Capítulo 1974: Chapter 1974: Trouble
The Emperor frowned and muttered to himself: “This ti it’s a disaster, it seems the Pri Minister can’t be saved.”
Eunuch Li, standing behind him, asked curiously: “Your Majesty, what do you an by this?”
Wasn’t it just Lord Liu visiting the War Prince’s Mansion? The Emperor is really exaggerating, isn’t he?
“You probably don’t know yet? Lord Liu is the War Prince’s man. Today, he went to the War Prince’s Mansion; they’re definitely conspiring to kill the Pri Minister. In this case, is there any way for the Pri Minister to survive? Alas! My influence is once again weakened by Long Rui.”
That day, in Taihe Hall, the Emperor was infuriated by Long Rui and in a mont of anger, sent the Pri Minister to The Court of Judicial Review, handing The Petition of the People to Lord Liu as well. After returning to the bedchamber, he regretted it deeply, realizing he should have done everything to protect the Pri Minister.
However, sending soone to The Court of Judicial Review is easy; getting them out is hard. Lord Liu is renowned as Bao Qingtian, extrely impartial, sotis even disregarding the Emperor, his heart set only on the War Prince. This infuriated the Emperor.
“Isn’t it said that Lord Liu is the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian, always impartial towards matters, not people?”
“Do you believe such talk?”
“Isn’t it true?”
“For ordinary things, Lord Liu is certainly fair and strict, but as soon as it involves the War Prince, it’s difficult to say.”
“No way? Is Lord Liu really such a person? I have always respected him greatly.” Eunuch Li seed deeply affected.
“Would I deceive you? Just wait, there will definitely be news from The Court of Judicial Review tomorrow.” The Emperor seed confident.
After sighing for a while, Eunuch Li comforted: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, if the Pri Minister is gone, there are still many Ministers to utilize in court.”
“Alas! Thinking of the War Prince. It really bothers .”
“Your Majesty, your health is of utmost importance. The Imperial Physician has said that with your current state, any emotional fluctuations are not advised. The War Prince is intentionally provoking you, Your Majesty, let’s not be deceived.”
“Hmm, I still want to live a few more years, won’t fall for Long Rui’s tricks.”
“Right, we won’t be deceived.”
The Emperor set aside the morial to the throne, stood up, and said: “Co, Eunuch Li, walk with to the Imperial Garden.”
“Ah! Alright!”
Eunuch Li stepped forward to support the Emperor, slowly walking out of the palace towards the Imperial Garden…
The Imperial Garden was filled with blooming flowers everywhere, breathtakingly beautiful.
Eunuch Li helped the Emperor complete a round, arriving at a swing: “Your Majesty, would you like to sit down and rest for a while?”
“Alright.”
Surrounded by a sea of flowers, sitting on the swing brought not only a fragrant aroma but also a cool breeze, making it very comfortable.
The Emperor closed his eyes in enjoynt: “It feels really good sitting here!”
Eunuch Li stood by, gently swinging the Emperor while smiling: “Yes, Your Majesty, do you rember for which Consort this swing was built initially?”
The Emperor thought for a mont and said: “It was for the Empress.”
“Yes, exactly, the Empress. I rember when the Empress first entered the palace, she was still a little girl.”
“Indeed! Ti has flown by, ten or twenty years gone like that, and I have grown old.” The Emperor sighed.
“Your Majesty is still in your pri, how could you be old!”
“Don’t deceive , my eyes aren’t blind, I look in the mirror every day.”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Frightened, Eunuch Li knelt down abruptly.
