Chapter 564 - 218: Entering the Palace Late at Night! The Empress Secretly Learns New Poses!
The atmosphere on the street was utterly silent.
The prostitute and the guests stood dumbfounded, everything happened too fast just now, leaving them somewhat unable to react.
Looking at the charred body on the ground, the crowd’s faces were full of bewilderment.
What did that old man say just now?
Princely Heir?
"Is this Heir Chu from Prince Yu Mansion?!"
"No, it can’t be..."
Inside the pavilion, Yang Lin sat paralyzed on the ground.
Looking at Chu Heng, who had turned into beef jerky, his scalp tingled unnaturally.
He never expected Chen Mo to be so brazen, daring to kill Heir Chu in public!
He thought he was leaning on a towering tree, securing a smooth career path ahead, yet without reaping any benefit, that tree was cut down right in front of him!
Almost crushed him to death!
"Just now I said Mr. Chen lacks discipline, I’m afraid he didn’t take it to heart?" Yang Lin’s throat was dry, terrified of being noted by this baleful star.
"But speaking of it..."
"Causing such a huge mess, even with a Death Exemption Token, it’s unlikely to retreat completely, right?"
Crash——
The old steward crawled up from the rubble, dusted off his clothes, his expression dour, "Eunuch Jin, what do you mean by this? Chen Mo committed murder in broad daylight, the evidence is solid, are you intending to harbor the criminal?"
"I am, so what?" Eunuch Jin said indifferently.
"You should be very clear, what attacking a princely heir means!" The old steward squinted, said, "According to Da Yuan Law, he should be thrown into the Heavenly Prison, waiting for the Three Departments Joint Examination, not something your single sentence can cover up!"
Eunuch Jin shook his head, sighed, "It seems you didn’t understand what I said earlier."
"Hmm?"
Before the old steward could react, there was a sudden blur before his eyes, Eunuch Jin stood in front of him.
"Whether Chen Mo is guilty or not, how dare you, a mere commoner, meddle?"
"You’re just a guard dog from Prince Yu Mansion, what qualifications do you have to speak to me here?"
Boom——
The blue sleeves moved without wind, an overwhelming pressure poured out!
In an instant, the air seemed to congeal!
Crack——
The old steward’s bones made strange noises, his body gradually hunched as if a giant invisible hand was forcing him to bend!
"Outrageous!"
His old face turned bright red, and a flash of anger flickered in his eyes.
An invisible aura surged from within, with tadpole-shaped black patterns appearing at his collar, swimming like living things, climbing up along his neck.
"Hmm?"
"Not satisfied?"
Eunuch Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, the momentum became even stronger, the red lanterns along the street flickered uncertainly.
The old steward seemed to recall something, hesitated for a moment, but still suppressed his anger, the black runes faded away.
Bang!
Under a powerful pressure, his knees slowly bent, bowing to the ground like a defeated dog.
Eunuch Jin stood with hands behind his back, nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, looks more comfortable like this, do you have anything else you’d like to say?"
"..."
The old steward gritted his teeth, his eyes blood-red.
As a Heavenly Human Realm expert, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Chen Mo watched this scene, couldn’t help but click his tongue, making a Grandmaster kneel and kowtow?
This eunuch is far more arrogant than me!
Usually, Eunuch Jin always showed a gentle face, almost forgetting that he was the Chief Steward, Imperial Chamberlain, Director of the Rites, known as the "Inner Minister," at the peak of eunuch power!
Even Chu Heng, when meeting him, had to respectfully call him "Eunuch Jin!"
This old steward was indeed no different from a wild dog before Eunuch Jin!
Tap tap tap——
Dense footsteps approached from afar.
A group of armored soldiers came near, leading them was a burly man wearing fine steel armor.
Looking at the collapsed ruins before him, the burly man frowned, said solemnly, "Who dares to commit murder here?"
The old steward raised his head laboriously, his voice hoarse, "Vice Envoy Yu, Chen Mo attempts to murder the Heir, severely injuring him, committing an unforgivable crime, should be thrown into the Heavenly Prison immediately..."
Before he could finish, his throat was clenched by an invisible hand, his face turning purple, unable to say a word.
Eunuch Jin frowned, "Noisy."
"You say this is the Heir?"
Yu Yu poked the piece of beef jerky with his scabbard, somewhat disbelieving.
A soldier stepped forward, searched carefully, removed a jade plate from his waist and presented it to Yu Yu.
Yu Yu took it, seeing the word "Chu" on the jade plate, his breath halted abruptly!
"Damn, it’s really the Heir?!"
He snapped back to reality, realizing the gravity of the situation, hastily said, "Quick, call the healer, must be of Fourth Rank or above! Also, inform Prince Yu Mansion immediately!"
"Yes!"
Two soldiers quickly departed the scene.
Yu Yu raised his eyes towards Chen Mo, although they hadn’t met, the name was like thunder in his ears... but given the current situation, he couldn’t think too much, waved his hand, "First take the suspect back to the Military Prison, await punishment!"
Crash——
The soldiers moved in response, surrounding Chen Mo.
Lin Jingzhu stepped in front of him, coldly said, "I want to see who dares?!"
"Lin Catcher?" Yu Yu’s brows tightened, "Are you trying to obstruct official duties?"
"This case is already taken over by Six Gates, currently it’s your Military Prison obstructing official duties!" Lin Jingzhu’s eyes were sharp, tone stern, "Tell your men to stand down, or I fear you won’t bear the consequences!"
Yu Yu was about to speak when a leisurely voice sounded:
"What Lin Catcher said is correct, this matter is not something a mere vice envoy of the Military Prison can interfere with, stand down now and you might still have time, else don’t say I didn’t give you a chance."
