of the Imperial Guard He's just a fancy guard dog, that's all. But still, a guard dog."Chen Zhi was furious upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed menacingly at Li Chen, his hand already resting on the...Chapter 382 Aren't you laughing at me too
After being scolded by Li Chen, Sanbao finally gave up on the idea of chasing and killing the Saintess.
"Go home, everyone. Have a good New Year."
Li Chen waved his hand and said, then turned around to leave the rooftop.
"Your Highness, this wine"
Seeing the half-pot of wine Li Chen left behind, Sanzang chased after him and asked.
Here you go:
Li Chen casually finished his sentence, and under the support of the guards, he jumped down from the roof and leisurely went back to his bedroom.
Three treasures, as if they had gained the greatest treasure, carefully lifted the wine pot that the prince had drunk half of, and said with delight: "The servant thanks you, Your Highness."
......
On the second day, the first rays of sunlight in the new year leaped out over the land, illuminating this ancient imperial capital.
After a night of snow, it finally stopped.
Today is New Year's Day, even the eunuchs and maids in the palace are allowed to break the rules and rest for a day. However, things like clearing snow cannot be delayed, but it is also allowed to work after sunrise.
When the sun rose, eunuchs who had been assigned to duty came to sweep the snow outside Qianyuan Palace.
They only saw a snowman at the gate of Qianyuan Palace.
On closer inspection, it was King Zhao Li Yinhǔ, his face ashen and purplish.
"My lord My lord"
A brave eunuch dared to call out twice softly.
It's getting light, Your Highness, you can go back now.
The snowman, which had been perfectly still, trembled. A chunk of snow fell away, revealing Li Yinhu's complete form.
He propped himself up with his hands and slowly stood up.
Because he had been kneeling for too long, his lower limbs were already numb, and coupled with the cold weather, Li Yinhǔ could now hardly feel any other parts of his body.
He nearly collapsed and fell to the ground, luckily a young eunuch beside him reacted quickly and caught him.
"My lord Should I call a doctor"
The little eunuch, seeing Li Yinhui's face that looked like a corpse, was terrified and hurriedly asked.
"No need."
Li Yinhu hoarsely replied, waiting for the blood to circulate through his limbs before he felt a little bit of sensation. After that, he pushed away the eunuch and left Taihe Palace in staggering steps, without saying a word.
Before leaving, he still turned his head to glance at the two deep knee pits left behind where he had knelt. The icy hatred in his eyes almost drove him mad.
After returning to the mansion, Li Yinhu asked the physician to prescribe some medicine for his limbs which were almost swollen like steamed buns.
Lifting his eyes, Li Yinhu looked at the maid applying medicine to him with no emotion whatsoever. Suddenly, he felt like the maid was smiling.
"What are you laughing at"
Li Yinhu's icy voice startled the maid, who hurriedly said, "Responding to Your Highness, I wasn't laughing just now."
Li Yinhu suddenly flew into a rage. His face flushed red, like an unsuccessful mating baboon, he grabbed the maidservant's throat and said coldly, "I clearly saw you smile, aren't you also mocking me!"
"Scoff at this king's presumption, scoff at this king being humiliated by the Crown Prince!"
"Say! Isn't that so!"
Her throat was constricted, the maid struggled in pain, she gasped out, "My lord, slave girl, slave girl didn't... please, my lord, spare my life..."
When Li Yinhu heard this, he picked up the teapot beside him and smashed it directly on the maid's face. Then, with both hands, he grabbed the maid's neck and shook her wildly, roaring: "Spare my life You mocked this king and you want me to spare your life!"
"Don't think I don't know, you, and them, everyone of you, are all laughing at me!!!""A true master wouldn't allow such objects to get close. They would deflect them mid-air or dodge them beforehand. Even if it exploded at point-blank range, they would only sustain minor injuries and...
