Chapter 1271: Chapter 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.

Watching Eunuch An retreating, the Emperor narrowed his eyes.

This incident had been discovered by the twins. If the twins, out of curiosity, had barged into the palace hall, the group of palace maids and eunuchs following them would inevitably have entered as well...

By then, he, as the Emperor cuckolded by his own son, would be bound and humiliated in front of the entire nation.

First came his sixtieth birthday, when the second and fifth princes schemed for the throne, exposing their feral ambitions; now the eldest had disregarded propriety and filial piety, causing scandal in the palace.

Marvelous, truly marvelous sons he had!

Just as the Emperor was fuming, the twins arrived.

"Grandfather Emperor!"

The twins, having changed clothes and noticing it was getting late, came as usual to accompany the Emperor for dinner.

Seeing the twins, the Emperor quickly suppressed his anger.

If not for the twins being clever enough to immediately report the matter to him, he, the supreme ruler, would have been utterly disgraced.

"What made you decide to play so far away today?"

Without a second thought, Daomang replied, "It was Sixth Brother who took us there."

A sharp glint flashed in the Emperor’s eyes—Sixth Brother, Imperial Consort Shu...

Daomang then asked, "Grandfather Emperor, did you rescue them?"

The Emperor’s expression shifted slightly, but he smiled and nodded. "Yes, they were rescued."

If the Crown Prince and Consort Li’s affair were made public, the Crown Prince would undoubtedly face death. Now that the matter was suppressed, how to deal with it depended entirely on the Emperor’s mood.

After all, he was his own flesh and blood. No matter how furious he was, he couldn’t easily bring himself to make the decision to kill the Crown Prince.

...

Changchun Palace.

Imperial Consort Shu had been monitoring Qianqing Palace, and as night began to fall, there was still no news at all, causing a faint unease in her heart.

Was something not proceeding smoothly?

Mokuan had successfully taken the twins away, so logically, it shouldn’t be this way!

Could there have been trouble with the Crown Prince and Consort Li’s side?

If so, the next attempt to deal with the Crown Prince would not be as easy.

Just then, the palace maid she sent out to gather information returned. "Your Grace, all is normal in Qianqing Palace. The Emperor is dining with Princess Chun’an and Crown Prince Moyan."

Imperial Consort Shu frowned deeply. "Continue keeping an eye on Qianqing Palace."

The palace maid retreated but returned shortly after. "Your Grace, the Crown Prince has left the palace."
