Minister Li knew that these bruises were caused by kneeling for a long time. As a subject, it was inevitable. Why did this gentleman have such bruises on his body?
He didn't dare to think too much and quickly bowed to the man. "Nine Thousand Years Old, there were thirty people attending the Qi family banquet today, five of whom were of the second rank or above. Moreover, I heard that old man mention the prince coming to the capital. I wanted to test which prince it was, but I didn't expect that old thief Qi to be very alert..."
Chen Ze glanced at him, then lowered his head to apply medicine to his palm. "It's okay. Those vassal kings are just a mob. I've already sent people to the Jingji camp to transfer some people to the capital."
Just waiting for those people to come!
He was also afraid that they would not come, otherwise how could he tell Her Majesty that he was a useful servant and was useless in the palace except to please her.
Minister Li was helpless. As expected, Prime Minister Qi could hide the truth from the noble families in the capital, but he definitely could not hide it from the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
This nine thousand year old man is not a kind bodhisattva, but a ferocious beast that chooses who to devour...
I'm afraid that this method won't work if Prime Minister Qi and his men want to deal with him.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to say goodbye. He thought he could make a contribution, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man had already known about it.
Shen Ze looked at Li Shangshu's leaving back, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Minghao came over, holding an exquisite box in his hands. "Nine Thousand Years Old, this is the mother of the White Jade Silkworm. Do you want to take it now?"
Shen Ze was silent for a moment, then glanced at the box and said, "Give it to me."
Minghao didn't understand what was going on with his Nine Thousand Year Old Man. Why did he look so absent-minded?
Chen Ze looked at the box in his hand. This was what he had prepared for the little emperor. After all, as the little emperor grew up, he would gradually want to break away from his control.
But he didn't want to compete with the little emperor in wits and courage, so he just came up with a way to solve the problem once and for all.
He used a poisonous insect to control the little emperor, making it impossible for her to escape his control in her entire life, but she never expected that this poisonous insect would be used on herself.
A sinister idea flashed through his mind. If he used this insect on His Highness, would His Highness...
He would not hurt Her Highness, but only asked her not to abandon him...
Chen Ze looked at the insect in his hand, a complex expression flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he gave up this tempting decision.
Because what he wanted was the favor of His Highness, or rather, the favor of Lin Yushu, not a mindless puppet.
If he wanted a puppet, why did he look at a face exactly like His Highness's for so many years without developing any feelings?
Chen Ze carefully held the box of Gu worms and said to Ming Hao, "Find me a smart eunuch. His Majesty wants a smart and obedient person to serve him personally."
In fact, this person does not have to be a eunuch. After all, eunuchs are used to prevent concubines in the palace from doing anything to offend the emperor.
But Lin Yushu was a woman, so her concubine could only be a man.
But this is out of Chen Ze's selfishness. Given the current situation between him and His Majesty, he doesn't know whether His Majesty will take a concubine in the future.
In front of His Majesty, he is nothing more than a slave, a dog, and a useful knife.
He had no reason or qualifications to stop it.
But he didn't want the precedent to come from him.
Minghao didn't know what Shen Ze was thinking, but he quickly brought the person Shen Ze wanted.
Shen Ze looked at the person who came. He was a very handsome man. "What's your name?"
The young eunuch knelt on the ground, looked up at Shen Ze and said, "Your Highness, my name is Wang Mingyi, and I am already nineteen years old."
Chen Ze lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Mingyi, a gleam in his eyes: "From now on, you will serve His Majesty personally and be the chief steward beside His Majesty."
Wang Mingyi was a little hesitant. Everyone knew that Qin Mu had been killed by His Majesty. He was the Nine Thousand Year Old Man. If His Majesty couldn't kill the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, could he not kill him?
Chen Ze saw through his thoughts and pursed his lips and said, "When you are with His Majesty from now on, you will obey His Majesty in everything. His Majesty is your master. Do you understand?"
Wang Mingyi certainly understood what Shen Ze meant. From now on, even if it was an order from the Nine Thousand Year Old, he could not go beyond His Majesty's authority.
If that were the case, he would just need to be loyal to His Majesty and there would be no need for him to be the eyes of the Nine Thousand Year Old Emperor.
Wang Mingyi knelt on the ground and said, "I understand."
Wang Mingyi was not stupid. After hearing what the Ninth Prince said, he knew that something must have happened between His Majesty and the Ninth Prince.
Maybe the Ninth Prince has already surrendered to His Majesty...
Otherwise, how could the Ninth Prince say that His Majesty's orders were higher than his orders?
Wang Mingyi didn't know that soon he would not only be a powerful eunuch beside the emperor, but even the Nine Thousand Year Old Emperor would have to rely on him for his livelihood.
Shen Ze looked at Wang Mingyi bitterly, knowing that this person would soon surpass him, but he still didn't say anything, just stood up and said, "Let's go."
Wang Mingyi hurriedly followed Shen Ze into a simple carriage without any markings.
The carriage swayed all the way until it reached a small gate in the imperial palace. The young eunuch driving the carriage said to the inside of the carriage, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang, we have arrived."
Shen Ze glanced at Wang Mingyi, resisted the urge to kill Wang Mingyi, and took him in through the small door of the palace.
After entering the palace, those who were not royal family members could only walk on their own two legs. Originally, Chen Ze would not care about the rules.
Normally, Shen Ze would not care about these things, but now, he dared not.
Even though His Majesty might not know, he didn't dare let Lin Yushu know, nor did he dare to gamble.
Chen Ze walked slowly, and Wang Mingyi followed nervously behind. He always felt that this Ninth Thousand Year Old Man wanted to kill him, but for some reason he didn't do it.
But he didn't dare to provoke him again.
Wang Mingyi looked at Chen Ze walking in front with a lantern, and quickly ran to the front, wanting to take the lantern from Chen Ze's hand: "Nine Thousand Years Old, how can I trouble you with such rough work? I can do it myself..."
Chen Ze avoided his hand and said, "I am just a servant, no matter how noble I am, if you stay with His Majesty, I might even address you as Eunuch Wang in the future..."
He walked slowly in front. He knew that if he didn't want that person to humiliate him and make him a slave, he just had to use the power in his hands to make that person dependent on him.
He could imprison her, or even use the power in his hands to drive her off the throne and make her his own queen.
But Shen Ze didn't dare. As soon as he thought about it, a voice told him, no!
