I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Hmm! This candied fruit is indeed sweet, but my beloved one is still sweeter." Xiao Heng stood up and hugged Li in his arms. Li held his shoulders and smiled tenderly.

"Then your majesty, please stop being unhappy!"

"Well, I understand, sister." Xiao Heng gently straightened her body and looked at her affectionately, "I promised to give you everything, and I will definitely bring them to you in person."

"Yes, OK." Li replied softly, reaching out to stroke Xiao Heng's cheek, "Ah Heng grew up under my watch. Of course I understand and trust Ah Heng."

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Li Peidong arrived, he saw Xiao Heng and Li being affectionate with each other and lowered his head instantly.

"You bastard! Who allowed you to come in? Didn't you see what I was doing?" Xiao Heng's affection was broken by Li Peidong. He was immediately furious and threw all the frustration in his heart on him, "Get out now!"

"Your Majesty!" Li gently pressed Xiao Heng's hand down, turned around and said to Li Peidong in a gentle voice: "Don't mind, Eunuch Li, His Majesty is in a bad mood today."

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li must have something important to tell you. I cannot delay your important matter. I will take my leave now."

"Sister..." Xiao Heng hesitated, stretched out his hand to keep her, then put it down again, "Sister, wait for me. I will come to find you after I finish my work."

"Okay." Li smiled gently, turned around, nodded slightly to Li Peidong, and walked out.

Li Peidong raised his head and glanced at her with a complicated expression. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and turned to greet Xiao Heng. "Your Majesty, the news that you approved Lord Jiang's resignation today has spread. The Su family is very happy, but the Wen family..."

"The Wen family seems a little worried. I just received a note saying that Lord Wen wanted to enter the palace, but I blocked him. I don't think His Majesty wants to see them now."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I acted on my own initiative."

Xiao Heng nodded and did not blame him. Li Peidong had been by his side for many years, and he believed that he understood him and trusted him even more. "Even if I don't let him into the palace today, he will definitely intervene when I announce this matter to the court tomorrow morning."

"But since this is Lord Jiang's intention, I guess Minister Wen can't say much, right?"

"Humph! Hasn't he said enough?" Xiao Heng sneered contemptuously, "He just relies on the fact that all the scholars in the court are his students, so he thinks he is very important in the court!"

"You simply don't take me seriously!"

Xiao Heng became angry again as he spoke, "I get upset when I see him! I get even more upset when I see people who see him!"

"Li Peidong, go and urge the Imperial Hospital to find out what those old guys are doing! How long do they want me to wait?"

Xiao Heng waved his hand, lifted up the memorial on the table, pointed at the red comments on it and said to Eunuch Li: "Look, look, look at the memorial submitted by that old man. The person I worked so hard to cultivate was criticized by him as worthless!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Li Peidong's expression darkened again. "I will ask the Imperial Hospital, but Your Majesty, you must not rush what you want to do. You must not let anyone catch you."

"Your Majesty, the new emperor has only been on the throne for a short time. You should be patient as power in the court falls into the hands of others." Li Peidong advised earnestly.

When Xiao Heng heard these two words, he became annoyed and irritated. He waved his hand to send him out and walked straight towards Li's room.

"Xiao Xizi," Li Peidong called to the eunuch beside him expressionlessly, "Keep a close eye on that woman. If she dares to harm His Majesty, get rid of her and don't ask me."

"Daddy, you are afraid..." The little eunuch named Xiao Xizi looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth.

"If you are afraid that she will harm your majesty, why don't you just get rid of her?" Xiao Xizi asked puzzledly: "She is just a woman, are you afraid..."

"She is different. His Majesty treats her differently from others." Li Peidong's expression darkened, and he looked at the direction where Li left with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. "After all, she grew up with His Majesty. His Majesty has other feelings for her. We don't want to touch her unless it is absolutely necessary."

"But if that woman dares to mislead His Majesty, I will kill her even at the cost of my life!"

Xiao Heng was not favored when he was young, so Li, as his wet nurse, naturally took care of him with all her heart. As a result, Xiao Heng, who lost his mother's love since childhood, unknowingly developed different feelings towards Li.

Thinking of what Xiao Heng experienced in his childhood, Li Peidong's cold expression gradually softened. However, the presence of that woman beside His Majesty was always a thorn in Eunuch Li's heart. Xiao Heng was so bewitched by her that he wished he could cut out his heart and show it to her.

"Go ahead and keep an eye on her for us!"

"Hey!" Xiao Xizi responded with a smile, "Don't worry, leave it to me, Daddy!"

Xiao Xizi is Li Peidong's adopted son. A eunuch like him who entered the palace at a young age would never have his own children in his lifetime, so some babies who had just entered the palace would be adopted as his adopted sons so that there would be someone to take care of him by his bedside when he was old.

After all, Li Peidong was a popular figure around the emperor, and there were many eunuchs who wanted to be his sons. Xiao Xizi was chosen by him. When Li Peidong saw him for the first time, he thought this boy was smart and likable, so he kept him by his side to work. Over time, seeing that he worked hard, he agreed to adopt him as his adopted son.

Most of those who worship the old eunuch as their father can thrive in the palace. After all, these eunuchs who entered the palace when they were young would not have survived to this day if they did not have any skills.

Li Peidong smoothed his white hair and nodded at him, "After all, our family is old, and we will leave it to you little kids in the future."

"You are not old, father! You must live to be a hundred years old, so that little Xizi can be filial to you in the future, and you can enjoy a few days of happiness."

"It's enough that you have the intention, kid. Go quickly!" Li Peidong smiled and waved his hand, looking at Xiao Xizi with more and more satisfaction. He had served the emperor for many years, and no one in the palace would be rude to him. Even the masters in the harem had to politely call him Eunuch Li when they saw him.

However, Li Peidong never took advantage of Xiao Heng's favor to be arrogant. This was the way of survival he had accumulated after living in this palace for many years. Eunuchs like them were supposed to serve their masters. A servant is a servant after all, even if he ascended to heaven, he is still a servant, and his life is in the hands of his master for the rest of his life.

"I have lived in this palace all my life. What have I not seen? All those delicacies from land and sea, gold, silver and jade, after seeing them too much, they are nothing but material possessions. When I grow old and die, in the end, only a handful of yellow earth will be left, scattered randomly on the base of a wall."

"A rootless person will drift around like duckweed all his life, with nowhere to take root."
