All the guards near the Cold Palace knew that this was His Majesty's order. Without His Majesty's approval, how could they let Zhan Ruyi, who had been beaten into the Cold Palace, out? But there was no way to explain it, especially in front of Xiahou Chengyu.
"Get out of the way!" Xiahou Chengyu shouted at the guard.
The guard groaned inwardly and said with a straight face, "Your Highness, the Cold Palace is forbidden by His Majesty. No one is allowed to trespass. Please …"
Before he could finish, Xiahou Chengyu shot him back. "The Cold Palace is the Cold Palace, and this is this place. His Majesty did not restrict my freedom. Can your words represent His Majesty? Are you older than His Majesty? "
The guard hesitated and looked around. This was indeed not the Cold Palace. The key was that he could not explain that it was His Majesty's order.
"Get lost!" Xiahou Chengyu shouted angrily and walked over with her chest puffed out.
The guard reached out to push her away and almost bumped into her chest. He was so scared that he quickly stopped, not daring to touch her body. As he retreated, he said in a low voice, "Bring Zhan Ruyi back to the Cold Palace!"
"Let me see who dares!" Xiahou Chengyu shouted angrily. Her figure flashed, and she used her arts to force her way over. The guard who had opened his arms to block was pushed away by her. Xiahou Chengyu's cultivation level was not low.
In an instant, Xiahou Chengyu was already in front of Zhan Ruyi. Silver Frost and White Snow were scared out of their wits, standing in front of Zhan Ruyi.
Zhan Ruyi pursed her lips. She had guessed something.
"Two lowly servants dare to block me?" Xiahou Chengyu shouted angrily.
Silver Frost and White Snow were scared out of their wits, but they did not dare to move aside, afraid that Xiahou Chengyu would hurt Zhan Ruyi.
But Zhan Ruyi said lightly, "The two of you, step down!"
The moment she opened her mouth, Xiahou Chengyu slapped Silver Frost and White Snow, causing them to fall to the side with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Before Zhan Ruyi could say anything, Xiahou Chengyu stepped forward and slapped Zhan Ruyi's face. Zhan Ruyi fell to the ground with a thud.
The guard and the others stepped forward in shock. The palace maids beside Xiahou Chengyu quickly stopped them, surrounding Xiahou Chengyu and Zhan Ruyi. Consort Li was also among them.
In fact, Consort Li was also a little scared.
E Mei pointed at the general and shouted, "Who dares to offend Her Ladyship? Let's see!" With a swoosh, she pulled out her sword and placed it on the general's neck.
The commander complained, but Emei wasn't feeling much better. She coldly glanced at Consort Li. She could guess that this matter had something to do with Consort Li, but now that things had reached this point, as the personal maid of the Empress, she could only do this.
Anger! Staring coldly at Zhan Ruyi on the ground, Xiahou Chengyu's heart was filled with endless rage.
After being in the inner palace for so many years, no matter how stupid she was, she still had some wits about her. Previously, she had thought that Consort Li's words had some ulterior motive, but she had never imagined that the so-called rumors were true. This slut that had been banished to the Cold Palace could really freely enter and leave the Cold Palace, freely and freely in this elegant environment. Humiliation, she felt endless humiliation!
From Consort Li's words, it seemed that everyone knew about this rumor except for her. She thought about how she had arrogantly walked back and forth in the inner palace. On the surface, a group of women treated her with respect, but in reality, countless people laughed at her behind her back. Just thinking about it made her collapse. The Qing Zhu had disregarded the rules and humiliated her. How could she endure this? What did he take her for? A beast that was worse than a pig or a dog?
Confirming this rumor, she couldn't help but think about what Consort Li had said. This slut wanted to return, this slut wanted to give birth to a child for His Majesty. What else did this slut want? Just thinking about it made her shudder. The next step would be to replace her, to replace her son!
Also, everyone knew about this rumor, but did the Xiahou family really not know? What did the Xiahou family mean by hiding it from her?
She instinctively thought that it was very likely that the Xiahou family had intentionally kept the news from her!
At this moment, her entire world was shaking. She felt as if the whole world was lying to her. Grief, grief, and more grief!
Little did she know that although the Xiahou family knew about it, they did not keep the news from her. It was because the Qing Zhu had done it secretly, and there was no need to keep it a secret. And the reason why the Xiahou family did not tell her was very simple. They wanted to prevent a situation like this from happening again. To the Xiahou family, they could just turn a blind eye to these small problems. There was no need to make a big deal out of it. It was unavoidable that the Qing Zhu liked Zhan Ruyi. Just strolling around the Cold Palace was not a big deal. It was not worth mentioning!
Zhan Ruyi stood up shakily.
Pa! Xiahou Chengyu gave him another slap. Zhan Ruyi's body staggered a little. This time, he was prepared and did not fall. However, the other side of his face had a bright red handprint.
"Slut! Who allowed you to leave the Cold Palace without permission? " Xiahou Chengyu shouted angrily. She wanted Zhan Ruyi to say it personally. She wanted to see how the Qing Zhu would explain it!
Zhan Ruyi remained silent.
Pa! Another slap. Xiahou Chengyu: "Not going to say? This Queen can execute a slut like you right now for defying the imperial decree! "
Zhan Ruyi still did not speak.
Pa, a loud slap.
Pa! Another resounding slap to the face.
Blood dripped from the corner of Zhan Ruyi's mouth, but he stood there, allowing the slaps to land on his face again and again.
Seeing that she was protecting that man and not speaking, and even pretending to be affectionate in front of her, Xiahou Chengyu was so angry that he wanted to kill her. However, he did not want Zhan Ruyi to die too easily. After another slap, he shouted, "Slut, kneel!"
His snow-white clothes were stained with blood. Zhan Ruyi slowly and silently knelt in front of her.
