Chapter 386
On such a grand festival for the Ye Dynasty, after saying such things, no woman would push further. If Mu Mingtang didn’t know better, she wouldn’t have tried to insist.
It was a pity for them that she knew better. She didn’t want to talk to these people at all, but with several eunuchs blocking her way together, Mu Mingtang couldn’t get around no matter what. Her face turned cold and her red lips parted slightly, speaking in a cold voice, “Leave.”
“Princess An, calm down, this is not a place where women can come as they please. Princess, please don’t make it hard for this humble servant.”
Among them, the eunuch who looked like the leader gave the followers on both sides a look. The others understood and immediately flanked her sides, somewhat threatening as they were about to pull her away. Mu Mingtang was very angry, but she was a woman and this was the palace; how could she win these eunuchs?
Mu Mingtang took a step back. The eunuch thought that she was being smart and was about to pretend to say something along the lines of punishing them when he suddenly saw her pull out the hairpin and gave the eunuch next to her a hard stab.
The eunuch who was stabbed immediately howled and immediately relaxed his grip. Mu Mingtang took the opportunity to run away and rushed directly into the gate.
This was a small courtyard with five Chaoyang structures standing in it. The cross-corridor section in the middle was also very empty. It’s a pity that there was no one living here, evident from the grass and trees in the yard that were all withered, making the entire place appear rather depressing.
The eunuch was unprepared for the attack as Mu Mingtang ran inside. After the head eunuch came to his senses, he didn’t even care about the danger looming inside and chased after her shouting, “Stop! Someone stop her!”
After Mu Mingtang ran to the entrance of the main hall, she realised that the door was locked. Naturally, if they knew what was going to happen from the beginning, how could they not be on guard against Xie Xuanchen? She tugged hard onto the door, but the lock wasn’t moving at all. When she looked up, she saw that the window was also closed.
She didn’t know if it could be opened, but based on the current scenario, it most likely could not.
In the blink of an eye, the head eunuch behind caught up with her, seemingly rather irritated with her antics. This time, he didn’t even care about trying to put up a front as he pulled onto Mu Mingtang’s arm very rudely, “Princess An, do not push me to treat you viciously when I’m trying to be courteous. If you don’t cooperate, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
These eunuchs hung out with courtiers all year long and their actions were very aggressive. In this struggle, Mu Mingtang was pinched by them several times, but before she could free herself, a loud noise boomed from the room behind her. Mu Mingtang watched helplessly as a small incense burner cover flew out and hit an eunuch on the head. He fell to the ground immediately and no other movement was made from him, leading the others to wonder if he was dead or alive.
Everyone present was stunned by this incident before the head eunuch immediately realised, “Prince An has gone crazy again!”
