He spoke so sincerely that Lu Wan could not help but believe it a little. He also heard him mention the little emperor so much that he asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Having said this, Lu Wan realized the seriousness of the matter. If it wasn't necessary, given the little emperor's character, why would he send someone out of the palace to invite him?
Seeing that the young eunuch wanted to say something, Lu Wan turned around and told Shi Qinghuayi that he was going out for a while, then he walked out the door.
The young eunuch thought he would have to persuade Lu Wan for a long time, but he didn't expect Lu Wan to follow him so easily. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly followed.
On the carriage to the palace, Lu Wan looked at the eunuch with a serious face and asked, "What exactly is going on? Tell me everything."
He hadn't spoken in the mansion before because he was worried about being surrounded by people. Now there were only Lu Wan and the young eunuch in the carriage, so naturally there was nothing to worry about.
With a thud, the young eunuch suddenly knelt down, which startled Lu Wan. He quickly stood up to help him up, "What are you doing? Get up and talk."
Even though Lu Wan tried his best to help him, the little eunuch still did not move.
Something big must have happened.
With this thought in mind, Lu Wan began to regret his previous distrust of the young eunuch.
When Lu Wan was doubting himself, the young eunuch sobbed and said, "It was Eunuch De who had been serving His Majesty personally before. However, Eunuch De has been recuperating these days. He is afraid that his wound will be exposed to the wind and he cannot even go out, so I have to invite you."
Lu Wan knew Eunuch De, he was the little Dezi who was beside the little emperor. However, he was the one who served the little emperor personally, and there were not many people in the palace who could beat him. But every one of them could make Lu Wan's little body tremble.
While Lu Wan was lost in thought, the young eunuch continued talking to himself.
"A few days ago, your Majesty accidentally caught a cold, but he has recovered after taking a few doses of medicine. However, somehow, the Empress Dowager found out about this, and she used the excuse that she didn't serve your Majesty well enough. Not only did she beat the maid who served your Majesty that day, she also beat Eunuch De who concealed the matter."
As a eunuch serving the young emperor, the young eunuch couldn't help but feel the same way when talking about this matter, "But this matter was also ordered by His Majesty, saying that it would not worry the Queen Mother, so he didn't let her know."
Lu Wan listened for a long time, and it was at this moment that she finally understood what had happened in the palace during her absence. She secretly clenched her fists, suppressed her speculations, and asked, "What happened next?"
The young eunuch then put away his sighs and talked about what happened next.
"The maid was beaten to death on the spot. Before the outside was cleaned up, His Majesty happened to see it."
Lu Wan was stunned. "So you all think that His Majesty was frightened?"
The young eunuch looked at Lu Wan in surprise, and with a puzzled look on his face, he clearly wrote a sentence: Isn’t it?
Of course not!
Although Lu Wan had little contact with the young emperor, his two lifetimes of experience in judging people, coupled with the descriptions of him in history books, were enough for Lu Wan to have a comprehensive assessment of the young emperor. He was by no means a person who would be frightened by bloody scenes. On the contrary, the young emperor was determined and ambitious. If he had not been suppressed by the empress dowager for a long time, he would never have been as timid and fearful as he is now.
Of course, these were just Lu Wan's thoughts.
"Let's go to the palace first."
With other thoughts in mind, Lu Wan asked the eunuch to get up and went to the palace with a worried look on his face.
When she arrived at Chaoyuan Hall, there were already palace maids waiting outside. She went in unhindered and saw the little emperor waiting for her with a pale face.
When the little emperor saw Lu Wan, he smiled shyly, "Sister Lu is here? Sit down and talk."
Lu Wan looked the little emperor up and down a few times and felt that there was something very strange about him. When she heard him call her sister, she became even more confused.
Thinking of what the young eunuch had said before, Lu Wan looked at the little emperor worriedly and said, "If you don't want to remember what you saw that day, then forget it."
She was going to comfort the little emperor, but the little emperor shook his head and said, "No, sister, I want to remember it."
As he spoke, he slowly walked up to Lu Wan and said, "Sister, do you remember that time in the dungeon?"
Lu Wan quickly recalled what the little emperor said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Prince Shen and my eldest brother robbing the prison, but they happened to be ambushed by the Queen Mother?"
The little emperor quickly smiled and nodded.
Noticing the little emperor's smile, Lu Wancai realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly changed his words, "What I meant is that the Queen Mother had her own reasons for stopping Prince Shen and my elder brother. It's also their fault for not explaining it clearly to the Queen Mother in advance. No, it's me—"
The more Lu Wan explained, the worse it got, and finally he just stopped talking.
Unexpectedly, her reaction caused the little emperor to chuckle.
He used to think that Lu Wan was very kind to him like an older sister, but now he realized that this sister who was several years older than him also had such a childish side.
She was worried that he would be angry because she said bad things about the Queen Mother, but she forgot that this was not the first time she had done such an rude thing in front of him. Just now, for example, she didn't know how many times she had said the word "I". If it were someone else, they would have been dragged away and beaten.
But today, he has something more important to say.
The little emperor put on a serious look and shook his head at Lu Wan, "Sister Lu, I understand what kind of person the Empress Dowager is better than you do, so don't worry, I'm not angry when you say that."
