Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1768

Eunuch An's pupils trembled violently.

The imperial edict of succession! The red ink was as red as blood. The eight words "pass the throne to the crown prince Xiao Zhi" were eye-catching!

The seal imprint at the end still has the luster of gold powder.

The emperor actually gave his master an imperial edict to pass on the throne!

How could he be partial to the "prince who was living among the common people"? Could it be that he really believed the rumors wrongly?

Xiao Zhi suddenly stood up, and the imperial edict was blown by the wind. "Eunuch An, have you forgotten what you told me before, that man is not an ordinary person? If we follow his steps closely, we will surely achieve something?"

“That person”! It was the prince consort of that year!

Xiao Zhi added, "Have you forgotten that when the Prince Consort hit a Wan countryman's nose on the polo field, you came back and excitedly told me that the Prince Consort is the backbone of our North Wing! If we get the Prince Consort, the world will be shocked!"

He tapped his fingers on the stack of newspapers on the imperial desk that smelled of ink. "When the prince consort used movable type printing to print out 10,000 copies of the Yijing Weekly overnight, you told me that God had opened his eyes! Fortunately, the prince consort is the prince consort of our Beiyi. Otherwise, if he was born in another country, he would have been famous in that country."

"The night the old witch was executed," Xiao Zhi's voice was low and sad, "you cried until you fainted while holding your mother's tablet, saying that the princess and her husband were our benefactors."

"Why is it that today, the princess and her husband, who you described as upright and righteous, have become villains fighting for power and profit in your eyes?"

A series of questions made Eunuch An completely collapse. Tears rolled down his wrinkled cheeks and dripped onto the gold bricks in the imperial study. Yes, why did he suddenly feel that the princess and her husband were not good?

Xiao Zhi suddenly leaned forward, and the scent of ambergris mixed with the scent of ink pressed down heavily, "It is power that has blinded you!"

"Because you think I'm different now that I'm the crown prince! Just one step away! Anyone who stands in my way deserves death! Especially someone like your husband who is capable of both civil and military power, has suddenly become a stumbling block in your eyes!"

Eunuch An's ears were numb from the prince's voice. He once again put his forehead to the ground and sobbed, "This old slave... was wrong!"

Xiao Zhi murmured, "Eunuch An, do you think I care about that position?"

He took out a letter and handed it over, not letting go for a long time.

Eunuch An took it with both hands, read it through quickly, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

The letter was a report from the governor of Huizhou, saying that the new rice varieties planted this year had a yield 20% higher per mu than in previous years.

The letter also wrote that the ten-mile crabapple forest had been completed.

"Ten miles of Begonia Forest?" Eunuch An's hands were shaking.

Xiao Zhi's eyes softened, "Yes, the Ten Mile Begonia Forest is my gift to Eunuch An for his 40th birthday."

Eunuch An's throat choked with sobs, and his tears wet the letter in his hand.

His hometown is Yuping County, where crabapples are grown in abundance.

Seeing the crabapple tree is like seeing a relative.

He remembered the young prince squatting in the nursery, waving at him with muddy hands, "Eunuch An, when I have a fiefdom one day, I will plant ten miles of crabapples for you. When the crabapples bloom, I will brew flower wine for you!"

Eunuch An burst into tears.
