Chapter 4 Empress Zhangsun, I'm here to serve you again!
Li Er quickly stopped Changsun Wuji!
After all, it was Li Er himself who ordered others to criticize him.
Moreover, he's currently on an incognito visit, so it would seem petty of him to hold Lin Chuan responsible at this point.
"Is this wise emperor really so incompetent?"
Finally, Li Er smiled bitterly to himself, filled with disappointment and a sigh.
Is there really no one in this world who understands the emperor's intentions?
"Actually... it's not entirely like that."
"The reason why he is considered unfilial is because Li Yuan broke his promise first. He had promised the emperor that he would make him the crown prince after the success of the campaign."
"To say it's unrighteous, even if Li Er hadn't initiated the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng would have found an opportunity to take action. They were already adversaries and there was no way to reconcile them."
"Of course, the massacre of his clan was only to completely eliminate any future troubles."
"As for taking his wife... well, men are always a little impulsive."
Lin Chuan simply shook his head, offering a clear assessment of Li Er's merits and demerits.
There has been much debate about Li Er (Li Er) throughout history.
If Li Yuan had not initially agreed to Li Er's request and had insisted on making his eldest son the crown prince, things would not have turned out this way.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Li Er's achievements were so great that he threatened the emperor's power and influence, and even Li Yuan was wary of him, he still had no intention of usurping the throne.
If Li Jiancheng hadn't made the first move, this outcome wouldn't have happened.
In general, as descendants of emperors, they were destined for greatness.
Li Jiancheng was not necessarily worse than Li Er, but he lacked that decisiveness.
"To be an emperor, one must possess both iron will and tenderness."
Lin Chuan inwardly mocked himself, realizing that his sighs were merely a means to protect himself.
He understood Li Er very well. Although Li Er seemed to have open-minded opinions, which led to Wei Zheng's constant criticism, he was actually being patient.
Once someone dies, their grave will be dug up.
He is extremely vengeful and will kill anyone who opposes him, even founding heroes.
Qin Qiong met a tragic end because he remained neutral during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, implicitly siding with Li Yuan.
"Yes! An emperor should possess both iron will and tender heart!"
Li Er slammed his hand on the board, his heart pounding with shock.
I never expected that a mere eunuch could utter such astonishing words!
People say that Emperor Yang of Sui was incompetent, tyrannical, and cruel, but who knows that he was not like that?
Just like me, how many people in the world can truly understand me?
Now, Lin Chuan is one of them.
This scene left Old Sun, who was standing nearby, dumbfounded.
He never expected that a eunuch, who was rejected and despised by everyone, could arouse the emperor's excitement.
After a while, not far from the East Market, Li Er removed the disguise from his face.
He regained his imperial majesty and became imposing.
In the distance, a group of plain-clad imperial guards surrounded them.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with Lin Chuan?"
Changsun Wuji was certain that Li Er would not harm Lin Chuan, but he still asked him.
"Let's put it aside for now!"
Li Er laughed loudly upon hearing this, waved his hand, and continued on his way.
He was in a good mood at the moment. This little eunuch was quite interesting and suited his taste.
……
The next few days were peaceful. Occasionally, people would come to the tea house to rest, and Lin Chuan also enjoyed this leisure.
Three days later, the palace officials arrived and summoned him to the palace.
Lin Chuan was excited because he knew that this was a summons from Empress Zhangsun, and he had always kept that beautiful figure in his heart.
The reason for this summons is uncertain; it may be something trivial, such as taking a bath or changing clothes.
……
Lizheng Hall.
Although Lin Chuan held a noble title, he changed his headgear when entering the palace because he was actually a eunuch serving the Empress.
Along the way through the palace, palace maids and eunuchs all cast respectful glances at Lin Chuan, showing him utmost admiration.
After all, Lin Chuan was the first person to be redeemed from the Empress's service and receive a title.
"Ogawako, you've finally arrived."
"Your medical skills far surpass those of the imperial physicians; they are utterly useless."
Empress Zhangsun smiled when she saw Lin Chuan, then frowned slightly and said...
What she said was true, because the imperial physicians either used acupuncture or gave her medicine, neither of which worked.
"Come here quickly."
Empress Zhangsun waved her hand gently.
Lin Chuan responded and happily walked forward.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all respectfully withdrew.
As the mistress of the harem, Empress Zhangsun disliked managing trivial matters, but she had to personally handle the daily chores, which left her physically and mentally exhausted.
Only Lin Chuan's technique could completely relax her.
Lin Chuan appeared extremely serious about this, trying his best to suppress his inner excitement.
He had never been castrated, and if the truth were to be accidentally revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Thai massage originates from ancient health practices, it is remarkably effective, as it incorporates the acupoint theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Ever since the Empress experienced it once, she has become deeply addicted to it.
At this moment, after Li Er finished reviewing the memorials, he came from Ganlu Hall, intending to visit Guanyinbi.
However, he was stopped by a palace maid as soon as he reached the door.
"The Queen forbids anyone from entering?"
Li Er was completely bewildered, then frowned deeply.
He already knew that Lin Chuan had been summoned to the palace and was treating Guanyinbi's health.
Although Lin Chuan was a eunuch, he still felt uneasy.
After all, Thai massage involves excessively intimate contact.
He had to find an opportunity to clearly tell Guanyinbi to restrain her behavior.
As the mother of a nation, she should maintain an appropriate distance.
"Ogawa, come here."
Just as Lin Chuan finished treating Guanyinbi and was about to leave the palace, he suddenly heard a soft, delicate voice.
He immediately looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to find that the person who called him was Princess Chang Le, Li Lizhi.
Although Li Lizhi is still young and looks like a little girl.
"What are your instructions, Princess?"
Lin Chuan immediately walked over and asked respectfully.
Li Lizhi did not answer immediately, but instead looked at him curiously.
Lin Chuan is now famous and there is a lot of controversy about him in the court, but Li Lizhi has no aversion to him.
Her mother had been treated by Lin Chuan, and because of his handsome appearance, she even developed feelings for him.
"Come for a walk with me."
Li Lizhi spoke last, her expression quite adorable.
Lin Chuan had no objection to this, because the other party was a princess, and very young.
He had no improper thoughts about Guanyinbi, but he planned to give Chang Le a try.
……
In the back garden.
The two walked side by side, and the fragrance emanating from Chang Le's body was purer and more captivating than that of Guan Yin Bi.
They crossed a stone bridge and came to a pavilion.
"Your Highness, you look somewhat haggard. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I have some medical knowledge and can diagnose you."
Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage and spoke.
Chang Le was surprised to hear this, because although Lin Chuan was a eunuch, he was a highly skilled doctor, and the rumors were not false.
In addition, given his recent health issues, Lin Chuan noticed it immediately.
Chang Le was curious about the method her mother had mentioned, so she nodded in agreement.
This made Lin Chuan very happy, because Chang Le was deeply favored by Li Er, and if he could please her, his life in the palace would be easier.
