The entire Imperial Garden was instantly illuminated.
"Speak! Who sent you?" Emperor Yuanwu sat in the center of the Imperial Garden, glaring angrily at the dozen or so men in black kneeling below.
Oh no, they're going to commit suicide.
With a thought from Mu Qianqian.
Lu Zhaofeng gave the order.
A dozen men in black were simultaneously grabbed by the cheeks by their bodyguards.
The guards took out a poison pill from each of their mouths, one that they hadn't yet bitten open.
The man in black kneeling on the ground was dumbfounded.
How is that possible?
This medicine is hidden under the most concealed part of the tongue, and a gentle bite can kill instantly.
How did they know?
They have poison in their mouths.
Could it be that someone betrayed them?
The leader of the men in black fixed his gaze on a spot not far away.
Consort Liang was sitting next to the Empress at this moment.
When she saw the man in black being captured and looking in their direction, she was so frightened that she smashed the teacup in her hand.
Emperor Yuanwu seemed to have understood all of this.
His eyes darkened, and he said to the leader of the men in black, "If you are willing to reveal the mastermind behind this now, I may spare your life."
The man in black scoffed, "Even if you spare our lives, I'm afraid some people won't want us to live on in this world."
"Oh?" Emperor Yuanwu said meaningfully, drawing out his words, "According to you, there really is a mastermind behind this."
"You are the Emperor, and we are merely servants acting on orders. You naturally don't need to play word games with us, like 'maybe spare my life'?"
The man in black sneered.
"Will you spare my life, or spare ours?"
"Perhaps that means even if I reveal the mastermind behind it all, you can still find out everything and then kill us to silence us."
As Emperor Yuanwu listened to the man in black, his eyes deepened, eventually merging with the entire night sky, becoming unfathomably deep.
"Are you trying to negotiate with me?"
"I wouldn't dare." The man in black sneered, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, you may kill me or torture me as you please."
【Frog Fun!】
[Such arrogance.]
[They've already been caught, and their suicide attempt failed, so why are they still calling for help?]
Emperor Yuanwu listened to Mu Qianqian's heartfelt words.
The gloom in his eyes dissipated considerably in an instant.
At that very moment.
The Empress Dowager walked over from a distance from one side of the Imperial Garden.
The man in black's eyes widened in shock when he saw who it was.
how……
He looked at the woman standing outside the sedan chair with some disbelief.
Aside from the purple hairpin in their hair, the woman and the Empress Dowager were identical in every way, from their figures to everything else.
Hairpin.
It's this purple hairpin.
Someone just told him that seeing a purple hairpin is like seeing the Empress Dowager.
turn out to be……
It turns out that Emperor Yuanwu had already grasped everything.
He thought he was in control of the whole situation, but little did he know that they had already fallen into someone else's trap.
The man in black looked up and laughed self-deprecatingly.
At that very moment.
A seven-colored bird flew over from a distance.
It flew to the top of the man in black and hovered there for a moment.
It looked like something was thrown into the man in black's mouth.
Suddenly.
The man in black was clutching his own neck with both hands, his body bent over.
It was as if they were undergoing a painful torture.
His face turned a deep purplish-red, and large beads of sweat rolled rapidly down his forehead.
The man in black pointed in the direction of the Queen: "It was her, she sent us..."
