Chapter 1271 - 1080, Quietly Resolving
"Speak, what happened?"
The Emperor dismissed the ministers, then stared coldly at Eunuch An.
Eunuch An fell heavily to his knees, his body trembling slightly. "The Crown Prince... and Consort Li were secretly meeting in the abandoned Xian’an Palace..."
The latter half of the sentence, Eunuch An wouldn’t dare say even if it cost him his life.
Seeing Eunuch An’s demeanor, the Emperor understood something. Instantly, his face darkened, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked harshly, "How many people know?"
Cold sweat poured down Eunuch An’s face, his voice trembling. "Only this old servant and Little Xiazi, Little Xizi entered the hall. The others were outside the hall."
At this moment, Eunuch An was utterly despairing. The sight of those intertwined bodies previously made him wish he’d never been born with eyes.
Witnessing such a thing, even though he’d served the Emperor his entire life, he couldn’t be certain whether the Emperor might spare his life.
The Emperor’s gaze revealed a murderous intent. He looked at Eunuch An, kneeling on the ground with his now-white hair, and paused for a moment. "Dispose of everyone who knows the truth."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch An almost collapsed from relief. The Emperor was entrusting him with handling the matter, which meant it seemed the Emperor still intended to keep him in service.
"Yes, this old servant will handle it immediately."
Eunuch An rose to his feet, his hands and feet weak.
