Chapter 250: The Beginning of Revenge
"Grandpa, go find someone to stop the fight and tell them not to use the knife. I'll go talk to Aye."
The fat eunuch who had difficulty moving stood up suddenly and was extremely agile.
After saying "Thank you, Your Highness", he hurried away.
His posture is so flexible and agile.
When he went there, he saw the little boy had been tied to the rack and had his pants stripped off. A man surrounding him was holding a sharp knife and roasting him over the fire.
"Stop! Stop!"
He ordered the sentencing to end.
The child was untied and put on his pants without saying a word.
Jiang Zhixian calmed his breathing and gasped.
"Pity my old arms and legs. I haven't run fast for many years."
"You kid, you suddenly asked someone to tell me that you don't want to be a eunuch anymore."
"I'm so tired, huh~huh~"
He panted as he spoke.
"I was worried that other people would be slow to pass on the message to you, and you would be completely wiped out."
Jiang Zhixian fanned his collar to dissipate the heat from running.
Long Shou, who was put down, bowed to him solemnly: "Thank you, father."
The word "father" made Jiang Zhixian's heart soften.
Although he cannot have his own children, having raised him to this age, what's the difference between that and having his own children?
"Get up, don't do this suddenly."
Long Shou: "...Oh."
Being stared at by his adoptive father, Long Shou felt a little nervous.
A voice came from above: "You..."
"Ugh!"
"Although His Majesty hasn't spoken yet, Princess Tianwu will go and plead for you. There shouldn't be much of a problem with this matter."
Long Shou was confused: "Princess, please plead for me?"
Eunuch Jiang: “…Is this the point?”
"Without purification, you cannot stay in the inner palace."
"Go back and pack your belongings. When you get the news from there, leave the palace immediately."
Long Shou was touched on the head by him.
"That's perfect. It's rare for you to go home."
"After you go back, you won't have to serve anyone anymore."
"Stay at home, and when you grow up, get married and have children like ordinary people."
"Give Aye some grandchildren."
The little boy bit his lip, looking unwilling.
"Aye, I have my own ideas."
"Perhaps it's the imperial examination, joining the army, or doing business."
“I think there is a way out.”
"In short, I can't just sit there in the general's mansion and be an idler, waiting for Aye to arrange for me to get married and have children."
The fat eunuch above his head made a "tsk" sound.
"Whatever, whatever you want, but please think it over for me, and don't tell me you're sorry when the time comes."
"Do you understand, little ancestor?"
Long Shou rolled up his sleeves and put his hands in his pockets guiltily, then nodded obediently.
"I know, I know."
The incident involving Long Shou was just a small episode.
When she first came through, Bei Jing initially disliked this little scumbag.
But now I have completely let it go. I just think of it as a way of doing Eunuch Jiang a favor and will not bother about things that have not happened.
Soon, she forgot about this person.
That day, she took a break from her busy schedule to listen to music in the Rain Tower.
And this leisure time is not completely for leisure and fun.
She squinted her eyes and fell asleep to the sound of the actor's piano.
Not long after, Haoyue nudged her and said softly, "Your Highness, the Minister of the Central Secretariat has arrived."
She opened her eyes, and Xu Lanqi bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Bei Jingchu waved his hand, and Haoyue asked the actors and Xu family servants to leave, while he stood guard outside the door.
She raised her hand, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Lanqi.
There was no rush to get to the point, just chatting like old friends.
When the time was right, he began to test Xu Lanqi's opinion on the succession.
The old fox suddenly mentioned another person: "The Sixth Prince is eight years old. I heard that he is also a rare smart man in Hongwenguan and is loved by the teacher."
"It's just not as good as your Highness's level that no one could match in the past."
"Compared to you, His Highness the Sixth Prince obviously has a greater advantage."
[Oh no, I got bargained. ]
Bei Jingchu raised the corner of his mouth with a forced smile.
[Do you think this princess is a cabbage in the market? You put me together with other royal heirs for you to choose and trade with, right? ]
Her inner thoughts reached Haoyue's ears at the door. She pursed her lips silently, held her breath, and prayed for the Minister of the Central Secretariat in the house.
Mom, don't irritate her.
Bei Jingchu in the room did not get angry, but instead spoke seriously: "Compared to me, the only advantage they have is the prejudice of the world of Da Yue."
"But the prejudice of the world is only one of the countless difficulties."
"As long as we overcome this, do you think my brothers will be better than me when faced with other difficult tests?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what I think."
After she finished explaining the reason, she put away her smile and began to attack: "The Minister of the Central Secretariat is the emperor's confidant and a close minister to the emperor."
"Logically, you should be loyal to His Majesty, right?"
Xu Lanqi on the other side was slightly uneasy, but he maintained his composure and said, "Of course I am loyal to Your Majesty."
The little princess who had just tried to bargain with him uttered two words coldly and clearly: "Lie."
"Your loyalty to His Majesty has its limits."
"You can't commit treason or rebellion."
"But when it comes to establishing a crown prince, you have your own plans."
"Remember when I was born, my two elder brothers died young, and you proposed to adopt the son of Prince Huayuan as the heir to the throne."
Xu Lanqi paused, his body visibly stiffened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Bei Jingchu guessed what he was afraid of and chuckled, "Your Majesty doesn't hold a grudge, and that's not what Your Majesty told me."
"I remember it myself."
Xu Lanqi: ???
"Your Highness means..."
"Yes, I remember it as a baby."
After a pause, Bei Jingchu added: "Do you remember you pinched my face when Xu Shaoqing took me out of the palace?"
Xu Lanqi:!
"Oh, by the way, you also said that His Majesty is a heart thing."
Xu Lanqi: ! !
"You also said that I was young and couldn't file a complaint even if I heard it."
Xu Lanqi clasped his hands together and worshiped devoutly: "Your Highness, good Your Highness, please forget it."
Bei Jingchu pouted her lips proudly and said, "Hmph, I can't forget anything at all."
She holds a grudge!
After making the joke, she straightened her expression and returned to the topic, staring straight at Xu Lanqi with her big, clear eyes.
It made him feel creepy, as if someone could see through him as if their soul could be searched.
"You already had a candidate in mind at that time, so you must have reached some agreement with Prince Huayuan."
"From then on, I knew you had selfish motives."
"The Xu family has produced a minister, which is already a great success. You cannot get promoted yourself."
"Then what you are praying for must be a change of dynasty, so that your children can have a good future."
"The Xu family holds a high position in your heart."
