Princess Promotion

Chapter 227 Stunned

Prince Yan suppressed his surprise and said in a teasing tone, "Why? Your Majesty even cares about things like visiting brothels and looking for women?"

Eunuch Wei said calmly, "Of course it's not because of such a small matter. Although we don't know what you are going to do, it's always right to report it."

The King of Yan was almost laughing out of anger and demanded, "You have no evidence at all, yet you want to slander me like this?"

Eunuch Wei took a bite of wonton and said slowly, "We really don't have any evidence, we just rely on intuition."

Eunuch Wei entered the palace at the age of five and climbed up from a small eunuch to the position of chief eunuch.

He may not be good at other things, but when it comes to reading people's expressions, Eunuch Wei is definitely one of the best.

In the harem, if a palace servant cannot guess the master's thoughts from subtle expressions and movements,

What awaits them is slaps and corporal punishment, and they may even lose their lives.

After years of tempering, Eunuch Wei can be said to be a walking human lie detector!

Eunuch Wei didn't need any evidence at all, he just needed to judge whether the King of Yan intended to send him away.

Although Eunuch Wei was physically disabled, he never had a woman in his life.

But one has never eaten pork, but he has seen a pig run. He has studied this matter more thoroughly than the King of Yan.

The King of Yan observed that this man had no ambition and lied to him!

Eunuch Wei is very observant. He is not interested in women, but he needs to know whether a man is interested in that woman.

It can be said that the most thorough research that Eunuch Wei has done in his life is the details of love between men and women.

After all, Eunuch Wei had to constantly wonder whether the Emperor of Qi truly doted on that concubine in the harem or it was just superficial.

It is common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak in the palace. If you think that the concubine is finished because the Emperor of Qi got angry with her,

If you then neglect others, your death will not be far away.

If the Prince of Yan went somewhere else, Eunuch Wei might not be so sure.

But there was no way out. The King of Yan was too incompetent and just happened to walk into the trap.

Eunuch Wei watched the Prince of Yan perform quietly from beginning to end, a man who is obsessed with food, sex and nature.

Perhaps King Yan felt that he had good control over his expression and did not show his emotions.

But in the eyes of Eunuch Wei, the Prince of Yan was no different from a naked runner, and he probably didn't even notice it himself.

When Prince Yan looked at those prostitutes, there was no desire in his eyes, only a hint of contempt and disgust.

The King of Yan has no shortage of women. If he doesn't like these prostitutes, he can just leave.

But he had to pretend to be lustful and wanted to taste the wild flowers.

It's so obvious that Eunuch Wei can't pretend even if he wants to.

Eunuch Wei looked at the King of Yan with a look of dismay and said, "I can guarantee with my head that you didn't touch that woman last night. You made her howl all night long and made some noise."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered, "Why? Did you hide in the closet and watch all night?!"

He would never admit it even if beaten to death. King Yan was certain that Eunuch Wei could not produce any evidence.

Eunuch Wei spoke leisurely and directly pointed out: "Then tell me, what birthmarks or characteristics did the woman you favored last night have?"

The King of Yan was speechless for a moment. He really couldn't answer this question.

Eunuch Wei continued, "Don't tell me, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of affecting that woman's reputation!"

Even if the King of Yan wanted to find an excuse to shirk responsibility, he couldn't say such nonsense as worrying about the reputation of the brothel girl.

Prince Yan's face was gloomy as he asked, "Are you so sure that I dare not kill you?"

Eunuch Wei nodded and said, "He has lived to this age in our family, and he has done enough. You can kill him if you want!"

What a joke! Over the years, Eunuch Wei has heard at least nine thousand harsh words, if not tens of thousands.

In the past, he had to play along and pretend to be terrified for the sake of his superiors.

Now, there is no fear at all.

Besides, Eunuch Wei’s letter has already been sent out. Killing him now would be like admitting guilt!

A man of insight and understanding of the times is a hero. The King of Yan has always been able to bend and stretch.

