After the emperor’s assassination attempt, the palace had been under martial law.
All the concubines were ordered by Imperial Concubine Liu to copy sutras in their respective palaces and pray for the emperor. The concubines were angry but did not dare to say anything.!!
The palace servants did not dare to breathe loudly. They were all very careful, afraid that they would be used as punching bags by their masters.
They thought that the situation would be better if the empress dowager returned to the palace. Unexpectedly, when all the concubines arranged to go to Cining Palace to pay their respects to her, they were told that the empress dowager was copying scriptures for the emperor and could not see anyone.
All the concubines were dumbfounded. The empress dowager was copying sutras. Could it be that they were more noble than the empress dowager and could not copy such scriptures? Or did they not want the emperor to get better?
This way, they no longer dared to complain.
In Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng wiped the emperor’s body together and changed into clean clothes. They were already sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Although they were also servants, as the eunuchs by the emperor’s side, there was no need for them to do it themselves. With just an order, there were naturally people fighting to help.
However, the situation was different now. In order to prevent too many people from talking, not only did they have to do everything for the emperor, but they also had to be afraid all day. After more than half a month, the two of them had lost weight.
The emperor had a cloth stuffed in his mouth and was glaring at the two of them.
As long as he was awake, he would basically look like this. After such a long time, the two of them were still a little frightened.
Eunuch Li smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Your Majesty, I’ll change a cloth for you.”
The emperor was so angry that he panted heavily and continued to glare at him.
Eunuch Li cowered and mustered his courage to pull out the cloth that had long been drenched in saliva from his mouth. Eunuch Deng immediately stuffed a new ball back into his mouth.
“Your Majesty, we’re doing this because we’re afraid that you’ll bite your tongue. If you persist, someone will come and save us soon,” Eunuch Deng explained.
The heavy rain that had been falling for the entire day stopped, but the drizzle continued. Listening to the pattering rain outside the house, the two of them felt inexplicably sad.
They knew better than anyone that once Shangguan Pu succeeded in taking over, the two of them would be the first to be killed.
What a good reason to die for the Lord.
Just as they were sighing, the hall door was pushed open from the outside. The two of them’s hearts skipped a beat and they quickly went out to welcome him.
“Your Highness.”
Shangguan Pu didn’t even look at the two of them and walked straight into the inner hall.
Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng looked at each other and quickly followed.
Shangguan Pu walked to the bed and reached out to open the bright yellow curtain. Unexpectedly, he met the emperor’s gaze.
Seeing the cloth ball in his mouth, Shangguan Pu turned around and kicked Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li to the ground. He said angrily, “Useless slaves, is this how you take care of my father?”
Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li fell to the ground. Ignoring the pain in their bodies, they quickly knelt down. “Your Highness, please forgive me. I did this because I was worried that Your Majesty would suddenly be able to speak and call the people outside over. If I ruin Your Highness’s plan.”
Shangguan Pu raised his eyebrows. “Oh, so you’re all doing this for me?”
“I would never dare to lie to His Highness,” Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li said with trembling voices.
Shangguan Pu sneered and sat down on the bed. He reached out and pulled the cloth out of the emperor’s mouth.
“Don’t worry, this Yangxin Hall is filled with my people. Not to mention that
Father won’t recover, even if he can shout, no one will come in.”
Eunuch Deng and Eunuch Li felt bitter. “Then I’m relieved.”
The emperor was like a ferocious beast that had its limbs restrained and was trying its best to break free. His entire body trembled violently, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He glared at the three of them, wishing he could bore a hole in them.
Shangguan Pu glanced at him from above and smiled. “Father, don’t be angry. I’ve already taught these two useless things a lesson.”
As he spoke, he picked up the cloth in his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
It was unknown where the emperor got the strength from, but he raised his head and bit Shangguan Pu
t
s hand tightly.
Shangguan Pu suddenly pulled his hand out. There was already blood on it. His eyes turned cold and he slapped the emperor’s head to the side.
However, he was still angry. He raised his hand, wanting to continue hitting him.
Eunuch Li did not have time to think. He quickly pounced over and hugged him. “Your Highness, you can’t.”
“Useless slave, you’re courting death.” Shangguan Pu kicked him away. He took two steps forward and reached out to grab his neck.
Eunuch Li’s face quickly turned red. He trembled and could not speak. Just now, he had subconsciously pounced..
