Chapter 2679: Chapter 2679: Burn Down the Supreme Palace

Then he himself decided to go and see this magnificent scenery, rather than be trapped in the palace.

“Forget it, I’ll look at these petitions tomorrow. Let’s go to the Supreme Palace.”

He should go and see the Retired Emperor, and ask him what he thinks, now that the military weapons prepared by Dowager Consort Yu have all been confiscated.

…

In the Supreme Palace, the Retired Emperor had been confined for several days. Other than being able to bask in the sun each day, his situation was not much different from the criminals in the big prison.

That night, the Retired Emperor looked at the flickering lights in the room, wishing he could kick them over and let this fire burn down the entire Supreme Palace.

“If I burn down the Supreme Palace, then I…”

He couldn’t help but think, if he burned down the Supreme Palace, could he escape and contact his people outside?

The young eunuch who had been guarding him shivered upon hearing his words.

“Retired Emperor, it’s late, you should rest now.”

Has the Retired Emperor gone mad from being confined? He’s actually thinking about burning down the Supreme Palace.

If the Supreme Palace burns down, where will the Retired Emperor live? The Emperor certainly wouldn’t let him reside in the Regency Hall again; they would probably just stuff him into some small palace.

“Get out!”

The Retired Emperor’s grim gaze fell upon the young eunuch, uttering a curse.

Did they really think he didn’t know they were sent by that unfilial son to keep an eye on him? Because of them, he hadn’t been able to contact his people outside for days.

He wished he could have them all dragged out and beaten to death with clubs.

But in his current condition, he couldn’t achieve that.

The young eunuch, upon hearing the Retired Emperor telling him to get out, didn’t say a word, just stood silently, showing his stance.

No matter what the Retired Emperor said or how he cursed, he acted as if he didn’t hear it. His task was to watch over the Retired Emperor and prevent him from making contact with anyone outside.

Right now, the Retired Emperor was under strict surveillance. Eunuch Fu had arranged for six people to watch the Retired Emperor, assigning each person four hours.

Two people per group, alternating shifts.

But this wasn’t enough; the Retired Emperor had gone so far as to consider setting fire to the Supreme Palace.

He decided to report this to Eunuch Fu the next day. If the Retired Emperor really did something like this, it would be troublesome for all of them.

Thinking of this, he exchanged a glance with his companion, and the two of them decided to keep a closer eye on the Retired Emperor.

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to get out?”

Seeing the two young eunuchs still standing there, the Retired Emperor’s anger flared up.

These scoundrels really thought of him as a prisoner, didn’t they? Whatever that unfilial son said, they did. Did they even consider him the Retired Emperor? It was merely an empty title.

“Get out, I don’t want to see you. If you don’t get out, I will have someone behead you!”

The young eunuch twitched his mouth at these words.

With the Retired Emperor’s current state, did he even have the ability to behead them? They were sent by Eunuch Fu to watch over the Retired Emperor.

Moreover, the eunuchs and palace maids in the Supreme Palace were good at reading people; surely, they knew the Retired Emperor had already fallen from power? Who would listen to him anymore?

It was already a blessing to serve him three meals a day.

“It seems Father is doing rather well in the Supreme Palace, still so commanding in his speech.” From outside, a resonant voice reached their ears, and the two young eunuchs shivered and promptly opened the palace door.
