Prince Linjiang is different from the previous Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing was indecisive, suspicious and hesitant, but Prince Linjiang is different. He has actually been on the battlefield and killed people. He is shrouded in an indescribable aura. Now is the time when he is in high spirits, and he exudes an aura from the inside out that makes people want to retreat. As soon as Eunuch Huang came in, he couldn't help but kneel down on the ground with a plop because his legs went soft.
This gentleman was different from other superiors. He did not take the eunuchs' lives seriously. It should be said that he was very similar to his grandfather and father. He could still maintain the most basic rationality and tolerance towards ministers, but he was extremely harsh on the eunuchs. He would not let them off easily if they made the slightest mistake. At first, Eunuch Huang thought that the King of Linjiang asked him to come to ask about Liu Cheng. He had already prepared a plan in his mind, but when he saw the King of Linjiang, his face and the Jinyiwei standing around him, he immediately felt a chill all over his body, and a chill rose from his spine.
It seemed that things were not as he thought. Even if he was slow-witted, he could see that Prince Linjiang seemed extremely angry... After all, he had followed Eunuch Man for many years and had done many things for Prince Linjiang. He knew Prince Linjiang quite well. Seeing him like this, he began to quickly calculate in his mind the reasons why he was so angry.
After thinking about it more, he felt that it must be related to what he had said to the old lady before.
Could it be that the matter had already been done, and that Old Madam Wei had already sought her own death and trouble? This was not impossible... ... On the way here, he had already asked several of his colleagues indirectly, and knew that Old Madam Wei was carried out on the Changchun stool, which meant that Old Madam Wei must have fainted from anger, or was... ... Yes, others did not know about his master, but did he know about it? When he got angry, he might draw his sword and chop people.
If this was true, then King Linjiang's anger was not directed at him. The fear in his heart suddenly subsided a little. Although he still looked trembling on the surface, he was not so panicked in his heart. He knelt on the ground waiting for King Linjiang's questioning.
Prince Linjiang looked at him deeply. Sitting behind the long table, it was unclear what his expression was. After a long while, he asked him in a calm voice, "Did you bring Old Madam Wei in?"
Eunuch Huang knew that he couldn't get away with it, so he immediately bowed his head and kowtowed again: "To answer your question, I brought Madam Wei in. Because you were busy at the time, I took Madam Wei to the side hall to wait for a while..."
This is the normal process. Besides, the Xu family has already arranged these things very well. Prince Linjiang was indeed busy with the affairs of the court before. There have been some remarks in the court that are unfavorable to him recently. These ministers should have a good discussion with Prince Linjiang. Prince Linjiang knew what was going on, so he kept them for a while longer to let them speak clearly so that he could deal with them according to the final conclusion.
There was nothing wrong with these things, so Eunuch Huang spoke with confidence: "It's just that later on, Mrs. Wei somehow recognized Eunuch Liu. I don't know how she knew Eunuch Liu..." He tried to keep his tone calm, as if he was really just stating something he knew: "Later, Mrs. Wei got very excited and wanted to talk to Eunuch Liu alone... Because she was the elder of the Marquis, we didn't dare to be disrespectful, and her request was not excessive, so we all obediently left..."
People who are used to working in the palace are usually very cautious in their words, and rarely give others any chance to find fault with them. King Linjiang looked at him for a while, feeling uncertain, and then asked, "What did they say? Do you know?"
Eunuch Huang was extremely alert and did not dare to be careless. He shook his head hurriedly and said, "The old lady asked me to wait outside and asked for good tea... I went out to ask a few questions myself. When I came back, I saw that the door was still closed, so I did not dare to disturb her. Later, Liu Cheng suddenly opened the door..."
So far, these words are consistent with what Old Lady Wei said. Prince Linjiang hummed and asked, "And then? What did Liu Cheng say to you?"
"Eunuch Liu told me..." Eunuch Huang seemed a little hesitant and didn't dare to say anything for a while. When Prince Linjiang coughed impatiently, he was startled and hurriedly continued: "Eunuch Liu told me that he was sorry to Old Madam Wei and to you..." He seemed to be very scared. After saying this, he collapsed to the ground. Then he remembered something and kowtowed quickly: "I was in a state of panic and didn't know what was going on. Later, Eunuch Liu actually fell down. His face turned blue and it seemed that he was not going to survive..."
Prince Linjiang became a little impatient and raised his voice to ask him: "Let me ask you, do you know what they said on earth?!" Old Lady Wei said that Liu Cheng said nothing, and that Liu Cheng was forced to see Old Lady Wei. She also said that Eunuch Huang deliberately let her see Liu Cheng, so this matter must not be that simple.
As far as he knew, Liu Cheng had been behaving himself ever since he came back from Yunnan. He had not even shown his face much. Over the years, he had been doing his job seriously and carefully, and had never appeared in public. It was absolutely impossible for Liu Cheng to appear in front of Old Madam Wei without anyone's arrangement.
He figured this out, leaning back in his chair and lazily staring at Eunuch Huang, his voice suddenly cold: "You have served me for so many years, and I didn't know you could tell lies so smoothly."
These words were so shocking that Eunuch Huang felt as if the string in his heart had broken. He immediately kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, I dare not! I absolutely do not have such an intention!"
Whether he had such intentions or not was not revealed by words, but was determined by interrogation. King Linjiang looked at him coldly and sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?! If you can do it, team up to plot against me!"
When the Prince of Linjiang gets angry, he will draw his sword and kill people! Eunuch Huang was so scared that he almost peed his pants, and burst into tears: "Your Highness, where did you get that from? Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to lie to you..."
"Bullshit! Don't I know what you guys are thinking? You take advantage of your status in front of me to bully others and act like a tyrant outside, in front of their godfather..." Linjiang Wang laughed in anger: "But this is nothing. If you want to serve me well, you should get some benefits, but you actually turned around and plotted against me! Who is Liu Cheng? Why did he appear in Fengtian Palace for no reason? Even if he was on duty, his job is not something you can arrange. I remember I have said that he can choose from the 24 government offices, and he chose the most leisurely place... He was fine, and if no one reminded him, he would appear at Old Lady Wei's place by chance. Do you think I am a fool?!" (To be continued)
