Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the King snapped so fiercely, De Fu kneeled down directly and looked totally regretful. With tears in his eyes, he said, “Sorry, sorry, King, I lied to you!”
De Fu started to cry constantly after saying this.
De Fu had been working by the King’s side since he was a little boy. The King liked De Fu very much after he spent a few years by his side, so seeing that De Fu was devoted, the King promoted him to become the chief eunuch
De Fu was the chief of all the eunuchs, and received flattering from everyone else. Apart from the Queen, all the other princesses, including Honored Princess Jing, would have to smile at him on different occasions. De Fu was totally dominating among all the women in the court. However, no matter how prevailing he was in front of others, he was always discreet and devoted in front of the King. No matter what happened, he would always consider it from the King’s perspective.
He would even take care of the Queen, whom he disliked most of all, just because the King liked her.
Therefore, he simply could not lie to the King. The Empress Dowager told him to lie about what happened in the town, and he also thought that the Empress Dowager had made a good arrangement, thus following her order. However, after De Fu told the lie, he had not been feeling very well. He had been bothered by this the entire time and could not get over it.
That was why he had been so distracted in front of the King and kept making mistakes.
Now that he was asked, De Fu could not pretend any more. He had been feeling horrible inside, so he admitted his mistake.
Seeing that he had made the confession, the King already became half angry.
He attached great importance to De Fu, so he entrusted De Fu to do a lot of important things. He understood pretty well that no matter what De Fu did, he would always be loyal to him. That was why he felt assured.
During the past few days, he had been feeling that something was wrong with De Fu. He could not have been wrong about his feelings. Therefore, he asked him what happened and he naturally got the result.
De Fu was hiding something.
He was the King, and De Fu, who was working by his side, was always involved with some exchange of interests.
As long as De Fu did not behave over the top, the King could forgive him for anything he did. Therefore, the King was not too angry at the moment.
He looked at De Fu and asked. “So tell me, what did you lie to me about?”
De Fu kept shaking his head constantly. He was worried that the King would lose the trust in him after this incident.
That was too much of a matter. He had no idea what made him conceal the truth at that time. He had been so stupid to have concealed the truth! He should not have lied, which caused him to be so troubled at the moment.
De Fu cried. “It is about what happened in the town. I lied to you!”
The town? Well, it should be about the Queen right?
De Fu did visit the town, so what happened? Could something else have happened in the town?
The King’s expression sank. “Just tell me, what happened in the town? Who made you lie to me, the Queen, or someone else?”
De Fu shook his head.
The Queen did not have any energy left to make him tell lies!
“King, the Queen is doing very badly!”
