"Asshole!" Murong Qingyun roared in anger, "How could there be such a secret underwater passage in this palace?"
After shouting, he looked at his trusted followers who stood with their heads bowed below, and shouted again: "How did you investigate in the first place? Didn't I tell you to thoroughly investigate the Prince's Mansion?"
The few close confidants who were already kneeling on the ground lowered their heads even more. This matter was indeed their negligence.
Murong Qingyun glanced with disgust at Eunuch Zhang, who was kneeling beside Murong Xiao, not daring to breathe, and said through gritted teeth, "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of keeping you here?"
Eunuch Zhang opened his eyes wide and looked at Murong Qingyun in panic, who had already drawn the sword from his waist.
Murong Xiao looked at Eunuch Zhang coldly. She hated betrayal the most in her life. Qian Yeming had always been very good to this eunuch, but this man actually betrayed his master at a critical moment of life and death.
Death was his only way out. Even if Murong Qingyun didn't kill him, she would have killed him. Such a fence-sitter must not be allowed to stay.
At this moment, Murong Qingyun had already drawn the sword from his waist and slashed towards Eunuch Zhang with extremely sharp sword force.
Murong smiled at Zhang Wei. She really wanted to see with her own eyes how this traitor would eventually pay tribute to his infidelity with his own blood.
But...that's not right!
When Murong Xiao felt the coldness on his back and tried to dodge in shock, it was too late.
The sword that was originally intended to chop Zhang Wei from behind had already slashed her mercilessly.
The sword slashed down at such a fast speed that Murong Xiao didn't even feel any pain. She just felt a chill in her arm, followed by a violent push that made her stagger.
At this moment, Murong Xiao felt a confusion in his mind and a buzzing in his ears.
In a panic, she saw her arm and sleeve being chopped off and flew away. As she stumbled, her arm fell on the white marble stairs and rolled down like a wine bottle, one step at a time, until it rolled down 999 steps and landed in front of a minister below.
It was not until I heard gasps and low groans from below that the coldness and numbness in my arms turned into heart-wrenching pain.
The severe pain triggered violent uterine contractions. Murong Xiao lost her balance and fell to the ground in the excruciating pain.
He supported his body which was about to faint, and looked with a pale face at the sword which was still dripping with blood and was held in Murong Qingyun's hand.
The silver-white sword shone coldly like snow, with traces of blood scattered on the tip of the sword, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, enchanting and dazzling.
Looking at Murong Qingyun with a ferocious expression, she could not understand why the man who always told her "having you in this life is enough" would so heartlessly chop off her arm in front of all the officials on the day he ascended the throne?
"Why?" Murong Xiao stared at Murong Qingyun, suppressing his body that was almost shaking with pain, and asked coldly.
Looking at Murong Xiao, who was bleeding profusely, a trace of heartache appeared in Murong Qingyun's eyes. However, it was only a trace, and it was fleeting, and was soon replaced by a bloodthirsty rage.
Murong Qingyun raised his slightly pale lips and said coldly, "Before I answer your questions, shouldn't you stop bleeding first? Otherwise... I'm afraid you won't even have time to listen to the truth before you die from excessive blood loss."
