Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Kangyin shouted nervously, “The Grand Secretary is injured!”
A few officials also went to look at the wound on Xiao Shoufu’s neck and said at once, “Fortunately, the wound isn’t deep. It should be just a superficial wound.”
“Xiao Shoufu, how do you feel?”
“Did you hit your head…”
II II
The chaotic voices around him seemed to enter Xiao Shoufu’s ears from afar. In the chaos, Xiao Shoufu caught the keyword.
So, he wasn’t seriously injured?
Xiao Shoufu raised his hand to cover his wound in shock. It was warm and sticky blood, but he could feel that there was indeed not much blood from the wound.
So, his life was saved?!
Soon, Xiao Shoufu got up from the ground with the help of two officials. His official hat fell off, revealing his white hair and slightly messy bun. A few strands of hair scattered from the bun.
Xiao Shoufu, who had always been well-dressed and meticulous, had stood in the court for nearly 20 years. This was the first time he was in such a sorry state.
Not only did the wound on his neck hurt, but all the bones in his body also hurt. He had fallen quite badly just now.
At this moment, Xiao Shoufu couldn’t care less about the pain in his body. He barely stood up and pointed at the green-robed servant, who had just pounced on him, with a trembling hand. He said in a trembling voice, “You… you…”
He glared at the other party fiercely, with the lingering fear of escaping death in his eyes. “Lord Xiao, what’s wrong?” Chu Yi’s gentle voice sounded again.
His voice was like the spring breeze, causing Xiao Shoufu to have gooseb.u.mps all over his body. Xiao Shoufu’s eyes wandered uncertainly. He looked at Chu Yi and then at the little eunuch. He still pointed at the little eunuch and complained, “He wants to kill me…” In his shock, Xiao Shoufu even forgot to address the Eldest Prince. He only wanted to accuse the Emperor that the Eldest Prince clearly wanted to silence him.
The Emperor didn’t say a word. He casually grabbed a handful of millet and fed it to the frightened parrot, who buried its head and ate.
“No, no, no. Why would 1 kill the Grand Secretary?” The servant waved his hand and hurriedly explained, “1 saw that the potted plant was swaying from the flower table and was about to fall. 1 was afraid that it would hurt you, so I rushed over to protect you…” “I was too abrupt, that’s why I frightened you.” The little eunuch explained with trepidation, sounding reasonable.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at the potted plant that had fallen four and a half miles to the ground. A cl.u.s.ter of green bamboo had been broken at the waist, and some mud and flower pot fragments were stained on Xiao Shoufu’s robe.
There was still a hint of shock on Xiao Shoufu’s pale face. Some blood seeped out of the wound on his neck. It was a shocking sight, as if it had been cut by the flower pot fragments that had just splattered.
Everyone frowned and thought about it carefully. Actually, most people couldn’t remember if the potted plant was shaking or not.
However, from the looks of it, the eunuch shouldn’t be lying. He was telling the truth. Who would a.s.sa.s.sinate the Grand Secretary in front of the Emperor? Wasn’t this crazy?! If he really wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Xiao Shoufu, this eunuch could have waited for Xiao Shoufu to be alone before a.s.sa.s.sinating him. Only then would it make sense.
Everyone whispered to each other.
Soon, a young censor took two steps forward and said tactfully to Xiao Shoufu, “Lord Xiao, were you frightened and saw wrongly?”
His words were still considered polite, but the disapproving expression on his face seemed to be saying that this was just a trivial matter. Xiao Shoufu was really making a fuss over nothing and even pointing fingers.
The dignified Grand Secretary had lost his composure. Fortunately, the Emperor had a good temper.
A few censors around him also nodded and exchanged glances.
Sigh, these people from the aristocratic families were like this. They were too n.o.ble. It was just a fall and there was some dust on them, but it was as if they wanted to kill them. Xiao Shoufu’s face turned green, and the beard on his chin flew wildly. He had a mouthful of blood in his throat, and he couldn’t help but raise his voice to defend himself. “It was clearly this eunuch who stabbed me with a dagger.”
“Who saw it?” the young censor asked lightly.
The others looked at each other. Just now, they had only seen the little eunuch suddenly pounce on Xiao Shoufu and the potted plant fall to the ground. That was all.
Many people looked at the anxious little eunuch again and saw that his hands were empty. He didn’t have the dagger that Xiao Shoufu had mentioned at all. His robe was also stained with mud, making him look a little disheveled..
