After confirming Zhao Gao's punishment, Wang Wan came out feeling relaxed.
Zhao Gao has now been beaten back to the starting point. It can be said that he has lost everything except his life.
Such a person poses no threat to Wang Wan.
It's not that Zhao Gao has no chance to make a comeback, but... how fierce is the struggle in the court? No one would give him a chance to make a comeback.
Wang Wan was sure that Zhao Gao would not survive more than a month if he entered the palace as a slave. If others didn't tell him, Li Shui would definitely not let him go.
"In this case, I don't even have to deal with him anymore, he is dead." Thinking of the excitement, Wang Wan clasped his hands behind his back, and his steps became more and more brisk.
The news that Zhao Gao was a slave also reached the ears of Li Shui and Li Xin. The two people were hiding in the alchemy room chatting.
After hearing the news, Li Xin said worriedly, "Brother Huai, be careful of Zhao Gao's counterattack."
Li Shui shook his head and said with a smile, "Zhao Gao has been an official in these years, no matter how cautious he is, he will offend some people. Now that he has lost everything, will these people let him go? I dare to say that he will not survive a single life in the palace." moon."
Li Xin nodded in agreement.
Li Shui added, "Ignore others, this time Wang Wan offended him to death. We don't have to take action at all, just watch the show. Wang Wan will definitely find an opportunity to kill Zhao Gao."

Zhao Gao entered the palace tremblingly. The palace seemed peaceful, but Zhao Gao knew that there were dangers everywhere.
"Huai Guzi, Wang Wan, Chun Yuyue, Li Si, Zhao Teng... all of them may harm me. No, it's not possible, but they will definitely harm me." Zhao Gao clasped his hands behind his back and pondered all the way.
"I should find a way to protect myself. How to protect myself? Do I have to join a force? Huaiguzi and Wang Wan have already made enemies with me, so there is no need to think about it anymore. Zhao Teng also had trouble with me before, so I guess it won't work either." Zhao Gao sighed. He suddenly realized that after so many years of careful management, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Zhao Gao frowned and said, "Who should I turn to? Li Si? This person is not a gentleman. Even if he accepts me, I am afraid he will only let me charge into the battle and will not really protect me."
"Should I seek refuge with Chunyu Yue? No, Chunyu Yue is a gentleman, and he might not look down on me."
"Or, seek refuge with Wang Jian? Although the Wang family is in decline, it should be possible to save my life. It's not possible. I didn't help the Wang family when they were in trouble..."
After a long time, Zhao Gao sighed, "Forget it, I'll just rely on Hu Hai. Although Hu Hai is young, he is still a young master. Maybe he can say a word or two for me."
Just as Zhao Gao thought of this, he heard a smiling voice coming from beside him, "Master Zhao, we meet again."
Zhao Gao raised his head warily and found that it was Ji Ming.
In the past, Zhao Gao didn't even bother to pay attention to this Ji Ming, but now times have changed and everything is different. So Zhao Gao said humbly, "Now, I am not an adult."
Ji Ming shook his head and said, "Once you are a master, you will always be a master. I still remember that I visited you that day and brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Alas, it is a pity that you were busy with other things and did not interact with me." .What a shame.”
Zhao Gao frowned when he heard this, "What does this mean? Do you want to take the jewelry back?"
When Ji Ming saw that Zhao Gao was silent, he sighed again and said, "Those jewels are half of my life savings. Now I want to join the banished immortals, but it's a pity that I don't have these steps to enter the world."
Zhao Gao was a little speechless, "Design to Huaiguzi? You can't think of it."
Seeing that Zhao Gao had been pretending to be stupid, Ji Ming finally couldn't help it anymore and asked in front of him, "Master Zhao, are those jewelry still there?"
Zhao Gao coughed dryly and said, "Zhao has nothing to offer now. He is left alone and becomes a slave in the palace. What do you think?"
After Ji Ming heard this, he was very angry. I thought to myself, "This idiot has lost all his family property. My poor jewelry has also lost its fortune."
When Ji Ming saw Zhao Gao in the past, he was always in awe. Now that Zhao Gao was in despair, Ji Ming immediately began to look down on him.
What Master Zhao, haha, isn't he just an old eunuch?
Now that Zhao Gao couldn't get the jewelry, Ji Ming was very angry and wanted to beat Zhao Gao, but he had no excuse and it was a bit difficult to do so.
Suddenly, Ji Ming noticed that Zhao Gao was walking with a limp. His eyes lit up immediately, and he kicked Zhao Gao to the ground. "Sir, Mr. Riru, do you dare to learn how to walk like me?"
Zhao Gao was about to cry but had no tears, "I...I was whipped and I have injuries on my body."
Ji Ming didn't care about this, kicked him hard twice, and then limped away.
Zhao Gao got up from the ground in disgrace and walked to Hu Hai's palace dejectedly. As a result, when we were halfway there, a young eunuch came.
When the young eunuch saw Zhao Gao, he said sympathetically, "Oh, Master Zhao, who is bullying you?"
