After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

The winter night was cold and the snow fell silently, covering the glazed tiles of the palace with a layer of silver.

In the council hall, the emperor was sitting at his desk reviewing memorials, and he looked a little tired in the candlelight.

The heavy wooden door was suddenly pushed open by an irresistible force, and the cold air mixed with snowflakes rushed in, breaking the tranquility in the hall.

Ren Chennan, wearing a custom-made dragon robe and holding a meteor spear, came into the council hall with his five sword-bearing guards and stood in front of his royal brother.

The emperor paused with his red brush, and the ink spread all over the memorial. He said unhappily, "Prince Nan, what do you mean by this? How can I allow you to be so presumptuous in my council hall?"

His words revealed his imperial majesty, and even this sudden change could not shake him in the slightest.

Ren Chennan sneered and walked slowly forward. Every step seemed to step on the emperor's heartstrings, and the air around him became increasingly solemn.

"My dear brother, why do you have to put on airs? The world should belong to the capable. In recent years, you have been defending that useless Prince Beiling. Are you planning to give him the kingdom? I came here today to help you get rid of it, so that you won't work hard day and night and damage your body."

The emperor was furious and slammed his palm on the dragon table. With a loud bang, the four treasures of the study on the dragon table flew everywhere. The ink spread quickly on the golden floor tiles like the spilled night, making a mess.

His eyes were wide open, his cheeks were flushed with anger, and his sleeves were puffed up, as if he was about to transform into an angry dragon and soar into the sky.

"Ren Chennan, how dare you be so rebellious! I have been lenient with you many times out of consideration for our brotherhood, but you are ungrateful and even more outrageous, trying to kill the king and seize the throne!"

The roar echoed in the empty council hall, carrying the Dragon Emperor's majesty and his grief at his brother's actions.

Instead of getting angry, Ren Chennan laughed. He gripped the edge of the dragon table with both hands like iron clamps. His pupils were bloodshot, as if a ferocious beast was flashing a bloodthirsty light in the dark night.

"Ren Chenyi, you forced me to do this. I told you that Ren Chenxi, that loser, has obtained the Emperor's Sword, which will endanger the century-old foundation of our Dragon Nation. But you are partial to me and even sent secret guards to monitor me. Don't think that anyone will come to save you, because everyone here is my people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall froze to freezing point, and the cold wind seemed to be carrying a depressing atmosphere.

At this time, Eunuch Li came in with a bowl of steaming white fungus soup. As if the tense situation in the palace had no effect on him, he slowly walked to the dragon table, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, it is windy at night, and I have prepared white fungus soup. Please eat some while it is hot to nourish your body. Don't let the cold wind at night invade your body."

Ren Chennan suddenly turned to the seemingly inconspicuous eunuch Li and roared angrily: "This place is guarded by my trusted men everywhere, how did a slave like you get in?"

The emperor knew that the situation was hopeless, so he said softly: "You have served me for many years and have been loyal to me. This royal family affair has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly and don't lose your life."

Eunuch Li's old face showed a resolute look. He bowed and said, "I have been in the palace since I was young and was often bullied. Later, I was fortunate enough to serve the emperor. Thanks to his grace, I was able to enjoy my old age. I swear to protect the emperor until my death."

"What a loving relationship between master and servant. Go to hell!"

Ren Chennan raised his hand and fired a gun, stabbing straight at the emperor who had no martial arts skills, but Eunuch Li's old left hand held the gun tightly, and the tip of the gun was shaking and could not move forward even an inch.

"Grandmaster level? You hid it well enough!"

Ren Chennan was gloomily shocked, but then he exerted force, the gun humming and his energy as strong as a dragon, trying to break free from the restraints.

However, Eunuch Li simply rotated his palm slightly, and an overwhelming internal force surged out from his palm, colliding violently with the spear force, shaking the entire hall.

Upon seeing this, the five guards rushed towards Eunuch Li like five lightning bolts, trying to help King Nan capture him.

But he only snorted lightly, and a circle of visible air waves suddenly rose around his body. The air waves contained an ancient and majestic power, like a mountain torrent or a violent storm, which instantly shocked the five guards and made them retreat again and again.

Some even rolled several times in the air before falling heavily to the ground. For a moment, the hall was in chaos.

Eunuch Li slowly released his left hand from the tip of the spear, and the spear bounced back into Ren Chennan's hand with a buzzing sound. However, he did not pursue him. Instead, he turned to face the emperor, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare you to let me and this traitor fight outside the palace, so as not to disturb your majesty."

The emperor was surprised, shocked by Eunuch Li's hidden talent, and moved by his loyalty to his master.

He nodded slightly, and that action seemed to contain thousands of words, but at this moment it turned into silent acquiescence.

When Eunuch Li received the emperor's signal, the aura around him suddenly changed, as if he had instantly transformed from an old servant in his twilight years into an unshakable martial arts master.

The heavy snow all over the sky covered the palace in a layer of silver in the night. Two polar shadows were looming in the flying snow, like the most intense music between heaven and earth.

Eunuch Li had a graceful figure, and every step he took seemed like he was stepping on an invisible staircase, light yet powerful.

A ball of warm internal energy gathered in his palm, which carried the essence of decades of boyhood skills. Although he raised his hand seemingly harmlessly, it actually contained the power to destroy the world.

Ren Chennan was like an enraged beast; the tip of his gun flashed with cold light and made a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

He attacked fiercely, inflicting fatal damage and trying to suppress the hidden old eunuch with absolute force.

Amid the flying snowflakes, the duel between the masters became more and more intense, and every collision would make the surroundings buzz.

Eunuch Li's boyish skills are well hidden. Wherever the palm wind passes, snowflakes are stirred by his internal energy and fly all over the sky, forming a vortex-like snow curtain, just like an immortal walking on the snow.

The seemingly slow palm technique could cleverly dissolve the attacking edge every time, causing the sharp tip of the gun to draw silver arcs in the air, but it was never able to get close.

The Meteor Spear was extremely powerful, the sound of it breaking through the wind was sharp and piercing, and every strike carried the momentum of a landslide and the earth splitting.

He was looking for a flaw as fast as lightning, but the old eunuch's figure was erratic, as if he had merged with the wind and snow. His attack was as fierce as a dragon but he could hardly touch the opponent at all.

Afterwards, the two men fought faster and faster, leaving only the whistling sounds of gun shadows and palm winds, echoing in the silent night sky.

The Meteor Spear carried with it the force of thunder and lightning, but it was always gently deflected by Eunuch Li's seemingly gentle palm technique.

The snowflakes swirling around them formed a dense vortex that wrapped them up. They were like two powerful gods of war, fighting a life-and-death battle in the world of ice and snow.
