"Chief Steward, please excuse me." Song Yichen smiled and said to the eunuch.
"Is the Emperor's eldest grandson here to visit the Emperor? Unfortunately, the Emperor has just received the fourth prince, so his body is already tired and he's already rested. How about the two of you come back later? " The eunuch also smiled and said to Song Yichen, looking very disrespectful.
Unfortunately, this scene was looked down upon in Shen Kouqing's eyes. She already knew in her heart what kind of person he was, so there was no need to consider any further.
However, he had been with the Emperor for many years, and exterminating him wouldn't be an easy task. The most important thing at the moment was to cure the Emperor of his poison.
Only in this way would those people temporarily be unable to fight for the throne. After all, the emperor was still alive, so who would dare to bring up such an outrageous matter? Even if his head eunuch was one hundred times braver, he would absolutely not dare to do so!
"Since royal grandpa has already rested, then I will wait outside Heartbreak Palace with Zhangsun Fei. When royal grandpa is awake, we will go in to visit." Song Yichen had always been a gentle and refined person as he spoke.
Although the head eunuch wanted them to leave, he could not say it out loud. After all, he was his master, and this was his home, so what he wanted to do was not something a little head eunuch like him could interfere with. Without the emperor's words, the head eunuch was nothing.
"This …" The head eunuch looked like he wanted to speak, but was speechless. He spoke with some difficulty.
"What is it? Is there something wrong with me waiting here for the royal grandpa? " Song Yichen pretended not to know anything and asked.
However, it was true that he did not know what the eunuch was thinking. He was only teasing him on purpose.
"No, no. The eldest grandson of the emperor can do whatever he wants. It's just that the weather is hot, this servant fears that the two of you will suffer from heatstroke. Then …" This servant cannot afford it! " The chief eunuch spoke with a face full of fear and trepidation. He lowered his head and never raised his head to look at Song Yichen.
He didn't know why, but when Shen Kouqing saw the eunuch's expression, he really wanted to laugh. However, in the end, he still prevented himself from laughing, and stood at the side with a stern face without uttering a word.
There was such a rule in the royal family. If someone bigger than him were to talk, he wouldn't be able to interrupt. Even if he wanted to teach a servant a lesson, he couldn't.
If the royal grandpa blames me, I will take responsibility. After Song Yichen finished speaking, he ignored the eunuch and waited patiently with Shen Kouqing.
Since Song Yichen had already said so, the chief eunuch should finally be able to let go of his worries and leave. Since Song Yuanhui hadn't left yet, it should be possible for him to give chase in time.
"Since the Emperor has spoken, then this servant will take my leave." With that, the chief eunuch left.
Shen Kouqing still did not say a word. She was unable to guess what was on her mind, and could only wait quietly with her.
"His Highness the Ninth Prince, please wait!" The chief eunuch spoke in a somewhat hurried manner, panting for breath. He seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
"What is the matter, Chief Steward?" You actually made me chase after This King like this? " Song Yuanhui smiled as if he knew what was going on, and asked the chief eunuch this question even though he knew very well.
"Your Highness has a vigorous body, so naturally, you can walk very fast. This old servant has only walked two steps like this when I was over a hundred years old and was already panting heavily." The chief eunuch still had not recovered his composure, and spoke rather breathlessly.
"What's the matter, Control? It's better to just say it directly. This King does not like those who hide themselves. " Song Yuanhui smiled as he told the chief eunuch to speak out, even though he already knew what happened in his heart.
"Just now, His Majesty was willing to call upon you. This old servant has said quite a few good things in front of His Majesty!" The emperor! "His Highness is the son of the Emperor, so he is well aware of the situation. This old servant sees His Highness' filial piety and sympathies, this is easy to say, the emperor is only willing to give you a loose mouth, and the enmity between His Highness and the Emperor's father can be considered to have been resolved. This old servant's heart is a lot more at ease now."
In terms of other things, Song Yuanhui could understand the deeper meaning behind the words of the Chief Eunuch. It seemed that the Eunuch was a smart person.
But Song Yuanhui was a little hesitant, could this be a spy sent by the Emperor? Perhaps, he was trying to lure him in!
The chief eunuch had said earlier that the emperor was actually a suspicious person. If it really was just a probe, then wouldn't all his years of patience have been for naught?
Whether this person was an enemy or a friend, it would still take some effort before it could be verified. However, how would he spend this effort?
"If that's the case, this king has to thank the steward. If it wasn't for the steward's words giving This King a chance to be a saint, this king might still be kneeling in front of the Heartbreak Palace, enduring the pain of being exposed to the blazing sun's poison!" Song Yuanhui smiled as usual, pretending to be very grateful towards the Chief Eunuch.
He had only spoken these words to probe her, so how could the head eunuch not know!
He had lived in this palace for most of his life. From a mere eunuch to someone who was able to serve in the Heartbreak Palace, become the Emperor's trusted aide, and be promoted to the steward, this path was even more difficult than the so-called 'concubine turning from a concubine to an empress'.
This was also why Song Yuanhui was willing to waste so much time to test him. If he was truly willing to give in, then he would be like a tiger with wings.
As long as there was someone blowing on the emperor's ear, his ears would go soft, blowing on the wind, so naturally, he would be able to focus on Song Yuanhui.
The Crown Prince was blind and useless, he could not let go of all his sons and let Song Yichen be the emperor, right? So what if she was the grandson of the emperor? His body was weak, and compared to herself, he was like an ant.
How could such a proud person like Song Yuanhui be willing to be called an emperor by a sickly person and submit to him? Thailand was humiliated!
"There's no need to thank him. This old servant can only look at his highness to help with both preparations. He's practically the ruler of the country. Currently, his highness the crown prince is muddleheaded and immoral. The other princes are all useless …" The chief eunuch spoke in a much softer voice as he raised his eyelids and lowered his head to see what Song Yuanhui's reaction was.
"How dare you!" "You are just a little old servant, yet you dare to talk about the prince in such a reckless manner. Do you not want to live anymore?" Song Yuanhui rolled his eyes, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, and berated.
