Chapter 3

"This is the execution of a guilty slave. Your Highness, the front is filthy. Your Highness should not go in to avoid dirtying your eyes."

This voice belonged to the second-in-command. Who could make this person receive him so respectfully?

The young man struggled to open his eyes. Against the light, he saw the slender figure of a youth gradually walk in. His voice was innocent and his expression did not change even in the face of such a tragic scene. There was naivety and cruelty.

He heard the youth say, "I want him."

Perhaps this was fate. Allowing his consciousness to sink into darkness, the young man curled his lips. He probably used up all his good luck here.

"Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules. A prince cannot have eunuchs by his side. Their bodies and minds are distorted and will affect …"

"He hasn't been executed yet. He can't be considered a eunuch, right?"

The youth looked at the second-in-command who had his head bowed and had the eunuch in charge leave. "Send someone to send him to my palace. If anyone secretly executes the person I like, I will complain to Fuhuang."

Zhou Fu said with a smile. He had never seen Emperor Zhou, but these people would not know this. Furthermore, this was requested by the legitimate son of the Imperial Palace. The Zhou Royal Family's right of inheritance was passed down to the legitimate son and not the eldest son. The court officials only recognized the prince born of the Zhou woman with the most orthodox bloodline.

Zhou Fu glanced at the young man who was awakening. His face was no longer white. It seemed to be covered by a thin layer of film. One could vaguely see the appearance of his eyes, nose, and mouth.

When the young man woke up, he was sleeping on a soft bed. The air around him was fresh. The comfortable feeling of being separated from him caused him to be dazed. Then he gradually woke up and recalled the memories before he fell asleep.

"You're awake?"

The Little Hall youth sat to the side. Seeing him wake up, his eyes curved. There was no one else around. This made the young man puzzled. Why would the attendants allow this Little Hall to be alone with a guilty slave of Ye Ting?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace," the young man said. It was this Little Hall who had ordered him to be spared the pain of execution.

"You haven't eaten for three days, so I asked someone to feed you some rice paste. If you're hungry, you can have some porridge first," Zhou Fu said to him.

After sleeping for a few hours, the young man's facial features gradually became clearer. It was already dark. The candlelight in Zhouwang Palace was limited, but Zhou Fu's palace was brightly lit.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The young man struggled to get up, but Zhou Fu stopped him from bowing.

"I went to investigate your background," Zhou Fu said straightforwardly. "You were originally a distant relative of the Zhou royal family. However, your father committed the crime of corruption. He embezzled as much as 100,000 taels of gold and silver. Later, we recovered most of it. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, your father would not be able to live, but family members would not be implicated. How did you end up in the Yeting Court?"

The young man saw that the young man had no ill intentions and was just curious. There was nothing he couldn't say about himself.

"This servant's father offended this vile person. He was wrongly accused."

The young man said, "As for why I ended up in the Yeting Court, I'm afraid it was because of this vile person."

"From now on, you can follow me." Zhou Fu nodded.

"Those who can reach into the Yeting Court are not ordinary people. This servant is afraid of implicating Your Highness."

The young man didn't know what the young man saw in him, but he desperately needed the protection of someone with power. He just didn't know which prince this prince was.

The First Prince and the Second Prince were already adults and were fighting to the death for the position of Zhou Fu in court. The Third Prince was ignorant and incompetent and had been spoiled by the Imperial Concubine since childhood. The Fourth Prince was born with a disability. This young man could be one of the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Princes.

The Sixth and Seventh Princes were inseparable. The young man sighed. Then this was probably the rumored unfavored son of the Empress.

This so-called unfavored, according to his observation, was probably a question mark.

"I won't implicate you." Zhou Fu blinked. "I've already ordered the mouth to be sealed. No one will know."

The young man smiled bitterly at the young man's naivety and didn't take his words seriously.

A mere prince without real power, not Emperor Zhou. How could those black-hearted stewards of the Yeting Court be convinced and keep their mouths shut?

He didn't know that Zhou Fu's talent skill was to make those white-faced NPCs in his camp obedient. This was the "rule" set by the Realmspirit.

"I haven't asked your name yet."

