Herod, the chief eunuch, looked at the large bag of silver sent by the prince, and his face was longer than a bitter gourd: "Your Majesty, please spare this servant! I really don't dare to do such a treasonous thing!"
Zhong Langyao's face sank: "Isn't it just adding some deer blood to the old man's food? It's not poison, so what are you afraid of!"
"But, but, can the emperor bear to eat that food? What if..."
"If anything happens, even if it happens, then the new emperor is me, so what are you afraid of? I'm warning you, if you don't help with this matter, don't ask me for help in the future!"
Zhong Langyao's move is the most effective. Who dares to offend the future emperor and who doesn't want to have a bright future, but this is too risky!
"Then, let's give it a try! But if something happens to the emperor, Prince, you have to spare this slave's life!" Herod begged tremblingly.
Zhong Langyao waved his hand: "Okay, okay, as long as you handle this matter well, everything else is easy to deal with. By the way, if the old man wants to turn over the cards, remember to turn over Zheng Shufei's, otherwise our work will be in vain."
Herod sighed secretly in his heart, this, this is too difficult to be a slave, forget it, for the rest of his life, I will take a gamble!
Zhong Yehan's dinner has always been provided by the imperial kitchen, under the control of Herod, the general manager, so it is very convenient for him to do anything. When he tremblingly put the deer blood into the duck soup, his heart was still beating "thump, thump". I committed the crime of deceiving the emperor by doing this. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely die. ah!
Zhong Yehan had a good appetite tonight, but he was not interested in duck soup and only ate some light food. Herod stood nearby, praying in his heart, saying to his heart, Your Majesty, just eat that bowl of duck soup! Otherwise, all my hard work will be in vain.
Zhong Yehan finally picked up the spoon, but instead of going into the duck soup, he reached over the duck meat and into the pigeon soup.
Herod's heart went from hope to disappointment, and he said in his heart, O Emperor! Don't you usually like duck soup? Why don't you take a bite today? If I had known this, I should have mixed deer blood into pigeon soup, hey! There's no point regretting it now, let's see if there will be a miracle next. Zhong Yehan ate some food, then waved his hand: "Withdraw!"
Herod's head buzzed, and he said in his heart that his work today was in vain. However, he did not give up. He advised Zhong Yehan: "Your Majesty, why do you only eat so much? How can this be okay? You should eat more!"
Zhong Yehan shook his head: "I have a bad appetite today, so I won't eat."
Herod pretended to be very loyal: "Your Majesty, you only eat this little, and my servant feels distressed. How about you add some more duck soup?" Herod said and filled it without Zhong Yehan's permission. A bowl of duck soup was handed over.
Zhong Yehan didn't think much, picked up the spoon and took a sip: "Why does today's duck soup taste so weird? I won't drink it anymore, so I'll give it to you!"
Herod's face turned pale when he heard this: "Your Majesty, how can I drink this thing? I don't dare!"
Zhong Yehan immediately became alert when he heard this. Isn't this just duck soup? What dare you say: "Drink, drink it all for me!"
Herod felt so wronged! Your Majesty, what is going on today? Why do you have to let me drink this bowl of duck soup? If I drink it, I will be busy today in vain. How can I, an imperfect person, drink this aphrodisiac? What should I do if this happens? good!
Zhong Yehan looked at Herod's slightly trembling hands: "Are you going to drink or not?"
"Drink, slave! Drink now, slave!" Herod knew he couldn't escape, so he just raised his neck and drank up all the duck soup. Only then did Zhong Yehan sit down with satisfaction: "It's over, it's over."
Several young eunuchs immediately took the plates away carefully. Zhong Yehan slowly stood up and said to Herod: "Follow me to the imperial study. I still have a few memorials that I have not approved."
"Slave, you obey!" Herod had no other choice but to obey at this time.
