Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Eunuch Wang Ziquan felt that he had encountered the most difficult challenge in his career.

Because no one has ever had the courage to do this before.

Not to mention him, even Concubine Rong beside him was stunned.

After realizing what was happening, the eunuchs and palace maids around them knelt on the ground, their legs trembling and sweating profusely.

There was a dead silence in the air.

But Gu Shao on the side was still playing happily as if nothing had happened. Compared with others around him, he looked so comfortable.

As it happens, even if he was like this, no one dared to scold him.

In the end, Wang Ziquan didn’t even know how he walked out. He was just thinking frantically in his mind about how to report to the emperor later.

Oh my god, why did I do that just now? If I didn’t give him the pair of Qilin, wouldn’t everything be fine?

The eunuch behind him was like a mute, not daring to say a word. He almost dug out his eyes and pretended that he didn’t see it.

However, no matter how slowly they walked, the road from Qiuwu Palace to Qinzheng Palace was only so long, and Wang Ziquan and the other eunuchs still had to face reality.

After standing at the door for two full breaths, Wang Ziquan finally mustered up the courage to lift the curtain in front of him.

He can’t be slow, after all, the emperor is still waiting for him to come back and report.

As expected, Emperor Jingwen had not rested yet late into the night and was still reviewing memorials with the lights on.

Emperor Jingwen was much more diligent than the previous emperor, but also much more strict.

If it were the late emperor, Wang Ziquan might not have been so panicked.

Such a thought flashed through his mind quickly, and before Emperor Jingwen looked over, Wang Ziquan had already secretly put in his utmost effort.

The next moment, a voice followed closely –

“Has the stuff been delivered?”

Emperor Jingwen didn’t even raise his head. In his opinion, rewarding the women in the harem with some rare treasures was not a big deal.

“It’s delivered…”

Noticing the eunuch’s nervousness, Emperor Jingwen paused holding the pen and asked, “Why? The imperial concubine doesn’t like it?”

While speaking, Emperor Jingwen’s brows had already frowned quietly.

“No, no, no.” Wang Ziquan waved his hands repeatedly: “Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine liked it. The Imperial Concubine likes it very much, especially the box of pearls. The Imperial Concubine said that she will ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make some jewelry for her to wear tomorrow.”

“Oh?” Emperor Jingwen felt relieved all of a sudden, and his brows relaxed.

“What about the little Qilin? Have you told the imperial concubine? I had to find the material with great difficulty when I was the crown prince.”

The Qilin he had created had been on his desk for more than ten years.

So Emperor Jingwen wanted to give the child something precious. He heard that the child was born prematurely, so he wanted him to share in the blessing.

It would have been better if Emperor Jingwen hadn’t said anything. After he said that, Wang Ziquan’s heart suddenly tightened.

Here it comes, the biggest test is finally here!

“Hmm? Why don’t you say——”

Before Emperor Jingwen finished speaking, Wang Ziquan could no longer bear it and knelt down with a thud: “Your Majesty, that Qilin, that Qilin… fell, fell…”

Facing the gaze of Emperor Jingwen, Wang Ziquan suddenly prostrated himself on the ground.

The next moment, the emperor’s furious voice was heard –

“Bold!”

“How dare Concubine Rong disrespect the emperor!” The things bestowed by the emperor symbolize favor and glory. When you take them back, you can only keep them and never knock or bump them. If you knock or bump them, you will be beheaded, not to mention just throwing them away.

Emperor Jingwen felt his anger rising to the top of his head: “It seems that I have spoiled her too much on weekdays. Someone come!”

“Yes!”

Seeing that something serious was about to happen, Wang Ziquan spoke at the fastest speed in his life: “Your Majesty, it’s not the imperial concubine, it’s… it’s the little prince!”

Because Gu Shao is still young and has not yet been given an order of seniority, he is simply called the little prince.

Emperor Jingwen was stunned: “…You mean, it wasn’t the imperial concubine who dropped it, but the little prince?”

“Yes.” Wang Ziquan told the whole process without hesitation.

Emperor Jingwen was stunned for a moment.

If they were imperial concubines, they could be dealt with. Even if they were not imperial concubines but the eldest prince, Emperor Jingwen would definitely punish them severely.

But… the little prince is only a few days old now, what should we do?

The guards on the side waited for a long time without any follow-up, and the head guard could not help but ask tentatively: “Your Majesty, look at this… do you still want to order punishment?”

Penalty? How?

It is ridiculous to punish a child who can’t even speak.

“…No need.”

Emperor Jingwen sat down with a stern face, and no one noticed that his heart was bleeding at this moment.

There are some that are of better quality than the Qilin. He has a lot of them in his private vault.

But this Qilin is more commemorative, as it has been with him for ten whole years.

But what could Emperor Jingwen do?

Resisting the urge to vomit blood, Emperor Jingwen waved his hands to everyone: “…Everyone, please leave. Let me be quiet for a while.”

Unable to control himself, he asked again: “Did the little prince really dropped it?”

Wang Ziquan nodded: “Absolutely true.”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

In the Qiuwu Palace——

After Eunuch Wang and the others left, Concubine Rong raised her hand to spank her son: “How dare you throw anything? Do you want to die?”

The nanny beside her was shocked when she saw this: “Your Majesty, you can’t do this!”

Such a young child, it would be a shame to beat him up again.

However, Concubine Rong was just pretending and didn’t use any strength in the slap.

Sitting down on the bed, Concubine Rong looked worried: “What should I do?”

Even she should know that damaging something given by the Emperor is a grave sin.

Back then, her father received a wine cup as a gift from the late emperor, and even built a shrine to worship it. However, she and her brothers and sisters-in-law were not allowed to even look at it, let alone touch it.

But this little thing is so brave that it not only touches but also throws things down.

Now that Qiuwu Palace is in this state again, how can Concubine Rong not be worried?

Seeing this, Gu Shao on the side still showed no sign of remorse.

It’s not that he came from modern times and doesn’t know the majesty of the imperial power. The main reason is that he is just a child, and the emperor’s biological son.

No matter how petty the emperor was, he would never beat him.

Since he couldn’t hit or scold his son, the little prince, the emperor could only endure it.

What happened next was similar to what Gu Shao had guessed. The emperor didn’t say anything and there was no punishment.

It’s just that he hasn’t looked very happy since he went to court for the past few days.

Gu Shao then silently added a sentence to the label of the emperor in his heart:

He is not a tyrant who does not know right from wrong. If you are a little careful, you can bully him.

At the same time, the harem was in an uproar.
