708 Empress Deposed (1)
Eunuch Wang was stunned. For a moment, he thought he had seen it wrongly. It was not until he rubbed his eyes and Dabao was still holding the heirloom seal that his eyes finally widened.
“What, what, what, what, what… is going on?”
Why were there two heirloom seals? One in Dabao’s hand, and one in the imperial study…
“Where did the little master’s heirloom seal come from?” Eunuch Wang asked in shock.
Yu Wan thought for a while and touched her chin. “The Emperor gave it to him.”
From your tone, you don’t seem very sure!
Please, this is an heirloom seal! It’s not something from the streets! Can you guys have some basic respect for it!!!
“Dabao, did His Majesty give you this?” Yu Wan asked her son.
Dabao was especially busy with stamping, but he still took the time to take a look at his mother. He nodded adorably and continued to stamp.
Eunuch Wang was completely petrified, leaving only the corners of his mouth twitching. Is this really the heirloom seal? Why do I feel like it’s a bag of cabbages after what you guys did?
But the Empress clearly had a heirloom seal in her hand. Why did Dabao have one too?
Eunuch Wang was stunned for a while before he remembered that Dabao had been holding onto the heirloom seal tightly a few days ago. In order to take the heirloom seal back, His Majesty had asked the craftsman to make a fake one. The appearance looked exactly the same as the real heirloom seal. The words engraved were different, but it was impossible to tell if one did not look carefully.
His Majesty originally planned to change the two heirloom seals after Dabao fell asleep. Unexpectedly, Yu Wan entered the palace later on. Dabao, who had a mother, instantly threw the heirloom seal to the back of his mind. The fake heirloom seal lost its value and was kept by the Emperor.
But… which was the real one? The one in the Empress’s hand or Dabao’s?
Eunuch Wang thought of something else. After learning that Dabao had fallen into the water, Yu Wan rushed over to bring the three children out of the palace. In order to keep Dabao, the Emperor took the heirloom seal to seduce him. At that time, it was true that the Emperor had it in his hand.
But didn’t Dabao not want it? The child was lying in his mother’s arms, clinging to her and didn’t even look at the heirloom seal.
Could it be that he still wanted it in the end? Not only did he want the heirloom seal, but he also wanted a stack of royal paper?
The royal paper was also known as the imperial silk. It was made of silk and was specially used to write imperial edicts. Whether it was the heirloom seal or the imperial silk, they were all things that could not be found among the commoners. But now, they appeared in Dabao’s hands at the same time.
The corners of Eunuch Wang’s mouth twitched.
Your Majesty, this is not how you dote on your great-grandson. Can you have a bottom line? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll depose you by writing nonsense? After all, the Eldest Princess and the Little Commandery Princess did not like you.
What happened was this—after Yu Wan left the central palace with the three little fellows, she went to the Vermilion Bird Palace to say goodbye to Consort Yun. The Emperor shamelessly “kidnapped” Dabao to the imperial study and seduced him with the heirloom seal.
Dabao took the heirloom seal and casually stamped a blank piece of royal paper. After he was done, he laughed like a pig.
Seeing that he liked it, the Emperor took out the royal papers from the drawer. In the end, the heirloom seal was taken away and the royal paper was carried away. But he was not left behind.
The Emperor, who wanted to cry: “…”
Eunuch Wang did not know about this small episode. He was not in the imperial study at that time, but even if he knew, he probably could not do better than the Emperor. He might even want to give the ink pad to the little black egg.
His intuition told Eunuch Wang that the heirloom seal in Dabao’s hand was real, and the one snatched away by the Empress was fake.
This was great!
Without the true heirloom seal, the Empress could dream on if she wanted to rebel!
The Emperor was most likely controlled by the Empress. If he wanted to save the Emperor, he had to depose the Empress first.
In a flash, Eunuch Wang had a brilliant idea. They had the heirloom seal and the royal paper in their hands. Depose her! Depose that old woman!
But soon, Eunuch Wang realized that he had rejoiced too early.
“Dabao, hurry up. Er’bao and I are done writing again!”
It was Xiaobao urging him.
Eunuch Wang turned around and his heart skipped a beat!
Oh my god, the two little black eggs were sitting crooked on the lawn in the courtyard. They were holding a brush in one hand and pressing the royal paper that Dabao had stamped with the seal with the other. They were drawing in a mess.
The-the-the-the imperial edict was ruined by you just like that?!
Eunuch Wang wished he could faint!!!
The three little black eggs had a clear division of labor. Dabao stamped them, Er’bao and Xiaobao drew them. They were extremely happy!
Seeing that the courtyard’s imperial edict had been wiped clean by the three little fellows just like that, Eunuch Wang wanted to cry even more than the Emperor.
