I rolled my eyes at Wei Yi's cautious look and said, "If I wasn't worried that you would be upset, would I go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to visit you at this time?"

"I can't let it go?" Wei Yi narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I have served three emperors, how can I let it go?"

I said angrily, "Now I finally understand that everyone in this world will be unhappy, but you won't be unhappy."

Wei Yi smiled faintly and said, "Are you angry?"

I straightened my body, but it hurt my butt, and I hissed in pain. I was so angry that I shouted, "Why should I be angry? I volunteered to come see you! Damn it, it hurts so much."

Wei Yi wanted to laugh, but he held it back and said, "If you don't come out tonight, this guy won't be so easy to catch."

"What?" I was a little confused by Wei Yi's incoherent words.

Wei Yi did not respond, but asked, "I heard that you beat up the nanny from the Laurel Palace today?"

I was a little surprised and asked, "You know such a small thing?"

Now it was Wei Yi's turn to roll his eyes. He said, "I arranged all the people in your palace. They will report to me if there is any disturbance. How could I not know about it?"

Except Yingchun and Yang who were brought by me to this palace, the others were indeed arranged by the palace. I just didn't expect these people would report my every move to Wei Yi. They are indeed a group of ungrateful people who can never be tamed.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Wei Yi continued, "Do you know why the emperor never restrains you? You can go wherever you want?"

When I thought about the surveillance I was living under everyday, I felt a little depressed. Moreover, Wei Yi asked me this question, Zheng Xian must not be doing this for my own good. He was still plotting against me even after Zheng Xian died. I asked angrily, "Why?"

Wei Yi said slowly, "If you weren't wandering around, how could we lure out these rebellious people?"

I suddenly seemed to have figured something out. I looked up at Wei Yi in disbelief and asked, somewhat stutteringly, "You, you mean, you've been using me as bait?"

Wei Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are not without self-awareness."

All the things that I couldn't understand before now become clear to me.

Logically speaking, I am Zheng Xian's lucky person, so it is natural for him to be good to me, but he never ties me to his side. Instead, he lets me do whatever I want. No matter what trouble I get into, he never blames me. It seems that he is letting me go, but in fact, is he using me to fish?

Moreover, my fishing bait is very useful. As long as he spreads some news, people who want to kill me will flock to me. Zheng Xian only needs to pull the net from the shore to catch the fish.

I think Zheng Xian spread the news that I was a lucky person, making those people think that if they killed me, Zheng Xian would be defeated. But how could Zheng Xian let me die?

Zheng Yan's throne has not yet been consolidated, and I am still very useful. Zheng Xian even put me in a cage before his death, so that I can't leave this imperial city for the rest of my life.

The emperor's heart is truly unfathomable.

Wei Yi stood aside without saying anything, letting my expression change. He had guessed that I had figured out the truth, but now that Zheng Xian was dead, I couldn't go looking for trouble with him. In addition, I was a concubine, so even if I knew the truth, I was a member of the royal family from generation to generation, and I would never do anything to humiliate the royal family.

In other words, I will never be able to break free from this cage in my entire life. I will be a royal family member in life and a royal ghost in death!

Wei Yi left me behind with confidence and turned to look at Cheng Dazhi and the three men in black.

At this time, Cheng Dazhi had already uncovered the masks of the three men in black and was talking to them.

The distance was quite far, and Cheng Dazhi deliberately lowered his voice. Many people couldn't hear what Cheng Dazhi and the others were saying, but I could hear it clearly:

Cheng Dazhi: "What kind of drug did Gui give you to make you lose your mind like this?"

Hei: "Don't ask me anymore. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish. Some things cannot be turned back once they are started."

Cheng Dazhi: "How can I explain to my parents if you do this?"

Hei: "You are enough for my parents."

Cheng Dazhi: "You know clearly that my parents don't like me, but you are forcing me into an unfilial and unrighteous situation."

Hei: "You are not a good person to begin with. You have been an official for so many years. Don't you know how much blood is on your hands? And now you come to me and tell me that you are unfilial and unrighteous?"

Cheng Dazhi: "I had no choice but to enter the palace. If I didn't have the money I earned from selling my body, your parents would have starved to death and you wouldn't have been born. Now your parents have raised you to adulthood, and you have become a leader of the imperial guards in the palace. You have a bright future. Why did you do something so destructive?"

Hei: "I have long thought that you, a eunuch, have no love in your heart, but you preached to me before I died. Was it to reduce the sin of killing me? It is totally unnecessary."

Cheng: "You! Since you are so stubborn, I won't say much. Just tell me everything you know. Maybe you can reduce your punishment and die more comfortably."

Hei: "As expected, eunuchs are all hypocritical. When coercion fails, they bribe me? I won't say anything. Since I'm in your hands, I never thought about living."

Seeing that Cheng Dazhi wanted to say something, Wei Yi interrupted him impatiently, "Cheng Dayong was the leader of the imperial guards in the palace, but he committed a crime in the palace and assassinated the Empress Dowager Shu. This is a capital crime. Since nothing can be learned from him, then just execute him."

Cheng Dayong wanted to mock Cheng Dazhi a few more times. After all, Cheng Dayong was the only one in the Cheng family who could inherit the family business. If Cheng Dayong died, Cheng Dazhi might not even be able to enter the house in the future.

But before Cheng Dayong could say anything, a cold light flashed in Cheng Dazhi's hand, and a dagger pierced Cheng Dayong's abdomen, cleanly and neatly, without the slightest hesitation.

Cheng Dayong looked at the dagger on his stomach and stared at Cheng Dazhi in disbelief. As soon as he said "you", Cheng Dazhi pulled out the dagger with his backhand and stabbed it into another man in black!

In the blink of an eye, the three men in black were stabbed by Dazhi's sword and fell straight to the ground, dying with their eyes open!

Wei smiled at Cheng Dazhi and said, "Master Cheng is indeed ruthless."

Cheng Dazhi did not speak, but drew his sword and wiped the blood on the man in black, then said expressionlessly, "No one is more cruel than Chief Steward Wei."

After Cheng Dazhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards me. After bowing to me, he asked, "When will the Empress Dowager Shu leave the palace tomorrow?"

Leaving the palace?

Which palace are you leaving?

I never said I wanted to leave the palace!

Besides, my butt is still burning with pain, why should I leave the palace?

But when I saw Wei Yi's half-smile, my heart skipped a beat. Was he planning to use me to throw the erbium again?
