"Don't worry, Eunuch!"
Li Yan smiled confidently."This old man has an adopted daughter. She is a rare beauty in the world and will definitely satisfy the Emperor. As long as you bring her into the palace and present her to the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely be delighted!" Gonggong will be able to report!"
"Perhaps, Eunuch Gong will gain even more of the Saint's heart!”
Cao Jin naturally wasn't that easy to fool. He said worriedly,""Mr. Li, can you let me see her first?”
"Naturally."
Then, Li Yan ordered the butler outside the door to ask the 'adopted daughter' to come over.
Not long after, a young girl came to the study.
The young girl was about 28 years old and had grown up to be slim and elegant. Her eyebrows were like green feathers, her skin was like white snow, and her face was like peach blossoms. She indeed had a face that could hide the moon and shame flowers.
Most importantly, the young lady had a natural charm to her.
Seeing the young girl, Cao Jin was very surprised.
Even though he had been a eunuch for so many years and was no longer interested in women, he could not help but praise the beauty of the young girl in front of him.
Li Yan was not exaggerating.
Such a woman was indeed rare in the world.
"Wan 'er greets foster father."
The young girl bowed. Her voice was like an oriole, crisp and elegant, making one's bones feel lighter.
Li Yan chuckled and turned to look at Cao Jin.
"Eunuch Cao, how is it?"
"Good!" Cao Jin couldn't help but praise,"You're indeed a rare beauty."”
In his heart, he was cursing Li Yan: You old thing, you actually hid such a top-grade beauty. You probably want to give her to the emperor to take credit. You're already a high-ranking official, yet you're still so greedy.
Cao Jin knew that if this beauty was sent to the palace, she would definitely be Li Yan's woman and would not be grateful to him.
If the Emperor was bewitched by this little vixen, then Li Yan would really be able to cover the sky with one hand.
Although he knew, Cao Jin had no other choice.
Unless he was willing to stop Yu Qian from executing him.
That was impossible.
Yu Qian regarded Cao Jin as a thorn in his side. The two of them had long been in a life-and-death situation.
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly said,"Eunuch, this adopted daughter of mine was adopted from a distant relative. This child has a hard life. She has no parents since she was young. After entering the palace, she has no one to rely on. Please take care of her in the palace. This old man is extremely grateful."”
Cao Jin understood his ally and knew that this old fellow was not that kind.
"Mr. Li, I don't like to beat around the bush. What are your plans?”
"Alright, since Eunuch Gong is straightforward, then this old master will be straightforward.”
Li Yan smiled and suddenly said,"Eunuch, don't you think Empress Xiao is a hindrance? "Our emperor would never be like this in the past…"
Cao Jin was shocked when he heard this.
The old eunuch was also a smart person. He immediately understood that Li Yan wanted to get his hands on the harem!
Sending this girl into the palace was actually to seize the position of Empress!!
Wasn't this old man's power enough? He was really ambitious!
"Mr. Li, if there is any change in the Emperor, I am just a servant and can't care so much. As for the Empress, I don't have the ability to touch her!”Cao Jin refused without thinking.
What a joke.
If Li Yan's people really took control of the harem, would there still be a place for Cao Jin in the future?
"Eunuch, don't be in such a hurry to refuse…10 million taels!”
"What?" Cao Jin looked at Li Yan in surprise.
Li Yan smiled and said,"Eunuch is worried that this old man will meddle in the affairs of the palace. Please rest assured, Eunuch. This old man just doesn't want anyone to bewitch the Emperor and affect you and me…This old man will offer another ten million taels of silver. With this silver, even if Eunuch is replaced in the future, you will be able to live freely."”
"This…"
Cao Jin hesitated under the temptation of money.
Although he could also earn money, most of it had to be sent to the palace. His current net worth was only a few million taels. If he wanted to earn ten million taels, he did not know how long it would take.
Cao Jin had already lost the fun of being a man. His only hobby now was money.
Ten million taels was too tempting for him!!
On the
other side, Feng Zhong received Zhao Zheng's order and immediately left the palace. He rode a fast horse and rushed to the execution ground.
The execution ground was located at Caishikou of the capital, which was still some distance away from the Imperial City. Therefore, Feng Zhong did not dare to delay. He rode as fast as he could, disturbing many pedestrians along the way.
At this moment, Caishikou was already packed with people.
Countless citizens of the capital came to watch the show.
Because this time, the person being executed was a high-ranking official!
The prime minister!
Ever since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, there had never been a situation where even the Prime Minister was publicly executed.
Under normal circumstances, if the Emperor did not like the Prime Minister, the most he could do was dismiss him from his official position and send him away. Then, he would order people to secretly deal with him on the way.
After all, he had managed to get to the position of Prime Minister. It would not be good to publicly kill him.
It was the first time that someone was dragged to the market to be beheaded!
