Chapter 32
"Why do you have to see me? It's such a commotion." Prince Benin looked a little impatient. It was because of this little eunuch in front of him that his night of happiness was interrupted.
If the eunuch in front of him could not give any convincing reasons, he would not let him go.
The eunuch in front of him was none other than Eunuch Sun.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for visiting you so late at night. This is such an offense because only I can bring back the person you have been looking for so hard." A gleam of light flashed in Eunuch Sun's eyes.
Benin scoffed, "Is this what I've been searching for so long?"
He had long forgotten the dancer he had asked the prime minister for a few days ago. However, as for women, the more the better for him.
Eunuch Sun looked at Prince Benin's interested expression and felt secretly happy, thinking that it was a good thing he had taken a gamble.
"Yes, Your Majesty, just wait and see."
Prince Benin laughed heartily and promised, "If you can bring her here, I will reward you handsomely."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In his opinion, as long as he could trick Luo Sanrong into coming over, the matter would be settled by then. Even if Luo Sanrong was a favored eunuch beside the prince, the prince would not be able to say anything in front of the envoys. Moreover, he had heard recently that Luo Sanrong seemed to have fallen out of favor!
"It's so late, and a mere eunuch still has to be on duty?" Weidao, who was sitting on the beam, asked nonchalantly.
Luo Sanrong was very confused. She didn't understand why Weidao had to sit on the beam to talk to her. Every time he spoke, Luo Sanrong would tilt his head back. She also asked curiously, but Weidao just replied with two words, "I like it".
"Yes, I just received an order. I probably won't be able to come back all night. You go to sleep first! I'll leave first." Luo Sanrong was also a little helpless, but a higher-ranking official can suppress a lower-ranking official, so Luo Sanrong could not disobey the order.
Luo Sanrong followed closely behind Neiguan Sun. Neiguan Sun walked very fast, and Luo Sanrong had to jog to keep up with him.
"Eunuch Sun, there's no precedent for eunuchs to be on duty at night before. Are they going to start tonight?"
Sun Neiguan said expressionlessly, "Yes, it's a newly established rule. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Luo Sanrong rolled his eyes silently behind Eunuch Sun.
When they reached a room, Eunuch Sun directly pulled Luo Sanrong over and stuffed him in. Luo Sanrong looked bewildered and knocked on the door reflexively, "Eunuch Sun, Eunuch Sun——"
No one answered the door. Luo Sanying curled her lips. She was thinking that Eunuch Sun was taking revenge today because he was heard saying bad things about him last time.
Luo Sanrong finally accepted his fate and thought that he might have to spend the night here. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found someone looking at him with lustful eyes.
This person was none other than Prince Bening. When Luo Sanying looked at Prince Bening, he was frightened to death.
"Come closer!"
Luo Sanrong could only suppress his panic and said, "I'm terrified. I have to go on duty tonight and walked into the wrong room. I'm leaving right away."
The Prince of Benin put his wine glass on the table with a bang, and his voice was emotionless. "That dancer is you!" He said in a tone of affirmation.
Luo Sanrong's legs went limp.
Prince Benin stood up and walked over to Luo Sanrong. "But why did you come to the palace wearing eunuch's clothes?"
Prince Bening approached Luo Sanrong, the smell of alcohol wafting over her face. He caressed her face and said sensually, "Is it a handsome man, or a beautiful woman pretending to be a man?"
Luo Sanrong couldn't help but take a step back.
Prince Benin's hand moved from her face to the back of her neck. Luo Sanrong flinched. Soon his hand continued to move downwards. Luo Sanrong could no longer endure it and pushed Prince Benin away, shouting, "Please don't do this!"
Prince Benin approached Luo Sanrong and warned him fiercely, "You know that whether the prince can achieve his wish depends on me. If you serve me well tonight, I don't mind saying a few good words for your master. Otherwise..."
Prince Benin did not continue speaking, but smart people knew what he meant.
Luo Sanrong's voice was filled with tears as she pushed him hard. Bening was furious and raised his hand without thinking to slap Luo Sanrong in the face. Luo Sanrong was ready to be slapped, but at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open with great force.
