Chapter 1344: Chapter 1344: Going to Zongrenfu

It’s also good to send them away, the Emperor is the Emperor of Zhuzhao Country, but he is also a father.

No matter what the mothers of the princes and princesses have done, the Emperor will do his utmost to protect those children, just like with Prince Qin. If he really can’t keep them, he will still preserve their ranks. When people mention the Ninth Princess, they will know that there were also the Eighth Princess and the Seventh Princess before her.

After serving the Emperor to rest, Eunuch Wan quickly packed his things and secretly went to the Zongrenfu.

Silver notes sufficient for their lifetime needs, that’s the Emperor’s private money.

There was also a handwritten letter from the Emperor.

In the dead of night, the gatekeepers were shocked when they saw Eunuch Wan coming.

As they were about to greet him, Eunuch Wan gestured for them to be silent.

“Quickly open the door, go to King Jin’s place.”

The gatekeepers were taken aback, opening the door while quietly asking, “Eunuch Wan, has something happened?”

Eunuch Wan glared coldly at them and snorted, “Today’s events must not be leaked in the slightest. The Emperor is merciful and doesn’t want to use murder to silence to keep the secret, do you understand?”

The gatekeepers were almost scared to death by Eunuch Wan’s words and dared not ask any more questions, silently following behind Eunuch Wan, accepting whatever he said.

“We will keep our mouths shut, Eunuch Wan, please rest assured. You have not come here tonight, nothing has happened tonight.”

“Hmm, not bad, you boys are quite sensible,” Eunuch Wan replied with satisfaction.

“Lead the way, to the yard where King Jin lives.”

Passing through several corridors, they arrived at a less dilapidated courtyard deep within the Zongrenfu, which was considered a higher-class courtyard in this place, and where King Jin was confined.

The gatekeepers took out the key and unlocked it, gesturing for Eunuch Wan to enter.

Eunuch Wan lifted his head, speaking in a low voice to the gatekeepers, “I will go in, you stand guard here, be alert, and do not let anyone discover.”

The gatekeepers nodded and said with servility, “Rest assured, we are vigilant and will ensure Eunuch Wan’s tasks are handled perfectly.”

Eunuch Wan flicked the speaker’s head and said, “Wrong, it’s not for me, it’s for the Emperor.”

“Ah, yes, I spoke wrongly, it’s for the Emperor, for the Emperor.”

Only then did Eunuch Wan nod in satisfaction and entered the desolate courtyard.

Tonight, the moon was dark, and the wind was high. Eunuch Wan held only a small guiding lamp in his hand. He carried the small lamp to the eaves, gently knocking on the door, and soon King Jin’s voice came through. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N()velFire.net

Eunuch Wan did not respond but continued to knock on the door.

Lin Qianqing nudged King Jin and said, “Cousin, go and take a look. It’s so late, yet somebody is knocking on the door.”

Indeed, no one would come knocking at such an abandoned place at this hour, those who could enter must have used a key, who would come knocking late at night at a ‘discarded one’s’ door?

King Jin got out of bed impatiently and replied, “Stop knocking, I’m coming, I’m coming.”

He quickly put on his clothes, got out of bed, and opened the door, only to see Eunuch Wan wearing a black cloak.

He was utterly surprised, “Eunuch Wan, why have you come?”

Could it be Father… he didn’t want to think any further.

Things had reached this point, he was already quite resigned, they could do as they pleased, whether to kill or release him, he didn’t care anymore.

He said, “Eunuch Wan, please come in first, the room is simple, make yourself comfortable.”