"Boohoo …" Yin Shuang and Bai Xue were sobbing at the side, but they were stepped on by Xiahou Chengyu's men.
Shua! Xiahou Chengyu suddenly took out a treasured sword and stabbed it out. Without mercy, without hesitation, it pierced through Zhan Ruyi's shoulder. Fresh blood flowed as the sword stabbed into Zhan Ruyi's body. "Slut, if you don't speak, This Queen will kill you!"
The general who had the sword pressed against his neck was so shocked that his soul almost jumped out of his body. If Zhan Ruyi really died here, he could not imagine what the consequences would be. Even Emperor Qing would not spare his life. There was a high chance that all the people here would be buried with Zhan Ruyi!
Seeing Xiahou Chengyu's madness, knowing that she was His Majesty's most beloved woman and still daring to use his sword, the general realized that he could no longer wait for His Majesty to arrive. This woman had completely lost her mind!
Taking advantage of E Mei turning back to look, he suddenly struck, knocking away the sword in E Mei's hand. He ordered angrily, "Save him!"
At the same time, he kicked E Mei's abdomen, sending her flying. Then, he sent a palm strike at Zhan Ruyi. A powerful palm strike landed on Zhan Ruyi. He was indeed a veteran of the Imperial Guards. Although it looked like he was attacking Zhan Ruyi, he had actually sent Zhan Ruyi flying back, freeing him from the sword in his shoulder that could threaten his life at any moment.
Zhan Ruyi flew back, blood spurting from his shoulder. The surrounding guards also drew their swords and spears, sending Xiahou Chengyu's men flying. Two of them quickly caught Zhan Ruyi, each holding an arm as they quickly retreated.
The general moved in a flash, sending a palm strike at Xiahou Chengyu. His goal was still to help Zhan Ruyi resolve the danger.
Xiahou Chengyu was enraged. Someone actually dared to attack her. She suddenly turned her head and sent a palm strike.
Boom! The ground cracked in an instant. The general's cultivation was slightly lower, and he was sent flying by Xiahou Chengyu's palm strike.
Xiahou Chengyu also staggered a few steps, but she still had no intention of letting Zhan Ruyi go. Her other hand threw out a sword, aiming for Zhan Ruyi's life. But the general's palm strike had more or less bought Zhan Ruyi a chance. Then, the people who had come to protect Zhan Ruyi waved their weapons and parried Xiahou Chengyu's sword. But Xiahou Chengyu's cultivation was truly extraordinary. The sword she threw still knocked over a few people.
In the chaos, the Imperial Guards rushed out, snatching Yin Shuang and Bai Xue away.
Xiahou Chengyu didn't care about Yin Shuang or Bai Xue. All she wanted was to kill Zhan Ruyi. Her figure flashed, and she charged at Zhan Ruyi, who was being protected by a large group of people. That spirit was as if she was looking down on an entire army.
"Magic-Breaking Bow!" the general who had been sent flying shouted.
Shua! A group of people protected Zhan Ruyi as they quickly retreated. The people in the front row took out their Magic-Breaking Bows, aiming at Xiahou Chengyu and the group of people behind her. They forced Xiahou Chengyu and the others to stop in the air.
"Are you all trying to rebel? This Empress wants to see who dares! " Xiahou Chengyu was about to go crazy with anger. Not only did someone attack her, they even dared to point so many Magic-Breaking Bows at her. Ever since she married into the Heavenly Palace, she had never encountered such a thing.
"This general has committed the death penalty! I don't intend to live any longer. If Your Highness dares to barge in, I'll see what happens! Generals, listen up! If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility alone. Anyone who dares to barge in will be killed without mercy! "the general who had been sent flying shouted.
The moment this order was given, the Imperial Guards no longer had any scruples. Their killing intent soared, causing Concubine Li and the rest to tremble in fear.
At this time, Zhan Ruyi had already been snatched back into the Cold Palace by a group of people. At the same time, another group of Imperial Guards appeared outside the palace walls, all of them drawing their Magic-Breaking Bows, ready to shoot any trespassers.
"You … you …" Xiahou Chengyu pointed at the Imperial Guards, trembling with anger. To her, this was a great humiliation. The Imperial Guards did not treat her like the Empress at all. If this matter were to spread, it would be a great humiliation!
Everything that had happened at this moment was more serious than all the humiliation she had suffered in her life combined.
In the Li Palace, Lord Qing, who was pacing back and forth between the pavilions, was thinking about the manpower he had instructed Sima Wentian to deploy. The Ancient Desolate Wasteland was within the Southern Army's territory. In order to coordinate with Pojun's plan, they had to be more careful when deploying manpower in Niu Youde's territory.
Shangguan Qing, who was holding the Star Bell, suddenly changed his expression. He rushed to Lord Qing's side and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the situation is not good. The Empress has found the Heavenly Consort in the valley behind the Cold Palace!" Although Zhan Ruyi had been crippled, he still addressed her as Heavenly Consort Zhan Ruyi in front of Lord Qing because he knew that in Lord Qing's heart, Zhan Ruyi was not crippled.
Lord Qing's hair stood on end. In an instant, he threw all the important matters to the back of his mind. He turned around and asked, "How is the Heavenly Consort?" His first thought was that Xiahou Chengyu would harm Zhan Ruyi.
The Star Bell in Shangguan Qing's hand did not stop. After a while, he replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress has made a move on the Heavenly Consort. The situation is urgent!"
"Slut!" Lord Qing's eyes widened in anger. He pointed at Shangguan Qing and scolded, "What are the Cold Palace guards doing?"
Shangguan Qing said helplessly, "The valley outside does not belong to the Cold Palace. The Empress suddenly passed by. No one has the right to stop her!"
