Feng Jiuqing placed his hand on the armrest and clenched his slender and fair fingers. His dark eyes stared in the direction of Diao Yang Palace.
Thick flames flickered. "I have said that if anything happens in Diao Yang Palace, you are to inform me first. Li Huaisheng, as an old man in the palace, are you ignoring my words? "
Li Huaisheng's heart was in his throat, and his palms and the backs of his hands were covered in sweat.
His legs turned to jelly and he cowered in fear. "I … I had informed Your Majesty when the first palace maid went missing. At that time … At that time, it was Lady Yue Xiu who served the Empress who rejected me … saying that Your Majesty is busy with official business every day and shouldn't disturb Your Majesty with such a small matter. She also reprimanded me severely, so I … I … "
"Bang!"
The Emperor slammed the armrest of the dragon carriage.
Everyone was scared out of their wits. They knelt down and didn't even dare to breathe.
In the depths of his dark and seeping eyes, a gloomy flame was like the breaking of dawn as it cried out.
Feng Jiuqing's beautiful lips curled into a faint smile.
He looked at Li Huaisheng. "In Eunuch Li's eyes, my words are not even comparable to a maid?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare … I …"
"Take him away and beat him to death!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty, please have mercy! "
Li Huaisheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body was completely cold.
His eyes were wide open and filled with fear.
His ten fingers gripped the soil hard, and his head knocked on the ground, making a "dong dong dong" sound.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have mercy! Just look at me … Your Majesty! "
Two men in black came forward and pulled him away. How could Li Huaisheng's desperate struggle resist the well-trained Embroidered Uniform Guards?
His cries for mercy gradually faded away, and his mournful cries were exceptionally terrifying in the cold night.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling were trembling as if they were walking on thin ice.
"Qiu Yang."
"Your Majesty."
"Go and investigate."
"Yes."
"Ah!"
Suddenly —
A scream pierced the sky.
The Emperor's hand that was holding the armrest of the dragon carriage tightened.
The next moment.
Shen Yueji and Double Happiness were pulled out from the bushes.
Seeing Shen Yueji, the Emperor's pitch-black eyes flashed with some surprise.
He reached out to her and said, "Come here."
Shen Yueji obediently walked in front of him and placed her small hand on his big one. He pulled her up the dragon carriage and she obediently sat beside him.
Feng Jiuqing removed his cloak and draped it over her. "Didn't I tell you to rest in the Perching Phoenix Palace? Why are you here?"
Shen Yueji still had a lingering fear in her heart. Her beautiful face was filled with panic after the shock.
"This concubine is worried about Your Majesty, so I came to take a look."
She lowered her head in annoyance, like a child who had done something wrong: "I've made the Emperor worry."
Feng Jiuqing patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "What did you see just now?"
"I saw … I saw …"
Shen Yueji's face paled when she heard him ask about what happened just now.
Her bright eyes flashed with the panic that came after the fright.
Seeing her like this, Feng Jiuqing tightened his grip on the back of her hand. "Speak."
"A … A white shadow flashed by. It had an ugly face and was full of nails. And … and it smiled at this concubine … "
