Chapter 91 Heng Heng
Following the sound, she saw a sturdy man wearing a red narrow-sleeved suit and a bright armor, walking towards her with a ferocious look.
Shen Yue narrowed her eyes and retorted:
"May I ask, are you the head of the Jinwu Guard or the Crown Prince's guard? Regardless of which one you are, you are a servant. If you are a servant, why don't you bow to my Highness, the Great Qi Chengwang?"
"Chen Er!" Chang Feng frowned and glanced at her, whispering, "Have you forgotten what you promised me? Why don't you kneel down?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't kneel~"
Shen Yue replied softly, then knelt on one knee.
"Your servant, Shen Yue, greets all Your Highnesses. May His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years. May all Your Royal Highnesses the Princes live in peace and happiness!"
Her etiquette was so standard that no one could find any fault with it.
Immediately afterwards, the shadow guards behind him also knelt down.
"Well, get up." The leading prince responded lightly, but his face could not hide his displeasure.
Shen Yue stood up and glanced at him. Although this man was Xiao Yuheng's nephew, he was one or two years older than him. He had a pair of narrow eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he was cunning and sinister. He should be the current crown prince Xiao Ye.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Uncle, I will take you into the palace now."
"Wait a minute!"
Xiao Ye frowned and turned back, unable to believe that these words were spoken by the young guard in front of him.
Shen Yue bowed her head neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Highness, this dog slave has not yet saluted the prince."
"you……"
The man in red was so angry that his eyelids were twitching. He looked up at Xiao Ye for help, but Xiao Ye looked at him coldly and had no intention of helping him.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet, kneel on the ground, and shout respectfully: "Your servant Han Yi greets His Royal Highness King Cheng, may His Royal Highness live a thousand years!"
Xiao Yuheng, who had been silent for a long time, glanced at him, said "hmm", and walked towards the palace with Shen Yue.
Han Yi was immediately filled with indignation when he saw Xiao Yuheng was too lazy to even say "get up". He muttered to himself:
"What's so great about being a border prince? If that enchanting concubine hadn't been ill, you'd probably never be able to return to the capital..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind blew in front of him like thunder, and then his jaw was suddenly clamped.
A flash of white light passed by, and he felt a burning sensation in his mouth, and a chunk of thick, pink meat fell from his mouth.
Looking closely, it turned out to be his tongue!
At this moment, a burning pain came from deep inside the mouth.
Han Yi's face turned pale with shock in an instant, his pupils shrank sharply due to fear, his mouth opened wide, he wanted to say something, but he could only make a faint "ho ho" sound.
Xiao Ye, who was walking in front, also changed his expression and shouted hurriedly: "Stop! You slave, how dare you hurt my chief guard!"
Shen Yue had no intention of killing Han Yi. She grabbed his left wrist, twisted it a few times, and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"Your Highness, Han Yi is so audacious that he has spoken disrespectfully to Concubine Rou and the prince. I have punished him for you."
"Punish me for this? Are you worthy?"
Xiao Ye laughed out of anger. This little guard injured his chief guard in front of him. What's the difference between that and slapping him in the face? And he still had the nerve to say that he would punish him?
Chen Yue remained calm, "Of course, I'm not worthy. But Han Yi is the chief guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His every move represents the face of the Eastern Palace. Just now, he openly called Concubine Rou a witch. If His Majesty heard it, he might blame him and implicate His Royal Highness. Therefore, even though I'm not worthy, I have to punish him on your behalf!"
"you……"
Xiao Ye was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "You little guard, you have such a sharp tongue!"
Shen Yue took it as a compliment, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
At this point, the masters had nothing more to say and turned to leave.
But at this moment, Han Yi suddenly drew the sword from his waist, turned around and slashed at Shen Yue.
His arms were originally twisted tightly behind his back, and when he turned around forcibly, there was a "click" sound and his shoulder joint was immediately dislocated.
He could have followed the prince and achieved great things, but now that he had lost his tongue, the prince would not want him anymore. Therefore, he was determined to die together with the prince and used a fatal move.
This knife was packed with powerful internal force, the blade light was bright, and it was trying its best to chop Shen Yue into pieces.
It’s a pity that he knew nothing about Shen Yue’s speed.
But in the blink of an eye, Shen Yue avoided the blade, and the dagger in her hand was across in front of him, slashing across his throat like lightning.
In an instant, blood spurted out!
Han Yi's eyes widened, and before he could cover the wound with his hand, he fell to the ground with a bang. After struggling for a few times, he died.
All the princes were stunned. It was true that Han Yi was wrong, but the young guard should not have killed the prince's men in front of him.
How can a prince keep his dignity if he can't even protect his own people?
Xiao Ye's teeth chattered with rage. He stepped forward and drew his guard's sword. "You little slave! How dare you hurt someone in the palace? Prepare to die!"
Before the tip of the knife fell, something suddenly flew in the air and accurately blocked his killing move.
Xiao Ye looked down and saw that it was Xiao Yuheng's personal token.
"Uncle, what do you mean? Could it be that I, the crown prince, cannot even dispose of a servant?"
"Your Highness, you are too kind."
Xiao Yuheng's face showed no emotion, and his voice remained gentle, "Chen Er, tell the prince, why did you have the intention to kill?"
Shen Yue took a step forward and knelt down obediently.
"Your Highness, I don't know what's going on. This Frost Moon Blade won't obey my command. It's dragging my hand across Han Yi's face. I guess the Queen Dowager's dagger is spiritual. It knows its owner has been humiliated, and it can't wait to avenge her!"
Her expression remained calm, as if she had told the biggest truth in the world.
Xiao Yuheng tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise, and said in a deep voice:
"Prince, the dagger in Chen Er's hand is indeed my Queen Mother's Frost Moon Blade. This item is the Lingyuan clan's most precious treasure, and they cannot bear to hear anyone speak ill of its owner. Prince, please understand."
The princes watched Xiao Ye's face turn pale, then green, and then black, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweats.
Whether the dagger is spiritual or not is just an excuse for the emperor's uncle to protect the young guard. Could it be that if this dagger hurts the emperor one day, he will use this as an excuse?
The Crown Prince has regarded his uncle as a thorn in his side since he was young. After what happened today, he must hate him even more.
Xiao Ye looked at Shen Yue, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent, but soon, he suppressed his emotions and raised the corners of his lips.
"Uncle Imperial is right. Without further ado, I will take you into the palace."
"good."
Xiao Yuheng returned to the capital this time on the pretext of attending to his mother's illness, so after paying his respects to Emperor Qi Yuan, he hurried to Jiang Rou's Changchun Palace.
There is a rich fragrance in Changchun Palace.
The beautiful concubine, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, was leaning on a high couch, pretending to be sick diligently. From time to time, she opened her plump red lips, took the grapes handed to her by the palace maid, and chewed them gently.
As if she heard footsteps, she raised her eyes lazily.
After seeing who it was, her dull eyes, as silent as a dead fish, suddenly lit up with a lively brilliance, and she jumped up and down the stairs lively.
"Hengheng!"
