Chapter 196 Just Wait and See
Chapter 196 Just Wait and See
"Get out of the way, I want to go in!" A sharp and piercing female voice suddenly rang out. The roar was like thunder, shaking the eardrums of the people around.
Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Xinyao's heart tightened. She immediately realized that the visitor was not friendly. From the sound of the voice, it sounded like Concubine Yin had come.
At the same time, the guards at the door were apologizing to Concubine Yin with an embarrassed look on their faces: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has decreed that the Cold Palace is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to trespass without permission. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
However, Concubine Yin was clearly not going to give up. She sternly demanded, "If you don't tell me, how will the Emperor know? Get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Faced with Concubine Yin's aggressiveness, the four guards were afraid, but as part of their duty, they shouted in unison without hesitation: "Please forgive us, Your Majesty! We will not give in!"
These words were powerful and showed their determination to firmly defend the ban on the cold palace.
For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked and a tense atmosphere spread.
Concubine Yin's delicate face was distorted by anger. Her beautiful eyes widened and her eyebrows raised.
Pointing at the guards, she shouted angrily, "You ignorant little guards, how dare you be so rude to me? You're so bold! Come on, give me a good slap in the face!"
As Concubine Yin finished speaking, a series of crisp and loud "pa, pa, pa" sounds suddenly rang out, falling on the faces of the guards like a torrential rain.
"Will you get out of the way?" Concubine Yin's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, with a hint of coldness, as she shouted in a deep voice.
The emperor actually left her and went to sleep in Concubine Li's palace.
Normally, she would have tolerated it when the guards tried to stop her, but tonight the rage in her heart erupted like a volcano, and she had to find a place to vent it.
However, even though the guards' mouths were bleeding from the beating, the four of them still stood straight and replied in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is our duty and we cannot give in even a single step!"
Seeing that her order had failed to work, Concubine Yin was so angry that she trembled all over. She screamed hysterically: "Well, you bunch of dogs and slaves, you actually dared to disobey my order. Tonight I will teach you a lesson and beat you to death!"
"Stop!" Eunuch Xu, who had been staying in the cold palace where the queen lived, couldn't help but get furious when he heard this. He flashed and rushed out like a flash of lightning, and arrived at the door in the blink of an eye.
Wang Xinyao widened her eyes and looked in astonishment at Eunuch Xu who was moving as fast as a ghost in front of her, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
She simply couldn't believe what she saw. The speed displayed by this eunuch Xu was astonishing!
It was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, disappearing from sight in an instant.
"This... what kind of master is this?" Wang Xinyao muttered to herself, her voice full of disbelief and awe.
She once thought that Zhao Haoxuan, who was at the peak of the Martial King realm, was already a rare strong man in the world, but now compared with Eunuch Xu, Zhao Haoxuan was probably just a three-year-old child who had just learned to walk.
Eunuch Xu's incredible speed gave Wang Xinyao a new understanding of his strength.
She realized that her previous assessment of the ancients' military power was completely based on a narrow-minded approach.
It turns out that real masters are so terrifying, and their strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After witnessing Eunuch Xu's skills with her own eyes today, Wang Xinyao deeply felt that she still had a long way to go on the road of martial arts, which made her even more...
Eunuch Xu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold as ice as he looked directly at Concubine Yin. He said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, you are so arrogant and reckless at the gate of the cold palace. Aren't you afraid that this matter will reach the ears of His Majesty and cause His Majesty to be furious and punish you?"
Concubine Yin, who was originally arrogant, was so frightened when she saw Eunuch Xu suddenly appear that her face turned pale and she stood there in a daze.
After a long while, she stammered, "Eunuch Xu...Eunuch Xu, why...why are you here?"
At this moment, Concubine Yin no longer had the majestic aura she had just had, and instead her face was filled with fear and helplessness.
Facing Concubine Yin's question, Eunuch Xu just snorted coldly and replied with a blank expression, "Where does your Majesty think our family should be?"
His cold words seemed to freeze the air around him, and he didn't even mention the word "slave" in his words.
Concubine Yin always appeared gentle, kind and pitiful in front of the emperor, but today, unfortunately, she was caught by Eunuch Xu hitting someone.
She looked a little flustered and hurriedly explained, "That's not what you saw, Eunuch. It's just that these four guards were so audacious that they dared to speak wildly and insult me. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I just punished them and taught them a lesson. I hope you won't speak nonsense in front of His Majesty."
"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty should go back quickly. This is not a place you are allowed to set foot in." Eunuch Xu nodded slightly and replied.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yin's face darkened. She waved her sleeves fiercely and shouted angrily, "Return to the palace!"
At this moment, she was so angry that she was fuming. She was filled with resentment and had no place to vent her anger, so she thought of going to the cold palace to vent her anger to the queen, but who could have expected that she would meet Eunuch Xu here.
In this huge palace, apart from His Majesty the Emperor, only Eunuch Xu could make her feel fearful.
Concubine Yin clenched her fists tightly, gnashing her teeth and saying, "You good Concubine Li, just wait and see what happens to you! I'll show you how I'll tear out your tendons and skin you alive to vent my hatred!"
After saying that, she turned around and left in anger.
As Concubine Yin and her group walked further and further away, their figures finally disappeared completely behind the gate of the cold palace.
Eunuch Xu then turned around and walked hurriedly into the cold palace.
At this time, Yang Wanqing was sitting on a worn chair in the house, her face a little pale, but her expression was still calm.
Seeing Eunuch Xu come in, Yang Wanqing quickly stood up to greet him: "Eunuch, what's going on?"
Eunuch Xu walked quickly to Yang Wanqing, knelt on his knees, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for frightening you. It is all due to my poor performance. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Seeing this, Yang Wanqing quickly reached out to help him up and said softly, "Father, please get up quickly. This is not your fault!"
