Chapter 253 Ye Zhou notifies Fan Fu that the plan is advanced
Princess Pingyi's beautiful face was now as cold as if covered with a layer of frost. Her eyes, which should have been full of tenderness and agility, were now wide open as if they were about to spit fire.
Her clear and pleasant voice pierced through the noisy environment like a sharp sword and resounded throughout the entire space: "You bunch of useless things! I have fed you for so long in vain! With so many people, you can't even take down a few of them? You are simply a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Every word was filled with endless anger, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
Princess Pingyi, who was usually elegant and noble, was completely engulfed by anger, and her image became majestic and fierce. Various weapons were scattered on the ground around her, some of which were stained with bright red blood. The air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood and a suffocating atmosphere of tension.
At this critical moment, a sturdy man in black clothes strode in hurriedly. He quickly came to Princess Pingyi and lowered his voice to persuade her urgently: "Your Highness, the situation is extremely dangerous now. Please evacuate here first!"
Princess Pingyi seemed to have ignored his advice. She still looked up proudly, her eyes firm and blazing, like a burning flame: "I am in my own princess residence, why should I evacuate? I don't believe that I can't deal with these guys today!"
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the emperor in the palace suddenly learned that Murong Zixi and the King of War of Dongyang Kingdom had personally visited the princess's residence. He was immediately anxious and worried, fearing that his beloved Xier would suffer even the slightest harm.
So, the emperor ordered Eunuch Su to lead the elite imperial guards to rush to the princess's mansion without hesitation.
When Eunuch Su cautiously stepped into the princess's mansion, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face, making him gasp.
What came into view was a horrific scene: the huge courtyard was in chaos, and the originally neat bluestone floor had now been dyed dark red with blood, which was shocking; those well-trained archers were lying in a pool of blood, some with twisted and deformed bodies, obviously having lost signs of life, and some had their eyes closed, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Faced with such a tragic scene, Eunuch Su's heartbeat accelerated sharply, but he still tried to restrain his inner fear and panic, and quickened his pace towards the front hall.
Walking into the front hall, Eunuch Su immediately saw a man and a woman standing outside the battle circle.
They were calm and composed, like outsiders, and were not affected by the tense atmosphere around them at all.
Especially that man, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and there was an innate majesty and domineering between his brows, which made people feel awe.
The woman next to him was beautiful and elegant, with an otherworldly charm in her every move.
This calm and composed demeanor is truly eye-catching.
Eunuch Su took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and took a few steps forward.
He raised his head and said respectfully: "I guess this must be the famous and powerful War King of Dongyang State! And the beautiful woman next to you must be the princess who has been wandering outside for many years and whom the emperor has been thinking about day and night?" When saying this, Eunuch Su's tone was both affirmative and mixed with a subtle hint of temptation.
Hearing what Eunuch Su said, Murong Zixi blinked her lively big eyes slightly. She did not answer directly, but looked back at the other party with a deep and calm look.
This silent response contained endless power, which made Eunuch Su feel a sense of pressure and even dared not to look at it.
Just a moment later, Eunuch Su quickly returned to normal, with a flattering smile on his face. He bowed deeply to Murong Zixi and said in a slightly flattering tone: "I am here on the orders of the Emperor. Please invite Your Royal Highness the Princess and the King of War of Dongyang Kingdom to the palace for an audience. I hope you two will follow me to the palace." His voice was soft and gentle, showing his humility and respect.
After saying this, he slowly turned his head and stared at Princess Pingyi with a sharp gaze. His deep eyes seemed to hide endless thoughts and emotions, which were difficult to fathom.
The face that was originally as calm as water was now showing ripples, as if there were thousands of words that he wanted to say, but in the end it only turned into a sigh.
"Princess Pingyi..." he murmured softly, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his voice.
Then, his eyes gradually became more and more complicated, showing both dissatisfaction with the princess's behavior and a hint of imperceptible pity.
"They are distinguished guests who have come from afar, and yet you, Princess, treat them like this. It really undermines the grace and bearing that a princess of the Chu State should have. The Emperor has ordered that Princess Pingyi be confined to her residence for half a year. She is not allowed to step out of the princess's mansion without the Emperor's oral order." As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, as if he was very disappointed with the princess's actions.
As soon as the words fell, the whole scene fell into silence. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to speak easily.
Princess Pingyi's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with resentment and anger. She stared at the person in front of her, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
Eunuch Su bowed to Jun Feimo and Murong Zixi, and stretched out his right hand, making a standard "please" gesture.
Jun Feimo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, then he took Murong Zixi's hand without hesitation, and walked towards the door with his head held high and chest puffed out, striding forward.
The two figures gradually walked away until they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Looking at their departing backs, Princess Pingyi was so angry that she was shaking all over and her teeth were chattering. "Don't get carried away! Ye Zhou informed Fan Fu that the plan should be advanced."
