Su Buwei stood outside the side hall, his eyes frowned at the gray sky. His face was a little solemn, as if he had something in his heart that he couldn't understand.

In the past, the emperor did not shy away from him no matter what he said, but this time the emperor asked him to come out.

Liu Enjing, the general of the left Wu Guard, and Xu Xiaogong, the general of the right Wu Guard, were summoned the most times when these two men were in the capital. Su Buwei thought about it carefully and suddenly found that many times the emperor summoned these two men was when he was not in the East Nuan Pavilion. He had never noticed before, but now he thought about it, it was not that the emperor did not avoid him, but that he would always arrange some things for him to leave in advance.

If the emperor had not asked him to come out today, he would have thought of this detail.

Thinking of this, the corner of the eunuch who always leaned forward slightly couldn't help but twitch.

He sighed and walked towards the distance.

No one knows the emperor's condition better than him except the emperor himself. The emperor took all the medicines he took, and he had never even summoned the imperial doctor. It is said that the prescription was personally prescribed by Wan Xingchen, the old pervert in the martial arts academy, and he did not pass the hand of a second person, so Su Buwei also knew that from this point of view, the emperor did not trust him.

But what the emperor arranged, he didn't even tell him?

Luo Weiran was demoted. After leaving Chang'an City, Su Buwei was in charge of the entire inner city, and his secret guards gradually went from the dark to the bright spot. The once domineering Dawei's Feiyu robe had to be a man with his tail when he saw Jinyi School. Ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi, the once glorious Feiyu robe seemed to fade out of the historical stage.

So, when will I be abandoned by the emperor?

Su Buwei knew very well that Luo Weiran was not less loyal to the emperor than him. But the emperor seemed to be a little disgusted with him from beginning to end, and handed him over to him. At the beginning, he arranged a Hou Wenji and Luo Weiran to be on par. After Hou Wenji defected, he became the one who restricted Luo Weiran.

The emperor never seems to really trust anyone. If he has always been the person used by the emperor to monitor Luo Weiran, is there anyone who has been monitoring him?

Thinking of this, Su Buwei's back felt a little cold.

He looked back and saw a flash of horror in his eyes.

He wandered outside for a long time before the two generals came out of the side hall. Su Buwei looked at the faces of the two of them and wanted to see something from them, but he got nothing. These two people, Xu Xiaogong had been the general for a long time, and their qualifications in the army were only slightly lighter than Luo Yao. Although Liu Enjing was promoted before the Western Expedition, she was also an old fox who had been living in the officialdom for many years.

It is difficult to see something from these two people's faces.

Su Buwei didn't deliberately make any words. He knew that Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing would definitely be wary of it at this time. If he had made any words, even if he had no problems, it would become a problem. After seeing off the two generals, when Su Buwei returned to the side hall, the emperor had already laid off again.

Su Buwei hurried over and took out a new brocade quilt from the box to replace it with the emperor.

The emperor nodded to him, pointed to the chair next to the earthen kang and said seriously: "Su Buwei, sit down and talk."

Su Buwei was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly: "How dare I be arrogant in front of His Majesty?"

"For the past few years, you have been standing behind me. No matter what I ask you to do, you have never let me down. I know that many people in private say that you are my shadow, and you will be wherever I am. Since Wu Paisheng left the capital, although you have not had much time with me, I have a special trust and satisfaction in you. You are the most convenient person I am, and no one can compare to this."

"Your Majesty, this is the blessing of my servants."

Su Buwei bowed his head.

"Sit"

The emperor pointed to the chair again: "I want to see what it feels like if you don't stand behind me. I have never given you any rewards, and you never ask for any rewards. Sitting in front of me once is nothing last time. I just want you to experience what those courtiers who can sit in front of me feel."

"It is the duty of my servant to do things for His Majesty."

"Do you let me say it for the third time?"

The emperor looked at him, and his eyes seemed a little unhappy. Su Buwei didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he owed his body to sit down on the chair. But no matter what, he felt unprecedentedly awkward. He didn't know what was wrong, but after sitting down, he felt uncomfortable all over. He subconsciously glanced at the position he was used to standing, and suddenly realized that standing was much more comfortable than sitting.

"How do you feel?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

"I'm not at ease..."

"That's because you didn't sit down."

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "I said that if you are not a eunuch, I even wanted to let you enter the court as an official, and if you want to be a high-ranking official. I also said that there are so many civil and military officials in the court, but none of them are more clear than yours. If you let you go out, I will be relieved even if you are a chief official."

"The lives of my servants are all His Majesty."

Su Buwei wanted to stand up, but was suppressed by the emperor's gesture.

"Are you resentful?"

The emperor asked him.

"ah?"

Su Buwei was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the emperor's meaning.

"Don't pretend to be stupid to me, people like you can never pretend to be stupid."

"I dare not."

"I dare not, it's not..."

The emperor tightened the quilt tightly, and said after a moment of silence, "I know you will not be dissatisfied, but I must be afraid. You will think, I told Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing to do things but let you avoid them. Do you distrust you? And even though you think so, you still have to force yourself to do your best not to think about it... I guess right?"

Su Buwei quickly stood up and then knelt down on the ground: "It's a slave who is becoming less and less calm, and he is becoming less and less aware of his identity."