Zhao Gao blushed and said, "I accidentally fell down."
The little eunuch shook his head repeatedly, "I was so careless. Why did I fall on someone's foot? Look at the shoe prints..."
Zhao Gao couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Unexpectedly, the young eunuch said, "I don't know, sir. From the day I entered the palace, the villain has been following the example of adults. I hope to be like you, with a broken body, to ascend to a high position."
Zhao Gao gave a bitter laugh and said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "What a high position, now... Isn't it still a fall?"
The young eunuch said, "It would be nice to experience it."
Then, he took out a steamed bun from his body and said, "This is a good thing. It sells for five hundred yuan each outside. Please eat it, sir."
When Zhao Gao saw the quality of the steamed buns, he knew they were made by Shangjun Courtyard. Huaiguzi is his big enemy, and he doesn't want it.
The young eunuch said, "A real man can bend and stretch, so why should he harm his body for some trivial matters? Isn't that too pedantic?"
Zhao Gao thought about it and felt that this was right. So he took the steamed bun and took a bite.
He was really hungry. He was tortured all night yesterday and for most of the day, and he didn't eat anything. After taking a bite, I couldn't stop. After a while, the whole bun went into my stomach.
Zhao Gao looked at the young eunuch and his eyes filled with tears, "It turns out that it is such a feeling to offer help in times of need. May I ask what your name is? If Zhao Gao is able to do well in the future, I will definitely repay him."
The young eunuch waved his hand and said, "Why wait until later? Master Zhao can just pay me five hundred yuan now."
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, "Are you... kidding?"
The young eunuch's expression suddenly changed. "When did I joke with you? Before eating the steamed buns, did I tell you that this thing sells for five hundred yuan? The price is clearly marked, so you are innocent."
Zhao Gao was about to cry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't bully others too much, I..."
The young eunuch kicked him over and said, "Old man? My ancestor, do you still think you are the order of the CRRC? Obediently take the money, otherwise you will lose face if you start yelling."
Zhao Gao got up from the ground with pain all over his body: "Your Majesty still cares about my affection, so you are not afraid of what you did today..."
The young eunuch kicked him over again, "I will never let you enter the palace as a slave because of your love. Mr. Zhao, don't you understand?"
Zhao Gao suddenly trembled and thought, "Your Majesty cares about me. Do you not have the heart to kill me, or do you not have the heart to kill me with your own hands? I am a slave in the palace, can I really protect myself?"
Before Zhao Gao could understand, the young eunuch next to him grabbed his clothes and said, "Pay back the money, pay back the money quickly."
…………
Hu Hai's bedroom. Hu Hai is sitting in front of his mother.
Hu Hai's mother also has no name. Her real surname is Wang, so logically speaking, she should be called Beauty Wang. But the palace is more accustomed to calling her Hu Ji.
Hu Ji said to Hu Hai, "I heard that your Majesty spared Zhao Gao's death penalty and made him a slave in the palace."
Hu Hai said happily, "Great, I can be with Master day and night from now on."
Hu Ji sighed and said to Hu Hai, "This may be a good thing for Zhao Gao, but not necessarily for you. Fusu's master is Chunyu Yue, and Fu Yao's master is Huaiguzi."
"Which one is not a great figure in the world? Which one is not a high-ranking person? You must know that the master of the young master is his helper in the outer court. But now, your master is just a palace slave. I am worried that this will continue like this..."
Hu Hai said, "What about the palace slave? My master is both civil and military and very talented."
Hu Ji shook her head slightly, thinking, "The Wang family has fallen, and Zhao Gao is in trouble again. Is it true that Hu Hai has no chance of becoming emperor?"
Hu Ji looked at the cheering Hu Hai and thought, "That's it. He is not the eldest son and has no chance of being crowned the emperor. It's just my wishful thinking."
Just as Hu Ji was thinking of this, she heard a noise outside.
She took Hu Hai out of the door and saw Zhao Gao covered in dust, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and was dragged by a young eunuch in a very embarrassed state.
The young eunuch bowed to Hu Ji and said, "This old eunuch ate my steamed buns and defaulted on the payment."
Hu Ji looked at Zhao Gao helplessly, "Is this the case?"
Zhao Gao was so embarrassed and angry that he said, "I... didn't know that these steamed buns cost money."
Hu Ji asked the young eunuch, "How much does your steamed bun cost?"
The young eunuch said, "Five hundred coins."
Hu Hai was furious and kicked the young eunuch: "The steamed buns in the palace are from Shangjun Courtyard. Except for the father and Fu Yao, they don't charge any money. The other places have a discount of 100 yuan." Do you dare to sell it for a high price of five hundred yuan?"
Zhao Gao heard them arguing about five hundred dollars or one hundred dollars, and suddenly felt a little discouraged.
After half a lifetime of ups and downs in officialdom, he unexpectedly ended up in this situation. Alas...what's the point of living?
Shameful, shameful.
With a pop, Zhao Gao vomited blood again. Then, he fell down and lay on the ground.
Pretend to be dizzy. If you faint, you can save some face.
