A Hundred Ways To Kill A Heartthrob

Chapter 2: Kill the Emperor (2)

Views:

The night is getting darker.

Shen Jue went back to his house first.

As the eunuch next to Emperor Murong Xiu, he had a single room.

He coughed and took off his soaked clothes. His fair and thin body was covered with whip marks, and there were many old scars on his skin.

This body is ugly, and it can't be called beauty at all. Especially his mutilated lower body.

Shen Jue looked down for a while before raising her head.

When Murong Xiu was a prince, he was often bullied by other princes, and Shen Jue, as his personal eunuch, was severely beaten. After all, for the punishment of the master, the slaves have to take the place. Over the years, I don't know how many scars he has on his body.

Shen Jue put on some clean clothes, wiped his wet hair, and sat in front of the bronze mirror.

Murong Xiu was a well-known beauty in the Zhou Dynasty, otherwise the regent wouldn't have seen his face, so he decided to support him. The love of ancient and modern times is caused by "color". Shen Jue looked at himself calmly, and felt that he had nothing to do with the word "color" now.

With a bland face and a mutilated body, it was extremely unlikely that Murong Xiu would like him.

Shen Jue reached out and brushed the mirror surface, his fingers were much rougher than the mirror surface, which was the reason for doing a lot of hard work. He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the mirror and couldn't help but smile.

It all doesn't matter because the real Shin Jue is back.

If the way of heaven is not benevolent, I would like to rewrite the way of heaven with blood.

But now the first thing he has to do is recuperate.

The group of people who beat him were dead hands. If Murong Xiu hadn't cared about him a little, they would have killed him directly.

Shen Jue climbed onto the cold bed and buried his head and face in the quilt. He should have gone to Murong Xiu's place to recover his life first, but he was really disgusted by Murong Xiu, so he didn't want to go.

Shen Jue slept directly until dawn the next day, when a little eunuch broke in and woke him up.

"Shen Jue, why are you still sleeping?"

Shen Jue felt that a hand lifted his quilt, and he couldn't help frowning. Although he slept for a long time, he did not sleep well. He had a fever in the middle of the night. He could only resist it, and the pain made him even more uncomfortable.

Shen Jue is now a mortal, unable to use immortal magic. Fortunately, his body, although it was a rotten life, can be regarded as a hard life. After countless beatings, he has survived well, and there is no root of the disease.

Feng Qingbao was stunned when he saw that the boy on the bed didn't get up at the first time, and burrowed into the quilt. He has been working with Shen Jue for more than a year. Not to mention, Shen Jue is the most disciplined among their group of little eunuchs.

Although he was the most popular eunuch by the emperor's side, he never claimed to be the eunuch supervisor, which is why Feng Qingbao dared to break into his room.

"Shen Jue, wake up, the emperor... the emperor is already angry." Feng Qingbao said hesitantly.

Shen Jue didn't go to serve last night. Although the emperor's face was good, he also asked a question. Seeing that Shen Jue didn't come this morning, after a moment of silence, he said: "Shen Jue was punished yesterday, Feng Qingbao, you go and see him, if he is injured If it’s serious, go to the imperial doctor.”

Shen Jue listened to the chattering voice in her ear, and was so annoyed that she barely opened one eye, and after seeing that it was Feng Qingbao, she closed her eyes again, "My body hurts so badly that I can't get up, you help me to follow him. The king speaks."

Feng Qingbao was stunned for a moment, "How does this work? You go by yourself."

Shen Jue heard the words, turned around, and said coldly, "Then you go out."

Feng Qingbao was speechless, hating that Shen Jue didn't know what to do, stood up and went out, and deliberately slammed the door shut when he closed. And Shen Jue in the room didn't care at all, he indented into the quilt again.

In that room, Feng Qingbao walked to the door of the imperial study, quickly put away his anger, and walked cautiously into the hall.

Murong Xiu was sitting on the dragon chair, and when he saw Feng Qingbao coming alone, his eyes became slightly turbulent.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Shen can't get out of bed yet." Although Feng Qingbao was angry, he still said a few words to Shen Jue in Murong Xiu, "When the servants went, Eunuch Shen still had a fever."

Murong Xiu lowered his eyes. In fact, he was a little complicated about Shen Jue. If Shen Jue hadn't barged in yesterday, I'm afraid that the Prince Regent didn't know what he had done. A bit embarrassed.

Reading at zero

Everyone in the palace knew that he was the puppet emperor, but they didn't know what the regent thought about him, and now Shen Jue knew.

Thinking of this, Murong Xiu raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and said a little tiredly, "Go and ask an imperial doctor to take Shen Jue's pulse, he..." He paused, "He's injured, so it's better to rest for a while. "

Feng Qingbao responded and quickly turned around and went out.

After Murong Xiu gave the order, he temporarily put the matter on hold, but to his surprise, Shen Jue did not appear in front of him for the next half month. Even the regent found out, and laughed: "What's wrong with that ugly eunuch beside you? Dead?"

