Chapter 620 A Little Proud
Xuan Huang looked at him, "Do you have some dislike for Yue'er and Xi'er? Or do you think they have offended the Crown Prince and deserve immediate execution? Execute first and report later?"
Eunuch Si was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kowtowed heavily, "I dare not! I absolutely dare not!"
"Si Du, why have you been so restless lately? Is it because the Inner Guards are too worried? Are you too tired? Or is it because you haven't recovered from the cold you caught last time?"
Eunuch Si knelt for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. My physical fitness is indeed much worse than before. The sequelae of the cold and the failure of my cultivation method have caused me to get hurt by a wild animal today. I am ashamed. I am no longer worthy of being the head of the Inner Guard. I beg Your Majesty to send someone else to replace me. I am willing to reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors."
Xuan Huang then looked at his injured arm and asked, "Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"
"I've checked it out, nothing serious."
Emperor Xuan sighed, "I was counting on you to lead the Inner Guards and wipe out the remnants of the Hundred Flowers Tower as soon as possible, but you're in this state now. In the previous dynasty, the Hundred Flowers Tower was rampant, but was suppressed by my father and handed over to me. I didn't expect the Hundred Flowers Tower to rise again, and it has become such a disaster. If I leave, I will be too ashamed to face my ancestors..."
"I have failed to live up to the emperor's high hopes. The remnants of Baihua Tower are too cunning. They even dared to attack the eldest princess. There must be an extraordinary force behind them. This old servant has been searching for the whereabouts of the snake girl. Your Majesty, don't be anxious. One day, the truth will be revealed. The evil villain will not be rampant for long. If the emperor can do it, your Majesty can do it too. Although this old servant is useless, we in Da'an Kingdom still have many young talents with special abilities. They will definitely be able to eliminate them for Your Majesty!" Eunuch Si vowed.
Xuan Huang said, "How is the prince?"
He was too lazy to look, and subconsciously resisted when he thought of the prince.
An oral order was passed to put him in solitary confinement.
Eunuch Si quickly replied, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is confined to reflect on his mistakes and has taken the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Physician. However, the wound in His Royal Highness's mouth will take several days to heal."
Xuan Huang uttered another "oh" and felt tired.
Let Eunuch Si go down and let him reflect on himself for a few days.
"Put aside the affairs of the Inner Guards for a while and rest and recuperate. If you can't rest, find a good room in the Heavenly Prison and live there for a few years..."
Eunuch Si...
"This old servant will stay calm, Your Majesty, rest assured."
"Really? That's fine! Go down."
Xuan Huang's eyes were cold and emotionless.
Eunuch Si went out again in great fear and trepidation.
After Eunuch Si left, Emperor Xuan thought it was inappropriate and summoned the commander of the Imperial Guards to the Imperial Study.
Some instructions.
The commander of the Royal Guards took the order and left.
…
Inside the East Palace.
The prince has already rested.
The queen sat beside him on the bed and took care of him.
A young eunuch came in hurriedly.
He reported quietly, "Empress, the Emperor has summoned the commander of the Imperial Guards to the palace and ordered them to send more guards to protect Prince Xiaoxiang's mansion..."
Before, the Imperial Guards sent dozens of elites to protect Prince Xiaoxiang and his men as they returned home. Now they have returned to the capital early, and those elites did not return with them in time. Why are they sending them again now?
The Queen pursed her lips slightly, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "The Emperor truly values Prince Xiaoxiang and his men. Our Crown Prince didn't even glance at us, sending people to verbally reprimand and slap them on the palm. Yet, Prince Xiaoxiang's mansion sent people to protect them. What's going on? Are they afraid that I might send someone to harm them tonight?"
The young eunuch didn't dare to speak up.
The Queen Mother waved her hand gently and said, "Go and ask Eunuch Si to come over."
Xiao Tailin replied: "The emperor has put eunuch Si under house arrest to let him calm down..."
The Queen was upset. "Just go ahead and tell him. He has his own way. Why are you nagging me?"
The young eunuch didn't dare to say anything more and ran out to pass on the message.
***
Eunuch Si was meditating and resting in his room.
After hearing the eunuch's report outside, the commander of the Imperial Guards entered the palace and immediately led a team of Imperial Guards to Prince Xiang's mansion...
He still didn't move.
After a while, "It's time for the Emperor to rest. He must take medicine before he rests. I can't go out. Go and help him take the medicine. Otherwise, he won't sleep well at night and will have a headache the next day..."
The young eunuch agreed.
Backed off.
***
Not long after, Dabao and Erbao returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
The War King came over.
They returned home last night, and before entering the palace in the morning, they went to pay a visit to King Zhan, but King Zhan was not at home because of something.
Dabao anticipated that Prince Zhan had heard about their affairs in the palace. After greeting Prince Zhan, he said in advance, "It's okay, Grandpa. My second brother was slapped by Eunuch Si a little hard, which gave him some illusions. But it's not a big deal. The Emperor has also upheld justice for us, and my second brother has fought back. He's had enough."
The War King smiled, "I know."
He looked at Erbao, "How do you feel?"
Erbao replied, "I feel pretty good. It was buzzing all the time before, but now it's much better. Grandpa, that Eunuch Si, the master of the inner palace, isn't that great either. They say he's the most powerful in the inner guards, but he couldn't kill me with one slap, hehe. Later, I slapped him over twenty times, and his face was swollen, just as much as mine."
Speaking of which, I feel a little proud.
He is a child.
And Eunuch Si is a well-known master of the palace.
Even if Eunuch Si didn't dare to fight back and let him hit him in the face, he still made it swollen, right?
The War King smiled and touched his head.
"That's because your martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds after the blessing spell, and Eunuch Si's martial arts may have regressed too much. I have sparred with Eunuch Si before. His martial arts are mainly feminine, but his strength is also very strong and should not be underestimated. Or maybe Eunuch Si held back on you, and later when you hit him, he didn't use his internal energy to resist, so his face swollen on purpose for Xuan Huang to see. Don't underestimate the enemy."
Erbao looked educated, "Okay, Grandpa, I get it. But, Eunuch Si probably didn't hold back on me. I even felt like he had murderous intentions towards my brother and me. I don't know why, but how did we get in his way? I tripped the Crown Prince, but I didn't hit him, so why would he want to kill us? It's like he wants to kill first and ask for your permission later. If you don't believe me, ask my brother. He's sure he can sense it too..."
Dabao said seriously, "Xuan Yue, don't make malicious assumptions about others. Eunuch Si shouldn't be that kind of person. Eunuch Si is an old guard who serves as the emperor's personal guard. The emperor has been so kind to us, so how could someone close to him have murderous intentions towards us? This is clearly contradictory. Don't stir up trouble. What's happened is over. We can't add to the emperor's worries."
The War King looked at Dabao deeply and laughed a little.
This lawsuit is quite circuitous.
000 will update three chapters next week to make up for the missed chapters.
