Chapter 144: One month later, Fu An will die at the hands of Fu Lai
[Don't be fooled by his attentive, tactful, and likable appearance. He doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives.]
[In fact, they are all pretending, just to get promoted. ]
【Those who thought he was good were all deceived by him. 】
The Empress Dowager, Emperor Zhaoning, Concubine Li, and several princes who were close to Jiujiu were all shocked when they heard Jiujiu's thoughts.
This Fu Lai is really well hidden!
The group looked at Fulai warily.
The Fourteenth Prince, who had some grudges against Jiujiu, also heard Jiujiu's thoughts. This was the first time he heard it.
He didn't have much interaction with Jiujiu before, so he had never heard of it.
Jiujiu expressed her true feelings at banquets many times, but because he didn't like attending banquets, even if he came, he just showed his face and went out to play with his friends. No one heard him.
This is the first time I heard it.
He was incredulous.
He could actually hear Feng Jiujiu’s thoughts?
Besides, what is Feng Jiujiu talking about?
The Fourteenth Prince originally wanted to go out to find his bad friends, but because of Jiujiu's thoughts, he did not go out. Instead, he stayed and continued to listen with his ears pricked up.
Jiujiu counted on his fingers and started mumbling again.
[Calculated, in about a month, Fuan will die at the hands of Fulai.]
【Then Fulai will gradually replace Fuan and become the most important eunuch in Western Chu.】
Fulai had no idea what Jiujiu was thinking. At this moment, he was kneeling at Jiujiu's feet attentively, helping Jiujiu watch the gifts and protecting Jiujiu without blinking.
Fuan nodded with satisfaction beside him. He was indeed a good son. He was thorough and meticulous in his work. He felt relieved.
Emperor Zhaoning looked at Fu'an and Fulai with strange eyes.
Recently, Fu'an has been doting on his godson Fulai, but one can never tell a person's true heart from his appearance. He probably could not have imagined that he would die at the hands of Fulai in the future.
Fu An noticed Emperor Zhaoning's gaze and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"
Emperor Zhaoning said: "This Fulai! Banish him from the palace."
Since he heard Jiujiu's thoughts and knew that Fulai would kill Fuan and bring harm to Xichu, he should solve the problem immediately.
Otherwise, a thousand-mile long dike will be destroyed by a single ant hole.
A poisonous insect can harm the entire Western Chu.
Xichu is getting better little by little now, and poisonous insects must not appear again.
Fu An didn't know the Emperor Zhaoning's long-term plan, and he just felt puzzled. He knelt down in confusion and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you expel Fu Lai from the palace for no reason?"
"If the emperor is dissatisfied with Fulai, then punish me."
"I am Fulai's godfather. If a son is not well-disciplined, it is the fault of the father. I am willing to take the punishment for him."
Fulai was so frightened that he knelt down before Emperor Zhaoning and said, "Your Majesty, please don't drive me out of the palace! I will do my job well."
[He will do his job well, and then become the most powerful eunuch in Western Chu, causing chaos in the internal affairs of Western Chu, and causing the demise of Western Chu.]
[Since my cheap dad wants to kick him out, just kick him out immediately. Don't hesitate, and don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance.]
[Otherwise, the entire Western Chu will suffer. ]
Emperor Zhaoning would certainly not be deceived. What Jiujiu said in her heart was definitely correct, and he would listen to Jiujiu.
"Drive him out!" Emperor Zhaoning did not explain much, but just said, "Fu'an, this Fulai is not a good person, don't be fooled by him..."
“…”
Fuan didn't know what to say.
The Emperor will never make mistakes when judging people.
He believed that the emperor was a wise man.
But, Fulai is his godson after all. He is so devoted and caring towards his godfather. How bad can he be?
Fu'an thought so in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey Emperor Zhaoning. He was afraid of angering Emperor Zhaoning and Fulai's fate would be even worse.
He also didn't want Fulai to be expelled from the palace.
In the end, he did not plead for Fu Lai anymore, but acquiesced to the decision. Then, he chased after him in the name of saying goodbye and wanting to say a few words to Fu Lai.
Emperor Zhaoning did not refuse.
As soon as Fu'an came out of Delin Hall, he chased after Fulai's men.
"Get out of the way, you guys, you're so rough and crude, you're hurting our godson."
"He is our most beloved son."
Several young eunuchs were driven aside.
Fu An dragged Fu Lai to a deserted place, and risking his head, he said to Fu Lai: "Don't worry, my son. I won't drive you out of the palace. I will keep you by my side for now, and you can live in my yard."
"The people there are all my father's confidants. They will not reveal your whereabouts."
"Let's wait for a few days. When the emperor is in a better mood, dad will plead for you and let you serve in front of the emperor."
"You are reliable and sensible. Dad will not let you be buried."
"Thank you, godfather. My son can only rely on you now."
Fulai pretended to be moved, wiped his tears and hugged Fuan tightly. In fact, his eyes were full of cruelty, anger, indifference and murderous intent.
Dead eunuch.
I've called you godfather for so long.
If you really wanted to plead for me, you would have pleaded for me just now. What you said about the future is all lies. Liar, liar.
I won't believe you.
Sooner or later, I will kill you and replace you as the number one eunuch in the palace.
Becoming the top eunuch in the palace has been Fulai's ambition since he entered the palace.
He must make a name for himself.
"Okay." Fu An saw that the time was almost up, patted Fu Lai on the back, and said, "Good son, go to your godfather now and say you are going to pack your things. Godfather will take care of the rest for you."
"Yes, godfather, my son is gone."
Fu Lai is gone.
Fuan made some arrangements before going back.
Emperor Zhaoning saw him coming back, his eyes were still red, he sighed and said: "Fu'an, you have been with me for many years, my decision will not harm you."
"Your Majesty, I understand." Fu'an knew that Emperor Zhaoning was doing this for his own good. However, his son was too good and he really couldn't bear to part with him.
It's useless what others say.
He must keep his son.
"It's good that you understand." Emperor Zhaoning confirmed again: "Has the person been expelled?"
"They have been expelled. The people below have already done it. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"That's good."
Jiujiu looked doubtful: Was he really expelled?
Jiujiu often stayed beside Emperor Zhaoning, and spent a lot of time with Fu'an. As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly, Jiujiu observed a small habit of Fu'an, that is, when Fu'an lied or was nervous, his thumb would involuntarily pinch the whisk in his arms.
Fuan was pinching the whisk in his arms at this moment, and he was probably lying.
Combined with the situation in the book, Fu'an has always protected Fulai and truly treats Fulai as his own son.
I'm afraid that Fulai, this great disaster, was not expelled from the palace.
Jiujiu whispered a few words to Aunt Gui and asked her to find out.
As soon as Nanny Gui left, the prince came back.
The prince also brought Jiujiu a very special birthday gift.
What's the birthday present?
