Chapter 453 Eunuch's Skirt 11
...
Five days later.
The night was as dark as ink, and the lights in the palace seemed even brighter in the silence.
Wei Chengyu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He knew very well that with his uncle's return, a Hongmen Banquet was about to begin.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard outside the palace gate, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Wei Chengyu's heart tightened, and he immediately stood up, put on his coat, and hurried out of the hall.
In the distance, a group of soldiers were approaching slowly. Under the light, their armors shone coldly. The general leading the group was Wei Chengyu's uncle, Wei Feng.
He was wearing a battle robe, holding a spear, and there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
With his arrival, the atmosphere in the entire court became tense.
At the same time, Li Jin's men had also arrived at Taiji Palace, and Pei Han arrived late.
Xue Yi also walked out of the hall wearing an outer coat and stood behind Wei Chengyu.
Looking at the entire Taiji Palace, several groups of people and forces are standing here.
The army led by Wei Feng stopped outside the Taiji Hall. The clanking of armor and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
The supporting faction headed by Li Jin is led by Li Jin and Pei Han, and the rest are officials and ministers valued by the late emperor.
Those headed by Wei Feng were mostly military generals with great military power but weak political influence.
The two groups formed an axis of opposition.
Wei Chengyu and Xue Yi stood right in the center of the axis, standing high up.
Ever since he found out the true intentions of Li Jin and Pei Han, Wei Chengyu always felt guilty.
But he is a stubborn man and will never apologize or bow his head because of a trace of remaining guilt.
He is the emperor, so he should always uphold the integrity of an emperor.
Wei Chengyu stood on a high place, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring closely at Wei Feng in the distance.
Li Jin stepped forward with a stern look on his face, and shouted at Wei Feng, "General Wei, you entered the palace late at night, armed, and marched straight to your Majesty's bedroom. What do you want to do?"
Wei Feng dismounted, put his hand on his spear, and lowered his head slightly, but his tone was unquestionable: "The Regent King is too serious. This general just came to see my nephew, how can he go straight to the palace? Besides, as a relative of your majesty, it is normal for me to visit the palace. The Regent King is so nervous, could it be that he has other plans?"
As he spoke, Wei Feng looked up at Wei Chengyu, with a complex look in his eyes.
His eyes seemed to be examining, and also as if he was expecting something.
Wei Chengyu's expression remained normal, but there was a subtle hint of vigilance in his eyes.
The confrontation between Li Jin and Wei Feng made the atmosphere in the entire Taiji Palace even more tense, as if it was a taut string that could break at any time.
One is the brother-in-law of the emperor and a general who has been on many battles, and the other is the regent who holds great power and controls the government. Which side should he stand on?
No one can tell.
It was just that at this moment, Wei Chengyu finally made a clear judgment based on his many years of experience in power.
The judgment on which side to stand.

I'm sorry for the sudden break in the past few days because of some things happening at home.
It's a bit difficult to say, but for some reasons, I can no longer withdraw the money I earned from writing and the royalties. Once I withdraw money, it will be deducted from the account. The thousand or so yuan that was left in the card a few days ago is gone.
I'm wondering whether I should continue writing this book.
On the one hand, this book took a long time to write, almost five months, and it has more than 900,000 words. I really don’t want to give up just like that.
But on the other hand, my financial situation is very tight now. I need a source of income. I haven't found a summer job, and I still have no money for tuition and living expenses in the second half of the year. I really don't know what to do.
The real-name ID card I have now is not my own, so the money I withdraw cannot be transferred to my account.
For some reasons, I don't have a good relationship with the person whose real name is used. After I withdraw the money, he will directly transfer the royalties away. The real name on the account cannot be modified. The book has also been signed, so...
I have been numbing myself these past few days, feeling helpless and desperate, and I don’t know what to do.
What should I do...
I have thought about opening another account and writing short stories using my own ID card.
I have also thought about changing places, changing platforms or...
It seems that I am indeed unlucky this year. I can’t just say that I am unlucky, hahaha, to avoid being a prophet, but I can only say that I am indeed unlucky.
For me, writing cannot be considered a hobby, because I don’t seem to have any particular hobbies. I also did live broadcasts before, which was almost one of my ways to make a living.
My father has been in an unstable mood these days and is not in a good state. There is often a depressing atmosphere at home. I hide in my room and don't go out. I sit in front of the computer and can't write a single word.
It seems that I can already see my narrow and gloomy life until the end.
These days, some friends have broken up and stopped contacting me. To be honest, although I'm used to being alone, I still feel lost.
My mental state is a bit bad now. I don’t know what I’m writing. It’s a mess.
In short, I was very upset and incoherent.
Sorry.
