Chapter 1444: Become So Diligent
“How’s the person you planted in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence? Where are they now?” he asked after taking a deep breath.
“Well… Your Majesty, I lost contact with that person after the incident at the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. I’ve also sent people to search,” the chief of the shadow guards replied after some hesitation.
He knew the Emperor wanted him to silence that person, and he was prepared to do so.
However, there was no news of that person after entering the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. He even found out about Xue Yingyue’s death from other sources. He was terrified!
“What?!”
The old Emperor almost jumped out of his chair.
“What are you doing? How can your subordinates disappear like this?”
He already had a guess. Perhaps they had fallen into Qian Jiyun’s trap this time. The so-called subordinate of the chief of the shadow guards was probably someone Qian Jiyun had planted.
“I didn’t do my job well. Your Majesty, please punish—”
“That’s enough!”
Before the chief of the shadow guards could finish his sentence, the old Emperor interrupted him sternly.
“What’s the point of talking about punishments now?”
It was already too late, and that person had probably fled to an unknown place. It was pointless to hold anyone accountable now.
If it were any other time, he would definitely punish him. However, he could not do that now.
He could only suppress his anger for the time being.
“You may leave.”
“I’ll take my leave.”
The chief of the shadow guards left silently.
Just as he was leaving, the eunuch, who had been serving the Emperor, rushed in hastily.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is bad.”
“Why are you so panicked?” The Emperor frowned.
He was already in a bad mood, and this made him even angrier. But unfortunately, he did not` know who to vent his anger towards.
“Prince Zhan Yun… has entered the palace,” the eunuch said weakly to the old Emperor.
“What?!” The old Emperor jumped up from his chair.
Qian Jiyun was back at this time?
He had intended to force Qian Jiyun back by using the news of the Empress Dowager’s death and then taking the opportunity to kill him.
However, he was not prepared at all.
Qian Jiyun had already entered the palace, but he did not receive any news from Huayan Peak. It seemed like Shang Ningyi was right. His unfilial son really had some sort of relationship with Qian Jiyun.
Otherwise, how could there be no news from Fu Ming?
“Qian Jiyun! How dare he appear!”
“Your Majesty, Prince Zhan Yun should be here for the morning court assembly. Do you think…” The eunuch looked at the old emperor carefully and asked softly.
Prince Zhan Yun had entered the palace at this time. He could not understand what Prince Zhan Yun was thinking.
Did he not know that the Third Prince had been forced to flee? Most of the people in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence had left, leaving only some insignificant servants.
Why would Qian Jiyun enter the palace at this time?
Was it really for the morning court assembly? Was he joking with them? Even in the past, Qian Jiyun would only attend the morning court assembly occasionally when he was in the mood.
When did Qian Jiyun become so diligent?
The old Emperor took a deep breath.
Although they did not know what Qian Jiyun was up to, they could not let him off this time.
