Zhao Ji sprinkled the medicine powder in his hand into the fish tank in front of the hall. After a while, the fish in the tank turned over.

"The Queen is such a vicious woman. If I really do what she says and give this medicine to the prince, he will die on the spot..."

"When the time comes, I will be the one caught red-handed and thrown into jail!"

Zhao Ji poured the jar of water onto the ground.

"It seems that we need to think of a way to quickly gain the emperor's trust..."

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Zhao Ji roughly calculated the current situation. If he wanted to protect himself, he had to become a royalist for the time being!

The next day, Zhao Ji got up very early. Now that he was of a special status, naturally there were other eunuchs coming to serve him.

Early in the morning, the official uniforms of the Imperial Household Department were delivered to Zhao Ji's bedroom.

The official uniform was vermilion in color, and the birds of prey embroidered on it looked lifelike. Combined with Zhao Ji's tall stature, it intimidated the eunuchs who were delivering the clothes.

"Your Excellency..."

The young eunuch trembled and didn't even dare to look up at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji didn't bother with the little eunuch. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Lead the way, I want to go to the Imperial Household Department!"

The young eunuch worked diligently and brought Zhao Ji all the way to a magnificent palace.

The plaque hanging on the main entrance of the palace reads "Si Li Jian".

"Eunuch Zhao, we're here!"

The young eunuch looked at the towering house and dared not go in. He stood at the door with his head down.

Logically speaking, the imperial edict appointing Zhao Ji as the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department should have been read out yesterday.

Mao time was also the time when the Imperial Household Department called the roll, but when Zhao Ji listened outside the door, it seemed that there was complete silence inside.

It's as if there is no one there.

"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. I want to see what kind of monster is hiding behind this door!"

Zhao Ji's eyes turned slightly, a sneer appeared on his face, and he reached out and pushed open the door of the Imperial Household Department.

It was already dawn, but it was still pitch black behind the door. It was supposed to be time to report for duty, but not even a light was on.

You can even hear snoring coming from the side room.

Zhao Ji paused slightly, then strode to the side room and kicked the door open.

The young eunuch on duty narrowed his eyes, suddenly jumped up from his bed, and shouted mercilessly: "Which blind bastard is so good at the Silijian!"

If only a few individuals were slacking off, it would be normal. But when a collective strike-like phenomenon like this occurred, Zhao Ji would not simply think that the style of the entire Silijian was not good.

The young eunuch who had just been awakened in bed seemed to be bleary-eyed, but Zhao Ji had already discovered that the young eunuch was looking at him through his fingers.

"Let me see which bastard is sleeping!"

Zhao Ji had a sneer on his lips, and suddenly reached out and slapped the young eunuch at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, he kicked with his foot and hooked with his right hand, dragging the young eunuch directly from the ** to the ground.

One foot stepped hard on the little eunuch's face.

As their bodies came into contact, the little eunuch's inner thoughts reached Zhao Ji's ears word for word.

[What kind of bastard dares to hit me! ]

[This new eunuch who holds the seal has quite a lot of strength in his hands. After this farce, I have to ask Eunuch Li for some compensation, otherwise I will be unworthy of the beating I received! ]

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, thinking carefully in his mind who this eunuch Li was.

However, the young eunuch's thoughts also happened to confirm Zhao Ji's previous guess.

This dark Silijian was probably a gift prepared by someone for his inauguration.

Now that he had obtained the information he wanted, Zhao Ji relied on his superb martial arts skills and knocked the young eunuch unconscious with a single blow of his hand.

He staggered outside.

The room, which was pitch dark just now, is now lit up with lanterns.

For a moment, the place was illuminated as if it were daytime.

Zhao Ji looked up and saw that the door of the Imperial Household Department had been closed at some point, and two rows of people appeared at the entrance.

Everyone was wearing azure blue eunuch uniforms, except for the eunuch standing in front of the crowd, who was wearing maroon clothes.

"Who dares to break into the Imperial Household Department and knock out a civil servant? Come and arrest this thief immediately!"

The eunuch in maroon clothes screamed.

At his command, seven or eight tall eunuchs rushed forward, as if trying to capture Zhao Ji.

It’s a pity that they didn’t have Zhao Ji, who was highly skilled in martial arts, to fight against them. In just a few moves, these seven or eight strong men were trampled under Zhao Ji’s feet.

"You call me a thief, I want to see what kind of person you are!"

As if a gust of wind passed by, the eunuch in maroon clothes felt his neck tighten.

He was unexpectedly captured by Zhao Ji at an extremely fast speed!

The eunuch panicked when he felt the hand on his throat slowly tightening.

Several young eunuchs behind him shouted in shock: "You bold thief, quickly release Eunuch Li!"

"Eunuch Li is a distinguished person. He is the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department! If you hurt him, does that mean you are going to rebel?"

Zhao Ji had heard what Eunuch Li was thinking when he touched his neck.

"He won't really kill me... He definitely wouldn't dare!"

"This palm print is not easy to deal with, but no, I must do what His Highness has told me to do..."

In just a few seconds, Zhao Ji had learned the identity of Eunuch Li through Eunuch Li's thoughts and the information revealed by the eunuch behind him.

Zhao Ji used a little force to pull Eunuch Li in front of him, sneering and saying, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the famous eunuch Eunuch Li from the Imperial Household Department. Was Eunuch Li not on duty yesterday?"

Eunuch Li wanted to open his mouth to answer, but the hand on his throat suddenly tightened, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Zhao Ji left him speechless!

"Didn't any of you do your duty yesterday? Since no one knew that you had a new seal?"

"Discipline is so lax. Can I report to the emperor that no one was on duty at the Imperial Household Department yesterday, and no one kowtowed to thank the emperor for the edict?"

Zhao Ji meant these words very seriously.

The young eunuchs were unable to refute for a moment.

If he admitted that he had not heard the imperial edict, it would confirm what Zhao Ji said about there being no one to do the job.

But if they had heard the imperial edict, they should have kneeled down and kowtowed to the seal at this moment.

After all, everyone should recognize the scarlet handprint clothing on Zhao Ji.

The eunuchs looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Zhao Ji released his hand that was clasped around Eunuch Li's throat: "So Eunuch Li doesn't know that I'm the seal holder? Are you blind?"

The sudden release of the restraints caused such a huge pain and itchiness that Eunuch Li couldn't help coughing.

For a long time, the only sound in the hall was the hoarse cough of Eunuch Li.
