Chapter 201: Weak Palace Maid VS Eunuch Brother (10)
After Ju Heng successfully aroused Eunuch Wang's vigilance against Concubine Hui, Eunuch Wang began to pay special attention to Concubine Hui. This special attention brought him great benefits. But for his own benefit, he decided to wait and see.
As for Shi Yi, although the emperor did not force her, he always asked her to accompany him in the name of visiting Concubine Hui in Xixiu Palace. Today, after observing that the emperor seemed particularly happy, she specifically requested to go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll. The emperor readily agreed.
Concubine Hui knew that she was going to see her brother, but the emperor's words were golden, and it was impossible for her to disturb his interest when he was in high spirits. She smiled and followed him and said that she wanted to go for a stroll together. The emperor did not shake his head or nod, but Shi Yi looked down on her a few times.
The three of them and their attendants went to the Imperial Garden in a mighty manner.
The little eunuch who had previously informed Ju Heng of the news had now been transferred to his side by Ju Heng and quickly cultivated into his confidant. In order to cut off contact with his past self, the young eunuch specially asked Ju Heng to give him a new name.
Xiao Yunzi only remembered that on the morning when he first arrived at the Qianqing Palace, his master looked at the square sky for a long time before saying the word "cloud". Since then, he has become "Xiao Yunzi".
Xiao Yunzi heard the news that the nobles of Xixiu Palace were going to the Imperial Garden, and hurried to inform his master. Ju Heng was prepared and waited by the flowers. Concubine
Hui was not surprised to see Ju Heng. She had seen their deep brother-sister relationship a long time ago.
But she was particularly curious about what he was holding in his hand covered with a red cloth.
The emperor naturally discovered this strange little eunuch, and because he was in a good mood, he asked a few questions.
Ju Heng knelt down with a tray in his hands and said: "This is the elixir of immortality that Eunuch Wang specially sent people to find for the emperor." Shi
Yi snuggled up to the emperor, with a smile in his eyes.
Since ancient times, whether they were shrewd and ambitious or incompetent and indulged in pleasure, emperors would always be attracted by the word "immortality". Even if they had doubts in their hearts, who could resist the temptation of being the master of the world forever? !
Xiao Yunzi noticed that the emperor's eyebrows were raised, and he knew that the emperor must be tempted. However, he didn't understand why his master had worked so hard to send people to search for such a precious medicine among the people, but instead of keeping it for himself, he presented it to the emperor, and even used the name of Eunuch Wang. If he got it, wouldn't it be that Eunuch Wang would take it all. Besides, if he could really live forever, then no one would be able to harm him forever, and he would have as long as
he wanted. Isn't it wonderful? His doubts would be answered soon.
"Where is Wang Fude?" The emperor could maintain his dignity so that he would not seem to be tempted by this so-called panacea.
When he was very young, he had read the imperial forbidden book, which recorded that his great-grandfather had found such an elixir. However, the great-grandfather, who loved beauty more than the country, gave the elixir to his beloved woman, while he grew old. He remembered that after reading it, he wanted to ask his father whether the record was true, but his father scolded him for being obsessed with things. Since then, he has been repentant and never read the forbidden book again. But the seeds of doubt have always been buried in his heart.
As soon as Eunuch Wang arrived at the imperial garden, he knelt down to the emperor and confessed: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die."
"Wang Fude, do you know why you deserve to die?" The emperor looked at him coldly, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Eunuch Wang specifically asked for help from Ju Heng, who was kneeling with him. Ju Heng saw his eyes and said again: "Eunuch Wang's heart for the emperor is witnessed by heaven and earth."
"Yes, Your Majesty, my heart for you is really witnessed by heaven and earth." Eunuch Wang kowtowed.
"This elixir of life is just folk nonsense. Your Majesty should not be fooled by a few eunuchs." Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
"Why do you say that, my beloved concubine?" The emperor cast his eyes on her.
Concubine Hui picked up the jade pendant on her waist, frowned and said, "If there is really an elixir of life, then the person who takes this medicine will become a monster. Besides, I have read all the poems and books of famous writers, but I have never seen these records in their works."
The emperor said "Oh" and retracted his gaze.
When Concubine Hui first entered the palace, he liked her poetic temperament very much, but Concubine Hui always relied on her high spirits because she read a lot of books, and her words always made him happy. Now she actually regarded things that she had not seen in books as non-existent. It was really too shallow.
"I think it's interesting." Shi Yi's eyes moved and hooked the gold thread on the emperor's bright yellow robe.
The emperor was not annoyed at all when she touched his dragon robe. Instead, he smiled at her and asked, "What do you think is interesting?"
"Your Majesty is the ruler of this world. You should know that everything in the world is not groundless." Shi Yi took the opportunity to provoke Hui Fei and said, "Many things in this world are about fate, just like the Buddhists always say that only "predestined people" can be saved. I think that Concubine Hui has never seen such records in books, so she must have no fate."
It was the first time that Hui Fei was belittled in front of the emperor. She bit her teeth tightly but did not speak again.
She began to question whether her original decision to send Shi Yi to the emperor was right.
"In order to verify whether this medicine is real, Eunuch Wang also sent someone to find the beauty that Emperor Gaozu liked. That look..." Ju Heng saw that all the nobles were silent, so he spoke, but deliberately hesitated.
"What's wrong with that look?" It must be said that Ju Heng successfully aroused the emperor's interest.
Eunuch Wang got Ju Heng's look and immediately said, "She looked like a young girl, a delicate flower. If it weren't for me..."
Realizing that he had spoken too quickly and said the word "I", Eunuch Wang immediately apologized.
"Excuse me, continue." The emperor's eyes exuded a kind of urgency, an urgency for immortality, and a deep desire in his heart.
"The beauty in the Gaozu period was no worse than Concubine Hui. She was so beautiful and there was no sign of aging at all." After saying this, Eunuch Wang slapped himself in the face and apologized again, "I really don't know how to compare it, so I had to use Concubine Hui to talk about it." Concubine
Hui originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but she had already slapped herself in the face to apologize, so she couldn't go too far. Moreover, Eunuch Wang meant to praise her, and she was really happy in her heart.
"Whether this medicine is real or fake, can't we tell it by calling that beauty into the palace?" Shi Yi smiled and knelt down, saying, "I would like to congratulate the emperor on obtaining this holy medicine."
