Candles were burning dimly in the Xianyang Palace.

With a slight "crackling" sound, Eunuch Changshun skillfully moved around the corner, and his footsteps were not much louder than the sound of the burning candles.

It was not until he walked up to Emperor Mingze, bowed with his hands raised in salute, that he spoke, breaking the silence in the hall.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Changshun placed the newly presented memorial on the table in front of Emperor Mingze, "As you expected, someone has inserted the memorial of King Jing's request to come to the capital into the memorial of thanks."

Eunuch Changshun tried his best to suppress the shock in his eyes.

Since Emperor Mingze ascended the throne, in order to show his love for the people, he authorized dozens of non-governmental organizations to submit memorials directly to the emperor. His original intention was to fundamentally solve the difficulties of people's livelihood. However, since then, most of the memorials submitted have been various expressions of gratitude for the grace of God.

He had no choice but to order people to sort the memorials into different categories, and pile the memorials of thanks aside, to be reviewed when he had free time.

This type of memorials would pile up more than half a meter high all year round, and were the best choice for King Jing's men to tamper with.

Although he had anticipated this, when it actually happened, Eunuch Changshun realized that he had overestimated his own psychological endurance.

Jiang Yanchuan glanced at the memorial at the top with his emotionless eyes: "Who is it?"

Eunuch Changshun lowered his head even lower and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is... it is the newly appointed Minister of the Court, Yu Kaiji Yu."

When they were setting up the situation, they happened to see Yu Kaiji inserting a memorial of thanks into the memorial, and only then did they confirm that he was a spy.

Jiang Yanchuan hummed softly.

He did not seem surprised by such an outcome, nor did he care about what King Jing did. He just casually flipped through the memorial in the dim candlelight in the room.

"How is that person now?"

"I have told him to go back and rest today. Wei Shisan will lead his men to follow him. We will set up a tight surveillance network tonight."

Jiang Yanchuan didn't say anything else. Eunuch Changshun waited for a moment, then went to cut off the burnt-out wick. The light in the hall then became brighter.

Only when he returned to where he had just been standing did Jiang Yanchuan slowly put the memorial back on the table.

Jiang Yanchuan chuckled, and the flickering candlelight made his eyes look particularly deep: "Did the person who contacted Yu Kaiji find anything?"

"This..." Eunuch Changshun pondered for a moment.

The person Xu Jiu sent back to the palace to report the news came back too late. When they sent people to monitor, Yu Kaiji had already finished "going to the toilet" and returned to the duty room. As for who that person was, there is still no clue.

Eunuch Changshun opened his mouth and was about to confess his crime directly——

[Eh? Is Yu Kaiji the spy that King Jing planted next to my father? ]

A familiar voice suddenly rang in the ears of the two people in the hall: [Is there anyone else to contact? Who is it? ! ]

Jiang Yanchuan: "..."

Eunuch Changshun: “…”

Eunuch Changshun looked up blankly at the moonlight outside the window.

Although the little guy was delayed for some time today because he was taken out of the palace by Concubine Rou, it is time for him to return to Xingshuang Palace to rest. The most important thing is -

The little guy has come here, but no one has informed him. Have all the people in Xianyang Palace been bribed by the little guy? !

And what does that "二五仔" mean? !

[Ni...Ying...Yi? That's a hard word to pronounce! ]

[Hmm? Why is Uncle Changshun silent? Have they not discovered this person yet?]

The little guy's voice was filled with obvious distress: [It seems that Chengcheng's "inventory" does not contain these two words. I can only find a scapegoat tomorrow to think of a solution...]

The slight sound of knuckles tapping on the table brought Eunuch Changshun back to his senses. He raised his head and met Emperor Mingze's suggestive eyes.

Eunuch Changshun suddenly came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, a palace servant claimed that he found Yu Kaiji and Ni Yingyi meeting privately in the depths of the jungle. These two adults usually have no contact with each other, so this move is very suspicious..."

Jiang Yanchuan said, "Hmm," and said, "Leave this matter to Lu Yao. He will know how to handle it."

Lu Yao has fully mastered the skill of making the little guy happy. Normally, he would either secretly give him a candy or hand him a small cake when no one is around. All the investigation and counter-investigation skills he acquired while investigating cases were used to help block the little guy's sight.

The relationship between the two has developed into a friendship regardless of age. Jiang Yanchuan even suspects that if this continues, he will soon hear Lu Yao calling him "Father".

[Wow~ The uncles are so amazing~ They even discovered this~]

Jiang Yingcheng quickly "selected" the biggest contributor for this matter: [It must be that my beautiful father had long been on guard against the bad guy King Jing, so he set up a strict surveillance network around him early in the morning, and was able to catch the rebellious traitor in one fell swoop! ]

Jiang Yanchuan's smile finally became more genuine.

He slowly stood up from behind the long table, motioned to Eunuch Changshun to continue his report, and walked quietly towards the direction where the little guy's voice came from.

Jiang Yingcheng was unaware of this at all, and was still happily praising her handsome father.

[Handsome, rich, resourceful, knowledgeable, my God, is there a more perfect man in the world than my father?! ]

She proudly asked and answered herself: [No! My father is just perfect!]

[Chengcheng now has a lot of merit points, my father will surely live a long life! ]

Jiang Yingcheng felt happy when she thought that her father had a healthy body because of her.

[When my father unifies the world, we will have only one type of charging port!!]

While Jiang Yingcheng was happy, she couldn't help but feel anxious: [That's right, how long will it take Uncle Changshun to finish talking? Chengcheng is already a little tired from standing~]

Although she was no longer sleepy, she was very tired after tossing and turning the whole night. She had to plot against that bad woman, Concubine Rou, to ruin her reputation, and she also had to pretend to accidentally knock open the door, exposing Prince Jing to everyone.

Eunuch Changshun: “…”

He also wants to stop!

He no longer had anything to report, but he still had to force himself to keep racking his brains, filling what could have been a brief narration with endless amounts of content, and mixing a few serious sentences into a long paragraph of nonsense. He was also very tired, okay? !

Jiang Yingcheng was completely unaware of these aggrieved yet pretending to be strong thoughts. He just huddled in the corner behind the door, holding the big bag of snacks in his arms.

[Father will be able to do it later——Hmm? ]

A faint scent of ambergris swept across Jiang Yingcheng's nose, and her sense of smell detected the figure of her handsome father before she did.

She raised her head with a dull expression and met those beautiful eyes from bottom to top.

[Oh no! Cheng Cheng has been discovered! ! ]
