"Your Majesty," looking at the other party's look, Ah Cai knew that Qi Chen had seen all the fight between him and the man in black, "Slave..."

He wanted to struggle to explain again, but Qi Chen didn't give him a chance at all.

"I ask again, who is the master in your mouth?" Qi Chen grabbed the other party's collar and asked with cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to betray you. I am forced to do nothing. I just want to survive."

Kneeling at Qi Chen's feet, Ah Cai said with a hint of tears in his voice: "I will tell your majesty everything I know. I beg your majesty to spare my life for the sake of my careful service for many years!"

"Tell me, who is that person?" Indifferent, Qi Chen just repeated each word with emphasis, clearly losing much patience.

"That man, that man wore a black iron mask on half of his face. I didn't see his appearance clearly. However, from the appearance and eyes, I think he looks like..."

At this point, Ah Cai paused deliberately and his eyes fell on the dagger that Qianye had just thrown and fell not far away.

At this time, everyone's attention was almost focused on the key content he was going to say next, especially the little emperor who was closest to him.

With a flash of his eyes, he took the opportunity to quickly pick up the dagger on the ground, unexpectedly put it on Qi Chen's neck, and kidnapped him.

The guards chased him for a distance, but the figure of the man in black disappeared. At this time, he had returned without success.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing His Majesty being held hostage by the eunuchs, the guards were shocked and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but Ah Cai shouted back, "Don't come over here. If you take one step forward, I will kill him."

The guards looked at each other, hesitating for a moment not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Ah Cai tightened the dagger on the emperor's neck again.

"If you are not afraid of something happening to the Emperor, just keep moving forward. My life is worthless, but the person in my hands is the Nine-Fifth Lord of Xiling Kingdom. You'd better think clearly."

The blade was extremely close to the skin, and the eunuch's hands were shaking slightly due to panic. It had already made a cut on Qi Chen's neck, and bright red blood seeped out from the wound.

"Everyone, stand down." Shen Wan stepped forward and ordered the guards, then turned to Ah Cai.

"If you let the emperor go, I can give you a way to live, but if you hurt the emperor, I will definitely let you die badly."

"Do you think I'm a fool? If I let him go, I'm seeking death!" Ah Cai sneered disdainfully as he held the emperor hostage and walked backwards out.

"I keep my word, and I guarantee it as the regent princess."

Naturally, Ah Cai still didn't believe it. In the current situation, holding the hostage in his hands was the greatest protection for him.

"I don't need any guarantee. You should immediately have someone prepare a carriage for me and a customs clearance document from the seaport. I will release His Majesty when I can safely go to sea."

"How can we trust you?" Qianye asked after taking the message.

According to this eunuch's intention, if he wanted to hold His Majesty hostage all the way to escape, he would not be allowed to follow him. How would he ensure His Majesty's safety then?

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As far as I'm concerned, I can't die today, so I might as well give it a try. Maybe I can still get a chance of survival for myself, but Your Majesty,"

Looking at the hostage in his hands, Ah Cai curled his lips coldly, "If you don't care about His Majesty's life or death, you can rush up and kill me right now, and I won't lose if you drag the Emperor along to be buried with me. .”

"Shameless person!" Qianye gritted his teeth angrily, but with the little emperor in his hands, he could only resist the urge to cut the little eunuch into pieces.

"Prepare as he said." She looked up and saw the figure hiding in the dark. Shen Wan took over the instructions and gave Qianye a look at the same time.

At this time, Qianye also saw the man standing in the attic not far away. He understood what the princess meant, and he immediately went to prepare with his guards.

Ah Cai escorted the little emperor to retreat outside the palace, and the guards followed him all the way.

The prepared carriage had stopped at the palace gate, and Qianye walked towards the eunuch with the customs clearance document in hand.

"Stop!" As the regent's first-class personal bodyguard, his martial arts must be very high. He was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to attack him if he was too close, so Ah Cai stopped him vigilantly.

"You don't have to come over. You put your things on the carriage and I'll pick them up myself after I get on the carriage."

"Okay." Anyway, this man couldn't jump around for long. Qianye responded and raised his feet to go in the direction of the carriage, but was stopped by the eunuch again.

"Wait, please open the document first and let me see it." He wanted to confirm whether it was true or false.

Qianye did as he was told, unfolded the document in his hand, and stood it up for the little eunuch to see.

How could he be allowed to hold the emperor hostage and leave the imperial city? The so-called customs clearance document was naturally false.

But Ah Cai had never seen the real document, and there was a certain distance between the two of them. When he saw the seal on it, he felt relieved.

"Put it in the carriage!" Nodding to Qianye, Ah Cai immediately turned to the guards who were watching him eagerly, "You all move back, 50 meters away."

He had to escort the little emperor into the carriage, and he was easily distracted during this period. However, he also knew that the emperor was in his hands and the guards could not completely withdraw, so he had to keep a safe enough distance.

"I have been with Your Majesty for so many years, and I would like to trouble Your Majesty to see me off for the last time." A cold look flashed in his eyes, and Ah Cai escorted Qi Chen to the carriage.
