Inside thePalace was a deathlike silenceEveryone's eyes were open wide in terror, looking at the sceneOther than dripping of blood landing on the bed, there was not another sound
Blood dripped from Fan Xian's clothes and the swordIt followed the eer's ear and wet half of the old woradually soaked into her clothes
The sword shi+ning with a cold light was set with unusual steadiness and coldness on the eer's neck
Since the inception of the country, this was the first time an assassin was able to penetrate so deeply into the Royal Palace and place a blade against the e the eunuch aces, everyone was stunned and frozenThey watched ide eyes as Fan Xian seized the eer, unsure of what to do
All of this had happened too quicklyFro fro out of the heavens like a God and heading straight for the bed to control the eer was no more than a few breaths worth of time
To be able to react so quickly and decisively in such a short period of tieousThe people watching this sight in shock, for some reason, felt a coldness from the bottom of their heartsIt was as if, at any ti sword and kill the eer
Fan Xian's expression was too calm and indifferentIt was as if it was a norer, ould influence the state of the world
”Send an order for the guards outside to stop attacking”
The deathlike silence inside the halloutside the hall sound particularly loudThe Sixth Bureau swords the internal guards
After Fan Xian had the eer under his sword, he didn't slon at allHe slightly bent his right knee and carefully hid his body behind the e sword flipped and rested on the eer's bloodstained face, he spoke to her quietly
His tone was cal in rebuttalEveryone felt itIf the euards outside and eunuchs inside the hall to stop attacking, Fan Xian er was, after all not a nordofei, she had experienced many years of political instabilityHer state of mind was steadyShe was not an ordinary elderly woer for nity and a powerful confidence at heart
The eer turned her face and looked coldly at Fan XianHer white hair was a bitan inherent prestigeIn a cold voice, she said, ”Traitorous thing! You dare to threateneveryone in the Palace
Fan Xian's heart juht that in such a wretched and dangerous situation, the ehHe understood in his heart that the eer had to es in the following events
The even more unexpected event caer had slapped Fan Xian across the face with the back of her hand
A faint red paler see across her neckShe gazed at Fan Xian with eyes filled with disdain and shamelessnessIn a cold voice, she said, ”You actually dare to killPalace was duer would provoke him so tyrannically while she was under his swordWas she not afraid that Fan Xian would actually kill her? Watching this scene, a few househt
The eaze coldly and bravely at Fan Xian
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the eer's wrinkled-filled face without a wordHe knehy this old wo so bravelyShe knew that if Fan Xian wanted to control the Royal Palace, he could not kill her at this er, after allShe was Fan Xian's true granduessed that Fan Xian would not act in front of so , she still had to maintain her co everything
…
…
Just as the ee thing suddenly happened inside Hanguang PalaceThe long silent Eunuch Hou, who had been at the side of the hall, suddenly floated up
He floated up incredibly fast but didn't charge toward Fan Xian and the ee hole Fan Xian had h Fan Xian's pupils, but he didn't dare leave the eer's sideHe could only watch as Eunuch Hou and a few other eunuch aces stopped a few people by the hole with a few slapping sounds
Eunuch Hou's palhtly around the Third Prince's throat
Yi Guipin was seized by a eunuch
Lady Ning swung the black dagger but was also surrounded by a few eunuchs
”Little Duke, don't be so rash” Eunuch Hou choked the Third Prince's throat and spoke respectfully with his head down
Fan Xian's hand held the sith unusual steadinessLooking at Eunuch Hou, a strange light flashed through his eyesIt was only now that he knew that this second in coh cultivation
Currently, Fan Xian controlled the eer, but Eunuch Hou and the other eunuchs controlled three people that Fan Xian cared a great deal aboutHow could the situation develop?
Everyone aiting for Fan Xian's decision
The e into her clothes was icy cold and htly
Fan Xian lowered his head and looked at the e time and then took a deep breathAll of the eunuch aces became alertThey didn't knohat he would do next
Fan Xian raised his face and furrowed his browsThen, he raised his right hand and brought it viciously down on the e outThis sound was even louder than when the eer covered her face in disbeliefA trail of blood flowed from the corner of her lipsThe old woman's teeth had probably been knocked loose
Everyone in the hall watched this sight wide-eyed and dumbstruckIt was like the slap had not only landed on the eer's face but also on their own faces and hearts
Who had been slapped by Fan Xian? It was the eerthe Erandmother! Yet Fan Xian dared to slap her!
