Chapter 6: If I ask a question, I will kill one person!
She subconsciously took two steps forward and immediately opened her eyes wide in shock.
The people who came over were actually some young eunuchs and palace maids serving in the harem, as well as a few familiar faces. They were none other than the selected concubines who had entered the palace with her and lived in the East Garden with her.
They were all terrified, some even crying. They huddled together in groups of two or three as they were driven here by several warriors with swords in their hands. One of the guards stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, these people serve the emperor in the harem. We have captured them. If we question them, we will definitely find out the emperor's whereabouts."
Nan Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhu Feng's face darkened as well. He slowly took a step forward, and those people retreated tremblingly as if they had seen an evil spirit.
Everyone saw that he still had the knife in his hand and blood was still dripping from the blade.
Zhu Feng glanced at those people and said coldly, "Where is the emperor?"
No one answered him.
Zhu Feng's voice remained unchanged as he asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Still no one spoke.
At this moment, Nan Yan suddenly felt a little uneasy, because she clearly saw the veins bulging on the back of Zhu Feng's hand holding the knife. This was the look of him concentrating his strength before swinging the knife. She had just seen it in the bedroom.
The next moment, she saw the knife in his hand suddenly raised high, and before everyone could react, it turned into a cold light and swung forward with a swish.
"ah--!"
Then a scream was heard, and a young eunuch fell to the ground.
Blood spurted and dyed her eyes red.
Suddenly, there were screams of terror in the crowd. Several people fainted from fear, and the others all knelt down in fear, "Your Highness Prince Yan, spare my life."
"Mercy, mercy!"
Zhu Feng stepped forward, having just killed a man. His voice was as calm as if nothing had happened. He said, "I can ask again and again, but from now on, I will kill one person for every question I ask!"
“…”
"Where is the Emperor?"
The people standing in front of him were frightened out of their wits. Nan Yan looked at the little eunuch lying on the ground and immediately recognized that it was Shun'er who served them in the East Garden. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old and always had a smile on his face.
But now, he lay there, already cold.
Nan Yan's own body also seemed to be frozen.
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, a voice so sharp that it hurt people's ears. It shouted, "Your Highness, please spare my life. That person knows where the emperor is. Your Highness, please ask her!"
Nan Yan felt that the voice sounded familiar. She looked up and saw that it was none other than Concubine Li, who entered the palace at the same time as her.
She was standing in front of the crowd. Once Shun'er died, Zhu Feng would have to face her.
At this moment, she raised her hand while speaking. Nan Yan saw the direction of her finger, and it was pointing directly at herself!
