Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Eunuch Hai’s Good Intentions (1)

  In the study room of the Prince's Mansion, Shang Wuxin leaned back in a chair, while Steward Hai knelt on the ground. He did not know why the Prince had suddenly summoned him, and the Prince did not say a word when he came. He could not guess what the Prince was thinking now, but Steward Hai looked at the lonely Prince and felt that he was even more pitiful than when he cried before.

  "Get up!" Shang Wuxin opened his eyes and pointed at the chair in the study and said to Manager Hai, "Sit down!"

  "Old slave..." Chief Steward Hai wanted to refuse. He was not only a slave but also a eunuch. How could he be qualified to sit with his master? And his master was still so kind. Thinking of this, Chief Steward's eyes became slightly moist. Even if the prince was a demon who killed people without blinking an eye, he was still kind in Chief Steward Hai's eyes.

  "Sit down!" Shang Wuxin said lazily. In recent days, she has been practicing martial arts day and night. Not only has she integrated the martial arts of her original body into her own body, but she has also practiced the most domineering martial arts of her previous life's Shang family. Now her martial arts are very strong. Although she is not among the best, she has few rivals. However, what makes Shang Wuxin a little helpless is that the poison of her previous life is a big problem. Moreover, the poison of her previous life was present at birth and brought from her mother's womb. Her mother, Queen Qiu, died of the poison.

  Shang Wuxin knew that she had to detoxify, but fortunately this poison would not take effect immediately and would take some time, so she didn't need to be too anxious. Moreover, the poison had been suppressed by her martial arts. Although it was somewhat harmful to the body and might be very dangerous when it took effect, Shang Wuxin didn't think it mattered.

  Eunuch Hai was sitting there, but he was very nervous, but his eyes were full of satisfaction, just like a father. Shang Wuxin was also more patient and tolerant towards this Eunuch Hai. In a sense, this Eunuch Hai was loyal, and Shang Wuxin needed such a loyal person around him.

  "Eunuch Hai, you are an elder by my side. Today I want to ask you, have you hidden anything from me?" Shang Wuxin looked at Eunuch Hai's eyes, which were narrowed only by a slit because of his fatness, and were filled with a weird look.

  Eunuch Hai knelt on the ground as if he had gotten down from a chair, and said in a nervous voice, "Prince... everything I have done is for your good. I will never do anything to harm you!" He knew that the prince was too smart, but he did not expect him to be so smart. But whether such smartness was good or bad, Eunuch Hai was worried.

  "Speak!" Shang Wuxin was not moved at all by Eunuch Hai's words. Loyalty is fine, but self-righteous loyalty is betrayal, and what she needs is not self-righteousness!

  "The Queen had a group of very loyal servants when she was alive. After the Queen passed away, I gathered those servants together privately and trained them for a long time. I thought that if something happened to the Prince in the court in the future, there would be someone to protect him if he escaped!" Eunuch Hai said while crying.

  Shang Wuxin felt somewhat relieved for her predecessor. In such a situation, there was actually such a person who could plan for her so many years ago. It must be said that Shang Wuxin was once happy.

  "Replace all the servants and guards in the mansion with our own people. Since we have raised and trained them for so many years, it's time for them to do their best!" Shang Wuxin's mouth curled up into a smile.

  She didn't have to worry about these people's loyalty, because they were originally favored by the queen mother, and later taught and trained by Eunuch Hai for such a long time, so there was no doubt about their loyalty. And now was the time to use people. Although her people had been well trained, they were still far from her standards. Eunuch Hai solved one of her problems.
