Xiao Shunyang’s pupils constricted as he rolled to the side.
When Su Cheng’s foot landed on the spot where he had been lying just now, even the limestone slab cracked.
If this kick landed on him, he would have long been shattered!
Su Cheng missed and hurriedly followed up with a second kick.
The attacks were too dense. Xiao Shunyang did not have the chance to stand up at all and could only try his best to block and defend.
His arm was numb and his shoulder was swollen.
If he had felt Su Cheng’s anger at the beginning, then at this moment, he had really seen Su Cheng’s killing intent.
Damn it.
What right did this guy have to attack him?
Did he really think of himself as Bai Xihe’s man?
No one could have her.
No one could!
Endless killing intent flashed across Xiao Shunyang’s eyes.
Just as Su Cheng was about to step on him again, he did not dodge and took Su Cheng’s kick!
Then, he grabbed Su Cheng’s leg with one hand and pulled out the dagger hanging on his waist with the other, slashing it at Su Cheng’s right foot! This was not an ordinary dagger. It looked light, but it could easily cut bones.
Since Su Cheng dared to touch Bai Xihe, he would pay the price!
“Stop!”
The Empress Dowager’s majestic voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Xiao Shunyang had grown up under the Empress Dowager. Hearing the Empress Dowager’s angry shout, he almost subconsciously paused.
In this moment of distraction, Su Cheng immediately retracted his foot, kicked away the dagger in his hand, and stepped down hard, dislocating his arm!
Xiao Shunvang’s exoression chanced and he let out a Dainful groan.
He picked up a stone with his left hand.
“Enough! Stop!”
Several experts rushed forward and separated the two of them.
Su Cheng still wanted to beat him up.
“Deputy Commander Su.”
Bai Xihe changed her clothes and walked out with a calm expression. She stopped him. “Please unseal Little Yunzi’s acupoints.”
Su Cheng glared fiercely at Xiao Shunyang, turned around, and returned to the door to undo Little Yunzi’s acupoint.
When he wanted to teach Xiao Shunyang a lesson again, Bai Xihe tugged at his sleeve and shook her head slightly.
The Empress Dowager pretended not to see it and said to Su Cheng, “It’s late. Deputy Commander Su, go back first. No one is allowed to leak anything about tonight!”
The last sentence was directed at the palace maids and the experts of the imperial palace.
Everyone agreed. “Yes!”
The Empress Dowager instructed the two imperial experts, “Send Deputy
Commander Su out of the palace.”
The two of them came to Su Cheng. “Deputy Commander Su, please!”
Su Cheng looked at Bai Xihe.
Bai Xihe looked at him deeply. “I’m fine now. Thank you for saving me in time,
Deputy Commander Su.”
Su Cheng took a step back and cupped his hands. He restrained himself and said, “I’ll take my leave.”
Su Cheng and the inner court experts left Zhaoyang Hall.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Xiao Shunyang on the ground and said sternly, “Take this evil creature to Fushou Palace!”
Fifteen minutes later.
Xiao Shunyang knelt on the cold floor.
The two inner court experts grabbed him. Eunuch Cheng brought over a basin of cold water and splashed it mercilessly on his face.
A bone-piercing cold entered his body, and Xiao Shunyang woke up.
“Guard outside,” the Empress dDowager said to the two inner court experts.
The two of them retreated.
Only the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Cheng were left in the bedroom.
The Empress Dowager looked at her former favorite grandson angrily. “Are you sober? Do I need to tell you what you did tonight!”
Xiao Shunyang said dejectedly, “No need. I remember.”
The empress dowager asked coldly, “Do you know your crime?”
Xiao Shunyang smiled bitterly. “I’ve liked her a long time ago and can’t let go. I know that this relationship can’t be tolerated in the world, but I can’t control my heart.”
The Empress Dowager said angrily, “Can’t you control your heart or your feet? You keep saying that you like her, but look at what you’ve done! If not for… if not for someone stopping you, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you would be struck by lightning!
“Don’t say that you drank too much! Don’t use drunkenness as a pretense! If you have ill intentions, you would use hard liquor to urge you! Xiao Shunyang, you’re so kind!”
Xiao Shunyang’s eyes turned red. He clenched his fists and questioned, “Why is it that Su Cheng can do it?”
The Empress Dowager said coldly, “What can he do? Can he save you and stop your crime?”
Xiao Shunyang gritted his teeth. ” You understand what I mean!”
The Empress Dowager snorted mockingly. “Alright, I’ll ask you a question. Are
you willing to risk the world’s condemnation to marry her?”
Xiao Shunyang said seriously, “I’m willing.”
The Empress Dowager sneered. ‘Oh? How? You have an official wife. Are you going to let her be a concubine? Or are you going to divorce your wife and marry again, and marry your own aunt and the current Grand Empress
Dowager?”
Xiao Shunyang hesitated.
The Empress Dowager paced the room and said casually,
“Let me guess. You want to be the emperor one day and only give your wife a concubine position before giving her a brand new identity and helping her take the throne.”
Xiao Shunyang clenched his fists.
