Chapter 1321: Residence 1321

Eunuch Li had only heard of the Gu technique before, he had never seen it with his own eyes. A few days ago, on the Emperor’s orders, he personally went to Zhao Yin’s residence to find him.

That day was just around noon, and for some reason, the house was eerily quiet, with not a single servant in sight.

Although Eunuch Li found it strange, he thought it was more urgent to find Zhao Yin and complete the Emperor’s orders, so he didn’t think much about it and searched room by room.

Nothing seemed unusual at first, but when he reached the innermost room, he heard some strange sounds from inside. Curiosity compelled him to quietly approach and peer through the crack in the door, and what he saw chilled him to the bone.

Zhao Yin was wearing black clothes, and he stood facing away from him, holding a little kid in his arms.

This little kid seemed about three years old, chubby all over. One could imagine how adorable kids are at this age.

Of course, that’s before looking at his face.

At this moment, Zhao Yin slowly raised him aloft...

Eunuch Li, standing outside the door, happened to witness this scene.

The child’s face was completely ruined, covered in wriggling worms.

The kid seemed to be in great pain but couldn’t speak, only casting a pitiful glance at Zhao Yin, his eyes conveying a plea, as if saying: Master, spare me, Master.

Yet, faced with the kid’s agonized expression, Zhao Yin showed no emotion, and even emitted a sharp laugh...

"Cackle...!"

Eunuch Li felt his skin crawl, finally understanding why Zhao Yin had asked him to capture some kids a while back. So, this was how they were used, cursed to hell, without fear of retribution.

Eunuch Li secretly pondered.

Nervousness caused him to accidentally bump the door handle, making a clanking sound.

Inside, Zhao Yin immediately became alert, carefully placing the kid down, and quickly proceeded to the door, swiftly pulling it open...

"Bang."

The door burst open, startling Eunuch Li: "Zhao... Zhao... Minister Zhao."

"Eunuch Li, what are you doing in my place?"

"The Em... Emper... Emperor summons you."

Glancing at the panicked Eunuch Li, Zhao Yin wasn’t fooled. He quickly realized that Eunuch Li had discovered his secret.

"Eunuch Li, we’re both serving the Emperor’s interests. You should know well what can and cannot be said." His tone was filled with threats.

Eunuch Li understood him perfectly.

"Minister Zhao, what exactly are you doing? What happened to these kids, why do they end up like this in your hands?"

"I’m doing this for the Emperor’s benefit."

"Bullshit, you’re doing something atrocious and trying to pin it on the Emperor."

Eunuch Li didn’t believe him and thought Zhao Yin was using the Emperor as a shield, being favored in his proximity to the throne. Day-to-day minor issues were trivial enough, but turning such adorable kids into Insect Persons, such a vile act couldn’t be blamed on the Emperor, this would surely receive divine retribution.

More so, at Zhao Yin’s request, he had captured a good dozen kids from outside and delivered them to the palace. Little did he expect that Zhao Yin, who usually seemed so genteel, would be so malevolent, refining these live children into Insect Persons. The thought made Eunuch Li tremble, finding it unbearable.

Zhao Yin let out a cold laugh: "Eunuch Li, truly naive. Haven’t you thought about how the Emperor has always wanted to kill the War Prince? Without these kids, where would the Gu insects come from?"

"What did you say? You mean those kids are used to raise Gu insects?"
