713: Prince Dabao, Throw Down A Gauntlet (1)

Prince Dabao, Throw Down A Gauntlet (1)

Eunuch Li's actions made everyone gasp. At that time, everyone was kneeling, and no one expected such a change.1

Dabao was kidnapped while he was beside the censor. The censor blamed himself to death. How could he have been a step slower and let His Highness be imprisoned?

This could not be blamed on the censor. He was just a civil servant. Normal people could not react faster than him under such circumstances.

Of course, the most infuriating thing was still this eunuch. There had always been competition in the royal court, and the Inheritance War had never stopped. But no matter what, he shouldn't implicate innocent children.

Moreover, it was such an adorable child.

When Dabao's beloved paper was snatched away, he was so aggrieved that he pouted and cried. However, when he was really kidnapped by evil people, he showed unprecedented calmness.

He did not cry or make a fuss, nor did he move around. He just obediently stayed in Eunuch Li's arms. Otherwise, why would they say that he was from the royal family? This calm bearing was definitely not something ordinary children could have.

Dabao's reaction made many ministers heave a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, they hated this shameless servant even more!

He could actually do this to such a young child. His conscience had really been eaten by a dog!

Eunuch Li was the Empress's subordinate. His actions even caused the Empress to be scolded by the ministers. If it was only the three dukes who suspected the Empress just now, and most of them were still at a skeptical stage, then at this moment, everyone firmly believed the Empress's crime.

Colluding with the rebels, bringing disaster to the Imperial Court, and obscene court. In his opinion, such things could never happen to the Empress. Now that there was no need for evidence, they believed it!

The Empress had really been tricked by Eunuch Li. She had never thought that she would use Dabao to escape. It was true that she had committed sins, but she had no choice. In her heart, she still wanted to be a good Empress Dowager. How could she kidnap a child in front of so many people?

The Empress pinched the space between her eyebrows and turned to look at Eunuch Li. "Li Yu! Put him down!"

Eunuch Li said seriously, "Your Majesty! We can't let you go! If we let him go, you'll be dead meat! They'll capture you and send you to prison. His Majesty has been infected with an evil illness and can't deal with the court. If you fall into the hands of the Eldest Princess, do you think you still have a life?"

The Empress's heart skipped a beat.

That's right. If she fell, this group of ministers would definitely change sides. In view of what she had done to the Eldest Princess, she had no chance of survival at all.

There was also Yan'er and her two children.

Yan'er had snatched Prince Yan away, and Prince Yan was the Eldest Princess's in-law. With this relationship, it was hard to guarantee that the Eldest Princess would not avenge Prince Yan. At that time, Yan'er and her two children would not be able to be saved.

The Empress's expression became conflicted.

"Empress! Don't be stubborn!" The censor advised.

The Empress's eyes moved, and a trace of hesitation appeared. "Eunuch Li…"

Eunuch Li gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty! Today, no matter how wrong I am, it's all my fault! It has nothing to do with you! I can't bear to see you suffer injustice! That's why I came up with this bad plan. When the time is right, Your Majesty, you will have new evidence to prove your innocence. I won't have any regrets even if I die!"

Aiyaya, listen to this. Eunuch Wang was about to vomit. It was a done deal, but he could still lie through his teeth. Why wasn't he a swindler with this ability!

The Empress was finally convinced by Eunuch Li. She gave up resisting.

Eunuch Li threatened, "All of you, move aside! Prepare a carriage. No one is allowed to follow me! Don't try to ambush me. I have poison under my nails and accidentally cut His Highness. You'll regret it!"

The imperial guards, who had originally planned to ambush him, did not dare to move. They could not bet the Little Highness's life.

The Little Highness was the Emperor's favorite descendant. The Emperor had once brought him to court, sat on the throne, and even gave him the heirloom seal. If they caused anything to happen to the Little Highness, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The imperial guards made way and prepared a carriage for Eunuch Li and the Emperor.

"Wait, what if Li'er comes over later?" The Empress grabbed Eunuch Li's wrist.

Eunuch Li said, "The Commandery Prince isn't even here yet. I don't think he can come. Moreover, the throne room has caused such a big commotion that the Commandery Prince will receive the news soon. He has nothing to do with this. Your Majesty, don't worry. Hurry up and get into the carriage."

The Empress nodded in shock.

After a while, she grabbed Eunuch Li's hand again. "Yan'er, she…"
