Returning to the Queen Mother's Palace, Eunuch Cui informed her of His Majesty's decision.
"Finally, this moment has come. It's not in vain that you have spent so many years." The Queen Mother turned the prayer beads in her hand and carefully looked at the person in front of her who had been with her for most of her life. Although they were nominally the master's servants, in fact , they relied on each other and went through many difficulties before reaching the point where they are now. Although they are not named relatives, they have included each other within the scope of close relatives and love. After a while, the Queen Mother sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty agreed to your request."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Eunuch Cui saluted the Queen Mother solemnly, "I will no longer be able to...serve you by your side. Although I am far away, I will pray for your Majesty day and night. May your Majesty be safe and happy." Well-being!"
"Okay, get up!" The Queen Mother waved to Eunuch Cui, motioning him to come to her, and put her prayer beads into Eunuch Cui's hand, "May all your wishes come true during your time in Liao."
"Thank you, my slave!"
Next, the two people talked about the next thing for nearly one hour. At the urging of Eunuch Cui, the Queen Mother returned to her bedroom to rest.
After confirming that the Queen Mother was sleeping peacefully, Eunuch Cui asked the maids guarding the palace to be careful about charcoal fires and pay attention to the situation in the palace before returning to his room.
After washing up quickly, he lay on the bed. Eunuch Cui thought he would fall asleep soon, but he didn't expect that when he lay down, he became more energetic. Things from a long time ago were like a revolving lantern, in front of his eyes. Reappear one by one.
Many people think that children have no memory of what happened when they were young. In fact, this is not the case. Not only do they have impressions, but they also remember them very deeply.
Cui Eunuch remembers that when he was young, oh, to be precise, it should be before the age of five. He lived a carefree life, with grandparents who loved him, a father who was strict but yet funny, and a mother who was doting but not doting. , brothers who like to bully him but always bring him new things from outside, sisters whose kung fu is no weaker than that of his brothers, and those tribesmen who are smiling every day, he once thought that these people Will stay with him for a long time.
But fate is a trick. Perhaps God couldn't bear to see that their family's life was going so smoothly, so it sent them such a disaster.
Eunuch Cui felt that there was a saying in Daxia that realistically described the situation of his family at that time: if a person sits at home, disaster will come from the sky.
He still remembered that on the morning of the house raid, fierce soldiers rushed into his home. His grandfather, father and two older brothers who already had official positions were taken away on the spot. In order to protect his younger brother and younger sister who had just passed the full moon, his mother, He was hit hard on the head by a soldier and died on the spot. And the little brother and sister were choked to death by those beasts because of their endless crying. The aunts, girls, and boys at home were either beaten to death or seriously injured because they resisted.
Eunuch Cui will never forget that hell-like scene. Even three or two years after the incident, he could see that scene in his dreams and wake up every time.
The culprit who caused that unparalleled tragedy stood watching not far away with a proud look on his face, as if admiring some beautiful scenery.
Eunuch Cui felt that even if he died, he would never forget Yelvertu’s ugly face at that time. He could imagine that Yelvertu saw the powerful uncle’s family, and how they behaved under his careful design. Down, the ecstasy when your family is ruined and everyone is dead.
"What a pity. The uncle never thought that he would be supporting an ungrateful, cold-hearted devil."
A sneer appeared on Eunuch Cui's face. His uncle was the unlucky guy who practiced with Yelvertu to frame their family for rebellion. Later, he rebelled and ascended to the throne, but his head was whipped off by the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace.
He turned over and pulled up the quilt on his body. His uncle should be lucky that he and his eldest son died in the hands of the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace. Otherwise, he would never spare them. of. He won't be as rough as they treat their own family. He will let them feel the pain of loss bit by bit. The so-called killing with a blunt knife is the most terrifying thing in the world.
Now that Uncle Datang and his family are dead, it is Yelvertu who will bear their revenge for them. As for Yelu Lan, Eunuch Cui had a faint smile on his face. He didn't know if it was retribution, but Yelu Ertu's only son was not of the same mind as him and was trying his best to plot against him. Eunuch Cui couldn't help laughing. In this way, no matter how he acted, he would not attract attention.
Thinking, thinking, Eunuch Cui's eyelids slowly became heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
At this time, the late-night supper meeting in the imperial study room was still going on.
Song Jue, Bai Meng, Ying Shisan and Eunuch Pan each held a large bowl and slurped down the noodles.
"Although we have plans to get married, and we will make preparations, I don't think this can be implemented in a short period of time." Bai Meng glanced at Ying Thirteen, "Is Yelulan going to be in mourning?"
"Well!" Ying Thirteen swallowed the noodles in his mouth, took another sip of soup, and said, "It will be almost three months. After it is over, I guess there will be no time to think about this matter. Jin is already in such a mess, Wanyan is happy No matter how calm he is, it is estimated that after June, he will lead the Liao soldiers back to the Kingdom of Jin. This war will never stop unless the Jin is completely conquered. Duke Guo , the Marquis, the boss and the military advisor also think so. Since we have sent troops, we will not stop until we achieve our goals."
"So..." While Bai Meng wasn't paying attention, Song Jue quickly took away the only piece of tendon from his bowl and took a proud bite, "Yelulan is determined to leave Linhuang Mansion?"
"He himself has understood the situation clearly. If he continues to stay in Linhuang Mansion and continues to hang out under Yelvertu's nose, he will get nothing except being used as a pawn and a target by those with ulterior motives in the court. . I can’t tell..." Ying Thirteen looked at Bai Meng who was staring at Song Jue, chuckled, and threw his untouched tendons into his bowl, "His plan has not been fully implemented, and he His reputation has been ruined. Therefore, it is imperative to leave Linhuang Mansion."
"For the successor of the King of Liao, military power and military exploits are of paramount importance." Song Jue nodded, took a chopstick and put it into his mouth, "This decision is very wise."
"That's right!" Bai Meng drank the last sip of soup in the bowl and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Aren't you going to Linhuang Mansion with General Shen and the military advisor?"
"No, those of us who have never shown our faces on the battlefield should not cause trouble. The newcomers in the Shadow Camp should also get some experience." Shadow Thirteen also finished his bowl of noodles. "Your Majesty, do you have anything you want to convey to the boss?"
"Tell her to be careful, the Liao people cannot be trusted." Song Jue put down the bowl in his hand and waved to Eunuch Pan, "Pan Pan, bring that over."
"Yes!" Eunuch Pan found a bright yellow box from the table and handed it to Song Jue respectfully.
"Passing on my decree, I ennoble Shen Cha as the general who governs the country, and he is sent as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom."
