"presumptuous!"
The angry rebuke, accompanied by the sound of a teacup smashing, startled the eunuchs and guards outside the door.
They hadn't seen their master so angry for a long time.
And they are the two people that the master values the most, Yuan Wu and Yuan Liu.
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Feng Han looked at Yuan Wu with an icy look in his eyes: "When did it become your turn to point fingers and make random comments about my affairs?"
Yuan Wu knelt on the ground with a thud: "Master, I have overstepped my authority. Please punish me!"
He thought his master would be angry, but he never thought his master would be so angry.
Yuan Wu even felt a little regretful.
The master was already in a bad mood, and he touched upon his inner pain at this moment, which was truly a crime worthy of death.
Xiaoliu also knelt on the ground, no longer daring to laugh and joke like usual.
Feng Han closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said with a sullen face: "Get out of here and accept your punishment."
His cold eyes swept over Yuan Liu who was standing aside, and he ordered coldly: "Xiao Liu, you will carry out the thirty lashes yourself."
“This…?” Yuan Liu didn’t expect that he would be asked to do it himself.
He and Xiaowu grew up together, trained together, and worked together for their master.
He could be ruthless towards his enemies, but he couldn't bear to do it to his own brothers.
In fact, he still hasn't figured out why his master suddenly got so angry.
Seeing him hesitate, Feng Han's face darkened.
Yuan Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
"Thank you, sir, for showing mercy." Yuan Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
He had no resentment and even felt that his master was giving him such a light punishment because he had followed him for many years and was being lenient with him.
Feng Han regained his composure and waved his hand: "Go down."
"yes."
Yuan Wu and Xiao Liu saluted, quickly retreated and walked out of the inner hall.
*
The two did not dare to speak until they walked a long way away, then Xiao Liu could not help but bumped into the silent Yuan Wu.
"What's wrong with you? You clearly know the master... Why did you think of that?"
Although the master now controls the Jinyiwei in addition to the Dongchang, he was originally a eunuch.
No matter how good-looking he is, no matter how outstanding his talents are, getting married and having children is a luxury and a taboo for him.
It is precisely because of this that the royal family was not prepared from the beginning and allowed their master's power to grow to its current level.
Yuan Wu looked solemn, as if he had not heard what he said and was thinking about something of his own.
Xiaoliu stopped him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"You have always reminded me to be careful with my words, especially in this regard, and never mention it, so as not to hurt the master's face and heart. How could you knowingly do it today?"
Having followed their master for so long, they all knew that their master cared about this matter extremely.
On weekdays, whether it was bathing or changing clothes, he never asked anyone to do it for him. Even he and Xiaowu were not allowed to get close to him, because he didn't want others to see his mutilated body.
It is impossible for Xiaowu to knowingly do something bad and violate his master's taboo in this regard.
Yuan Wu rubbed his aching temple and sighed helplessly:
"The master values Miss Su, but he doesn't want to cultivate her or train her to be his subordinate. Instead, he... appreciates her."
"It's no big deal to be appreciated. Who says that if someone is appreciated, you have to marry him or her as a concubine?"
