Chapter 719: Chapter 719 Mourning and Conspiracy (2)_1

The maid agreed and left.

After arranging things, Madame You suddenly slumped onto the bed again.

What to do? She could feel a strong sense of crisis.

She’d lost her inheritance from the Marquis Residence and witnessed the fall of her maternal family in such a short period. She hadn’t even recovered from the shock and already felt that her own security might not be guaranteed.

Madame You was sure that if the matter of the food were exposed, the Li Family would undoubtedly sacrifice her. By that time, what would become of her two children without their mother’s protection?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, accompanied by deep fear and a sense of helplessness.

Inside the inn, Eunuch Miao and Lin Haisheng, both fuming, returned from the Wang Residence. Especially Eunuch Miao, he was not only angry but also harbored hatred for Prince Ling.

In his mind, he had even planned to complain about Chu Suifeng to the Emperor once he returned, intending to make it difficult for Chu Suifeng. But the confidential letter Chu Suifeng gave them as they left the Wang Residence was like a stroke of genius, worrying them all the way, for fear of arousing the Emperor’s suspicions.

The two little eunuchs accompanying him had not escaped his harsh treatment either.

After struggling and weighing the situation, both Eunuch Miao and Lin Haisheng couldn’t resist their curiosity; they hid in their own rooms and secretly opened the envelope.

And then there was no more ’and then’.

Because there were two letters in the envelope. The content of the first one was terrifying, all recounting the wicked deeds committed by Eunuch Miao, Lin Haisheng and their families over the years. If the Emperor were to know of these, exterminating their nine generations would still be insufficient to vent his anger.

The second letter was a straightforward warning, the main content of which was cautioning them not to distort facts in front of the Emperor once they returned to the Capital City.

Clearly, the second letter was meant to give Eunuch Miao and Lin Haisheng something to deliver in front of the Emperor.

Eunuch Miao and Lin Haisheng, having read the letters, broke into a cold sweat instantly. You can’t be a regular riverside walker without getting your feet wet. Even though eunuchs don’t have descendants, it doesn’t mean they don’t have families. Suffice to say, few people involved in the court and the harem are actually clean. Third parties may not know whether the evidence in the letter is true or false, but Eunuch Miao and Lin Haisheng, as the parties concerned, knew very well.

The two of them stood frozen for a while after reading and then swiftly burned the first letter. To avoid suspicion, Eunuch Miao faked anger and slammed the second letter onto the bed.

In the end, he cried out, instructing a waiting young eunuch to pick up the letter from the floor, "Prince Ling is going too far."

The little eunuch glanced at the contents of the letter before advising, "Eunuch, the Northern Land is Prince Ling’s fiefdom. Here, Prince Ling is the final authority, it’s pointless for us to provoke him."

"Yeah, eunuch, now that the imperial edict has been issued, it would be better for us to leave the Northern Land as soon as possible. As for whether he wishes to hand over the tribute, that’s Prince Ling’s business."

"Right, eunuch, you have his handwritten letter, even if the Emperor is angry, it has nothing to do with us."

...

Both little eunuchs were nurtured by Eunuch Miao, considered his most trusted allies. They had witnessed how Chu Suifeng dealt with Eunuch Miao and, accustomed to smooth sailing, had never encountered a demon-like adversary like Chu Suifeng.

To put it bluntly, the two were completely terrified by Chu Suifeng’s thunderous aura, fearing they might be the next ones to face misfortune.

Only by returning to Capital City from the Northern Land, could they return to a life of superior status.

"Eunuch, the doctor has arrived." A guard reported loudly from outside the door.

"Let him in," Eunuch Miao ordered, bearing the pain, "you also prepare. Pack up everything as quickly as possible, we’re leaving tomorrow."
