Chapter 4 Death Crisis (2)
There are internal and external troubles. No wonder the Southern Song Dynasty died so quickly back then, but it was indeed not unjust.
At this time, he heard two little eunuchs walking towards him.
Zhao Dongting closed his eyes again.
"Emperor...Emperor?"
In just a few seconds, the two little eunuchs whispered to Zhao Dongting by the bed.
Zhao Dongting slowly opened his eyes, pretended to be sleepy and said, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch on the left, who looked like a little girl, took his hands out from behind like a treasure offering, "Your Majesty, see what this is?"
In his hand, he was holding a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, yellow and orange, with a brilliant oil, emitting an attractive fragrance.
Although roast chicken is not a delicacy, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty has been running around for many years and food is naturally in short supply. It can be imagined how tempting this roast chicken will be for the original little emperor Zhao.
But the two eunuchs obviously never thought that what they were in front of them now was Zhao Dongting, who had traveled through time since nearly a thousand years later. Moreover, Zhao Dongting was still hearing the conversation between them in a daze.
He knew that this roast chicken was poisonous, so why would Zhao Dongting eat it?
But he still pretended to be very surprised and asked, "How could you two have such delicious food?"
The little eunuch holding the roast chicken chuckled and said, "This is specially prepared by the slave for the emperor to help the emperor recover the dragon body."
"Loyal! Loyal!"
Zhao Dongting nodded with certainty, and looked at the eyes of the two little eunuchs with encouragement.
The two little eunuchs laughed in their hearts, thinking that this little emperor was so naive and foolish. It seemed that he was right to rely on Lord Yang.
At this time, Zhao Dongting immediately said, "But I am not hungry at this time, so I will give you the roast chicken to you!"
The two little eunuchs were stunned for a moment.
The little eunuch on the right side had a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, this is specially prepared by the two slaves..." Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "I appreciate it, you can eat it, you can eat it!"
"Slave, I'm not hungry..." The two little eunuchs really didn't know what to say.
In the past, this little emperor always called hungry at night, but why did he suddenly change his temper this time?
“Aren’t you hungry?”
Zhao Dongting slowly chewed these two words in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "You two dare to refuse the reward I gave you?"
In ancient times, the king was the great one. Before Zhao Dongting traveled through time, he was the president and had a great majesty. He suddenly got angry and really scared the two little eunuchs.
With a thud, the little eunuch holding the roast chicken fell to the ground and almost cried out, "Master, I'm not hungry..." The little eunuch on the right also knelt down to the ground.
Zhao Dongting originally wanted to call on the guards outside the house, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
These two eunuchs obviously know something, so they have to beat them up and know who is behind the scenes who wants to harm me.
He slowly sat up from the bed, staring at the two little eunuchs with a burning look.
In the candlelight, his eyes were as cold as the Nine Netherworlds.
"This roast chicken is poisonous, isn't it?"
When the words were said, the little eunuch on the left was so scared that he even fell to the ground with the roast chicken in his hand, and immediately cried and begged for mercy.
To harm the emperor is a death sentence, which was a concept that was implanted into human bones during the Song Dynasty.
They dared to harm Zhao Dongting before, but they were lucky enough to not be discovered. Now that Zhao Dongting discovered it, they were naturally full of fear.
"Silence!"
Zhao Dongting said coldly, his eyes getting colder and colder, "Who told you to wait to harm me?
Doctor An is also the same as his party?”
The two little eunuchs knelt on the ground tremblingly and dared not speak.
Zhao Dongting said slowly: "Tell me your envoy and your accomplices, I... spare you all the time."
The little eunuch on the left looked up at Zhao Dongting, with hope in his eyes, "Emperor..." And the moment he spoke, the little eunuch on the right suddenly rushed to the edge of the bed and grabbed Zhao Dongting's neck with both hands.
His eyes were full of madness, and he said softly: "Why don't you come and help me! If you say it's dead, it's dead! Kill him! We may still live!"
The dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall.
Zhao Dongting really didn't expect that this eunuch would have such courage and quickly stretched out his legs to kick him away.
However, his body was only eleven years old and he was weak and sick all year round. He really didn't have much strength. He couldn't kick the little eunuch away even after a few kicks.
My neck was pinched tightly and I couldn't even shout it out.
The little eunuch kneeling on the ground came back to his senses, and his desire to survive covered up all his conscience and rushed to Zhao Dongting like a madman.
Zhao Dongting's face turned red and gradually became weak. He stared at his eyes and thought to himself, "Are you just dead like this?"
Naturally, he was unwilling to die just like that.
An extremely strong desire to survive emerged from the depths of his heart, which made him feel energetic again and struggled violently.
The dragon bed shaking.
Although the two little eunuchs pressed him to death, no one noticed that the bracket with an oil lamp was shaking next to the bed.
"Clang!"
Just as Zhao Dongting's eyes were gradually turning black, the oil lamp finally fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Bang!"
The door was knocked open and two guards rushed in.
“Bold!”
Seeing the two little eunuchs pounced on the dragon bed, they pulled out their shiny swords and ran towards the dragon bed.
The two of them ran to the dragon's bed and threw the two eunuchs with one hand.
"Cough! Cough!"
Zhao Dongting coughed violently, his tears were pinched out, and his eyes were still in shock.
If these two guards hadn't acted quickly, they would have died.
Seeing that the two guards were about to kill the two eunuchs, he hurriedly shouted: "Slow down!"
If these two eunuchs die, it may be much more troublesome to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Both guards cut the necks of the two little eunuchs, and hurriedly stopped, then moved quickly, and flew with both hands, and in an instant, knocking the two little eunuchs unconscious with the handle of the knife.
Zhao Dongting was stunned. This... this is a damn martial arts master! At this time, the remaining guards outside rushed in.
The leader is a military general, with a burly figure and his big eyes like a cow swept through the situation inside the house.
The two guards who knocked the eunuchs invisible bowed and said, "Mr. Deputy Head, these two eunuchs intend to murder the emperor!"
Deputy Head?
Zhao Dongting looked at the general.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the deputy head of the capital was still considered a middle- and low-level general in the personal army of the guards.
Just so happened that this pair of people looked at Zhao Dongting.
Seeing Zhao Dongting looking at him, he quickly lowered his head.
Then he walked to the two eunuchs who had fallen to the ground and asked coldly: "Is it these two?"
The two guards bowed their heads, "Yes!"
