Chapter 221: Dai Qianyi
Seeing how nervous the younger eunuch was, the older eunuch said, "Speak quickly. I’m almost dying from curiosity."
After calming down, the younger eunuch said, "Those imperial guards were here to monitor us."
When the older eunuch heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, "Why?"
The young eunuch said, "Because, in Junshi Xianhe Hall, Duan Qinwang rebelled but failed. Now, the news of Duan Qinwang’s rebellion has spread in the imperial palace and the imperial capital city. Everyone knows that if you don’t want to be implicated, it’s better to stay away from the Duan Qinwang’s Mansion and our Ci Ning Palace."
The older eunuch didn’t understand why they were implicated and asked, "Why do they also want to stay away from Ci Ning Palace?"
Seeing his ignorance, the younger eunuch shook his head and said, "Don’t you know that Duan Qinwang is a frequent visitor to Ci Ning Palace? In one month, he visited Huang Tai Hou more times than his wife. There are also rumors that Duan Qinwang actually has that kind of relationship with Huang Tai Hou."
The two of them have worked in the back palace since they were children, and both know the dark side of the women in the back palace. Due to their loneliness, they occasionally have secret relationships with guards or eunuchs to satisfy their physical and mental needs. Therefore, when the older eunuch heard this, his face turned pale.
He panicked and asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
The younger eunuch shook his head and said, "What can we do? All we can do is pray that Duan Qinwang’s rebellion will not implicate us and that the Emperor will have mercy for us."
