The man in black before us had removed his veil; who else could it be but Eunuch Lü?
At this moment, his clothes were tattered and torn, and there was a lot of blood on his body. He looked extremely disheveled. You should know that his cultivation level was very high. In recent years, he had always been calm and collected when he went out to complete missions. When had he ever looked so disheveled?
Eunuch Lü wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Don't even mention it. I just ran into a mysterious expert at Ma An's place."
"What's going on?" The Empress also changed her previous playful expression, sat up straight from the soft couch, and the look in her phoenix eyes became even sharper.
Eunuch Lü said, "I secretly sneaked into the Imperial Hospital, but Ma An wasn't in bed. While I was searching for him in the room, a mysterious person suddenly attacked me..."
At that moment, a large black cat was perched on the windowsill in the distance, its tail leisurely curled up.
Zu An, outside Kunning Palace, opened his eyes and thought to himself, "As expected, the Empress wants to silence Ma An. But why?"
At this moment, the Empress inside frowned deeply: "His cultivation is even higher than yours? Since those two dead ghosts, Wei Dan and Old Man Mi, passed away, when did such an expert appear in the palace?"
Eunuch Lü was somewhat indignant: "That person's cultivation level may not be higher than mine. After we fought, I felt that his application of power and understanding of realm were not solid. It was only because he was tough and thick-skinned and extremely resistant to blows, and because I was worried about alarming the emperor, I could not use elemental combat techniques, so I suffered losses everywhere."
The Empress glared at him: "A defeat is a defeat. When did you start making excuses like this?"
Eunuch Lü's expression turned stern: "Your Majesty's reprimand is correct."
"You haven't been followed and discovered, have you?" The Empress suddenly got up from the soft couch, went to the window and looked outside. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no movement.
Eunuch Lü said, “Your Majesty can rest assured. With my agility, no one of my level can catch up with me except for Old Man Mi’s Sunflower Illusion. And now Old Man Mi is dead. Moreover, the defenses of Kunning Palace have been upgraded. If anyone were to follow us, the alarm would have been triggered long ago.”
The Empress nodded, then casually picked up the large black cat by the neck and pulled it into her arms: "You little rascal, you've been causing trouble for those female cats in the yard again. You're living a much more comfortable life than the people in the palace."
Sensing the deep resentment in her tone, Eunuch Lü dared not make a fool of himself by replying. After all, he had impulsively cut himself open years ago, and he didn't even have the confidence to comfort her.
"Meow~" The big black cat struggled a few times, then quieted down, enjoying the feeling of the Queen's long finger cot gently stroking its fur.
Zuan outside had a strange expression. Although he had experienced it himself last time, he still had to sigh, it was really soft... and big.
The Queen, carrying the black cat, returned to the room: "Did you glean any information from their tactics?"
Eunuch Lü glanced at the big black cat in her arms with a hint of jealousy, thinking to himself, "I have worked hard all my life and never enjoyed such treatment, but you, you beast, have enjoyed it first." He continued, "That man's moves are very varied, and I can't tell which school he belongs to. My biggest impression is that his body is very hard."
"You're very strong," the Empress suddenly chuckled. "The way you put it reminds me of someone."
Seeing her rosy cheeks, Eunuch Lü knew exactly who she was talking about, and his jealousy and anger were about to explode.
Rage from Lü Qi: +233 +233 +233...
The Empress made a casual joke, of course she didn't think that Zu An could beat Eunuch Lü like that. She sighed: "Now we're in a bit of trouble. I didn't expect that other forces would also be eyeing Ma An. I don't know if Ma An is alive or dead now."
Eunuch Lü said, "With such a skilled fighter in his room, he is likely in grave danger. Your Majesty need not worry."
"I hope so," the Empress said. "Keep a close eye on the Imperial Hospital's movements in the next few days, and report to me any unusual activity."
"Yes!" Eunuch Lü bowed. "Your Majesty, although we don't know who that mysterious person is, this is a good thing for us. Someone has helped us get rid of him, so Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the matter being exposed."
The Empress sighed, "If I had known earlier that Zu'an's blood essence could help me recover from my injuries, I would never have let you go to Ma'an to get that medicine. I was just worried that one day he would find out about it and turn us into enemies."
Zu An, standing outside the palace, was greatly shocked. Although the other party had not explained things in great detail, it did not prevent him from deducing the truth of the matter.
When the case of his affair with the Crown Princess came to light, he was imprisoned in the imperial prison. One day, someone poisoned his food. At the time, they couldn't find the culprit and were puzzled as to why the poison was not a deadly poison, but a poison that could make someone lose their mind.
Now everything makes sense. The Empress had always wanted to get rid of him because she was afraid he would blackmail her because of their affair. But she was also worried that he had said he had plans outside, and if she died, someone would reveal their secret.
So when she saw Chu Chuyan's plea for help, she pretended to appease her, but secretly she wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger.
That woman is ruthless!
Zuan was speechless. He had saved her before, and that was why he had physical contact with her. He never expected her to turn her back on him.
At this moment, Eunuch Lü spoke up again: "Your Majesty is overthinking it. Use him a few more times, and once Your Majesty's power recovers, he will lose his usefulness. Not to mention that he couldn't possibly know about this, even if he did, it wouldn't have any impact. Could it be that Your Majesty has developed feelings for him?"
