"Something's wrong." The man in black looked at the body on the ground, which was already cold, and realized that something terrible must have happened in the dungeon.
He dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly ran down the steps. All he could see were people lying motionless on the ground.
"ah?"
He exclaimed in surprise, rushed forward and checked the breath of one of them. He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they were both alive.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, a strong smell of sleeping pills filled the air.
He dared not hesitate any longer, and left the dungeon to rush back to the palace to report the news.
Outside the Yangju Hall.
Upon seeing the visitor, Eunuch Wu wisely withdrew silently.
Those dressed in black with red stripes are the emperor's personal guards; no one knows what they are doing for the emperor.
The emperor frowned as he looked at the flustered man before him: "What happened?"
These guards had survived alongside the emperor, stepping over the corpses of millions. They had seen all sorts of dangers, and their current panic must mean something terrible had happened.
The man in black said, "The dungeon has been raided!"
"What?"
The emperor practically jumped off his throne. He walked down in a slightly flustered manner and looked at the man: "Kidnapped? Where are they? They've all been kidnapped?"
"No, one of the guards of the dungeon is dead, and the other is missing. Everyone in the dungeon has been drugged and is not in any danger."
Upon hearing this, the emperor was filled with doubt.
"Breaking into the dungeon wasn't to kidnap Ziren, was your target my personal guards?"
The man lowered his head and said, "In any case, the location of this dungeon has been exposed. To be on the safe side, I urge Your Majesty to find another place."
The emperor paced back and forth, pondered for a moment, and said, "We must find out their purpose. As for the location of the dungeon, it remains unchanged. Strengthen the security around it, and we'll catch them like turtles in a jar."
The man nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."
~~
The Three Princes' Palace.
Inside the study.
The three people, with six pairs of eyes, stared intently at the man in black on the ground, as if they wanted to bore a hole through him with their gaze.
"Are you one of the Emperor's men?"
Old Yan couldn't help but ask.
The black clothes with red patterns were just like the style of clothing worn by the emperor's personal guards in the palace.
The man was stunned for a moment, not expecting his identity to be discovered so quickly, since they always acted in a secretive and low-key manner.
As he spoke, he suddenly tried to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Their identities, once exposed, meant certain death. Whether they confessed or not, the emperor would expel them from the family.
Mu Ange reacted quickly, grabbing his chin and forcing him to open his mouth.
An Ning asked, "Are we feeding it to the Golden Toad Gu?"
Mu Ange tied a black cloth strip from his mouth all the way to the back of his head to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
"The medicinal properties of the Golden Cicada Gu cannot subdue them."
Old Yan asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Mu Ange glanced at An Ning and said, "Xiao Ning, you should go out first. This place is not suitable for a girl."
An Ning nodded. It seemed Mu Ange was about to use her ultimate move.
The door slammed shut with a click, and a moment later came the person's ear-piercing scream.
Just hearing it sent shivers down my spine. It seems that Mu Ange really did hold back when they first met.
The commotion continued until late into the night before the study finally quieted down.
An Ning peeked out and saw Chen Xun sweeping the blood out of the study with a broom.
An Ning's heart skipped a beat, and then she saw Mu Ange slowly walking out.
He exuded a strong aura of bloodlust, and his dark eyes held a coldness and ruthlessness she had never seen before.
Mu Ange lazily wiped her hands, casually tossed aside the blood-stained handkerchief, and left without looking back.
Looking at his retreating figure, An Ning finally understood: Perhaps this was the real Mu Ange, ruthless and vicious, like a demon from hell, who could do whatever he wanted without any scruples!
