When the subordinate heard the Master mention the word "again", he was stunned. Seeing the Master looking over, he quickly spoke up, trembling, "The cherries that were poisoned have been discovered by Fushou Junzhu."
"Didn't I say to avoid her when taking action?" The man rubbed his forehead in frustration, "This Hua Liuli is like a lucky star for the Ji family's imperial bloodline. Since her return to the capital, everything has gone wrong. No matter how perfect the plan is, once she's involved, there will be deviations."
"If that's the case... Master, why don't we kill her first?" the subordinate suggested, "She is the betrothed of the Crown Prince of Great Jin and the daughter of Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue. If she dies, Great Jin will surely fall into chaos."
"I'm afraid the people of Great Jin will go mad and take their anger out on others," the man's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal, "We've tried to harm her before, and the price was that almost all of our people stationed in the capital of Great Jin were wiped out. Even the ones sent to capture her disappeared without a trace."
"Although we were unsuccessful last time, maybe this time we will..." the subordinate hesitated.
"Can't you understand my orders?" The man's gaze turned cold, "Without my command, you are not allowed to have any thoughts of harming Hua Liuli."
"Yes..." The subordinate dared not speak further, but he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Was Fushou Junzhu really that ominous, even the Master feared her?
But she was just a frail and timid ordinary girl. If it weren't for the pampering of her parents, with her weak constitution, she wouldn't have lived to this age.
"What should we do now?" the subordinate asked anxiously, "Should we stay here?"
The man picked up the tea on the table and took a sip lightly, "Why rush?" he said calmly.
"But what about the situation in the capital?" the subordinate asked.
"Let them fight," the man said nonchalantly, "It's safer to stay here. If any of my brothers die or are maimed, it's their own bad luck. Don't blame it on me."
The subordinate felt relieved. "So, Master, you had already considered this."
The man remained silent, neither happy nor angry.
In the Chenyang Palace, the blue-clad eunuch refused to reveal anyone connected to him when questioned.
"Don't you hate the person for misleading you and putting you in this situation?" Pei Jihuai looked at the blue-clad eunuch, "If you tell us who the person is, we can help you seek revenge."
"Help me seek revenge?" The blue-clad eunuch burst into laughter, "As a castrated man, how can I dare to have the high and mighty nobles seek revenge for me?"
"Since I can't escape death, why should I reveal this person and give you peace of mind?" The blue-clad eunuch laughed maniacally, "You can continue to suspect and doubt each other, hahaha."
The people present had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
"I would love to see the expressions on your faces when you learn the truth, but unfortunately, I will die soon," the blue-clad eunuch laughed and suddenly tears streamed down his face. He wiped the corners of his eyes and grinned with satisfaction, "That person was born in the palace and grew up in the palace. Your Majesty, who do you find the most suspicious?"
Emperor Changlong looked calmly at the blue-clad eunuch and said, "Pei Jihuai, take him away."
As the officials from the Ministry of Justice were escorting him out, the blue-clad eunuch suddenly turned his head and looked at Hua Liuli, giving her a chilling smile, "You won't be able to escape either."
Before Hua Liuli could respond, Yuan Yi slapped the back of the blue-clad eunuch's head.
"What are you pretending for? Who are you trying to scare with that smile, huh?!" Yuan Yi slapped him a few more times, "Who taught you to smile so disgustingly, huh?! Huh?!"
Yuan Yi had been on the battlefield with General Wei. Her strength in slapping was greater than many men. Every blow made a dull thudding sound on the blue-clad eunuch's head.
"This young miss," Pei Jihuai couldn't help but interject, "His mind was already not quite right, and if you keep hitting him, all the water in his brain might spill out."
"I apologize, I was just too eager to protect my mistress. Please forgive me for my rudeness," Yuan Yi retracted her steel-like hand and bowed, "My mistress is delicate and easily suffers a relapse of her old ailments when frightened. After much effort, her health has improved somewhat during this time, and we cannot afford to undo that progress."
"It's alright, don't worry," the Crown Prince comforted Hua Liuli softly, showing his consideration, "As long as Gu is here, there's nothing to fear."
