Chapter 929 It Worked (1/2)

Yun Shang had seen him the day when she moved into Weiyang Palace. When she opened the window, she saw several servants cleaning the yard. A eunuch carrying a bucket stumbled over a branch on the ground. He stumbled and spilled out most of the water in the bucket.

As a result, he was scolded by a maid in cyan for a long time. She saw the eunuch just stood there, bowed his head and said nothing. Several servants watched them, but no one helped him.

At that time, she thought that the Imperial Palace was probably the darkest place in the world as most people there were snobbish and they always bullied the good and feared the bad. At that time, she even thought of asking the eunuch to serve around her, but she gave up because she was afraid of getting into trouble as she was new there and hadn't figured out the situation.

”You said you didn't see him, but why did you know he is that person?” Yun Shang asked softly.

Qin Yi hurriedly said, ”We delivered the message Your Majesty ordered to Her Former Majesty when we sent soup to Taiji Palace. Her Former Majesty said that His Former Majesty was meeting that person in the study. But she thought it would be inappropriate for her to go to the study rashly today as she had never disturbed him before. I asked her if she had ever seen the face of the man His Majesty had met. Then Her Former Majesty drew a portrait for us. I recognized him at a glance of the portrait.”

Saying this, Qin Yi handed the portrait to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang took it over, unrolled it, and confirmed it was indeed that eunuch. She sneered in her heart and curled up her lips, ”It's really him.”

”What are you going to deal with him, Your Majesty?” Qin Yi asked softly.

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, ”It's impossible to kill him for the time being, and it's useless to kill him. Even if we kill him, Xia Huanyu will send another one. We'd better...”

Yun Shang smiled, ”We'd better put him around me and keep him within our sight. That is the best way.”

Yun Shang handed the portrait to Qin Yi, ”Dispose of it. Don't let anyone find out.”

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the window. It was windy outside. The trees in the yard rustled and shivered in the wind, many leaves falling down on the ground.

Some servants in charge of cleaning was sweeping the yard with a broom, but that eunuch was not there. Yun Shang thought he might've not come back from Taihe Palace.

Not long after, he came in from outside. As soon as seeing him, a eunuch who was cleaning the yard shouted at him and picked up the broom to hit him. The eunuch took two steps back and stumbled.
