Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 75

After Xiao Huaixu woke up, he heard Eunuch Fu tremblingly report that Concubine Xuan and the little princess had disappeared. He sat on the bed and said in a sinking voice: "All the servants in Qingyin Palace have been taken care of."

After that, it was reported that the little princess born to the emperor's favorite concubine Concubine Xuan died of illness, and Concubine Xuan died of grief together.The funeral was not very grand, because Xiao Huaixu was sick in bed, looking too sad to ask questions, and it is said that he vomited blood.People who didn't know the situation thought that the emperor was injured because of the death of his favorite concubine. In order not to embarrass him at this time, the funeral was very low-key.

As an emperor, how could Xiao Huaixu tolerate the news of his woman's cheating being known by others, so he only said that Xuan Ge died, and did not say that she disappeared with an unknown man.

Thinking of the man he saw before he passed out, Xiao Huaixu's heart churned with murderous intent.Even if he doesn't like Xuan Ge, but his woman can only be his until death.

Xiao Huaixu originally wanted to secretly send someone to find Xuan Ge and that damned man, but he just caught a glimpse of that man out of the corner of his eye before he fell into a coma, and he didn't see his face clearly, so he couldn't find him.As for Xuan Ge, she looks similar to Liu Qingtang. Xiao Huaixu hid her in the Qingyin Palace for so long and never let her out. I hate it so much that I can't help it.

All of a sudden, because of Liu Qingtang and Xuange's affairs, coupled with the poison in his body, Xiao Huaixu fell ill in a hurry.This time, he was not as lucky as last time, he summoned the imperial physician, and the imperial physician who took his pulse changed his expression on the spot, and said in a twisted and round way for a long time that it was nothing more than an injury caused by extreme anger, if he didn't take good care of himself, he would die Yu.

Xiao Huaixu's face also changed, he didn't expect it to be so serious, but when asked, the imperial doctor couldn't say anything.The indirect poison that Liu Qingtang used on Xuange's body was so secretive. Without knowing the secret medicine, not to mention an imperial physician, even the imperial physicians in the entire imperial hospital would not be able to see it.It can't be seen that the pulse is just a disease caused by too much thinking, so the imperial physician only dared to maintain the golden mean and prescribed some health-preserving prescriptions for the emperor.

Of course, this is useless for Xiao Huaixu's illness.Over the past few years, Xiao Huaixu's body has become weaker and weaker. Although it can't be seen from the outside, it will show up when he gets angry.If it was a healthy young man, he would never vomit blood so easily.Some seasoned imperial physicians may see signs of something wrong, but no one dares to say.

This kind of matter has always involved the royal family's secret discord, and it is the safest way for their little imperial physicians to pretend not to know.I really want to stab it out and anger the people above, not only myself, but even the whole family may not be able to keep it. How many imperial physicians throughout the ages have been implicated by the dirty things of the royal family.What's more, I just feel that something is wrong, and I can't tell the specific cause of it. There is no way to diagnose and treat it, so no one dares to say it.

The rest of them don't know, those imperial doctors who have two brushes can't see that the emperor's foundation is injured for some reason, and even if he recovers in the future, he will be weak and sick, otherwise he will have a short life span.Under the situation in the court, even if this kind of emperor is gone, no one wants to rush up to find trouble.

The experienced imperial physician saw that something was wrong, but the old man just wanted to be on the safe side, so he kept silent and pretended not to see it.The younger imperial physicians are inexperienced and can't see anything, so they all agree that the emperor's menacing illness is due to over-thinking and frequent emotions such as sadness and anger that lead to physical loss.

Xiao Huaixu didn't doubt that he was there, so he could only try his best to control his emotions and heal his illness, and take good care of his body. Whether it was revenge or other things, one day at the end of five or ten years, he would make those people regret the mistakes they made today.

