Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin's embarrassed appearance, even with injuries on his body, and the little worry in his heart disappeared, but even so, he still had a cold face.
This time he was lucky. Fortunately, Li Huan descended from the sky and rescued him. Otherwise, the mighty emperor would have been killed by an assassin. Once word spread, Zhu Houzhao would really leave his name in history.
And all of this happened because of Liu Jin. Although he had some faults for not sneaking out of the palace, in the final analysis, those assassins were after Liu Jin, but it was his emperor who suffered the most disaster.
Liu Jin, who was lying there holding Zhu Houzhao's thigh, glanced at Zhu Houzhao secretly and felt relieved when she saw Zhu Houzhao's stunned face.
After following Zhu Houzhao for so long, he still doesn't know what Zhu Houzhao's temperament is. This time it was indeed because he almost caused a catastrophe. Logically speaking, even if he chopped off his head, it would be difficult to atone for his sin.
But Liu Jin was not worried at all, because Zhu Houzhao was very emotional. As long as he behaved miserably, Zhu Houzhao would definitely soften his heart and forgive him.
Sure enough, after a short while, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but kicked him hard, and Liu Jin fell to the ground.
"Okay, you cryin' old thing, I haven't said anything about punishing you yet!"
Liu Jin looked angry and aggrieved and said: "Old slave, I really didn't expect that someone would be so crazy about wanting my life. It's fine if I lose my life. Who would have thought that I almost killed your majesty? It's all my fault."
Slave, please Your Majesty punish me!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard Liu Jin mention the assassination, his face turned cold and he said: "In the land of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, there is such a bold person. If he dares to assassinate Liu Daban today, will he dare to enter the palace and assassinate me in the future?
Got it!"
Upon hearing that Zhu Houzhao's attention had been diverted as expected, Liu Jin was delighted and said: "Old slave, I asked myself who I have not sinned against, but I don't know who could be so vicious and insisted on taking my life. Your Majesty, please do it for me."
Make the decision."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked at Liu Jin who was kneeling in front of him in embarrassment, sighed softly and said: "I will leave this matter to you, Daban. I will send an order to Ma Yongcheng, Shi Wenyi, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei."
We will fully assist you in investigating this matter."
Although Liu Jin now has Zhu Houzhao's trust, one has not yet become the head of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and neither has the authority to supervise the East Factory. Therefore, Liu Jin's current influence on Jinyiwei and the East Factory is really extremely limited. Without Zhu Houzhao
It really depends on whether Ma Yongcheng, the admiral of Dongchang, and Shi Wenyi, who is in charge of the Jinyiwei, will give him face.
Liu Jin kowtowed respectfully and said: "Old slave, take your orders!"
He raised his foot and kicked Liu Jin and said, "Okay, get up."
It was only then that Du Yu, who was standing outside the hall, walked into the hall, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "I am not in good position to protect you, so I apologize to your majesty."
Seeing Du Yu's pale face, Zhu Houzhao said with some concern in his eyes: "Ai Qing, why are you guilty? Get up quickly. Thanks to Ai Qing's protection, I was able to escape from danger."
Zhu Houzhao said with some curiosity: "Tell me, how did you escape? What happened to those assassins in the end?"
Du Yu first glanced at Liu Jin. Liu Jin was currently having his wounds treated by his servants, so he had no time to talk.
After coughing lightly, Du Yu told him how he tried his best to kill the assassin, was knocked unconscious by Li Huan, and then captured the assassin.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard Du Yu mention Li Huan. When Du Yu finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile and said: "So you have also met Li Huan and the others."
Du Yu nodded and said with a look of joy: "It was Li Huan who told me that my Majesty has escaped from danger and returned to Beijing. It is said that Li Huan has done a great job this time!"
Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "If Li Huan hadn't rescued me, I would have been killed by the assassin by now."
Liu Jin, who was treating the wound at the side, muttered softly: "That's just a bastard who doesn't know the heights of the world!"
Hearing Liu Jin's angry words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be confused. Maybe Li Huan didn't save Liu Jin, but he still helped. It is said that even if Liu Jin was not grateful to him, at least he would not be so angry.
Seeing the puzzled look on Zhu Houzhao's face, Du Yu couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about how Liu Jin wanted to accept Li Huan as his son but was beaten severely by Li Huan, so he whispered to Zhu Houzhao in a low voice.
After listening to Du Yu's narration, Zhu Houzhao's expression gradually became weird. Finally, when he heard Li Huan pointing at Liu Jin and yelling, he couldn't help but look at Liu Jin with a strange look, and then laughed.
At this time, Liu Jin's injuries were almost healed. She changed into another coat. Seeing Zhu Houzhao laughing heartily, she couldn't help but said with an extremely aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, you can give me an explanation. As an old slave, how can he Li?"
Huan, a little Jin Yiwei Bai Huan, is the son of an old slave. How can he be wronged?"
Some high-ranking eunuchs had the habit of accepting adopted sons, so Zhu Houzhao was not surprised that Liu Jin wanted to adopt adopted sons.
Looking at Liu Jin's aggrieved look, and thinking about Li Huan's heroic young appearance, Zhu Houzhao nodded seriously and said: "Well, as I see it, if Li Huan is your son, then that's okay.
I really feel wronged."
Liu Jin was not a fool. Just by hearing these words, he knew that Zhu Houzhao must have great regard for Li Huan. However, thinking of Li Huan pointing at his nose and yelling at him in front of so many people, he still felt very aggrieved. He said tentatively:
"Your Majesty, Li Huan has saved his life. I wonder how your Majesty plans to reward him?"
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a while and said: "I haven't thought about it carefully, but he saved me, so naturally I can't treat him poorly. He has high officials, rich salaries, glory and wealth. It's up to him to choose."
Liu Jin frowned and said, "I think it's inappropriate."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help looking at Liu Jin with a bit of displeasure and said: "What? Could it be that because Li Huan rejected you and embarrassed you, you..."
When Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao's tone, he screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He was too impatient. Even if he wanted to plot and smear Li Huan, he shouldn't have chosen this moment. After all, there was only a long way to go. He was really anxious for a moment and messed up his mind.
His mind was racing, Liu Jin knelt down with a thud, and said with an extremely aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, how can this old slave be such a narrow-minded person? Li Huan saved your majesty, which is equivalent to saving this old slave. The old slave is right
It's too late for him to be grateful, so how can he harbor selfish grudges against him? I think it's really inappropriate for your majesty to reward him heavily at this time."
Staring at Liu Jin, as if he wanted to see through Liu Jin, for a while, Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Then tell me, what's wrong?"
Liu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Huan was really in the emperor's heart. Before she said anything bad about Li Huan, she made Zhu Houzhao unhappy. What if...
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Liu Jin said respectfully: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of an old slave, Li Huan is about the same age as your Majesty, but unlike your Majesty, he was born in a heavenly family and has a good education. If your Majesty were to show favor to him, he would suddenly
He was promoted to a high position in the past, and with his youthful mind, I am afraid that it will be harmful to him rather than beneficial."
Hearing what Liu Jin said, Zhu Houzhao's originally cold face softened slightly, and he nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense."
