"Miss Yun..." Eunuch Lin wanted to say a few words of advice, but the person had already walked away.
Eunuch Lin waved his whisk anxiously and followed with the imperial guards.
The scene was grand.
This attracted the attention of everyone in the palace, who looked at them with suspicion and scrutiny. Yun Zheng looked calm, and Eunuch Lin's old face turned red with shame.
He had never seen such a strong woman. What should he do?
Although Yun Zheng is a waste, her position in the emperor's heart should not be weak, otherwise why would he silently pay attention to her!
It is not right to ask the guards to grab the body now, nor is it right to just stand by and watch.
It's difficult.
He felt a little regretful that he had rejected Yun Zheng's request just now. If he had not refused, things would not have come to this point!
"Miss Yun, you've taken the wrong road. This way, this is the way to the Yangxin Palace, and that way is the way to the harem." Eunuch Lin's old face, which was painted pale, became anxious and shouted hurriedly.
Yun Zheng was at the fork in the road. After hearing what Eunuch Lin said, she took the road over there.
She dragged the corpse of an adult without any hesitation, but as easily as pulling a light rope.
The young palace maids were talking about it.
They were instantly silenced by Eunuch Lin's cold gaze.
Eunuch Lin threatened, "Watch your mouths! If you don't, I won't mind tearing your mouths apart!"
Upon hearing this, the young palace maids lowered their heads and trembled violently.
"Yes, Eunuch Lin."
Along the way, I attracted a lot of attention.
Before Yun Zheng arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Chu Chengyu heard that she was dragging the corpse of an old eunuch with her bare hands.
A handsome middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe raised his brows coldly and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"I heard that Miss Yun was assassinated in the palace, and the assassin was the corpse in Miss Yun's hand..." The man kneeling on the ground answered hesitantly.
Chu Chengyu frowned and asked, "Assassinated? What happened?"
The kneeling man immediately told Chu Chengyu about the matter.
Hearing this, Chu Chengyu's face became even more tense and cold.
"You said the person who died was an elder of the secret guards beside Heng'er?"
Chu Chengyu asked while staring down at the people kneeling below, with a sense of majesty and oppression.
"What I said is true."
"Call the Third Prince over!"
"yes!"
The guard stood up, bowed, and left the Yangxin Palace, where he happened to meet Yun Zheng and others.
The guard bowed slightly to Yun Zheng and left first.
Yun Zheng looked at him thoughtfully.
The imperial guards at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation saw Yun Zheng dragging a corpse and drew their swords in alarm.
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, Chu Chengyu's rather majestic voice came from the hall, "Yun Zheng, come in."
Hearing this, Yun Zheng let go of the corpse, pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped her hands, handed it to Yue Ji, and then stepped into the Yangxin Palace.
After not seeing each other for nearly half a year, Yun Zheng noticed at first sight that Emperor Chu Chengyu looked a little haggard, and there seemed to be a dark cloud covering his forehead.
This is obviously doom and gloom.
Yun Zheng pursed her lips.
"Zheng'er girl." Chu Chengyu stood on the high platform and waved at her. A genuine smile appeared on his originally serious face. "Come here and let me take a look."
Yun Zheng temporarily suppressed her emotions and walked towards him. She looked up and said with a gentle smile, "It's been a few months since we last met. Your Majesty seems to have become even more handsome."
When Chu Chengyu heard this, the curve of his mouth widened even more, and then he felt something was wrong, frowned slightly and glared at her.
"Girl, you're quite good at sweet talk, just like your father."
Before Yun Zheng could reply, Chu Chengyu sighed, "He has indeed grown a lot, and his brilliance is gradually showing."
Yun Zheng heard a hidden meaning in his words.
"Zheng'er, I have a request of yours."
She could vaguely guess what Chu Chengyu wanted to say to her. It was truly touching that a king of a country could use the word "request" to address a junior.
Yun Zheng is no exception.
What's more, they are elders with whom we have a certain relationship.
Yun Zheng looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, please say whatever you want to say."
Chu Chengyu's eyes dimmed slightly, and after a few seconds, he spoke, "Actually, I just heard about what happened to you in the palace. I also know who the culprit is, but I hope you can let him go this time for my sake."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to ask Zheng'er, a junior, for help. Isn't it you who decides all this?"
Chu Chengyu shook his head. "No, I can see that you are the kind of person who will take revenge for any slight. If you are determined on something, you will not give in easily."
She also gave him a feeling of deep taboo.
Just like her mother.
Chu Chengyu added: "Besides, you are their daughter, and I don't want to make the relationship awkward because of this matter."
"The Holy City Qualifying Tournament is approaching, and I don't want Heng'er, the only one with a chance of winning, to be caught up in a storm of negative public opinion at this stage..."
When Yun Zheng heard these words, her mind moved slightly.
If Chu Chengyu acted condescendingly and ordered her to let the assassination attempt go, she would probably not say anything openly, but would do something secretly.
But now he appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, and put it plainly to her, and she could accept it.
But——this matter cannot be easily dismissed!
"Your Majesty, do you know that the Third Prince Chu Yunheng has tried to assassinate me not once, but twice." Yun Zheng's smile faded slightly, and she said in a cold voice:
"I can spare his life, and I can also leave his reputation unblemished for the time being, but he must be severely punished!"
"Also, let me make it clear in advance that if he offends again, don't blame me for being merciless."
Chu Chengyu was quite shocked when she heard that Heng'er had tried to assassinate her more than once. After the shock, a strong anger surged in her heart.
This good-for-nothing!
How could he do such a ridiculous thing!
"Zheng'er, don't worry. I will definitely punish him severely and warn him. If he does such stupid things again, I will definitely... no longer care about his life or death!" Chu Chengyu said in a deep voice, and he almost gritted his teeth when saying the last sentence.
At this time, a voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has arrived."
"Let him in." A voice like thunder rang out in the hall.
It is enough to show how angry the owner of this voice is.
Outside the palace, the third prince Chu Yunheng's eyes flickered slightly. He swallowed and felt uneasy because he saw the corpse at the door.
This is his secret guard elder!
Father already knows?
Damn rubbish, how dare you file a complaint!
A ruthless look flashed in his eyes. After leaving the palace, he would make her regret it!