I just don't know why, Xiao Huaixu, who has always had good self-control, can't control his temper more and more, and is always irritable and irritable for no reason. If he doesn't go well with the servants who serve him, he will beat his head and face.Since he fell ill, in order not to let Liu Qingtang take back some of the government affairs that he had finally held in his hands, he insisted on dealing with those matters. However, during this time, the papers presented were all news that was beneficial to the Liu family. Seeing Xiao Huaixu's complexion getting worse day by day.

Another thing that made Xiao Huaixu restless was Qin Shu, the chief steward of Ci'an Palace, who said that he was ordered by the Empress Dowager to come and deliver medicine to him every now and then.With Xiao Huaixu's vigilance, Xiao Huaixu naturally wouldn't drink those medicines, but when he saw Qin Shu, he would think of the scene he saw that day, the woman he couldn't love smiled at him.Therefore, every time he sees Qin Shu, Xiao Huaixu has to work hard to restrain his killing intent. Compared with Xuan Ge and that unknown adulterer, Xiao Huaixu wants Qin Shu to die.

In his eyes, with Qin Shu's status and such a crippled body, he is not worthy to even lift his shoes, let alone be with Liu Qingtang, which simply defiles her.Regarding Liu Qingtang, Xiao Huaixu's mood is becoming more and more complicated now. He can't believe that such a proud woman would like such a eunuch. He was disappointed and frightened, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable grievance. He couldn't compare to this kind of grievance. Dirty and lowly slaves!
All kinds of complicated emotions were mixed together, and Xiao Huaixu's love, which was originally mixed with many complicated emotions, gradually turned into a dark and decisive mind.Since he was defiled and destroyed by others because he asked for nothing, it might as well be completely destroyed.Beautiful jade is flawed, even if it is his beloved, there can only be one that will be smashed into ashes.

As for Qin Shu who had tarnished that piece of beautiful jade, Xiao Huaixu had nothing but hatred and killing intent.However, he can't touch him yet, the chief executive of Ci'an Palace, who is in charge of the prison and the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the same time.Xiao Huaixu could see clearly Liu Qingtang's concern for Qin Shu. In the past, Xiao Huaixu didn't understand why Liu Qingtang trusted Qin Shu so much, but now he has an explanation.

If he moved Qin Shu when he was not ready to confront Liu Qingtang, then he would definitely be counterattacked by Liu Qingtang crazily, and he could only bear it for the time being.However, after realizing this point, Xiao Huaixu's heart seemed to be burned by fire, and it burned him day and night without peace.

A person who can't wait to drink blood and eat meat is in front of him every day, and Xiao Huaixu is such a self-envious person, how can he recover well, but because he often suppresses his overwhelmed thoughts, his illness gets worse.

On this day, Qin Shu came over to deliver some medicinal materials to Xiao Huaixu as usual, said something polite under his cold eyes suppressing hatred, and then left.

When he left, Qin Shu twitched his mouth when he heard the medicine bowl accidentally knocked over inside, showing a little sarcasm.

After leaving Chang'an Palace, Qin Shu didn't go back to Ci'an Palace immediately, but went to the prison instead.This palace prison, which was managed by his powerful hands, has now become a place where everyone in the palace bypasses. Because there are too many people dead inside, it looks a bit gloomy, even if you are outside, you can smell a faint smell of blood.Ordinary palace people don't want to get close to this place at all, and even the servants who work here don't like it.For Qin Shu, the palace prison supervisor, there is nine points of fear and awe mixed with one point of disgust.

When he was not in front of Liu Qingtang, Qin Shu always seemed cruel and indifferent. There was no sympathy for him. Everyone knew that this was the King of Hades whose heart was harder than iron.Even the most cruel person would feel uncomfortable seeing those execution scenes in the palace prison, but he never raised his eyebrows no matter what he saw or what he did.Seeing him walking in, the palace people in the palace prison were startled first, then quickly bowed their heads in salute, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he walked over.

Qin Shu walked all the way to the deepest point, not paying any attention to the increasingly heavy smell of blood and the gloomy atmosphere.The two little eunuchs who followed him were all trained by him. When they entered the palace prison, they saw all kinds of torture instruments stained with blood, and those criminal slaves who were imprisoned inside, and they were as miserable as Qin Shu. Expression, a look of indifference.