Prince Yan sat back in his chair dejectedly and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you intend to do with me?"

Eunuch Wei finished his last mouthful of soup and replied, "I don't know about that. I can only wait for your Majesty's reply."

A few days later, in the harem of Huayang City.

Eunuch Wei led Prince Yan through the harem with ease.

The King of Yan followed behind, feeling no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

If I had known that this old man would talk about feelings instead of evidence, I would have let him take the blame.

The plan hasn't started yet, so I'll just give it a try.

These two are still the smartest ones, and I don’t know when the other two will come to accompany him.

As he walked, King Yan heard the sound of someone digging the ground with a hoe or shovel.

what happened?

This isn't the inner courtyard of the harem, is there anyone else in this place?

There was a palace gate at the corner, and Eunuch Wei went up and pushed open the door.

The scene behind the door left King Yan stunned.

I saw a strong man sitting at a stone table, with his legs crossed, leisurely eating melon seeds.

The one digging the soil with a hoe on the other side is none other than the Emperor of Qi!

The most terrifying and bizarre thing is that there are several corpses hanging under the eaves and corridor.

So the Emperor of Qi is... digging a hole to bury the bodies?

This weird and leisurely scene made Prince Yan feel creepy.

Eunuch Wei stepped forward to greet Emperor Qi and Duke Li, saying, "Grand Emperor, Duke, how are you doing?"

Duke Li nodded, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and handed them to Eunuch Wei.

He gestured to Eunuch Wei to join him, and Eunuch Wei took it with a smile.

When the Emperor of Qi saw that the person coming was Eunuch Wei, he also stopped, leaned his elbow on the hoe, and greeted him: "Old man, you are not dead yet!"

Eunuch Wei smiled and replied, "It's almost over. He's almost dead. Your Majesty, don't worry."

The Emperor of Qi said considerately, "Then I'll dig a pit for you. When the time comes, you can just lie down in it. It will save you a lot of trouble."

Eunuch Wei said gratefully, "Having the Emperor dig a grave and bury him is a blessing our family earned in our past lives. We'll go to the funeral shop right now to order a coffin."

The Emperor of Qi generously pointed to the tunnel next to him and said, "Okay, okay. Just indicate how big a pit you want and I'll dig it for you."

King Yan watched the two of them chatting back and forth as if they were old friends reminiscing about the past, if the content of the conversation was not so bloody and violent.

The Emperor of Qi looked at the King of Yan as if he didn't recognize him and asked, "Who is this?"

Eunuch Wei introduced, "This is the former monarch of the State of Yan, now granted the title of fifth-rank prince by our dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

Then the two began to exchange pleasantries as if they were meeting for the first time.

The Emperor of Qi asked gently and politely, "I wonder if Brother Yan is interested in chess?"

The King of Yan said modestly, "I know a thing or two."

The Emperor of Qi warmly invited him, "I have some good tea here. Let's make some tea and play chess together later."

As soon as he finished speaking, King Yan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his chest.

In a trance, the figures of Emperor Qi and the girl began to overlap.

The girl said lazily, "You can go and make tea and play chess with my father. It would be nice to have him as your companion."

Prince Yan's scalp suddenly went numb and he felt like he was falling into an abyss.

The next second, Emperor Qi saw the Prince of Yan's face turn pale as paper, and then he fell straight back.

The accident happened so suddenly that it took a while for everyone to react. Then they hurriedly carried Prince Yan back into the house and called the imperial physician over.

The imperial physician came and examined the prince for a long time and said that the prince's pulse was thin and tight, and his tongue texture and coating were changeable, which was caused by emotional imbalance.

In simple terms, he was so emotionally excited that his body couldn't bear it and he fainted.

Duke Li murmured to himself after hearing this: "This chess game is so bad that anyone who is willing to play chess with me will faint from joy!"

Emperor Qi:... I don't believe there is anyone who plays chess worse than you.

Eunuch Wei: So the King of Yan loves chess so much?
