2522 Rushing to Die

Eunuch Xun was almost 60. He was tough and stocky, disrupting the wind whenever he passed.

After hearing the Eastern Palace’s summons, Eunuch Xun was alo confused. However, he dared not slight this crown prince consort and hastily followed the junior eunuch guiding him to the Eastern Palace.

Upon entering the Eastern Palace’s side chamber court, he saw Junior Eunuch Li at a glance. Two guards had restrained him to the ground and kept stuffing food into his mouth. The latter was so full that his belly had started protruding.

His heart sank, and his palms started oozing cold sweat.

He hastily went up and saluted. “This servant, Xun Ba, greets the crown prince consort.”

The young crown prince consort looked at him coldly. “Caixiu.”

Caixiu completely understood her young crown prince consort’s intention this time, and she also knew why the crown prince consort became enraged.

She was also a bit apprehensive right now because she and Caiqi both failed to notice this problem. If the crown prince consort truly wanted to chide them, the dressing down would still happen.

There was only the method of atoning for guilt with good needs now.

She took in a deep breath and quickly walked over with a bowl of swallow’s nest soup. She handed that bowl to the imperial kichten’s manager eunuch, Eunuch Xun. “Eunuch Xun, all of the breakfast dishes that the imperial kitchen delivered earlier were all completely cold, just like this swallow’s nest.”

“Impossible!” Eunuch Xun was astonished, and he took the bowl. The moment his hand touched the rim of the bowl, it was indeed so cold that there was no hint of warmth.

They were in a freezing environment, yet they wanted the crown prince consort to eat these cold items?

The weawther was extremely cold, yet Eunuch Xun’s forehead was beading with sweat. He hastily knelt on the ground and explained, “Your Highness must exercise your penetrating judgment. The food was definitely piping hot coming out of the imperial kitchen. Besides, we use thermos boxes to deliver the food to the Eastern Palace. This allows all the courts to receive hot food.”

That was why the reason the food was this cold, was definitely… someone tampered with the food.

They had used a chilling tool to swiftly freeze all this food, right?

Eunuch Xun looked in disgust at Junior Eunuch Li, who was sprawled on the ground. The latter had already lost half his life from the torment.

He had just been feeling pity for this person, but from the looks of it now, the guy deserved it.

Why was this guy dragging him into the mud too when the former was the one rushing to offend the crown prince consort?

“Xiao’Li’zi, what is the meaning of this?” Eunuch Xun grilled, “Why did you do this?”

Junior Eunuch Li braced himself. His stomach was giving him trouble after eating all the cold food. He lashed out in annoyance, “Eunuch Xun, what did this servant do? This servant had just come to deliver food. Even if the food all cooled down, isn’t it fine if this servant takes it back and heats it up again? Is this ruckus necessary?”

*Slap!* A palm strike from afar hit Xiao’Li’zi’s face soundly.

This Junior Eunuch Li got two of his teeth knocked out, and he looked over in horror.

Mo Lian strode breezily into the court while enshrouded in a vicious aura. Without room for objection, he kicked Junior Eunuch Li more than ten times, hitting his weak spots every time.

Junior Eunuch Li spewed out blood from the pain, and rolled about while trembling and wailing.

“What thing dares to be so insolent in the Eastern Palace?”