Murong Xiu's eyes changed slightly, "Is he dead, doesn't the Prince Regent know? It's yours who started it."

The prince regent saw Murong Xiu's face changed slightly, and his mockery deepened. He even stretched out a hand and touched Murong Xiu's chin playfully, "If he didn't have eyes to break in last time, how could I have called someone to be punished? What about him? As a slave, being obedient is the most important thing."

The Prince Regent had something to say, Murong Xiu frowned.

The prince regent said again: "I see that the people who are serving you are not smart enough, so let's take advantage of this time to change them all."

Murong Xiu refused, "I'm used to their service."

The Prince Regent raised his eyebrows. He had something to do later, so he didn't stay for a long time and left. He felt that sometimes he couldn't push too hard.

Murong Xiu then called Feng Qingbao in.

"How's Shen Jue's injury?"

Feng Qingbao had a strange expression on his face when he heard this.

These days, he goes to Shen Jue every day, but for some reason, he always feels that Shen Jue is different from before.

like...

It's like changing someone!

Shen Jue had always hunched his back and looked cowardly. But these days, not only did he straighten his back, but his behavior and actions were different from those in the past. Sometimes when Shen Jue looked at him, he felt a little scared.

Feng Qingbao went to see Shen Jue every day. Naturally, he knew that Shen Jue's injury was getting better, but he couldn't persuade Shen Jue to come to serve him. Shen Jue is now sitting in the house every day.

Seeing that Feng Qingbao was speechless, Murong Xiu frowned, "Speak!"

Feng Qingbao knelt to the ground at once, "Your Majesty, the servants dare not lie, but the servants don't know what to say."

This sentence made Murong Xiu frown even deeper.

He put down the pen, his mind turned slightly, and he stood up directly, "Place the car, I will go and see Shen Jue."

Murong Xiu had never been to the place where the eunuch lived. He looked at the cramped house in front of him and the wet bluestone slabs, his expression a little unclear. When Murong Xiu was a prince, although he was not favored, he lived in a palace, and his food and clothing were not much different.

He was born to be superior, and he has never seen a place where others are subordinate.

Feng Qingbao stood behind Murong Xiu with his back hunched over, not daring to let out the air. He didn't expect that Murong Xiu would come to the place where they lived in a condescending manner. The eunuchs they served in front of the royal family returned to rest here except for their regular night vigils.

Murong Xiu frowned, raised his legs and walked forward. The further he walked, the darker his face became, and when he arrived at the door of the house where Shen Jue lived, his eyes were so heavy that no one dared to look directly.

He stopped in front of the door, Feng Qingbao hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Eunuch Shen."

sound from the room.

Murong Xiu stood at the door and heard footsteps from far and near. When the door was opened from the inside, he naturally raised his eyes and looked over.

The young man behind the door was thin and pale. When he saw him, he seemed to smile, but he didn't. Before Murong Xiu could see it, he saw that the young man was already kneeling on the ground.

"The slaves meet the emperor."

Murong Xiu didn't let Shen Jue up immediately.

"Is your wound healed?"

Shen Jue's knees were in close contact with the cold floor tiles, "If you go back to the emperor, the minion's injury will be almost healed."

Then why don't you return to the imperial court

This was what Murong Xiu wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask it in front of so many people.

"Get up and talk, do you have any tea?" Murong Xiu walked into the room and waved to the group of palace servants behind him.

The palace staff immediately retreated, and for a while, only Murong Xiu and Shen Jue were left in the room. Shen Jue got up from the ground, lowered his head and said, "This servant has no tea, only some white water."

Murong Xiu didn't come to drink tea, so he didn't care much, he looked at the furnishings in the lower room.

The room was extremely rudimentary, just a bed, a table, and two stools.

There was also an empty medicine bowl on the table with brown residue on the bottom.

After Murong Xiu finished examining, he turned to look at Shen Jue.

"You..." He started and stopped.

Shen Jue lowered his head and said nothing.

Murong Xiu hesitated for a while before continuing: "It's useless for me, I can't protect you. If you have any resentment in your heart, you should. If you want to leave the palace, I will allow it."

After he finished speaking, he waited for Shen Jue's reaction.

Murong Xiu understood Shen Jue. Although Shen Jue was not the smartest person and not good-looking, he was very loyal, otherwise he would not have kept Shen Jue by his side. He said these words, but to test the other side by retreating.

He knew that Shen Jue was an orphan, and that a eunuch could not survive after leaving the palace.

Shen Jue did not have the ability to marry a wife and have children.

What surprised Murong Xiu was that Shen Jue was silent.

After Murong Xiu was surprised, he became a little angry, so angry that Shen Jue didn't know what to do.

If it wasn't for him, Shen Jue would have been beaten to death.

Murong Xiu's expression turned cold. He didn't want to stay in this shabby house any longer. He raised his leg and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his leg, Shen Jue knelt down and hugged his leg.
