Chapter 404: Everything Comes Together (2/2)
However, though he did, his mind was no longer on this matter.
”What happened? Why is she in such pain? Is there anything wrong with her?”
”You can rest assured. Her Highness is just in panic and anger because she was worried about Queen's health over the past few days. Her pregnancy is affected. She'll be ok after getting some rest, but she'd better be relaxed. She cannot get anxious and angry!”
”Fine, fine, fine. She cannot be anxious and angry!” Zhou Bao got panicky, totally unlike a super expert. Grand Protector's words were like golden rules to him. He nodded continuously, and said to Yan Yunfei, ”All right, Yunfei. Don't worry, I can handle this easily. Now, take a rest. You need to take a good rest, you hear me?”
”I...!”
At this time, Yan Yunfei gradually felt relieved and less painful. Therefore, she nodded gently.
”Good. God damn it! Is there no one to take care of my wife? What a shitty imperial palace!” Zhou Bao began to shout. Since people around him were men, to whom he did not want to leave his wife. Besides, some of them have ulterior motives.
While Zhou Bao was shouting, that Chancellor had summoned Eunuch Feng, who led Zhou Bao and his wife into the palace. He said something to him and the latter left in a hurry. After a little while, Eunuch Feng led several panicking maids here.
”Your Excellency, the rain is gradually becoming heavier. Her highness is pregnant, so I suggest we can send her to the side palace. I believe there's not much danger there. Now, the palace is in chaos, and I can only find these maids temporarily,” said Eunuch Feng.
”Fine, that's nice!” Zhou Bao's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Grand Tutor, saying, ”Do you want me to save the Emperor?”
”Yes, can you do it?”
”Of course I can, but there is one condition!”
”What?”
”You must protect Yunfei personally. I don't trust others!” Zhou Bao emphasized every word he said and stared at Elder Chen. Rising his hand, he grabbed Elder Chen with an invisible force.
”What are you doing?!” After being caught by Zhou Bao, Elder Chen was enraged and shouted angrily.
”I don't trust you, so I'll make you stay beside me!” Zhou Bao said coldly. ”You'd better follow me if you don't want to die. From now on, you need to do nothing except follow me. Don't think you can hide your tricks from me. I'll save the Emperor, and you must go with me. You're going to die, once you're 10 feet away from me. Keep your hands in your sleeves. Even if you make a gesture, I'll kill you too.”
”Then you'd better kill me now!” Elder Chen burst into anger. Although he knew nothing about martial arts, he had a high status in Jin, which was almost the same as the Three Lords. No one dared to offend him, so he never expected that Zhou Bao would be so rude to him.
”I would if you want!” Zhou Bao was not swayed by Elder Chen's words. At present, Yan Yunfei was the most important, thus he could not put Elder Chen, an unstable factor, by her side. Therefore, his eyes became cold and he said, ”Either you accept my decision, or you die. You have no other choice!”
”You...!” Elder Chen's lips were trembling, and he could not utter any word because of anger.
”My time is limited, so I'll count up to three. Nod your head if you agree, otherwise, I'll kill you. One, two...!”
”Fine!” As Zhou Bao counted up to ”two”, Elder Chen suddenly shouted. He said, ”For His Majesty's safety, I'll follow you. But...!”
Before he could list his condition, Zhou Bao had already turned around and walked towards the Queen's bedroom. Elder Chen had no choice but to follow Zhou Bao. Grand Tutor looked at them with a complex expression. He also turned around and ordered those maids to support Yan Yunfei to the side palace.
”Grand Tutor, you see...!”
”You two stay here. At present, we can do nothing but rely on Zhou Bao. Never have I expected this situation to occur!” Grand Tutor Pei Tianming, sighed. He followed those maids closely, and his back looked much bleaker than before.
”Old goat, don't feel aggrieved. Although I have no evidence, I'm sure that this matter has something to do with you. Damn you! You're really generous to put so much effort into killing Yan Yuntian. You almost succeed, and that's quite powerful of you!”
”I don't know what you are talking about!” Elder Chen said coldly.
”Come on. Don't pretend to be calm. Your heartbeat and breathing have already betrayed you. Don't treat me as a fool!” Zhou Bao added, ”Furthermore, my current cultivation is powerful enough to sense your spirit. Don't think that you can conceal your secret from me. Also, talk freely. Your voice cannot be heard by the people 10 feet away!”
Elder Chen fell into silence. As he did not know martial arts, he could not figure out whether Zhou Bao's words were true or false. ”Why don't you kill me at once since you suspect that I have something to do with this matter?”
”Why should I kill you? You didn't attack me!” Zhou Bao laughed out. ”But you're really out of luck to bump into me when Yunfei is pregnant. But don't worry. If you're obedient, I won't harm you!”
