This was because they were afraid that they had not made some of their words clear and would not achieve their desired goals. Old Mrs. Wei knew this, and so did Liu Cheng. He lowered his voice and said, "I have lived until now, just barely surviving. If I had any dignity, I should not be alive... Now, I am finally going to the underworld to see you and apologize. I will work like a slave for them and go to the eighteenth level of hell..."
The Eighteen Levels of Hell, if this place really exists, that would be great, Old Lady Wei thought to herself, those who received benefits from others and then bit back should really go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Liu Cheng kowtowed to her three times again with a face full of shame: "I didn't want to live at first, and I didn't want others to take advantage of me, but when I saw you, you asked me to tell you, and I couldn't bear to hide it. But Miss, I advise you again, don't listen to them, things are over, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong about what happened back then. The prince... he just made wedding dresses for others, the real sin is not all his. If you really go to find the prince, things can't be reversed. How can the Wei family survive in the future? And the princess, how will she get along with the marquis in the future?"
"I am going to die." Liu Cheng's eyes were firm. His white hair made him look particularly old and miserable on this cloudy day. He bowed to Old Lady Wei again, sighed and said, "When I die, you can pretend that you know nothing and just say that I talked nonsense. Don't ask any questions and leave the palace peacefully... This is the only thing I can do for you."
Once Liu Cheng died, no one could say what he said. Even if Old Madam Wei insisted that she knew nothing, there would be no evidence. She was not going to go and make trouble with Prince Linjiang, so no one could testify what they said or what Old Madam Wei knew.
Mrs. Wei is safe.
But the poison of this plan lies in the fact that they have calculated that Old Mrs. Wei will not be able to get over this hurdle in her heart and will not be able to pretend that nothing has happened.
Old Madam Wei snorted and was about to say something harsh, but Liu Cheng stood up, slowly tidied his appearance, opened the two doors, and smiled at Eunuch Huang: "Eunuch Huang is here? Are you here to do something?"
Eunuch Huang looked at him in surprise, and seeing that Mrs. Wei still had tears on her face, he understood and felt relieved. He hummed and asked Liu Cheng, "Why is Eunuch Liu here?"
If the performance went according to what was agreed in advance, Liu Cheng should now say what Old Madam Wei had forced him to say. Eunuch Huang looked at Liu Cheng with satisfaction, then looked at Old Madam Wei who was still gritting her teeth behind him. He felt that this job was most likely a sure thing, and he was happy, so he urged Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng smiled, and unexpectedly grabbed Eunuch Huang's hand: "Eunuch Huang... I... I'm not very well..."
What?! Eunuch Huang was held tightly by his hand like an eagle's claw. He couldn't pull it out even if he wanted to. He felt as if he had eaten a fly and was so disgusted that he couldn't speak. Seeing Liu Cheng like this, it really wasn't good. Was he going to die here? If he really died here... ...
He glanced at Old Lady Wei, and his previous confidence and gloating were gone in an instant, turning into shock and doubt. He held Liu Cheng's hand, lowered his voice, and paid attention to Old Lady Wei's movements while cursing fiercely: "God damned murderer! What the hell are you doing? You ruined the adults' business, how many heads do you have to pay for it?! I asked you to pass on a message, what did you say to them? Huh?!"
Liu Cheng covered his stomach with one hand, seemingly in great pain, waiting for Eunuch Huang to take another step forward. Suddenly, he vomited a mouthful of blood, which sprayed all over Eunuch Huang's face and body.
Everyone was shocked for a moment. They had not expected this to happen at all and did not know how to react for a moment.
Eunuch Huang also noticed that the hand he was holding was slowly softening. What was going on? ! He came to deliver a message, why did he suddenly become weak? ! Was this thing done or not? ! He had countless doubts in his mind, and thought about getting rid of Liu Cheng and going to find his superiors to clarify the matter.
Otherwise, it will be so unclear and who knows if things will turn out differently from expectations.
Liu Cheng used his last bit of strength to hold his hand and shook his head weakly: "I have done everything I could, and I have no regrets... You take... take the old lady to see the prince..."
Eunuch Huang breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Liu Cheng unable to hold on and falling to the ground, he wiped his face and couldn't help shouting, "Then how did you get into this state?! This... ... We have to inform them and find an imperial physician for you?"
Eunuchs of ordinary rank would never receive such treatment, but people like Liu Cheng can be slightly exempted.
However, Liu Cheng shook his head and refused. He leaned on Eunuch Huang's arm, and when he saw Eunuch Huang squatting down, he coughed weakly a few times: "Don't bother, it would be better if I died. This is all destined, it's nothing, but I have done what I wanted to do, and I have a clear conscience... ... Don't worry."
Does this mean that the Xu and Qin families originally planned to let people die after they had used them? Eunuch Huang's heart skipped a beat, but then he understood with a sense of grief. Yes, this is something that the Xu and Qin families would do. Anyway, Liu Cheng told Old Lady Wei what he said, and no one else could prove it. As long as Liu Cheng died, who would know who was behind Liu Cheng saying these things
He sighed, not caring that Liu Cheng was now covered in blood and dirt, and nodded with pity: "Don't worry, I will take care of your disciples for you."
Being an eunuch is a hard life. Apart from money, it is not known what else to seek. Most of them either marry or hire vegetable farmers, or adopt godchildren. They just want to have a good image. Liu Cheng has several godsons.
Liu Cheng nodded with a wry smile, as if to thank Eunuch Huang. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Old Madam Wei who was staring at him with complicated eyes behind him. He said a few words silently, then he could not hold on any longer. His head tilted and he went limp.
Before he died, he was still persuading Old Lady Wei to let it go.
Old Lady Wei was not unmoved. In her eyes, the man in front of her deserved death. He took advantage of the kindness of the Ming family and hid in the Ming family for more than ten years. Then he used his understanding of the Ming family and the Ming family's trust in him to frame and slander them, bringing the Ming family to ruin. But at the same time, he was also Old Lady Wei's playmate since childhood, and he was like a brother to her.
He has now come to his senses and died here for her. Old Mrs. Wei looked at him in silence for a long time before she let out a sigh. (To be continued)
