Eunuch Zhang finished speaking, and with a flick of his Orchid Finger, he signaled his subordinates to prepare to take Xia Yuhan away.
"Wait, Eunuch!"
Eunuch Zhang thought to himself, finally turning away and not wanting to look at this "female demon" directly!
But Xia Yuhan's voice was like a spell, ringing in his ears, causing his eyebrows to twitch! It was infuriating!
Reluctantly, Eunuch Zhang raised an eyebrow, his face full of dissatisfaction: "What now? The Emperor's decree has been issued; if this delays important matters, don't even mention whether you can bear the responsibility! Even our beloved General Xia cannot bear it!"
Listening to Eunuch Zhang's soft voice, Xia Yuhan felt a shiver run through her body: why did the eunuch's voice sound so awkward? It felt like millions of worms were crawling over the cracks of her wounds…
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhan couldn't help but shrink her neck: "Eunuch Zhang, Yu Han wants to ask, isn't Daddy coming into the palace with me?"
Seeing that he had caught hold of Xia Yuhan's weakness, Eunuch Zhang's arrogance immediately surged: "Did you not hear the Emperor's command? Only you are summoned into the palace! Come on, stop talking nonsense and have this eunuch escort Second Sister to the carriage—hmph!"
He didn't forget to turn around with a flourish, walking away in a very "elegant" and "graceful" manner…
Xia Yuhan immediately felt a dark cloud over her face; people were just so petty! Not only did they hold grudges, but they also loved to show off!
The Royal Guards, who had just been humiliated by Xia Yuhan, heard Eunuch Zhang's order and wasted no time in coming forward to forcibly "invite" Xia Yuhan to leave.
Outnumbered, Xia Yuhan could only be pushed forward by the crowd, occasionally turning back to call out for General Xia: "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"
General Xia wore a serious expression. Hearing Xia Yuhan's urgent calls for him, he moved closer. Little did he expect that at that moment, Xia Yuhan would reach out her hand; when she touched General Xia's body, she pushed aside the Royal Guards and unexpectedly leaned into General Xia.
"Yu Han!"
"Daddy, take care!" Ignoring General Xia's reprimand, Xia Yuhan took one last look at him before decisively pushing away the Royal Guards and walking ahead on her own.
Watching Xia Yuhan resolutely walk away, General Xia tightly clutched the note that she had secretly handed him earlier, filled with mixed emotions.
Though Yu Han was a concubine's daughter, in terms of beauty, she dared to claim second place in the entire capital; no one would dare claim first. Yet her personality was so weak…
If it weren't for the misfortune that happened to her, she wouldn't have undergone such a significant transformation!
The current Yu Han bears no resemblance to the timid and fearful person she once was.
Now, even if she faces great humiliation or injustice, she maintains an air of composure in front of anyone! Importantly, she does not bring any shame to Xia Manor!
Yu Han's trip to the palace this time is indeed fraught with danger...
Watching Yu Han's departing figure, General Xia let out a long sigh in his heart...
His hand, tightly gripping the note, trembled even more violently. Unbeknownst to anyone, General Xia discreetly opened the note, and when he read its contents, his heart jolted!
Could it be that someone is targeting him and the entire Xia Manor?
Because the note from Xia Yuhan stated: If Yu Han dies during this trip to the palace, please return swiftly to the border!
General Xia suppressed his gloomy expression and carefully considered Xia Yuhan's words. If Yu Han were to die in the palace this time, then the next move of their adversaries would surely be directed at him!
Alas... what a pity!
If Yu Han were a man, with just a little guidance and diligent practice, she could become an excellent general like him or even surpass him!
What a true shame...
Originally, he Xia Zhongguo had a son; unfortunately, his son was kidnapped when he was still very young and unaware! If it weren't for the wet nurse taking his only son out to join in the festivities, his son wouldn't have ended up like this!
Back then, he sent people everywhere searching for the whereabouts of those kidnappers. In the end, all he found were the corpses of those criminals; his son's fate remained unknown!
He wonders if his son is alive or dead now?
...
The front yard of Xia Manor was already surrounded by commoners who were clamoring loudly. They all insisted that as a general of the nation, he must set a strong example for the entire capital and even for the whole Azure Dragon Kingdom by executing Xia Yuhan, who had brought disgrace upon his family!
Xia Yuhan sneered inwardly: Are you all so happy to execute me? Do you know that once I am dead, the one who will suffer next is General Xia? At that time, let's see who can bear the burden of protecting the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom. Can you protect yourselves?
With no way through the front yard, they could only head to the back yard. Fortunately, not many people knew about the back yard. Eunuch Zhang managed to "invite" Xia Yuhan onto the carriage smoothly.
After they boarded the carriage, it quickly headed towards the palace under the lead of the horse team. Along with Xia Yuhan in the same carriage were five or six Royal Guard members, as well as Eunuch Zhang.
