Chapter 175: Let the Concubines Fast
The emperor looked at Butler Zhou with a teasing look in his eyes.
"You are a good person. Did you personally deliver food to them?"
When the emperor asked this, Steward Wang quickly closed the door and knelt respectfully before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am your servant. No matter what, I will share your worries. It is most important for you to understand your thoughts."
Hearing what Chief Steward Wang said, the emperor smiled.
"Humph, they are not as sensible as you. Give them some water and rice to eat first, and then cut off their food and drink in two days."
After the emperor said this, Manager Wang didn't dare to persuade him even though he wanted to.
Anyway, he wouldn't die from starvation for two days. He had experience in this area.
"Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself and eat more."
Steward Wang also hopes that the emperor will live a long life. How did he say that?
A new emperor appoints new ministers. If the emperor passes away, his tenure as chief eunuch will be over.
"I want to practice, so I'll take this opportunity to fast for a while."
As soon as the emperor mentioned fasting, Steward Wang felt that he was in big trouble.
The so-called fasting does not mean not eating at all, because if you really don’t eat, you can’t even last three days.
Just eat very little, very light food, just a little bit a day.
In this way, one can enter a state of purity of mind and abstinence from desires, and the food will not be tainted by the foul air.
But every time Your Majesty goes on a fast, he becomes extremely hungry.
If this person were an ordinary person, he would rest and endure the hunger.
But he is the emperor, so when he is not satisfied he will lose his temper, and the unlucky ones are the servants who serve him closely.
Either they were beaten or they were killed.
Every time he practiced fasting, two of his eunuchs would die.
This unfortunate and wicked idea was thought up by that bastard Imperial Master.
Chief Steward Wang was also fed up with the Imperial Master. Not only did this guy take away the Majesty's favor and trust for him, he also always caused trouble for him.
Forget about the concubines in the palace. After all, they are your Majesty's wives and concubines. It is only right that they share your favor.
But what is he, a national teacher? Humph, he is just good-looking.
Thinking of this, Manager Wang became even more depressed.
“But Your Majesty, if you fast at this critical moment, then if the gentlemen do something wicked, I will have no idea what to do.
If you want to practice, why don't we wait until the Star Picking Tower is built and then practice on the top of the highest building? Wouldn't that be more effective?"
The emperor thought about it and agreed.
After all, I fainted once during my last practice. If I faint again this time, I might get into trouble.
If the ministers knew about this, they might really cause trouble.
"That's all! Tell the Queen to lead the concubines in meditation according to my standards!"
Manager Wang: ...
He really wanted to say that being His Majesty's concubine was not easy.
These delicate concubines, can they bear it?
Forget it, let the concubines starve. They can lose some weight. After all, they don’t eat much on a daily basis.
"Slave, you obey!"
"By the way, where's that fellow Xian Wang? Is he back?"
Hearing this question, Manager Wang's heart tightened slightly.
King Xian really came back, but he brought back another 100,000 victims.
Hey, is this food really edible?
He couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, there were 200,000 people, so how much food would they need?
"Your Majesty, I heard that the prince brought back another 100,000 disaster victims, and they just arrived outside Kyoto yesterday."
Hearing this, the emperor opened his eyes and glanced at Steward Wang.
"You are quite well informed."
"Your Majesty, I am keeping an eye on this for you. This is the news sent by the Hidden Dragon Guards. You are praying for blessings, so I asked."
The emperor smiled and nodded, that was true.
He had to go to court every day, and there were so many important matters waiting for his decision every day, which was really cumbersome.
He finally had the opportunity to practice in seclusion, so naturally he had to comprehend the Tao.
During this period of time, he just wants to be free from all disturbances so that he can practice well. If any concubine or minister is so blind as to disturb him, then just wait!
So when the emperor heard what Steward Wang said, he didn't say anything but nodded.
"Well done. You are the one who understands my thoughts best."
"Your Majesty thinks too highly of me. I have served you for more than 40 years. I am your favorite."
"Haha, you are doing a good job as a bug. I will not let Prince Xian come to pray for blessings, otherwise there will be trouble outside."
The emperor is smart. Although he wants to pray for blessings, he also knows that there should be no chaos outside. If there is chaos, he will be in trouble.
Because of this, he let Tang Mingchen go and let him deal with the mess outside.
After hearing this, Manager Wang was finally relieved. After all, if something really went wrong, Prince Xian would be in trouble.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Hmph, stop flattering me. Just do your job well. I won't treat you unfairly."
When the emperor said so, Steward Wang agreed with a smile.
Even if there is no reward, can I not do my job well?
He has been serving the emperor for so many years. Although he is very versatile and tries his best to take care of everyone, it is inevitable that he will offend people.
Over the years, he has made a lot of money, but at the same time, he has also offended a lot of people. Many people hope he will die.
So, he only hoped that the emperor could live a long life and that he could live a peaceful life until his death.
As it was an offensive matter, Steward Wang did not want to go himself, so he specifically called his apprentice to deliver the message. He could even imagine how furious the scene would be when the Queen and concubines received the message.
"What! You let me eat these things!"
The queen never expected that not only would she be confined here, but she would also be deducted?
"You little dog slave! How dare you deduct money from me! You are so bold!"
After the queen scolded him like this, the young eunuch knelt down on the spot.
"Empress, I would not dare to do this even if I had a hundred courages! This is truly the emperor's decree, and all the empresses in the palace are subject to the same order."
The young eunuch knew that the matter had to be made clear quickly, otherwise he would be the one in trouble.
"All the queens in the palaces are like this!"
The queen thought that the emperor was targeting her and the Lin family.
After all, the news from outside was that all the people she sent out were killed and sent to the door of the Lin family.
This was simply a humiliation. She had not expected Liu Rumei and Tang Mingchen to have such strength.
Not only that, what happened to the Xie family?
Now she has no idea what's going on and is like an ant on hot pot.
Because of praying, the people around her couldn't go out and couldn't get any news.
And how is the prince doing? He is just getting better, can he bear the hunger?
At this moment, Queen Lin really wanted to run to the emperor and stab him hard.
If he wanted to live forever, he could just practice on his own. Why should he bring them to suffer with him?
"get out!"
The Queen was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. After all, the Qianlong Guards and the Imperial Guards were all the Emperor's men, and the people she trained in the palace were no match for them.
And his father wouldn't let him kill the king!
Haha, so what if it’s regicide!
"Mammy, has father sent anyone to deliver the message?"
