Chapter 6: Chapter 37

Seeing the palace maids all collapsed on the ground, the Empress became even more terrified. "Someone! Someone, help me!"

She could only scream desperately, hoping to call the guards from outside.

Amidst her shouting, she struggled violently, her coiled hair being pulled into a messy tangle.

Meng Fuying simply grabbed her hair, and then the golden hairpin in her hand flew wildly across her body and head.

"Fly, fly, little honeybee, fly faster!" Thinking of how this vicious woman had actually intended to poison her into stupidity again, the fury in Meng Fuying's heart continued to rise. This woman was truly too detestable; if she hadn't cleverly discovered her scheme, she might have truly become a fool again.

A shocking patch of red had already appeared on the Empress's back, and her head had been poked with several bloody scratches. Her screams grew louder and louder, each one more miserable than the last.

"Ah! No, don't fly anymore!" The Empress was likely so overwhelmed by pain that she actually started shouting along with Meng Fuying's words, telling it not to fly anymore.

"Why won't it fly? It hasn't flown enough yet, let it fly a little longer." Meng Fuying was secretly amused, but she continued to act like a fool as she spoke.

A movie from the modern era suddenly came to mind: *Let the Bullets Fly a Little Longer.*

The golden hairpin in her hand continued to dance wildly; every time it landed, it left a "red hemorrhoid" on the Empress's body.

This time, she would make the Empress understand the principle that one cannot live by bringing disaster upon oneself, to see if she would still dare to harm others in the future.

In the shadows, the cold eyes of the observer finally showed a hint of amusement, both at her somewhat nonsensical words and her brilliant performance.

To hit someone with such righteous indignation—she might just be the number one person in the world. If he hadn't just clearly seen her small movement of discarding that medicine, he might have been fooled by her as well.

Thinking of her recent small movement, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly. He had seen with his own eyes that she had poured the medicine into her sleeve, but why did not a single drop seep out from the sleeve?

"Pain, pain, so much pain! Guards, quickly call the guards to pull this madwoman away! Quick, go call the guards!" The Empress's pig-screaming voice became increasingly soul-piercing.

The little palace maid who had been in the room with the Empress earlier struggled to crawl out to call the guards, but she had only made it halfway when she was knocked down again by a flying object. Her body twitched a few times, and she did not get up again.

Seeing her situation, the other palace maids did not dare to move recklessly. Although protecting their mistress was important, nothing was more important than their own lives.

Even if they were held accountable and heavily punished by the Empress afterward, they would not risk their lives right now.

The guards nearby couldn't help but shudder upon hearing those sounds, but seeing Sufeng's unmoved and calm expression, none of them moved forward.

The Prince's Consort was also inside, and even he wasn't worried; what reason did they have to worry?

As for the usually cold Sufeng, he suddenly felt that maintaining this calm expression was truly difficult. After all, he was not far from that battlefield, and his hearing was extremely good; he could faintly hear the voices coming from inside.

When Qingzhu, who was walking over, heard those sounds from afar, she was startled. She subconsciously quickened her pace. The closer she got, the more terrifying the screams became, and the fear in her heart grew. Could something have happened to her Master?

However, when she arrived at Fengqi Palace and saw Sufeng, she was stunned. Without asking how he was here, she only cried out urgently, "Master is inside!"

As she spoke, she rushed inside with a face full of anxiety.

"Don't worry, she's fine," Sufeng said, lightly blocking her.

"What's going on?" Qingzhu was startled again, looking at him with confusion. Sufeng was just like his Master, usually rarely involving himself in other matters; what was happening today?

Sufeng thought for a moment and then said in a heavy voice, "Go and call the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

His Highness's intention was certainly to make this matter a big deal; after all, the bigger the commotion, the more advantageous it would be for Miss Meng.

Qingzhu's brows furrowed slightly. She was still worried about Meng Fuying, so she hesitated. Hearing such sounds from inside, how could one not worry?

"This is His Highness's intention. His Highness is inside, so your Master will be fine," Sufeng explained in a low voice, naturally understanding her current mood.

Qingzhu's eyes widened, looking at Sufeng in disbelief. He said His Highness was here? What on earth was going on? However, seeing the solemnity on Sufeng's face, she chose to believe him. She didn't ask any more questions and quickly turned to rush toward Heshou Palace.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager arrived in a great hurry.

"Alright, that's enough, wrap it up. The Empress Dowager is here." Hearing the frantic footsteps, the corners of his lips twitched slightly again. He then used his Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission to shout to Meng Fuying, who was still fighting inside.

Meng Fuying was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood. It was the person in the shadows reminding her. However, the voice was too faint, making it difficult to discern the direction, and it was a slightly deep voice she had never heard before.

Who exactly was this person?

Thinking that she had done enough for today, and since the Empress Dowager had arrived, she should end the scene.

Thus, she quickly let go of the Empress and ran to a corner, waving her hands and shouting wildly, "Don't hit me! Don't hit you! You are all bad people!"

In the shadows, he was stunned once again. This woman changed too quickly. However, a trace of a light smile once again hid in the corners of his lips.

It was time for him to make his appearance, hehe...

If that woman knew that he had been watching her every move from the shadows, he wondered how she would react.
