"Your Majesty, this." Quan De wanted to call out to Long Mujiang, but the words kept spinning on his lips, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Eunuch Quan, with your martial arts skills, it's impossible that you didn't detect it until the Qianqing Palace was completely flooded." After seeing Long Mujiang walk in, Meng Qi looked at Quan De suspiciously.
Everyone knows that Quan De is the most powerful warrior in the palace and is considered the real stabilizer of the palace. But in addition to this, Monkie also knows that Quan De has a little-known unique skill.
He can sense the movements of the entire palace at all times, which is why Quan De sits firmly in the palace.
"General Meng, are you saying that our family is deliberately letting it go?" Quan De snorted coldly, looking at Meng Qi with disdain. "General Meng, you should use your brain before speaking. Xu Tianze dying in this Qianqing Palace will do no good to you or me!"
Quan De of course knew why Monchi was so suspicious of him. It was because a year ago, a thief took advantage of the fact that His Majesty was not there to sneak into the palace. When he used his unique skills to search for someone, Monchi was on guard nearby.
Ever since he was exposed, Monchi has become cautious. He only reveals some information when he is not in the palace. Once he returns to the palace, Monchi never talks about secrets.
If his surveillance range was not limited to the imperial palace, but half of the capital city, he probably would not have known that Monkie had been on guard against him to this extent.
"It's true that if Xiaoze died, it would be of no benefit to either you or me." Monchi nodded, then changed the subject, "But what if Xiaoze is still alive?"
"Humph, what a joke! This Qianqing Palace, along with the two surrounding palaces, has been burning since the dark of night and has only just been destroyed. How could anyone still be alive inside?"
"General Meng had better be careful with his words, otherwise once His Majesty hears it, he will definitely think that you are an insider, and then--" Quan De smiled maliciously.
Originally, Quan De still felt a little guilty. After all, he did sense that Xu Tianze was still alive and was currently in Shangjing City, but knowing it did not mean he would say it out loud.
Sometimes the more you know, the more wary you become. Even if they are your own people, you don't want the people around you to be too outstanding, so it is most appropriate for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb now.
If it weren't for his current status that made it difficult to retreat, he might have found an excuse to leave the palace long ago, and it wouldn't matter where he lived out his retirement.
But now that Monkie has raised the question first, any problems that arise will come directly from Monkie, not him.
He didn't believe that what he said today would not reach His Majesty's ears, otherwise there would be plenty of room for arguments.
Monkie looked at the servants around him who were lowering their heads in fear, then took a step forward and walked in front of Quan De: "Eunuch Quan, do you think I am a fool?"
"General Meng is really good at playing with people's hearts. I didn't expect General Meng to be so scheming." Quan De remained calm, but his whispers were full of gritted teeth.
He was a little too proud of himself and didn't expect that he would capsize in this small ditch.
"Hahaha, you are too kind, eunuch." Monkie laughed and strode into the ruins of the Qianqing Palace.
Eunuch Quan stared at Monk's back expressionlessly. When he saw Monk enter the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he laughed disdainfully.
After all, Monkie was still too naive. He thought that the words he had just said had dragged him into the quagmire, and they deliberately moved closer to him so that people around him could not hear what they were saying.
By the time His Majesty hears about this, neither of them will be able to escape. This is indeed a good idea.
But Monkie forgot that their Majesty was not a simple man, otherwise he would not have been able to seize the throne through layer upon layer of planning and scheming.
By then, Monk will only shoot himself in the foot. He doesn't believe that Xu Tianze will burn himself to death in the Qianqing Palace. Does Your Majesty believe it?
Long Mujiang was extremely panicked when he learned that the Qianqing Palace was on fire. His Aze had lost his martial arts skills, and once he was trapped in the Qianqing Palace, there was no way he would get out.
But when he didn't see Xichen in front of the Qianqing Palace, he knew that he might have been fooled by his Aze, and then thought about what Aze said during the day.
He was certain that Aze would directly torture his mother or the palace maids around Concubine Lan. After all, Concubine Lan had been poisoned by several kinds of poison and would only die slowly.
So, he stood in front of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the fire in front of him, waiting for the palace people to report a commotion. However, as time went on, the flames in the Qianqing Palace became more and more raging, and the palaces elsewhere became more and more silent.
His heart sank as he looked at the flames that refused to retreat. He knew that he had no chance to break in and see what was going on. He could only wait numbly for the flames to subside.
And he kept telling himself in his heart that Xu Tianze couldn't have died like this, as if he had always been alive and was just creating the illusion of death.
By the time the flames really died down, the morning sun was already hanging in the sky. He walked into the dark Palace of Heavenly Purity with trepidation. When he really saw the three blackened charred corpses on the ground, he suddenly stopped.
No matter how much he doubted that Xu Tianze was not dead, when the number of corpses on the ground matched his, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"His Majesty."
"Go and take a look at those three charred corpses. Is one of them... Aze?" Long Mujiang held Monkie's arm tightly and licked his dry lips subconsciously.
When Monkie first came in, he only noticed that Long Mujiang was standing there, so he subconsciously called out "Your Majesty". However, when he followed Long Mujiang's gaze and looked at the charred corpse on the ground, his body inevitably trembled.
When he heard Long Mujiang asking him to identify the charred corpse, Meng Qi inevitably hesitated, and he suddenly lost the courage to move forward.
Because even though they had become charred corpses, judging from the shapes of the charred corpses on the ground, one of them was extremely similar to Ozawa's.
"Your Majesty, I..." didn't have the courage to look.
Monkie hesitated and stammered, refusing to take another step forward. He had thought of all the possible outcomes, but he had never thought that Xu Tianze would die.
"Go! Don't you even listen to my orders?" Long Mujiang yelled at Monkie, his bloodshot eyes looking particularly ferocious.
"Cough." Quan De, who was standing behind the two of them and watching the whole process, coughed dryly.
And rolled his eyes in his heart. It's really true that he only learned to feed the baby after the child died, and only regretted it after the person was killed. What had he done before? It was a good thing that Xu Tianze was not here, otherwise, I don't know how disgusting it would be.
There is no one around watching now, so what is the point of performing? It can't be performed for him, an old eunuch, right?
Quan De's dry cough directly attracted the attention of Long Mujiang and Monkie.
