At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

When Chu Ling visited the Imperial Garden once again, his mindset was completely different. Although his situation remained inconvenient, he was well aware of how difficult it would be to break through the impasse and seize power.

But at least regarding the Great Yu and other countries, he gained a clearer understanding, which will be of immeasurable help to his future judgments and even plans!

Yu Palace Imperial Garden.

Mingde Palace.

Chu Ling sat there listlessly, staring at the dozens of eunuchs standing in the hall. He wondered if they ever got tired.

Through his observation, Chu Ling discovered that these eunuchs could remain completely still for four hours while on duty in the palace, just like statues.

If you insist on nitpicking, that's just blinking.

Each eunuch blinks at a different frequency.

As for the eunuchs who would take over the shift four hours later, they would naturally move around. However, Chu Ling observed that the eunuchs taking over the shift did not show any signs of fatigue, nor did they even have any extra expressions.

This is a bit scary.

Although Chu Ling didn't know what these eunuchs were called, he came to the conclusion that these eunuchs who were transferred to the emperor's court must have undergone long-term training, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to be like this.

So where exactly were the military eunuchs stationed in the Yu Palace?

And who is in charge of training them?

This is something Chu Ling really wants to know.

For the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, whose status was so revered, such trivial matters were not something an emperor should think about, or even entertain the thought of. What an emperor should consider were important military and political affairs, the fate of the nation, and the conquest of powerful enemies!

No matter how capable a eunuch is, he is still a servant of the imperial family.

As a master, is it necessary to care about your servants?

The answer is no.

Chu Ling was just incredibly bored.

Five days passed in this way after moving from Ganlu Hall to Mingde Hall. Chu Ling had done everything he needed to think about, sort out, and plan.

At first, when he was in the Mingde Hall, Chu Ling felt that time was passing quite quickly, since he had things to do. But in the end, Chu Ling felt that each day was like a year!

All you do all day is eat and sleep. Even if you have many people serving you, being stuck in one place for a long time would drive anyone crazy!

"Go back all!"

While Chu Ling was still observing the eunuchs in the hall, Li Zhong, who had disappeared for five days, led a man into the hall and calmly addressed the eunuchs on duty.

The eunuch inside the palace remained unmoved.

"Leave the main hall!!"

When Chu Ling looked over, a person appeared at the palace gate. He said coldly, and all the eunuchs lowered their heads and retreated towards the palace gate. At the same time, many of the eunuchs secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's true that they are undergoing rigorous training, but in recent days, the Emperor has been keeping a close eye on them. Even if they are in a good mood, it's hard not to feel a ripple of unease.

Is it finally over?

This was what many eunuchs were thinking, and it even caused a change in the expressions of some of them.

After all, we are just mortal beings.

Chu Ling, who noticed these subtle changes, showed no change on his face, but a sense of amusement arose in his heart. He thought these eunuchs would be like machines, but people are not machines after all. People get tired. If they don't know how to get tired, have no emotions, and don't have worries, then they are not human, but gods!

Unfortunately, there are no gods in this world, only mortals.

No matter how high one's status may be, one will eventually face birth, aging, sickness, and death.

"This servant greets the succeeding emperor."

Upon reaching the emperor, Li Zhong bowed respectfully to Chu Ling.

"who is she?"

Chu Ling's attention wasn't on Li Zhong, but rather on the girl who had come with him; Chu Ling was curious about her identity.

"Reporting to the Emperor."

Li Zhong truthfully replied, "She is a maid sent by the three empresses to serve you. Her name is Wan Qiu'er, and she will often accompany the emperor in his presence."

"You've been away from Mingde Palace for the past few days just to handle this matter?" Chu Ling smiled. "I thought I'd never see you again."

Li Zhong felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

The events that had occurred in the days since Li Zhong left Mingde Palace made him think more than once that he might die, but fortunately he was quick-witted enough to get through them without any real danger.

Li Zhong never wants to experience that again!

"Your name is Wan Qiu'er?"

While Li Zhong was pondering, Chu Ling got up and walked over. When he reached Wan Qiu'er, Chu Ling looked up at her, while Wan Qiu'er lowered her head.

"Yes."

Wan Qiu'er replied softly, but her voice carried a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

What skills do you have?

Chu Ling smiled and then said to Wan Qiu'er.

"They'll kill people!"

Wan Qiu'er lowered her head and said.

Chu Ling: "..."

Chu Ling was surprised to find that the young woman in front of him was also a beauty of unparalleled grace. Logically speaking, someone who usually served the emperor should be the delicate type, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so that she could serve him better.

Can kill people...

Chu Ling frowned as he looked Wan Qiu'er over.

"Your Majesty, a number of eunuchs serving in the imperial court need to be transferred away."

Li Zhong bowed his head and stepped forward, saying, "Tomorrow, the successor emperor will return to the Daxing Palace. Out of concern for the successor emperor's safety, the three empresses have specially ordered me to select capable people to accompany and serve the emperor."

"Have the arsonist who burned down the Daxing Palace been found?"

Chu Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Zhongdao.

"found it."

Li Zhong lowered his head and said, "They are from the Imperial Guards. According to the investigation, they harbor resentment..."

This investigation is really official.

Chu Ling chuckled inwardly. It seemed that after all this trouble, the Three Palaces hadn't found the real arsonist, but in order to quell the matter, they were pointing the finger at the Imperial Guards.

I fear that many members of the Imperial Guard will suffer undeserved misfortune.

It is true that this is Chu Ling’s first time being emperor, but he also knows that the time of power transition is bound to be the most turbulent and troublesome. After all, during this period, when the old and new powers are handed over, it is hard to guarantee that some loopholes will not appear, which will make people want to take advantage of the situation!

'So where exactly is Xia Wang in the Yu Palace?' Thinking about all this, Chu Ling became increasingly curious about Xia Wang. Such a big thing had happened, and three generations later they still hadn't found this person. This made Chu Ling think a lot.

"Why is a group of eunuchs serving the emperor being transferred away?"

Chu Ling pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Zhong and said, "With her always by my side serving me, if something like what happened before were to happen again, she can ensure my safety."

"Your Majesty, the transfer of the eunuch was precisely out of concern for your safety."

Li Zhong bowed his head and said, "The enthronement ceremony is about to begin. According to regulations, many people will participate in this ceremony, and more eunuchs will be sent. As for her, please rest assured, Your Majesty. Wan Qiu'er is very skilled. Even if ten or eight eunuchs attacked together, they might not be her match."

Chu Ling looked at Wan Qiu'er with slight surprise. Chu Ling obviously did not expect her to be so skilled. It seems that this person's background is not simple. Then, whose spy is she?
