Chapter 24 Disfigurement

The palace has been busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner recently. Many eunuchs and palace maids have gone to help. However, Chu Ran is an exception. His status in the palace is too low, so even if someone is needed to help, it is not his turn.

However, Chu Ran felt relieved because of this. While everyone in the palace was very busy, Chu Ran became the one with the most free time.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Chu Ran is also thinking about how he should spend his first Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times.

Mooncakes are definitely indispensable. Chu Ran used some money to bribe the people in the kitchen one day in advance and stole the mooncakes from there.

Chu Ran counted them and found there were four pieces in total, one for him and one for Li Fu. As for the remaining two pieces, one was given to the old eunuch and one was left for Uncle Xing.

They hadn't finished the wine from last time, so Chu Ran planned to have a night of Mid-Autumn Festival where they would watch the moon, drink wine and eat mooncakes.

Chu Ran had a good plan, but when the day came, things went wrong.

Uncle Xing was too busy to come over, and even Li Fu was missing the entire day. He didn't come back until the evening, and no one knew where he had gone. The only person who was there was the old eunuch.

Chu Ran felt a little disappointed and sad.

He squatted at the gate, his chin supported by one hand, and looked up at the winding gravel road, hoping to see that familiar figure again.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Chu Ran's legs were numb from squatting, but no one showed up.

The old eunuch lay leisurely on the recliner, swaying gently. He looked at the bright moon above his head, which was rounder than a jade plate, and said slowly: "Don't wait, he has gone to attend the palace banquet tonight."

After hearing what the old eunuch said, Chu Ran stood up from the doorway, holding his knees. He paused for a moment before quickly walking towards the old eunuch.

"How do you know he went to attend the palace banquet? Do you know when he will be back?"

The old lady turned her head and glanced at Chu Ran. "Even if you come back, it's very late. Why don't we share the mooncakes?"

Chu Ran curled his lips, "How do you know I have mooncakes?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "I saw it a long time ago."

"Okay." Chu Ran muttered, went into the house, took out a mooncake, and handed it to the old supervisor.

"And the wine?"

"You are so old, and you still drink!"

The old lady retorted immediately, "Who said you can't drink at this age? Stop talking nonsense, bring out the wine!"

The old lady was eating mooncakes and drinking wine, and she seemed to be enjoying herself.

After eating a few bites of the mooncake, the old lady asked Chu Ran, "Why don't you eat it?"

Chu Ran said, "I'll wait for him to come back before eating."

The old lady snorted again, "Don't wait any longer. I don't know when you'll be back."

Chu Ran didn't say anything. The old lady saw that he was determined to wait for someone, so she ignored him.

Just inexplicably, Chu Ran's right eyelid suddenly twitched. Then Chu Ran pressed his heart and felt it beating violently too.

I always feel like something bad is going to happen.

That's really strange.

Suddenly, Chu Ran stood up. He stood up so suddenly and so quickly that even the old eunuch next to him was startled.

"You bastard, what are you doing! You scared us!" the old lady yelled at Chu Ran.

"I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, Chu Ran ran out like lightning. The old eunuch watched Chu Ran's back as he ran away and thought to himself, what are you doing? Hurry up and reincarnate.

Chu Ran ran so fast that he could even hear the sound of the wind blowing past his ears in the opposite direction of his running.

If he remembered correctly, Li Fu's face was disfigured at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet!

Although he didn't know what happened, he was determined to stop it from happening!

Tonight's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is held in Changming Hall.

There was singing and dancing in the Changming Palace, the sound of strings and drums was as bright as day, and the palace banquet had already begun.

However, before the palace banquet began, Li Fu was blocked in the darkness in the northwest corner outside the palace gate.

The third prince Li Gaoyou brought several palace maids and stopped Li Fu, not allowing him to enter the palace.

Li Gaoyou stretched out his hand and pushed Li Fu's shoulder, while pushing him, he said in a sarcastic tone: "Who allowed you to come? What qualifications do you have to sit with us?"

Li Fu looked at him coldly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.

"What are you looking at me like that?" Li Gaoyou frowned and said, "If you dare to look at me like that again, I will dig your eyeballs out."

Li Fu said, "Oh."

Li Gaoyou smiled, but soon his eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule. He stretched out his hand, pressed against Li Fu's chest and pushed hard, causing him to stagger back a few steps. "You are quite powerful. You don't think I wouldn't dare, do you? Come, hold up his two arms."

Two palace maids immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Fu's arms.

Li Gaoyou took a torch from another palace maid. He held the torch and casually swept it across Li Fu's face. The tail of the flame was burning as if it would burn people's skin.

At that moment, Li Fu did not close his eyes, and the look he gave Li Gaoyou became even colder and more sinister.

Li Gaoyou's anger suddenly rose up.

He quickly thrust the torch in front of Li Fu's eyes. The scorching flames burned his delicate skin, as if he was stabbing his face with a red-hot needle.

Li Fu closed his eyes uncontrollably.

Li Gaoyou sneered triumphantly, holding the torch and sweeping it across Li Fu's face more unscrupulously.

Li Fu finally closed his eyes and let Li Gaoyou touch his face. Suddenly, Li Fu opened his eyes, and the cold and sinister look in his eyes was like a man-eating wolf. An angry roar came out of his throat, and he suddenly pounced on Li Gaoyou.

Li Gaoyou was startled and staggered back a few steps uncontrollably, looking terrified and panic-stricken.

But soon, Li Gaoyou straightened his back and regained his spirit.

Because Li Fu, who had rushed over, had his arms clamped tightly by two adult eunuchs behind him. Not only that, after the struggle, something fell out of Li Fu's body.
