e cried herself dry. She stares blankly at the coffin, her entire being seeming to have lost all its vitality and spirit.Besides Mu Yinghua who knelt closest to the coffin, there was a row upon row of...230,000 taels!
This is a silver note that Li Yang obtained, which was the money earned from the eunuchs secretly selling palace treasures.
But looking at the silver note in his hand, Zhang Liyang's face was still extremely grim, because these over 200,000 taels were all that remained after this group of eunuchs had gambled.
According to their own account, they had earned nearly two million taels of silver, and then almost lost everything in gambling!
"Good, very good!" Zhang Liyang's face was ashen as he looked at the eunuchs kneeling before him. "You really have such guts!"
"Master, please spare my life!"
Looking at the group of people crying and wailing, Zhang Liyang felt no pity whatsoever.
What one sows, one reaps!
As hands waved, several figures in black attire walked out from the palace gates. With impassive faces, they dragged all the kneeling eunuchs inside the palace away.
As for those honest maidservants, Zhang Liyang didn't move them. However, this scene also frightened them so much that they shivered all over.
From now on, don't take things that you shouldn't. Remember that, okay
"Yes, Lord Administrator, I remember,"
Waving his hand to dismiss the maids, Zhang Liyang's mind raced as he pondered the whereabouts of these items. In the end, despite a fleeting thought of revenge, he decided against it.
After all, he was a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. At the end of the day, he was taking things that belonged to their own family. Even if punished, at most he would be scolded a few times without any real pain. Afterwards, he would still have to endure the revenge of a prince. It wasn't worth it.
Shaking his head, Zhang Liyang continued to stay in Yuqing Palace, waiting for Feng Zhen's summons.
In the end, Feng Zhen did not get what she was waiting for, but instead met someone she didn't want to see.
"The Fifth Prince is looking for me" Zhang Liyang looked at the eunuch in front of him in surprise.
"Yes." Estimated to be growing up beside Mu Zhan and influenced by him, this eunuch arrogantly held his nose in the air and looked at Zhang Liyang, "Get lost with me."
May I ask, Your Highness, what brings you to me
"Be bold!" The eunuch opposite Zhang Liyang heard his words and was immediately furious. His orchid finger pointed straight at Zhang Liyang, "It's your good fortune that the prince called for you. Where did so many useless words come from!"
"Good fortune" Zhang Liyang glanced at the several guards standing outside the door. They had come with this eunuch, and it was obvious that they were not here to protect him.
"Are you leaving"
Seeing the eunuch motion for the guards, Zhang Liyang felt utterly helpless inside, but he could only nod in agreement. "I'm going!"
This is inside the imperial palace. Eunuchs have the lowest status here. If this were in Fei Long City, Zhang Liyang could make this eunuch disappear a hundred different ways, but that's not possible here!
"Mu Zhan came to find me, it must be because of last time. This trip will either end with him humiliating me or I could lose my life!"
Zhang Liyang followed the eunuch out of the palace, his heart racing.
All adult princes had already moved out of the palace and into their own mansions, so Zhang Liyang had to leave the palace if he wanted to see Mu Zhan.
The only way to escape is within the distance between the palace and Mu Zhan's residence.
A palace gate appeared before his eyes. Zhang Liyang didn't have much time left; all he had to do was step out of this palace gate.
"What should I do"
Just when Zhang Liyang was feeling anxious, a figure appeared from the gate of the palace and walked towards the inner palace.
"Hm" Seeing that figure, Zhang Liyang's eyes lit up immediately. It was a young eunuch.
Although Zhang Liyang had only been to Feng Zhen's place once, he still had an impression. This little eunuch seemed to be serving Feng Zhen.
What a great opportunity!
Seeing the eunuch walking towards him, Zhang Liyang kept a calm expression. However, as the eunuch brushed past him, Zhang Liyang shot out a black shadow which landed directly in the eunuch's arms.
Noticing something amiss in his chest, the young eunuch stopped in surprise. He reached towards his chest and pulled out a familiar golden badge.
The moment the eunuch saw the token, his eyes widened and he turned to look at Zhang Liyang's retreating figure. He then quickly stuffed the token into his bosom and hurried towards the inner palace.
Although Zhang Liyang couldn't see behind him at this moment, his sharp perception allowed him to know that the little eunuch's pace had quickened a lot. He let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
"Humiliation doesn't matter, as long as I make it before I die."
In silence, Zhang Liyang trailed behind the eunuch down a wide and quiet street.
This is the most luxurious street in the Great Qin Imperial City. All the residents are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and Mu Zhan's mansion is also located on this street.
White walls, black tiles, bronze nails on the vermilion doors, a marble staircase paired with two jade lion statues at the entrance – it's truly magnificent.
This is Mu Zhan's mansion!
Without any announcement, the eunuch directly brought Zhang Liyang to a guest room and left after saying "wait here".
Zhang Liyang was helpless, so he could only stand in the living room waiting. But this wait lasted for more than half an hour.
Zhang Liyang had cultivation in his body. Don't say he stood for half an hour, even if he stood for a day, it wouldn't be a problem. Besides, the longer the time, the more advantageous it was for Zhang Liyang.
Just as Zhang Liyang was idly contemplating practicing standing meditation, suddenly someone outside the living room shouted "Catch the thief!"
In a short while, a group of people rushed past from outside the living room. Some carried swords and knives, while others had wooden clubs.
"Could the Prince's Residence be robbed Who would be so bold"
Zhang Liyang was curious inside, but he still stood in place without moving.
After a while of noisy sounds, they gradually died down. Just as Zhang Liyang was about to practice again, another set of footsteps sounded and stopped right outside the living room.
"Your Highness, that's where the thieves disappeared."
"Was every place searched"
Mu Zhan's voice could also be heard outside the living room.
This living room hasn't been searched yet.
"Then go search for it right away!"
Curses erupted, and then Zhang Liyang saw Mu Zhan, the leader, leading a group of people into the living room.
At this moment, these people naturally saw Zhang Liyang standing in the living room. Both sides were slightly stunned.
"It's you, how are you here"
Mu Zhan's first words when they met left Zhang Liyang a little stunned. "Your Highness, didn't you tell me to come"
"Did you come here When did I let you come here How do I not know"
Hearing Mu Zhan's words, Zhang Liyang's heart sank suddenly. Before he could speak, Mu Zhan spoke again.
Just now, thieves appeared at my house, and they just vanished right here.
Mu Zhan's eyes were now filled with a gloomy color, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation!"
"Trap!"
Zhang Liyang already had a guess at this moment.
"Your Highness, I just arrived as well. The one who brought me here is a eunuch from your side." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"You're talking about Quifeng" Mu Zhan beckoned to the back, and a eunuch with a smile walked over, it was the same eunuch who brought Zhang Liyang here.act countless people vying for it.Now Zhang Liyang is not the ignorant novice he once was. Although Zhang Liyang has been in the Jianghu for a shorter time, before entering the Jianghu, he used Mu Yin...
