Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

"Mr. Shen, this is Eunuch Ma, the manager of the palace. You two have a chat first.

I’ll make a trip to the Imperial Kitchen to see if there are any newly made pastries."

At the early stage of the Spiritual Harmony Realm, which is the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm in strength.

Seeing Eunuch Ma approaching, Shen Han immediately discerned his power level.

On the other side, the Second Prince rose and left the courtyard.

Although not very favored, he did not need to fetch two plates of pastries himself.

In fact, he mainly wanted to give Shen Han and Eunuch Ma a space for conversation.

"Sir, you should not be a person from our Great Yu Country, right?

A peak Spirit God Realm expert with a bit of fame, this old servant is aware of."

Eunuch Ma’s demeanor was very humble.

In front of Shen Han, he still referred to himself as a servant.

"As you said, I am not a person from Great Yu.

The reason for wanting to approach His Highness is still to seek the qualification to visit Immortal Tianheng’s Residence."

Shen Han was very frank, without any intention of concealment.

What he sought, he stated directly at the beginning.

Hearing this, Eunuch Ma couldn’t help but look at Shen Han.

"The Eldest Princess and the Eldest Prince, even if you rely on them to gain an important position, this quota is indeed hard to fall on your head.

From this point of view, coming to find Rongxing is a wise choice.

However, this step might be very difficult.

It may even cost you your life."

Eunuch Ma’s expression was serious, and his voice was not sharp, unlike the stereotype of eunuchs.

"The path of cultivation is far more dangerous than this, hesitating before and after, I’m afraid nothing will be accomplished."

After Shen Han said this, Eunuch Ma’s face clearly had a few more smiles.

"Mr. Shen’s words are indeed invigorating.

Only hope that this old servant did not mistake the person, you are not sent by the Eldest Princess or the Eldest Prince."

Eunuch Ma said jokingly.

Hearing these words, Shen Han could feel the unease in his heart.

More or less, there were still some concerns.

"Before Mr. Shen came, you must have heard some rumors, right.

In the capital, they all say behind the Second Prince stands this old servant.

In those words, there’s bound to be talk of this old servant bringing calamity to the country."

Looking at Eunuch Ma, Shen Han wasn’t overly concerned and directly asked.

"Does Eunuch support the Second Prince as the people say, wanting to support a puppet?"

At this question, Eunuch Ma couldn’t help but chuckle.

"The common folk listen to too many operas and start taking them seriously.

Governing a country isn’t that leisurely, this old servant firstly doesn’t have those abilities, and secondly doesn’t want to find troublesome tasks for myself.

Mr. Shen speaks directly, this old servant doesn’t want to speak in circles either."

Hearing Eunuch Ma say this, Shen Han couldn’t help but ask further.

"Then what is Eunuch Ma seeking by supporting the Second Prince?"

This question truly had no cover-up.

"Saying it out loud, perhaps no one would believe it, this old servant does these things for the prosperity of the country and peace of the nation."

When the words fell, seeing the doubt on Shen Han’s face, Eunuch Ma continued.

"When this old servant was young, I was the most handsome young man in our village; at that time, life felt sweet, like drinking a mouthful of river water...

But at fourteen, Great Yu fell into chaos.

In turbulent times, a person’s life is not as good as a dog’s in prosperous times, this old servant was lucky to even enter the capital as a eunuch.

The others probably starved to death long ago..."

Eunuch Ma stood up and took a few steps in the courtyard.

"With this old servant’s body incomplete and facing great disaster, I don’t want the future generations of Great Yu to undergo such suffering again.

If the Second Prince ascends, he can greatly avoid turmoil.

Moreover, the Second Prince promised this old servant, if he ascends, the palace will no longer recruit eunuchs.

No more future boys will suffer this humiliating penalty."

Shen Han’s eyes showed a sliver of seriousness.

Though he had thought through many possibilities, he didn’t expect Eunuch Ma to say such words.

The appearance of eunuchs actually stems from the Emperor’s need within the dynasty.

The Emperor needs some people who can’t build their own forces, have no descendants, only to rely on the King.

Meanwhile, some palace affairs require men, removing their roots to prevent palace chaos.

The appearance of eunuchs has its reasons.

But it does indeed result in many living tragic lives.

"People like us live as servants all our lives, we just hope fewer people will follow our footsteps."

The words from Eunuch Ma truly surprised Shen Han.

It really doesn’t fit the fixed impression of eunuchs as a group.

Shen Han did not continue to probe; whether Eunuch Ma truly possesses such character cannot be determined from his words, one must see his actions.

However, one does indeed get slightly influenced by bias, instinctively also feeling this eunuch wants to control the court.

The two of them sat down and continued talking.

Behind the Eldest Princess and the Eldest Prince, there are noble clan interests pushing from behind.

Whichever of the two ascends means a purging of the opposing forces.

The Second Prince doesn’t need to, he only needs to continue balancing Yu Country’s domestic powers like the Old Monarch.

It is precisely for this reason that Eunuch Ma chose to stand behind the Second Prince.

"The Sovereign is now clinging to life, watching this final storm.

Everyone else believes the Second Prince is hopeless, but in fact, we still have a chance.

At that time, someone from Meihua Tower will come to witness, the position of the Sovereign is still uncertain."

After the two said all that needed to be said, Eunuch Ma finally called the Second Prince in.

And informed him of Shen Han’s request.
