707 The Arrogant Dabao (3)
“It’s so late. Where are you going so sneakily?”
Eunuch Wang’s heart skipped a beat. Damn it! That bastard Li Yu!
Eunuch Li gestured, and a few sacrificial soldiers swarmed up and surrounded Eunuch Wang.
Eunuch Wang cleared his throat and said seriously, “I’m on His Majesty’s orders to leave the palace. If you stop me, could it be that you don’t even care about His Majesty?”
Eunuch Li smiled and said, “I don’t dare to stop Eunuch Wang. However, the Empress’s phoenix seal is missing. I’m ordered to look for it. Eunuch Wang, please let me search you and I’ll let you out after I’m done.”
Damn it! He was discovered so quickly! If he found the heirloom seal, would he still be able to leave? Not to mention his life, the key was that the heirloom seal could not fall into the hands of these bastards!
Eunuch Wang glared at him. “Insolence! I’m His Majesty’s subordinate. Do you want to search me too?”
Eunuch Li said, “Search!”
The heirloom seal was found.
Eunuch Wang was also brought to the central palace by Eunuch Li to listen to the punishment. Although he said that he was waiting for the punishment, in fact, he did not even see the Empress. Eunuch Li got someone to tie Eunuch Wang up, gag him, and carry him to the pool.
Eunuch Wang struggled. “Mhm, mhm! Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm!”
You bastards! You’ll die a horrible death!
Eunuch Li gestured. The sacrificial soldier tied two large stones under Eunuch Wang’s feet and threw him and the stones into the water.
Eunuch Wang originally knew how to swim, but his hands and feet were tied, so he could only watch helplessly as he sank to the bottom of the lake.
Damn those dogs. He would not let them off even if he became a ghost!
Just as he was about to drown, a white figure swam over and used a dagger to cut the rope on his body, pulling him out of the water. After he went ashore, he looked at the other party in disbelief. “Your-Your Highness!”
“Shh.” Consort Yun gestured for him to keep quiet. She looked around and found a waist token and a set of nanny’s clothes in the grass. “I asked Emperor Dog for the waist token the night he came to my palace to confess. I casually stole the clothes. Quickly change into them and leave the palace.”
“Your Highness…” Eunuch Wang looked at her, touched and choked.
Consort Yun slapped his head. “Don’t cry! The palace will be under martial law later. You won’t be able to get out even if you want to! After you leave the palace, don’t go to the Helian Manor first. I’m worried that someone will keep an eye on that place. Go to Sishui Street and look for Ah Wan and Jiuchao.”
Eunuch Wang wiped his tears and changed into his clothes without a word. “Your Highness, aren’t you leaving with me?”
Consort Yun said, “I can’t leave.”
There were thousands of palace maids and nannies in the palace, so it was not difficult for one to leave. However, she was the only palace consort. It was too late for the Empress to keep a close eye on her, so how could she allow her to escape from the palace?
Eunuch Wang left in tears.
After the Empress obtained the heirloom seal, she sank him to the bottom of the lake and slightly relaxed, allowing Eunuch Wang to seize the opportunity to sneak out.
After Eunuch Wang left the palace, he hired a carriage and went straight to Sishui Street. Just as he was thinking that he seemed to have forgotten to ask Consort Yun which house they lived in Sishui Street, he heard the laughter of a few little black eggs.
Eunuch Wang swore that it was the best laughter he had ever heard in his life!
Eunuch Wang alighted from the carriage and rushed into the courtyard. He knelt down in front of Yu Wan, who was drying herbs in the courtyard. “Little Commandery Princess—”
Yu Wan’s hand trembled and the sieve almost fell off. She looked at the eunuch and only recognized him after a while. “Eunuch Wang? Why are you dressed like this?”
Eunuch Wang said with snot and tears, “Aiya! Something happened! Something big happened! The Empress wants to rebel! I don’t know what happened to His Majesty! She also took away the heirloom seal! Nanzhao is going to change—”
“Seal?” Yu Wan raised her eyebrows strangely and pointed at Dabao, who was sitting on the threshold with a seal. “You’re talking about that?”
Eunuch Wang took a closer look and his cries stopped.
There was a stack of paper beside Dabao’s feet.
Dabao held the heirloom seal in one hand and the paper in the other. He covered the entire courtyard with imperial edicts.
