Just a glance, he could see that it was a harmful matter.
Wen Mu Yan since childhood was brought up and cherished by the good care of the elder members of the family. Of course he would be an innocent and melancholic youth. He completely lacked any notion regarding the dangerous conflicts within the Palace chambers. He just thought that he had merely seen a simple out of the ordinary scene. He hardly realized how much conspiracy and scheming was contained in this calculated act. The scheming of the Monarch, since immemorial time, had been cunning without minding to do crafty things.
Without the slightest amount of awareness that he had fallen into a very dangerous situation, he turned his body and prepared to leave. However, he was too late.
The hidden place guards in black already found out about his presence. Quietly without a noise, they leaped out from their hidden place, from behind, they covered Wen Mu Yan’s mouth. They dragged him to enter the side room and threw him on the floor, then entirely closed the door.
Wen Mu Yan was pressed to kneel on the icy cold floor tile. Unable to lift his head. Even though he was still young and couldn’t understand the matter, at this very moment, he could also smell the perilous smell of this situation. Not long after, a row of troops entered the side room, lit up the furnace, the incense fragrance from the burner was burning with a crackling sound. From the top of his head, there was a cold voice of a youth: “How much have you seen?”
Wen Mu Yan’s body quivered, stating the truth as things really were: “I didn’t see anything…….”
His speech was of a child, indeed he didn’t see anything. However the him at this moment didn’t know how to explain and no matter what he said, the owner of the voice wouldn’t have believed him.
A deep voice of a woman fell to his ears, “It doesn’t matter whether or not he saw anything. This person definitely can’t be freed and sent back to his place. Simply exterminate him. Then cast away his body on the dried up well in the Cold Palace.”
One of the guards in black stepped forward: “Presently, His Majesty is seriously ill. The Imperial Palace is being guarded tightly by the Imperial Guards, one after another they make their rounds and strictly patrol around. It is easy to kill him and prevent him from divulging the secrets, but when disposing the body it would be hard to deceive the public eyes and ears. There are numerous threads in the inner Palace, If by any chance the other concubines found out about this matter, and take advantage from this, the many years hard work, wouldn’t it be destroyed in a mere moment?”
