Chapter 262 'Obedient' Little Eunuch Forced Love 01
I once worshipped you as a god, but in the end you were trampled into dust by the god;
And now that I am covered in mud, I just want to drag you into the abyss and sink endlessly.

[Ding! You have arrived at the first plane! ]
[The world story is loading, please wait! ]

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Huai Yanzhi, the head of the East Factory, has for many years been forming a clique for personal gain, persecuting loyal officials, disrupting the government, and even attempting rebellion. He should be sentenced to death according to the law.
But considering that I have just ascended the throne and have shown mercy to the world, and also taking into account our past friendship, I have specially granted him a cup of poisoned wine, leaving his body intact, as a token of my great grace. I decree this!"
"Mr. Factory, please accept my order and express your gratitude."
The eunuch who announced the imperial edict put it away and looked at the person standing not far away with a look of disdain.
The young eunuch following behind him very attentively brought the poisoned wine on the plate over to him.
In this relatively clean cell, a man in prison uniform looked up at the two people in front of him without saying a word.
He just stood there, even though he was covered in blood, it couldn't conceal his aura.
But seeing that he did not move for a long time, the eunuch who announced the decree became a little impatient.
"Master, this is the will of His Majesty, please don't make things difficult for us."
The eunuch who announced the decree continued, "After all, we are acquaintances, so please go in."
After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, but seeing that the person still didn't respond, he couldn't help but frowned with an unpleasant look on his face.
The eunuch announcing the decree immediately put away the false respect on his face and said impatiently, "Master, please don't dawdle any longer. I'm in a hurry to return and report."
"Your Majesty is so kind as to only grant me poisoned wine. You should be content."
He said, "Besides, now that the imperial decree has been issued, you have to drink this wine sooner or later. Don't waste your time here."
Hearing this, Huai Yanzhi's expression changed slightly.
"Where is His Majesty?" He spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
The eunuch announcing the decree showed disdain, but still said, "Your Majesty is very busy and has many government affairs to attend to. As for your matter, I will leave it to my family to take full responsibility."
"So, Mr. Factory, I still advise you not to wait."
Upon hearing this, Huai Yanzhi lowered his eyes, but did not speak again.
It has been five days since I was locked up here.
And he waited for that person for five days.
In fact, what this palace lacks the most are people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
What's more, over the years, he has been very calculating and scheming, and naturally he has offended many people.
Now that he has suddenly fallen from power, all his past calculations have become sharp swords stabbing him.
So, of course, there are people who will take advantage of the situation.
But he persisted in waiting here for five days, but still failed to wait for the person he wanted to wait for.
In fact, the inside story is not difficult to guess, but he is stubborn and wants an explanation.
But now that I think about it, maybe he really can't wait any longer.
Huai Yanzhi sighed lightly and closed his eyes.
Everything in the past flashed through his mind like a passing scene.
When I was a kid, I had no idea where to start;
When I first entered the palace, those difficult days and nights;
And having survived the time when death was imminent at any moment, he was powerless to resist when he was bullied;
.........
He longs for power, wants to be strong, and wants to stand at the pinnacle of power.
So in the end, step by step, he became the powerful and murderous head of the East Factory in the eyes of others.
He was once second only to one man and above ten thousand, but now he has been brought back to the dust again...
Thinking of this, Huai Yanzhi couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt very boring.
He was sold by his parents when he was young, and was always trampled underfoot after entering the palace. Now, he seems to have become that person's abandoned child.
He has been abandoned all his life.
Looking back on his past, it seemed that he had gained nothing, yet also seemed to have lost everything.
That absurd and useless life really seemed like a joke.
Huai Yanzhi's gaze fell on the cup of poisoned wine, and a hint of bitterness couldn't help but spill out from the corner of his mouth.
Coming alone and leaving alone seems to be a good choice...
-----------------
In the 29th year of Qianqing's reign, the Emperor of Beiyue passed away and Crown Prince Lu Huaiyuan ascended the throne.
In November of the same year, the factory manager Huai Yan was arrested for plotting rebellion, and other people involved were also imprisoned.
The new emperor eliminated the influence of the East Factory and completely took power away from the eunuchs.
Lu Huaiyuan used strong means to eliminate these people, and Huai Yanzhi, the "mastermind", was given a cup of poisoned wine.
At the same time, in the new emperor's bedroom.
The huge and spacious main hall seemed very quiet.
There were only intermittent coughs, which made people feel uneasy.
The imperial physician was kneeling beside him, looking down to take someone's pulse.
The man was lying on the couch, his eyes half closed and his face pale.
After a long while, Doctor Li withdrew his hand.
He frowned and said, "Your Majesty is not seriously ill. He is just feeling unwell due to recent fatigue."
"I will prescribe some tranquilizing medicine for Your Majesty later."
As the best physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he is the one who takes care of their Majesty's health most of the time.
The other person's disease was brought from the womb.
In those days, the late emperor also recruited doctors from all over the world to treat him.
But the final conclusion was that he might not live past the age of 25.
Judging from the other party's physical condition in recent years, that statement is not groundless.
His Majesty is only twenty-one years old now, but his body is basically at the end of its strength.
Even if he were treated by a skilled doctor, he probably wouldn't have many years left to live.
Thinking of this, the imperial physician couldn't help but sigh.
Both parties are well aware of each other's true physical condition.
So at this time, the imperial physician did not intend to say more.
Besides, everyone knows that their Majesty has just brought down that factory manager.
Now is the time when we are in high spirits.
If he were to say something that spoils the fun right now, it's doubtful whether he would be able to escape alive afterwards!
After all, this new emperor, who appears gentle and kind to outsiders, is actually a ruthless and murderous person.
Or to be more precise, the other party is a 'madman'.
Who among those who work under him doesn't live in fear all day long?
I’m afraid that I might make a mistake one day and lose my life.
Therefore, they really have to be careful about what they say.
However, thinking of this, the imperial physician glanced at the man lying on the couch who had not spoken a word, and gave another instruction.
"Your Majesty's old illness is difficult to cure, so you shouldn't overwork yourself."
He said, "The previous medicine still needs to be taken on time."
"But Your Majesty must also rest more and take care of your health."
After he finished speaking, the person lying on the couch moved his eyelids.
As soon as Lu Huaiyuan regained consciousness, he heard those words.
