Chapter 400: The King of Hell Wants Him to Die
Jiang Yingcheng was eating melons when it reached a critical moment. After hearing the noise, he looked up with concern. After confirming that it was nothing serious, he lowered his head happily and devoted himself to eating melons again.
Jiang Yanchuan paused meaningfully on Eunuch Changshun's face for a while, then glanced at General Kan's memorial thoughtfully, and finally turned his wrist gently -
"Snapped!"
The memorial that had just been lying neatly on the desk suddenly fell to the ground. Eunuch Changshun was stunned, and his eyes slowly raised from the memorial to meet Emperor Mingze's obviously urging gaze.
In just a moment, he understood the meaning of that look——
Pick it up, read it aloud, and change the topic to the main topic.
Eunuch Changshun: “…”
Eunuch Changshun felt bitter.
Under normal circumstances, if the official accidentally dropped a memorial to the ground, even if he needed to pick it up, he must not peek at its contents.
There is no absolute in this matter.
If the government needed him to help read the contents of memorials, or needed him to classify the memorials according to their importance, he could just act as an emotionless flipping machine.
Can……
No matter which situation it is, it has nothing to do with the one in front of us.
Without the prior consent of Emperor Mingze, he rashly peeked at the contents above and even "accidentally" read them out loud...
If word of this gets to the ears of those ministers, the memorials impeaching him will be as thick as the "small mountain" on the desk today!
What kind of human suffering is this!
Swallowing bitter tears, Eunuch Changshun took a deep breath and stepped forward with the determination to die bravely.
He picked up the memorial, panicked, and accidentally glanced at it, and exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty! The content of this memorial is about the war in Beiming!!"
The whole set of movements was smooth and the expression on his face was extremely natural, as if he really did not do it at the instruction of Emperor Mingze.
Jiang Yingcheng finally raised her head from the gossip on the screen and looked blankly at her Uncle Changshun.
There was only complete doubt in his eyes.
[Uncle Changshun, do you want to die?! ]
Eunuch Changshun: “…”
The King of Hell wanted him to die at three o'clock in the morning, so how could he dare to delay until five o'clock?
Jiang Yanchuan nodded with satisfaction and scolded, "How outrageous!"
Eunuch Changshun bent his knees and knelt down on the spot: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was careless for a moment and made such a big mistake. I hope Your Majesty will punish me!"
Jiang Yanchuan deliberately paused for a moment and tilted his head slightly. Not long after, he heard the little guy's hurried pleading voice.
“Father, please don’t blame Uncle Changshun—” Her voice even had a hint of tears in it, “Uncle Changshun must have been too tired from accompanying Chengcheng out to play, and he was distracted for a moment, so he accidentally read Father’s memorial!”
In a corner that the little guy couldn't see, Jiang Yanchuan's lips curled up slightly, and then he sighed softly: "Since Yingcheng has begged for mercy like this, I will spare your death."
"Go get twenty for yourself—"
The hand that was holding the little guy's forearm suddenly tightened. Noticing the little guy's nervousness, Jiang Yanchuan immediately changed his words and said, "Go get ten boards yourself."
Eunuch Changshun kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude and was soon dragged to the backyard. Not long after, very realistic cries of pain were audible.
“Ah! Ouch!! It hurts, it hurts—”
Every time Eunuch Changshun shouted, Jiang Yingcheng would tremble unconsciously.
Before the little girl and "Brother Tong" could inquire about the situation of Grandpa Changshun, Jiang Yanchuan spoke up and interrupted her attention.
"Speaking of Bei Ming," Jiang Yanchuan reached out and stroked the little guy's furry head twice, "Father also has something to say to Cheng Cheng."
——There were no outsiders in the imperial study. If he mentioned the contents of the memorial himself, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. But since the matter was accidentally mentioned by Eunuch Changshun, he could just go with the flow.
Jiang Yingcheng had not yet recovered from the sudden situation. When she raised her head, the expression of heartache that made her gasp had not yet subsided, and the look in her eyes as she looked at her handsome father was still a bit dazed.
"hold head high?"
Jiang Yingcheng said obediently: "What is it~"
Jiang Yanchuan's eyes were deep, and he finally said what had been stuck in his heart for a long time: "Father will go with the army to the Beiming battle in a few days."
The moment he finished speaking, an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
He was also very worried about the little guy's days in the palace, wondering if he would be wronged and have no one to complain to.
Fang Siwan was still under house arrest in the Xingshuang Palace. When the little guy went to visit her yesterday, she lied that it was not appropriate to stop chanting the Buddha's name halfway. She only said a few words to the little guy through the door and hurriedly ended the reunion.
He knew that the little guy missed his "mother" very much, but he put Fang Siwan under house arrest. On the one hand, it was a punishment for her act of replacing her child. On the other hand, it was also a way to temporarily appease Fang Yiwan who was outside the palace.
Before the battle of Beiming was over, he could not touch anyone in the Lin Mansion.
When the time comes, he will lead the army to fight in person, and the two people closest to her will be missing from the palace. Who knows how sad the little girl will be.
Jiang Yingcheng didn't know why her beautiful father suddenly wanted to tell her about this, but -
[Hehehe, you never thought that Chengcheng would also go there! ]
[When Cheng Cheng hid in the carriage and followed us to Bei Ming, Cheng Cheng suddenly jumped out and gave his father a surprise! ]
Thinking of this, she looked innocent and well-behaved: "Then father, you must be careful~"
"Chengcheng will be in the palace, waiting for father to come back obediently!"
Jiang Yanchuan: "..."
If he hadn't been able to hear the little guy's inner voice, he might have really been fooled by such superb acting skills.
Jiang Yanchuan felt that he sighed much more times that day than in the past year.
He tried to find something for the little guy to do: "Father knows that you don't like school, but the teacher who is in charge of teaching you in the palace this time is the great scholar who taught Father at that time. You should study hard in the palace. When Father comes back, he will check your homework."
Jiang Yingcheng nodded perfunctorily, unmoved: "Yeah, yeah, okay!"
[Anyway, once Cheng Cheng runs away, Master won’t be able to do anything to him! ]
Jiang Yanchuan stared at the little girl for a long while, and there was no trace of guilt in her eyes. He wondered if this was the result of how much time she had practiced privately.
He was almost amused by this stubborn little kid.
However, he was not completely without a solution.
"After a while, father will be busy preparing for the Beiming war and will have no time to take care of your daily life," Jiang Yanchuan stared into the little guy's eyes and said cruelly, "When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will take you to Changning Palace and personally take care of your daily life."
