Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 7

The genius was slightly bright, and Liu Qingtang was sweating in the brocade quilt, and took a nap without having nightmares, her head was not as heavy as in the middle of the night, and her head was better.

Just closing his eyes to rest his mind, he heard the eunuch outside singing all the way, and the little emperor Xiao Huaixu hurried in.

"Hello mother, how is queen mother?" the little emperor stood outside the tent, asking anxiously, with an air of filial piety. "My son came here as soon as he heard the news. The queen mother is the pillar of Daheng. This disease really makes my son restless. Why don't I go to the morning court today and serve the queen mother here? I think the ministers will understand."

"What did the emperor say? You, the emperor, are the pillar of the Great Balance. The emperor needs to be diligent in governing. How can he just settle for the minor illness of the mourning family? As long as there are slaves here at the Ai family, the emperor should go to court as soon as possible, the time has come."

If he is really allowed to serve the sick here, I am afraid that her illness will become more serious.Liu Qingtang pressed her head that was throbbing suddenly because of the arrival of the little emperor, and said in a somewhat stern tone.

Seeing that the little emperor outside the tent was still hesitating, Liu Qingtang calmed down and said: "Aijia sees that the emperor has done things in a decent way these days. I discussed it with several cabinet ministers and made a decision. The imperial physician also said that Aijia’s disease is just too much work, so the emperor will be considerate of Aijia and let Aijia relax.”

"This... the queen mother said so, the son should obey, and the mother should rest well. I will be a good emperor who works diligently and loves the people, and will not let the mother worry."

"Well, let's go."

Even without seeing the little emperor's expression, Liu Qingtang could guess how happy he was to finally take back the power in her hands.

Seeing the little emperor turn and leave, Liu Qingtang sneered in her heart, even if she didn't approve the document, there were still ways to know about the big and small matters in the court.How could he be able to undo the connections that had been buried over the years? As long as she wasn't as stupid as in her previous life and gave the connections in her hands to the little emperor to be driven by him, she would be able to completely control the government.

What's more, the memory of the previous life is still there, and some important events are remembered in his mind, and he knows the corresponding methods.As for those little things that I can't remember clearly, they don't matter, so she doesn't need to take action.

As for holding the little emperor in the palm of her hand, there is no rush for this matter, she already has a good idea, and she can start to implement it when the time comes, and she is very much looking forward to the effect.

Also, I should go back to Liu's house sometime, or call my father to say something.Although she sent a letter home last time, maybe her father couldn't understand what she meant, and some things had to be said face to face.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Sui Yi came, and Qin Shu walked behind carrying the medicine.

"The empress dowager, the medicine is ready." Zhuiyi and Taoye had always been close to Liu Qingtang, and they were called masters in private, and only called the empress dowager when outsiders were around.But I'm afraid that Qin Shu will no longer be considered an outsider in the near future.Thinking about it, Zhuiyi retreated out knowingly under Liu Qingtang's wink.

Qin Shu probably also guessed the behavior of the empress dowager recently, as long as the two of them were alone together, she would definitely force him to stiffen.And every time she used that unusually indifferent expression, as if there was nothing wrong with what she did.Qin Shu is really looking forward to joy but also helpless.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Qin Shu is still better at covering up his inner fluctuations, and he can't see anything except respect on the surface.

Whenever teasing Qin Shu, Liu Qingtang was always very energetic. She attributed this to a sense of security, because she knew clearly that Qin Shu would not betray her, nor would she reject her. She would do anything to him. will be accommodated.

"Qin Shu, Aijia has a headache." Liu Qingtang didn't expect that she subconsciously said a word, which sounded so coquettish.She has never acted like a baby since her mother died when she was a child.

Coughing to cover up, Liu Qingtang said solemnly again: "Come help Ai's family get up."

Qin Shu put down the medicine bowl, and silently stepped forward to help her put the pillow behind her back, and then helped her to lean on it, tucking the corner of the quilt.Being so close to the empress dowager, so close that he could feel her clear and shallow breathing next to his ears, and the movements of supporting her through the brocade quilt, all made Qin Shu feel flustered.In order not to be noticed, he could only bite the soft flesh in his mouth and let the pain numb himself.

Even so, after stepping away, he still found his hands trembling slightly.Gathering his mind, he leaned over and took the medicine bowl and offered it up. "Empress Dowager, please take some medicine."

Liu Qingtang took it straightforwardly, and finished drinking with a frown, feeling a bitter taste in her mouth.After waiting for a while, he didn't see Xiuyi preparing candied fruit. Qin Shu obviously realized it, and was about to say something when Liu Qingtang blinked and waved to him.

The words in his mouth were choked back by the empress dowager's wave, and Qin Shu stepped forward to wait for orders.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, the empress dowager's snow-white arms wrapped around his neck and pulled her down. The next moment, her soft lips were already on his.

