Chapter 805 I Won’t Save You This Time (48)
Fu Shun ignored Xu Sanyang's ridicule and just waved his hand casually, signaling the servants in the room to leave.
Suddenly, there were only these two people left in the room.
Compared with Fu Shun's calmness, Xu Sanyang seemed a little panicked - he was at the mercy of others, so naturally he was afraid of death.
"Oh! Lord Xu, you've been lying down for so many days, but you're still in such high spirits. I'm so envious of you." Fu Shun said as he slowly sat down beside Xu Sanyang's bed, with a hint of hypocritical concern in his tone.
He admired the fear hidden in Xu Sanyang's eyes and a faint smile appeared on his face.
After a while, Fushun felt that the atmosphere was tense enough and started to speak.
"It's a pity that you have such good skills." Fu Shun's voice was low, with a bit of hypocritical regret in his tone, "After all, you were once the invincible hawk dog beside His Majesty. Now even if you can only lie on this bed, you are still so tough. I admire you."
"Bah! Eunuch!" Xu Sanyang spat with some bluffing, but the disgust in his eyes was real.
He once thought that Fu Shun was different from those eunuchs, at least he was loyal and had some conscience.
But now it seems that Fushun is not without selfish motives, he just hides them too well.
"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain!" Fushun sighed with emotion, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
It seemed like he was defending himself, but it seemed more like he was mocking Xu Sanyang's naivety.
"Eunuchs can be divided into good and bad ones, but I'm different—" He brushed off the non-existent wrinkles on his lapel and said with a smile, "I'm the worst of the bad guys."
Although Xu Sanyang had already witnessed Fu Shun's shamelessness, he still couldn't help being speechless when he heard him admit his despicableness so bluntly.
He opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that he didn't know what to say - if he called him "bad" again, would he just feel satisfied?
(′-﹏-`;)
"Okay, stop dithering." Fushun suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I didn't come to discuss human nature with you."
"I want to ask you for someone!" He finally told his purpose this time, "She is very useful to me now!"
Xu Sanyang was startled, but his expression did not show it at all. He didn't know who Fu Shun was looking for, but he could "respond to changes with constancy".
After all, at times like this, silence is the best response.
"Master Xu, don't think that I am betraying the emperor by doing this." Seeing that he was silent, Fu Shun continued to speak, "I am just restoring order."
His tone was firm and his expression was serious.
"Your Majesty..." Fu Shun paused here deliberately, staring at Xu Sanyang, observing his reaction, "You are not the blood of the late emperor. As the leader of the secret guards, shouldn't you be loyal to the Liang royal family?"
"What?" Xu Sanyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was filled with shock.
He never thought that Liang Song's life experience actually hid such a secret.
As the leader of the Secret Service, Xu Sanyang had been taught to be loyal to the emperor since he became a spy. But if the emperor was not a member of the Liang family...
Shouldn't this be something the late emperor should worry about? Why did he leave such an important matter to me to decide?
Wait, he seems to know too much, will he die faster? (╥﹏╥)
I don't know. He looks like a tough guy, but he's a funny guy on the inside. Fu also started to narrate Liang Song's life story.
Liang Song’s biological mother was indeed a beauty.
Because of this woman's beauty, even though she had already been engaged, she was forcibly "sent" into the palace by someone with ulterior motives.
But this road is not so easy.
A woman with no background and no backing was demoted to a palace maid by the queen after just one night of favor, and she has been silent in a corner of the palace ever since.
Moreover, there are too many "flowers" in the harem, and each one is presented to the emperor at its most beautiful time.
Liang Song's biological mother was just one of them. After blooming briefly, she was quickly forgotten by the emperor.
This was her first fall from grace! But because it didn't cause much of a stir, it was forgotten by many.
The worst thing was that she could never forget her ex-fiancé, so she didn't even think about getting close to the emperor.
The loneliness in the deep palace eventually led her to reunite with her old lover who had become a palace guard.
Until one day, her period did not come as expected.
This bold woman who was willing to do anything for "love" became afraid. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of bringing trouble to her family.
So she was eager to find the guard and discuss countermeasures - even if the guard brought her a pack of abortion pills, it would be good.
However, just as she quietly approached the side hall where the guards were resting, she heard...
"The sixteenth of next month is my wedding day. Everyone remember to come and have a drink at the wedding!" That was the voice of her lover, and there was a hint of pride and anticipation in his tone.
"Come on, it's rare for you to be so generous!" The other guards started to make a noise, their laughter full of ridicule.
"By the way, I remember you seemed to have changed your fiancée. Is the current one more beautiful than the previous one?" someone asked curiously.
"Alas! One should marry a virtuous wife. Although my future wife is not as pretty as the previous one, she will definitely be obedient." There was a hint of helplessness in the man's tone. There was helplessness in his words, but it was too much of a "trouble" directed to his former fiancée.
These few short words fell into the ears of Liang Song's biological mother, shattering all her beliefs.
The woman stood in the dark, tears silently falling.
The vows made to each other in the past now seemed like nothing more than a joke and perfunctory attitude from this man.
She didn't move forward, but wiped the tears from her face, turned around and left quickly.
That night, she "coincidentally" met the emperor who was out for a night stroll.
After the love affair, a month later, she also "had" Liang Song - a bargaining chip that could protect herself in this palace.
As for an unruly guard of commoner origin, it is common for him to break his leg and no longer be able to serve.
Of course! Humans are all emotional creatures. It is normal for a young man with a bright future to become a cripple overnight. He cannot bear the blow and commits suicide.
She couldn't do this, but her family could. After all, it would not be good if people found out that the emperor's son looked like a guard.
After listening to Fu Shun’s words, Xu Sanyang felt like he was about to “die”—he had been loyal to a guard’s son for all these years?
"No, how could you know such a secret thing? Do you have any evidence?" Xu Sanyang still felt that this matter was unbelievable.
"Fish have their own paths, shrimps have their own paths! I have been following Your Majesty since I was a child. Isn't it normal for me to know things that others don't know?" In fact, Liang Song didn't know these things. There were other people who knew these things and had evidence.
But this person is too soft-hearted!
