"Emperor, look at your face full of joy. Did something good happen?”
Xiao Yuzhen was in a good mood when she saw the Emperor. She couldn't help but crack a joke.
Zhao Zheng laughed heartily. He was in a good mood now that Shangguan Wan 'er was loyal to him.
"There is indeed something good. I found that my empress is getting more and more beautiful!”
Such straightforward words of love were said in front of many palace maids and eunuchs.
The Empress's pretty face instantly turned red.
" Your Majesty…" Xiao Yuzhen's tone carried a hint of coquettishness.
Zhao Zheng laughed and waved at the eunuchs and serving girls beside him.
"All of you can leave!"
When they were all gone, Zhao Zheng immediately picked Xiao Yuzhen up.
……
Just as Zhao Zheng was enjoying himself, Cao Jin's " death " suddenly spread throughout the palace.
The people who received the news were very shocked. They did not even believe it at first.
It was only when they found out that the supervisor of the East Chamber had been replaced that they believed that the powerful Eunuch Cao was really dead.
Although Cao Jin was just a eunuch servant in front of Zhao Zheng, he was still a top boss in front of outsiders.
Moreover, Cao Jin was also the Emperor's favorite.
He actually died just like that?
In the Imperial Palace.
All the eunuchs and serving girls began to be cautious.
Because Cao Jin was a eunuch with the seal of the ceremonial supervisor and the supervisor of the East Chamber, he had a high position and a large group of people following him to eat.
Cao Jin's death would definitely implicate many people and even lead to a massacre.
It was said that the new supervisor of the East Chamber, Gu Dayou, was crazily capturing and killing people…
Outside the palace.
The ministers who received the news were also terrified.
Although Cao Jin had not been in power for long, there were already many officials who had sent gifts to Cao Jin and colluded with him. Some shameless people had even become Cao Jin's godsons…
Now that his godfather had been killed by the Emperor, how could his son not be afraid?
It could be said that Cao Jin's death caused an earthquake in the entire capital!
It was late at night.
Even though the capital had already entered curfew, there were still countless figures walking around in the dark to gather information.
For example.
At this moment, many officials were gathered in a small house.
"Lord Wang is here. Please come in."
"Lord Qian, what happened? Was Eunuch Cao really executed by the Emperor?”
"Lord Zhou, you are the most well-informed. What is the attitude of that person in the palace now?”
"Milords, we can't guess the exact information here. Why don't we go to Prime Minister Li's residence and ask?”
"That's a good idea. Minister Li should know the inside story. Count me in.”
"Together, together…"
……
Li Manor.
It was already late at night.
Li Yan still hadn't rested. He was sitting in the study practicing calligraphy.
At this moment, Li Yan's expression was calm, and he looked like an old well without any ripples.
However, after writing several times in succession, he was unable to reach his previous level.
Finally, Li Yan dropped his pen and stopped writing.
If the heart is not calm, how can you write well?
As the Prime Minister, Li Yan had already heard the news of Cao Jin's death.
Moreover, Li Yan also knew that Cao Jin was ambushed and killed by the Emperor!
Now, the new Chief Eunuch was Feng Zhong, the Great Eunuch of the Emperor. The East Chamber was also given to Gu Dayou by the Emperor.
This change made Li Yan extremely uneasy.
Everything was fine.
Why would that fatuous ruler kill Cao Jin?
And he killed them so cleanly!
Since when did a fatuous ruler have such methods?
Li Yan had a lot of questions that needed answers.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Li Yan frowned.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to disturb him in the study.
There must be something important for him to look for him at this time.
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and the old butler, Gao Fu, walked in with a bow.
"Master, there are a few lords outside who want to see you.”
Hearing this, Li Yan sneered.
Of course, he knew why these people had come to find him so late at night.
Cao Jin's matter had frightened these people so much that they could not sleep. What a bunch of trash.
"Send them away and tell them to be at ease!”
The old butler immediately bowed and left after receiving the order.
Li Yan was the only one left in the study.
……
The next day.
Zhao Zheng woke up naturally again.
Diligence?
It didn't exist!
Wasn't it good to be a fatuous ruler?
