It takes a eunuch to remind you of something so common sense.
Shang Dongyang was immediately embarrassed. He beckoned to Xiao Luzi, and when Xiao Luzi came to his side, he kicked him to the ground and said viciously, "Didn't I know I had to write an imperial edict? I just wanted to test you. Did I need you to remind me? Do you think a eunuch like you wants to be emperor?!"
"Your Majesty, I am terrified! I deserve to die!" Xiao Luzi immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
I'm absolutely blown away!
In the past, it was a great joy to become the personal eunuch of a new emperor.
That life was one of unparalleled glory and triumph.
But when it came to him,
This is absolutely a catastrophe that could strike at any moment!
Shang Dongyang didn't bother arguing with Xiao Luzi. In his eyes, these eunuchs weren't worth his time.
However, Xiao Luzi was the most clever of the eunuchs he had replaced in the past few days. If he were to behead him and replace him with someone else, it was unlikely that anyone would be as easy to use as Xiao Luzi.
He picked up his imperial brush and wrote a domineering imperial edict with a few swift strokes.
Shang Dongyang stamped the imperial seal and his personal seal heavily again, then threw the imperial seal at the little boy kneeling below, who was still trembling and crying, and said, "Get out!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life. This servant will take his leave." Xiao Luzi quickly took the imperial edict and retreated.
Eight days later, Shang Dongyang's imperial edict arrived in Sangguan City, Cangzhou.
However, the scouts who delivered the imperial edict waited in Sangguan City for another eight days before finally meeting Shang Xiye.
It was only because the prefect of Sangguan saw how pitiful he was and sympathized with the innocent lives of his nine generations of relatives that he asked someone to send a message to Wei Shu, who then went on to inform Shang Xiye.
When the scout saw Shang Xiye, he finally couldn't hold back his tears and burst into sobs: "Thank you for your mercy, Ninth Prince, for granting me an audience!"
Shang Xiye: "..."
I feel sorry for this little scout.
But when he unfolded the imperial edict that Shang Dongyang had sent, his face immediately darkened. He casually threw it on the ground and said coldly, "The imperial edict has been delivered. You can go back and report now."
“But, Ninth Prince…” The scout stared at the imperial edict on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
How is he supposed to report this to the Emperor when he gets back? If the Emperor knew that the Ninth Prince had thrown his imperial edict on the ground and scoffed at it like a fart, he would probably skin him alive to vent his anger.
Shang Xiye sighed softly and asked in a low voice, "Who else is in your family?"
Perhaps he's been having too much fun with his new wife lately, and his heart has softened compared to before.
"Huh?" The scout was still a little confused.
Seeing that he was looking dazed, Wu Ying quickly explained to Shang Xiye, "Kid, you're in luck. Our prince is thinking of saving you from your suffering."
"Ah!" The scout's eyes lit up with ecstatic joy: "My parents passed away last year, and I now only have one wife and two concubines, all of whom live on an estate near the capital."
"One wife and two concubines, tsk tsk," Wuhen said sarcastically, glancing at Wuying twice.
Wuying: "!!!"
That's absolutely heartbreaking!
Even a lowly scout has one wife and two concubines.
He is the chief bodyguard of the Ninth Prince, yet he remains single and no woman has shown interest in him!
Shang Xiye noticed the subtle glint in the eyes of his two bodyguards and a smile flickered across his face. He said, "You should find a job as a constable in the Sangguan yamen. Tell Wuying the exact whereabouts and address of your family, and he will send someone to bring your wives and concubines over."
"No, Your Highness, can we find someone else to handle this?" Wu Ying's face fell, and he was about to cry.
