Chapter 47 Truth 2
"Yes," Zheng Muyuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it came through amidst the sound of water splashing, exuding a strangely ominous sense of fear.
Eunuch Ho Sheng gripped Xing Yu’s arm tightly, even though he desperately wished he could suffer in place of his master at this moment, he knew better than to act rashly now.
Ho Sheng had achieved his position today, and moreover, had managed to stay by the side of the arrogant and vicious Fourth Prince for so long, thanks to his wisdom and capabilities.
After a brief period of panic, Eunuch Ho Sheng immediately calmed down. The scene before his eyes had confirmed the suspicions in his mind.
Moreover, he had learned quite a bit about the secrets of Qiandao Temple from Kang Ning. He knew exactly what Master Yin He had been doing in the shadows, how many young lives had been extinguished to keep the Second Prince alive until today. But Ho Sheng had never imagined that the Fourth Prince would also be needed for this plan.
"Why, why?" Zheng Haoyuan feared whatever was in the pool, and the sudden appearance of Zheng Muyuan only made him more frightened. He felt that all of this was related to Zheng Muyuan, but why? His second brother had always taken care of him, secretly giving him many things.
"Fourth brother, if there were another choice, your second brother would never pick you. But if your second brother doesn’t choose you, where else can I find a body with a life force so similar, and one that has been fed poison from a young age?" Zheng Muyuan said laboriously, his pale face, although delicate, was tinged with the grey-black color of death, as he slowly walked over from beside Master Yin He.
Ho Sheng shuddered, but with the groundwork laid in his heart, hearing these words directly from Zheng Muyuan’s mouth meant he didn’t have to guess any longer. The Fourth Prince was the key element in the Second Prince’s bizarre survival spells.
Ho Sheng suddenly recalled the poisonous snakes and insects that Zheng Muyuan had kept sending to the Chenhe Hall over the past two years.
