"Liu Yushun, sometimes the relationship between you and me seems to be better than that of master and servant."
During his trip to Meizhou many years ago, he and the emperor swam the lake together. The emperor omitted "I" and he omitted "slave."
The chat without any barriers made him, who was used to being called a slave, feel flattered.
He once only thought that he was a "special servant", only a little higher than those palace maids and eunuchs, until the emperor personally admitted that he, Liu Yushun, was the best person to deliver all the secrets.
Because he is loyal enough.
Only then did he understand that the late emperor had known for a long time that he was seeking power and wanted the position of the eunuch in charge, but he turned a blind eye and pushed him to his side with his own hands, letting him accompany him.
Later, relying on his power as an emperor, everyone showed courtesy to him, and he became the "Eunuch Liu" who is now respected by thousands of people.
After all, he is just a slave.
The so-called loyalty is always a ridiculous term considering his status. For a slave, living is the most important thing, isn't it?
Anyway...
No matter who is the emperor, he is still a slave.
"I have never treated you as a slave, so others should respect you as a father-in-law."
In a daze, the vigorous and powerful voice that had been stuck in my mind suddenly echoed in my ears.
What year, month and place did this come from?
Haha, I seem to have forgotten...
"Eunuch Liu, if you can't tell whether this edict is true or false, then you can only declare it to be false."
Rong Qin's sudden voice pulled Eunuch Liu out of his thoughts.
The pain of Bone Erosion Powder also became clear again at this moment.
If we don't tell him, this Bone Erosion Powder may corrode the internal organs, and even if there is an antidote, it will be useless...
He held Yi Zhao's hand tightly, and with all his strength, he could only sit up and look a little more decently.
Eunuch Liu raised his eyes and scanned the words outlined on the edict one by one, then raised his head and looked in Rong Qin's direction.
Suddenly, he smiled almost sarcastically at Rong Qin: "Master Rong knows that this slave cherishes his life, ahem... so he is sure that this slave will say that this edict is false."
But even though he cherished his life, the person who regarded him as his father-in-law was no longer there.
As long as he lives, he will be just a slave in the eyes of others. How can anyone treat him as a father-in-law?
It’s okay for him to be this slave.
The late emperor has passed away, but your kindness is still there. This Dasheng world was built with painstaking efforts by the late Emperor. Even if the owner changed, it should still be the owner he chose.
Rebels and rebellious ministers must not be controlled.
Rong Qin, who was already destined to win, was waiting for Eunuch Liu to say the last words, but when he accidentally touched Eunuch Liu's sneer eyes, he felt something was wrong for no reason.
Pei Qi also looked solemn, unable to decipher the meaning of Eunuch Liu's words for a while.
While everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, Eunuch Liu's hoarse and forbearing voice came over again: "This edict is... ahem, it is the handwriting of the late emperor. I personally ordered this to be delivered to the eldest princess's house. Absolutely... not half false!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Rong Qin, but almost everyone was shocked.
Those important officials in the court who were afraid of Rong Qin's power and dared not speak out finally dared to stand up because of the support of this posthumous edict.
"Rong Qin, now that the late emperor's edict has been confirmed, what else do you have to say!"
"I'm afraid that Lord Supervisor of the Kingdom will not be able to inherit the throne today. Please also ask Lord Rong to follow the instructions of the imperial edict and find the Imperial Master!"
In the blink of an eye, the trend that was originally one-sided towards Rong Qin had an unexpected reversal in an instant.
Rong Qin lowered his head, and the thin hair on his forehead blocked his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly. It only felt that the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower.
The time for the bones to be dissipated had come. Eunuch Liu fell to the ground after spitting out the last mouthful of blood. Pei Qi held up the hem of his clothes and walked towards him with heavy steps.
She knelt in front of Eunuch Liu, placed one hand on Eunuch Liu's unclosed eyes, and gently closed them.
The tone was also slightly choked: "Eunuch Liu was loyal to the late emperor and did not waste his life. Dasheng will surely engrave his name in the annals of history and transmit it to the world."
She didn't know what happened between Eunuch Liu and the late emperor, so that a man who cherished his life like Eunuch Liu would rather die than betray the late emperor. This feeling was shocking and awe-inspiring.
It turns out...she is not the only one who wants to protect the Dasheng world for the emperor.
After settling Eunuch Liu, Pei Qi calmed down his mood. Those courtiers who knelt on the ground were no longer kneeling on Rong Qin and Jiang Fengchuan, but on this real edict.
Pei Qi took a few steps in Rong Qin's direction, and could vaguely feel the chill he was trying to restrain, as well as the suffocating sense of oppression.
All his plans may have turned into clouds in the sky at this moment, and all his previous efforts have been wasted.
"Master Rong, did you hear clearly just now? No one is allowed to ascend the throne, including the Supervisor, until the Imperial Master is found." Then, Pei Qi faced the ministers, stood with his hands behind his back, and made a gesture of invitation with the other hand. : "There is no news from the Imperial Master now. I don’t think there will be any results from the discussion tonight. Why don’t we just end the banquet here today and please come back?"
Liu Shuen, who was still wavering before, saw that Rong Qin had no way to deal with the imperial edict, so he boldly spoke: "I think Master Su is right. Since the former emperor has a destiny, the new emperor still has to wait for the imperial master." Come forward.”
"I second the proposal."
"I respectfully obey the orders of the late emperor."
Seeing that the ministers were finally willing to stand up one by one, Pei Qi's heart that had been tugging at him was completely relieved.
Previously, under Rong Qin's oppression, the ministers did not dare to take too many actions. Now the late emperor's edict has taken effect. No matter how high Rong Qin's status is, he cannot go too far in front of the ministers.
In other words, as long as the officials are on her side, Rong Qin has no chance of winning.
Finally, he was stopped.
Duan Qianjun also stretched out and slowly stood up from his seat. His provocative eyes fell on Rong Qin unscrupulously: "Since we can't come up with a reason after the discussion today, let's go back to the truth first. Next time Furthermore, the new emperor and right minister need to make more preparations."
Seeing this, Pei Qi quickly followed and prepared to leave.
Perhaps it was the pleasure of victory that made her forget the pain in her waist, and followed Duan Qianjun outside the palace.
After just a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to look at Rong Qin: "Sir Rong, maybe a cold-blooded person like you who has exhausted all the tricks will not be able to figure it out until he dies. Eunuch Liu, who cherished his life, admitted this edict."
"You can plan everything with confidence, but in the end you can't predict the changes in people's hearts."
How could he understand the emperor's favor?
Although there was no expression on Pei Qi's face, Rong Qin guessed that Pei Qi should be extremely proud that his plan was ruined.
Oh, the changes in people's hearts?
In the face of absolute power, what can he do?
Whether this edict is genuine or fake, Jiang Fengchuan today...
Must be declared emperor.
Rong Qin raised his head slightly, and there was an inexplicable bloodthirsty killing intent in his eyes that were like cold pools.
He raised his hand, and Tu You outside the hall immediately understood and quickly took out a firework from his waist and lit it. With a loud noise that reached the sky, the firework suddenly bloomed in the air under the confused eyes of the ministers. .
At that time, outside the palace, a large army led by Ye Chong also attacked the imperial city in an instant, surrounding the entire palace with an airtight seal.
But Rong Qin's cold and sharp eyes were fixed on Pei Qi, who was about to walk out of the hall, and he was approaching her step by step...
