The guard quickly explained, "I don't have any extra meaning. Eunuch, don't think too much. I'm just a chatterbox, I won't say anything."
The eunuch did not continue. He felt that he had talked too much.
"Hurry, let's hurry to the main hall. This matter is a little urgent, I have to hurry up and tell the Battle-King about this matter." The eunuch was getting anxious. He had forgotten his superiority from before. Now, all he wanted was to complete his mission.
It was a big mistake to waste so much time.
"Alright, alright. The main hall is right in front of us. It's almost here." Noticing the change in his eunuch's mood, the guard chose to remain silent.
Walking along the small path to the main hall, he was practically walking through half of the prince's mansion. The eunuchs who were normally not active were so tired that their tongues almost popped out of their chests.
Fortunately, the eunuch did not know that the bodyguard was guiding him blindly, so he thought that the Battle King Manor was really that big. At this moment, his heart only had one word, 'tired'.
The guard noticed the expression on the eunuch's face and smiled, "This is the place. Eunuch, please."
The eunuch immediately walked in, and upon seeing the chair closest to him, he immediately went in. It was very hot outside, but he didn't know why, but once he walked in, he felt his entire body turn cold.
The guard then explained, "I don't know why this room is so cold. Other people's main hall is usually cool, but our main hall is especially cold. We all joked that it's because the Battle-King's temper is too cold.
If you meet someone who doesn't know anything or something, you will go crazy. His personality is cold, and even his own house will go according to his character. "
He needed to be careful, he needed to be clear about something. He absolutely could not allow himself to become this kind of person who did not know anything and could not do things that he thought were stupid. He was still in his territory.
"I wonder what will happen to the Battle-King that will send him into a rage?" the eunuch asked quickly.
The guard took the chance to continue, "We, the Battle King, do not like these kinds of people, nor do we like dealing with them. If there is someone like him, we do not even need to see what's going on, we will definitely go crazy."
With that, he started to lower his head and quietly said, "Sigh, I don't know when my Battle King developed this habit. It was like this a while ago, I didn't think that we, the Battle King, would directly send people to cripple him. "Sigh, what about that person? He really is in a bit of a sorry state."
The eunuch's complexion instantly changed. His face was deathly pale, and he thought that he was sick.
With that, he walked out. Looking at his eunuch's performance, his reaction was a bit stiff. Even when he spoke at the end, he did not look at him. This was a really good reaction.
The eunuchs were alone in the hall. There were maids in the hall, so their breathing could barely be heard. The eunuchs thought that he was the only one in the room. The more they stared at him, the colder they felt, and the more terrifying they felt.
When he thought of the Battle King's decree, he felt that it wasn't safe to be alone. He said to himself, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. There is the Emperor here."
"Eunuch, your tea is ready." A sound broke the rhythm of his fear.
"This tea is still warm. Drink it first, I'll go find the Battle-King right now." The guard spoke slowly, especially when he emphasized the words' Battle-King '. His eunuch actually shivered.
He quickly picked up the teacup. There was no tea in the teacup, so the guard quickly filled it up and drank it all in one gulp.
His eyes were lifeless and devoid of any spirit.
"This humble servant came to announce the decree of His Majesty to send the Battle-King to guard the border." The eunuch's eyes were dull as he said these words in a calm tone.
"I will pass on the message for you." The guard tried his best to calm his excitement, trying not to laugh out loud, pretending to be very calm.
Fortunately, he had been trained before. Even though he was not as strong as Lei Yu and the others, he had a certain level of professionalism. When he shouldn't be laughing, he would definitely be lying.
While the Battle-King was in his study room looking at the most recent classified documents, he heard a series of knocks on the door.
"Come in." A dignified and deep voice sounded out from the study room.
A guard walked in.
"Your subordinate pays his respect to the Battle-King."
"No need for formalities."
"Battle-King, the eunuch said outside that it was an imperial decree. The Emperor has sent you to guard the border." The guard reported truthfully.
When the voice reached the Battle-King's ears, his eyes were fixed on the painting beside him.
However, after the time it took to make a cup of tea, the Battle King continued, "To the eunuch that came, I said that I was too ill to go out to battle. Father, please choose another virtuous and virtuous one."
"Yes." After the guard heard the Battle King's reply, he left.
The Battle-King looked at the painting beside him and a faint smile appeared on his face. This smile contained a hint of gentleness.
His hand began to rub the painting in his hand repeatedly.
Her eyes were bright, pure, and clear, and filled with love.
The Battle-King stood up and walked to the window, closing his eyes.
