Chapter 545

Having finished speaking, he directly began to search Prince Fusu's person.

But Prince Fusu had come in a rush, and he had nothing on him.

After searching him all over, apart from his clothes, there wasn't even a single jade pendant.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing."

Zhang Han turned his head with some confusion and said to Made Ying Zheng.

Made Ying Zheng's brows furrowed.

Ying Mo also felt a bit puzzled, and he walked toward Prince Fusu step by step.

As he drew near to Prince Fusu, he caught a faint scent.

The nose hidden beneath his mask twitched slightly.

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

"I know the reason now."

As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone's gaze shifted entirely to him.

Even Prince Fusu stared intently at this man in black.

"What exactly is the reason? I never laid a hand on this eunuch to harm him."

Prince Fusu said urgently.

"Do you often wear some kind of incense on your person?"

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

Prince Fusu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Every one of my garments is scented with incense; members of the imperial family each have their preferred scents."

Prince Fusu said honestly.

Ying Mo was aware of this point as well.

The incense that Prince Fusu could use on his person was naturally no mortal grade.

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

"The problem lies right here."

"The fragrance on your body must be able to mix with the contents of the cup to produce a deadly poison."

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

………

Ever since Prince Fusu left, Hu Hai had hurried back to his own sleeping quarters.

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

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

The people hidden outside saw the signal issued by Hu Hai and immediately relayed it to Dong Huang Taiyi here.

Upon learning that Hu Hai had succeeded on his end, Dong Huang Taiyi immediately rushed toward the Wang Fu.

On the other side.

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

"Master, someone has come."

The steward did not know what would happen tonight.

But seeing that his master had stayed up late, he could only stand guard outside Feng Quji's door.

A figure walked over from outside with hurried steps.

Upon seeing this person, Feng Quji immediately stood up from his stool.

"Is there news?"

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

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

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

The rain had slowly begun to ease at this time.

The servant behind him hurriedly held up an umbrella, blocking the raindrops falling from overhead.

Feng Quji's next plan was to go and 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 of them were to enter the imperial palace simultaneously.

If His Majesty had truly been harmed at this time, this would likely be the critical moment for them to decide the future of the imperial court tomorrow.

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

If it were confirmed that Made Ying Zheng had truly died, Dong Huang Taiyi would send out another signal.

Dong Huang Taiyi's speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the Wang Fu.

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 things were on the verge of success.

"Have your men been prepared?"

Dong Huang Taiyi's voice suddenly rang out.

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

"Did he succeed?"

Wang Ben asked anxiously.

Dong Huang Taiyi nodded lightly.

Hearing Dong Huang Taiyi's answer, Wang Ben's eyes instantly lit up.

"Let's go."

Subsequently, the two walked directly toward the backyard of the Wang Fu.

But just as Dong Huang Taiyi was about to leave, he sensed something unusual, his eyes sharpening.

"Who is it? Seeking death?"

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

A heavy muffled groan came from the mouth of that dark shadow.

Wang Ben looked toward that direction with some surprise.

Upon seeing this dark shadow, his brows 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 complexion changed immediately.

"Not good, let's go quickly."

Having said that, he walked toward the backyard with hurried steps; he had to leave this place immediately.

If his father discovered his plans, he would likely be detained directly within the Wang Fu.

Dong Huang Taiyi's icy gaze looked toward the dark shadow from before.

He had not held back when he struck.

That dark shadow was likely either dead or completely unconscious.

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

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

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

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

The dark shadow struggled to crawl up from the ground, then slowly moved closer in 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 dark shadow endured it all.

Just as he appeared near Wang Jian, 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 Master has left."