Liu Qingtang's series of actions did not give Qin Shu any time to react. When he realized what the situation was, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Feeling the softness of his lips, and... and the little tongue sticking into his mouth, Qin Shu couldn't even move his eyes, and was stunned.Realizing that the person who did this kind of thing to him was the Empress Dowager, Qin Shu felt that all the feelings in his body disappeared, as if he had become a cloud, light and weightless.

Even if he was let go, Qin Shu still stood there in a strange posture.

"Well, it's not hard anymore. Ai's family is going to rest, Qin Shu, you go down first." After the sudden attack, the empress dowager finished speaking in the same indifferent tone as usual, and lay down and covered her with a quilt, her back turned to him.

It's been a long time since I heard Qin Shu's voice behind me, and just when Liu Qingtang couldn't help but want to turn around, I heard him answer yes in a daze.The footsteps of chaotic exits were completely gone from the usual pace of advance and retreat, and Liu Qingtang could guess how confused he was at the moment.

She didn't know why she kissed this man suddenly, but just now she felt the taste of bitter medicine in her mouth, and saw him pursing his thin lips, she felt that maybe it tasted good, and then kissed him in a strange way.After recovering, she herself felt surprised and embarrassed.

There was another sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, probably because Qin Shu bumped into something and fell when he walked outside.

Are you so out of your mind?It was just kissed by her.Liu Qingtang couldn't help but put her ruddy face on the bed and raised her lips to smile, but she was worried that he had fallen badly, so she couldn't help but raised her voice, "Qin Shu, come back."

After a while, Qin Shu opened the curtain and walked in. The bruise on his forehead and the crooked hat were particularly conspicuous.

Qin Shu lowered his eyes in embarrassment and didn't dare to look at Liu Qingtang. Just now when he walked out in a daze, he bumped into a shelf beside him, making such a big commotion, it was really unruly.

"Qin Shu, do you want to be with Aijia?" Liu Qingtang asked directly after thinking about it, and then felt that he might not understand what she meant, so she added: "Even if you are a person who is Aijia, of course Aijia also wants to be with you." ...will give you what you want." Liu Qingtang didn't know if she said it right, after all, she had never had such an experience.

After Liu Qingtang finished speaking, she looked at Qin Shu and waited for his answer. She thought that Qin Shu would be happy and would agree quickly. Because he loves her, isn't it his wish to be with her?However, he knelt down for a long time without replying.

"You don't want to?" Liu Qingtang couldn't believe it, she couldn't understand what this man was thinking at all.

"Your servant... is an eunuch." Qin Shu finally spoke out, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said slowly and with some difficulty: "The broken body of this servant will only stain your eyes and your body."

"Besides, if the slave is with the empress, one mistake will ruin the reputation of the empress." How could he not want to, when he heard the empress dowager say such a thing, he would go crazy with joy.

Don't think about the uneasiness these days, and don't want to find the reason why the empress dowager suddenly changed her attitude towards him. At this moment, he feels that he has no regrets in this life.

But he sensibly knew that he couldn't do it.Not only because of his low self-esteem for his identity and body, but also because he knows that the current emperor is afraid of the empress dowager and wants to seize power from the empress dowager.At this time, once the empress is caught by someone, the empress will be ruined.He couldn't imagine that the empress dowager, who had always been as noble as a phoenix, would be talked about in such a slanderous tone and looked at with such strange eyes, and it was all because of him, so he would hate himself to death.

He loved her so much, how could he allow himself to be used by others to try to bring her down.He wanted to tell the empress dowager that he was willing, even if he was her begging dog.

But he is too weak, even if he is a loyal dog, he doesn't have the sharp claws and sharp teeth that can tear apart the enemy for her.

Liu Qingtang sat quietly on the bed and looked at him, and said calmly, "So I hate you the most all the time, Qin Shu."

She hated him from her previous life, yes, not only because of his gloomy face, but also such a stubborn and deadly character.He never expressed his thoughts clearly, and never said what he did for her, as if he had nothing to ask for.Always like that without waves and ups and downs, so lifeless that people can't understand and bored, so inferior and... so loyal.

Hearing the word hate, Qin Shu knelt there shaking, and forced himself to calm down again.

Didn't he always know that the empress dowager hates him? Even though she has been really kind to him these days, she must still hate him.For the empress dowager, a person like him is a temporary pastime, but he will soon get tired of it.He should have had this awareness long ago, but he still felt distressed. He didn't want to see the empress dowager hating him at all. He was afraid of seeing her disgusted expression. He was very scared.

Liu Qingtang turned over and got out of bed, and barefooted her hair in front of Qin Shu.

"Your Majesty, you are still sick, why did you get out of bed?" Seeing her movements, Qin Shu's self-pity was replaced by worry.But even though he was worried that her condition would worsen, he didn't dare to show any tough attitude to let her go back to bed, so he could only persuade her anxiously.

Liu Qingtang turned a deaf ear to his words, stepped forward and grabbed the skirt of his chest, bent down and blocked his mouth.
