Capítulo 1975: Chapter 1975: Sucking Up
“Alright, alright, get up. Just because I say one word, do you have to be this frightened?”
“The Emperor’s authority is uncheckable.”
“Hahaha…! Get up, stop flattering .” Eunuch Li’s earnest fear amused the Emperor. If the War Prince were like him, the world would be peaceful.
“Thank you, Emperor.”
Eunuch Li furtively wiped away cold sweat. When the Emperor gets angry, it can cost lives; who wouldn’t be afraid! He knelt respectfully once more before standing up, then continued gently pushing the Emperor’s swing.
The Emperor closed his eyes, quietly basking, softly saying: “Back then, when the Empress first entered the palace, she was a simple little girl. But sohow, her depths beca unfathomable, leaving even in the dust.”
Eunuch Li pondered for a while, cautiously saying: “Emperor, allow your servant to speak boldly.”
“Speak.”
“Within the Harem, it’s always a place full of strife. For the Empress to reach her current position without employing so cunning would be impossible.”
Upon hearing this, the Emperor opened his eyes and looked at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li quickly lowered his head: “If I spoke wrongly, I beg the Emperor’s rcy.”
The Emperor nodded: “Eunuch Li indeed sees things clearly.”
“As the saying goes, an observer sees clearly. The Empress indeed has it hard, especially since the Fourth Prince has beco like this; surely she suffers greatly.”
“Didn’t I already allow the Second Prince to be adopted under her na? What more could she be dissatisfied with?”
“Ultimately, he’s not her own son; a lingering resentnt will always be there.”
“That’s her own doing. Mother and son were fine, and she chose to kill the mother and seize the child.” Speaking of this matter, the Emperor felt so displeasure; the Empress now uses any ans necessary to achieve her goals.
Eunuch Li: “Indeed, this was wrong on the Empress’s part. However, for the Second Prince, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
True, the Second Prince’s biological mother held a lowly status, unable to help the Second Prince ascend to the supre position. The Empress, however, is different. Now that the Fourth Prince is deposed, she will surely do everything to support the Second Prince for her future elevation.
The Emperor naturally understood Eunuch Li’s aning, saying: “This woman’s courage grows ever bolder. Doesn’t she consider that if soday the Second Prince learns about the truth, the more successful he becos, the faster she’ll perish?”
“Emperor, don’t worry. Many things are predestined in the shadows; how they unfold depends on the Empress’s luck.”
“Hmm! That’s true. In the future, I won’t see any of this; thus I needn’t worry.”
“The Emperor is His Majesty the Emperor, blessed with a thousand years; how could you not see?”
“Hehe…! Eunuch Li, you’re making laugh again.”
“No, what I say is sincere.”
“From ancient tis, who has lived for a thousand years? To live to a hundred is already a prolonged life. Ugh! I hear ministers chant ‘Long Live, Long Live, Ten Thousand Years.’ Can one truly live forever? I know well, there’s not many years left for .”
Eunuch Li was terrified, suddenly kneeling on the ground: “The Emperor is in his pri; even if not a thousand years, there’s still a long, long path ahead.”
The Emperor frowned, looking at Eunuch Li kneeling on the ground, saying: “Eunuch Li, why do you keep kneeling? I rely feel blocked inside, wanting to share heartfelt words, yet you kneel back and forth.”
Alas! Ever since ascending to the Emperor’s throne, there hasn’t been anyone to speak true sentints with, leaving the Emperor sowhat saddened.
