Chapter 0014: Past Lives
"Your Highness......"
Early the next morning, the Phoenix Palace.
Liu Ying was holding a bowl and eating a bowl of bland corn porridge, when he saw a little eunuch with a pale face and slightly feminine eyebrows and eyes walking into the hall and kneeling down cautiously.
"Hmm......"
Seeing the face of the person who came, Liu Ying naturally swallowed the rice porridge in her mouth, put the porridge bowl back on the table, waved her hand casually, and motioned to the maids standing on the side to retreat.
"It's all done?"
When there were only two figures left in the hall, the master and servant sitting and kneeling, Liu Ying wiped his mouth and looked at the little eunuch with a cold gaze.
Hearing Liu Ying's question, the little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, but only crawled on the ground in panic.
"Your Highness, it's all in order......"
Hearing this, Liu Ying only nodded slightly, and slowly got up from the front of the meal.
Although last night was the first time in Liu Ying's life that he spent the night in the Imperial Palace, that is, the Phoenix Palace, the closed career in his previous life made Liu Ying know all the big and small affairs in the palace.
Take the maidservant girl who intended to listen to the mystery last night, in the last life, she was the most typical 'speculator' of the imperial womb.
During Liu Ying's confinement, the maidservant girl entered the dormitory several times, and soon after, she began to plan to change positions and wanted to run to Changle Palace.
But it's a pity that not long after the maid was transferred to Changle Palace as she wished, before Liu Bang discovered her beauty, someone found a female corpse that had fallen into the water in the dry well behind the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace.
And in this life, the maid still hasn't escaped the tragic fate......
Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh slightly, the only trace of kindness left in her heart made Liu Ying blurt out.
"After a while, you will personally go to the parents of the maidservant and send cloth and rice as a condolence."
"If his relatives ask, they will say that he is seriously ill and died violently."
The tone of the indifferent explanation, Liu Ying did not forget to add casually: "Inside, it was said that he had committed adultery with the people in the temple in the palace, so he was killed with a cane." β
casually explained, but unexpectedly provoked the little eunuch to raise his head, glanced at Liu Ying in shock, and immediately trembled violently!
"Temple ......"
"Temple ............"
The word 'Your Highness' could not be spoken, and the little eunuch suddenly left tears of horror, but he was so frightened that he couldn't even cry.........
Seeing the little eunuch in front of him, he cried into tears in the blink of an eye, and Liu Ying's almost cold gaze quietly swelled with a touch of memory.
In his previous life, shortly after he ascended the throne, Liu Ying encountered the first problem of his career as emperor.
ββIn April of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang died, and Liu Yingxin Emperor ascended the throne; At the beginning of October, the Kwantung princes entered Chang'an to meet the new monarch.
But when Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, came to Chang'an with longing and asked to meet his biological mother, Mrs. Qi, there was already an extra 'human biao' in Yongxiang in Weiyang Palace......
On the one hand, it is impossible to see his biological mother, and he shouts all day long to see his biological mother's younger brother Liu Ruyi, and on the other hand, he is so annoyed that he can't kill Liu Ruyi's mother, Lu Pheasant.
Sandwiched between the two parties, Liu Ying can be said to be sandwiched inside and out, not a person.
After euphemistically persuading Lu Pheasant to no avail, and clearly learning that the old lady Lu Pheasant had murderous intentions towards Liu Ruyi, Liu Ying could only reluctantly order: bring King Zhao into the palace and send someone to protect him strictly.
Because Liu Ying was worried at that time: Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, died in Chang'an, and he would be contaminated with the stigma of 'unfriendly younger brother'.
But even if Liu Ying connected Liu Ruyi to the palace and personally sent someone to protect her, she still couldn't stop the old lady Lu Pheasant from killing the killer and sending Liu Ruyi on the road with a glass of poisoned wine.
Afterwards, Liu Ying didn't dare to complain to the old lady Lu Pheasant, so she could only find those people who were sent by Liu Ying to protect Liu Ruyi.
The result of the inquiry was hundreds of silently lowered heads, as well as a warrant from the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant.
In her previous life, Liu Ying didn't know how Liu Ruyi died.
But what Liu Ying knew was that on the day Liu Ruyi died of poison, the little eunuch in front of him disappeared into the palace out of thin air.
After that, Liu Ying never saw even a trustworthy person around him.
At this moment, looking at the little eunuch who was in reality out of thin air in the previous life, kneeling in front of him intact, the corner of Liu Ying's mouth couldn't help but hang a faintly invisible warm smile.
"In this life, you have to be smart......"
"Don't stop the unexplained 'evaporation of the world'......"
Secretly whispered to herself, but Liu Ying's face was still full of indifference.
"As for who you are committing adultery, you can see for yourself."
Hearing Liu Ying's previous words, the little eunuch's heart was already like ashes, and his eyes welled up with tears, and he could hardly see the slightest vitality.
It wasn't until Liu Ying said this sentence that the little eunuch was stunned for a moment.
After reacting to Liu Ying's mouth, the eunuch who 'committed adultery' with the servant girl was not himself, and the little eunuch finally recovered from the abyss of fear.
There were no words of thanks, just a face full of loyalty, a pair of eyes full of determination, and a head that was heavily knocked on the ground.
"Get up."
As soon as Liu Ying's words fell, the little eunuch got up from the ground in response, ignoring the forehead that had been broken, and only bowed down and stood behind Liu Ying's side.
Seeing this, Liu Ying finally smiled and paced outside the palace gate.
"Through this matter, check the maidservants and servants in the Phoenix Palace, but there are also adulterers."
As he spoke, Liu Ying stopped for a moment, did not turn around, and only turned his face to the little eunuch behind him.
"I thought that there should be three or two pairs ......of 'hard-working mandarin ducks' hiding in the womb and doing immoral things."
"Understood?"
The little eunuch was already petite, and coupled with his bowing body, Liu Ying couldn't see the little eunuch's face at all, only the head that dived slightly in response, and a male and female response.
"......"
Seeing that the little eunuch had recovered from the fear of death within a moment and returned to his current appearance, Liu Ying couldn't help but nod secretly.
"Kind of a clever ......"
Thinking in her heart, Liu Ying walked up again and came to the gate of the palace before stopping again.
"If you find out the adulterer, you don't need to interrogate, you don't need to investigate carefully, you can be killed with a rod!"
"The innocent maidservants, the inner temple, all those sent by the queen mother, are kept; The rest were all sent back to Shaofu. β
"If someone asks, they will say: The treasury is empty, the people are not hungry, and the prince does not dare to be extravagant, so he abolishes the maids and slaves in the palace to show the style of frugality and simplicity."
After explaining the affairs in the palace in the future, Liu Ying was about to step out of the main hall door of the Phoenix Palace, and turned around as if he suddenly remembered something.
"In the past few days, either the meritorious marquis has come to the palace in person, or someone has sent someone to send an invitation."
"If there is, report it quickly!"
After saying that, Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally did not speak again, and walked straight in the direction of Sima Men.
"Giving ...... Name"
"It's better not to rush."
"Well, look at it again, look at it again......"

PS: Adultery between a palace maid and a eunuch seems to be a bug at first glance, but it's not.
Not only that, this situation was not uncommon in the Western Han Dynasty, and even in the court of the entire feudal era.
