Chapter 154
Han Jiu was speechless. Eunuch He behind her hurriedly came forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor said that the Third Young Master does not have to perform formalities when meeting any member of the royal family, including the Emperor himself." You are going to die. Why did you provoke this person for no reason? I've had enough of you.
The woman was very surprised when she saw Eunuch He. She didn't notice Eunuch He just now because he was standing behind the Third Young Master she mentioned. It was obvious that Eunuch He regarded his status as much lower than this man.
Everyone in the palace knows who Eunuch He is, and who is the Third Young Master he is talking about? Perhaps this is an opportunity. Eunuch He knows why Concubine Lian is pregnant. "Eunuch, don't lie to me. I have been in the palace for a long time and have never heard the emperor mention the Third Young Master.
"Eunuch just said that this person doesn't have to perform formalities when meeting all the royal family members? What a joke. Who is the emperor? How can a servant like this look him in the eye? Eunuch He, are you trying to offend him?" I caught you by the tail. Since you are on Concubine Lian's side, I have no say in this matter.
If Han Jiu was speechless just now, she would be even more speechless now. What kind of brain does this woman have? Is she just an empty shell? How dare she question the authority of this old eunuch in the palace?
Eunuch He curled his lips and said, "You've only been in contact with the emperor for a short time, and what you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg."
Seeing that Han Jiu had no intention of speaking, he stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone, "Your Majesty, are you going to see the Emperor?" He said coldly to the palace maids and eunuchs behind the woman, "Why don't you help your Majesty over there?" If you really offend this gentleman, I will kill you here. It doesn't matter if you die, but don't implicate me.
The maid behind the woman stepped forward to help her but she pushed her away. "Are you going to rebel, eunuch? You are so rude to me. What is your relationship with this man? How could he make up such a ridiculous story to deceive me? Is he a spy? Tell me, do you want to harm the emperor?"
The woman pointed at Eunuch He with a righteous expression on her face. Eunuch He's face turned green. He was really stupid. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a surprised voice not far away, "Third Young Master?"
Han Jiu leaned half of his body over to look over. “What a coincidence!” He was the former commander of the guards of Yan Beixuan of the Yan State.
The commander saw that it was Han Jiu and immediately came over and asked, "Does the Third Young Master want to go to the palace to see the Emperor?"
Han Jiu smiled and said, "I have met him and he was just about to leave. Last time you said you used to work for my father?" She had a good impression of this man.
“Yes, I once followed the eldest young master to the general. Pei Qing and I also met the third young master when he followed the eldest young master back to the mansion. I’m afraid the third young master doesn’t remember it.” The man looked calm on the outside but was moved inside. He had different feelings towards the Han family.
"What's your name?" Han Jiu smiled friendly.
"Third Young Master, my name is Bai Sen Ting." He actually saluted Han Jiu.
Han Jiu looked at him up and down without saying anything. Bai Senting saw this and hurriedly explained, "I am not a member of the Bai family."
Huh? "I just think your name sounds nice." If you were really a member of the Bai family, you would have turned into a pile of bones long ago.
He took a deep breath and didn't worry too much. He knew how the Bai family was destroyed. He also knew about the catastrophe in the military camp that night. As if he had just discovered other people, Bai Senting saluted the woman who stopped Han Jiu and said, "Your subordinate greets the Empress Xinfei."
Concubine Xin's face was already pale. The man in front of her was the commander of the sword-bearing guards in the palace. He was always cold and silent and never spoke to anyone.
She also knew that this man was directly under the emperor. It was said that he was the emperor's man as early as when he was in Yan State. The emperor was suspicious by nature, and this man was one of the few people the emperor trusted. It didn't matter if it was just Eunuch He, but this man was different. Concubine Xin pointed at Han Jiu with a fake smile and asked, "Commander Bai, who is this person?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether I can leave now, Madam." Are you going to freeze me to death in such a cold day?
Concubine Xin never looked anyone in the eye, especially after entering the palace. At this moment, she stared at Han Jiu and couldn't say a word. Who was this man?
Eunuch He snorted when he saw Concubine Xin's loss of composure. What were you doing earlier? He turned around and smiled at Han Jiu, "Third Young Master, let's go."
Han Jiu nodded and turned around to leave Bai Senting and said, "I'll take the Third Young Master away. Your Majesty probably has other things to do."
Eunuch He looked at Bai Senting gratefully, then bowed to Han Jiu and said, "Third Young Master, is this okay?"
Han Jiu nodded indifferently.
Eunuch He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Commander Bai."
Bai Senting walked up to Han Jiu and made a gesture of invitation, "Third Young Master, come this way."
Eunuch He sighed as he watched the two men leave. He was terrified. He turned around and saw a pale face. "What are you doing here, Madam? You are going to see the Emperor, right? Come on, follow me."
Concubine Xin went with Eunuch He to meet Yan Beiming with a heavy heart. Of course, Eunuch He told her everything that had just happened, without adding or leaving out a word.
If it were someone else, he would dare to exaggerate and talk about it, but he absolutely wouldn't dare to say a single untrue word about Han Jiu.
After listening to this, Yan Beiming remained expressionless and continued to look down at the memorial. Concubine Xin felt more confident, so she said that she still had weight in the emperor's heart and that she had just scared herself.
Eunuch He did not think that the Emperor would not care. Although this matter was not big, it was not small either. If a concubine ignored Emperor Han Jiu this time, there would be a second or third concubine like him in the future.
Maybe Han Jiu didn't care at first, but it wasn't that simple after a while. It was true that Han Jiu was cautiously testing the emperor and didn't want to upset him. It was also true that the emperor wanted to be friends with Han Jiu. He didn't believe that the emperor would be indifferent to this matter, considering how many years he had been in the palace and the days he had spent with the monarch.
Sure enough, a cold and emotionless voice came from the room, "Pass it on, Concubine Xin ignored the rules I set, and will be banished to the cold palace."
Concubine Xin looked at Yan Beiming in disbelief, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't do this!"
Yan Beiming frowned, and Eunuch He immediately winked at the eunuchs on both sides. Several eunuchs understood and stepped forward to cover Concubine Xin's mouth to prevent her from making any more sounds and dragged her out the door. Concubine Xin struggled desperately but was still dragged out the door and taken away.
Yan Beiming's brows relaxed, and during the entire process he never raised his head and kept looking at the memorial in his hand.
Eunuch He stood beside him without saying a word. He had never served any emperor like he served this one, and he never knew how cruel he would be. It was as if he saw a woman sitting in his arms smiling brightly one second and spitting blood and dying the next second, and this emperor had always been the same from beginning to end, watching with cold eyes.
I thought the matter was over, but suddenly Eunuch He heard that familiar voice again, "Is Concubine Xin the daughter of the Minister of Justice?"
“Yes” I’m afraid it’s over.
Yan Beiming closed the book and wrote: "My beloved concubine, I grant you death."
Eunuch He lowered his head and said, "I'll do it right away." "Minister of Justice, you'd better wish me good luck. It would be fine if your daughter was smart, but it's your fault that your daughter is too stupid. I guess the emperor has wanted to take action against you for a long time.
