Chapter 796 I Won’t Save You This Time (39)
In fact, Fushun didn't have a good time during this period.
Although he had returned to the palace, after serving Liang Song for a few days after he woke up, he always felt that something was wrong.
The way Liang Song looked at him would unconsciously reveal a vague suspicion from time to time.
The gaze seemed casual, but when it fell on Fushun, it was like a pendant with sharp spikes, gently passing across his back, making him feel cold in his heart.
Who is Fushun? He is an old man who has been with Liang Song since he was a child.
Although I don’t know the hidden meaning behind Liang Song’s every move, every frown and smile, I can still tell his joy and anger.
Those eyes were clearly examining him.
But Fushun couldn't find out the reason.
He asked the palace servants who had been serving him during this period indirectly: Nothing special has happened to Liang Song recently.
The answer I got was nothing other than the sudden coma.
The vague feeling of alienation became more and more obvious.
"Chang Xi has grown too powerful." Fu Shun paced back and forth in his room with his hands behind his back, frowning as he thought to himself, "Not only does he want to take over my job in front of the emperor, he even wants me to leave the palace to retire!"
He sneered, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "Do you really think that anyone can take my place? I taught him all those skills!"
As the saying goes - teach your apprentice and starve yourself to death.
In such a deep palace, if you don't keep any tricks up your sleeve, after you die you will just be an unknown skeleton in a dry well or an abandoned garden somewhere.
Fushun narrowed his eyes and had already made up his mind.
He decided to take advantage of the situation and see what the conspiracy was.
On the second day, Fu Shun came to Liang Song's bedroom early as usual, ready to help him dress.
He had a respectful smile on his face and skillfully straightened Liang Song's collar, as if nothing had happened.
"Fu Shun, you are the general manager after all. You should let Chang Xi do these small personal services." Although Liang Song did not refuse Fu Shun's service, he still asked this question.
His tone was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, but it made Fu Shun feel nervous, but his expression did not change.
Fu Shun did not stop his work, still conscientiously tying the belt for Liang Song, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have been by your side for so many years, and even though I have become the chief eunuch now, this position was awarded to me by you.
How could I neglect my duty to you for such a small matter? If it really doesn't work, I can give up this position and just stay by your side and serve you."
He said these words with such sincerity that every word seemed to come from his heart.
Liang Song couldn't help but feel touched after hearing this.
Fu Shun is indeed his most capable confidant, and has been working for him diligently over the years without ever slacking off.
If you really give up someone who is so loyal to you just for a dream, it would be a bit too much.
Thinking of this, Liang Song decided to test Fu Shun again.
He pretended to be casual and asked, "Fushun, I remember when you came to me, I was just an inconspicuous prince. There were many people choosing slaves that year. Why did you want to come to my palace?"
Why? Of course, it’s to repay a favor!
Fu Shun would not hide these things that could be traced. He smiled and said calmly, "So your Majesty has forgotten it! Don't worry, I will tell you in detail later."
He paused and began to tell the story of those years ago.
It turned out that Fu Shun, who had just entered the palace, had little money, and he was not willing to send any of the monthly salary back home to his parents and younger brother!
Therefore, he had no extra money to "honor" his superiors, so when it was Fushun's turn, all that was left was the dirty and tiring work.
But this is not the most difficult part. What I am afraid of is being assigned to do something that is thankless and prone to mistakes.
At such times, young eunuchs like them, who had just entered the palace to serve, often became scapegoats.
That year, Fushun went to deliver something to a certain lady as per the regulations, but for some reason the thing was in good condition when it was delivered, but broke not long after.
So the palace servants who were responsible for delivering the rewards with him, along with Fu Shun, were beaten with thirty sticks.
The young and weak palace maid died on the spot.
He did not die immediately, but was dragged back to the room with the rest of the people.
Two more died the next day, and Fushun and another young eunuch both developed a high fever.
While he was in a daze, someone fed him medicine. When he woke up, Fushun found out that he was the only one alive among that group of people.
When Fushun said this, his body couldn't help but tremble a little, which was a normal reaction after a brush with life and death: "Later, I learned that it was His Majesty, who was still a prince at the time, who ordered the palace maid Xiao to send it to me.
Since then, I have vowed to repay your kindness in this life. Over the years, I have always taken good care of you and never had any second thoughts. "
After listening to Fu Shun's narration, Liang Song couldn't help but think of the phrase "fate changer" in his dream.
Back then, she was a palace maid named A Luo, and came to her side later than Fu Shun.
But it is obvious that the other party had been planning for him a long time ago.
After Fu Shun followed him, there was no chance to rescue Prince Duan from the pond, and this marked the beginning of the prince's failure.
Therefore, the person who changed his fate that the "King of Evil" Liang Song mentioned in the dream should be A Luo - his former concubine Xiao Qiluo.
Fu Shun felt a little uneasy when he saw Liang Song remained silent.
He didn't know and certainly didn't understand why Liang Song suddenly asked these questions, but he knew he had to behave more loyally.
So he knelt down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this life of yours was given by you, and I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly in this life. If you have any doubts about yours, I am willing to die to prove my loyalty!"
Liang Song looked at Fu Shun who was kneeling on the ground, and his suspicion towards this man was somewhat reduced.
Liang Song reached out his hand to help Fu Shun up, and his tone was much softer: "Get up, A Luo is gone, you are the closest person to me, how could I doubt you!"
We can no longer talk about the topic of "loyalty". If we talk about it too much, it will inevitably seem a bit deliberate. Fu Shun quickly took over the topic: "Your Majesty, the whereabouts of Concubine Xiao is currently a mystery. If we haven't seen the body, it's just speculation.
I believe that Concubine Xiao is blessed by fate. Maybe she is just injured or locked up!"
"The people around Liu Yunqing have confessed." Liang Song's expression began to become gloomy when he said this. "It's a pity that the big thing has not been accomplished yet, and I can't do anything yet. After this matter is over, I must bring back her bones, and then let A Luo sleep next to me, and we will be together forever!"
