Chapter 481 - 12.89
The following day, Huang Shu got up so early. He saw the servants were already present and busy cleaning his Palace, acting as if there was nothing strange.
Huang Shu peered his eyes and grabbed one eunuch, "Where did all of you go yesterday?"
The eunuch trembled. Truth to be told, he wouldn’t even dare to scheme against the Seventh Prince if it wasn’t his own mother, Concubine Ai, who forced him and the rest of the servants.

"Y—Your Highness, This servant doesn’t know what you’re talking about...."
Huang Shu gritted his teeth. He pulled the eunuch’s collar and asked once more, "Where. Were. You. Yesterday?"
"I—I can’t say it, Your Highness. I will get killed!" The eunuch replied ambiguously. That was the only thing he could say that might lead to what happened yesterday.
Huang Shu finally released the poor eunuch because he knew there was no way for him to extort more information since the eunuch looked so scared.

’Blood son...’
