The night sky in Xianyang was extremely dark. The moonlight was dim and oppressive, as if it was a sign that something big was about to happen.
Eunuch Xu stood guard outside the door, listening to Prince Xiaowen's growls and Qing Mei's panting. He couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly thought that he should call a royal physician over. After all, the Emperor was old. If he had been like this for three days, he might need to take good care of his body.
Presumably, His Majesty would also praise his thoughtfulness.
As he thought about it, he instructed the young eunuch beside him,""Guard outside well. No one is allowed to see anyone who comes, understand?”
"Yes."
"Yes." Eunuch Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction after showing off his might to the young eunuch. However, for some reason, when he looked at the young eunuch in front of him, he thought of the red-haired young eunuch. That fellow spoke in a gloomy manner. He was really annoying.
As he thought about it, he turned around and prepared to look for the imperial physician.
At this moment, a scream tore through the peaceful night sky of Xianyang Palace.
Bang!
The door opened with a bang. The green beauty was only wearing a light veil. She looked extremely panicked and her entire body was trembling. She looked at Eunuch Xu, ignoring the fact that her skin was exposed.
"Eunuch! Eunuch! His Majesty, he…he…no longer has any breath.”
Kacha!
At some point in time, large dark clouds had gathered in the sky. The night sky became so dark that one could not even see one's fingers. Lightning flashed across the dark clouds, illuminating Eunuch Xu's already pale face.
He knew very well what it meant for the Emperor to lose his breath. As the Emperor's personal eunuch, he might die!
However, he wasn't stupid. The Emperor's death, Zhao Gao's daily inquiries, and Xiang Shou's tributes were just as he had said. He had seen and experienced all kinds of people in the 30 years he had been in Xianyang Palace.
His Majesty's death was not an accident. The woman in front of him was a life-saving thing!
"Hurry up and inform Madam Hua Yang!" Eunuch Xu made the right choice at this moment. He sent the eunuch away to inform Madam Hua Yang. At the same time, for the convenience of King Xiaowen, the guards stayed far away from the room.
The sky was dark now, so no one had noticed the commotion here.
Eunuch Xu's expression became extremely vicious. His eyes shone with a fierce light, like a malicious ghost that was about to devour someone. He grabbed onto Qing Mei's clothes and said in a cold and harsh voice,"Do you want to live?"
The azure beauty hurriedly nodded. Her Majesty had died on her bed. She knew what this meant. She was going to be buried with him. She didn't want to die.
"Alright, leave the palace immediately and arrange the carriage. You are a green beauty, so go and take the Emperor's token. No guards will dare to stop you. After you leave the palace, go to General Xiang Shou's residence and find him. Tell him what happened and he will protect you. Tell him that the three of us are in the same boat. If one dies, the remaining two will not live!”
"Yes, yes, Eunuch Gong. I'll go now.”The green beauty quickly stood up and casually put on two sets of clothes. She took the token of King Xiaowen and left the room. At this time, Eunuch Xu had already ordered the maids to arrange the carriage of the green beauty.
Qing Mei boarded the carriage and the group of people hurried towards the palace gates.
Although the palace maids were curious as to why Qing Meiren would come to a foreign official's house at night, since it was Eunuch Xu's order, they didn't dare to question it.
After sending the green beauty away, the little eunuch went to invite Madam Hua Yang and she still hadn't returned.
Eunuch Xu looked at Prince Xiaowen who was lying on the bed. He was in such a sorry state. There was a pool of blood on the bedsheet. He had been partying every night. What came out was already blood.
Eunuch Xu closed his eyes in regret. For the first time, he regretted being greedy. This time, he might even lose his life.
"Crown Prince, your heart is so ruthless. What a vicious plan.”
He opened his eyes and his expression became extremely gloomy. He steadied his mind and even tidied up his clothes. He had also thought of the flaws that Zhao Mu had thought of before. There was no one in the palace who was under the Crown Prince.
Therefore, no one would know that King Xiaowen had died.
Eunuch Xu had no intention of hiding it either. He just needed a time gap, a time gap that was enough for the green beauty to reach General Xiang Shou's residence. Although he didn't know, he could guess that the green beauty was given to Xiang Shou by the Crown Prince, and Xiang Shou had become the Crown Prince's knife.
"I've been in Xianyang Palace for thirty years. I'm not that stupid. If you want me to shut up, let's see what you're capable of, Your Highness!”
As he spoke, he closed the door and instructed the guards not to disturb the Emperor's rest. He quickly walked towards the place where he had a secret meeting with Zhao Gao every day. He wanted to talk to the Crown Prince. As long as he died, Xiang Shou and Qing Mei would tell him everything.
Therefore, the Crown Prince couldn't kill him. At the same time, he was covering for Qing Mei and drawing the Crown Prince's attention to him. Xiang Shou's residence wasn't far from Xianyang Palace. When he finished talking with Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao would report that the green beauty had definitely arrived at Xiang Shou's place.
However, Eunuch Xu did not know that although Zhao Gao did not have the right to stay by King Xiaowen's side, Zhao Mu had asked him to stay on the road from Zhangtai Palace to Madam Hua Yang. When he saw the little eunuch who was sweating profusely and looking anxious, he knew that the matter had been settled.
Therefore, Zhao Mu had already started to take action at that time.
"Zhao Gao, how dare you kill the emperor!!”Eunuch Xu looked at Zhao Gao and berated him in a deep voice.
However, Zhao Gao looked at him mockingly, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Zhao Gao was only eleven years old and was not very tall. He looked at Eunuch Xu with a cold expression. Suddenly, a bright white light pierced through the night. Eunuch Xu grunted and was pushed onto the fake mountain by Zhao Gao. Blood slowly dripped down the dagger.
"Old thing, you're quite capable. You actually dared to send the green beauty out of the palace. You're very smart, but compared to Teacher, you're far inferior.”
Eunuch Xu's pupils dilated!
How could this be? The Crown Prince's men actually knew about the news of the Emperor's death in advance.