So many people squeezed into a not-so-spacious carriage, all for her, who was covered in injuries and could barely walk?
Feeling heavy-hearted, Xia Yuhan didn't even want to make sarcastic remarks; she simply closed her eyes and leaned comfortably against the carriage wall, resting.
This made Eunuch Zhang extremely frustrated: You think this eunuch invited you to the palace for tea? Just wait! Let's see if you can still smile later! Hmph!
Forget it; anger is harmful to health. This eunuch won't get angry with someone as despicable as you! Calm down! Calm down!
Just when everyone thought they would reach the palace soon at this speed, the rapidly moving carriage suddenly came to a halt! It crashed into someone, causing chaos. Fortunately, Xia Yuhan had a handrail nearby; otherwise, her frail body would have been thrown out and seriously injured.
Before they could regain their composure, they heard a brief sound of swords being drawn...
However, after a while, there was no sound of swords clashing; instead, an eerie silence fell over them...
Xia Yuhan instinctively sensed a chilling aura of killing intent and tightened her grip on her hidden weapon, placing her left hand over her right hand where she concealed it.
Unexpectedly, this hidden weapon was put to use so quickly!
The Royal Guards sharing the carriage with her had higher martial arts skills than Xia Yuhan and surely sensed that terrifying killing intent as well.
She quietly observed as the Royal Guards placed their hands on their scabbards, preparing for a desperate fight. Suddenly, Xia Yuhan's heart raced!
If so many couldn't handle it, how could a few people in the carriage?
There were at least forty to fifty Royal Guards who came to Xia Manor this time. Now outside the carriage, most of them hadn't even drawn their swords before falling silently in pools of blood. Only a few had drawn their swords, but before they could swing them, they met untimely deaths!
This meant that there was likely only one person attacking! Because if there were helpers, those Royal Guards outside would definitely have died without making a sound!
In an instant of speculation, the roof of the carriage was suddenly lifted by a man in black. Xia Yuhan felt the ground shake, as if the entire world trembled...
Due to the violent shaking, the Royal Guard inside the carriage hadn't even had time to draw their swords before they were struck down by darts shot from the sudden intruder!
The speed of the attack was so swift that these men probably didn't even realize how they had met their end...
It was terrifying!
It turned out that it was indeed just one person! Moreover, this person was even more skilled at using Hidden Weapons than she was! In such a situation, if she were to use her Hidden Weapons, she would undoubtedly be doomed!
She absolutely could not use her Hidden Weapons now!
Xia Yuhan locked eyes with the deep-set gaze of the man in black, her breath quickening and her heart racing. For the first time, she felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
Previously, no matter what kind of enemy she faced, she could remain calm because she had time and opportunities to counterattack!
But now, it seemed that before she could finish a single sentence, she would already be dead at the hands of this man in black!
As for Eunuch Zhang inside the carriage, after witnessing the roof being torn off and seeing his guards die in an instant, he was so frightened that he fainted like a dead dog.
At this moment, inside and outside the carriage, there were only the two of them—she in fiery red and he in alluring black...
To Xia Yuhan's surprise, he did not make a move for a long time!
She looked up with doubt in her eyes at the man dressed in black, whose sharp gaze was as piercing as a sword.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The man's voice was deep and distant, revealing no emotion.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Yuhan found him terrifying. She tightly gripped the jade hand hidden in her sleeve: "Are you the mysterious person who prompted the Right Chancellor of Azure Dragon Kingdom to come to our aid?"
"Woman! Do you know how you will ultimately die? Out of curiosity!"
With that, after glancing at Eunuch Zhang lying on the ground like a dead dog, the man swiftly placed a note into Xia Yuhan's palm with lightning speed.
Before Xia Yuhan could even ask a question, the man in black flashed and disappeared without a trace.
A note? A note? Why would that mysterious man in black give her a note?
After the man in black left, Xia Yuhan finally let out a sigh of relief. She stood up and looked around, surveying the bodies of the Royal Guard lying all over the ground...
Once she confirmed there were no other living people, she quietly opened the note to investigate.
If she hadn't looked at the note, it would have been fine; but once she did, she felt as if she had plunged into icy coldness, even her breath felt chilling!
At that moment, Eunuch Zhang, who had been unconscious under the bench of the carriage, began to stir. Seeing that he would soon Awaken, Xia Yuhan hurriedly swallowed the note and pretended to be dead, leaning against the side of the carriage.
This note couldn't be carelessly discarded or torn apart because so many people had died at the scene. Someone would definitely come to investigate later; she couldn't afford to leave any traces.
Now she understood a bit why that man in black hadn't killed Eunuch Zhang. He did this to leave her a way out.
If Eunuch Zhang fainted in the carriage and escaped death, then Xia Yuhan could also pretend to be unconscious without being detected.