“Have I guessed correctly?”
The Empress Dowager looked at him angrily. “Third Brother is the Crown
Prince. Even if your father goes, he will be the Emperor. It’s not your turn!”
Xiao Shunyang was finally angered. He looked up at the Empress Dowager and gritted his teeth. “The position of the Crown Prince belongs to me!
Grandmother should understand that Father wants to make me the Crown
Prince! ”
The Empress Dowager snorted. “Are you implying that I tampered with the imperial edict?”
Xiao Shunyang said nothing.
The Empress Dowager scolded angrily, “Scram back to your residence! Without my decree, you’re not allowed to take half a step out of your residence!” Xiao Shunyang stood up angrily and walked out without looking back.
The Empress Dowager looked at him and said coldly, “I won’t punish you tonight. It’s not that I can’t bear to attack you, but I don’t want the reputation of the Grand Empress Dowager to be implicated by you. You’re on your own!” Xiao Shunyang was escorted away by the imperial guards.
The commander of the inner court experts went forward and said, “Empress
Dowager…’
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes in pain and said with heartache, “If there’s a next time… you don’t have to report it to me. He’ll be treated as an assassin!”
The commander was stunned and cupped his fists. “Yes!”
On the other side, two experts sent Su Cheng to the entrance of the palace.
The two of them were the Empress Dowager’s trusted aides. They knew that the Empress Dowager was close to the Protector Duke’s Estate and were very polite to Su Cheng.
One of them took out a bottle of golden sore medicine and handed it to Su
Cheng. “Deputy Commander Su, you’re injured. Apply some medicine.”
Su Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said indifferently,
“It’s fine. Thank you. Take it back.”
Another person said, “The Empress Dowager will send someone to guard Zhaoyang Hall tonight.”
These words seemed to be telling Su Cheng not to worry about Bai Xihe’s safety, but they were actually reminding him not to sneak into Zhaoyang Hall again and let others catch him.
Su Cheng nodded.
He would remember this favor.
He turned and disappeared into the night. He said fiercely, “Damn Xiao Shunyang, I’ll cripple you one day!”
Zhaoyang Hall.
Bai Xihe sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze.
Little Yunzi applied medicine on her wrist with heartache.
He cursed the Second Prince a thousand times or ten thousand times in his heart.
If the Protector Duke had not appeared in time tonight, the Empress Dowager would probably have lost her innocence.
At this moment, the Grand Empress Dowager must have someone she cared about beside her.
Unfortunately, the experts of the imperial palace had surrounded Zhaoyang Hall. Any commotion would arouse their vigilance.
It was impossible for the Protector Duke to appear again.
“Master, if you feel uncomfortable, cry.”
Bai Xihe did not cry. She only picked out the baby clothes that Xiao Shunyang had ruined one by one.
“Go and get the material. I’ll make it again.”
She was so calm as if nothing had happened.
However, the more this was the case, the more worried Little Yunzi was.
After experiencing such a thing, how aggrieved and terrified was the Grand Empress Dowager?
Little Yunzi said, “Master…”
Bai Xihe said, “I want the blue one. The golden thread is almost gone. Go to the storeroom and get it too. Hurry up. I want to get it done before dawn.”
Little Yunzi choked and said, “Master…
Bai Xihe said calmly, “I’m not sad, and I don’t want to cry. I just want to make a few sets of clothes for Xiaobao.”
Little Yunzi secretly wiped his tears.
The Grand Empress Dowager was too lonely.
In the huge deep palace, there were no friends or children.
After a long 20 years, that young girl’s spirited heart had long died.
Little Yunzi went to get the fabric and needles.
Bai Xihe began to thread the needle.
Her wrist was red and swollen. Even her bones hurt when she moved.
However, she seemed to have lost consciousness.
She didn’t dare let herself stop or that endless loneliness would consume her.
Outside the palace, Su Cheng had already walked far away when he suddenly stopped. “Screw it!”
The two inner court experts were about to close the palace door when they suddenly saw Su Cheng turn back.
One of them asked, “Deputy Commander Su, did you forget something?”
Su Cheng looked at the two of them guiltily. “I’m sorry.”
With that, he raised his fist and knocked the two of them down.
Bai Xihe quietly made clothes.
Under the dim oil lamp, her eyes were so sore that she was about to cry.
Suddenly, there was the sound of fighting in the courtyard.
Little Yunzi stood up in fear. “Could it be that the Second Prince has returned?
Is he done?”
Despite his fear, Little Yunzi raised a stool.
“I swear… I swear to protect the Empress Dowager!”
Clang!
The hall door was kicked open!
Little Yunzi shouted and suddenly threw the stool in his hand at the other party.
The other party tilted his head and dodged. The stool hit the door behind him.
Little Yunzi took a look and was dumbfounded.
Bai Xihe did not look up and continued to make clothes.
“Bai Xihe!”
This voice…
Bai Xihe’s heart trembled as she looked up.
Su Cheng fought all the way and was covered in injuries.
As he stood panting at the door, his arm crossed the door frame. His eyes were deep as he asked,
“Are you coming with me?”
