"Deal with the eunuch guarding Chengqian Palace tonight. That insolent fool."
The Emperor was seething with anger and naturally wouldn't spare the life of that insolent servant.
De'an's face tightened, and he felt even more apprehensive. Knowing that Xiao Yangzi wouldn't survive the night, De'an didn't dare plead for him.
With the recent water disaster in Changtian Prefecture, the Emperor was already furious. If De'an pleaded now, he'd only bring trouble upon himself.
After all, Xiao Yangzi foolishly provoked Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu is the Emperor's favored aide, and everyone in the court knows how much the Emperor values him now.
Besides, submitting a memorial at this time definitely indicates a major event.
Xiao Yangzi, being so blind, is better dealt with sooner rather than later, to avoid implicating others in the future.
De'an sighed. The boy seemed quite clever initially, but he became arrogant just a few days after joining him.
