In front of everyone, Xiao Chen naturally did not dare to be too frivolous. He lifted the queen up, raised his chest and raised his head and shouted: "The queen is driving back to the palace!"
The voice was shrill, but he did it on purpose.
Xiao Chen's scheming was also very deep.
Returning to Kunning Palace, the queen retreated from everyone, her beautiful eyes turned, and she looked at Xiao Chen with a half-smile, which made him feel scared.
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, then this servant will resign first?"
"Xiao Chen, tell me honestly, who are you!"
"An incomplete man..."
Xiao Chen pretended to be serious and said.
"Stop talking glibly to me!"
The queen's pretty face instantly turned red, giving her the look of a begonia.
Because she knew that although Xiao Chen was an eunuch, he was a complete man, and a particularly manly man.
Xiao Chen looked slightly distracted and said casually.
"Replying to your Majesty, this servant was originally a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty."
"Huh? With your talents, you didn't pass the Jinshi examination?"
The Queen nodded in disbelief.
"My father said that passing the imperial examination is enough to support the family business, and there is no need to take the Jinshi exam to become an official. The current situation was turbulent back then, and being an official was not a good thing."
Xiao Chen planned his life experience in an instant.
"I see that you have an extraordinary bearing. You must be a member of a noble family. What's your father's name?" The Queen raised her eyes slightly, showing a hint of inquisitiveness.
"Alas... During the war, my family was destroyed. I was forced to make a living, so I had no choice but to enter the palace and become a eunuch. It doesn't matter that my father's name is not mentioned. It is not an insult to my ancestors."
Xiao Chen knew what the queen was concerned about and sighed deliberately.
"Then, why didn't you cut that thing clean?"
When the queen asked about her concerns, she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Chen's key points. The red clouds rose again, and she looked even more charming.
"At that time, the palace was in a hurry to hire people. If I had to cleanse myself, it would take half a year to get up, and my life might even be lost, so..."
Xiao Chen had known for a long time that this explanation was far-fetched, and with the Queen's intelligence, she would not believe it.
"Eunuch Zhao from the cleansing room has been favored by my father before. He took pity on me and left me alone in the Xiao family, so..."
Xiao Chen could only take a gamble.
"Who else besides Liu Ruyun knows about this?"
The queen pondered for a long time before asking. It seemed that Xiao Chen had made the right bet.
"No one else."
"You have made great achievements at the Lantern Festival this time. The Emperor will definitely reward you, and you will become a prosperous person."
The queen changed the topic and glanced at Xiao Chen without emotion from the corner of her eyes.
"No matter how successful I am, I will always be your servant, my empress!"
Xiao Chen's words are full of puns and hit the mark.
"Yes. However, no matter how high you fly, you are still in the palm of the emperor's hand... There are some things I cannot say to you directly. I hope you can take care of yourself. Go ahead."
The meaning of the Queen's words was very profound.
I wonder if Xiao Chen can understand?
Xiao Chen's mind has always been very clear.
He knew that both the imperial concubine Liu Ruyun and the empress Murong Danqiu wanted to use him, as if he just wanted to use them.
At present, his life is controlled by the two of them, so if he is asked to go east, he does not dare to go west. He is like a pawn at the mercy of others, unable to control himself.
However, as long as he is still valuable, he can survive.
If it has no value or even hinders the chess game, it will definitely die.
Now, Xiao Chen is confident that he can still deal with them temporarily.
But he still faces a hidden crisis, from Emperor Li Wanjiang.
Xiao Chen always felt that Li Wanjiang wanted to kill him. The reason why he never took action was because he wanted to use him to deal with the barbarian country in the Dengyuan Conference.
In fact, if he were Li Wanjiang, he would definitely want to kill himself.
There are three reasons.
First of all, his affair with Concubine Liu must not be hidden from Li Wanjiang's eyes. As a young eunuch, he dares to be so close to Concubine Liu, which is an unforgivable crime!
Secondly, he actually got the appreciation of the queen and took him into Kunning Palace. If something unspeakable happened between him and the queen again... would he deserve death even more?
The emperor's crown is always gold, but it cannot be green!
Thirdly, although he made great contributions to the lantern festival, for Li Wanjiang, it was not a big deal.
Is it said that the Zhou Dynasty has no talents?
He even asked a young eunuch to fight against him!
It's easy to say but not nice to hear.
Then the third reason is obvious.
The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked. You are no longer of use. If I don't kill you, who will I kill?
Therefore, Li Wanjiang's so-called reward may be a high-ranking official with a generous salary, gold and silver treasures, or a white silk ribbon!
Li Wanjiang wants to kill him, and no one can protect him.
Not even the queen.
In the end, you have to rely on yourself.
The queen's words just now were just to wake up Xiao Chen and tell him to be careful. It seems that the queen also discovered Li Wanjiang's murderous intention.
Fortunately, he had just made a great contribution, so Li Wanjiang would not take action right away, but the time left for him was probably not much...
This damn time travel!
I left Kunning Palace with a lot of worries. Not far away, I suddenly heard a hoarse voice calling softly.
"Your Highness, stay."
"Eunuch Zhao." Xiao Chen was startled and almost punched his wrinkled old face with a punch.
"Your Highness, just call me Gongming."
Eunuch Zhao's smile deepened.
Eunuch Zhao's name is Zhao Gongming, which makes people feel awesome just by hearing his name.
Not only is his name awesome, he is also awesome.
Although he is just an old eunuch, he is very bloody and loyal to Xiao Chen's father!
The reason why he took the huge risk to stay in the palace was to find an opportunity to assassinate Li Wanjiang to avenge his master.
From this point alone, he is much better than the former courtiers who surrendered to Li Wanjiang!
So who is the loser?
This is evident!
But Eunuch Zhao immediately changed his mind after seeing Xiao Chen.
I thought the prince was dead, but I didn't expect that he was still alive.
As long as the late emperor still has a drop of his flesh and blood, everything is possible...
Including the restoration of the previous dynasty.
But before, Eunuch Zhao had a very ambiguous attitude towards the prince. Although he was full of promises, he was still reluctant. Now he was even more determined to get excited and find out the details.
Who knows, seeing that Xiao Chen dare not agree, it seems that he may not be a master who can achieve big things.
He didn't inherit any of the late emperor's wisdom and martial prowess.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Xiao Chen didn't expect that Zhao Gongming came to make noise again. He thought that Xiao Chen would definitely be promoted to a higher position after making such a great contribution, and he might even be granted the title of eunuch with the palm seal of the Twenty-Fourth Prison!
This has power.
The "Your Highness" call just now must have made him reconsider this important matter?
"Where is this place? How can I call you by your name? The two of us are in a dangerous situation now, and I am walking on thin ice, so I have to establish a foothold in the palace before talking about anything else. In addition, this matter is important and needs to be considered in the long term. "
Xiao Chen's words seemed reasonable, but they were more perfunctory.
"Yes." Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh again.
"I will come to you when I have something to do in the future. Don't come to me, otherwise it will be inconvenient if others see you." Xiao Chen's words meant to accuse Zhao Gongming of being too reckless.
"yes."
Zhao Gongming was shocked and quickly agreed.
"Quack, quack, what are you old and young talking about in secret here? Can you tell me?" With a burst of duck-like laughter, a middle-aged eunuch was surrounded by a group of young eunuchs. Arrive proudly.
