Chapter 62: Fear
The eunuch led Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu into a Side Hall, turning around and heading toward the door, preparing to leave.
“Wait, Eunuch,” Qin Yefeng hurriedly stopped the eunuch from leaving.
“Lord Holy Envoy, is there a matter?” The eunuch halted his steps, bowing as he looked at Qin Yefeng.
“I wonder why His Majesty the Emperor’s health suddenly seems to be failing. Did he catch a cold?” Qin Yefeng asked doubtfully.
“His Majesty the Emperor is suffering from a sickness of the heart. This is because concubines and palace maids have been continuously disappearing without reason within the Imperial Palace, including His Majesty’s favorite, Concubine Ya. Ever since Concubine Ya disappeared, His Majesty’s health has deteriorated day by day.” The eunuch shook his head, flicking his whisk over his arm as he replied.
“Oh, so that’s what happened. But why are you all so afraid as well?” Qin Yefeng stared at the eunuch in front of him and asked slowly.
The eunuch turned around, glancing around to ensure no one was nearby, and whispered with a terrified expression, “Please do not ask me about this again in the future. I dare not answer this question, and it is best if you stop asking!”
Following that, the eunuch hurriedly left the Side Hall, as if he didn’t want to stay there for even a moment longer.
Qin Yefeng observed that this Imperial Palace was incredibly sinister, completely lacking the solemn majesty he had imagined.
