Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Dai Qianyi
Seeing how nervous the younger eunuch was, the older eunuch said, “Speak quickly. I’m almost dying from curiosity.”

After calming down, the younger eunuch said, “Those imperial guards were here to monitor us.”

When the older eunuch heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, “Why?”

The young eunuch said, “Because, in Junshi Xianhe Hall, Duan Qinwang rebelled but failed. Now, the news of Duan Qinwang’s rebellion has spread in the imperial palace and the imperial capital city. Everyone knows that if you don’t want to be implicated, it’s better to stay away from the Duan Qinwang’s Mansion and our Ci Ning Palace.”

The older eunuch didn’t understand why they were implicated and asked, “Why do they also want to stay away from Ci Ning Palace?”

Seeing his ignorance, the younger eunuch shook his head and said, “Don’t you know that Duan Qinwang is a frequent visitor to Ci Ning Palace? In one month, he visited Huang Tai Hou more times than his wife. There are also rumors that Duan Qinwang actually has that kind of relationship with Huang Tai Hou.”

The two of them have worked in the back palace since they were children, and both know the dark side of the women in the back palace. Due to their loneliness, they occasionally have secret relationships with guards or eunuchs to satisfy their physical and mental needs. Therefore, when the older eunuch heard this, his face turned pale.

He panicked and asked anxiously, “Then what should we do?”

The younger eunuch shook his head and said, “What can we do? All we can do is pray that Duan Qinwang’s rebellion will not implicate us and that the Emperor will have mercy for us.”

While the two eunuchs were thinking about their bleak futures and how to save their lives, the young palace maid had already arrived at the main hall of Ci Ning Palace.

Seeing her arrival, the two third-rank palace maids bowed slightly at her and said, “Sister, Huang Tai Hou is already waiting for you inside.”

The young palace maid nodded and walked into the main hall. When she saw the middle-aged woman wearing luxurious clothes and exquisite makeup sitting on the main seat calmly playing chess, the palace maid walked up to her and then knelt on the cold floor before her.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged woman said, “How is it?”

The palace maid bowed her head and said, “Reporting to Huang Tai Hou. Duan Qinwang’s rebellion had failed. This servant learned from our spies that the Jin Yi army captured Duan Qinwang and his followers, who are currently imprisoned in Dali Si. Only Duan Shizi managed to escape.”

After reporting the news, the palace maid did not dare to make any noise. Dai Qianyi stared at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard for a long time and asked, “What about the Emperor?”

“Reporting to Huang Tai Hou. His Majesty is on his way to Ci Ning Palace.” The palace maid replied, with a hint of fear in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Dai Qianyi calmly said to her personal maid, “Guo Mo Mo, go and clean the mess.”

Guo Mo Mo, who was standing on the side, bowed and said calmly, “This servant will go right away.”

After saying that, Guo Mo Mo left with a few servants. Seeing that Dai Qianyi didn’t say that she could leave, the palace maid could only kneel silently on the cold floor.

After a long time, Dai Qianyi finally put down the black chess piece on the chessboard and said, “You should hide first. Don’t let anyone see you.”

The palace maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, Huang Tai Hou.”

After the palace maids left through the back door, Dai Qianyi stood up and walked to the inner room, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. When she walked into the spacious and luxurious bedroom, Guo Mo Mo came back.

“Have you cleaned up the mess?” Dai Qianyi asked calmly.

Guo Mo Mo lowered her voice and replied, “Reporting to Huang Tai Hou. This servant has cleaned everything. No one will ever find any evidence of our involvement.”

Dai Qianyi has always believed in Guo Mo Mo’s ability and loyalty. Since Guo Mo Mo said everything had been taken care of, she nodded and said, “Good.”

The two of them entered the bedroom with the servants, and Dai Qianyi said, “Ai Jia is not feeling well. If the Emperor comes, tell him that Ai Jia has already rested and does not want to be disturbed.”

Guo Mo Mo understood what she meant and smiled, “Yes, Huang Tai Hou.”

While the first-rank maids were helping Dai Qianyi change clothes, take off her jewelry, and clean up her makeup, Guo Mo Mo went out to wait for Emperor Yong’an. She waited for nearly thirty minutes before finally seeing Emperor Yong’an come with his entourage.

Before Qiu Yuanbo could announce the arrival of Emperor Yong’an, Guo Mo Mo had already stepped forward and knelt in front of them, daringly blocking the road.

Guo Mo Mo lowered her head and calmly saluted Emperor Yong’an, “Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years.”

Seeing Guo Mo Mo blocking his way, Emperor Yong’an sneered and thought, ‘She really doesn’t dare to see me today. However, I won’t let her get what she wants.’

Qiu Yuanbo noticed Emperor Yong’an’s expression and walked up to Guo Mo Mo. He stood in front of her and motioned to the two imperial guards, who stepped forward and grabbed Guo Mo Mo’s arm. Guo Mo Mo was startled when the imperial guards suddenly grabbed her arms, and she struggled to free herself.

She looked at Qiu Yuanbo in surprise and asked, “Qiu Gong Gong, what do you mean by doing this?”

Qiu Yuanbo smiled at Guo Momo, but his words made her freeze in place.

He waved his hand and coldly said, “Slap her!”

Before Guo Momo could react, an imperial guard stepped forward and stood in front of her. The next second, he raised his hand and slapped Guo Mo Mo until she saw the stars.
