Chapter 705 - 705 The Arrogant Dabao (1)
705 The Arrogant Dabao (1)
“No, we can’t do that…” No matter how bold the Empress was, she had never thought of usurping the throne. She could not force the Emperor to abdicate the throne while he was seriously injured.
Although she had many schemes against Consort Yun and her daughter, that was because she had no choice. She was satisfied with the Emperor as her husband and did not want to hurt him.
Even just now, she only wanted to knock him away. She definitely did not intend to murder him!
The eunuch said earnestly, “Your Majesty, only one of His Majesty and the Princess can live. If His Majesty doesn’t abdicate, the ones who will die will be the Princess and your grandson. You have to weigh it carefully! I understand your relations.h.i.+p with His Majesty, but now is not the time to let your emotions affect you. You injured His Majesty to this extent…”
!!The Empress hurriedly shook her head. “I didn’t do it on purpose… I missed…”
The eunuch let out a long sigh and interrupted her. “Will His Majesty believe you, Your Majesty?”
The Empress choked. He didn’t even believe that Nangong Yan was his biological child, so how could he believe that she had accidentally injured him?
The Emperor’s stubbornness was terrifying. She had learned from Consort Yun that if he believed someone, he would believe her wholeheartedly. However, if he suspected someone, there would be no room for negotiation.
The Emperor’s personality had given her a taste of sweetness, but now she was starting to eat the bitter fruit.
The Emperor had once hated Consort Yun too much, and in the future, he would hate her as much. Thinking that Consort Yun had not been able to clear her name for decades, the Empress felt that the possibility of her obtaining the Emperor’s trust was almost nonexistent.
The Empress closed her eyes in pain. “Is there really… no other way?”
The eunuch sighed and looked at her. “Your Majesty, have you forgotten how His Majesty treated the Princess just now?”
Of course, she did not forget. If she had been a step later, Yan’er would have died under the Emperor’s sword.
“And Ruxia.” The eunuch glanced at the palace maid lying on the ground who had died. “She’s Your Majesty’s palace maid, but after she saw that Your Majesty had injured His Majesty, her first reaction was to publicize this matter. At the end of the day, they’re Your Majesty’s servants, but they’re also His Majesty’s servants. Your Majesty’s current status is all given by His Majesty. Once His Majesty wants to take it back, Your Majesty, you won’t even have a chance to resist. Without His Majesty’s favor, Your Majesty will become the second Consort Yun. No, at least Consort Yun has never betrayed His Majesty. Even so, her outcome was so miserable. Does Your Majesty hope to be worse than her?”
The Empress looked at Ruxia’s corpse and then at the eunuch. “Then you…”
The eunuch kowtowed and said, “I’m different from them. I’ll be loyal to Your Majesty for the rest of my life.”
The Empress seemed to have grabbed a piece of driftwood in the vast sea. She grabbed the arm of the eunuch and looked at him steadily. “Li Yu, if you can really help me pa.s.s this tribulation, you will be my benefactor. When I have power, I will grant you the position of central attendant!”
The Central Attendant was the head of the eunuchs. He was not an ordinary eunuch or servant, but a great eunuch who could shake the royal court. The eunuchs of the previous dynasty had caused chaos, causing the royal court to be corrupt and loyal people to be harmed. This dynasty had greatly weakened the power of the eunuchs. The highest was the steward of the palace. Someone like w.a.n.g Dequan could serve the Emperor personally, but he could not reach into the royal court.
The Empress’s promise was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
A trace of excitement appeared on Eunuch Li’s face. He kowtowed again. “Thank you, Empress!”
The Empress stood up indifferently. A cold wind poured in from the window and blew on her sweating body. “Tell me, what should we do next?”
Eunuch Li said, “Treat His Majesty first.”
The Empress nodded.
“There’s a first aid kit under my bed. I’ll have to trouble Your Majesty to bring it over for me.” Eunuch Li’s hand stabilized the Emperor’s wound and could not let go.
The Empress brought it over for him. Eunuch Li opened the first aid kit, skillfully took out scissors and st.i.tches, and began to wash and st.i.tch the Emperor’s wound. Even though the Empress did not know medicine, she could tell that his medical skills were not bad.
The Empress was dumbfounded. “You-you actually have such ability?”
Eunuch Li said softly, “Your Majesty, don’t be afraid. No matter how capable I am, I will only be used by you.”
The Empress took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
This servant had really drilled into her heart and even guessed this. However, at this point, there was no other way but to trust him.
Eunuch Li finished treating the Emperor’s injuries and fed him a brown pill.
The Empress frowned. “What did you feed His Majesty?”
“The medicine that makes His Majesty unable to move or speak,” Eunuch Li replied.
