Prime Minister Ye didn't speak, and the air became silent for a moment. The eunuch stood below. Nervous as hell.
"Go down. Continue to monitor the emperor. If anything happens, tell me immediately." After a while. Prime Minister Ye stopped tapping the table. He took out a handful of silver from his pocket and threw it to the eunuch.
"Hey, thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. I'll take my leave first." The eunuch took the heavy money. His face turned into a chrysanthemum when he smiled, and the way he looked at Prime Minister Ye was like a dog-leg.
Prime Minister Ye was thinking alone, there were too many strange things happening today. It made him a little unable to react. This morning, the eunuch and maid he arranged to stay at Yanli's palace had their legs broken by Jiuli. As a result, he went to ask the man in black who was arranged there.
The man in black said that those three people had their legs broken because they collided with the emperor. Prime Minister Ye didn't care about this at first. I can only blame those minions for being stupid. Having angered the emperor, the emperor is now no longer in power. It was not something they, the eunuchs and the maids, could offend.
Then he thought of Jiuli's attitude towards him today. Not afraid of him at all. And today, you dare to deliberately disgrace him in the morning! The more Prime Minister Ye thought about it, the more something was wrong. The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. What troubles you so much?" Just as Prime Minister Ye was thinking, another person came.
"Master Liu, please take a seat quickly. What kind of strong wind brought you here, and those servants did it too. You didn't come to report your arrival!" When Prime Minister Ye saw Taifu Liu coming, he immediately put away the efforts on his face. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and he stood up to greet him.
Mr. Liu. He was the late emperor's teacher when he was young, and he is now very old. So retired. The reputation and strength are both impressive.
"Haha. I asked them not to say anything. I haven't seen you for a long time. Didn't I come here to have a drink with you?" Taifu Liu laughed. Then he sat on the other side of the table.
"I'm going to ask my servants to prepare the food and drinks." Ye Cheng was very polite to Taifu Liu.
It didn't take long for the table to be filled with delicious food and wine. The food was many times better than Jiuli's.
"When I just came here, I saw your face full of sadness. What happened?" Taifu Liu took a sip of wine and looked at Prime Minister Ye.
"Master Liu must also know what happened in today's morning court, otherwise he wouldn't come to see me today." The prime minister looked at Taifu Liu with a smile.
"Haha. You still understand me. Do you have any thoughts about His Majesty's sudden changes today?" Taifu Liu nodded. Then thinking of the news he got today, he couldn't help but frown.
"His Majesty's change happened suddenly today without any warning. And his aura today is completely different from the past. It's like he's a different person." Ye Cheng was also puzzled by Jiu Li's change. I can't figure it out. So now he expressed his doubts to Taifu Liu.
"Oh? When I received the news today, I thought it was an exaggeration. I didn't expect it to be true. Even you can't understand what happened to His Majesty today." Hearing what Prime Minister Ye said. Taifu Liu frowned.
"Hmm. It's indeed strange. In the past, His Majesty was obedient and respected me very much. But today..." Prime Minister Ye was too embarrassed to say what he said to make him lose face. But Taifu Liu had already received the news. Even if Prime Minister Ye didn't say it. Taifu Liu also understood very well.
"Perhaps His Majesty was suddenly in a bad mood today? That's why he acted like this. After all, rabbits can bite when they are anxious." Taifu Liu took another sip of wine.
"There is another strange thing today." Prime Minister Ye looked at Taifu Liu.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Taifu Liu touched his beard and asked curiously,
Prime Minister Ye told Taifu Liu what the eunuch had just reported about Xiaobai. Liu Taifu listened more and more. The frown deepened.
"Maybe... that person is not a eunuch at all." After a long time. Taifu Liu pondered and came to a conclusion.
"Not a eunuch? What do you mean?" Prime Minister Ye's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Why didn't he think of this just now?
"Your Majesty suddenly changed today. He seemed to have transformed into a different person. A big eunuch appeared inexplicably next to him. Isn't this strange?" Taifu Liu looked at Prime Minister Ye.
"You mean... that eunuch. Is he your majesty's helper?" Prime Minister Ye understood. He was so excited that the wine in the glass was poured down.
"This possibility is very high. But let's not act rashly now. Your Majesty, who is so weak, can suddenly become strong today. That means that the eunuch is very powerful. In other words, there are other people behind the eunuch." Liu Taifu felt in his heart. Bai is definitely not a simple person.
"That eunuch can appear quietly. Maybe he has been with His Majesty for a long time, but we have never discovered it." Prime Minister Ye agreed very much with Taifu Liu's words, and continued to speak along with Taifu Liu's words.
"Why did he suddenly appear today? From what you tell me, he didn't hide anything. That means he deliberately let us know," Taifu Liu analyzed seriously.
"Could it be! They have a plan!" Prime Minister Ye was shocked.
"Maybe. Doesn't His Majesty want to collect the debt? This may be their first step." Taifu Liu nodded.
"Hmph! Collect the bill. I have asked the Minister of Accounts not to go to the palace today. Your Majesty has no bills at all now. Even if he knows that he owes the debt, so what. No one will admit it without evidence." Speaking of collecting the bill. Prime Minister Ye was angry. He is definitely the person who owes the most money to the treasury. Let him pay back the money. impossible!
"It's better not to let your guard down. His Majesty dared to mention this matter today, and the people around him must have expected this result." After all, Taifu Liu is so old, and his thoughts are still deeper than Prime Minister Ye's.
"Is it possible that he brought people to rob him? The people would make it difficult for him." There was no bill. What's the difference between that and robbery? The emperor's reputation is so bad now. If you dare to do this. He is definitely the one who suffers.
"This... I'm a little confused. But I'd better pay more attention to Your Majesty these days and don't act rashly. I will go back and ask someone to check the information about the great eunuch." Taifu Liu said after thinking for a few seconds.
"Yeah. I don't know what that person's purpose is. If it's money or status, maybe he can get him to join our camp."
Jiuli is now not worth mentioning in the hearts of both of them. The most important thing is Xiaobai. All they can think about is novices.
"Yeah. Let's wait and see what happens after we find out. Come on, come on. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink and drink." Taifu Liu raised his wine glass. The two clinked glasses. I won’t continue these topics.
have to say. The two of them have really rich imaginations. Because Jiuli wanted to be lazy, he got Xiaobai out. As a result, Xiaobai became the boss behind the scenes.
However. The boss behind the scenes in their minds. noob. He was fast asleep on the bed. My mouth was drooling all over the pillow.