Immediately afterwards, the man kicked Benin to the ground. Luo Sanrong was also frightened and stood there blankly.
"It's you?" Benin fell to the ground and said in surprise.
"It's me." Li Yin's expression could not be seen, but his eyes were full of anger.
"Do you know what will happen if you offend this king?"
"Then do you know what will happen if you bully my people in my territory?" Before Prince Benin could answer, Li Yin was about to swing his sword, but was stopped by Tail Knife who followed closely. Tail Knife shook his head and signaled that it was not allowed.
Li Yin tried to break free from Wei Dao's control, but Wei Dao whispered to him, "Your Highness, please be reasonable. This is for His Majesty..."
Weidao's words brought Li Yin back to his senses. Li Yin looked at Benin, who was lying on the ground but still arrogant, and stabbed the sword hard into the ground, and the place where the sword was stabbed was only a millimeter away from his descendants.
Then he pulled Luo Sanrong away, and Benin's cursing was heard from inside the house.
Li Yin pulled Luo Sanrong along as they walked quickly, not saying a word. Finally, they reached a secluded spot. Li Yin shook off Luo Sanrong's hand and said in a voice filled with uncontrollable anger, "Do you even know what that place is? How dare you go in there? Do you have any idea what kind of things are going to happen?"
"I'm sorry, I received an order to go on duty."
"If you feel something is strange, you should run out immediately."
Li Yin bombarded him with a barrage of questions. Luo Sanrong could no longer suppress the grievance in his heart. He cried out, "How can a small eunuch like me disobey someone's orders, let alone an envoy who has come from afar? If I embarrass His Highness..."
"Why would you say such a thing? What's wrong with the envoy? What are you thinking?"
Luo Sanrong didn't say anything, but her tears showed her grievance.
Looking at Luo Sanrong's appearance, Li Yin couldn't bear to continue talking. He put Luo Sanrong's head on his shoulder, and Luo Sanrong cried silently.
"What on earth is making me so angry?"
When Eunuch Ma arrived, he found that the envoy's face was very bad. When he heard the envoy say that he wanted to teach the prince a lesson, he became even more uneasy and quickly told the emperor about the matter.
Originally, His Majesty and the Queen were ready to go to bed, but Eunuch Ma said he had something very important to report, so His Majesty still listened to Eunuch Ma's report.
Eunuch Ma recounted the entire incident in detail. After the emperor listened, his knuckles turned white and he could barely contain his anger. "This rebellious son... How could such a thing happen? What should we do?"
The Queen, with her belly bulging, gently comforted His Majesty, "Perhaps the Crown Prince has some compelling reason! However, Your Highness has such a reckless personality, and I'm always worried that something like this will happen sooner or later. How could you treat an envoy like this?"
After hearing what the Queen said, His Majesty became even more furious. His headache seemed to come back, and his fingers couldn't stop trembling. "Come here, arrest that eunuch and put him in jail..."
Eunuch Ma's kneeling body froze for a moment. He had wanted to tell His Majesty that He could protect the prince, but His Majesty's anger was directed at Luo Sanying. What should he do?
Just as she was about to plead for Luo Sanrong, the queen spoke again, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. I will send the prime minister to the palace immediately."
His Majesty did not speak. He had a splitting headache, and the pain made him want to kill people.
When Eunuch Ma saw that His Majesty's expression was not right, he quickly slipped away while no one was paying attention.
The soldiers sent by His Majesty quickly found the eunuch who was with the prince, and waved to him to arrest him.
Li Yin saw this and asked, "What are you doing?"
The leading soldier clasped his fists and replied, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I have received an order to lock up the eunuch Luo Sanying." His expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Let him go immediately. I will go to see the emperor in person." After saying that, he stepped forward and tried to pull Luo Sanying, who was captured by the soldiers, behind him.
The leading soldier stopped him with his scabbard, "Your Highness, please forgive me. If you do this, it will be hard to say whether Luo Sanrong is dead or alive."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness." The leading guard did not deny it.
Li Yin stopped and looked at Luo Sanrong, who shook his head at Li Yin.
