I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 750 Long Live the Emperor! (20)
Yu Muhuai then began to address Bao Min in the same way, following Wan Zhixin's form of address.

"Wet nurse, what brings you to me?"

Bao Min bowed again: "Your Majesty, this servant has not seen the Admiral for a long time and misses him dearly. The Admiral lingers in the palace, which must mean he and Your Majesty are getting along very well."

Thinking of the scenes from my time in the palace, I feel a pang of emotion. That's why I've come to the palace today, hoping to see the Commander and ease my longing."

Yu Muhuai sneered inwardly.

Missing Ping Qinian? I think you're afraid I'll eat Ping Qinian, so you want to see if he's still breathing, right?

However, Yu Muhuai showed no reaction whatsoever.

She nodded and said in a very calm tone, "Since the wet nurse wants to see Admiral Ping, then let her go see him."

After saying that, Yu Muhuai called to Li De'en, who was standing next to him.

"De'en, take the wet nurse to Admiral Ping's bedchamber. They might chat for a while, so let's have lunch at the palace."

"twitter."

Li De'en responded and then turned to face Bao Min.

"Wet nurse, please."

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Bao Min's face; she seemed not to have expected to meet Ping Qinian so easily.

But she didn't think much of it, happily agreed, and followed Li De'en out.

Yu Muhuai stared at Bao Min's departing figure, and as she stepped across the threshold, a cold and fierce smile appeared on his lips.

"Someone is coming."

Two men in black suddenly appeared in the study where there had just been only the Emperor, the eunuch, and the wet nurse.

The two knelt on one knee in front of Yu Muhuai. Even through their clothes, their strong bodies were visible, and their entire being exuded an intimidating aura.

"Let Bao Min taste the same flavor that Ping Qinian tasted, and let them be a pair of lovebirds living together in the bedroom."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That day, the wet nurse Bao Min did not leave the palace.

However, Bao Min sent a message to his own people.

"I'm fine, and the Admiral is fine too. I'm here with him, so don't worry."

The person waiting outside received a reply and confirmed that the handwriting was indeed Bao Min's.

I originally wanted to send someone in to check, but the palace has been heavily guarded recently. The people inside have changed several times and they have already purged their own people. It is no longer the place where we could communicate at any time.

This emperor is definitely not a kind person!

They pretended to be innocent to lower Admiral Ping's guard, but now they've revealed their terrifying claws.

He must be plotting something!
However, with Ping Qinian in his hands, the Eastern Depot was essentially in his grasp, and the eunuch faction was almost entirely under the emperor's control!

Now even the only person they were in contact with, the wet nurse, is trapped and can't get out!
That's really impressive.

Although I'm unwilling, this is all I can do today.

Hmph! We'll have plenty of time in the future.

The group flicked their robes, spurred their horses, and turned to leave.

They soon arrived at the outskirts of the city, preparing to go to a villa in the suburbs.

That was one of Ping Qinian's villas, and also a base for secret operations. There was a large underground space that could be used to hide people, weapons, food, jewelry, and so on.

Although Ping Qinian has not appeared in the public eye for a long time, his accumulated power over the years has given him an extraordinary foundation.

Even though the master was temporarily away and several of his generals had fallen from power, the Eastern Depot continued to operate in an orderly manner, and Ping Qinian's private secret organization remained standing.

Besides cooperating with the Eastern Depot on daily missions, this secret organization was responsible for Ping Qinian's safety.

However, recently there have been several major reshuffles of the eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and so on within the palace.

All the people they had previously planted had mysteriously disappeared.

The organization's first suspect was, of course, the Emperor.

But pulling out all the hidden spies isn't something an outsider could easily do. There must be a mole inside.

As a result, the organization immediately conducted an internal reorganization and actually found the moles planted by various factions.

This caused a lot of time to be wasted.

Although they all knew that Ping Qinian was not in any danger, and some people even saw him walking around in the courtyard of the sleeping quarters.

However, in their view, Ping Qinian was under house arrest by the emperor.

As for the reason for the house arrest...
It's possible that the emperor had some leverage over Ping Qinian.

Or rather, Ping Qinian was poisoned.

Yu Muhuai: Hmm. This young man has potential.

However, the Emperor's reorganization of the palace while Ping Qinian was in trouble made the rescue operation very difficult.

Several attempts were made to sneak in, but all those who went in disappeared without a trace.

Left with no other choice, they turned to the wet nurse, Bao Min.

Bao Min had extensive connections in the palace; she had ways to strike up conversations with people in the palace and even get them to pass on messages.

But unexpectedly, once he entered the palace, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Even the wet nurse, Bao Min, never came out again.

Left with no other option, these people could only return to the base below the palace to discuss the matter further.

It was late at night, and the woods were completely silent except for the occasional bird call.

The group rode at full speed, unaware of anything amiss.

Suddenly, the leaders felt a sharp pain in their necks.

The scene they saw plummeted from above, landing at ground level.

To outsiders, it simply looked like several round heads had been suddenly separated from the corpse and fallen to the ground.

The eyes of those heads blinked, as if they were still trying to figure out what had happened.

Although their bodies and heads were separated instantly, their brains continued to function due to inertia, so they did not completely lose their senses.

But a few seconds later, these people stopped breathing completely.

The horses, bewildered, carried the headless corpse forward and ran for a while.

Once the carcass fell to the ground and no one was there to guide the horses, they lost their way and began to run wildly through the jungle.

They quickly disappeared without a trace.

This massacre in the jungle was carried out silently, without even a cry of pain.

Only a pool of crimson blood and scattered corpses testified to the passing of a group of lives.

That evening, a palace in the suburbs caught fire, and it is said that no one escaped.

They were all burned to death inside the palace.

This is one of Ping Qinian's residences.

When the news arrived, the casualty count was zero.

Yu Muhuai calmly glanced at it, then put the document down and tossed it into a pile of "read and unimportant" documents.

On that day, more than a dozen carriages drove into the palace, their covers completely concealed, so no one knew what was inside.

When Yu Muhuai arrived at the national treasury and saw the extra pile of wealth, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile.

----

Two months later, a body was thrown into the artificial lake in the middle of the night.

The next day, Yu Muhuai made a special trip to the lakeside.

“Your Majesty,” Li De’en said, taking out fish food, “do you wish to feed the fish?”
