Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 210 - 208: Godly Finishing Move (Fifth Update)

Hence, without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, the young Emperor directly voiced his doubts with some confusion:

"Wasn’t it two pieces? Could it be that three were sold?

And looking at your smug expression, could it be that today’s sales figures have doubled compared to my estimate?"

Following the Emperor’s remarks, this time it was Lin Yi who was stunned, not the Emperor.

He could never have imagined that the young Emperor would casually mention such an accurate figure.

Moreover, it seemed to be a wild guess.

This made him even more puzzled, could this girl possess some sort of superhuman ability?

Could she be such a master of divination to deduce all of this?

But he soon helplessly shook his head, dismissing this speculation from his mind.

After all, if she truly possessed superhuman abilities, she would have likely risen to power long ago.

Certainly not the same as what he had observed after his arrival.

If she had the means, if she had superhuman abilities, the Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince would probably have been ground into the dust by her.

Apart from this, Lin Yi could only explain to himself that she was just talking nonsense, making a wild guess that just happened to be correct.

At this moment, all these thoughts of his naturally did not escape the young Emperor’s mind.

Hearing Lin Yi’s mumbling to himself brought great joy to the Emperor, and his pretty face was filled with delight.

"Hey, I take back what I said just now.

It seems your Shadow Guard really is remarkable, being able to grasp every move made here."

However, it seemed Lin Yi soon figured out something.

Although these matters were secretive and not widely known, Lin Yi was aware of the existence of Ying Yi.

Even though he didn’t know the specifics of the Shadow Guard’s affairs, Lin Yi was also aware that the young Emperor had his own intelligence organization.

He had never imagined that such secret affairs were also known to the other party.

Adding to what the Emperor had previously told him, he couldn’t help but give the Shadow Guard a big thumbs up.

Yet what he did not know was that, as his words settled, it was as if he had slapped two faces with one strike.

One was the Emperor’s, a blatant slap in the face.

She knew better than anyone what her Shadow Guard was like.

If it weren’t for overhearing Lin Yi’s thoughts, she would have had no idea about these matters.

If she went by the reports sent back to her by the Shadow Guard, those were simply two glazed Qilin Vases plus a sales figure of nearly three hundred thousand taels.

And now? Such figures had doubled instantly.

This was not a small discrepancy; three hundred thousand taels versus six hundred thousand taels was indeed a stark difference.

At the same time, the Emperor pondered that the Shadow Guard was no longer as competent as before.

While the Emperor was thinking this, Ying Yi, who was not far away, could not help but feel her face flush.

This scoundrel was absolutely playing with people’s hearts.

Knowing well that her Shadow Guard had uncovered nothing, he still took such a stab.

Wasn’t this just causing her status in the Emperor’s heart to sink even more?

This caused her an itch of hatred for Lin Yi for a moment.

She truly wanted to rush out and give him a good thrashing.

However, no matter what, what the man said was indeed true; her Shadow Guard had indeed failed this time, and naturally people might say something—which she had no control over.

Although she couldn’t say anything aloud, her mind was cursing those Shadow Guards repeatedly.

She also thought that those fellows must have been living too comfortably for too long.

When she returned, she would drag them out for a round of devilish training, so they would truly understand the qualities a spy should possess.

While the speaker might not have intended much, the little Emperor didn’t pick up the conversation, only showing an ambiguous smile.

However, this hint of a smile seemed different in Lin Yi’s eyes; it was clear the little Emperor felt smug.

So, he could only huff in annoyance, and then recounted the events of the day in detail.

Regarding the third glazed Qilin Vase, the Emperor also furrowed his brows after hearing about it, equally unclear about why that merchant would have such audacity.

At the same time, he was very curious about the merchant’s identity.

Thus, under Lin Yi’s gaze, the little Emperor directly ordered in a restrained voice:

"Send someone to check that merchant’s background immediately."

As the Emperor’s words fell, a white figure flashed by, and then the grand hall returned to its prior state.

Lin Yi naturally knew that these words were directed at Ying Yi, and he was also very clear about who that fleeting white figure was.

After all, there was an unforgettable little story between himself and Ying Yi.

Meanwhile, Ying Yi, having left the Jinluan Hall, immediately found the Shadow Guard at the entrance.

Seeing the Commander approach, the Shadow Guard promptly bowed in salute.

But, what she got in return was Ying Yi’s cold snort:

"Hmph, a bunch of failures, go check on the merchant who purchased the glazed Qilin Vase from the Royal Glass Shop.

Within four hours, I want all information on him. freewēbnoveℓ.com

If you can’t find anything, don’t bother coming back."

After saying that, Ying Yi’s figure flashed and she disappeared in front of the Shadow Guard.

Only when Ying Yi was gone did the guard still stand there, stunned.

Was that really the Commander? Why was she so irate?

She was known for her aloofness, normally sparing with words.

Being scolded like that today was absolutely unprecedented.

This left her momentarily unable to grasp what was going on.

But as a Shadow Guard, she quickly came back to her senses and hurriedly recalled the task the Commander had given.

However, when she thought about the task from the Commander, she was immediately filled with question marks.

"The Commander asked to check the merchant who bought the glazed Qilin Vase?

I received reports that there were only two buyers of that item.

One was the Fourth Prince, and the other was the Sixth Prince.

Since when did a merchant appear?"

Even though she was puzzled, she quickly set out to carry out the Commander’s orders.

After all, she had clearly witnessed the Commander’s temper just now.

The coldness was so vivid that thinking back on it made her shiver uncontrollably.

And the Commander’s last sentence was certainly no joke.
