Chapter 60.2: prince hao is forced to acknowledge defeat
He Yingâs expression changed.
She actually brought the Empress Dowager into this. Indeed, the Empress Dowager is currently not in the Compassionate Peace Palace, but only a few are privy to it!
The imperial guards were taken aback when they heard Su Xi-erâs words.
Is the Empress Dowager not in the Compassionate Peace Palace? Could it be that she is resting in the Beauty Palace?
~~~
Pei Qianhao raised an eyebrow as he watched the situation suddenly take a 180 degree turn.
She does have some capabilities, being able to last so long against this many people. If it had been an ordinary woman, they would have long been trembling as they lay prostrate on the ground, getting arrested immediately.
However, I have stayed in the room long enough. I can go out now.
~~~
Outside the room, the atmosphere was very tense. When He Ying saw that the imperial guards were in a daze, she couldnât help but berate them, âIt has been so long, yet you all still canât even seize a palace maid!â
With the reminder, the imperial guards walked towards Su Xi-er again. Just as they came within arms reach, the room door opened with a âkerchakâ.
Everyoneâs heart skipped a beat and their eyes instantly widened.
Isnât that the room Su Xi-er just walked out from?! Thereâs still someone inside!
He Ying glanced at Old Maidservant Li and sneered. âSo this is the great palace maid you have supervised. She has even hidden someone in the room. Maybe itâs a scandalous secret man sheâs having an affair with!â
As soon as she had spoken, an intimidating manâs voice could be heard.
âItâs the first time hearing someone discuss this prince in such a way. This manner of address seems to be rather interesting.â
A man with a tall figure walked out of the room and appeared in everyoneâs sight.
The palace maids and imperial guards had been shocked by the door opening, but the appearance of Prince hao had them sucking in a breath of cold air. This breath seemed to carry the chill of a frigid tundra, and was terrifyingly freezing.
He Yingâs expression totally changed as she immediately knelt down to pay her respects. âPrince Hao, please forgive me. This servant wasnât aware that you were in the room.â
âWords that have been uttered are like spilt milk; they canât be retrieved. Do you understand,
Miss He
?â Pei Qianhao purposely emphasised the words âMiss Heâ.
He Yingâs body trembled.
In the past, Prince Hao has never looked at me in the eyes. Yet the first time he has even spoken to me tonight, he used âMiss Heâ.
She knew that Prince Hao was already incensed.
How can a man in an eminent position stand being called by a scandalous secret man by others?
The more He Ying thought about it, the more afraid she grew.
If Prince Hao pursues this matter, I will definitely suffer since the Empress Dowager is not in the imperial palace to protect me.
âTell me, how should this prince punish you?â
He Ying raised her head and suddenly shifted her gaze to Su Xi-er. âPrince Hao, why are you not punishing Su Xi-er first? She killed Flower, and Flower was the Empress Dowagerâs darling. Since you didnât come to the Compassionate Peace Palace to visit the Empress Dowager, she could only play with Flower. Flower is dead now! Yet, you walked out of Su Xi-erâs room. Are you not scared thatâŠâ
âAre you not scared that you will make the Empress Dowager bitterly disappointed?!â
He Ying didnât voice out the last part. She knew that Prince Hao would understand.
Su Xi-er felt that He Ying had gone mad.
The Empress Dowagerâs and Prince Haoâs relationship was originally been something that couldnât be mentioned in the palace, yet sheâs secretly implying it in front of so many people. If she provokes Prince Hao, she would be punished on the spot.
âWhat is this prince scared of? Miss He, you are sticking your nose where it doesnât belong. You didnât look after Flower properly, letting it run out, fall into the well, and thus, die. I should be punishing you. Since you donât know how to look after it, what do you need your eyes for?â
He Yingâs whole body trembled.
Prince Hao wonât order someone to dig my eyes out, right? Donât tell me that heâs going to completely disregard the face of the Empress Dowager?
Pei Qianhao looked at the imperial guards at the side. âTake her to Yuchi Moâs place and order someone to gouge her eyeballs out.â
His solemn tone made it clear that he wasnât joking. Old Maidservant Li was frightened out of her wits.
He actually wants to dig He Yingâs eyes out! She is someone who serves the Empress Dowager!
âPrince Hao, this servant waits upon the Empress Dowager!â He Ying only hoped that she could save herself and mentioned the Empress Dowager.
