However, although the eunuch spoke harshly, he clearly did not want to actually bear the reputation of assassinating the crown prince.
After his fierce expression, he gave a sinister smile and once again tried to persuade him kindly, "Your Highness, the next patrol of guards won't be here for another quarter of an hour, so don't count on them. You'd better cooperate with us servants to avoid suffering."
As he spoke, the eunuch raised his hand, giving a suggestive glance to the eunuchs surrounding Huo Chengche.
The crowd's expressions immediately hardened, and they took another step closer to Huo Chengche, applying pressure and threats.
However, Huo Chengche remained calm and composed, holding the little baby with tears in his eyes. He lifted his eyelids, glanced at the eunuch, and then, under the eunuch's threatening gaze, suddenly chuckled and said in a light, mocking voice, "This eunuch, why don't you turn around and take a look first?"
Turn around and look?
The eunuch, who had been confidently staring at Huo Chengche's sinister smile, was taken aback. His heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he immediately turned to look.
Even with precautions, he never expected that someone would appear behind him without him noticing.
The next moment, before he could even see what was behind him, the eunuch let out a mournful wail and fell heavily to the ground.
Upon hearing the sound, the crowd surrounding Huo Chengche immediately looked in that direction.
In that instant when they were distracted, Huo Chengche pressed the little boy's head into his arms, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly leaned forward.
In an instant, a gust of wind howled past, followed almost simultaneously by a cry of pain. Swords fell to the ground with a clatter, and the eunuchs who had just been desperately surrounding Huo Chengche collapsed to the ground, curling up and wailing incessantly.
Just as Zhuangyou had taken down the leading eunuch, she heard this commotion. Her pupils contracted, and she looked sharply at her little princess. She saw Huo Chengche's back as he landed with the baby in his arms. His aura was ruthless and imposing, like that of a god descending to earth.
She glanced at the little eunuchs rolling on the ground. They had been knocked down almost instantly, and even she hadn't seen how Huo Chengche had made his move.
Zhuang You's eyes flashed as she looked at Huo Chengche, her eyes filled with disbelief and a surge of fear and defensiveness. She immediately went over and snatched her silly little darling from his arms, holding him tightly.
Huo Chengche didn't hold back on releasing the person. He wanted to interrogate this leading eunuch to find out who he was working for and how he dared to attempt an assassination in the palace!
His indifferent gaze swept over the person on the ground, then turned to Zhuang You, "You brought..."
As soon as Huo Chengche opened his mouth, he saw Zhuang You looking at him with a look of astonishment and wariness. She even took two steps back while tightly hugging the little baby when she saw him look over.
"What's wrong?" Huo Chengche raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Zhuangyou looks exactly the same as when Xuandi questioned him about who he was.
Huo Chengche had just thought of Xuan Di when he heard Zhuang You ask in a wary low voice, "Who exactly are you?!"
Hearing this incredibly familiar sentence, and even the tone of voice was incredibly familiar, Huo Chengche didn't even bother to force a cold smile.
He turned his gaze to the eunuch who had just been knocked down by Zhuangyou and walked over with a murderous aura.
"You, you all..."
The head eunuch was stunned by what had just happened before his eyes; he saw, in the blink of an eye, everyone in front of him had collapsed...
