Chapter 924 Wan Dequan Complains
Wan Dequan entered the imperial study holding the newly written book, knelt down to pay his respects to Emperor Ping Zhao, and then placed the book on the dragon table.
Emperor Ping Zhao looked up and saw the bruise on his forehead. He asked, "Eunuch De, what happened to your forehead?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Dequan quickly reached out to cover the bruise, then said hesitantly, "No...it's okay."
After saying this, he glanced at Emperor Ping Zhao with a guilty look.
The princess said that when acting, one must be very into it and believe it yourself before the other party can believe it.
The bruise on his forehead was actually not a big deal, but he was afraid that it was not obvious enough and would not attract the attention and concern of Emperor Ping Zhao, so he deliberately applied some of the ointment that Jiang Hao had given him.
The ointment is colorless and odorless. It does not splash when it comes into contact with water after being applied, and it looks just like the real thing.
Wan Dequan was a close confidant of the previous emperor, and he helped him a lot when the previous emperor announced the regent, and he helped him a lot in other small matters. Therefore, Emperor Ping Zhao could not help but feel a little grateful to him, and naturally noticed his difference and asked more questions.
"what happened?"
Emperor Ping Zhao was not in a hurry to open the booklet and asked again.
Wan Dequan then said hesitantly, "It's nothing, it's just that Xiao Yan told me to go to the Imperial Garden to find you, saying that you wanted to see me. But I went too late, you had already left. I slipped on the arch bridge of the water pavilion and rolled into the lotus pond, hitting my forehead on a stone. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to hold onto the bridge pile and climb up."
Emperor Ping Zhao's face had turned black.
Wan Dequan pretended not to see it and continued, "I drank some water in the lotus pond and hit my forehead, then passed out on the bed. When I woke up in the morning, I thought of the errand that Your Majesty had assigned me, so I quickly wrote another one based on my memory."
"Your Majesty, I am fine. Please take a look first."
Emperor Ping Zhao suppressed his anger and doubts and nodded to Wan Dequan: "Well, I'm glad you're fine. I'll go see the imperial physician later and get some blood-dispersing ointment."
"Yes, I thank the emperor for his consideration."
After reading the booklet, Emperor Ping Zhao had an idea of what the late emperor was thinking about the concubines and prepared to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites.
Wan Dequan saw that Emperor Ping Zhao had put away the booklet and had no other instructions, so he took his leave.
The princess is truly an angel. She actually guessed what the emperor would say!
Fortunately, he did not directly say that he was thrown into the lotus pond and killed to silence him, and was rescued by the princess. Otherwise, a lot of unnecessary troubles would have arisen later.
If he didn't say anything, it would make the emperor even more angry and suspicious of Yan Rong.
Wan Dequan let out a breath of anger, and when he went out, he didn't see Yan Rong, and he sneered in his heart.
I was afraid that I would be scared to death and now I would go to settle the score with the man in black who pushed me into the water.
It would be best if he went, otherwise, the princess would not be able to catch him colluding with others.
After Wan Dequan left, Emperor Ping Zhao immediately sent someone to summon Yan Rong, but it took half an hour before Yan Rong hurried back.
"Your Majesty, are you in such a hurry to summon me because you have something to tell me?"
Emperor Ping Zhao's expression had already eased, and he smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't feel very comfortable without you by my side. Those little eunuchs are not as attentive as you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Rong heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It is my blessing to serve the emperor, so I dare not neglect it in the slightest. I will teach them a lesson later."
"That's not necessary. If everyone is like you, you wouldn't be special here."
"I will serve the emperor with all my heart and soul."
When Emperor Ping Zhao saw Yan Rong kneeling down excitedly, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
