Chapter 123
Whenever His Majesty is in a bad mood, he always calls him by name. When he is in a good mood, he calls him Eunuch Du. Although calling him Eunuch Du is not in line with etiquette, His Majesty is not a person who observes etiquette.
I remember at the beginning, because of this title, he was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, asking Your Majesty to take back his orders.
As a result, I was punished with a board, and my legs and feet still ache when I think about it.
Emperor Xuanzhao approached the palace and said, "Step back, I don't need you."
The maids did not dare to pause and immediately retreated in an orderly manner.
Looking at His Majesty's current appearance, Mr. Du couldn't help but lament in his heart. He didn't know who had made His Majesty displeased again.
I have really forgotten how His Majesty ascended to the throne in the first place, and those princes and princes lying in the ground, but only a few years later, some people can't sit still anymore.
Emperor Xuan Zhao strode to sit on the bed and said, "Go and tell me that Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has committed corruption, accepted bribes, and used lynching in private. He is unworthy of being an official. Starting today, he will be reprimanded and exiled."
There were no big words, just a simple gesture, and that was it. Manager Du sighed, Your Majesty didn't even give him one night.
He bent down and saluted, "I'll go right away." He bowed his head and went out, closing the door behind him.
Emperor Xuan Zhao looked cold, "I really can't wait to jump out." His eyes were filled with coldness.
An Yi appeared and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, we found the orphan from the Peking Palace."
Emperor Xuan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? What's wrong?"
"They assumed the name of a merchant and hid in the south of the Yangtze River. Now they have many private soldiers under their command, and they even secretly have contact with the Xie family."
Emperor Xuan Zhao's lips curled up, "I have lived for too long, and I am not satisfied." He tilted his head slightly, "Go and lead someone to deal with it. You must act as a deterrent to the Xie family."
"I understand." An Yi disappeared.
Emperor Xuan Zhao's lips were slightly raised, and his handsome face showed a bit of fierceness under the flickering candlelight.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and what appeared in his mind was Fu Ronghua's face.
He pinched his left wrist with his right hand and recalled Fu Ronghua's death. Even though he had temporarily given up on her because of the Xie family's delay, he knew in his heart that he would not allow his own weakness, which was why he had murderous intentions.
In fact, if he had been more careful at that time, she would not have died, but he let it go and caused her death.
He forced Xie Yu to activate the forbidden technique in anger, and he also asked for a chance.
Ask yourself, is it really all about Fu Ronghua? No, he is trying to completely get rid of the Xie family and the old monster behind the scenes.
His expression was a bit ruthless, but he kept Fu Ronghua in his heart. But if he knew that Fu Ronghua was beyond his control, then what he would do was not indulge her, but break her wings.
Fortunately, she is now on her own terms and doesn't need him to worry too much.
——
In the Qiushui Palace, Fu Ronghua woke up from his sleep, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Her pajamas were soaked with sweat, and she was panting slightly, her expression full of horror.
The scene in the dream was so horrifying that she actually dreamed that Emperor Xuan Zhao learned of her plan, broke her legs, and completely imprisoned her in the palace.
Although she was alive, she lost her identity as Fu Ronghua and was imprisoned in the palace by His Majesty.
