Did he misjudge, or did he see incorrectly? Sitting at a dining table downstairs was none other than the long-lost Eunuch Zhao...
"What's wrong, you stinky brat?" Xiao Xitian asked, walking over.
Xiao Jinheng withdrew his gaze and sighed, "Things don't seem to be going well..."
Xiao Xitian: "???"
What could have made the usually calm and collected stinky brat panic?
"That's Eunuch Zhao, right?" Xiao Jinheng pointed.
Xiao Xitian blinked her big eyes and looked downstairs, instantly surprised, "Ah? Uncle Zhao?"
Eunuch Zhao looked over, and the dimness in his eyes rekindled with hope, "Tian... Tianbao? Little... little master?"
Excellent, heaven truly helps him!
Xiao Xitian dared not delay and quickly ran down from the second floor.
Xiao Jinheng also followed behind with a thoughtful expression...
Emperor Ming heard the commotion and glanced over, "Eunuch Ruan, what's going on?"
"Your... Your Majesty, those two little ones seem to know Eunuch Zhao!" Eunuch Ruan lowered his voice.
Emperor Ming slowly put down his chopsticks after hearing this, "Where did Taotao go?"
For matters like this, he should let the Imperial Tutor handle it; he was too lazy to bother...
Eunuch Ruan sighed softly, "The Imperial Tutor seems to have returned to the inn!"
Alas, every time something happened, His Majesty's first thought was of the Imperial Tutor; he never did anything himself.
If too much authority was delegated, problems would surely arise in the future...
The relationship between sovereign and minister required them to maintain their proper positions. Once the bottom line was crossed, who would respect the Emperor in the future?
"Never mind, let's go!" Emperor Ming leaned on the table, struggling to stand up, "Back to the inn, I want to take a nap!"
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Ruan was anxious, "Are you really not going to deal with that old swindler?"
If the Crown Prince of Liang was not in Dashui Village, wouldn't they have wasted their efforts?
"No, I'm not dealing with it!" Emperor Ming yawned.
Anyway, he came out this time to help Taotao find his sister.
Emperor Ming felt that finding her later was better than finding her earlier, and it was best if he didn't find his sister...
If the Imperial Tutor spent all his energy and time on his sister, how could he help him govern the country?
Eunuch Ruan: "..."
Alright, if you don't want to deal with it, then so be it.
After settling the bill, the two swaggered out of Yun Gui Fang.
"Wuwuwu, little master, this servant is incompetent and has let you... let you down!"
In the private room, Eunuch Zhao lowered his head, already in tears.
After listening to all the explanations, Xiao Jinheng's face was filled with indignation. He pointed outside and said, "So, the young man who just went out was the Imperial Tutor Murong of Yan? And the old man who sat and ate like a pig, with no manners, was the Emperor of Yan?"
He was puzzled. How could Yan, the most powerful of the five kingdoms, have such an emperor?
This was no longer down-to-earth; it was foolish...
Eunuch Zhao nodded weakly, feeling utterly exhausted, "Y-yes, they are the ones who tied this servant up and brought me here. If I didn't obey, they would... they would beat me into a eunuch!"
Xiao Xitian: "..."
Eunuch Zhao, you are already a eunuch.
"I don't think there's anything to be nervous about!"
Xiao Xitian, holding her packed snacks, pouted, "Since they're here, let's accept it. If that young Imperial Tutor wants to inquire about Liang's news and intelligence, he could just send spies over. Why come in person?"
"Besides, he wants to find his sister, so let him find her. It has nothing to do with us..."
If Yan wanted to attack Liang, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
"But... but that little Imperial Tutor said he wanted to have a chat with His Highness!" Eunuch Zhao scratched his face, cautiously saying, "I'm afraid he has ill intentions and might do something detrimental to His Highness!"
If the little crown prince met with an accident, before the Emperor could get angry, the Empress would tear him to pieces...
Xiao Jinheng chuckled after hearing this, "He wants to chat with me? Alright, I'd like to see what tricks he can pull within the borders of Liang!"
In fact, he had also wanted to meet the renowned young Imperial Tutor for a long time.
It was just that their positions were different now, so they couldn't even be friends...
Xiao Xitian gave a few more instructions to Steward Liu and then returned to the village with Xiao Jinheng.
At the same time, in the capital, at the Bu residence.
Bu Yi sat in his study, diligently writing with a brush.
"Hmph, if you don't give me the recipe, I'll ruin your reputation. You little girl, you're too young to go against me..."
Bu Yi glared with sinister eyes, becoming more excited as he wrote, "This Zhao Guihua is also clueless; she listens to whatever I say. With her stirring up trouble at home in the future, I'll save a lot of effort!"
That's right, this letter was written by Bu Yi to Zhao Guihua...
After being hit with a shoe sole in Dashui Village, Bu Yi returned to the capital in disgrace, feeling increasingly indignant.
He sent people to inquire about the matter of Yun Jinhe and learned some details about Yang Jingrui's liking for Murong Qing, then he began to exaggerate and embellish...
Especially the incident where Jinhe got into a fight and was sent home on leave, which gave Bu Yi more room to maneuver.
In addition, he also had people inquire separately about Chu Jiang Tun and the General's Mansion, sparing no one related to the old Yun family...
This letter was specifically written by him to slander Chu Jiang Tun, claiming he frequented prostitutes and kept dozens of women outside.
"Young master, it's getting late, you should rest!" the old steward reminded from outside the door.
Bu Yi grunted, "I'll sleep soon, you... Ahhh!"
Before he could finish speaking, a pig-like scream suddenly erupted from the study.
The old steward's expression changed, and he quickly pushed the door open and went in.
The ink on the desk had been spilled, several books were scattered on the floor, and the window was wide open. Where was their young master?
In the dark alley, Bu Yi's mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and he kept making muffled sounds...
He had been dragged here, and Bu Yi discovered that the person attacking him was actually a child with a tender face and a small stature.
"If you dare to make another sound, I'll sew your mouth shut!" the boy glared at him and reached out to pull the cloth from Bu Yi's mouth.
This person was none other than the young monk Jiekong, who had rushed over from Dashui Village to avenge Sister Xitian...
After seeing the letter on the table, Jiekong was struck by lightning and almost choked Bu Yi to death.
"You, you, you, who are you? Why are you dragging me?" Bu Yi asked tremblingly. His backside was almost worn away from being dragged all the way.
How could this little娃娃 have so much strength?
Was he a monster?
Little Jiekong snorted and looked straight ahead, "You'll know soon..."
