Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 266 - 264 Token (Additional 6)

First of all, without mentioning anything else, just the way the other party has been acting now is very unusual to Lin Yi.

If the other party was indeed persecuting him, then their attitude upon seeing him would definitely not be like this, and at the very least, they wouldn’t treat him with such courtesy.

Unless the other party’s scheming is truly deep to a terrifying extent.

However, from everything the other party has shown, Lin Yi couldn’t associate it all together no matter what.

Knowing a face but not the heart, despite this, he couldn’t fully trust that the other party was innocent.

At the same time, he also maintained a certain level of caution towards Zhao Heng and didn’t dare to get too close, fearing a sudden outbreak of violence that could harm him.

After all, the other party’s martial arts skills are indeed exceptional, whereas he himself fell far short.

"Hehe, there are many people here, let’s talk inside.

I know why you’ve come today, and I can tell you everything you want to know."

Just as Lin Yi was frowning in thought, the other party’s voice rang out once again.

And this indeed piqued Lin Yi’s interest, prompting him to follow the other party inside.

At the same time, he remained vigilant.

If the other party were to launch an attack or a sneak attack, he would use the Wave Riding Micro Steps to escape at first notice.

However, the reality was somewhat different from what he expected, and no accidents occurred even after both of them sat down in the prison cell.

On the contrary, he didn’t know where the guy produced something and threw it directly at him.

"Hehe, everything you want to know is in here."

Looking at the object that was suddenly thrown to him, Lin Yi caught it without much thought.

But when he saw clearly that it was just a token, his brow furrowed even tighter.

This token was pitch-black throughout, and it was unclear what material it was forged from; it certainly wasn’t something that could be made from ordinary iron.

Despite this, aside from the token’s unique material, there were several special symbols carved on it that Lin Yi could not understand.

Lin Yi’s frown deepened at this sight.

He didn’t understand why the other party left this token for him, and what it meant.

Could it be telling him that he was the mastermind behind everything?

Or perhaps it belonged to a certain force?

Seeming to notice Lin Yi’s puzzled frown, the other party’s voice sounded softly once again:

"Agreed that it should not be seen by anyone else, take it back and show it to Your Majesty. He will naturally understand it all."

When these words were spoken, a solemn expression suddenly appeared on his face.

After speaking, his face returned to the previous expression, speaking to Lin Yi with a chuckle:

"Hehe, last time Eunuch Lin said that if there’s anything you need in the future, just speak up.

I didn’t expect that to come true so quickly; it’s only been a few days, and you already need Eunuch Lin’s help."

At this moment, Lin Yi held the token in his hand and looked at the other party’s changing expressions, falling into deep thought.

He was somewhat puzzled as to what was going on, and his mind became increasingly chaotic.

It seemed the matter was getting complicated, beyond his imagination.

The other party actually wanted to show this token to His Majesty, what does that mean?

Could it be there was a secret mechanism or a trap on the token?

Or was the token itself poisoned, and whoever touched it would be poisoned?

It’s no wonder Lin Yi had so many thoughts, especially because there had been a case before where someone had indeed tried to poison the Emperor,

And that case was still under investigation.

"Hehe, it seems that Eunuch Lin is full of worries.

Since that is the case, why doesn’t Eunuch Lin go back and see His Majesty first?"

Although it was only a short conversation and Lin Yi didn’t say much, he could already tell that the other person was probably not the real culprit.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t be so composed and maintain such a demeanor.

Lin Yi had always felt that something was not right; Zhao Heng didn’t seem like a bad guy to him.

That’s why he had directly come to the Heavenly Prison to see Zhao Heng.

Only, although he had met the man, he came out even more worried.

When Lin Yi walked out of the prison cell, he had an additional token in his arms, the very same token given to him by Zhao Heng.

It was unclear where this fellow had hidden it to bring it inside.

Now his whole body was searched, and by rights, this token should not have appeared.

But regardless, since the other party so solemnly asked him to give the token to His Majesty, all he could do was go back to see what was going on.

Maybe this token indeed held some clues.

But just to be safe, Lin Yi had someone bring a wooden box to store the token inside.

He didn’t plan to let the little Emperor touch the token in person, for if the token really was smeared with poison, then presumably no harm would come through the wooden box, right?

When Lin Yi, now accompanied by his entourage, returned to the Imperial Palace, he arrived just as the little Emperor was returning from court.

"Your Majesty, today I went to see Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng didn’t say anything, only gave me a token, and asked me to show it to you."

The little Emperor, who was being served and helped out of his Dragon Robe, paused in surprise upon hearing this.

Looking at Lin Yi with some confusion, he said:

"A token? What token?"

As these words were spoken, Lin Yi had already taken out the wooden box from his arms, but just as the little Emperor was about to reach out to take it, Lin Yi evaded him in an instant:

"Your Majesty, there’s no need to rush. I suspect there’s something odd about this token. For safety’s sake, I will hold onto it, and you can take a look from a distance."

Hearing this, the little Emperor chuckled and shook his head, but did not refuse Lin Yi’s kindness, letting Lin Yi open the wooden box from a distance.

However, as Lin Yi opened the wooden box, and the token inside appeared in front of the little Emperor’s eyes.

The little Emperor’s eyes widened in shock, and his expression instantly became excited.

He reached out his hand and directly grabbed for the token.

This motion startled Lin Yi, who quickly dodged aside.

He hurriedly warned with his voice:

"Your Majesty, please refrain! This token might have been poisoned, for your safety, it’s better not to touch it."
