Chapter 419: If You Can't Lick the Dragon Boots, You Will Be Buried
Following Xia Hong's instructions, every time it was time to drink the medicine, Eunuch Lin would come to the Imperial Hospital in person to watch the imperial physician prepare the medicine.
In order to get Shen Jinmo to say a few good words for him in front of Xia Hong, Eunuch Lin would do one step more than Xia Hong instructed these days.
He personally carried the medicine into the wing room that Shen Jinmo had left alone, and placed the medicine where Shen Jinmo could get it easily: "Greetings, Lord Shen."
Since the first day Shen Jinmo woke up, no matter how weak he was, he never let anyone else feed him the medicine.
Without moving the book in his hand, Shen Jinmo raised his hand slightly, signaling Eunuch Lin to step back first.
Eunuch Lin, who had never been treated so casually by anyone other than Xia Hong, did not feel unhappy.
If such an action was done by Xia Ling, then it would be considered contemptuous.
But for Shen Jinmo, it was just that he was tired these days and didn't want to talk to anyone.
In the past, Eunuch Lin would not have stayed any longer, but today, Eunuch Lin stood beside Shen Jinmo with a smile on his face.
"Does Lord Shen want to thank you, Master?"
Those sharp eyes showed different emotions because of this question. Without asking any more questions, he just stared at Eunuch Lin quietly.
A smart person like Eunuch Lin would not speak without reason.
With his voice lowered to a very low level, Eunuch Lin leaned close to Shen Jinmo's ear and said, "This morning, I met with Lord Sui at the Emperor's place. Lord Sui said that Xie Nanxing will leave the Divine Capital today."
"The secret guards outside reported that the plaques of Xie Mansion have all changed to Shen Mansion."
I'm not trying to fan the flames. Anyone who seeks a way out before the emperor should know what everything they are seeing means.
With his eyebrows slightly furrowed and the book in his hand put down, Shen Jinmo picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Eunuch Lin, I have never said anything bad about you in front of the emperor, so you don't have to try to please me."
If you don't say no, then naturally you can't say anything good either.
Shen Jinmo is Xia Hong's man, and he only cares about Xia Hong.
He smiled and suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart: "Look at what you said, I know what kind of person you are. I told you this today just to ask you to persuade Master Xie."
Waving the whisk in his hand, Eunuch Lin had found an excellent excuse.
"I have seen many masters in this palace who have left their hearts because of such trivial matters. You and Master Xie are both good people. I just don't want lovers to fail to get married."
nice guy?
In the imperial palace blessed by power, good or bad are the two most worthless words.
Shen Jinmo stood up, nodded slightly to Eunuch Lin, then turned and left the Imperial Hospital.
After Eunuch Lin watched Shen Jinmo leave, his right eyelid began to twitch.
But thinking that Shen Jinmo had always done things flawlessly and that he had never caused any trouble in the past, Eunuch Lin raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
The morning court ended exceptionally early today. Xia Hong, surrounded by palace servants, sat in the imperial sedan chair and headed for the Imperial Hospital.
When they got closer to the Imperial Hospital, Xia Hong saw Shen Jinmo walking towards the palace gate with his own eyes.
After staying there for a while with a hint of doubt, Xia Hong saw Eunuch Lin walking out of the Imperial Hospital.
The sedan chair landed on the ground, and Xia Hong's eyes were filled with dark clouds.
Eunuch Lin, who had finally suppressed his worries, fell to his knees when he saw the figure cast by the sunlight.
The north wind was strong, blowing away the last few fallen leaves from the treetops on both sides.
Also wanted to be taken away was Eunuch Lin, who was trembling in the north wind.
Lifting Eunuch Lin's chin with his foot, Xia Hong's voice was filled with laughter: "You mean by being nice to Wang Heng, you mean at the cost of betraying me?"
Sweat dripped down Xia Hong's cheeks onto his dragon boots, and tears, which had never been shed in front of the emperor, also fell from his slightly closed eyes.
It's the fear of death.
"I know I am wrong, please forgive me, Master."
A eunuch who lived on the emperor's favor, from the day the emperor's favor began to drift away from him, Eunuch Lin began to become less and less like himself.
He began to have trouble guessing what Xia Hong was thinking, and he began to have trouble serving his master, Xia Hong...
To this day, he actually betrayed his master Xia Hong just to please a minister.
He took off the dragon boots that were stained with Eunuch Lin’s sweat and tears and put on new dragon boots.
Xia Hong kicked his boot towards Eunuch Lin, and the viciousness in his eyes turned into amusement.
"Kneel here and lick these boots of mine dry with your tongue. If you can't, you will be buried with my dragon boots with your life."
"After you do it, you will serve the tiger that General Xiao Han gave me."
Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin will never have to go back in this life.
Eunuch Lin held the two dragon boots in his hands and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"I thank Your Majesty for his grace."
How can the tongue lick the dragon boots dry?
In the end, whether he would die or escape death depends on whether Xia Hong is willing to spare his worthless life before sunset.
After the imperial carriage left, the two eunuchs who stayed behind to stare at Eunuch Lin kicked him hard twice: "Hurry up and lick it, do you want to be dragged down and have your head chopped off now?"
Eunuch Lin looked at the two eunuchs who had been particularly attentive to him in the past with murderous eyes. Not only did he fail to intimidate the two, but he was kicked hard twice instead.
The hat belonging to the eunuch chief was kicked off his head. Eunuch Lin walked on the busy palace road, numbly licking the dragon boots in his hands, which became wetter and wetter.
The dragon boots were difficult to dry, but Eunuch Lin's tongue was rubbed red by the gold thread.
All the looks that fell on Eunuch Lin were full of teasing. The once powerful Eunuch Lin had become a useless person who could be stepped on by everyone.
It was not until a man walked past Eunuch Lin and drove away those who spat at him that Eunuch Lin finally got a moment of peace.
--
They walked all the way to the palace gate without any obstructions, and the imperial guards led the horse prepared for Shen Jinmo at the palace gate.
As the first-rank minister of the Imperial Guards under the command of the Imperial Guards, Shen Jinmo was not allowed to enter or leave the palace in broad daylight. Even if he entered or left the palace after the palace was closed, the imperial guards inside and outside the palace would make it easy for him.
They rode at full speed towards the city gate. The garrison commander heard that Shen Jinmo was coming in person, so he brought the generals stationed in the city to welcome him at the city gate.
There are officials in this world who want to be recognized by the people, but there are even more people who, after entering the officialdom, want to have a successful career.
"Lord Shen was poisoned a few days ago. I wonder if he is in good health now?"
He glanced sideways at the guards, and all the endless compliments were swallowed by them.
The feet that were trying to follow and flatter were all restrained in place because of Shen Jinmo's slightly raised hand.
It seemed as if his legs would be chopped off if he took another step behind Shen Jinmo.
Walking up to the city wall, all the city guards within five feet around Shen Jinmo were scared away.
Standing on the corner tower overlooking the entire divine capital, Shen Jinmo put on the newly bought bearskin cloak in the wind.
He didn't know whether Xie Nanxing had left the capital, but he had to come and see Xie Nanxing off.
Regardless of whether Xie Nanxing saw him or not.
