Chapter 254 The Great Eunuch Zhao

Of course, Xia Sheng had met Eunuch Zhao, and he met him twice.

The first time was when the Qin family was competing, Eunuch Zhao came to watch the ceremony on behalf of Emperor Jin, and sat on the main stage and on the lower head of Qin Xiaohua.

The second time was during the Spring and Autumn Academy recruitment. Although Xia Sheng did not welcome the arrival of Eunuch Zhao and other distinguished guests at the front of the academy with Tang Zi'an, after the formation of guarding the mountain was opened, Xia Sheng was summoned by His Majesty, and Eunuch Zhao stood behind the old emperor at that time.

But it was not until this moment that Xia Sheng finally knew that the old eunuch favored by the current emperor was originally named Zhao.

Speaking of Eunuch Zhao, it can indeed be regarded as a legend in the imperial palace forbidden courtyard.

Legend has it that he entered the palace at the age of three. At first, he was just an inconspicuous little guy in the imperial kitchen. For some reason, Jindi, who was still a prince at that time, was so beautiful that he was asked to be with him as a companion.

At that time, this nameless eunuch really soared into the sky.

But who would have thought that this was just the beginning.

Later, when Emperor Jin was twenty years old, he went to Luyuan to hunt and was almost injured by a crazy white ape. The one who saved his life at a critical moment was the little eunuch.

So since then, there was a missing companion to Emperor Jin, and there was an eunuch in front of the hall in the Golden Palace.

Later, with Emperor Gaozong's death during the Northern Expedition and Emperor Jin ascended the throne, the little eunuch who had always been called "Agui" finally had a real surname, and it was the most prominent surname in the Dajin Dynasty.

It is more expensive than the surname of Jiuji.

People began to call him "Eunuch Zhao", and this Eunuch Zhao was finally promoted to the position of eunuch leader and ruled over the daily affairs of the entire palace.

To this day, I have served Emperor Jin for nearly two hundred years.

Even if we add all the years that Xia Sheng lived in the ninth generation, we will not live long enough to be this Eunuch Zhao!

And this also shows at least one problem.

This Eunuch Zhao is definitely a real practitioner!

This matter does sound a bit incredible. It is difficult for ordinary people to embark on a long road of cultivation, let alone a eunuch with physical defects?

But Eunuch Zhao did it.

Although no one knows what level of Eunuch Zhao is, whether it is a martial arts or spiritual cultivation, or in other words, those who have seen Eunuch Zhao take action have died, no one dares to underestimate this loyal slave who has been with Emperor Jin for many years.

It is said that practice is the time to practice. For example, if Qin Xiaohua, the ancestor of the Qin family, really talks about talent, it may be less than one thousandth of that of Xia Sheng. But he lived 218 years old, which is longer than most people in this world, and his strength and realm are naturally higher than most people in this world.

What's more, Eunuch Zhao has been with the king for two hundred years and has all the cultivation resources of the entire Dajin Dynasty. No matter how talented he is, even if he only relies on the treasures of heaven and earth to pile up, it is enough to build a powerful emperor!

However, anyone familiar with Eunuch Zhao knows that this is actually a very easy-going old man. He always has a warm smile on his face. He neither bullies others as an emperor's servant nor condescending as a powerful practitioner.

For example, when Eunuch Zhao saw Qin Xiaohua and Xia Sheng, he was happy on his face and said repeatedly: "Oh, isn't this Lord Qin and Lord Xiaoxia? I've paid tribute to you both."

Qin Xiaohua seemed to be in a good mood at this moment, and replied with a smile: "Okay, Agui, I'm still so irresistible in front of me, so I'm exempted from gifts."

Eunuch Zhao's eyes were filled with joy. He walked up to him and held Qin Xiaohua's arm, and smiled and said, "You are really. If you are tired of walking, call me. Look, I'm tired of our Lord Xiao Xia. Come on, let me carry you away and let Mr. Xiao Xia take a break..."

For some reason, at this moment, Xia Sheng instinctively wanted to avoid Eunuch Zhao's thin palm. But he still couldn't hide.

It was not because Eunuch Zhao's hand was too fast, but because Qin Xiaohua had a trace of dark force on Xia Sheng's waist, which made his body stagnate.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Sheng heard Qin Xiaohua make a sarcasm from her mouth.

"Go, I'm not that old yet. I'm just having fun with Lord Xiao Xia. Don't hurt you later. I can't explain it to His Majesty."

After the words came, Eunuch Zhao also retracted his hand and then asked with a smile: "Oh, look at me, a fool. Lord Qin entered the palace this time to see him? If things are delayed, the emperor will not be able to avoid the old slave. Then the old slave should take the two of you there?"

Qin Xiaohua smiled and shook her head: "It's not that I can't find a place. Look at the food box you carry in your hand. I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen. You're busy with yourselves. Wait until you're finished talking to His Majesty, let's talk about it carefully."

Eunuch Zhao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "That's good, then the old slave will not delay the two adults and will take his leave first."

Hearing this, Xia Sheng nodded slightly, until he watched Eunuch Zhao disappear in front of him, then lowered his voice and said to Qin Xiaohuaruo with deep meaning: "This Eunuch Zhao is not simple..."

Qin Xiaohua ignored this, but solemnly told Xia Sheng something.

"No matter what happens in the future, no matter whether you will participate in the party struggles, you only need to remember one thing. This Eunuch Zhao cannot be bribed by anyone, nor can he be biased towards any camp. He will always be His Majesty's current person, remember!"

Xia Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, but this place was not a Shantang or Lao Di Teahouse, so it was inconvenient to say a lot, so he just nodded slightly: "I understand."

After Eunuch Zhao's delay, Xia Sheng seemed unhurried, not just because he lacked awe of Emperor Jin, but because Qin Xiaohua immediately explained to him: "Don't be so anxious, Your Majesty knows that I'm walking slowly."

Xia Sheng thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so he was not so urgent. Anyway, if he had gone too early, he would have to wait for Emperor Jin to come back from the Eastern Palace.

For Xia Sheng, it would be better to look at more flowers and plants in this forbidden garden of the palace.

But no matter how slow Qin Xiaohua walked, there would always be a time to finish this journey to the Imperial Study Room.

Ten feet away from the Imperial Study Room, Xia Sheng had already put Qin Xiaohua down from his back. The two of them walked forward slowly in steps that were not much faster than the snail.

But he never thought that as soon as Xia Sheng had just walked to the gate of the imperial study room, he met a young man blocking the road.

He saluted him respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Sir."

Xia Sheng had never seen this person before, but he knew who he was at the first time, so he smiled and raised his hand and said something to Qin Xiaohua.

In the life of Prince Zhao Haoyu, he still remembered what Xia Sheng said until the last moment before his death.

Even if that sentence is actually for Qin Xiaohua to hear.

Xia Sheng said: "Old Qin, this is the person who wanted to kill me in Guihua Lane that day."
