All the beauties were brought to the huge square. This was the largest training ground in the entire palace, where Feng Chi usually rode horses and practiced archery. It was so large that it could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Bei Yutang discovered that besides the rest of them, there were many other palace maids in the square. Their group was unusually large, and they were all standing in rows.
When the beauties in the harem saw so many palace maids standing in the square, they were all surprised and became even more nervous.
They followed the guards' orders and lined up in rows like the palace maids.
Bei Yutang and Gesang stood at the back of the crowd, with beauties from other palaces standing in front of them.
Groups of guards surrounded the beauties and palace maids standing in the center of the square. This move not only frightened the beauties, but also the palace maids.
No one knew what was happening, let alone what was waiting for them next.
All the palace maids who had lived in the palace for a year or two had pale faces, as if they had already anticipated that their lives might be in danger today.
A quarter of an hour later, a large procession emerged. The man in the lead wore a black robe with dark golden auspicious cloud patterns embroidered beneath the hem. As he appeared, the field fell into silence.
Many people were attracted by Feng Chi's beautiful face and stared at him with infatuated eyes.
The next second, miserable cries of pain were heard from the crowd.
The sound woke many people from their fascination with Feng Chi's beauty. They looked in the direction of the scream and saw that many palace maids and beauties standing in the front had their eyes gouged out.
Soon, guards came forward and dragged all the blind palace maids and beauties away.
The scene just now alerted all the palace maids and beauties present, and they no longer dared to look at Feng Chi.
One look would kill you, who would dare to look?
Gesan was frightened and her hands tightly grasped Bei Yutang's sleeves.
Bei Yutang gently patted her hand, silently comforting her.
All the palace maids and beauties present lowered their heads and dared not look up.
On the high platform, the guard commander Long Er knelt at Feng Chi's feet and reported, "Your Majesty, all the young women in the palace are here."
"All of them?" Feng Chi asked softly.
"Yes."
"If one is missing, you will replace him." Feng Chi said coldly.
"Yes." Ryuji responded with his head lowered.
Feng Chi looked at the crowd below, his eyes sweeping over them. The woman was hiding among them. With so many people around, he had no interest in looking for her one by one. He wanted to let her come out on her own.
Feng Chi sat on the couch, leaning slightly, looking at the people below with a cold gaze, and said, "You have eaten my food, it's time to come out."
Feng Chi's voice was very soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.
When the palace maids and beauties present heard this, they were all confused and had no idea what he was talking about, with the exception of Bei Yutang.
Such a big fuss is really just to find her.
Bei Yutang secretly observed Feng Chi who was sitting in the upper seat. She couldn't tell anything from his face, but her intuition told her that this matter was dangerous.
Feng Chi saw that there was no movement below, but was not angry. A bloodthirsty sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
