Chapter 249

"You mean to say that there is something on him that caused that eunuch to die?"

Ying Zheng stared at Fusu for a long while before shifting his gaze back to Ying Mo.

Ying Mo stared at Fusu for a long while.

"The key point is on him; no one knows what he has on him that would cause that eunuch to die."

Ying Mo said.

"Search."

Ying Zheng said to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han immediately stood up and walked toward Fusu.

"Young Master Fusu, forgive me."

After speaking, he began to search Fusu's person directly.

But Fusu had come in a hurry and had nothing on him.

After searching him, there wasn't even a jade pendant, let alone anything else.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing."

Zhang Han turned his head in confusion and said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng's brow furrowed.

Ying Mo also felt somewhat puzzled and walked toward Fusu step by step.

Upon approaching Fusu, he smelled that faint fragrance.

The nose hidden beneath the mask twitched slightly.

When his gaze drifted to the teapot on the table, Ying Mo instantly understood.

"I know the reason now."

As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze shifted to him.

Even Fusu stared intently at this man in black.

"What is the reason? I did not plot to harm this eunuch at all."

Fusu said urgently.

"Do you often wear incense on your person?"

Ying Mo turned his head to look at Fusu, staring into his eyes as he asked.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Every piece of my clothing is scented with incense; members of the royal family each have their preferred incense."

Fusu said honestly.

Ying Mo knew this as well.

The incense that Fusu would use on his person was naturally not an ordinary item.

Perhaps the group behind this was using the fragrance on Fusu to carry out their plot.

"The problem lies here."

"The fragrance on you must be able to mix with what is in the cup to create a potent poison."

Ying Mo slowly walked back to the table and picked up a cup of tea.

After Fusu left, Huhai hurried back to his own palace.

He had to ensure that he was not at the scene when something happened to Ying Zheng.

Subsequently, a red light lit up in a corner of the imperial palace.

The people hidden outside saw the signal Huhai sent and immediately relayed it to Donghuang Taiyi.

Upon learning that Huhai had succeeded, Donghuang Taiyi immediately rushed toward the Prince's Mansion.

On the other side.

Feng Quji had not slept all night, waiting for news from the palace.

"Master, someone has come."

The butler did not know what would happen tonight.

But seeing that his master had not yet slept, he could only guard outside Feng Quji's door.

A figure walked over from outside with hurried steps.

Seeing this figure, Feng Quji immediately stood up from his stool.

"Is there news?"

"Our lord has sent word that we can prepare to act."

After the man finished speaking, Feng Quji's eyes began to flicker.

He immediately threw on a cloak and walked outside with hurried steps.

The rain had already begun to ease at this time.

The servant behind him hurriedly held up an umbrella to block the raindrops falling from above.

Feng Quji's next plan was to find Li Zhen.

Upon receiving the news from Feng Quji, Li Zhen immediately changed into his attire and set off with Feng Quji.

The two were to enter the palace together.

If His Majesty were truly harmed at this time, this would likely be the crucial moment for them to decide the future of the imperial court.

However, the two were not stupid; they did not attack immediately but waited quietly outside the palace.

If it were confirmed that Ying Zheng had truly died, Donghuang Taiyi would send another signal.

Donghuang Taiyi's speed was very fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

Wang Ben was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously, wanting to know exactly what stage things had reached.

He had gambled so much.

He absolutely could not fail when success was within reach.

"Are your men ready?"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice suddenly sounded.

Wang Ben immediately turned his head and saw Donghuang Taiyi's figure appearing outside the door.

"Did he succeed?"

Wang Ben asked anxiously.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded lightly.

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's answer, Wang Ben's eyes instantly brightened.

"Let's go."

Subsequently, the two walked directly toward the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

But just as Donghuang Taiyi was about to leave, he sensed something unusual and his eyes sharpened.

"Who goes there? Seeking death?"

He struck out with a palm, and a black shadow flew out from the darkness.

A heavy grunt came from the mouth of that black shadow.

Wang Ben looked toward that direction with some surprise.

Upon seeing this black shadow, his brow immediately furrowed.

Isn't this one of the secret guards under his father?

How could a secret guard be hiding near him?

Wang Ben's expression changed immediately.

"Not good, let's go quickly."

After speaking, he walked toward the backyard with hurried steps; he had to leave here immediately.

If his father discovered his plans, he would likely be detained directly within the Prince's Mansion.

Donghuang Taiyi's cold gaze looked toward the black shadow from before.

He had not held back in his strike.

That black shadow was likely either dead or completely unconscious.

No one had ever dared to hide near him; this person was truly seeking death.

With a cold snort, he followed behind Wang Ben toward the backyard.

The two walked toward the secret passage in the backyard, while the black shadow that had been struck down,

after lying on the ground for a long time, finally began to show signs of movement.

The black shadow struggled to crawl up from the ground and then slowly moved toward the direction of Wang Jian.

He had to report the news of the Young Master's departure to the General immediately.

Severe pain radiated from his internal organs, but the black shadow endured it all.

Just as he appeared near the residence, he was immediately discovered by the men in black following Wang Jian.

"What happened to you?"

A man in black appeared before him, his voice sounding exceptionally cold.

"Boss, the Young General has left."
