Chapter 601: Chapter 603, A Hint
Yangxin Hall
The Emperor knew the moment Yun Jinnian entered the palace that Yun Jinnian had returned.
"There are many skilled experts around Han Residence, we cannot get close, but when Fourth Miss returned, there were four highly skilled Hidden Guards secretly protecting her!"
The Emperor fell silent upon hearing this.
Should he get those four people out of the palace, or should he let them stay?
"What about the Empress?"
"The Empress Dowager said she was feeling unwell, so the Empress went to Cining Palace!"
The Emperor waved his hand, ultimately allowing the four Hidden Guards to stay.
When the great hall had emptied, the Emperor finally closed his eyes, and after a while, called out, "Someone come!"
Eunuch Hai immediately entered the bedroom, "Your Majesty!"
"That..."
The Emperor hesitated for a moment.
He was somewhat impatient about this matter.
But when Le Xun entered the palace, she was still a virgin, and the pleasure was truly exquisite, he really didn’t want to execute her.
Eunuch Hai was astute, immediately understanding why the Emperor was hesitating to speak, so he said, "Your Majesty?"
Every Emperor does not wish for their thoughts to be thoroughly understood by others, and Eunuch Hai knew this, so even though he was clear about what the Emperor wanted to ask, he pretended not to know.
The Emperor hesitated once again.
After a short moment, he finally said, "That woman..."
Eunuch Hai pretended to suddenly understand, "Your Majesty can rest assured, this servant has already hidden her away, no one knows where!"
"You servant!" The Emperor reprimanded.
But that was the end of it.
He nevertheless agreed with what Eunuch Hai had done.
Eunuch Hai hurriedly knelt down, "This servant deserves to die for taking liberties with my duties, please spare me, Your Majesty!"
"Enough, leave!"
No matter what, Eunuch Hai had taken the blame, and the Emperor did not kill him, showing great understanding and kindness.
"Yes!"
Eunuch Hai knew in his heart that Le Xun might soar to great heights in the future.
Leaving Yangxin Hall, he went to check on the abandoned palace. At that time, he had just tossed the person along with the brocade blanket aside and did not care whether she lived or died, but now it would not do.
Upon arriving at the abandoned palace, Le Xun was still wrapped in the blanket, asleep. Eunuch Hai frowned slightly and instructed someone to take Le Xun and the blanket away.
Throughout it all, Le Xun never woke up.
Eunuch Hai thought about the two palace maids who had been executed in public by him and furrowed his brows.
A face, a body, had fought for their own life and a splendid future.
"Eunuch..." a young eunuch called out softly.
Eunuch Hai looked at the young eunuch, "What is it?"
"Eunuch, look!" said the young eunuch, pointing to the ground.
The young eunuch was Eunuch Hai’s confidante; he had been in charge of cleaning up after the Emperor had favored a concubine, and he knew the ins and outs of cleaning up the filth very well.
Eunuch Hai followed the direction and frowned deeply, "Could it be..."
Had someone been here?
But in this harem, apart from the Imperial Guards patrolling, there shouldn’t be any men!
"Should I go check it out now?" asked the young eunuch.
"There’s no need for now. That person is audacious; it seems they have some status and background. Since they’ve done such a thing, they are likely keeping a close watch as well. If you were discovered while investigating, even your life couldn’t be preserved. Pretend as if you know nothing!" Eunuch Hai instructed quietly.
The young eunuch thought about it and agreed.
He was just a little eunuch, and if things went wrong, his life would not be guaranteed.
"Thank you for the guidance, Eunuch!"
Eunuch Hai laughed, "Go now. From now on, you will serve by the side of this little master; be careful!"
The young eunuch’s eyes lit up, but then, thinking of something, they dimmed again.
This was clearly not a good place to be!
Deputy Eunuch laughed, unable to resist, "I’m giving you a clear path, young man!"
"Thank you, Eunuch!"
Eunuch Hai laughed, then leaned in close to the young eunuch, "Weiyang Palace, Fourth Miss Yun!"
