As Eunuch Hou's shrill voice slowly faded away.
The princes accepted the imperial decree and expressed their gratitude, and the others also rose to their feet.
Eunuch Hou faced Su Yu and smiled respectfully.
"Mr. Su, His Majesty's decree has been delivered."
"This old servant will take his leave."
Su Yu nodded slightly.
"Ah."
With a smile on his face, Eunuch Hou slowly left.
Before leaving, he glanced cautiously at Eunuch Hong, who was still kneeling, out of the corner of his eye.
He glanced into the Han Guang Hall again.
But they could only pretend not to see it, not looking too closely, nor daring to ask any questions.
Eunuch Hou was greatly surprised, but he did not show it on his face.
Xiao Yi took a detour and left.
I just couldn't help but complain to myself.
Seeing it with your own eyes is more terrifying than hearing about it.
The chief eunuch knelt before a minister.
The Empress Dowager was forced to hide inside the palace, not daring to utter a sound.
This is truly unprecedented.
He thought to himself that having lived in the palace for so long, he had witnessed quite a sight.
I also felt a bit scared, but also a bit relieved.
Fortunately, I had been quite respectful to Mr. Su before.
He didn't want to be the protagonist in such a bizarre story.
After Eunuch Hou left...
The room fell into a deathly silence.
The palace servants and guards of Hanguang Palace.
And the princes standing outside the hall.
Every single one of them was filled with countless thoughts and doubts.
But at this very moment, those involved in this matter are both inside and outside the hall.
It's not appropriate for them to discuss anything here.
If you want to discuss something, at least go back to your own room and discuss it quietly.
This is really making me so frustrated and worried.
……
The palace servants in Hanguang Hall had the most complex emotions.
They usually rely on being palace servants by the Empress Dowager's side.
She certainly gave the other palace servants a hard time.
All of this is based on the Empress Dowager's noble status.
This was based on the emperor's filial piety towards the empress dowager.
Now that this has happened, the Empress Dowager's prestige has been greatly diminished.
Those who serve as servants naturally suffer along with their masters.
Maybe it was those palace servants who were bullied by them before.
They would all turn around and kick them while they were down.
However, the palace servants were mostly depressed.
The palace servants didn't understand what a grandmaster or a non-grandmaster meant.
Grandmaster Ye is also working for the royal family.
Therefore, what they valued most was His Majesty the Emperor's attitude.
But now, His Majesty's attitude is clearly very obvious.
Even the Empress Dowager could not make things difficult for a favorite minister of the emperor.
The princes, in particular, had to treat Mr. Su with the utmost respect.
The Empress Dowager, the mother of the Emperor, exuded majesty.
In His Majesty's eyes, he is not as important as a favored minister?
Is this favored courtier truly so favored?
It's truly unbelievable and inconceivable.
The guards who were knocked down by Su Yu with a single palm strike while trying to save the Empress Dowager.
They were all clutching their stomachs, wanting to scream but not daring to.
Upon hearing this imperial decree, he felt even more depressed than the palace servants.
The Empress Dowager suffered this humiliation.
His Majesty issued an edict, but it was to protect Mr. Su?
What about His Majesty's usual filial piety?
So all that work, beatings, and injuries they just suffered were for nothing?
The group has neither made any contribution nor endured any hardship.
I've also offended Mr. Su. Sigh, it's really not worth it.
The seventh one was Tiger Guard named Gao Da, who had just gone to deliver the message.
Yi returned at this time.
Seeing his companions all badly injured, Qi had a gossipy expression on his face.
Erxin said, "It seems that ten strokes of the cane are not so bad; it doesn't look as heavy."
As for the emperor's filial piety...
He had already witnessed it firsthand.
Actually, it's not entirely nonexistent.
After all, back then, in the Imperial Study, a vase was shattered.
His Majesty does have some filial piety in his heart, but it doesn't seem to be much.
Anyway, there was no more favoritism towards that Mr. Su.
Su Yu smiled after hearing Emperor Qing's decree.
Emperor Qing must have been well aware of his own thoughts when he said those words.
However, it was because of his evil intentions and his plans for the Da Dongshan project.
He wanted to wipe out all the other grandmasters except him in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the plan cannot be revealed in advance.
Of course, this is also because they are unsure of their own abilities.
He dared not do anything to himself, so he resorted to this tactic.
Just do a quick, perfunctory job and get it over with.
Any emperor during a prosperous era is actually quite adept at this kind of skill of smoothing things over.
As for the Empress Dowager, she is not important.
Imperial families are inherently ruthless.
Emperor Qing, being so selfish to the extreme, would obviously not possess something as rare as familial affection.
Just like the Empress Dowager, who felt that her family was the most important thing.
The entire world is a repository of materials for their family to seek benefits.
The Empress Dowager's son, however, surpassed his mother in ability.
He himself is the most important.
The whole world, including his mother, wife, and son.
Everything was done to serve his power and his personal desires.
Anyone can be born and anyone can die.
It only depends on whether it benefits him.
Those that are advantageous are the chess pieces.
Those who have no use are discarded.
Clearly, in this matter today...
The Empress Dowager was thus abandoned.
Standing next to Su Yu was Fan Xian, a man who had read several palace intrigue novels.
Naturally, they also knew that the emperor was an extremely hypocritical person.
Although I don't know why he is so biased towards the gentleman.
But in any case, they definitely didn't have any good intentions.
If he wanted to deliver that imperial edict, he should have done so sooner rather than later.