Seeing the maid beside Fushou Junzhu smashing the eunuch's head with her own hands, producing the effect of hitting it with a brick, Emperor Changlong couldn't help but think of Wei Mingyue. He broke out in a cold sweat on his back and glanced at the delicate Fushou Junzhu.
Fortunately, at least his daughter-in-law was gentle.
Pei Jihuai glanced at Hua Liuli, who had turned pale and looked like a startled deer, and couldn't help but recall the scene where Hua Liuli made Xie Yao go mad with fury and had her confess the whole truth. Despite her courage in going alone to the Ministry of Justice's prison and risking her life to protect the Crown Prince, she was still a timid and good girl.
The blue-clad eunuch was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. As he passed by Yunhan and the strategist in the blue robe, his pace slowed for a moment. Although his expression didn't change, Pei Jihuai was certain that he recognized these two individuals.
"The cells are full. Put him in here," Pei Jihuai pointed at Yunhan, gesturing for the jailer to lock Yunhan and the strategist in the blue robe together.
Yunhan looked somewhat frightened; he really didn't want to go over.
Unfortunately, his resistance and opposition went unnoticed. Even if they were seen, they would be ignored. The jailer dragged him as if he were dragging a dog into the cell with the strategist in the blue robe.
The vacant cell left by Yunhan became the exclusive property of the blue-clad eunuch.
The gazes of the blue-clad eunuch, Yunhan, and the strategist in the blue robe met in the air, and then they silently withdrew their gazes.
"So, I have a new neighbor?" the talkative inmate in the adjacent cell leaned against the fence enthusiastically, "Hey, buddy, with that outfit, you must have worked in the palace, right?"
The blue-clad eunuch ignored him.
"My ancestors were also high-ranking officials and even went to the palace," the talkative inmate, seeing that the blue-clad eunuch ignored him, tapped on the fence, "Tell me, is the palace really big and beautiful?"
The blue-clad eunuch glanced at him coldly. When he served as the attendant to Ying Wang, people like this inmate had never had the chance to nod and bow to him.
"Hey, buddy, what did you do to end up here?"
"Quiet," a jailer approached and tapped on the fence, "Don't make a fuss."
After speaking, the jailer glanced at the blue-clad eunuch, "His crime is much more serious than yours. He attempted to poison an imperial prince."
"Ah!" The talkative inmate quickly sat back in his place, getting closer to his cellmate, A'Da. Then he continued to talk about his ancestors' achievements.
"Shut up!" A'Da couldn't take it anymore, "Weren't you looking for someone new to talk to? Don't bother me!"
"Why would anyone else be more important to me than my cellmate?" The talkative inmate explained in a low voice, "Besides, my mother taught me from a young age not to play with fools. He's a eunuch from the palace who dared to attempt to poison an imperial prince. If that's not foolish, what is?"
A'Da's temples throbbed, "Shut up."
The biggest fool here was clearly himself.
Late at night, the prisoners in the cell had already fallen into a deep sleep. The sounds of snoring and teeth grinding filled the air. Yunhan cautiously opened his eyes and met the cold gaze of the strategist in the blue robe.
He quickly sat up, intending to kneel before the strategist in the blue robe.
The strategist in the blue robe frowned and pointed at the guard sitting at the table. He then rolled over and lay back down.
Yunhan shrank back, hugging the dirty and smelly blanket, and leaned against the corner, falling into a drowsy sleep. In the cell across from them, the talkative inmate turned over and muttered in his dreams.
A'Da, in the darkness, looked at Yunhan and the young man in the blue robe, his gaze becoming strange. It turned out that these two knew each other.
He turned to look at the talkative inmate. Because of his tossing and turning, the necklace on the talkative inmate's neck fell off, sparkling with a moist luster in the dim candlelight.
Although this talkative inmate loved to brag and tell lies, he had extracted many useful things from his words.
He mentioned that his ancestors had left him an important seal, but he was young and ignorant, so he didn't know where it had fallen.
It was rumored that when the demon concubine of the previous emperor was punished by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Changlong, a large number of gold, silver, and jewels disappeared without a trace. Many people speculated that these treasures had been hidden by the demon concubine of the previous emperor, awaiting revenge and hatred from her descendants.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't give her that chance and completely eradicated all her hopes.