"I won't tell you because it's necessary to not tell you."

The emperor was silent for a while and said, "Do you still remember the allusion between Emperor Zheng Huizong of the previous dynasty and the eunuch-in-chief of the eunuch Yan Sanlei?"

Su Buwei's face changed and he lowered his head deeply: "I, thank your majesty for your kindness!"

The emperor waved his hand: "You should rest too, I'm exhausted."

Su Buwei stood up, bent down and retreated. When he went out, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his back were already stuck to his body.

During the former dynasty of Zheng Huizong, the person Zheng Huizong trusted the most was the eunuch, the eunuch, Yan Sanlei. No matter what Zheng Huizong wanted to do, he would discuss with Yan Sanlei first. After a long time, Yan Sanlei was inevitably becoming domineering. Later, even when the civil and military officials in the court met him, he would salute him. A eunuch of the sixth rank was like the prime minister of the current dynasty. Although there were censors who participated in all kinds of unruly things in Yan Sanlei, Zheng Huizong still trusted him as usual.

Later, because of the autocracy of the foreign relatives, the emperor wanted to depose the queen and suppress the queen clan. However, the queen clan was too strong, and even Zheng Huizong could not make a decision easily. He handed over this matter to Yan Sanlei. Yan Sanlei used all his skills to find a handsome young man to collude with the queen, and made people accused the uncle of stealing the country's treasury. Zheng Huizong took the opportunity to dismiss the queen and then slaughtered all the people who controlled the government in the queen's lineage.

Because of this incident, many people were implicated. However, because of this, Zheng Huizong was able to truly hold the power of the court in his own hands.

One day after suppressing the clan, Zheng Huizong asked Yan Sanlei to drink with him. After three rounds of wine, Zheng Huizong suddenly burst into tears. Yan Sanlei was puzzled and hurriedly asked the emperor why he was sad. Zheng Huizong said, you are the person I trust the most, I have never doubted you, no one knows about the queen except you, I know that you will never tell me, but if you are drunk, what if you talk in a sleep? But you are the person I trust the most, even if you tell me, I will not punish you.

Yan Sanlei was shocked after hearing this. After returning to his residence, he hesitated for a long time. That night, he cut his tongue and then resigned and returned to his hometown to recuperate.

Zheng Huizong repeatedly tried to keep him, but Yan Sanlei just refused. The emperor allowed him to return home and gave him a heavy reward.

Then... Yan Sanlei met a bandit on the way back to his hometown. Zheng Huizong cried bitterly after learning about Yan Sanlei's death, but he could not go to court early for three days. Three days later, Zheng Huizong issued an order to behead all the local officials in the place where Yan Sanlei was killed and buried with Yan Sanlei. Then, despite the opposition of the ministers, he posthumously named Yan Sanlei as a marquis.

Thinking of this allusion, how can Su Buwei not be afraid?

...

...

The emperor's sleep was getting less and less. Although he was deliberately forcing himself to sleep for a while, even if he fell asleep, he would wake up for at most two hours, and it was extremely difficult to sleep again. If it were in the past, the emperor would get up and continue to deal with state affairs. However, since the emperor personally led the emperor, he seemed to be much lazy. Even if he couldn't sleep, he would lie until dawn.

When the sun rose from the east, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, threw the handkerchief that he had wiped his mouth from last night into the stove and burned it. It actually used four pieces.

In recent days, he has vomited blood every night.

Wanxingchen's medicine is becoming more and more useless.

But today, the emperor was in good spirits after getting up. It was because he arranged what Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing did, or because he said to Su Buwei.

Su Buwei hurried in when he heard the movement and served the emperor to wash up.

"Send people back to the capital to pass the imperial edict. Prince Xu, Yang Kai, posthumously granted the title of Second-rank Protector of the State, and the title of Prince Jin was hereditary. His eldest son entered the Eastern Palace to study with him, and his second son was named Prince Guo..."

The emperor was silent for a while and waved his hand and said, "The person who asked the return to the prince told the prince that if someone opposes the court, he will hold his mouth in court. If anyone dares to say it again, he will be punished with fifty sticks. If he says it again, he will be killed without mercy. I have written a letter to the prince, and you will send someone to take it back and hand it to the prince himself. If someone jumps too hard, I don't mind letting the prince shine his knife in advance."

Su Buwei was shocked and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I have written it down."

"I heard you a while ago that Fang Jie ran out from the left vanguard and rushed to Lang Rushan with his men?"

"yes"

Su Buwei said, "The secret guards also reported the news that they only reported a few days ago."

"Send a capable person to send an order to Langrushan, and then he explained that he was the fourth-rank Xiongweilang general and the first-class county in Jin, and I handed over the troops from Langrushan to him. Tell him not to lose my face, nor to lose my face as Prince Xu! If he doesn't overturn the rebel Xidaying for me, he doesn't have to go back to the court to see me!"

"His Majesty……"

Su Buwei pondered for a while and asked, "Mr. Xiao Fang has not made any achievements, and he has been awarded too quickly, which may lead to criticism..."

"Su Buwei"

The emperor glanced at him: "Do I need to say it again?"

"I know the crime"

Su Buwei quickly lowered his head: "I will arrange for someone to go to Langru Mountain to pass the imperial edict."
