"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Fu accepted the order and left with the Petition.
He wondered if the Retired Emperor would be completely enraged upon seeing this list. This ti, it should count as a thorough extermination of the Retired Emperor’s faction, right?
He dared not delay, ordered a transcription, and imdiately prepared to send soone to the Supre Palace.
However, thinking that the Emperor might want to hear the Retired Emperor’s reaction to the Petition, he dismissed the person who was about to be sent and decided to go himself.
Just as the Emperor didn’t need him at the mont, he had enough ti to visit the Supre Palace.
...
In the Supre Palace, the Retired Emperor cautiously watched the two Paper Persons staring at him, wishing he could kill them, though they were the kind that couldn’t be killed, which was deeply unsettling.
Especially now when every part of his body was in pain because he had been beaten several tis by the two Paper Persons.
Clearly, he hadn’t even thought of contacting anyone outside, yet sotis doing sothing trivial would be misunderstood as an attempt to reach out, and then get him beaten.
Being beaten was still the better part; these two Paper Persons truly beat him to the verge of death!
With every strike, it would cause the eunuchs and palace maids in the Supre Palace to busy themselves for half a day, as the old man was either vomiting blood or had broken limbs.
Currently, his right hand had a fractured bone, several ribs were broken, and the small bone in his left leg was fractured too.
He could only lie on the bed, unable to get up. He could genuinely rest, as he couldn’t do anything and could only be tended to by the eunuchs and palace maids. Dangerous things were unnecessary.
"You all, make them leave."
After the eunuch ca in, he instructed the two eunuchs, unable to bear the stare from those two Paper Persons anymore.
What is this, he was already lying on the bed unable to move, why were they still watching him? Could he still manage to do anything like this?
To contact the outside, at least he would have to write sothing and send it out, right?
He was so frightened that he had soone get rid of all writing materials from the Supre Palace; what more did they want?
The eunuch heard the Retired Emperor’s command, turned to glance at the two, who for the Retired Emperor were glaring like tigers watching their prey, but for them brought no pressure.
"Retired Emperor, those two were sent by the princes; the servants can’t manage them. Why don’t you try telling them yourself?"
He would not do such a thankless task. Those two were obviously not normal, no need for food, sleep, nor to relieve themselves.
With this, did he dare to say anything to them?
He still had to work, not wanting to beco disabled like the Retired Emperor.
They knew all too well the fate of servants who were unable to work in this palace. Hence, they had to remain healthy.
"They’ve been following the Retired Emperor, maybe they’ll listen to the Retired Emperor," he said.
Retired Emperor: "..."
Did they believe he would command the outsiders to drag this damn servant out and execute him?
Those two kept staring unblinkingly at him; would they listen to his words? Were they blind? Didn’t they see how many injuries he had?
Those were all caused by the two Paper Persons; did they expect them to listen to him after all that? This wretched servant dared say anything, thinking that would flatter him?
