The girl's escape made Eunuch De and the others even more frightened.
The group walked into Hui Nuan Pavilion, trembling with each step. By the time they reached the inner courtyard, their clothes were soaked through.
In the courtyard, the maids came and went, but no one paid them any attention.
Grandpa De kept saying "Hey, hey" but was met with a rebuff, which made him extremely embarrassed.
It was kind-hearted Granny Lü who saw Eunuch De smiling obsequiously at her when she came out. She thought to herself, "We are all servants, and we are all old. It's not easy for us." So she had the maids bring out a few pieces of old wooden stakes for them to sit on.
Finally, Granny Lü patiently explained in a low voice, "Please don't be offended, sir. In the current situation, even I, an ignorant servant, know that your visit is not for anything good. The masters joked all night and only rested this morning. No one would dare to disturb them now. Please sit here and wait patiently."
"Hey! Hey!"
Grandpa De was both moved and saddened, and tears welled up in his eyes.
From the morning court session until the sun began to set in the west.
Shang Xi woke up at night and heard Wu Shang say that Eunuch De had been waiting outside all day. So he didn't make things too difficult for the old servant. He washed up and came out.
"Ninth, Ninth King...!"
When Eunuch De and several eunuchs saw Shang Xiye come out, they were both happy and afraid. They immediately stood up, their legs numb from sitting, and prepared to pay their respects.
Shang Xiye quickly whispered to stop her, "Don't disturb the Princess!"
Grandpa De: "..."
The eunuchs: "..."
Shang Xiye glanced at the bright yellow imperial edict that Eunuch De was carefully tucking into his bosom, and said in a low, cold voice, "Leave the things here, and you can get out!"
"But, but this imperial edict is meant for Your Highness and Princess Chonghe to receive together," said Eunuch De, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He certainly wanted to leave.
But if he leaves without proclaiming the imperial edict and returns to the palace, he will also be sentenced to death!
Shang Xiye blinked her starry eyes and raised her hand to flick her wrist.
Eunuch De and the eunuchs behind him felt an invisible force strike their chests. Eunuch De instinctively let go of the imperial edict, which fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, they had already been sent flying out of the inner courtyard gate.
Shang Xiye reached back and grabbed the imperial edict from the ground, which was now in his hands.
After that.
Shang Xiye coldly ordered the people in the courtyard as if speaking to himself, "If they dare to step into the courtyard again, they will be sent to feed the beast army."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The sound of the guards' orderly but hushed replies echoed from all around the courtyard.
Although the sound wasn't loud, it startled Grandpa De and the others so much that they fell to the ground.
The group lay sprawled on the ground for a long time, too afraid to move.
A while later.
A young eunuch stammered, "Sir...Steward, what...what should we do now?"
"Let's go back to the palace! Let's go back to the palace!" Without thinking, Eunuch De blurted out, "Beheading is better than being torn to pieces by a ferocious beast!"
The young eunuchs quickly got up.
Several people helped the weak-legged Eunuch De and fled towards the outside of Hui Nuan Pavilion.
This side.
Ghost Face noticed that the mysterious old man's fingers were moving. It sensed that the old man was about to wake up, and this was another good opportunity to curry favor with its master.
So it ordered the ancestral beast that had returned from the south to personally guard the old man, and then it ran wildly into the city, went straight into the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and headed towards Hui Nuan Pavilion.
As they entered, they happened to run into Grandpa De and his group, who were helping each other out.
Grandpa De and the others: "!"
He was so frightened that he froze on the spot and didn't dare to move.
