1701 Discussion 2

No one serving at Qianqing Palace dared to utter a sound.

Eunuch De Fu was the one that defended them before, so the people at Qianqing Palace did not live a very high-risk life. However, now that De Fu was sent into prison, those minor eunuchs and maids would probably have no chance to defend themselves, even if they were sentenced to death because of a badly-served tea.

They s.h.i.+vered in terror, their legs trembling.

That had become a normal thing in Qianqing Palace.

The King had no energy to care about those people. With a sunken expression, he thought about the Shadow Door. After he got the immortal pills, he was going to get rid of the Crown Prince and then send people to dig his eighth son out. He was going to chop that son of his into eight pieces. Then, he was going to remove the Shadow Door.

That man liked wearing a mask, didn’t he? At that time, he was going to have his mask removed and exposed to the people in the capital, so that everyone would know what he looked like.

However, for now… what mattered the most was the immortal pills and the Golden Rolls.

Gu Chaoyan was still not threatened.

Good. Very good… He was going to make the worst come.

“De Fu, do something now,” the King thought it through and said subconsciously.

It was again quiet in the Qianqing Palace.

De Fu had been in prison for a long while, but it seemed that the King never remembered this. He always summoned De Fu before he realized that he was not there any longer.

Even after the reminder, the King still refused to get De Fu out of prison.

And the one who reminded him was not punished directly, but they would always be dead because of something else within a few days.

This time… no one dared to give him a reminder.

The King said annoyedly, “De Fu!”

He was just about to curse when he looked at the surroundings and failed to find that man. The King was suddenly reminded of something.

De Fu was in prison.

He glanced at the servants at Qianqing Palace.

Without saying anything more he said, “Bring Yang Xin, the Left General of the imperial army, here.”

Soon, that man arrived as he was summoned.

The King did not have patience to wait for his greeting. He said, “Guard the Jiang Family and the Lin Family’s tombs, and wait for my order.”

Yang Xin was very confused, as he looked at the King.

The tombs?

The King threw him a glare. Yang Xin stopped his curiosity, saying, “Okay.”

The King told him to go back to his orders after making the arrangements.

Then the King said to one eunuch, “Tell the Phoenix Girl that she doesn’t have to come to the court, but she should think about giving up the Golden Rolls. If she doesn’t give up the Golden Rolls, I will have those tombs dug up and the people from the Jiang Family and the Lin Family will never rest in peace. Decide by tomorrow night.”

The eunuch s.h.i.+vered, not daring to be slow about anything.

The King closed his eyes, feeling a.s.sured.

He was sure that his threat would be enough.

The eunuch hurried away and pa.s.sed by Zhou Huaijin who had just walked out of the court. He went away without stopping.

Zhou Huaijin found that something was wrong. He told the hidden guard to check out what was going on, since he saw the eunuch.

When that was done, the Right General asked Zhou Huaijin. “Head…”
