Chapter 228 - 226. The Return of Murong Qing II (1/2)
Third-person POV
The faces of the guards drastically changed from Murong Qing's words. But they decided to tolerate Murong Qing's childish behavior
”Miss Murong, this servant doesn't have the authority to execute your order. The matter of the Royal Palace and the people live in it are managed by His Majesty Emperor, Her Majesty Empress, and Her Majesty Empress Dowager. Except having permission from His Majesty Emperor, reconstructing the Royal Palace is strictly prohibited.” The guard spoke with a stern voice.
But then, a loud crisp sound echoed and caught the attention of the nearby servants. A hand mark was plastered on his right cheek but he didn't budge even an inch. He kept smiling and stared at Murong Qing.
”How dare you to tell me what to do. Just destroy it, cousin brother will understand. He will even thank me to do it for him.” Murong Qing growled at the guard and walked towards the tower.
The guard only smiled and continued to follow her. after a few minutes, Murong Qing finally arrived at the front gate of Fei Hong Palace. She stared at the sign that was hanged on top of the gate.
”This…Cousin brother wrote this…and it is her name…” Murong Qing mumbled as her blood boiled from anger.
'That witch! She fooled cousin brother to this point! Outrageous! If it is not because of the eyes, I would have killed her with my own hands!' Murong Qing exclaimed in her heart.
She pointed her finger at the signboard, ”Take it down.”
”Our apologies Miss Murong. We can't do that without any permission from His Majesty Emperor.” The guard bowed to Murong Qing.
”I tell you to take it down!” Murong Qing scratched his face and left another mark on his face.
The other guard looked at him worriedly and he decided to step in.
”Miss Murong, His Majesty Emperor must have been waiting for your presence. How about Miss Murong ask His Majesty Emperor's permission when you meet him?” the other guard suggested with a gentle smile on his face.
Murong Qing glanced at the other guard and nodded her head. He guided her into the Fei Hong Palace and gave a signal to his friend that was scratched by Murong Qing to get moving. his friend nodded his head and ran to catch up to them.
Suddenly, a shiver ran down their spines. They had practiced martial arts for their whole life so they could feel a bloodl.u.s.t aura that burst out of nowhere. They glanced at each other behind Murong Qing's back and confirmed that it wasn't only one of them who felt the aura.
After a few turns, Murong Qing's face instantly brightened when she saw a handsome tall man sitting under a pavilion. She picked up her speed and extended her arms.
”Cousin brother!”

(Flashback)
When Murong Qing suddenly appeared at the main gate, a guard quick-wittedly sprinted to the Main Palace where Weisheng was currently torturing the ministers. He ran with all of his might and when he was near the Main Palace, he saw Qiyi walked out of the Main Palace's gate with a wooden box.
”Imperial guard Qiyi! Imperial guard Qiyi!” the guard waved his hand to get Qiyi's attention.
Qiyi turned his head as he heard someone called his name.
”What is it?” Qiyi asked him indifferently.
The guards halted in front of Qiyi and saluted before he spoke.
”Miss Murong had come again,” the guard panted heavily.
Qiyi knitted his brow and nonchalantly replied, ”Throw her out like usual.”
”She has the Phoenix Badge in her hand!” the guard quickly said before Qiyi could take another step away.
Qiyi widened his eyes and grabbed the guard's collar, ”Explain!”
