BXBX NOVEL Chapter 706 - 706 The Arrogant Dabao (2)
The Emperor was settled on the chaise lounge. The Empress walked to the bed. The Emperor on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. The Empress exclaimed in fear and took a few steps back.
Eunuch Li said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. His Majesty can’t do anything.”
The Empress panted in shock. She mustered her courage and came to the bed again. Looking at the Emperor’s gaze, she frowned. “His Majesty, can he hear us?”
!!
Eunuch Li nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Empress’s expression changed. “Then our matter is…”
Eunuch Li said, “I said that His Majesty can’t move or speak, so Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about His Majesty overhearing.”
In other words, he could not do anything even if he heard it, let alone do anything to them.
“You slave, you’re really bold…” The Empress rubbed her panicked heart. ” Blind His Majesty.”
Those eyes seemed to be piercing through her, and she was afraid when she saw them.
Eunuch Li took a piece of cloth and covered the Emperor’s eyes. Then, he asked, “Your Majesty, have you thought of who to appoint as the Emperor? Is it the Little Princess or Commandery Prince Li?”
The Empress paced around the room. “We can’t count on Yan’er anymore, so it’s naturally more appropriate for Li’er. But… how will we explain it to the ministers?”
Eunuch Li said unhurriedly, “His Majesty is infected with an evil illness and can’t govern the country, nor can he treat it. Therefore, he abdicated his throne to his descendant and will confer the title of the Emperor Emeritus. Empress, you will become the Empress Dowager.”
“Will they believe it?” The Empress asked worriedly.
Eunuch Li said, “His Majesty only discovered Your Majesty’s secret today and hasn’t had the time to announce it to the public yet. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, you’re still the Empress with a deep relationship with His Majesty. No one believes that you will harm His Majesty. With you stepping forward and His Majesty’s imperial edict as evidence, everything will come naturally.”
The Empress nodded as if in enlightenment.
What His Majesty suspected was that only Madam Tan knew. Perhaps there was also Consort Yun and Eunuch Wang. Consort Yun was nothing to be afraid of. She was a crazy woman. The entire world knew that she did not get along with him. No one would believe what she said. Moreover, Madam Tan was related to the Helian family and the Eldest Princess. Just her words alone were not enough to convince her. The most troublesome thing was Wang Dequan.
The Empress frowned. “By the way, where’s Wang Dequan? His Majesty has been in trouble for so long, but he didn’t come over…”
Eunuch Li said indifferently, “Then there’s only one possibility. He escaped, and he knows everything.”
The Emperor walked quickly, and Eunuch Wang only arrived at the Central Palace later. He was also someone who often entered and left the Central Palace. No one would keep an eye on him, let alone guard against him. When he walked near Nangong Yan’s room, he heard an intense argument, the Empress’s begging for mercy, and a loud collision. After that, he saw Li Yu enter the room with a dagger with his own eyes. Immediately after, the door was locked.
He was not a three-year-old child, so how could he not guess that the Emperor was most likely dead?
It was not that he had never thought of calling them guards, but so what if he did? With the Empress’s ability, how could she not pretend to be at the scene?
He was afraid that the guards would expose himself if they did not capture the Empress. It was even more impossible for him to rush in to save His Majesty. With his weak little body, that Li fellow could kick him to the King of Hell Hall!
Of course, it was true that Eunuch Wang was afraid of death, but it was also true that he had to consider the overall situation.
He had long learned from Madam Tan that the Empress was a vicious woman. Now that she had harmed the Emperor, he could guess what she was going to do next. However, without the heirloom seal, she could dream on!
Eunuch Wang returned to the imperial study and secretly put away the Emperor’s heirloom seal! He put away the heirloom seal and walked out of the palace!
At this moment, only the Eldest Princess could save the Emperor and Nanzhao! He had to see her!
“Eunuch Wang! Where are you in such a hurry? Is His Majesty busy again?” Along the way, an imperial guard joked with him.
Eunuch Wang wished he could slap him. What Wang? What Eunuch? I’m escaping for my life. Can you not expose my whereabouts?
“Go, go, go!” Eunuch Wang waved his hand impatiently and hugged the heirloom seal tightly as he walked towards the palace door.
Just as he was about to leave the palace, a demonic voice sounded beside him.
