But fortunately...
My father is conscious and everything is fine.
"Your Majesty! I beg to see you!"
A shrill and loud voice came from outside the door.
"Enter!"
Zhao Ning smiled faintly.
After a moment.
Eunuch Cao walked in with small steps. After entering, he subconsciously glanced at the layout of the tent.
To be honest.
He felt a little uneasy.
He played a big role in the breakup between the father-in-law and the son-in-law this time, even if he just said some harmless words to Zhao Ji.
Before this big move, few people knew better than him what was going to happen.
There are definitely risks.
But it won't be particularly big.
Zhao Ji believed him, so how serious a crime could be attributed to him?
But he still felt a little unsure.
Because of this operation, Zhao Ji did not bring him with him.
Could it be...
He looked at Zhao Ning and found that blood stains were still seeping out of her new clothes.
I felt relieved immediately.
It seems that because of this incident, the father and daughter had a big disagreement, and it ended with Zhao Ning's failure.
This means that there is no major problem.
Although I heard from Ji Dong that Ying Wuji had already escaped.
But this fire cannot burn me.
He asked cautiously, "Your Highness, where is His Majesty?"
"Father!"
The smile on Zhao Ning's face was somewhat unpredictable: "Father is tired, take a rest."
Eunuch Cao quickly smiled and said, "It's good to sleep. Your Majesty is worried about state affairs all day long. I, as a servant, feel so distressed!"
"Eunuch Cao's loyalty really touched me!"
Zhao Ning smiled calmly and said, "Father has indeed devoted all his energy to state affairs, but he is old and can't bear to do many things. If it weren't for Eunuch Cao's help, Zhao might not have been able to take drastic measures and take action against the Bai family."
Hearing this.
Eunuch Cao was horrified: "Your Highness, please listen to me..."
“No need!”
Zhao Ning smiled calmly, "I am not bringing this up to cause trouble for Eunuch Cao. Not to mention that this is honest advice, even if it is really for some shameful purpose, given Eunuch Cao's years of dedicated service, the royal family should not blame you, and will not vent their anger on the Cao family."
"this……"
Eunuch Cao was a little surprised and didn't understand what Zhao Ning meant.
But looking at the expression on Zhao Ning's face, it didn't seem like he was being sarcastic.
For a moment, my heart was touched.
She sighed softly, "Your Majesty has been very kind to the Cao family, and it is my duty to serve you wholeheartedly..."
He wanted to say something else.
Suddenly, he heard Zhao Ning say, "My father's time is coming, and there is no one to serve him in the afterlife. Would you like to go with me, Eunuch Cao?"
When Eunuch Cao heard this, he did not have any negative emotions, but was quite moved: "I am willing to follow you!"
This sentence comes from the heart.
His actions of fanning the flames were all for the Cao family, and he had no intention of harming Zhao Ji.
But in the end I still feel sorry for Zhao Ji.
If my old bones could be buried with Zhao Ji, I would feel less guilty.
Zhao Ning nodded slightly: "That's great! If there's nothing else, go to the tent next door and rest!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Cao responded and prepared to go out, but he was still worried: "Your Highness, is our Cao family really okay?"
Zhao Ning asked back: "Hasn't your Cao family quietly moved out of the territory of Li?"
Eunuch Cao choked, his face a little ashamed, and he sighed softly: "Your Highness is magnanimous, I am ashamed."
"but……"
Zhao Ning changed the subject: "I can only guarantee that the Li Kingdom will not cause trouble for the Cao family, but the Ji family..."
Eunuch Cao's heart skipped a beat: "Your Highness means..."
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "From the perspective of the Li Kingdom, we don't want the Ji clan alliance to become bigger. Can Eunuch Cao understand?"
"understand!"
Eunuch Cao felt something was wrong.
Zhao Ning continued, "So we found the Jiang family. Their ancestor Jiang Taigong built the Muye Monument himself. The Jiang family naturally preserved a lot of information about the Muye Monument. Among them, there is a poison that pollutes the blood. This poison is harmless to the human body, but it can corrode the blood crystal of the Muye Monument."
Eunuch Cao: “…”
Zhao Ning put down the talisman paper in his hand and looked at him quietly: "We have no way to start with other families, so we chose your Cao family."
Eunuch Cao: “…”
His face turned pale and he looked like a dead person.
His calves went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
After tonight.
What fate will the Cao family face?
Zhao Ning looked down at him and said, "In this case, are you still willing to be buried with your father?"
Eunuch Cao was completely desperate and felt that his whole life was shattered.
I sat there, stunned for a long time.
He sighed lightly, knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhao Ning: "Your Majesty has been your master and servant for decades, and you have done your utmost to me. The calamity of the Cao family today is all my own fault. Your Majesty knew the hidden truth, but still did not spare the Cao family.
Such a kindness is something I will never be able to repay in my lifetime.
Now I am useless, and I am willing to be buried with you to atone for my sins."
“Very good!”
Zhao Ning nodded, and said with emotion: "It's rare that Eunuch Cao is so thoughtful. The Cao family is bound to suffer disasters, but if anyone from the Cao family can escape back to Li territory, Li Kingdom doesn't mind returning them to commoner status. If they serve the country well, they may be able to become officials or generals according to the laws of Li Kingdom."
Eunuch Cao also knew that only a few people could escape and be willing to flee back to the State of Li.
But at least it’s a thought.