This was a humiliation that could never be reer, it proved that he had thrown caution to the windIf I dare to slap you, I dare to kill you!
Fan Xian stared the e face and quietly said, ”Release theI don't want to repeat er's entire body treerShe also felt a chill that came from the depths of her heartShe knew that, in the end, she had underestirandson that was not surnae
She felt the sword on her neck tighten a bit morePerhaps it was only an instant or just a while before the e her er will call it out herselfLouder,” Fan Xian said
The ely, she called in her old voice to the outside of the hall, ”Guards, listen to my command, everyone is to stop!”
For soave the order, everyone seemed to let out a breath in the hallPerhaps Fan Xian's behavior made these people overly fearful that they would see the horrifying sight of a grandson killing their grander
Only Eunuch Hou, as choking the Third Prince's throat, furrowed his brows slightly, thinking about so
”It looks like Eunuch Hou really wants you to die,” Fan Xian said to the elanced at Eunuch HouThe four old eunuchs furrowed their brows and hed and released his hand
The Third Prince's terror had not settledThe wound he had been given by the assassins earlier began to bleed againHe quickly supported his , the three of them ran in panic to stand behind Fan Xian
Once the e around Hanguang Palace immediately disappearedIt was clear that the swordsmen who followed Fan Xian into the Palace had received orders earlier to not take the opportunity to attack back if the guards didn't act
All of the great wooden doors in Hanguang Palace were pushed open at the same timeWith a creak, the entire Palace became much more passableThe people inside the hall could clearly see the tense situation outside—guards with straight knives in hand surrounding Hanguang Palace, as well as countless bodies lying in the empty space outside the hall
The early autumn breeze outside the hall also blew in, cold and heavyHowever, it was not calThe smell of fresh blood came into the hall with the wind and directly assaulted everyone's nose
Dozens of cohout the hall as quickly as possible and surrounded the eunuchsA few of the powerful eunuchs from the internal court had no choice but to accept this sullen reality and be secured by the er shackles the Overwatch Council had specially er was in Fan Xian's handsHe had already proved that he would kill the eerIn such circumstances, how could these internal court aces resist?
Even for someone like Eunuch Hou, anted to resist, he was constrained by the bigger picture and could not do anything excessive
Fan Xian looked at his injury-ridden subordinatesHis broitched once againHis gaze swept acrossHe knew that although the battle outside Hanguang Palace had been short, a dozen loyal subordinates had died
It was i into the Royal PalaceTo only have to pay such a s Palace was already an ier was overcorazed across Fan Xian's sword and left a bloody irls loyal to the eer wore an expression of fear on their facesThey wanted to go forward to help but didn't dare er turned her head and stared at Fan Xian with a resentful and poisonous gaze”You are just like your mother, ambitions of olves! I want to see what you can do holed up in this Royal Palace”
Even if Fan Xian had captured the eer and controlled the Royal Palace, ould he do next? Everyone, including the black-clothed swords for his next order
Fan Xian aiting for news from the other three units and to hear about the action outside the Royal PalaceHe knew that success was not co, he and his people would fall at the last hurdle
In the process of waiting, he didn't sit around and do nothingHe looked coldly at the surrounded Eunuch Hou
Eunuch Hou's heart trembled as he silently circulated his zhenqi
Fan Xian nodded
Eunuch Hou's face drained of colorHe flipped his sleeves and prepared to killUnexpectedly, he raised his eyes to see a dozen little crossbow bolts shi+ning with black light heading straight toward hiht into the Palace would alert enereat deal of effort was put into the disguisesIt was impossible for everyone to carry a crossbowIt was only dozens of people with him that carried 10 secret crossbows
These secret crossboere pointed directly Eunuch Hou
Eunuch Hou gave a cryHis figure suddenly roseHe only rose threeTen crossbow bolts pierced deeply into his body, endlessly sucking blood out of his body
With a crash, Eunuch Hou fell to the ground, twitchingFilled with dissatisfaction, his eyes refused to close as he died
Fan Xian watched the scene coldlyAlthough he didn't know that Eunuch Hou was the Eldest Princess' trusted aide, instinct and the earlier scene s difficult and ordered his subordinates to shoot Eunuch Hou to death
At such a critical time, Fan Xian was not afraid to killHe would rather kill incorrectly than let one person slip through
Eunuch Hou's death sent the hall into a claainThe guards around the outside the Palace beca Palace
