Chapter 943: Start of the plan
The Emperor was simply stunned after hearing the sudden confession. He placed the teacup on the table and then turned to look at Eunuch Xi jerkily before asking," Eunuch Xi, my dear… are you …are you really sure?"
A minister trying to molest his eunuch was different from any other accusation. If it was proven that Old Master Su was trying to do something unsettling with Eunuch Xi, it would be really troublesome not only for him but the court as well.
Eunuch Xi hesitated before shaking his head. He then said with a slight tremor," Your majesty, I cannot be sure. Let's just forget about it." Though he said that he looked extremely reluctant, causing the Emperor to furrow his brows, he could not understand what was happening. But he knew that Eunuch Xi was a man of pride, he would never do something that would ruin his reputation as such.
Thus, not once did the Emperor think that Eunuch Xi was lying.
He clenched his fingers until they balled into fists and then hammered them on the table before saying," Speak the truth, Eunuch Xi! Please keep in mind that you are the face of the Zhen. If someone molests you, what face will Zhen have?"
Eunuch Xi trembled on the surface, but inwardly he was pleased.
Looks like Su Wan was really capable, if he had told such a thing directly to the Emperor, the latter would have thought that he was trying to fight with Old Master Su and was blaming him wrongly but now that he had acted just as Su Wan asked him, his majesty was not only believing everything that he told him, but he was also getting angry on his behalf.
' This Su woman is perfect, though I have to lose a skin of layer… I will be able to deal with that years-long grudge between me and Old Master Su,' a flicker of delight washed over Eunuch Xi's eyes, but he did not show it on his face and hid it quickly.
He sighed and then said in a light voice," In the past, I used to think that there was nothing wrong and that Old Master Su only did it because he wanted to affect my future. But in the past, he had often said a lot of double-meaning things to me. He has ever cornered me many times, I mean I thought that he was only doing it because he wanted to tease me regarding my condition but…"
Eunuch Xi broke off, feeling a bit indignant. His expression caused the Emperor to think that something was very wrong, and he hurriedly asked," But… But what?"
" Your majesty!" Eunuch Xi knelt on the floor all of a sudden, causing the Emperor to be stunned. However, before he could stop Eunuch Xi and ask him to get up from the floor, he saw Eunuch Xi lower his head and kowtow heavily. " I know that this is a shameless matter, but I hope that you will give me a chance to prove that I am speaking the truth.
That man…he…he tried to get close to me many times, now that I have heard about it from my colleagues, I think that the reason he made me an incomplete man was to make me his gigolo, it's just that I escaped that night, and he could not capture me."
The Emperor was left stunned, after hearing the words of Eunuch Xi, he could not help but overthink. Now that he thought about it, Old Master Su did attack Eunuch Xi even after he lost everything. If Eunuch Xi ignored him in the court, Old Master Su would go looking for him later on.
In short, he wanted Eunuch Xi to pay attention to him no matter what.
At first, Emperor Fei did not feel much about their exchanges, but now that Eunuch Xi was crying and telling him that he needed justice, he could not help but think that there was indeed something fishy.
Did Old Master Su really …. No, No… He was thinking too much.
" Eunuch Xi… Zhen believes you, but this is a delicate matter, how can Zhen help in this matter?" It was not that Emperor Fei did not want to help Eunuch Xi, it was just that this was a sensitive matter. And he was afraid that in case this was merely a big misunderstanding, it might end up with a lot of chaos.
Presently, he could offend neither the Su nor the Xi family.
Eunuch Xi nodded as he agreed with Emperor Fei's words. He said, "I know, your majesty. It's solely that I heard from the servants that Old Master Su's second son's arms were chopped off. I am sure that Old Master Su's mood might not be good, in that case, he would most probably try something on me."
Emperor Fei was not sure anymore. He was not convinced that Eunuch Xi would take such liberty over his reputation, however at the same time, he found it difficult to believe that Old Master Su was thinking of doing something uncomfortable to Eunuch Xi. ' Stay connected via M V L
Of course, Eunuch Xi knew that Emperor Fei was wondering whether to believe him or not. Thus, he threw a bait," In a few days we will be having a meetup, it will only include the ministers who had once worked together with you, your majesty. If you do not believe my words, then you can come with me and see for yourself?"
Old Master Su had cut off his manhood making him nothing but a lowly eunuch, his wife, who was his lover and support had to bear all kinds of insults from Old Madam Su who called her a wife of Eunuch again and again. Even the two sons who were cultivated by Old Master Su were evil, they looked down on his son and caused trouble for them all the time.
Since that was the case, then he did not mind dealing with Old Master Su in this manner. Who asked him to offend him?
