Chapter 460: The Tragedy of Being Fallen
Chapter 460: The Tragedy of Being Fallen
Several young eunuchs carried Leng Xian forward.
The wooden board under Leng Xian was too narrow, and it was hard to keep balance when he lifted it up...
They had only walked a few dozen meters when one of them failed to coordinate properly and the wooden board flipped sideways, pinning Leng Xian face down on the cold and hard palace road.
Leng Xian was totally unprepared, and he just felt a shake, which startled him so much that he opened his eyes instantly...
The moment he opened his eyes, Leng Xian saw the world suddenly turn upside down!
Before Leng Xian could react, he had already thrown himself into the arms of the earth with great piety and kissed the cold and hard palace path!
Several little prisoners couldn't help but let out a few screams, accompanied by a muffled groan from Leng Xian...
"My Lord, please forgive me!
Lord Leng...
Are you...are you okay?
I'm really sorry... I'm sorry, it's our fault that we didn't lift it firmly!
The slaves are guilty!
Lord Leng...
Lord Leng? "
These young eunuchs were also startled...
They actually...actually threw Qinxing Hou Leng Xian down!
Several people were stunned!
Seeing Leng Xian lying on the ground motionless, several people were also terrified...
After all, even if the Marquis Qinxing’s mansion was robbed;
Even if Marquis Qinxing was fined and punished by the Emperor...
But... as long as he is not dismissed from office, Marquis Qinxing is still the marquis!
They threw the Marquis down... this... this...
Several people couldn't help but panic. After a moment of shock, they rushed forward and helped Leng Xian up from the ground.
When they lifted him up, they saw a horrible face...
Leng Xian’s face was originally bruised, swollen and crooked;
Now, there are two flowing red lines under my nose... uh... it's a nosebleed!
The blood from his nose flowed across his lips and jaw, staining the blue shirt on his chest.
Under the nose...
My lips...seem to be broken and bleeding...
The young eunuchs prayed secretly: I hope the Marquis’ teeth are okay!
As for the bleeding wound on his forehead... it looked like it was newly added...
Not only did he injure the Marquis, he also made him bleed...
Now, aren’t they guilty of a serious crime?
A young eunuch tremblingly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and put it over Leng Xian's nose.
The young eunuch originally wanted to stop Leng Xian's bleeding;
But as soon as he covered her with the handkerchief, he heard Leng Xian's uncontrollable cry of pain...
It seems that Leng Xian's nose must have been seriously injured.
The young eunuch realized that he had done something bad with good intentions and got into trouble again, so he knelt down on the spot in panic, "Lord Leng... Lord Leng, please forgive me!
I was too heavy-handed!
Lord, please spare my life!
Please forgive me, my Lord!"
The other young eunuchs looked at each other, all of them panicking and at a loss, unable to figure out what to do.
Leng Xian endured the pain and raised his hand to cover his nose with the handkerchief.
But this fall did bring back some sanity.
Leng Xian also understood that he was in bad luck at the moment and could not act like a marquis for the time being.
Besides, these young eunuchs are all from the palace after all.
As a marquis with no power, it would be better for me not to offend them now.
Even if he wanted to deal with them, he had to wait until the emperor and he really became relatives;
When his daughter really married into Prince Yu's palace;
When I really become the father-in-law of Prince Yu, Taishan...
By then, won't these dogs be at your disposal?
As for now, it’s better to have less trouble than more.
It would be better to use this incident to demonstrate your tolerance and magnanimity.
Thinking of this, Leng Xian put away the hatred and cruelty in his eyes, endured the pain from his nose and mouth, and said in a somewhat unclear voice: "Young eunuch, please get up quickly.
I know that the eunuch has good intentions, so how can I blame you?"
Leng Xian finished speaking, and then looked at the other eunuchs, “I will not blame you either.
I just fainted for a moment, and you carried me out of kindness.
This Lord understands, and will not pursue your guilt.
You don’t have to panic!”
When the eunuchs heard Leng Xian say that he would not pursue the matter, they felt relieved and hurriedly bowed and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Leng!
Thank you, Lord Leng!
The servants really didn’t mean it!
However, we did accidentally drop the Marquis and cause him to be injured. It is our fault!"
The older eunuch stepped forward and said, "The Marquis suddenly fainted just now, and we servants saw it... We originally thought that we should find something suitable to carry the Marquis to the Golden Throne Hall, so that he would not miss the morning court again!"
The eunuch deliberately emphasized the words "I missed the morning court again", which was obviously intended to remind Leng Xian...
You have missed the morning court twice;
I have been punished twice by the Emperor;
Both punishments are recorded!
We are helping you out of kindness!
Leng Xian heard this and understood in his heart——
That’s right, I’ve missed the morning court twice;
Today, I entered the palace to attend court in accordance with the emperor's oral order.
If I miss it again...
As the saying goes, nothing happens in threes.
If I make a mistake again today, there's no guarantee that the Emperor won't get really angry!
If the emperor thinks that he has repeatedly disrespected the emperor and challenged the royal majesty...
For the sake of the royal family's reputation, can the emperor continue to be tolerant of himself?
From this point of view, I should not blame these servants, but thank them instead.
Thinking of this, Leng Xian actually thanked the young eunuchs.
The young eunuchs felt relieved.
But, cold...
Leng Xian felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express himself.
The older eunuch looked in the direction of the Golden Throne Hall and stepped forward to remind Leng Xian, "Excuse me, Lord Leng, the time for court is approaching, are you...are you going to continue to rest here?
Or...or will your servants help you rush to the throne room?
Oh, and also, I saw the Marquis fainted just now, and I have sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to get a physician for you.
The imperial physician should be here soon to diagnose and treat the Marquis' injuries.
You see..."
Having said this, the eunuch looked up at Leng Xian, waiting for Leng Xian to speak.
Leng Xian knew, of course, that he couldn't miss the morning court again today!
If we make another mistake today, we will be suspected of disobeying the emperor's order.
It is a serious crime to disobey the order!
Leng Xian understood the seriousness of the matter and was about to say, "Of course I have to go to court."
But before Leng Xian could finish his words, he heard the sound of a golden bell, followed by the sound of bells and drums...
The emperor is attending court!
