How could Eunuch Qin not have thought of this?
He had thought that by helping the empress complete this task, he could live a peaceful life in the palace. Little did he know that the empress would eliminate any loose ends!
He was already halfway to his doom.
Eunuch Qin trembled as the empress left him no room to speak. "Emperor, in my opinion, these two individuals failed to serve Consort Xiang properly and should be executed! It will serve as a warning to others!"
"Is it to serve as a warning, or is the empress trying to silence them?" Su Yingxue's lips curved into a cold smile.
"A lowly commoner, when do you have the right to question me? How insolent!" The empress shouted, her eyes filled with anger.
She ordered her men to capture Su Yingxue, but Chu Yihan stood by her side, gently placing his hand on her shoulder. When the guards and palace servants saw this, they immediately retreated and shrunk their necks, not daring to have any thoughts of touching Su Yingxue.
