Chapter 75 Killing Two People
These were indeed the words Guan Yi'an said yesterday to comfort Meng Huanyan. However, he never expected that retribution would come so quickly. In just one day, Meng Huanyan used the same methods against him.
Guan Yi'an was both angry and resentful.
He felt uneasy all over. When Eunuch Wan blew a breath into his ear, he wished he could cut off his ear. Now, this eunuch had touched him all over, and his skin was no longer clean. He didn't know how to wash away this humiliation.
Guan Yi'an didn't want to argue with Meng Huanyan anymore. This woman was crazy; you couldn't tell right from wrong from a madwoman.
His resentful gaze rose, like a cold pool under the moonlight, sending a chill down the spine of even the fearless Eunuch Wan.
"You damned eunuch, you damned castrated man, tell me! Which hand did you use to touch me? Your left hand? Your right hand? Or both hands?"
Since he can't cleanse himself, he should chop off the culprit's hand to appease his hatred.
Since the current emperor ascended the throne, no one has dared to call him a dead eunuch or castrated man in front of Eunuch Wan. Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wan's face twitched, and his initial intention to let the matter rest was thwarted by this remark.
He lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, slowly approaching, licking his lips: "Not just hands? I really adore Minister Guan's delicate skin. See this box of treasures? These were originally prepared for my young lady, but in the end, they've all been used by you. Who told me to favor you a little more..."
After saying that, his withered hand stroked Guan Yi'an's face and slowly moved to the wound on his back. His smile was like a viper's hiss, and his sharp nails suddenly pierced into the bleeding wound.
"Ah..." Guan Yi'an screamed. Under the intense pain, his hands broke free from their restraints. He grabbed Wan Gonggong's neck with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, smashing it into the back of Wan Gonggong's head.
Filled with shame and indignation, Guan Yi'an struck without restraint, knocking Wan Gonggong unconscious after a few punches.
Guan Yi'an kicked Wan Gonggong away. When she got up to put on her clothes, she found that her lower body had also been violated. Her anger surged to her head, and she lost all reason.
He had a sharp knife in the cuff of his outer garment, which he usually used for self-defense. At this moment, he pulled out the knife and stabbed it hard into Eunuch Wan's chest. Eunuch Wan, who had just fainted, was awakened by the knife and had not yet reacted before it was pulled out.
Then, the second cut, the third cut...
Grandpa Wan had more than a dozen holes pierced in his chest, and blood was gushing out. He went from waking up to dying in an instant, without even having time to ask a question, threaten, or plead for mercy.
This old eunuch, who had been a tyrant in the palace for over two decades, was once the nightmare of countless palace maids and eunuchs. In the end, however, he died at the hands of an official he had promoted.
When his consciousness faded, he couldn't make a sound; he could only stare wide-eyed at Guan Yi'an, which meant he died without ever closing his eyes in peace.
He was still thinking about the "get-out-of-jail-free card" he had in his room.
Unfortunately, it's no longer needed.
Even though Eunuch Wan was beyond dead, Guan Yi'an didn't put down the knife and continued to stab numbly.
Meng Huanyan coldly observed this scene and reminded him, "He's already dead. Didn't you tell me to be patient for now? Why can't you be patient now that it's your turn?"
Guan Yi'an stopped fighting in a daze, picked up the knife and stood up. His face was covered with splattered blood, and with his sinister eyes, he looked like a demon from hell.
"He's dead, but you're not."
Guan Yi'an approached Meng Huanyan step by step. Just then, a series of footsteps came from outside, and even the roof and windows were filled with sounds approaching.
Meng Huanyan pouted, "You're really slow."
However, it's not too late.
The door was kicked open, and Feng Ziyi, the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, took the lead, followed by Lord Chen from the Censorate, and then the guards and soldiers they brought with them.
The two adults glanced around the room, and Feng Ziyi said excitedly.
"It really is here, Lord Chen. I swore an oath, but you just wouldn't believe me. You wasted so much time. If you had come a little earlier, Eunuch Wan might not be dead yet."
Feng Ziyi looked regretful, but secretly thought it was just in time for him to come and die. If Consort Wan had been unharmed, the Emperor might have considered personal feelings and covered up this scandal, making a big deal out of it and letting it go.
But now that Eunuch Wan has been stabbed to death by Guan Yi'an, given the Emperor's personality, even if he knows that Eunuch Wan was at fault, he will not let Guan Yi'an off easily.
This fellow has committed murder; don't even think about competing with him for the position of Vice Minister of Rites.
He really has to thank the chivalrous person who wrote him the letter anonymously.
Otherwise, who would have thought that Guan Yi'an had such a deal with the eunuch? The letter only said that Guan Yi'an used his concubine to seduce Steward Wan, but judging from the current attire of these three people, none of them seem to be innocent.
Good heavens, the eunuch and the woman were already shocking enough, but now there's a man too... Oh dear...
Feng Ziyi secretly blamed himself for his lack of knowledge. He covered his face and peeked through his fingers. The concubine was wearing a nearly transparent light dress. Guan Yi'an had obviously put on an outer garment on the spot. Eunuch Wan was dressed properly, but his lower body was covered with all sorts of unsightly bedroom items, which were simply unbearable to look at...
He was utterly shocked, and the old-fashioned Lord Chen couldn't believe his eyes at all.
Lord Chen stared wide-eyed for a while before he reacted. After looking around, he pointed a trembling finger at Guan Yi'an.
"What happened? You, you, you killed Steward Wan?"
Who was Eunuch Wan? He had been by the emperor's side since the emperor was a child, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the emperor's most favored person. The emperor could go a day without seeing the imperial concubines, but he could not go a day without seeing Eunuch Wan.
These were veterans of three reigns, and they had to get Wan Gonggong's approval before they could see the emperor. They dared not offend such a powerful eunuch, yet Guan Yi'an killed him just like that.
When Guan Yi'an heard Meng Huanyan say that she had arrived very slowly, he knew that it was all this woman's doing.
He quickly regained his composure and replied righteously, "I killed him. Eunuch Wan was incredibly audacious, humiliating my concubine. When I caught him, he even spoke rudely to me. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. In my shame and anger, I killed him in a moment of passion!"
After he finished speaking, Meng Huanyan retorted loudly, "You're talking nonsense! It was clearly... you who took advantage of..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Guan Yi'an rushed in front of her and plunged the still-dripping dagger into her throat without hesitation.
She could no longer utter a word of protest, and collapsed limply to the ground, blood still gushing from her throat.
Guan Yi'an's icy voice reached her ears, "You slut, I thought you were forced, but it turns out you were having an affair with Eunuch Wan. Die! May you two, you two, reunite in the underworld!"
