Chapter 2150: Chapter 2150: Overly Concerned about the Sky
Therefore, he felt that he should come up with another plan to ensure that he would not appear before His Majesty in the next few days. That would be the safest.
But what method could he use?
He was a eunuch. Although many people fawned over him and he possessed substantial wealth, he had not a single relative by his side. He couldn’t even find an excuse involving a family member if he wanted to.
Besides, if he used a family member as an excuse, His Majesty was already in a foul mood. What if His Majesty deemed that he thought his own family more important than His Majesty?
It would be a disaster to be executed under His Majesty’s wrath before even getting away.
“Eunuch Supervisor, over the years serving by His Majesty’s side, you must have also offended quite a number of people, right?” A guard gave it some thought, feeling they all wanted to avoid danger, and then dropped a hint.
In the two years he spent at Gui Ting Manor, he also learned quite a few tricks and unorthodox skills from the outside world.
“Hmm?”
The Eunuch Supervisor looked at him with half-closed eyes upon hearing his words.
People he had offended?
Though he served by His Majesty’s side and enjoyed the glamour, the number of people he had offended was naturally not small. After all, wasn’t it he who delivered many of the imperial edicts on behalf of His Majesty?
“You mean to say…”
His eyes brightened. Yes, indeed, he could find a few people to pretend to beat him up and leave him injured. Then he surely wouldn’t be able to serve His Majesty anymore.
“Excellent, truly an excellent idea. I must hurry and come up with a foolproof plan!”
Saying so, he stood up, exchanged a few courteous words with the guard happily, and then quickly left.
After the Eunuch Supervisor had left, the guard’s family members came out from the house, looking at the guard timidly, “My lord, everything has been packed. Are we really returning to our hometown?”
Honestly, she felt that her husband was overly worried. Just a few people, could they really gain any advantage before the grand presence of an Emperor?
That was the Emperor of their Beikun Kingdom.
“Let’s go, we will leave after It would be dawn,” the guard told her.
Had it not been for wanting to wait for a few friends to leave together, he would have wanted to leave right then. The longer they delayed, the more danger brewed. Who knows when High Priest Demon Heart might arrive?
“Now go back and ask your mother-in-law and father-in-law if they are willing to leave with us.”
“Ah?”
The woman was startled, seemingly not expecting that her husband would want to take her own parents with them.
“Husband, don’t you think you’re exaggerating the issue? Those people might not actually do anything, do they even have that capability?”
Indeed, just a few people, how could they possibly turn the Beikun Kingdom upside down?
“Or, let’s wait a bit longer. After finally settling down in the capital, I truly can’t bear to leave. Our sons, Big Treasure and Little Treasure, are also reluctant to leave the capital,” she said, trying to persuade him.
“The narrow view of a woman!”
The guard scolded her and glared at her.
Did she really think those three were just ordinary people? He didn’t show it in front of the Eunuch Supervisor.
“I saw with my own eyes how High Priest Demon Heart killed the people of Gui Ting Manor, one by one, like squashing ants. Do you think I imagined all of this?”
It was real. Watching his companions die one after another, facing the terror that it would soon be his turn, was a fear he could not describe with words.
