Chapter 995 Lingchi



Liu Jin brought with him thirty palace maids and ten young eunuchs.

Under Liu Jin's arrangement, the lights in the Guangming Hall were lit again.

Five heaters were lit in the hall, and gradually it began to warm up.

Fu Xiaoguan still held Jia Nanxing's hand, and only then did the cold hands show some warmth.

At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan was in a good mood. He was talking to Jia Nanxing about the things that happened in Jinling.

Liu Jin arranged for the palace maid to clean up the bedroom and sent someone to the kitchen.

After he finished all this, he stood behind Fu Xiaoguan and saw that Jia Nanxing's face, which was originally almost deathly gray, gradually showed a hint of blood.

"You said that Jinling has a mild climate. I want to retire there in my lifetime."

"Now Jinling is also part of our Great Xia. When spring comes and the weather warms up, I'll go with you to Jinling. We'll live in the Ding'an Marquis's mansion, and you don't have to think about being a doorman."

"You can fish in Xuanwu Lake while sitting in Taoranting... I tried it, but it wasn't easy. Maybe there were too few fish, so I asked someone to put more in."

"I heard that Tengxi Mountain outside Jinling is covered in blossoms every spring. I'll take you there to see it then... If you can't walk, I'll have the Ministry of Works make you a wheelchair, and I'll push you there."

"Daxia is huge now. Let me tell you, the Chi Le River is also very beautiful. In spring, it's an endless expanse of lush green fields with all kinds of wildflowers in bloom. Oh, and in Ziqi Prefecture, I had people plant lots of lavender, which is also purple... What color do you like?"

There was gradually some color in Jia Nanxing's eyes. He seemed to be looking forward to such a scene, which seemed to be the life he wanted after retirement.

"I like them all. As long as it's the scenery of our Great Xia, I like them all!"

"That's good. We also have Fan State. I've divided Fan State into four regions. I heard there's a very famous Yanxia Lake at the foot of Qingxue Mountain outside Jang Geum Castle. We should go see it. Speaking of which, I have a villa in Jang Geum Castle, but I haven't been there yet. We can stay there for a while."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely stay alive and wait for Your Majesty to take me to see all the places in Daxia."

Fu Xiaoguan finally let go of his anxious heart, and Jia Nanxing's desire to die was finally resolved.

Liu Jin listened in a daze, staring blankly at Fu Xiaoguan's back. The emperor's kindness to Jia Nanxing far exceeded his expectations.

Jia Nanxing is an old servant who has accompanied Your Majesty from Jinling to the present. He even blocked a sword for Your Majesty in the border town. He has long sold his life to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's reward is to provide him with old age and see him to the end of his life!

What kind of kindness is this?!

What kind of friendship is this?!

Liu Jin thought for a long time and felt that his life should be like Jia Nanxing's, accompanying His Majesty to continue growing, sharing His Majesty's worries, and shielding His Majesty from the swords and knives that come in the wind and rain!

A pot of porridge was cooked in the kitchen, and a palace maid brought a bowl over, but it was taken by Fu Xiaoguan.

He used a spoon to stir the porridge, blew on it carefully, and tested the temperature with his lips before putting it into Jia Nanxing's mouth.

He smiled and said, "I don't have a grandfather. Actually, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my grandfather."

When these words were spoken, Liu Jin's eyes widened, and even Bei Wangchuan was surprised.

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven!

He actually recognized Jia Nanxing as his grandfather!

Jia Nanxing did not expect that Fu Xiaoguan had such deep feelings for him. He was extremely moved, but he did not act pretentiously because he knew what kind of person Fu Xiaoguan was.

He ate the porridge with peace of mind. The temperature was just right. He had to eat more, live a good life, and see how prosperous the country of Daxia would become under the rule of His Majesty!

Perhaps Jia Nanxing was too tired, or perhaps his heart was at peace. He ate a full bowl of porridge, talked with Fu Xiaoguan for a while, and then fell asleep in the chair.

Fu Xiaoguan carried him to the warm bed, carefully covered him with a quilt, looked at the peaceful, wrinkled face again, and then walked out.

"Go get Lin... No, bring some guards and have him dragged here."

"You...will all be members of Guangming Palace from now on. As long as Jia Nanxing is safe, you will all live a good life. But if anything happens to Jia Nanxing again...you will all be buried with him!"

This was the first time that Fu Xiaoguan said such inhumane words, which frightened all the palace maids and eunuchs so much that they all knelt in the snow.

"Send someone to call Shui Yunjian tomorrow. I don't need Jia Nanxing to recover his martial arts skills. I just need him to recuperate and live a few more years. Remember that!"

"If Guangming Palace needs anything, you can go to Liu Jin. Guangming Palace's monthly payment... is based on the standards of a noble concubine. If anyone dares to bully him because he's old, don't blame me for being too cold."

Fu Xiaoguan did not ask these palace maids and eunuchs to get up.

He stood in the snow-covered courtyard until Liu Jin and several guards dragged Eunuch Lin in.

Eunuch Lin didn't know what was going on. When he saw this, he suddenly felt despair - Your Majesty, why is he here?

Is that Jia guy dead?

The man surnamed Jia is also a eunuch. Old eunuchs are useless. Shouldn't he be expelled from the palace and left to fend for himself?

"His Majesty……!"

Fu Xiaoguan looked at him with disgust, raised his leg and kicked him, "Bang...!" Eunuch Lin was kicked far away and fell into the snow.

"Tie him up, strip him naked, and tie him to a post outside in the garden. Stuff a towel in his mouth, and then... torture him to death!"

Eunuch Lin was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly climbed up from the snow and even forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...! This servant, this servant deserves death, this servant deserves death... This servant was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Liu Jin went up and kicked Eunuch Lin to the ground. He took out a towel and stuffed it into Eunuch Lin's mouth. He said to the guards, "Tie him up, drag him out and tie him to a pillar. After His Majesty leaves, execute him!"

Eunuch Lin cried "wuwu", yellow and white liquid flowed all over the floor, and then he fainted.

Fu Xiaoguan took Liu Jin and Bei Wangchuan out of Guangming Palace and headed towards Ci'an Palace.

"Liu Jin,"

"The servant is here."

"I never discriminate against anyone, including eunuchs. Jia Nanxing has been incredibly kind to me. From now on, you must be more careful and don't let him suffer any more injustices."

"I will obey your order. I will not let Master Jia suffer any injustice!"

"Well, next year... you will be the Director of the Imperial Household Department and educate all the eunuchs for me!"

This great wealth fell from the sky and landed on the head of the eighteen-year-old Liu Jin. He was a little confused for a moment, and after a long while, he hurriedly thanked the emperor, "Your Majesty, your servant thanks you for your trust!"

"Yes, this is my trust in you, but I want you to understand that once trust is broken... there is no chance to repair it!"

"I understand!"

Fu Xiaoguan didn't say anything else. The anger on his face had disappeared, and he walked into Ci'an Palace with a smile on his face.
