Chapter 147 Such a Threat

The secret guards stood still, staring ahead, until Li Yongquan turned back and signaled with his eyes again, then they slowly retreated out the door.

Wen Yu stood at the door of the inner hall. He paid attention to the situation inside the inner hall with his peripheral vision. When he raised his head, he suddenly made eye contact with the leading secret guard.

The secret guard's eyes were ambiguous. When he passed by Wen Yu, his steps paused, and then he quickly withdrew his gaze, and stopped at the door of the inner hall with the people behind him as if nothing had happened.

Wen Yu was standing on the inner side of the inner hall door, and all the other secret guards were outside the door. The door was open, and except for the pearl curtain, the scene in the inner hall in front could be seen clearly.

However, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the scene behind the pearl curtain from the door.

The secret guard at the door took a look inside and then looked away. He was close to Wen Yu and at this time he just kept his eyes fixed on Wen Yu.

Wen Yu still felt pain in his left foot, but he seemed not to notice the Shadow Guard's gaze and just stood there as per the rules.

In the innermost part of the inner hall, only red candles were lit. The candlelight shone on the wall, and the shadows of people swayed, and one could vaguely see what was going on inside. Wen Yu calculated the time that had passed, and the pearl curtain was as quiet as before. Seeing this, he secretly clenched his fingertips.

Shen Yu was still sitting on the edge of the bed. He was able to grasp the situation outside. Only after all the secret guards had left did he raise his eyes and look at Li Yongquan.

The chopping board in Li Yongquan's hand was already filled with the things he needed, a dust-free porcelain bowl and a clean white handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, I will not waste any more time. It is late at night now. It will be better for both of us if we finish it early. Your Majesty will also be able to sleep well later." Li Yongquan pulled out a dagger from his sleeve. The blade of the dagger was sharp, silver-white with a slight cold glow.

Shen Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly. He had learned the whole process of cutting blood from Wen Yu before. His eyes flashed across the dagger.

"Eunuch, your knife is rusty." Shen Yu unconsciously put his arm to the side, his palm facing up, and the sleeves of his gorgeous clothes hung down to cover his wrists.

Li Yongquan placed the porcelain bowl under Shen Yu's wrist. Hearing this, he glanced at the dagger in his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are joking. This is the Qiyi sword that was brought in as a tribute from the Western Regions. It won't rust for decades."

"The Qiyi Sword is used to kill animals." Shen Yu said, "It cannot be washed off with human blood."

Li Yongquan paused, glanced at Shen Yu, and said, "This is the precious sword that His Majesty gave you. If you don't like it, you can go to the Yangxin Palace and ask the emperor to change it. After all, there have been no problems so many times before. I am just following orders now."

As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yu's arm. Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not yet struggled, but in this very short time he had roughly estimated Li Yongquan's skill.

The Yue Kingdom was a martial arts country. From the old man in his seventies to the children and women, everyone in the country practiced martial arts. The same was true for the palace ladies in the Yue Kingdom, but their martial arts skills were mostly not as good as those of real masters. Most of them were moves to save their lives.

Li Yongquan is already old, and at the age of over 60, he has already accumulated a lot of skills. Shen Yu had heard Wen Yu talk about Li Yongquan's situation before, and now he is more certain that his martial arts skills are not low.

But it didn't reach the shadow at the tip of the shadow building. Shen Yu gathered strength in his right hand and fixed his sight on Li Yongquan's throat.

The old skin on the back of Li Yongquan's hands was wrinkled.

Wen Yu struggled at first, but his martial arts skills were gone, and he couldn't make much of a difference in Li Yongquan's hands. In the end, he was pinned down and bled.

Later he learned his lesson and stopped resisting, but now he is showing signs of fighting back.

Li Yongquan sneered secretly. He increased the strength of his fingers, and after firmly holding down Shen Yu's arm, he used a knife to push open his sleeve at the wrist: "My queen, please don't be so careless..."

The sleeve was lifted up, revealing a small part of the wrist underneath. The skin was clean, revealing only the thin purple veins, but there was no trace of the scars from the previous layers of wounds.

Li Yongquan was stunned when he saw this. He heard a loud sound in his ear and was hit on the side of his neck by an unexpected blow. That part of his body instantly lost consciousness, and half of Li Yongquan's body began to twitch.

"save……"

Li Yongquan suddenly felt something was wrong. He was about to knock over the porcelain bowl to call for help, but as soon as he made a sound, the black shadow in front of him grabbed his throat and pressed him onto the table beside the bed.

"Eunuch, you have done it so many times before without any problems?" Shen Yu snatched the Qiyi Knife, pointed the tip of the knife at Li Yongquan's eyes, and said, "Then you try it for me."

As he spoke, he thrust the knife into Li Yongquan's right eye. Li Yongquan was horrified, and he struggled so hard that the table shook.

Shen Yu's face turned cold. He dismantled Li Yongquan's arm and inserted the sharp surface of the dagger into the table, close to his cheek.

"Eunuch, don't worry, the secret guards outside will come in after you die. If you don't believe it, you can try it." The hand that was pinching Li Yongquan's throat suddenly loosened, and Shen Yu looked at him from above with a blank expression on his face.

The Qiyi sword was still against Li Yongquan's face. Li Yongquan's body was stiff, and the shock in his eyes made his body tremble continuously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I am just following orders. Your Majesty... Your Majesty asked me to do this, and I have no choice..."

Seeing that he had no intention of asking for help, Shen Yu pulled out the Qiyi sword. He grabbed Li Yongquan with one hand, pressed his body and pulled his arm over.

"Eunuch, there is no other way. You have to learn to think of a solution." Shen Yu took the tilted porcelain bowl and dragged his arm over the bowl in front of Li Yongquan, saying, "Otherwise I will think for you."

Li Yongquan's face turned pale, and he trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...don't..."

Shen Yu raised his knife and cut Li Yongquan's wrist, then pressed him down and let all the blood drip into the porcelain bowl.

Li Yongquan cried out in pain, but he didn't dare to make any loud noise. He swallowed the words back as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty has to eat blood bird's nest soup three times a week." Shen Yu lowered his eyes and looked down. As time passed, the bottom of the porcelain bowl was already covered with a layer of blood.

Li Yongquan's lips trembled. Shen Yu turned to look at him and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you here."

"Your Majesty will check the blood condition. Your Majesty, you are immune to all poisons, and you can't hide it by using my blood..." Before Li Yongquan could finish his words, Shen Yuqiang stuffed a pill into his mouth.

He subconsciously wanted to resist, but Shen Yu slapped him on the back and forced him to swallow it.

"This is your business. It has nothing to do with me." Shen Yu let go of the bowl only after he saw that more than half of the blood was already in it.
