Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Is Eleventh Lord here?"

Zu An put his mask back on, made sure there was nothing wrong with him, and then went out. He saw a plump eunuch standing at the door and hurriedly bowed and said, "So it's Eunuch Wen."

"You're too kind, Eleventh Lord." Eunuch Wen's eyes were practically disappearing with a smile. This new top-ranking envoy was indeed polite and pleasing to the eye. "His Majesty requests that you come to the Imperial Study."

Zu An's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they were asking about the results of his investigation? But only about a day had passed; how could it be so fast?

He remained expressionless: "Okay, I'll go in and get my badge first."

Eunuch Wen smiled and nodded. As long as he wasn't running away, he could afford to wait a while to get something.

After entering the room, Zu'an pretended to look for his waist token on the bed while using his spiritual energy to tell Yun Jianyue.

“I heard everything.” Yun Jianyue paused, then added, “Be careful.”

Upon hearing her words, Zu An raised an eyebrow, his eyes brightening slightly. It seemed that all the goodwill he had cultivated over the past few days hadn't been in vain; she had even learned to care about people.

After closing the door, she followed Eunuch Wen to the Imperial Study. On the way, she secretly slipped him a jade bracelet, which was a gift from the Crown Princess: "I wonder what business Your Majesty has with me?"

Eunuch Wen sighed, "Eleventh Lord, you're making me make a mistake."

Despite saying this, he discreetly tucked the item into his sleeve before saying, "What does His Majesty want with you, sir? How dare we servants presume to guess His Majesty's intentions? It's just that His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today. Oh, by the way, it seems the Left Guard General is also in the Imperial Study."

As the emperor's personal eunuch, how could he possibly be kept in the dark about the slightest thing happening in the palace? He knew everything about the earlier conflict between Cheng Xiong and him, as well as the Crown Princess's arrival to help him out.

The reason she was willing to accept his gift was not because she thought he was polite, but because the Crown Princess thought highly of him, and Cheng Xiong was a member of the Prince of Qi's faction. That's why she spoke up to remind him, in order to make a good relationship.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wen." Zu An's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, it's that Cheng Xiong again. He's really like a persistent ghost. I wonder what kind of trouble he's caused this time.

He even worried whether he would be able to leave the Imperial Study alive. Hmph, at worst he could just call out "Jianlai" again and try his luck.

With this thought, his chaotic heart gradually calmed down.
