Under the moonlight, the Fourth Prince, dressed in red with long hair draped over his shoulders, was without his eyepatch. His eyes and lips had turned a dark red, and his voice was soft and eerie, completely different from during the day, as if he had become a different person. Due to the dim moonlight and his disheveled hair, the Imperial Guard didn’t initially recognize him.

"What are you all staring at? Hurry and capture this monster! He’s the one who practiced Evil Cultivation, causing this massive outburst," Xuexue shouted loudly from the side.

The Imperial Guard, noticing this person’s strange and eerie demeanor, completely different from ordinary people, was taken aback. They had even forgotten about Long Rui, and, holding weapons, surrounded the Fourth Prince.

The leader of the Imperial Guard, holding a large blade, shouted at the Fourth Prince, "Where did this monster come from? Dare to intrude the Imperial Palace in the night? Are you tired of living?"

"Imperial Palace?"

The Fourth Prince glanced around and just realized, in his anger, he had chased all the way into the Imperial Palace. He was shocked; he couldn’t let others see him in this state.

"Stop pretending! You snuck into the Imperial Palace at night and don’t even realize it!" The leader of the Imperial Guard sneered coldly, then sneered again, "Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving, leave your head before you go."

The Fourth Prince, upon hearing this, was infuriated. These little bastards, during the day they act like lapdogs, wagging their tails, eager to lick his shoes, and now they dare speak to him like this, it was outrageous.

"Courting death."

The Fourth Prince uttered a low curse and unleashed his full martial power in a strike...

The experts in the Imperial Palace were not like the ordinary guards in the Prince’s Mansion, who were easily defeated.

One of the Hidden Guards also gathered martial power and charged at the Fourth Prince.

They were Imperial Experts, responsible for the palace’s security, their martial arts skills were extraordinary.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted in the palace, disturbing the entire Imperial City.

Within ten meters, the guards with slightly lesser martial arts were knocked down from the walls.

"Ah...!

At the palace gates, a series of miserable cries rang out without pause.

Qingping Palace.

"Eunuch Li, what’s happening?" From the dragon bed, the emperor’s sleepy voice sounded, clearly woken by the noise.

"Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li." Called once without a response, the emperor called out several times.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li is already...!"

The night-watching Little Eunuch trembled as he knelt in front of the dragon bed.

"Oh! Eunuch Li is already dead." Over the years, the emperor had become accustomed to Eunuch Li’s service and temporarily forgot that he had ordered Eunuch Li killed.

"What was that noise just now? Why was it so loud? Did something happen in the palace?"

"The servant does not know." The Little Eunuch, who had dozed off, was also woken by the noise, and did not know what had happened.

"Hurry up and ask around." The emperor was angry, this Little Eunuch, not as sharp as Eunuch Li, infuriated him. Everything needed his reminder before getting done, not proactive at all.

"Yes, the servant will attend to it immediately."

The emperor was angry, the Little Eunuch was terrified and hastily bowed and exited to gather information.

"Such a useless person, can’t even handle small matters." The emperor lay on the dragon bed, fuming.

"Your Majesty, don’t be angry, Xiao Shunzi has just started serving you, mistakes are inevitable." Beside him, Noble Consort Wang smiled charmingly.

"Eunuch Li served me for so many years, suddenly having a replacement, I am really not used to it." At this moment, the emperor recalled the benefits of Eunuch Li.

With the person dead, regretting now is pointless, isn’t it? Moreover, the order was given by the emperor himself.
