Chapter 86 Confrontation
Nanmen Yu turned around, seemingly unable to believe Tan Zong’s words, his eyes filled with doubt. Zheng Haoyuan, impossible, Zheng Haoyuan doesn’t have such ability, and why would he do such a thing?
"My lord, this matter is not difficult to investigate. If the Fourth Prince failed once, he will surely try a second time. By then, we will follow him back, and a single check by my lord will reveal the truth." Tan Zong didn’t take it seriously. He had only been with his master for a few days, and in time, the master would realize their strength. It was only a matter of time; he needn’t desperately prove such intangible things.
The next day, Nanmen Yu saw a young man whose stature was almost identical to his own. What surprised him even more was that this youth’s face also closely resembled his own, at first glance.
"Don’t you bow to your master?" Tan Zong said as he walked in with the young man, who was visibly excited and immediately knelt down respectfully on the ground.
"My lord, this is Fei Yi. After changing his appearance, he looks almost identical to my lord in both appearance and stature. We can use Fei Yi to lure out the people of the Fourth Prince," Tan Zong explained.
Nanmen Yu did not want a direct confrontation with Zheng Haoyuan, but now that the other party had bullied him to this extent, he was not going to cower.
Moreover, what he wanted to know more was why Zheng Haoyuan wanted to kill him. If the other party had discovered something, then it was out of his control whether to act or not.
Nanmen Yu nodded.
...
The sky was murky, and the plum rain season dragged its sticky moisture across the entire Imperial Palace. Eunuch Cang Er anxiously paced outside the hall, while intermittent sounds of porcelain smashing onto the ground and Zheng Haoyuan’s low growling voice suppressed with anger emanated from inside.
"Clang clang clang—" The loud noise caused Cang Er’s legs to give out. The group of eunuchs and palace maids behind him had already lost their wits and stared at Cang Er with desperation. At this moment, Cang Er was their pillar of strength.
