Xu Guang fell to his knees with a thud. Putting aside his status as a prince, the Sixth Prince was also the Grand Master of the Imperial Household. How could a small servant like him have the right to refute?
Wu Jing glanced at Xing Bang and said, "Little Bang, how do you do your job? How did you make His Highness drink so much?"
Xing Bang was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Wu Jing said that Xu Guang was the godson of the number one eunuch Cao Gonggong. He immediately understood that Wu Jing must have been pretending to be like this.
Xing Bang stood up immediately. Before he could speak, the Sixth Prince Liu Jing said loudly, "It has nothing to do with the little Bangzi. Your Highness is not drunk. Your Highness wants to promote the little Bangzi..."
Wu Jing knew best the interests involved. Xu Guang was nothing, but he had to be wary of the eunuch Cao behind him. He was the chief eunuch beside the emperor, and at this critical juncture, he could not deal with Xu Guang at will.
"Your Highness, although Eunuch Xu sometimes acts rashly, he is still conscientious and has not made any major mistakes. Please think twice."
When Xu Guang heard Wu Jing pleading for him, he quickly kowtowed and said, "It's all my fault. I made Your Highness angry. Please punish me."
Liu Jing was about to say something when he suddenly burped and looked like he was about to vomit. Wu Jing quickly went over to support him and patted his back, then turned around and said:
"Stop kneeling, and go get His Highness a cup of ginseng tea."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guang hurriedly agreed, stood up and ran out.
"Wu Jing, you are so bold! Why did you let that servant go out before I finished speaking?"
Liu Jing reacted and pushed Wu Jing away, saying angrily.
Wu Jing was not panicked at all, and said softly: "Your Highness, you must not be so reckless. The Queen has ordered me to keep a good eye on Your Highness today."
"You, are using your mother to pressure me again."
"Your Highness, Xu Guang is just a small servant, not worthy of your punishment. Please leave this matter to me, I will definitely satisfy you."
Liu Jing was not at all drunk. When he thought that what Wu Jing said made some sense, he agreed.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Then he turned to Xing Bang and said, "Little Bangzi, I promised to protect you and I will never break my promise. Remember what you promised me."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. The little stick will do his best."
Then, Liu Jing didn't say anything else. He fell on the table with his eyes blurred.
"Little Korean, you are really not simple. You can make the Sixth Prince so happy. Your future is limitless."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. This is all your planning."
At this moment, the Sixth Prince's follower Xiaodouzi ran in hurriedly. A sedan chair was prepared outside, and Xing Bang lent a hand and helped the Sixth Prince onto it.
Xu Guang was sweating as he held the ginseng tea. After the Sixth Prince had walked a long way away, he said with lingering fear: "Eunuch Wu, I will repay your kindness in the future."
Wu Jing waved his hand and said, "Brother Xu, please don't be polite to our family. You have taken good care of our family over the years. This is nothing.
Also, this matter is thanks to the little stick, otherwise the Sixth Prince would not have left like this."
Xu Guang turned to look at Xing Bang, his eyes full of jealousy.
"Little Korean, I won't say anything about my gratitude. We are brothers from now on."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Jing and Xing Bang left the Baoshi Office.
Xu Guang's face changed immediately, and he thought to himself that he had to find his godfather to discuss this matter. This little Korean boy was very much loved by the Sixth Prince, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his position tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
He is not a very ambitious person, he just wants to be a local boss and live a leisurely life guarding the torture chamber.
Thinking of this, Xu Guang immediately called Xiao Jinzi and whispered a few words to him.
…
Shouning Palace.
"My lady, this is what happened."
After the Sixth Prince left, Wu Jing went directly to report the situation to the Queen without hesitation.
Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Eunuch Wu, you have done a good job on this matter. I think the little stick you mentioned is quite interesting. He is a useful talent. If you have the chance, please bring him here for me to take a look."
"Yes, madam."
At this time, the eunuch sent by Empress Xiao came back. He was Li Lianying, the chief eunuch of Shouchun Palace.
"Eunuch Li, why did you take so long to come back?"
Li Lianying saw Wu Jing nodding his head, and then said to Empress Xiao: "Your Majesty, that Eunuch Cao has been accompanying Your Majesty and the Crown Prince in the Imperial Garden. I only met Eunuch Cao after returning to the palace."
"Cao Zhengchun is your majesty's confidant. Even if he has received many precious treasures and jades from me, do you think he would conceal such a big thing for me?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I can't guarantee anything else, but even if Your Majesty doesn't ask, Cao Zhengchun is smart and won't report this to His Majesty. His Majesty is in poor health now and is even more suspicious. If I tell him, he will probably be suspicious...
On the contrary, if he concealed the truth, even if His Majesty knew about it one day, the Sixth Prince is still His Majesty's own son, so he would not be suspected of stirring up trouble, and at most he would just be reprimanded."
Empress Xiao was relieved when she heard this. She sighed and said, "Eunuch Li, Eunuch Wu, I will need you two to help me take care of the Sixth Prince in the future. He is not only my hope, but also your hope!"
"Don't worry, Madam. Regardless of life or death, I will always be loyal to you and His Highness."
Li Lianying and Wu Jing said in unison.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Wu Jing took his leave. After all, he was not nominally a member of the queen's entourage, so he did not dare to stay any longer.
"Eunuch Wu, you don't need to ask me for instructions on the matter at Yeyou Court. You can handle it as you wish. But one thing is, you must not leave any clues behind and cannot let anyone catch any evidence."
"My lady, please rest assured that I will handle this thoroughly."
…
"Brother Bang, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me... I am so embarrassed."
Xing Bang was sitting in the yard doing nothing when Li Xiaowan ran over angrily.
Xing Bang was stunned for a moment, and immediately figured out what was going on. This girl must have come here after asking Nangong Xue for the answer.
"Xiao Wan, what's going on with you? I haven't told you anything."
"You, you clearly knew what was going on, yet you still asked me to go back and ask my mother... You made me so embarrassed!"
Xing Bang smiled, "Why? Did your mother say anything?"
Li Xiaowan blushed, "My mother scolded me for being a shameless girl who told everything to others.
I don't care, it's you who made me so embarrassed, you have to compensate me!"
