Prince Kang worked very quickly. Before long, he had brought a few trusted officials to pay their respects. They reported that most of Ao Bai's followers had been captured and that the original guards in the palace had been ordered to leave the palace. They did not leave a single person. They requested the Emperor to send another guard to protect the Emperor.
Kang Xi was very happy and said,"It's done very well!"”
Several princes, princes, and ministers were horrified to see nearly twenty young eunuchs in the study with their skulls shattered and intestines pierced and bones broken. They all cursed Ao Bai in unison for his treason. The Minister of Justice personally took Oboi into custody. The princes and ministers said many respectful words of praise for the emperor's peace, and then left to discuss how to punish Oboi.
Prince Kang's letter conveyed Kangxi's intentions and instructed everyone,"The Emperor is benevolent and filial. He does not want to kill too many people and alarm the Empress Dowager. Therefore, there is no need to expose Oboi's treasonous deeds to the court. We only need to list out his usual control of government affairs and his crimes.”
The princes and ministers praised his holiness in unison.
The assassination of the Emperor was no small matter. Oboi would be executed by a thousand cuts, but his entire clan, including the elderly, women and children, as well as his family members and clansmen, would not be spared. If this major case was carried out, it would implicate a wide range of people, and at least thousands of people would die. Although the little Emperor hated Oboi for being domineering, he did not want to accuse him of anything, much less implicate the innocent.
After a while, Wei Xiaobao was finally allowed to leave.
Back at his residence, the old eunuch began to ask about today's events. He knew about Oboi's capture, but Wei Xiaobao would not tell the truth. He added fuel to the fire and said a lot of nonsense. Hai Dafu only sneered and looked at Wei Xiaobao with the same lewd gaze a man would look at a naked beauty.
Eh? Eyes! Why would this old blind man show such an expression!
Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that two of his three souls and six of his seven souls had run away. Looking at the way this damn eunuch was looking at him, it was obvious that he wanted to tear him into pieces! That's not right. I haven't obtained the 42 chapters yet. This old eunuch wouldn't go so far as to make things difficult for me, right?
Also, how was this a blind old man? This fellow was not blind at all. He had been lying to him all along.
"Humph!"
Hai Dafu stared at him for a moment before he reached out and grabbed Wei Xiaobao's crotch. Wei Xiaobao couldn't dodge in time and was caught by the eunuch.
" Hahaha…" Satisfied, the old eunuch let out a series of hair-raising, rubbish-metal-like laughter."Little Gui Zi, let's be honest with each other. I'm not blind, I was just lying to you. You're not Little Gui Zi, you're the brat Mao Shi Ba brought here. If I spread the news that you're a fake eunuch, how do you think the emperor will punish you?”
"Eunuch, please forgive me. I was wrong. I will never lie to you again. If you want me to go east, I will never go west. If you want me to die, I will never live, Eunuch." Wei Xiaobao begged for mercy and bowed with his hands folded in front of his chest. He twisted his body in an attempt to break free from the grip of the evil claw. His penis being grabbed by an old eunuch was usually only used in one situation. Hmm, what was it called? Oh, right, it was called castration.
He was very anxious. If this old fellow were to ruthlessly pinch this thing of his, then he would become a real eunuch! If he didn't even have this thing, what was the point of living? He should just bang his head against the wall and die as soon as possible to save himself the embarrassment.
"Hehe, good child, don't worry. As long as you're obedient, I won't make things difficult for you.”Hai Dafu released his grip.
Wei Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief."Thank you, Eunuch. This servant will never forget your great kindness.”
In his heart, he had already cursed the old eunuch's ancestors for eighteen generations. It was true that he would never forget it, but he was only thinking about how to destroy him.
At noon the next day, the Empress Dowager summoned Wei Xiaobao. This gave him a headache again. This woman was not easy to deal with, and she was a fake Empress Dowager. If she tried to make things difficult for him, he would definitely have to bear the consequences.
As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. But Wei Xiaobao felt that no one was safe in the palace.
As the empress dowager's residence, Cining Palace was naturally magnificent. The vermilion floor was polished so clean that it could be used as a mirror. There were also countless pavilions and pavilions.
"This servant Xiao Guizi pays respects to the Empress Dowager! May the Empress Dowager live a thousand years." Without even looking at the Empress Dowager, Wei Xiaobao threw himself on the ground in front of her.
A female voice sounded, sounding a little lazy." You must be Little Guizi who saved the Emperor, right? Raise your head and let me see!"
“嗻。”Wei Xiaobao raised his head slowly, a look of surprise flashing across his eyes.
This empress dowager was actually so beautiful.
"Yes, not bad. He's quite handsome.”The empress dowager smiled, not putting on any airs.
However, Wei Xiaobao rolled his eyes. What was the use of a eunuch being handsome? He was not going to be a duck.
Although he thought so in his heart, the words coming out of his mouth were very different.
"Empress Dowager? It really was the Empress Dowager! She's actually so young and beautiful!" Wei Xiaobao said in his sweet and tender voice,"It seems that Xiao Guizi's decision was right. In order to see the legendary, the greatest, most beautiful, and kindest empress dowager, she castrated herself. After experiencing many hardships, she finally saw the empress dowager who was so beautiful that she could even hide the moon and flowers.”
He had castrated himself just to see the Empress Dowager. How much courage did that take? Everyone knew he was lying. If the eunuch had said something like that, the Empress Dowager would have been disgusted. But Wei Xiaobao was a child. His voice was sweet and crisp, so the Empress Dowager would only be happy.
The empress dowager was indeed very happy. She smiled and said,"Little doll, you have such a sweet mouth."
After a pause, she continued,"I heard from the Emperor that you made a great contribution in capturing the traitor Oboi yesterday."”
"To the Empress Dowager," Wei Xiaobao said softly. I only know how to be loyal and protect my master. If the emperor tells me what to do, this servant will do it. This servant is young and doesn't know anything.”
He had only been in the palace for two months, but when he was gambling, he had heard the eunuchs talk about the rules of the palace and the court. He remembered them all. He knew that as a master, it was most taboo for servants to claim credit. The greater your credit, the more you had to pretend that you had no credit at all. Only then would the master like it. If you showed even the slightest arrogance, you might be killed, which would cause the master to hate you and not favor you. Therefore, he was very cautious.
