1042 The apex of the tyrant 18(1/2)
After Pei Ye gave the order, Eunuch Gui, who always had a wink, did not immediately accept the order.
Pei Ye let go of Shen Manqing impatiently.
Eunuch Gui immediately knelt on the ground.
He said thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, the status of the Imperial Concubine is extraordinary. This..."
Forget about the subtle persecution, as long as the imperial concubine is willing, it can be interpreted as lowering her status in order to win favor.
But if you rush to convey the decree, are you really not afraid of being found out by the previous dynasty?
Those censors were not polite.
If not, it will cause dissatisfaction among General Yun's faction.
But Eunuch Gui had no chance to say what he said next.
Shen Manqing, who was originally lying in Pei Ye's arms, sat up instantly.
"Okay, you two, master and servant, stop acting here.
One is a good guy and the other is a bad guy, do you think I can't tell?"
"Your Majesty... I don't mean this. Your Majesty..."
"Shut up, I tell you to go, you go, what? You also want to make me miserable?
Or is it that I, the king of a country, can’t decide which woman I want to sleep with?”
Eunuch Gui was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed three times.
"Yes, yes, it's the slave who talks too much. I'll go right away."
-
When Eunuch Gui returned to Qinzheng Hall from the secret passage, his expression was not very good.
A lean little eunuch came over.
He said diligently.
"Godfather, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so sad? Is there anything I can do for you from my son?"
Eunuch Gui sighed helplessly.
"You can't help our family with this matter."
"If you don't tell me about your godfather, how can your son help you?"
Eunuch Gui raised his head and glanced at the roof, "The emperor asked me to go to Simu Palace to convey the decree, and for the imperial concubine to go to Chenghuan Palace to sleep."
No one can do this for you.
"This is a good thing. It means that the emperor trusts you, godfather." Zhuo Fang said enviously.
If he could get along and deliver edicts to the emperor, he would laugh out of his dreams.
"You are responsible for all the important matters of the Emperor. You don't know how many people respect you now both inside and outside the palace. You are the most favored person in front of the Emperor.
From my son's point of view, those ladies and gentlemen, when they see you, they are almost ready to meet the emperor."
"Don't talk nonsense, you want to be beheaded, don't you?" Gui Eunuch scolded him coldly.
Zhuo Fang laughed dryly.
"My son is wrong. It's a slap in the face. But although it's wrong to say it, it's enough to show that it's extraordinary for you, godfather, to be in the harem here."
"The last few times I went to the Imperial Concubine's Palace, the Imperial Concubine actually dared to look down on her godfather, making it seem as if inviting her to sleep with her in the Chenghuan Palace would be like wronging her.
Aren't they all empresses in the harem? How can anyone really be more noble than the other?
I dare to show off to the emperor.
That's fine today, we are going with the emperor's instructions today, I wonder if the imperial concubine dares to refuse."
Eunuch Gui sighed again, "Okay, hurry up and call everyone over and go to Simu Palace."
Others only regarded him as a famous person in front of the emperor, with a good reputation and a deep affection for the emperor.
But only when you are in your position can you know that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and it is not just a matter of words.
It’s a good thing that the emperor is a courageous and powerful sage.
So as a popular person in front of the emperor, he really only needs to serve the emperor well.
But it's because he knows too much.
Realizing how ridiculous what the emperor was doing now, he felt increasingly unsure.
Just like what happened just now, don't remind the emperor. He didn't say a word about this kind of thing that was obviously against the rules. The emperor might think about it one day and blame him for only knowing how to flatter.
But remind me, you will offend Empress Shen.
Another thing he was worried about was.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
If the imperial concubine refused to sleep with her at first, it can also be said that she could not let go of her status as the imperial concubine.
But it's been so long.
So many concubines are pregnant.
She was still able to remain motionless and even took the sign of the concubine of the Yun family.
Obviously abnormal.
Maybe you've already felt something.
He didn't dare to say more about the emperor. After all, there was no evidence, and he might have to pay for it if he did anything wrong.
But if the guess in his heart is true.
If I go to announce the decree today, I'm afraid I won't get any favors.
Soon, Eunuch Gui led a large number of people to the Simu Palace.
Pei Ye conveyed his meaning with a smiling face.
"The Imperial Concubine, you'd better prepare quickly. The Emperor has been thinking about you a lot these days. He even personally issued an order announcing your passing."
Qing Yi and Liu Ying immediately changed their expressions after hearing Eunuch Gui's words.
Do they still need their empress to be grateful?
Chu Yun slowly took a sip of scented tea, without even looking at Eunuch Gui, and directly gave instructions to the person guarding the palace gate.
"Come here, drag out this eunuch who is pretending to preach the imperial edict and beat him to death with sticks."
Eunuch Gui froze and looked at Chu Yun in disbelief.
The last time I published Fallen Spring Leaves, I was accused of falsely conveying imperial edicts.
The girl herself was not careful in what she said, and she didn't say anything after being insulted like this.
But he did not pretend to preach the imperial edict.
"My dearest concubine, this servant did not falsely pass on the imperial edict. This is the emperor's oral order... hmm."
Before Eunuch Gui finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by several young eunuchs who suddenly rushed in.
Eunuch Gui's face turned pale.
When did the people in the imperial concubine's palace become so bold and decisive, without even a little hesitation?
Eunuch Gui was panicking.
"Stop, stop, do you want to resist the decree? Imperial Concubine, do you know what the crime of resisting the decree and disrespecting the decree is?"
Chu Yun sat on the chair and smiled slightly at Eunuch Gui.
The words were spoken to the eunuchs of Simu Palace.
"What are you still doing? Drag it on."
Several young and strong eunuchs came forward, but the people brought by Gui Eunuch couldn't stop them at all, and they knocked down those who tried to stop them.
Then, without saying a word, he dragged Eunuch Gui out of the palace gate and placed him on the wooden board.
He raised a thigh-thick wooden stick and hit Eunuch Gui with a loud bang.
Severe pain occurred, and Eunuch Gui realized that the imperial concubine was serious.
Lying on the board, he wailed and scolded Chu Yun for resisting the decree.
"Mother, someone sneaked out of the outer courtyard." Liu Ying came to Chu Yun and reported quietly.
"It's okay, just let her go."
Now the entire harem of princes and princesses are still in the womb.
Chu Yun didn't want to force him into the palace at this time.
But since Pei Ye was so free, he decided to take action against her.