There is also Qin Shu's room in the palace prison, and now he is sitting in it alone, taking out a volume from the volumes that fill one wall and sitting at the desk to read.After a while, a little eunuch with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes came in, just like a little eunuch serving in Chang'an Palace.

At that time, the little eunuch shrank back tremblingly because Xiao Huaixu threw a teacup because of his anger. look.He saluted first, and then said respectfully: "Sijian, I've run out of supplies."

"En." Qin Shu replied, and took out a paper bag from a file. "Same as ever."

"You don't have to worry about it, the supervisor. Don't worry." After finishing speaking, the little eunuch put away his things and walked out lightly.

It's not poison, but a drug that can cause hallucinations. Qin Shu has been planning since he noticed Xiao Huaixu's feelings, and it has been several years now.After being exposed to this drug day after day for several years in a row, Xiao Huaixu's current irritability and frequent insanity, and even the poison in his body is more serious than expected, are all due to Qin Shu.

This kind of medicine, which cannot be detected in the palace, is contained in Xiao Huaixu's clothing, spices and accessories, and even the charcoal fire used in winter and the ice used in summer.The greater the power in Qin Shu's hands, when more and more people were placed in the Chang'an Palace, he was not in a hurry, but used the safest method to injure Xiao Huaixu's body, silently accelerating his body's weakening speed .

Xiao Huaixu thought he could endure and wait, but he didn't know that Qin Shu could endure and wait better than him.How can you allow others to covet the beloved.

Qin Shu sat there alone and continued to look through the file, until the bright candle next to him burst into a light, then he closed the file, put it away again and went out.The two young eunuchs waiting at the door saw him coming out, and followed him quietly to leave the prison.Wherever Qin Shu went, there was no sound, and he seemed very depressed, but he didn't realize it, and walked on his own.

When I arrived in the small garden of Ci'an Palace, I heard the Empress Dowager yelling: "Catch that fat bird to the Ai family, the Ai family must stew it today!"

"Oh, the Empress Dowager is as beautiful as a flower today, so don't be angry!" the parrot begged for mercy.

Liu Qingtang laughed and scolded: "You continue to be poor, and when Qin Shu comes back to see me, I will let him clean you up!"

Hearing her voice, Qin Shu's suppressed feeling immediately dissipated, and he looked much warmer.

"Qin Shu, you're back." Liu Qingtang saw Qin Shu walking in in a blink of an eye, and immediately complained: "This fat bird provoked me again today!"

Hearing this, Qin Shu glanced at the fat parrot walking around like a chicken, "Do you want a hairpin made of blue feathers, Madam?" He said in a normal tone while rolling up his sleeves, That was before he was going to pluck the feathers of the fat bird.Seeing his movements, the parrot, which was too fat to fly, wailed immediately, and rushed into the flowers in a panic, shaking off the petals all over the ground.

When the flowers were shaking, the fat bird's panicked voice came out, "I can't find me, I can't find me!"

Seeing how frightened it was, Liu Qingtang smiled triumphantly, and snorted.Qin Shu's eyes softened, and he pulled her to sit on the beauty couch under the flower tree, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the thin sweat on her forehead, and poured her another cup of tea.Seeing Zhui Yi smilingly bring over a plate of pastries, he wiped Liu Qingtang's fingers with a damp cloth.

Liu Qingtang watched him finish all these skillfully and carefully, twisted a piece of pastry and brought it to Qin Shu's mouth first, and after he took a small bite, leaned up to kiss him, and then ate the pastry by herself, with a series of smooth movements .After eating a small piece, Liu Qingtang sighed suddenly again, and covered her waist, "Qin Shu, I seem to have gained weight recently, you see I have nothing to do all day, and my waist has grown thicker."

"Why don't we go out of the palace in a few days?" Liu Qingtang rubbed his chin, "When I think about it, the Golden Buddha Festival is almost here, why don't you take advantage of this time to go to Yufo Temple to offer incense, and just stay there for a few days."
