“Indeed.” Xu Bai thought to himself that there was something inside.
He told Ye Zi to continue to stay here and study hard before following Eunuch Wei out.
Ye Zi looked at Xu Bai’s back and was a little stunned.
“Do you understand now?” The old woman chuckled.”
Ye Zi came back to her senses, a ball of fire burning in her eyes.”I understand. I want to work ten times harder than you. I don’t want to be like you. I just want to not fall behind and not burden you.”
“Then let’s begin.” The old woman smiled.
“Yes.” Ye Zi nodded vigorously.
A moment later, the sound of teaching came from the royal treasury again.
Under Eunuch Wei’s lead, Xu Bai, who was not familiar with the road, returned to his residence.
After the two of them entered the room, the people from the imperial kitchen arrived not long after. They served delicious food and even brought two jars of wine.
Eunuch Wei pried open the lid of the wine, but he did not pour it into the cup. Instead, he raised his head and took a sip.
This forthright appearance surprised Xu Bai.
“Why? Do you think that eunuchs are all especially feminine?”Eunuch Wei wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth.
Xu Bai came back to his senses. He didn’t say anything, but nodded directly.
Just say what you have and what you think. There’s no need to hide yourself in front of such a person.
“I was seriously injured because I followed His Majesty in battle. Lord Xu knows that I have fallen to this state today.””Before this, I was a forthright Jianghu tycoon,” Eunuch Wei said.
When people in Jianghu drink, they must drink in big bowls. Lord Xu, I toast you.”
Xu Bai understood the whole story. He slapped the clay seal off the wine jar and clinked it with Eunuch Wei’s. He also raised his head and took a sip.”A toast to Eunuch Wei as well.” He took another sip.
Eunuch Wei was interested.”
“Eunuch Wei could have been one of the founding fathers of the country, but he was willing to become a eunuch for the sake of the emperor and the world.””Of course, ” Xu Bai replied.
He knew that Eunuch Wei had been appreciated by the Emperor and was about to be conferred a high official. However, Eunuch Wei knew that he was a crippled person and was afraid of bringing some reputation problems to Great Chu. He would rather be a eunuch.
No matter what, the title of the head of eunuchs was just a eunuch.
For this kind of person, Xu felt that it was only right to toast him.
Eunuch Wei was stunned for a moment before he waved his hand nonchalantly.
He seemed reluctant to talk about this past. He raised the wine jar and took another sip, but the dishes on the table did not move at all.
Xu Bai drank and ate.
The two of them began to chat. They talked about the romance of the martial world and the various trivial things in the palace.
To Xu Bai’s surprise, he found Eunuch Wei to his liking. As they chatted, they actually hit it off.
Eunuch Wei was the same. Although this young man’s words were very slippery, he had his own principles in his heart. There were too few people like him.
After Xu Bai ate for a while, there was not much wine left. He put down the chopsticks in his hand with a puzzled look in his eyes.
“Eunuch Wei, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying about me interacting more with the Imperial Family.”
Eunuch Wei put down the wine jar in his hand and said, “”1 don’t mean anything else. With Lord Xu’s current strength, they definitely want to interact more witn you. Lora xu can ao wnatever ne wants.”
“Oh, it seems that Your Majesty wants me to let go.” Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.”
He could see Eunuch Wei as the Emperor’s eyes and ears, and also as someone who conveyed the Emperor’s intentions. Thus, he was testing if this was the Emperor’s intention.
Eunuch Wei took another sip.” Half of His Majesty’s nine sons and daughters have died on the battlefield. Only the eldest, sixth, seventh, and ninth are left.”
“Boss is still guarding the border and following King Sheng You. There are only six, seven, and nine left in the palace.”
“Although you have never met the Ninth Princess, you are familiar with her. You know Zhou Qing. He is the Sixth Prince’s man, and the rest is the Seventh Prince.”
“Actually, the only thing we have to pay attention to is the Seventh Prince.” At this point, Eunuch Wei sighed. This sigh was filled with helplessness and heartache.
He seemed a little drunk.
However, Xu Bai knew that with his current realm, he wouldn’t get drunk, let alone Eunuch Wei.
“Back then, the Seventh Prince’s mother was a graceful woman.”Eunuch Wei smiled bitterly and said,
“Not only is she brave and resourceful, but she is also popular. She is the only concubine who can follow His Majesty in battle.”
“In the pugilistic world, she is known as the Sword Empress, and there is even the title ‘Queen without a crown’. She once killed eleven Transcendent experts with a single sword.”
“What a pity…What a pity.”
“That day, His Majesty was ambushed and fell into someone else’s trap, almost losing his life.”
“After the Sword Empress found out, she went up alone with her sword and pierced through thousands of experts in the army. She saved His Majesty, but she was left with a hidden illness. After giving birth to the Seventh Prince, she died.”
“Although the Sword Empress is a woman, her heroism is not inferior to that of a man. Countless people in the martial world have been indebted to her. After her death, countless people in the martial world sent her off.” Eunuch Wei wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes.
“My family is one of them.”
Xu Bai took a sip of wine and said,””She’s really a strange woman in the world..”
