"That's right." Xiaopeng nodded with a smile.
"As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he solved the drought problem in the capital, as well as the food problem."
"We must serve the emperor well, otherwise we will be sorry for him."
"Yes, yes..." The guards grinned and nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Peng is right..."
After a pause, the guard carrying the food box looked towards the small shed with a smile.
"Let's not delay the shed master from doing his work. It's freezing cold, and it would be better for him to go back and rest early after finishing his work."
I’m so envious. After finishing his work, the old man in the greenhouse can go back to his warm room to rest.
There is no shortage of charcoal in the palace now, and every palace is warm and comfortable.
They could only stand at the door of the imperial prison and feel the cold wind.
If I had known... The guard lowered his eyes and glanced at his crotch. He was startled and immediately gave up the idea.
No, no, no, he would rather stand here in the cold wind than spend his whole life without being able to sleep with a woman.
Whenever he thought of the scene of castration, he felt pain in his balls.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Xiaopengzi smiled slightly and glanced at the food box, "Guards, eat it while it's hot. I'll be out after I finish my job."
"No trouble, no trouble..." The guards smiled and watched the small shed enter the imperial prison.
After seeing the gate of the imperial prison slowly close, the four guards smiled at each other and hurriedly opened the food boxes.
As soon as the food box was opened, the fragrant smell of roast chicken rushed into the noses, making the four people almost drool.
"Hurry, hurry, eat it while it's hot... slurp..."
"I'll tear it. I just washed my hands."
"Hey, there are two roast chickens, half a chicken for each person..."
“…”
The four guards squatted on the ground and pulled out the food boxes one by one, their eyes shining with excitement.
When the new emperor ascended the throne the day before yesterday, he issued a general amnesty and everyone in the palace ate meat.
The meat is so delicious that it makes people want to swallow their tongue.
If you don't eat meat, the pain will pass.
But after touching it once, I couldn’t control myself when I saw the meat again.
Especially those who practice martial arts love to eat meat, and they really can't bear it.
The four of them looked at each other, hissed twice, rolled up their sleeves and reached out for the roast chicken.
Just when their hands were about to touch the roast chicken, a small stone suddenly hit the food box and knocked it away.
The four guards' pupils trembled, and they suddenly jumped up from the ground, drew their swords, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the stone came from.
Before the four guards could question them, they saw a bright yellow figure walking towards them.
The guards were startled and immediately knelt down.
"No thanks!" Chen Yong glanced at the four people indifferently.
The guards paused, then stood up tremblingly, their eyes flickering, and their hands holding the swords couldn't help but scratch them lightly.
It’s over, something big has happened!
The Emperor didn't even let them kneel, is he going to execute them?!
It was their time to do their work, but they were squatting on the ground preparing to eat.
Alas, if it is something sent by others, they will definitely not eat it, after all, they have heavy responsibilities.
But the person who didn't bring food was the emperor's personal eunuch, Peng Gonggong, so they...
Besides, Eunuch Peng is still in the imperial prison, so nothing will happen to him.
If they had known that the emperor would come, they would not have dared to eat it even if the eunuch in the shed had stuffed the roast chicken into their mouths.
Chen Yong looked at the four people trembling, glanced at the food on the ground,
"They dare to eat anything and don't even know how they died."
"Why, am I short of food from you?"
After he ascended the throne, he did not demanding food from the people in the palace.
Especially the guards, who had three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes for every meal.
There's no hope for still craving roast chicken.
If these people really had no bad intentions, he would have just let them poison him to death.
The guards looked at Chen Yong tremblingly, their knees softened, and they couldn't help but kneel down.
"Your Majesty...this...is..."
The six words "sent by the shed master" came to my lips, but I didn't dare to say them out loud.
But don’t let the emperor dislike you and offend the eunuch in the shed because you don’t get to eat the meat.
But without explanation, they don't know what to say.
Chen Yong curled his lips and sneered,
"Why, just because it was delivered from the shed, did that make you let your guard down?"
The guards suddenly looked up at Chen Yong, their hearts skipping a beat.
Oh no, did the emperor deliberately arrange for the eunuch to test them?
Who can stand this?
Chen Yong rolled his eyes at the four of them speechlessly, and said in a deep voice, "What are you imagining? I don't have that much free time."
As he spoke, Chen Yong glanced at the roast chicken on the ground.
"Guard the door...and don't make a sound!"
The guards were stunned for a moment, half opening their mouths but not daring to say "yes", and could only nod vigorously.
After watching Chen Yong gently open the gate of the imperial prison and walk in, the four guards breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and looked at each other with helpless eyes.
Not only did they not get to eat the roast chicken, but... well, I don't know how the emperor will deal with them.
Just as the four guards were walking towards the gate of the imperial prison with dejected looks, ready to stand guard, a series of squeaking sounds were suddenly heard.
The four of them reflexively looked towards the sound.
I saw two skinny mice excitedly surrounding the roast chicken that was bounced to the corner by Emperor Qianhuang, howling loudly.
Seeing the delicious roast chicken being ruined by the rat, the four of them sighed helplessly.
Looking at the appearance of this mouse, you can tell that life in the palace was not easy before.
Before the drought, these mice were fat.
“Squeak~Squeak~”
The mouse squealed excitedly a few times, and suddenly the sound became sharp and piercing.
"squeak------"
The four people who had just turned their heads heard the shrill cry, their hearts trembled, and they looked towards the mouse at the same time.
The mouse, which had just been excitedly buzzing around the roast chicken, was now lying straight on the ground, motionless.
The guards' pupils trembled and their hearts trembled.
“Is it…poisonous?!”
The four of them looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.
At this moment, they reacted instantly.
Eunuch Peng was not sent by Emperor Qianhuang to test them.
This bastard in the small shed must be the deposed emperor's man. He wants to poison them to rescue the deposed emperor.
If Emperor Qianhuang had not arrived in time, they would be the ones lying on the ground.
Thinking of this, the four of them broke out in cold sweats.
Almost....They almost died just now.
I didn't realize that the small shed was so vicious.
The four of them took a deep breath, pursed their lips, and looked at the other food on the ground with fear.
Looking at the roast chicken now, it doesn’t look tempting at all. Even the shiny and burnt chicken skin looks a bit creepy.
