Chapter 272



[Emperor Chapter 24] Exposed

After Yun Wan decided to befriend Jing Chen, she began to pay more attention to him.

On weekdays, she had to follow the fifth princess, so she picked out one of the palace maids who were the spy of Weiyuan Marquis and told him to keep an eye on the Sixth Prince's every move. However, she didn't expect that this stare would reveal a problem.

The spy was a maid who had just been transferred to Qiuxi Palace. On weekdays, she was responsible for the chores in the various halls of Qiuxi Palace.

One morning, when she was cleaning the side hall where the Sixth Prince lived, she accidentally heard a faint moan. She walked in a little bravely and hid behind a tree. Not long after, she saw the Sixth Prince's personal eunuch coming out in a disheveled manner.

"I didn't expect the Sixth Prince to be so fond of that..."

The maid looked disgusted, but Yun Wan's expression did not change after hearing this.

"What can't happen in this palace?" It was just a play with the same eunuch, which was nothing to Yun Wan after she heard a lot of dirty stories about the harem from Aunt Huifei. "The Sixth Prince is exactly the same age as Mu Shaoai, and Empress Rongfei didn't assign him a concubine, so it must be that eunuch who used some tricks to seduce him..."

Yun Wan had lived in the backyard of Weiyuan Marquis Manshi's concubine since she was a child, so of course she knew the morals of men. Besides, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince all had many beauties in their backyards. If she had to choose one to bet on, the Sixth Prince, who was only playing with a little eunuch, was still a good choice.

What's more, she wants the most supreme position in the world, not a lovelorn man.

"Alright, just keep it to yourself."

Yun Wan waved away the maid, and walked towards the main hall while thinking. Rong Fei invited her and the fifth princess to have dinner together today, which is a good opportunity.

Originally, she didn't understand why Jing Chen would take the risk of exposing his scheming to retaliate against several princes and princesses because of the injury of a little eunuch. Now, after listening to the words of the maid, Yun Wan finally understood.

But this won't work. Those who accomplish great things certainly can't be greedy for the love between their children. If the Sixth Prince is always influenced by this eunuch in his decision-making, how can he go far?

Yun Wan made a decision. Since he hasn't grown up yet, she will give him a push, and he will definitely be grateful to her in the future.

Jing Chen was called to the main hall by Concubine Rong alone.

Chu Jiao was left in a side hall, tidying up the room, when suddenly the door was pushed open and two burly eunuchs came in and rushed towards her.

Although Chu Jiao still doesn't know martial arts in this world, after experiencing the passiveness in the Republic of China, she began to consciously pick up basic self-defense skills, and recently she has been learning martial arts with Jing Chen.

She bent down to avoid the attack of the two men, picked up the vase next to her and smashed it on one of them's heads.

While dodging, she was thinking about the intentions of these two people.

Jing Chen is now studying hard and keeping a low profile, so he won't get into any trouble, and she, a mere eunuch, can't bother the nobles at all. Unless...

unless their affairs are exposed.

One person was knocked unconscious by the vase, and the other eunuch grabbed her wrist with a fierce look on his face. Chu Jiao picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and cut them. Blood immediately spilled all over the ground. The man let go in pain. Chu Jiao immediately pulled down the curtain beside the bed, covered the man's face, and then grabbed the porcelain pillow and smashed it at him.

Seeing that both of them were temporarily unconscious, Chu Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the messy inner room, Chu Jiao gasped and her mind raced.

Since Concubine Rong sent Jing Chen away alone, it means that she has made up her mind to punish her, and she must not be able to wait for Jing Chen to come back. These two eunuchs were ordered to arrest her. If they don't go back to report, Concubine Rong will definitely send more people.

If the story between her and Jing Chen was really spread, it would have a great impact on Jing Chen's reputation. This must be why Rong Fei didn't want to make it public and wanted to secretly capture her.

But if she was really captured, she might not live to see the sun tomorrow.

What to do now...

Listening to the footsteps coming outside the house, Chu Jiao didn't have time to leave any more information for Jing Chen, so she opened the window and fled.
