There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart. King Qi had to straighten his expression. He could not expose this matter, so he could only reluctantly say to Princess Qi: "If there is an emergency ahead, come to me and I have to deal with it. Princess Qi can make your own decision about the matters in the backyard. Wait. I'll come back to you when I'm done."
With that said, he sent his son to the princess's arms again, hurried out, and said to the eunuch: "Let's arrange it and take the secret passage!"
"Yes!" The eunuch responded immediately.
"Father hasn't asked me about my homework these days." The child, who had begun to enlighten, looked at his father's retreating figure and said to Princess Qi with a little grievance.
Princess Qi hurriedly coaxed: "Your father has been too busy recently. I didn't forget it on purpose. When your father is done with his work later, he will definitely get together to ask you, so you have to study hard so that you won't be late." Your father asked me about it, but I didn’t know anything about it. Do you know?”
"I know, son," her son said.
Holding her young son in her arms, the young and beautiful Princess Qi waved to invite Concubine An to leave. Looking at the front yard in the empty flower hall again, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
It was fine for her husband to have concubines and concubines. Before she got married, she knew that as a princess, her husband could not have only her as his wife. Regardless of whether there would be a further day, the existence of concubines was destined.
But the husband is often busy with government affairs, and he may do hurtful things while sleeping. Even though the husband and wife have a good relationship, they never sleep together until dawn.
Usually I would leave in a hurry after saying a few words.
Even if she is not obsessed with love and does things generously and decently, Princess Qi will inevitably feel disappointed.
The eunuch Luo Ji, who was "invited" by Luo Pei's order to the official ship farther and farther away from the capital, still had anger in his eyes in the flower hall even after a day. His anger made his whole face look ferocious, and there were veins on his neck. They all jumped up. Seeing this, the next moment they rushed out to fight Luo Pei hand-to-hand, it would not surprise anyone present.
But this obviously didn't work. Even if he wanted to kill Luo Pei immediately, the eunuch had to suppress his anger.
The situation is stronger than the person, and being tough will only make things develop in the direction he doesn't want to see.
As a eunuch, he naturally doesn't show much force and cruelty on the surface, but more often does tricks in secret and deceives others behind his back.
"When the prince ascends the throne, our family will gain power and we must kill all those villains! That old man Luo Pei, our family must cut him into pieces to satisfy our hatred!"
"They humiliated me like this in front of those people. If I could bear it, I would be a turtle!" He hated Luo Pei in his heart even more than Su Ziji or other murderers who might have ruined his plan.
He glanced at the few people he had summoned around him. They were all the backbone of the team. Luo Ji twitched his lips and asked, "You know why we asked you to come here. Let's talk about it now." Is there any way now to successfully complete the mission?"
There was nothing to say. Since they were following King Qi, how could they not know Luo Ji's temperament?
Without Mr. Chu, if you ask him for advice, you will probably get yourself into a trap. No one has come up with this idea. Besides, they really have nothing to do. Without Mr. Chu, many things will indeed be difficult to handle.
The eunuch was very dissatisfied with their attitude and sneered: "Are you all mute? You must express your opinions today. Is there anything you can do?"
Seeing that they still lowered their heads and said nothing, he simply nodded to the guard casually: "You speak first."
The guard sighed helplessly and had to say: "Father, everything here must be reported to the prince. Why don't you ask the prince for instructions on the report letter? After the situation changes, I also ask for the prince's instructions whether to intercept and kill him in the middle. For the best.”
Doesn't this mean you are incompetent?
Luo Ji suddenly became furious and slapped him across the face. Amidst the clear slap, he screamed: "Mr. Chu, this was decided before. You didn't object at that time. If you object now, could it be that you think our eunuch is unworthy?" Instructing you to wait?"
There was burning pain on his face, and a trace of anger flashed in the guard's eyes. He was also a high-ranking official after all, and he had never been treated like this. He just felt really aggrieved and had to endure it.
Honestly speaking, it is unwise to attack a champion, and the court will definitely investigate. By then, the prince or the eunuch may be fine, but he and others may be scapegoated.
When Chu Gurong was there before, he was helpless, but now he didn't want to continue. He smiled apologetically and continued: "Now that Mr. Chu is gone, no one knows what the specific arrangements are. It would be great if this matter succeeds. If it fails, how can the father-in-law report to him?" Where is the prince's explanation?"
This seems to be a very sincere statement, and it is indeed a good word.
The eunuch listened, and actually felt that it made sense. But he said that just now, and now he changed his words in front of several people. Wouldn't it make these people feel that he was easy to bully?
As an eunuch, he has a good reputation and holds grudges. Eunuch Zhao is just like that, he can deal with things rationally. Luo Ji is like this, which is fine at ordinary times. Once such an emergency occurs, it reveals the flaws in his character.
Now, knowing that what he said was reasonable, he still sneered and pointed at this person: "Xun Sichen. Since you can say this, you must have a plan in mind? Then go and handle this matter, bring your people, Go and assassinate Su Ziji!"
Seeing the hesitation on Xun Sichen's face, the eunuch said coldly: "If you don't go, I will take you down immediately for questioning."
Several people witnessed this scene, and they all sympathized with their colleagues, and even felt a little indignant. However, facing this matter, they could only keep their mouths shut to avoid following in the footsteps of their colleagues.
Xun Sichen felt a chill in his heart and wished he could kill the eunuch with his sword. If all his men were mobilized, maybe he could get the job done.
Now if you divide your troops and let yourself go in a small group, this is to die!
Why did I meet such a stupid superior?
But even with all the anger, the official level was overwhelming. At this time, he was stared at coldly by this eunuch. In the end, he had no choice but to obey the order: "I just obey the order."
The speaker didn't realize that while he was talking, there were two white foxes, one big and one small, lying on the roof of the cabin, listening.
Although their white color is conspicuous, they move extremely fast, like a gust of wind, and no one notices them as they pass by.
At this time, they heard the conversation and saw that the people inside dispersed. The two foxes looked at each other, then blew two gusts of wind again and returned to the official ship where Su Ziji was.
"Huh? Did something pass by just now?" Two soldiers were patrolling the deck. One of them looked up, confused.
A soldier was startled, looked around and found nothing, so he frowned: "No, are you dazzled?"
"Maybe." Thinking of the drowning of people in the fleet not long ago, the two looked at each other and stopped talking about such things, so as not to attract bad luck.
As for the white shadow I saw, when I thought that maybe I was the only one who saw it, and then thought about the dead person before, why would I still want to mention it?
The two of them were even more silent than before. They patrolled to the opposite side and didn't even return to their original place.
