is not a single emperor who can use them.
Who would place their bets on such a person?
Moreover, the royal family in the capital is now under the supervision of the Jinyiwei. Whoever dares to contact them, who knows whether they will be beheaded in the next moment?
Prime Minister Qi chuckled, "Don't worry, Minister Li. The princes arrived in the capital a few days ago. It just took some effort to quietly bring the people they brought into the capital."
Minister Li stroked his beard and smiled, "Prime Minister, you are truly far-sighted. I admire you."
He turned his gaze towards the ministers sitting below, looking at them one by one. They were all familiar faces...
That's right, how could a group of men tolerate being ridden on by a woman, even if that woman was the emperor's bloodline.
Thinking of this, Minister Li smiled and said, "I wonder which prince has come to the capital. Could you please let us see him? Otherwise, we will feel uneasy."
Prime Minister Qi glanced at Minister Li and smiled mysteriously: "Now those Jinyiwei are staring at us. I can't tell you all this for the time being. There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world..."
He glanced outside the wall, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Soon, he would make a joke of them all, such as the Nine Thousand Year Old Man and the Female Emperor.
After the princes kill them, no matter who ascends the throne, he will have the upper hand, and the Qi family will prosper in the future.
Minister Li naturally knew what Prime Minister Qi was planning. He smiled and said, "I was inconsiderate. I hope Your Excellency will not take it to heart."
Prime Minister Qi smiled. He liked the tactful look of Minister Li.
Otherwise, how could he promote him like this?
He glanced around and said with a smile, "For your safety, I am being so cautious. After all, this matter concerns our lives. I hope you can understand me."
After saying that, he picked up a glass of wine and toasted everyone in the direction where they were sitting.
The banquet lasted until curfew. As soon as it ended, everyone hurried home, fearing that they would be caught by the vicious Jinyiwei.
But there are exceptions, such as Minister Li.
At this moment, he did not go home, but quietly came to a yard.
The yard is not big, it is a very small yard and you can see it at a glance.
There was a table in the middle of the yard, and a man in white clothes was sitting beside the table.
A young man was kneeling next to the man, holding ointment and carefully applying it on the man's knees.
Only then did Minister Li see that the man's knee was bruised and swollen to the point of turning black.