"Your Eunuch, the Battle King was just found out that he had a serious illness and is unable to set off. Please go back and answer. " The guard said these words respectfully.
"I got it." "I'll leave now." The eunuch stood up shakily and walked out of the room.
"Let me show you the way." The guard was really kind and pointed the way, but he soon came out. At this time, the eunuch was still in a state of shock and didn't come back yet. He also didn't pay attention to the specific route, only feeling that there were twice as many paths as before.
When the eunuch saw the main gate of the Battle King Manor, he quickly followed the guard and quickened his pace.
"I can finally leave this terrifying place. This is truly a happy occasion." The eunuch thought to himself.
When they were almost to the entrance of the Battle King Manor, the eunuchs were practically running out.
The guard stood at the door to bid farewell to the eunuch, but the eunuch ran as if he had seen a ghost. Ignore them.
The Battle King's first thought was of Feng Yu. Now, with great difficulty, he had obtained a tiny bit of goodwill from Feng Yu. If he left at this time, then everything he had done would have been for naught. In the time it took to make a cup of tea, the Battle King had thought of many things. If he were to withdraw now, then it would not be so easy for him to take in Feng Yu in the future.
Not just Feng Yu, even Dou Dou found it difficult to get close to him. When a child grew up, without a father by their side, it would be difficult for them to maintain their kinship, even with their own flesh and blood.
The Battle King was dressed in a long black robe and stood upright like a pine tree. His white jade-like face appeared even more solemn and dignified.
Surprisingly, this ice face actually smiled.
He said to himself, "Feng Yu, I will protect you well." The confident smile on his face matched well with his clothes.
Xuanyuan Zhan called Shangguan Yi to discuss the countermeasures. After planning everything out, he waited for other people's plans.
Within the imperial palace.
The emperor fed the fish near the lily pond and looked at the lotus flowers, thinking about his life and recent events.
"Zhan'er, royal father has let you down. In the future, the one who will inherit the throne will be the crown prince. In order for the crown prince to successfully inherit the throne, you have no choice but to sacrifice yourself." The Emperor apologized to Xuanyuan Zhan in his heart.
The fish scramble to fish food, lotus flowers also scramble to release their own buds.
"Your Majesty, I will go to the Battle King Manor and announce the decree. However, I didn't expect the Battle King to fall ill at this time, and didn't even get up. "Send a messenger to inform this commoner that my body is very ill and that I am not in control of any borders. I hope that the emperor can find another person who is virtuous and virtuous."
Even the eunuchs were not as afraid of the emperor as they were of the Battle King Manor.
When the emperor heard this news, he got angry and threw all the fish food in his hands into the lily pond. The fish were frightened by the water splashes as they hid in the water.
The eunuch had said everything he knew. What was the use of it after all? It was just a message. No matter how angry the emperor was, it wouldn't take his life or even his limbs.
He wasn't so afraid himself. After the Emperor finished listening, he was furious.
"F * ck off." the Emperor shouted.
The eunuch sensibly retreated.
The Emperor looked in the direction of the Battle King Manor and truly did not expect that his son would have so much intelligence.
He knew that this wouldn't be a good mission, yet he was still able to find a way to pretend to be sick.
The border was not peaceful at all. The Emperor ordered Xuanyuan Zhan to personally supervise the battle! But in truth, if he won, the credit would not go to Xuanyuan Zhan;
The emperor was furious. He actually used his illness to escape. This was truly a thief.
However, it didn't matter if he was really sick or if he was just faking it. It probably wasn't that important anymore.
Xuanyuan Mo calmed his emotions and turned to look at the lotuses in the lotus pond. They were still as beautiful and alluring as before.
The fish in the water saw that there was no danger, so they chose to come out again. A few fish were fighting over the fish food.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at the scenery and purposely shifted his attention.
What he could not tell himself was that his son was not sick. He had received the imperial edict, and then he had gone to the border. He might not even have a chance to survive.
Regardless of whether he was sick or not, if he actually said that he was sick, then it was as if he was sick.
This illness would not recover for a period of time. While he was recuperating, he wouldn't take even half a step out of the palace. He wouldn't be a threat to the Crown Prince. That would be fine.
They were both their fathers, so they couldn't be too heartless. The Emperor comforted himself.
Someone, bring the royal physician and the top-grade Swallow Mushroom Ganoderma to the Battle King Manor to treat the War King's pulse and check his illness. Those medicinal herbs are for the War King to heal his body. The emperor's face didn't have the slightest expression as he spoke in a very serious tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid said.
Everyone arranged for the imperial doctors and medicinal ingredients to arrive at the crown prince's mansion and the Battle King Manor.
