Chapter 5: He killed the eunuch in self-defense and stumbled upon the Empress bathing!
"Quick, go and hold him down!"
"good!"
By the moonlight, two figures could be seen discussing something as they gradually approached.
Suddenly!
Xiao Shisan could also smell the scent of Eunuch Wei nearby. Could it be that Eunuch Wei, that old eunuch, was lying in ambush in Changchun Palace, secretly protecting me?
But the situation is critical, and Eunuch Wei has yet to appear. We cannot count on Eunuch Wei!
Xiao Shisan sprang up from the couch with a somersault, raising his leg to kick the youngest eunuch at the front...
boom!
"ah!!!"
These eunuchs, lacking in testosterone, were no match for the vigorous and masculine Xiao Shisan.
The little eunuch was kicked to the ground...
With a thud.
The noise woke up the other sleeping eunuchs.
They rubbed their eyes, got up blankly, and didn't know what was going on.
The eunuch holding the pillow, after a brief moment of stunned silence, cried out in panic:
"You... why aren't you cooperating with me and killing this Xiao Shisan? This... this... this is a special order from Steward Liu..."
Upon hearing this!
The other eunuchs looked at each other in bewilderment.
Not a single person dared to come forward to help.
They all preferred to avoid trouble and were afraid of getting themselves into trouble.
Damn it, you want to call for backup?
"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered! Anyone who dares to help me, I, Xiao Shisan, will kill them!!"
At this critical moment, Xiao Shisan couldn't care less about anything else. He roared and silenced the other eunuchs.
Seeing the little eunuch on the ground get up, he quickly jumped off the bed and straddled the little eunuch.
Using the gold hairpin in her hand, she pressed it against the eunuch's neck and forcefully slashed...
"Uh..."
The little eunuch made a gurgling sound as blood oozed from his throat, and under the moonlight, the blood flowed out.
This scene terrified many of the eunuchs in the room.
"Xiao Shisan...you...you have a weapon?"
"You have a weapon in the Imperial Palace?! I'm going to tell Chief Steward Liu!!!"
The eunuch holding the pillow panicked, threw it away, and tried to run away.
Xiao Shisan's heart skipped a beat. If he were to inform Chief Steward Liu, Chief Steward Liu would definitely bring even more eunuchs, and he would be in big trouble!
We absolutely cannot let him get away!
"Trying to run away?!"
"Leave it here for me—"
Xiao Shisan, who was riding on the back of the little eunuch, suddenly stood up and pounced on the little eunuch who was trying to escape like a hungry tiger.
The gold hairpin pierced the back of the young eunuch's neck.
Pull it out, then stab it again!
Pfft, pfft…
After what seemed like an endless series of blows, the eunuch in front of him finally collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body convulsing, and then he lay still...
In an instant, the eunuchs in the room cried out in terror, all of them shocked by what they had just witnessed.
"Ah, this, this..."
Xiao Shisan was panting heavily, his heart pounding.
In ancient times, this was the first time he had ever killed someone, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
But there was no other way; if he didn't kill them, he would die.
Xiao Shisan glanced at the other eunuchs, walked to the table, and lit the candles with a tinderbox.
moment!
The room became bright.
The eunuchs sat on the large communal bed, all with expressions of terror on their faces.
It seems my crazy behavior just now really frightened them!
Even though Xiao Shisan was nervous, he still pretended to be all smiles.
"Hehe, brothers, the fact that I, Xiao Shisan, dare to do this means I have powerful backers!"
"I hope you won't be ungrateful. Besides, Steward Liu hasn't treated you well before, has he?"
Inside the room, there was complete silence.
They were incredibly nervous, and Xiao Shisan's words truly resonated with them.
Upon seeing this!
Xiao Shisan smiled with satisfaction and proudly raised the blood-stained gold hairpin.
"See this? It was a gift from the Empress!"
"I advise you, if you are to be loyal... be loyal to the Empress."
"No matter how powerless she is now, she's still an empress who rewards and punishes with fairness. What good is your loyalty to Chief Eunuch Liu?"
"Furthermore, if you listen to Steward Liu, you might die one day without even knowing how you died."
"You all saw it just now, those two were suffocating me."
"If you dare to testify, tonight I dare to kill Steward Liu and rid you of this plague!!!"
The other eunuchs were stunned.
They thought Xiao Shisan was right.
Manager Liu usually beats and scolds them, and they have always dared not speak out against him...