"After entering the palace, this servant's code name was Shen San. My original name was Zhao Gao. I was the son of Zhao Chuan of the Criminal Investigation Department."

"Zhao Gao?"

The Qin Dynasty's Great Eunuch Zhao Gao. He was the one who called a deer a horse.

This information automatically popped up in his mind. It must be the knowledge that Nana taught him. But what was a eunuch?

Why did he call a deer a horse? Would he be short-sighted when he got old?

Zhou Fu secretly thought. Nana gave him a lot of knowledge that he didn't have time to digest and absorb. There were many things that he couldn't understand.

As he thought, the meaning of eunuchs automatically popped up in his mind. The meaning of calling a deer a horse. Zhou Fu closed his eyes and read carefully. Suddenly, he understood.

"Your Highness, please take care of your body. It's time to sleep." Sishui softly reminded him outside the hall.

At this time, all the white-faced people around him would repeat this sentence. "Your Highness, please take care of your body. It's time to sleep."

When Zhao Gao saw everyone saying "Your Highness, please take care of your body. It's time to sleep" in unison, he also had the impulse to say it out loud. But this seemingly soft Little Hall was also quite well-behaved. He nodded seriously.

Zhou Fu guessed that this was the "alarm clock" that Nana set for him. Although Nana was asleep, she had already paved the way for him to grow up. A good child needs to sleep on time. Zhou Fu bid farewell to the young man and obediently returned to his bedroom to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Fu sadly snuggled under his blanket and sniffed. The feeling of being the only person in the world was not good at all. Without Nana by his side, he felt even more insecure. He was afraid that he would not be able to complete his mission. He was afraid that loneliness and loneliness would defeat him. In a daze, he felt a little sleepy and gradually fell asleep.

Zhou Fu was a very easy master to get along with. He did not have any special hobbies. Every day, other than studying, he would walk around and familiarize himself with the environment. Now that he had Zhao Gao by his side, Zhou Fu would take him out for a walk when he was free.

He really had a big heart. It was not the kind that cared about the world, but rather, it was the kind that was careless.

Zhao Gao originally wanted to temporarily stay by Little Hall's side and be an invisible person. Then, he would go and lay the foundation for his revenge. If he could find an opportunity to jump ship to the side of a controllable important person, it would be good for him to slander.

In the past, his father's friend, Xun Lingshu, had said that he was wise and bold, and was also good at sophistry. If he were to become an official in the imperial court in the future, he would most likely go astray.

He was born to be a crafty and sly person.

Then, Zhao Gao found that his intelligence and wisdom were completely useless. Every time he beat around the bush to give advice, Little Hall would open his clear eyes and ask him what he wanted to do and why he wanted to do it.

Just like now, he suggested going to the Western Palace to take a look. His Highness just happened to be curious about the Western Palace, wasn't he?

"Why do you want to go to the Western Palace?"

"It is said that the Western Palace is the residence of the late Emperor's many concubines. This servant is also curious and wants to follow Your Highness to find out." Zhao Gao replied.

Zhou Fu tilted his head and did not seem to be angry. "That is not what you really think. You lied to me again."

"…"

What else could Zhao Gao do? This Little Hall was a lie detector. If he didn't tell the truth, he wouldn't take him with him!

"Many women in the Western Palace spend their lives alone, but they have great power in the harem. Some of them are even the elders of the Emperor." Zhao Gao knew that if he didn't tell the truth, this Little Hall would ask him for a long, long time.

"Oh, you are still looking for a chance to jump ship." Zhou Fu suddenly realized. "But you have no other way to jump ship right now."

A soft knife was inserted into Zhao Gao's chest, dripping with blood.

Zhao Gao didn't know what to say. He couldn't describe the feeling that Zhou Fu gave him.

He didn't know that there was a word called "natural black" that could describe this feeling.

"If you take me, the palace servant beside you will roll her eyes at me again," Zhao Gao said coldly.

"Really?" As they walked, Zhou Fu turned his head and said, "Which palace servant?

I don't remember. "

"The one who washes your face every day, isn't that your personal palace servant?" Zhao Gao said in surprise.
