Even if I die in front of them, they won't make a move." Speaking of his trump card hidden among the Jinyiwei, Qian Yeming raised a satisfied smile.
"Then who informed you?" Murong Xiao didn't understand.
"This person...I have to thank you, my lady!" Looking at his puzzled wife, Qian Yeming deliberately kept her in suspense.
"Who is it?"
"You bought a rare talent with thirty thousand taels of silver—Eunuch De!"
*****************Join Hands with Each Other********************
The imperial study of the Nanyue Palace.
Emperor Dezheng was processing a mountain of memorials piled on his desk, while the Grand Chamberlain, Eunuch De, stood by, awaiting his orders. Suddenly, a figure descended from nowhere in the vast palace and knelt before Qian Yeying, startling both occupants of the imperial study.
The man was covered in blood and wrapped in thick white gauze. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Seeing the man clearly and the injuries on his body, Qian Yeming's pupils shrank slightly, and he said to his confidant, Eunuch De, who was standing beside him, "Go out and guard. Don't let anyone in."
"Yes!" Eunuch De looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He turned and left without even looking at the man.
As a slave, the reason why he was able to successfully become the confidant of the suspicious emperor was that he understood what it meant to judge the situation and how to read people's faces.
Although he was eager to know the outcome of the Jinyiwei assassination attempt, the fact that the emperor had sent him out meant that he didn't want to know. He would definitely not inquire further. After all, in this complex and bloody palace, the more you know, the faster you die.
And even if the emperor sometimes hid things from him, he could still find out.
After leaving the study, Eunuch De closed the door and stood guard outside.
Watching Eunuch De leave immediately, Emperor Dezheng's eyes flashed with satisfaction. This eunuch who followed him always knew exactly what to do and when, making him very worry-free. He was very satisfied! But the next moment, a cough brought him back to the cruel reality.
"What's going on? How powerful are the guards around him? How come so many of you Jinyiwei couldn't handle it?" Looking at the Jinyiwei covered in blood below, Emperor Dezheng's face was extremely ugly.
"I have failed in my duty. Your Majesty, please punish me."
"I don't want to hear any more nonsense. I just want to know how powerful the guards that woman assigned to her are. If we were to take action next time, how should I arrange it?"
"Your Majesty, we could have completed our mission this time, but a traitor mixed in with the Imperial Guards prevented our operation from succeeding. The Crown Prince knew when and where we would assassinate him, so he prepared a trap for us."
"What did you say?" Emperor Dezheng slammed his palm on the desk and stood up in shock, his eyes filled with uncontrollable fear and anger. The first traitor he thought of was the eunuch De who had just left.
Jinyiwei was the only team in the entire palace that absolutely belonged to him, and now, he was told that there was a traitor in this team. This was something he could not tolerate at all.
Restraining his hands from shaking with anger, Emperor Dezheng ordered in a deep voice, "Tell me the whole story from the beginning."
"Yes. After we found the Crown Prince, we learned that he had been assassinated a second time the night before we took action. If my guess is correct, the two princes must have sent assassins to kill the Crown Prince separately.
