The emperor felt desolate. He thought that he controlled all the power in his hands. Anyone who didn’t agree with him in court was either suppressed by him or accused of various crimes because of his suspicions.
At this critical moment, he actually didn’t have anyone to use.
There were only those who only knew how to flatter him all day long but did not have any real ability.
He glanced at Eunuch Li and seemed to have made up his mind. He moved his eyes with difficulty and looked in a certain direction.
Eunuch Li followed his gaze and looked in the direction of the door. Apart from an incense burner in the middle, there was nothing else. He asked with a bitter expression, “Your Majesty, are you asking me to get out?”
No, the emperor was furious, but he could not flare up. He could only blink twice.
Wasn’t this what he said when he lied to Lord Rui during the day? Eunuch Li understood and thought for a moment before asking, ‘Your Majesty, do you want me to take something?”
The emperor blinked once.
However, there was only an incense burner there. The incense burner had to be cleaned and changed every day. It was obvious that what the emperor wanted could not be inside.
The emperor continued to roll his eyes.
Eunuch Li was stunned. He reacted and asked, “Is the thing in the jade pillow?” The emperor blinked again.
Eunuch Li gritted his teeth. “Your Majesty, please forgive any offense.”
Unexpectedly, just as he picked up the emperor’s head, a cold voice came from behind. “Eunuch Li, how about I help you?”
Eunuch Li trembled in fear. He let go of the emperor’s head which smashed back onto the jade pillow.
One didn’t have to look at his expression to know how painful it was just from the sound.
However, Eunuch Li couldn’t care less. He didn’t know how much Shangguan Pu had heard, so he could only force himself to calm down. He turned around and squeezed out a smile. “Your Highness, you’re here.”
Shangguan Pu walked to the bed and looked down at the twisted emperor. He raised his eyebrows. “Oh dear. How do you serve others? Look at how much you’ve hurt my father.”
Eunuch Li could not figure out what he meant, so he could only kowtow and admit his mistake. “I deserve to die.”
“Indeed, you deserve to die. Hurry up and help my father up. Didn’t he want to take something? I’ll help him take it.”
Eunuch Li was stunned. When he met the emperor’s eyes that were about to pop out, he lowered his head and did not dare to look again. He only carefully reached out and helped him up again.
Shangguan Pu pulled out the jade pillow and glanced at the emperor. He used his internal energy to shatter the jade pillow.
A half tiger talisman fell out.
“This is the tiger talisman which controls the 100,000 city guards?” Shangguan Pu picked it up and sneered. “Eunuch Li, who are you preparing to give this to?”
“Of course… Of course it’s for Your Highness.” Eunuch Li smiled awkwardly and said obsequiously, “Hasn’t His Highness been looking for this? I deliberately lied to Your Majesty just now to help His Highness find this.”
“Is that so?” Lord Jing didn’t say whether he believed it or not. Instead, he looked at the Emperor with sympathy. “Father, do you see this? This is the person you trust. I feel sorry for you. You treat the person you shouldn’t trust like a treasure.”
“You’re clearly an evil person, but you still want a good reputation. You’re really vicious and hypocritical.”
“Who can you blame for ending up like this?”
“Unfilial son, you unfilial son.” the emperor thought.
The emperor could not speak. He could only glare at the person above to show his anger.
Shangguan Pu shook his head. “If you hadn’t spared Song Jingchen’s life back then, you wouldn’t have known about the kidnapped girls, and I wouldn’t have attacked you in advance. Isn’t this predestined by the heavens?”
“But Father, don’t worry. Haven’t you always wanted Song Jingchen’s life? Not to mention anything else, I’ll definitely do this for you. I’ll let you have a companion when you leave.”
The emperor was so angry that his breathing quickened and he fainted.
If not for the fact that the conditions did not allow it, Eunuch Li would have fainted. What he regretted the most now was why he let Eunuch Deng go back and rest.
“Eunuch Li.” Shangguan Pu looked at him.
Eunuch Li broke out in cold sweat. “Your Highness, what can I do for you?”
Shangguan Pu smiled coldly. “Father is awake, but he still needs to recuperate.
Don’t let anyone disturb him in the future.”
Was he trying to completely imprison the emperor?
Eunuch Li gasped. “What about the concubines in the harem?”
“My mother will take care of those people. You just have to send those ministers back.”
“By the way, from tomorrow onwards, I’ll get Commander MO to send people to guard outside day and night. Eunuch Li, don’t do anything to make me unhappy. ”
Eunuch Li was the most trusted person by the emperor’s side. Shangguan Pu still needed him for something, so he naturally wouldn’t kill him.
Eunuch Li’s heart turned cold. The last thing Shangguan Pu needed was for him to read the imperial edict, right?
At the same time, Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia learned from the old prince what had happened in the imperial study that day.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and could not help but confirm again. “So there was something wrong with the emperor when you went in?”
How stupid was this person?
