Chi Jia could sense that Eunuch Xi was not happy with the decision of the Emperor. Though he understood why his majesty asked Eunuch Xi to hold back, he knew that Eunuch Xi was not willing to let go of Old Master Su just because his daughter was carrying the child of his majesty.

He looked at Eunuch Xi and then asked, " Are you not going to deal with that man just because his majesty asked you to stay quiet?"
Eunuch Xi sneered and then placed the cup in his hand which he was playing with on the table before saying, " Who says that I am not going to deal with him? I am waiting to deal with him. It's just that his majesty asked me to deal with that man in a clean way which would not cause too much trouble."
" If I deal with that man heavy-handedly, then the child in the belly of the imperial concubine will be in danger and though his majesty does not care about that woman, he cares about his royal child."
Though it had been years and Eunuch Xi had accepted his identity as a eunuch, he was never going to forget how Old Master Su ruined him and his family. If not for the fact that his majesty saved his face by appointing him as his aide, the Xi family's reputation would have gone down the drain and his family would have lost everything.
He still hadn't forgotten how his wife nearly killed herself when she found out that he had become a eunuch. Even his sons and daughters had to suffer humiliation, even now his daughters had to hear taunts from their in-laws regarding how their father was no longer a complete man.
This was a grudge that would never be settled.
Chi Jia pursed his lips and then said, " What if I tell you there is a thrilling way to expose the matter of Old Master Su turning you into a eunuch and even dealing with his reputation and bringing shame to him and his family?" He paused and added, " His Majesty will not be able to blame you either as you will become the victim of the situation."
Eunuch Xi's attention was hooked. He did not expect that there was a way to deal with the Old Master of the Su family where he would be able to bring the truth to light and even become the victim of the situation.
" Your reputation has already been ruined by the master of the Su family. If you don't want to do it then no one is going to force you but just think about, however if you agree then you will be able to teach a rather good lesson to Old Master Su," he paused and then added, " If you want to ruthlessly execute someone then you will have to be ruthless to yourself first."
This was what Su Wan asked him to say to Eunuch Xi in case he started to hesitate.
Though Eunuch Xi could sense that he was being used, he was quite tempted to try this plan. Not only was it thrilling but it would be fun if it worked. He would love to see how Old Master Su would be able to clean himself after this place succeeds.
Eunuch Xi chuckled and then said, " Very well. But if something comes in between then I will tell his majesty that you were on the plan with me."
Chi Jia was speechless why was he on the plan? He just came to relay the plan!
" I am not on the plan——"
" If I tell his majesty that this was something that the third prince came up with then he might send the crown prince to the Big Ocean city, especially to teach a lesson to his Highness," Eunuch Xi intervened causing Chi Jia to swallow his words. " Come on, you are the special guard of his highness, protecting him is your job."
Though Chi Jia was unwilling his sense of duty stopped him from running back to the Big Ocean City and even if he did run away, he knew that his majesty would not leave him so easily once the plan came to light.
If that was the case then he might as well have his fun before receiving punishment.
