Xiuxian Work Log

In the heavily fortified imperial palace, a young eunuch walked quickly from a distance, looking anxious but controlling his expression.

After passing through one checkpoint after another, he finally reached the person who had recently killed his nephew and was ruthless and used any means to deal with his own sister.

It's simply outrageous!

The more hatred you feel in your heart, the more worried and afraid your body will be and will not be able to help but surrender.

After all, with such a ruthless person, there is no guarantee that you will be used and abandoned by him just because you hinder his interests.

The young eunuch told the man about the situation in Chenxi Palace, including the sudden appearance of the woman.

The man looked at him with a sullen and expressionless face and asked him to repeat it again.

The young eunuch repeated it again in fear.

Lower your head and wait for that person to speak.

I don't know how long it took, but an ambiguous voice came from above.

"You said that woman took my fifth brother's sword? And she was able to hide from the palace guards and get to Dawn Palace?"

"A woman was walking around my palace with a sword in her hand. You were so blatant and you didn't notice it! You only told me now?!"

"What on earth do you guys do for a living?!"

A heavy ornament was suddenly thrown towards the young eunuch. The heavy ornament drew an arc in the air, brushed past the young eunuch's face, and left a glaring bright red mark.

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! This servant deserves death! This servant deserves death!"

The minister next to him stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I have already ordered the soldiers to capture this woman. Please wait for a moment and wait for good news."

Only then did Cui Tingyu relax and asked someone to take the young eunuch away.

"In that case, you can go down first."

After the other party rolled down crying, Cui Tingyu and the minister smiled at each other.

"Fifth brother, that fool, even let a mere woman snatch away his precious sword. He doesn't even understand the principle of a gentleman being cautious when alone. He's just a warrior who relies on force but no brains."

Minister: "When the Queen Mother gave birth to Your Majesty, the weather was favorable and auspicious. But when the Fifth Prince was born, dark clouds gathered and the people resented. I think this change in heaven and earth explains everything."

Cui Tingyu smiled slightly and objected to the minister's tone.

"Ah—what's so special about the right time and place? Heaven moves with vigor, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. Fifth brother is used to being lazy and relaxed, and his family dotes on him, so that woman took advantage of him. It's just a pity for Fifth Brother's sword, it's a rare and fine sword in a century."

The minister said, "Your Majesty, do not worry. The soldiers will present the sword to you soon. A sword accompanies a hero, just as fine clothes suit a beautiful woman. Once Your Majesty receives the sword, your majesty will be even more powerful and majestic."

"Hahahahahaha, my dear, thank you for your compliment."

Seeing Cui Tingyu laughing happily, the minister returned to his original position with a smile on his face.

As time passed, Cui Tingyu's initial patience turned into increasing irritability. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he slammed the table with his palm and stood up.

"Why hasn't anyone come yet? Does it take so much time for a woman?"

"Someone is coming!"

"Where did all the dead people go?!"

Apart from the ministers beside him who were trying to persuade him, there was no other sound.

Cui Tingyu felt something was wrong and started calling his secret guards.

"Cui Yi! Cui Er! Cui San! Cui Si! Cui Wu! ..."

"Where did they all go—"

A body was thrown in, right in front of Cui Tingyu. The body hit the ground, and blood splattered from the wound all around, some of it even splashing onto Cui Tingyu's face.

"Cui Yi!"

Cui Tingyu took a closer look at the body and found that it was Cui Yi, the leader of his secret guards. He immediately realized that something was wrong and hurried to the minister who was skilled in martial arts.

The minister lost his composure when he saw this scene. He stood in front of Cui Tingyu, took out the dagger from his body, and pointed it at the woman who slowly came in from the door.

But at first glance, this woman doesn't look like someone with great martial arts skills. She has a pure and fairy-like appearance, and is cold and sharp. She looks more like a weak woman who is powerless!

But what was impossible to ignore was her pale blue dress stained with blood, which was so rich it looked like black and purple! This wasn't something she could achieve by killing just one or two people!

Cui Tingyu, who was behind the minister, looked at the face of the person who came and immediately remembered who she was!

"Are you Lin Qing, the maid who served Jiaojiao before?!"

His tone was firm, but he couldn't control the trembling of his vocal cords.

"If you step down now, I promise to give you whatever you want, even the position of Queen!"

The girl looked at Cui Tingyu as if she was looking at something surprising, with a puzzled tone.

"How strange! Who would have thought of becoming your queen? Wouldn't the next step be to become the emperor?"

"But it's a pity, I have no interest in being an emperor."

Cui Tingyu's heart just settled down when he was caught off guard by what the girl said.

"I'm more interested in your head."

After Cui Tingyu knew Lin Qingyue's purpose, he knew that he could not slow her down, so he could only ask the ministers to kill Lin Qingyue, and looked at Lin Qingyue with pity.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, I can only have someone kill you. It's a pity that you are so young and beautiful."

"Are there any of the three Cui sisters who are young and beautiful?"

The girl's light words made Cui Tingyu stand there for three seconds.

How did she know this? Did Cui Jiaojiao remember it? No, no, no, even if Cui Jiaojiao knew, she wouldn't tell anyone. It must have been Cui Cui who let it slip!

"Did Cui Cui tell you?"

Lin Qingyue quickly defeated the minister, who knelt down and kowtowed in surrender. Holding the man's dagger in his hand, Lin Qingyue looked at Cui Tingyu, who was babbling nonsense.

Cui Tingyu looked at her trembling all over, like a blade of grass in the wind.

"Did Cui Cui send someone to threaten me? Go back and tell Cui Cui that if you stop now and focus on protecting my safety from now on, I will make her the most honored woman in the entire Great Yan Kingdom!"

Lin Qingyue couldn't stand it any longer and swung the dagger at Cui Tingyu, slashing his throat. Blood spurted out like a stream of water, splashing all over the palace.

Even after falling to the ground, Cui Tingyu was still holding onto Lin Qingyue's clothes.

"Save me, I promise..."

Lin Qingyue raised his foot to break free from the restraints. The sword, with blood still dripping from its blade, emitted a cold light in the air, stinging the minister's eyes directly. The minister lay on the ground for a long time without looking up.

When he looked up after a long wait, he could only see corpses and the rebels pouring in to surround him.

Cui Yu was no longer in the Chenxi Palace, and only the lifeless body of Madam Cui could be seen.

As Lin Qingyue walked out, corpses littered the ground. Some were her own victims, those who had tried to stop her from killing Cui Tingyu. Many more were killed or forced to death by the rebels. A young eunuch, bloodstains on his face, lay sprawled on the steps, his chest pierced, the black hole oozing blood and flowing down the steps...

There was no road ahead. There was a palace, and beyond that was the outside of the palace. Lin Qingyue took a step forward, and an exquisitely embroidered shoe touched her forehead.
