Chapter 8: Will the sight of the object remind you of Eunuch Yuan?



"Xiao Yuanzi has gone to check the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Queen, please go and make tea for me."

Feng Changye glanced at Zhu Wuhuan and lowered his head to review the memorial.

Zhu Wuhuan was surprised.

As she walked towards the dragon table and picked up the teacup, she complained to the system in her mind.

[Oh my god, he wanted to kill my whole family, and he was so careless as to let me make tea for him! Isn't he afraid that when I go to the back to make tea, I'll poison him and kill him too? He's so careless, no wonder he died suddenly three years later. If not him, who would die suddenly?]

The system also stood on the same side with her, which was rare.

[The host is right. This tyrant's train of thought is indeed somewhat unusual. I don't understand why he summoned you to the Taiji Hall after he promised to imprison you. What's the point of summoning you here?]

"..." Feng Changye lowered his head and listened to that man complaining about him again.

He is calmer than before.

This little bit of complaint has already helped him to calm down.

He thought to himself, what was the point of him specifically calling Zhu Wuhuan here?

Oh, besides seeing the effectiveness of the powerful pills, I also want to take this opportunity to pardon the death penalty for the entire Zhu family...

Now that he has seen the effectiveness of the Dali Pills, it’s time to find a reason to pardon the Zhu family.

Zhu Wuhuan reluctantly walked to Feng Changye's side, picked up the teacup and tray beside him, turned around and prepared to go to the back hall to make tea.

"Bah! You made me kneel before you, and now you're asking me to make tea for you like a slave. Do you, a tyrant, deserve to be served by me?"

She had just taken two steps when her eyes rolled and she had an idea in her mind.

She exerted a little force on the hand holding the teacup!

With a "crack" sound, the teacup broke again!

She pretended to be frightened, turned around and looked at Feng Changye innocently while holding the fragments, like the bad guy complaining first.

"Your Majesty, you really need to have Eunuch Yuan investigate the Imperial Household Department! They are truly audacious! Look! The quality of this batch of teacups is flawed! The very cup you're using is also broken!"

She looked frightened and said this while patting her chest.

"Luckily, this teacup broke in my hand. If it had been a little later, when I had brewed a cup of boiling hot tea for you, Your Majesty, it would have broken while you were holding it. Your invaluable and priceless hands would have been ruined!"

"……"Oh!

Feng Changye gripped the brush tightly and slowly raised his head to look at Zhu Wuhuan.

Facing Zhu Wuhuan's innocent eyes and watching her superb performance, he wanted to put down the pen in his hand and give her a good applause!

That's awesome! Another one of his teacups ruined!

If he had not been able to hear her inner voice, and heard her say with his own ears that he, a tyrant, was not worthy of her service, would he have really been deceived by her and thought that there was something wrong with this batch of teacups?

Just as he thought of this, his eyes suddenly became subtle.

No.

Even if he heard her thoughts, didn't he have to pretend to be deceived by her?

Could he still stand up and point his finger at her nose and say that the cup was of good quality and that she was the one who crushed it?

He couldn't reveal that he had the ability to read minds, so he could only act like a fool along with this damn woman and be deceived by her!

He suppressed the irritability in his heart and composed himself in an instant.

He exerted force with his fingers and with a snap, the brush broke into two pieces!

He looked her in the eyes, his face scowling with anger.

"The Imperial Household Department is truly audacious! If I catch this culprit, I will tear her into pieces and scatter her bones to ashes!"

Zhu Wuhuan felt a slight chill down his spine.

It was strange. The dog tyrant was clearly angry at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so why did she feel a chill?

"Empress." "Your Highness is here."

Zhu Wuhuan looked at Feng Changye intently.

Feng Changye said calmly, "Go make me a cup of cold tea. That audacious bastard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs really pissed me off. I need some cold tea to cool down."

Zhu Wuhuan always felt that the "dog thing" the dog tyrant was calling her was actually her. After all, she was the culprit who broke the teacup...

She bowed and went to the back hall to make tea.

Alas, it seems that I have to brew tea today, there is no way to avoid it!

She followed the palace maid to the back hall.

There are several treasure boxes in the back hall, and on each box are neatly placed beautiful small porcelain jars, which are filled with sealed tea leaves.

At first glance, she saw that the row in front of her was Mengding Shihua, Xishan Bailu, Xianya Shihua, Shenquan Xiaotuan...all of which were teas she had never heard of.

She didn't understand tea and didn't like drinking it, so she took a look and then looked away.

She looked forward to the left again.

Near the window was a small red clay stove with boiling water on it, steam rising from it, always ready to make tea for the dog tyrant.

On the long table next to it, there were a row of small celadon teacups and exquisite small teapots.

Zhu Wuhuan asked the eunuch who was boiling water, "Do you have any brewed herbal tea?"

The young eunuch kowtowed quickly and came over with a pot of cold tea.

"Empress, this is the brewed herbal tea."

"Um."

Zhu Wuhuan nodded and pointed at a small teacup, "Pour a cup."

The young eunuch was dumbfounded.

He glanced at the teapot he was holding, then looked up at Zhu Wuhuan.

Your Majesty, shouldn't you pour tea for the Emperor yourself?

You just stand here and do nothing, letting a small servant like you who boils water pour tea for the emperor?

I am not worthy!

He looked at Zhu Wuhuan, and Zhu Wuhuan also looked at him.

I thought to myself, you are not worthy of pouring tea for the dog tyrant, and the dog tyrant is not worthy of drinking the tea I pour.

"fall."

"..." The young eunuch looked at Zhu Wuhuan silently for a few times, but couldn't persuade the empress, so he could only turn around to wash his already clean hands, and then pour tea.

While pouring tea, I thought -

Alas, the poor Empress must have been deeply disappointed by the Emperor. The servants can all see that she is reluctant to serve him!

But it’s not the Queen’s fault. The Zhu family is full of loyal and brave people. Who among the people doesn’t know that?

Now the whole family has been executed, which would make anyone feel disheartened!

While the young eunuch was pouring tea, Zhu Wuhuan, who was free, looked around the table.

Suddenly, she saw a dagger inlaid with gems under the table.

She was particularly surprised.

"Why is there a dagger here?"

She walked over, picked up the dagger, and played with it, then asked the young eunuch, "This place is close to the Emperor's Taiji Hall, and carrying any weapons shouldn't be allowed..."

The young eunuch poured the tea and covered the cup.

Turning his head and seeing the dagger in Zhu Wuhuan's hand, the young eunuch said respectfully, "To answer the Queen, this is Eunuch Yuan's dagger. The Emperor favors Eunuch Yuan and specially allowed him to carry the dagger for self-defense. He left in a hurry just now and forgot to take it with him."

Zhu Wuhuan frowned as he looked at the dagger, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Without thinking much, she put the dagger back under the table and went to the Tai Chi Hall with the cold tea.

Coming to Feng Changye, she handed him the teacup, and Feng Changye took it.

Feng Changye looked up at her and asked, "Did you see the dagger in the tea room?"

Zhu Wuhuan hummed, "I see. Your Majesty wants it? Then I'll go get it for you."

Eunuch Yuan is not around, so you carry his dagger with you so that you can remember him by looking at it, right?

“…” I really can’t drink this tea.
