Chapter 86 Nature

The Prince of Yan, dressed in a scarlet robe, sat alone in front of a spacious pearwood round table that could accommodate more than a dozen people.

Behind him, five or six guards appeared without knowing when. These guards were only on the surface. There were at least dozens of guards secretly accompanying and protecting the Prince of Yan.

The table was full of bowls and plates. At a glance, there were at least more than twenty dishes.

The Prince of Yan was very picky about food. He usually only tasted one bite of each dish. If he was willing to take a second bite, it was enough to show that the dish was very delicious.

After the Prince of Yan finished his lunch, the dishes on the table were almost untouched.

The door was pushed open.

Eunuch Xi walked in with a diligent smile, nodding and bowing, reporting: "Your Highness, I have sent your name card to Miss Ling Jiu."

The Prince of Yan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What was her reaction?"

Disdain!

Discarded like a worn-out shoe!

And mercilessly ridiculed the servant! If someone else hadn't helped me take the name card, I wouldn't have been able to complete my mission today!

Eunuch Xi was filled with bitterness and tears, but he didn't dare to say a word. He smiled exaggeratedly and said, "Miss Ling Jiu was flattered and almost burst into tears with joy. She respectfully took the name card, said a lot of words of gratitude, and said she would come to thank you in person..."

"Then why didn't she come?" King Yan interrupted Eunuch Xi with a smile.

Eunuch Xi's smile froze, and then he returned to normal, and continued to bend down and smile: "I dared to take the place of Your Highness and didn't let Miss Ling Jiu come. I acted on my own, please forgive me!"

King Yan glanced at Eunuch Xi, his tone lazy, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Little Xizi, you have been with me for two years!"

Eunuch Xi didn't understand the intention of King Yan's question for a while, and replied tremblingly.

"You are arrogant and domineering, and I know it all the time."

The light words of His Royal Highness Prince Yan made Eunuch Xi's face change, and he knelt down with a plop: "I dare not, spare my life, Your Highness!"

The Prince of Yan pulled the corner of his lips, and his voice became cold: "You rely on my prestige to show off everywhere, that's fine. After all, you are my man, and you represent my face when you go out, and it's your ability to make people afraid. I won't be angry with you for this. However, you should never treat me as a fool to fool me!"

"Just now, Miss Ling Jiu didn't kowtow to me, and she was eloquent and didn't lose at all. You are just a servant, with her proud heart, how could she take you seriously."

"What flattered, what tears in the eyes, are all made up by you to deceive me!"

The last sentence, accompanied by a sneer, revealed a bit of anger.

Eunuch Xi was so frightened that he trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "Your Highness is naturally wise and has a sharp vision. I am so bold that I dared to lie to Your Highness. I have served Your Highness for two years. Although I have no merit, I have worked hard. I beg Your Highness to show mercy and spare my worthless life..."

He cried bitterly and kowtowed heavily. Every time he kowtowed, he hit the solid floor. Soon, his forehead became red and swollen.

It looked both embarrassed and pitiful.

But the King of Yan was unmoved.

These eunuchs all came from the palace. They were all cunning people. They were good at bullying others and deceiving their superiors and subordinates. If the master did not have some sharp and ruthless skills, he would not only fail to control them, but would also be deceived by the cunning servants.

He was too lazy to think about it on weekdays. If he really wanted to turn his face and be ruthless, it would only take a few words.

......

Eunuch Xi's forehead was already bleeding and painful. But this pain was insignificant compared to the chill that kept rising in his heart.

It's over!

He was frivolous and careless for a while, and he had left a bad impression of being domineering and arrogant in the heart of the King of Yan. He didn't do his job well, lied and cheated and was caught... Any one of them was a capital crime.

The eunuchs were all slaves of the emperor, and were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the palaces of various princes and princesses. They could only live by relying on their masters. The masters would not easily punish the guards, and even if the guards made mistakes, most of them could keep their lives. But the eunuchs were different. They were beaten to death with sticks, wrapped in straw mats and thrown on the mass grave, without even a grave.

When he was in glory, everyone admired and admired him. If he made his master unhappy, he would fall from the clouds to the quagmire overnight.

He served the King of Yan for two years and was considered a useful person around the King of Yan. Recently, he was a little arrogant, and his actions and words were bold and unrestrained, but he didn't expect that he had already displeased the King of Yan...

Today's incident was just an introduction.

After thinking through all this, Eunuch Xi was frightened and almost desperate.

The Prince of Yan always presented himself as a dissolute playboy. He often went in and out of the outer city, strolling in the South City for half a day with a bird cage, and booked a private room in Dingxianglou, coming once or twice a month. The Prince of Yan could be seen in the most famous teahouses, theaters, and brothels.

He was the most noble playboy in the capital.

Empress Xu doted on her youngest son, and the Emperor also favored him, turning a blind eye to these absurd behaviors. Occasionally, if they went too far, he would just criticize them without any pain.

The Prince of Yan became more and more unscrupulous.

Only those who served him closely could get a glimpse of the Prince of Yan's true face.

This Prince of Yan looked absurd, but in fact, he was deep-minded. No one could figure out what he was thinking. He usually has a good temper and is not harsh at all, but once he gets angry, he is swift and ruthless.

Eunuch Xi kowtowed hard, blood on his forehead flowed down, mixed with tears and snot, and he no longer had any arrogance.

The King of Yan finally spoke: "Don't kowtow and beg for mercy yet. Tell me what happened just now. Tell me honestly. If you say even a word false, you will be dead."

Eunuch Xi dared not lie anymore, and told the previous events at the fastest speed and most eloquently in his life without missing a single thing.

To be valued by the King of Yan, Eunuch Xi certainly had some strengths. Not only was he eloquent, but he was also good at imitating people's expressions and speech. He imitated Ling Jingshu's cold and disdainful tone perfectly: "...I didn't mean to deceive His Highness. It's just that Miss Ling Jiu didn't appreciate your kindness, and I felt really unfair for Your Highness. In the end, Miss Ling Ba accepted the name card, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do the job Your Highness asked me to do today."

"I was afraid that Your Highness would be unhappy if I told you the truth, so I lied with my guts. I just hope Your Highness will feel better, and I never meant to deceive Your Highness..."

Eunuch Xi was crying and very emotional.

Yan Wang listened carelessly, looking out through the window.
