Chương 49: Chapter 47
Back to the imperial study, the emperor silently gazing at the calm head eunuch in front of him. He no longer have a desire to read any memorandum.
" Are you dissatisfied with her punishment?"
Eunuch Wei hurriedly kneel down,
" Your majesty's insight and decision must be obeyed and not to be question".
The emperor gaze soften and sigh,
" You don't have to be polite if we are alone, you are not only a mere subject to me."
Eunuch Wei trembled, " Please let me do my duty as your subordinate, this little servant is for your disposal "
The man in a golden robe stood up and lightly pat his shoulder, " The last time you acknowledge me as your brother and forgot your duty is when you beg for Lui Rushi action and shoulder the consequences. How can I your big brother disappoint you, after all it is my little brother request."
" We may born from different womb, but you were the only brother I can trust. You sacrificed a lot for my sake." He slowly approach the window, gazing at the lonely moon in the sky. " I can't do anything for you but to protect your beloved woman and son."
" when you knew Lui Rushi is attempting to do her tricks again and doomed to be punished, you didn't hesitate to protect her and decided to be with her that night in exchange for you to be an Eunuch in the palace. I truly admire your conviction and bravery which I failed to do to my late empress." His voice is full of melancholy and regret.
Eunuch Wei start to kowtowing himself resulting for his forehead to bleed nonstop. " Words are not enough to compensate of what you have done for me.....Elder Brother. " Wei was born from a drunken night of the late emperor from a mere maid, the last empress can't tolerate the scandal it could bring to the imperial family. She decided to kill the baby but change her mind upon thinking she could raise a loyal servant beside his son.
She ask her paternal family to take the baby and make it a shadow guard. And return it in the palace when it is 5 years old to accompany the crown prince.
Nobody but only Wei knew what kind of inhuman training and hardships he experienced inside of the paternal family of the last empress.
His first kill was when he is 4 years old, and before he can accompany the crown prince he was left alone to feed himself in a deserted forest in a half year, resulting for him to be a cold bloodied child.
But he never expect that the person he was supposed to serve for a lifetime is a weird person. They are in the same age, he was cheerful and full of smile. He was conferred as the crown prince of the Yan kingdom the moment he was born but always escaping the palace to interact with the common people. The boy who would rather be with the commoners than to spend his precious time to tie connections with the noble children.
Wei curiously watching the prince while helping the old lady carrying her stuff and playing with children.
Suddenly, he heard a chuckle, " This is the first time to witness you change your facial expression. Do you finally realize how amazing am I?" Once saying his words, he let out a lively laughter.
Seeing his naive and innocent laughter, Wei can't help but also to smile.
Their happy and carefree days was instantly cut the moment the last empress found out the crown prince secret rendezvous outside of the imperial palace.
His very existence is for the safety of the crown prince but despite that, he allowed the boy to have his way knowing the dangers it could bring to the crown prince.
The head shadow guard punish him with 150 whips while listening to him saying the oath of the shadow guard, drilling in his young mind what are things that should and shouldn't do.
But who would expect that a small body would come from nowhere and protected him. He can still remember the trembling voice of the young man desperately order to stop his punishment, all he can remember is the first warmth he experience in his entire life.
He slowly regain his conscious while listening to voices that seems arguing and can hear the revelation that would affect his entire life.