Perhaps the seal mentioned by the talkative inmate was related to that batch of jewels. Understanding this, the next day when they went to the stone quarry to dig stones, A'Da only provided slight guidance, and the talkative inmate revealed the details of his childhood estate and the relatives who he still had contact with.
When they returned from the stone quarry, A'Da intentionally hit the talkative inmate's knee with a stone. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by his fall, he passed the information to a seemingly curious onlooker.
Elder Xie was held back in the capital, although he wasn't confined like Master Xie and Princess Leyang, unable to leave anywhere, he could only wander around the capital and couldn't even leave the city gates.
The information he obtained from A'Da excited him, especially when he followed the information provided by A'Da and successfully found the seal. He discovered that it was a unique symbol of a certain underground bank's distinguished guests. As a result, Elder Xie, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly felt several years younger.
As the sky began to brighten, Elder Xie, holding a wooden box containing the seal, arrived at the bank where the demon concubine's jewels were hidden.
This bank was an old establishment, but it was not prominent in the capital. No one would have expected that such a small bank would be harboring the jewels left by the demon concubine.
"Daren, are you here for retrieval, pawning, or selling?" The shopkeeper, seeing the elderly man arrive in splendid attire with his attendant, warmly greeted him, "Our shop also sells some items. If you're interested, I can personally take you upstairs to have a look."
"Do you have a bottle of 99-month-old 'Daughter's Red' wine?"
"We don't have 99-month-old 'Daughter's Red' wine, but we do have a jar of 31-year-old 'Daughter's Red' wine," the shopkeeper's smile faltered slightly, "Daren, do you want the 31-year-old 'Daughter's Red' wine or the Gold Pearl liquor?"
Elder Xie slowly made his way upstairs. With his old age, his back appeared somewhat hunched while climbing the stairs, but he still exuded an air of elegance, "I'll take the Gold Pearl liquor for nine silver coins and the 31-year-old 'Daughter's Red' for nine silver coins."
There was no one else upstairs. Elder Xie took out the seal, "I have come to retrieve something belonging to an old acquaintance."
"Daren, are you truly here to retrieve it?" The shopkeeper's smile faded.
"Yes."
"Retrieving something belonging to an old acquaintance is not easy."
"As long as the shopkeeper is willing to bring it out, I will naturally be able to retrieve it," Elder Xie placed the seal back into the wooden box, "Or perhaps, the shopkeeper is unwilling."
"Daren, you're joking. Our bank values reputation. Be it something from thirty years ago or even three hundred years ago, as long as someone comes to retrieve it, we will provide it," the shopkeeper led Elder Xie to a door, "I just have one more question to ask, sir. Are you truly here to retrieve it?"
Elder Xie's expression remained unchanged, "Open the door."
The shopkeeper smiled, bent down, and slowly pushed open the heavy carved wooden door.
The intricately carved door was perhaps rarely opened, emitting a creaking sound. Through the crack, Elder Xie saw rare ancient paintings hanging on the walls and precious jewels and jade trees.
Boxes filled with ingots were stacked in the corner, causing Elder Xie, who saw this scene, to breathe a bit heavily.
As the intricately carved door opened completely, Elder Xie suddenly widened his eyes and looked in astonishment at the person standing inside the room, "Xie Shizi, why are you here?"
Xie Shizi, with a pale expression, looked at Elder Xie, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to actually come."
Elder Xie realized something was wrong and took a few steps back, but someone blocked his retreat. He turned around and saw the Golden Armored Guards of the Eastern Palace.
"How coincidental," the Crown Prince walked out from behind the screen, looking at Elder Xie with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Gu came to the bank to check the account books, and Elder Xie is here as well?"
Elder Xie's heart pounded like a drum, "This bank..."
"Don't be mistaken. This bank was part of the dowry from Imperial Grandmother. She gave me the bank a few years ago," the Crown Prince sat on a chair made of golden nanmu wood, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his smile becoming even more gentle, "Elder Xie, what did you come here to take away?"
"Is this your scheme?!" Elder Xie shouted angrily, "You deliberately set a trap and lured me into it!"
