Shen Yijia stayed silent.
The chatterbox waited for a while. Seeing that his companion did not speak, he could only say, "I’ve never seen him before."
After the palace maids and eunuchs found out that the imperial guards were searching, they had long hidden as far away as possible. How could they dare to approach them?
The eunuch sized up the two of them strangely, his gaze especially lingering on the place where the chatterbox was. "May I know what you’re doing?"
The chatterbox immediately acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He said angrily, "Do we have to report to you when we do things? Tell me, are you complicit in the old prince’s crime and deliberately came to ask for information?"
These eunuchs did not seem to have any status, but they were the most vengeful. Not only were their work relationships complicated, but if they were lucky, they could serve their masters directly. The imperial guards liked to stay in one’s own lane, mind one’s own business, and were unwilling to easily become enemies with them.
The eunuch choked and smiled awkwardly. "I’m just concerned. Princess Linghui was pushed into the pond by a thief and is still waiting for me to capture that thief. I won’t disturb you."
In other words, they were here to work for Princess Linghui, not an accomplice of an assassin.
The chatterbox snorted arrogantly and did not speak.
