"Your Excellency, I did not see it."

Qi Huang sneered, "How dare you hit my people!"

She took out the token given to her by Mo Yunzhao from her bosom.

"Open your dog eyes wide and see clearly what this is! Get out of the way right now!"

The leader's pair of malicious eyes sized up Qi Huang.

"What kind of lousy brand is this? You dare to fool me? I think you're the right age. Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, all eligible women are within the selection range. Quickly remove your veil and let me see your appearance. Also, tell me your birth date and time!"

Qi Huang was surprised that this group of people didn't recognize the palace's official plaques.

He was speechless.

He shoved the sign into his pocket and sneered, "You think you're worthy of knowing my birth date and time?"

The air pressure around my body dropped suddenly.

But she was not a martial artist after all, and although her aura was terrifying, she was far from being able to suppress these soldiers who had actually killed people.

The leader burst into laughter.

He looked at the riding whip with great interest.

"Young lady, you have quite a temper. We're all rough men, and we're not gentle. I advise you to cooperate obediently, or don't blame us for taking matters into our own hands."

They spent most of their time in military camps and were naturally rough and direct.

Hearing this, he became even more unruly.

Some people are already itching to get started.

"Young lady, it is your great fortune to have met us. If your birth date is auspicious, our master can send you to the palace as a concubine. When you receive the emperor's favor and become a concubine, you will be grateful for our actions today."

As he spoke, he spurred his horse forward and reached out to pull the veil off Qi Huang's face.

Qi Huang, condensing spiritual energy in her hand, slapped him across the face.

It flung the person off the horse.

"You insolent fools! I am an alchemist personally appointed by the Emperor. How dare you offend me? Do you have a death wish?"

Everyone was startled.

One of them said, "Sir, I have indeed heard that the Emperor recently appointed a young woman as an alchemist. Let's retreat."

The leader was so humiliated that he couldn't bear it.

"Just because she says so doesn't mean it's true. The selection of candidates was at the suggestion of the Eldest Princess, and even the Emperor listens to her. Even if what she said is true, how dare a mere alchemist disobey the Eldest Princess? I think she's courting death. I now suspect that she helped the candidates escape. Go! Arrest her on the spot and interrogate her thoroughly!"
