    “…,.Don’t cry.”

    As soon as these two words came out of her mouth, the girl cried harder and harder.It’s strange to say that she’s not particularly aggrieved, but the more he coaxes her, the more uncomfortable Yao Ji feels.

    – It was just silent tears at first, but gradually turned into sobbing like a child. The girl grabbed Liu Chenzhou’s sleeves and cried so hard. Liu Chenzhou gently hugged her with one hand, trying to press her head to his chest, but he was worried that his robe was covered with blood, and he became more and more at a loss.

    “I, I…you, don’t cry…,, don’t cry…,”

    He was the only word he tossed around, his brows were furrowed, and there was both annoyance and unconcealable pity in his eyes.

    She showed her vulnerability in front of him only twice.But every time, it was he who made she cry.

    “Yao Yao…” The suppressed impulse surged from her chest, and her voice was hoarse. When the words reached her lips, she was still choked.

    “It’s not that you don’t like me, right?” Yao Ji raised her head and looked at him with her tear-stained face, as if she was determined and pleading, “I don’t need you to respond, you just need to tell me that you don’t hate me.”

    Just this is enough, she doesn’t even want equal love, it’s enough as long as he doesn’t push her away.

    Just such words made Liu Chenzhou’s heart feel more and more like a knife, as if there was an invisible big hand tugging at his internal organs. His body was soaked in the cold pool, and memories flooded up from the deepest darkness.

    “…I’m not worthy of you,” he whispered, “Yao Yao, it’s me… I’m not qualified to be with you.”

    The secret file full of boxes was placed in front of Yao Ji. She was stunned and found that there were a second box and a third box….

    “So many?”

    Wu Ping stood by and said in a calm voice: “Reporting to your Majesty, Hong Bao had a total of fifty-three disciples when he was alive. All the secret files of all of them are here.”

    “Fifty-three…” Then she will see the Year of the Monkey go by, and this matter is also very strange. It is common for eunuchs to accept disciples, but how can anyone accept so many disciples?

    Muttering in her heart, she said casually: “Where are these fifty-three people, except you three, working now?”

    Wu Ping paused, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, he raised his eyes and said: “Except for Eunuch Liu and me, the other fifty-one people… are all dead.”

    Among these fifty-one people, only Chen Huai lived until the emperor ascended the throne.

    They all entered the palace when they were eleven or twelve years old. After two or three years of instruction, they were sent to serve the late emperor, and then died within a few years.

    The names on the secret file were densely packed, and all the ink marks, without exception, only had two words: “ill.”

    Only when she saw the words “Lingchi execution”, Yao Ji paused: “Why was this Ning Yuan sentenced to death?”

    “I don’t know because I haven’t entered the palace at that time,” Wu Ping said. “I just heard that he offended the late emperor, and when he was executed that day…, the late emperor ordered that all the servants must be present to watch the execution.”

    Yao Ji felt her whole body tremble at the simple words. She could guess what a cruel scene it was just by imagining it.

    It was the sixth year of Yangshuo at that time, and Liu Chenzhou had been in the palace for several years. He and Ning Yuan were senior brothers. Seeing the tragic death of his senior brother, what kind of memories would be left for he, who was still a child at that time.

    Taking a deep breath, she felt that she had vaguely touched the truth, but she did not have the courage to continue to explore: “…Wuping, did all your senior brothers really die of illness?”

    Wu Ping smiled faintly: “In the eyes of the master, the lives of the slaves are no different than that of grass. The master said they died of illness, so naturally they died of illness.”

    Her hands trembled, and she closed the secret door gently: “You…are just like Chen Huai, and Liu Chenzhou. You three are all the same.”

    She has always wondered how Liu Chenzhou kept his treacherous secret in the palace for more than ten years.Now that he is in power, he can do it easily, but he was still a child when he entered the palace.

    He can escape for a while, but cannot hide for more than ten years.Then, there is only one reasonable explanation.

    The reason why he was able to keep his body as a man and to keep this secret from being discovered was because to the so-called master, this secret was not a secret at all.

    Of the fifty-three young men, the first fifty were all sent to serve the late emperor, and then died one after another.The queen once said something when she was crazy, “If it weren’t for the late emperor who made him become like this, or if it weren’t for us, father and son, we are two beasts.” One beast had a perverted sexual habit of watching live erotica, and the other beast had done something to even make his son become such a twisted look.

    Involuntarily, Yao Ji remembered a description she had seen in the notes of a contemporary, “Since the Jingren dynasty, the trend of lucky men has gradually become more and more popular, and many of them have engaged in child prostitution, and all kinds of obscene behaviors are countless.”

    For a king of a country, this is definitely an unacceptable habit of courtiers, so the late emperor ordered Hong Bao to select handsome young men to pretend to be eunuchs and send them to the palace. After being taught the rules for a few years, they were sent to the Qingsi Hall to serve.

    Few of the people who serve him have lived for more than three years. Thinking of the young men who were named as having died of illness one after another, Yao Ji felt her whole body trembling: “Beast… What a beast…”

    She couldn’t imagine what Liu Chenzhou had experienced back then, the whip marks on his body, the extremely familiar training methods, and how green he was when he kissed her… He pushed her away again and again, never showing his emotions in front of others, maybe because he was afraid and disgusted.

    Before I knew it, my vision was blurred.Wu Ping saw that her hands were trembling, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but somehow she calmed down.

    he It has been a long time since I stopped thinking about what happened ten years ago. “Empress,” Wu Ping said gently, “Shen Zhou and Chen Huai and I are the luckiest of all. We are the youngest. By the time we could be sent to the late emperor, the late emperor had already passed away.”

    So they escaped and became the only survivors among the fifty-three teenagers.

    But is this really luck? Even if he doesn’t have to be tortured by a beast as good as Long Yang, how can the emperor who ascends the throne be any better than his father?

    “We are voluntary,” Wu Ping smiled, “Chen Huai said this is a kind of revenge.”

    Although the emperor’s hobby was to watch his women and other men perform live sex acts, he never knew until his death that he was just a clown who could be manipulated by those eunuchs whom he never paid attention to.

    It’s just that this so-called revenge eventually became Chen Huai’s reminder. Liu Chenzhou was not involved from the beginning and repeatedly warned them not to reveal his biggest secret, but Chen Huai still failed to do it.

    —— He fell in love with the imperial concubine, and the secret was no longer a secret. After the imperial concubine became pregnant, he was even more willing to commit suicide in order to protect the unborn child.

    When the person dies, the secret is no longer in danger of being revealed.
