Right at the critical moment, Princess Evergreen rushed forward and stood in front of Darryl. "He is my closest eunuch. I'm the one who forced him to play with me. Mother, I beg you to forgive him."
At that moment, Princess Evergreen's eyes were full of worry and begging.
It was not easy for her to find an interesting eunuch. How could she let him be executed?
At that same time, Darryl quickly kneeled and displayed an expression of fear. He was reluctant to kneel, but he had no other choice.
He had to withstand the slight humiliation to stay at the palace to investigate Quincy's whereabouts and the Dragon Essence.
The Empress sighed and glared at Darryl. "I shall spare your life today. Leave now."
Princess Evergreen was the Empress's youngest daughter. She was the apple of the Empress' eye, and the anger in the latter’s heart lessened when she saw the princess begging for Darryl.
Princess Evergreen was delighted. She hugged the Empress affectionately. "I know Mother always treats me the best!”
At the same time, Princess Evergreen signaled Darryl with her eyes in secret.
Understanding immediately, Darryl replied appreciatively, "Thank you for showing mercy on me, Your Majesty."
As he said that, Darryl quickly stood up and retreated outside. That was a close call. He almost exposed his identity.
As he walked out of the yard entrance, Darryl could not help but wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead.
At that moment, Darryl just wished to leave the place as fast as possible. After all, he must locate Quincy to get back the Dragon Essence. That was why he was here.
