Chapter 268 The World of Mad Men and Mad Women 4
"Oh, right, didn't we drag that guard away to be castrated?" The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "If he has been castrated, throw him into Concubine Xian's palace right away. Doesn't Concubine Xian dislike me? Then let her stink together with a eunuch from now on!"
The emperor was really angry this time. After all, he had always been very proud and complacent. So when he learned that Concubine Xian actually despised him for being rotten and smelly inside, how could the emperor not be angry?
Of course, his so-called anger was just to disgust Concubine Xian, and he didn't intend to do anything to Concubine Xian.
So didn’t Eunuch Qin roll his eyes in his heart again?
To be honest, sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, who was the emperor and who was the concubine between the emperor and Concubine Xian.
"I will go to the bathroom and check. If the guard has already finished his purification, I will have him carried to Concubine Xian's palace." As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Qin walked out.
When he walked outside, he unexpectedly saw the Imperial Household Manager, Eunuch Wu: "Didn't Eunuch Wu catch a cold? Why didn't you take a good rest and recover from your illness? Why did you come back to work so soon?"
"I have recovered from my illness," Eunuch Wu looked at Eunuch Qin unkindly, "Since I have recovered, I must return to serve the emperor as soon as possible, lest the emperor be blinded by the treacherous villain."
"Haha!" Eunuch Qin laughed softly, "Does Eunuch Wu mean to say that the emperor is a tyrant? I just wonder if Eunuch Wu dares to repeat what he just said in front of the emperor."
Eunuch Wu's eyes turned cold and stern: "Eunuch Qin is really good at talking. No wonder he can stir up trouble around the emperor."
"Whether I have fanned the flames around the emperor or not, it is not necessary for Eunuch Wu to convict me. It is Eunuch Wu who seems to have forgotten whose servant he is!" Eunuch Qin looked at Eunuch Wu with a half-smile, "Even if I am a treacherous villain, at least I know who my master is. Unlike Eunuch Wu, who is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han, he has changed his master a long time ago, so how can he still remember that he is the emperor's servant?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Qin flicked the whisk in his hand, looked at Eunuch Wu with disdain, and walked away.
Eunuch Wu looked at Eunuch Qin's back with a gloomy face as he left. It was all because of this treacherous villain. Eunuch Qin had fanned the flames regarding Concubine Xian's incident yesterday. Otherwise, how could the Emperor have demoted Concubine Xian's rank?
That's right, Eunuch Wu is Concubine Xian's man. Besides the fact that Concubine Xian helped him become the chief steward of the imperial court, he also liked Ruoxin, the maidservant beside Concubine Xian. So Eunuch Wu is loyal to Concubine Xian, and he has helped Concubine Xian a lot over the years by using his identity as the chief steward of the imperial court.
But what he didn't expect was that just because he caught a cold and was away from the emperor's service for a few days, the treacherous eunuch Qin would harm Concubine Xian.
Humph! Just wait for him. He will definitely teach Eunuch Qin a lesson and make him understand who has the final say in the matter of the eunuchs in front of the emperor.
When Eunuch Qin had Gu Yansen carried to Concubine Xian's palace, Concubine Xian was so grief-stricken that she almost fainted.
"Ruoxin, take my card and go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician." Concubine Xian held the unconscious Guard Qin lying on the bed tightly and said to Ruoxin in an uncontrolled manner:
"Your Majesty..." Ruoxin looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. After all, Guard Gu is now a eunuch. How can we let the imperial physician treat him? What's more, the emperor is already dissatisfied with you. If he knew that you asked the imperial physician to treat Guard Gu, he would be afraid..."
"Go quickly if I tell you to go," Concubine Xian yelled at Ruoxin, "What's the matter? Does it mean that what I say now is useless? You have served me for so many years, how come I only know today that you are such a cold-blooded person? Gu Yansen is already like this, and you still have the mind to worry about something that is not real."
"I admit my guilt." What could Ruoxin say? She could only quickly go outside to get the imperial physician.
When Ruoxin came outside, Concubine Cao had just received the news and came rushing over.
"Ruoxin, I heard that the emperor asked Eunuch Qin to send the eunuch Gu to my sister's palace. Is this true?" As she spoke, Concubine Cao was filled with resentment. "How could the emperor really do this? Isn't he afraid of hurting my sister's feelings? By humiliating my sister like this, has the emperor forgotten the childhood friendship between him and my sister?"
Concubine Cao always thought that what the emperor said yesterday was just an angry remark. Sending the castrated guard Gu to her sister's palace was simply humiliating her sister. If the emperor really loved her sister, he would not humiliate her like this. But she never thought that the emperor would actually send guard Gu to her sister's palace.
"Her Majesty asked me to ask the imperial physician to come and treat Guard Gu," Ruoxin said with embarrassment, "Madam Cao, you also know my master's current situation. If I really ask the imperial physician to treat Guard Gu, I'm afraid someone will find a handle on me. So could you please go in and persuade Madam Xian?"
"Don't go and call the imperial physician yet. I'll go in and persuade my sister." Concubine Cao hurried inside.
But the problem was, she could not persuade Concubine Xian. Not only did she fail to persuade Concubine Xian, but she was also severely scolded by Concubine Xian. As a result, the news that Concubine Xian had asked an imperial physician to help Gu Yansen quickly spread in the palace, and even the Emperor, and Eunuch Qin exaggerated it and told the Emperor the story.
Even though Eunuch Qin's position is lower than Eunuch Wu's, Eunuch Wu should not try to suppress him in front of the emperor.
For example, if you want him to appear less in front of the emperor, this is absolutely impossible. After all, the emperor likes his ability to flatter and fawn on others.
In addition, he has always served the emperor attentively, so the emperor prefers to have Eunuch Qin serving him rather than Eunuch Wu. As a result, the eunuchs in front of the emperor were divided into two factions, and they fought fiercely with each other in private!
This is also what the emperor wants to see. It is impossible for Eunuch Wu, as the chief steward of the imperial court, to cover everything up. The emperor is very good at the art of balance.
You can say that! If it weren't for Concubine Xian, the emperor would still be a very normal emperor, and his ability to control people is quite amazing.
But once he met Concubine Xian, the emperor's mind no longer functioned like a normal person.
After hearing what Eunuch Qin said, the emperor was naturally furious again: "How can this be absurd, how can this be absurd? Where does Concubine Xian put my face? The queen and I have suppressed the matter, but Concubine Xian still won't stop. How can this be that the man is really that important to her?"
"Your Majesty, that dirty eunuch is now a eunuch, how can he be considered a man?" Eunuch Qin quickly presented the emperor with a cup of tea, "Please drink some tea to calm down. You are the emperor, the supreme ruler. Getting angry over a dirty eunuch like that, isn't that too much of a compliment to him?"