What they lack is a leader who can unite people and dare to lead them in rebellion against Chief Steward Liu!
Now, isn't Xiao Shisan the perfect fit?
Moreover, Xiao Shisan is a ruthless person!
They killed him without warning!
After exchanging glances, they all got off the bed and hurriedly clasped their hands in a fist salute towards them.
"Thirteenth Brother, we're willing to listen to you. Whatever you say, we'll do it!"
"That's right, from now on we will not only listen to you, but also be loyal to Her Majesty the Empress..."
Seeing them nodding and bowing, and making statements all at once.
Xiao Shisan smiled with satisfaction and quickly tried to win them over.
"Hey, we're all brothers here."
"Don't worry, from now on, whenever I, Xiao Shisan, have a good meal, you'll all get your share!"
"Hmph, let me make this clear from the start: anyone who dares to betray their own side shouldn't blame me for being impolite!"
While they were moved, the memory of Xiao Shisan killing the two eunuchs sent chills down their spines...
After talking with them for a while.
Xiao Shisan was in a great mood. Now that was perfect... he could finally make a good impression on the Empress!
The progress bar for sleeping with the queen must have increased by at least 20%.
Under the moonlight.
Xiao Shisan led them all to the palace courtyard and lined them up.
Strangely, even though I could smell Wei Gonggong's scent in Changchun Palace, I couldn't see him anywhere.
Hiss, where is that old eunuch hiding?
Xiao Shisan shook his head, too lazy to search carefully, and headed towards the Empress's main hall.
We haven't even gotten close to the main hall yet.
Xiao Shisan then heard a splashing sound of water echoing through the brightly lit main hall.
Hiss... Could it be that Her Majesty the Empress is taking a bath?
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
Xiao Shisan arrived at the palace gate, pressed himself against the door, and lowered his voice: "I just killed two eunuchs who were loyal to Chief Eunuch Liu... Our next step is to kill Chief Eunuch Liu."
Instantly!
The sound of water inside the house subsided.
Pei Ruohan's soft voice rang out: "Ruyi, open the door for him quickly!!"
Ruyi quickly ran over and opened the door.
Ruyi's face flushed red, like a ripe peach, making her exceptionally pretty: "Thirteenth Brother, after you come in, don't go to the inner hall. The Empress is bathing there..."
Your Majesty, you're really taking a bath?
"Hehe, got it!"
Xiao Shisan winked mischievously at the little girl twice, a sly smile on his face, and leaned close to her ear to tease her:
"Miss Ruyi, you said before what you would do if I got rid of Steward Liu... do you remember?"
"Thirteenth Brother, you're so wicked! Of course, Ruyi remembers. If you get rid of Steward Liu, Thirteenth Brother, Ruyi will consider you her lover. We can sleep together and chat all the time..."
Ruyi was extremely shy and dared not look at Xiao Shisan.
She suddenly realized that although her thirteenth brother was bad, she really liked him...
Xiao Shisan was in a good mood and suppressed a laugh.
After entering the hall.
Sure enough, white mist and water vapor were seen rising from the inner palace behind the beaded curtain.
But all that could be seen was the bathtub, and the figure of Empress Pei Ruohan was nowhere to be seen.
Tsk tsk, I really want to see the most beautiful woman in the Great Xia Dynasty, Empress Pei, taking a bath!
"You really killed two eunuchs?" Pei Ruohan's voice came from inside, cold and eerie.
Xiao Shisan grinned mischievously, deliberately lowering his voice and mumbling, "I'll... then..."
Pei Ruohan's voice came from the other end: "What are you babbling about? I can't hear you. Could you speak louder?"
Xiao Shisan coughed twice, raising his voice slightly: "My Lady, who would dare to raise their voice when it comes to killing Steward Liu?"
"Then come in and talk!!"
Swish!
Ruyi, who was beside Xiao Shisan, exclaimed in surprise, "Ah? Your Highness, this...isn't this inappropriate?"
Xiao Shisan really wanted to tell Ruyi at this moment: I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!
The most beautiful woman in the palace, Empress Pei Ruohan, spoke with a mature and sophisticated voice.
"It's alright!"
"Even if he, a mere eunuch, saw something, so what? Ruyi, you watch the palace gate. Xiao Shisan, come in."
Upon hearing this...
She saw Ruyi's little mouth open beside her.
This time, Xiao Shisan didn't give Ruyi a chance to speak, and hurriedly said, "Yes! I obey, hehe, I'll come in right away..."
