Chapter 557: His Life
There might seem to be few servants and guards around at the Weiyang Palace, yet Zhou Huaijin had always worried about the Queen, so he arranged many of his hidden guards from the Shadow Door around the Weiyang Palace, so that he could be informed when an emergency occurred.
Therefore, when Gu Ruxue came to the Weiyang Palace with her gang, Zhou Huaijin already received the message and came running to the spot directly, but he was still a few moments later.
Zhou Huaijin had not expected that the Gu Family were getting so bold that they dared to threaten the Queen to marry off Xunyang!
Zhou Huaijin had already held back his lethal manners after being together with Chaoyan, but now, Zhou Huaijin was letting all of his lethal aura out.
He looked as if he were going to bring those people directly into h.e.l.l. He looked at Mrs. Gu and asked, “What marriage?”
Mrs. Gu s.h.i.+vered from head to foot.
Rumor went that Lord Huai was a lethal man who would always kill those who he wanted to kill. She had not gotten this idea after a few meetings, but now, she felt that the rumor was true.
Gu Yunhe tugged at Mrs. Gu’s sleeves. He was a little scared, but Gu Ruxue did not care and said strongly, “The marriage between my Elder Brother and Princess Xunyang!”
“You can’t just…” Gu Ruxue was about to say something more…
When Zhou Huaijin took a few steps closer to Gu Ruxue and asked, “Who?”
“My Elder Brother!” Gu Ruxue pointed at Gu Yunhe.
Gu Yunhe did not even look right into Zhou Huaijin’s eyes. His eyes were drifting away.
Zhou Huaijin took a few steps closer to Gu Yunhe, and Mrs. Gu had wanted to s.h.i.+eld her son when Zhou Huaijin suddenly pulled up his sword, Mrs. Gu dodged out of fright and the sword landed upon Gu Yunhe’s neck.
Blood started to drip out of Gu Yunhe’s neck and he got so frightened that he wanted to kneel down, but he was worried that the sword would truly kill him. His legs were s.h.i.+vering constantly.
“This sc.u.mbag wants to marry Xunyang?” Zhou Huaijin asked expressionlessly. He put force into the sword.
Gu Yunhe screamed out of fright. “No, no, no I don’t dare to dream of Princess Xunyang!”
Mrs. Gu was frightened too. She was just reminded of how a daughter of a military minister got her arms chopped off by Lord Huai who did not have to answer for any consequences. Yunhe would be nothing in his eyes.
Mrs. Gu was afraid that Lord Huai would truly do what he wanted. She added. “Lord, this is the court, and Yunhe is the Elder Brother of the Phoenix Girl, you can’t hurt him!”
Zhou Huaijin snorted.
“Hurting him? I am going to take his life!” Zhou Huaijin did not even frown as he was saying those words.
Mrs. Gu got so frightened that she kneeled down.
“Lord Huai, please, we don’t dare to marry Princess Xunyang any more, we don’t deserve her! Please spare Yunhe, he is my only son, I can’t lose him!” Mrs. Gu said loudly.
It was her fault. She should not have agreed to take the idea. The Princess was too far-fetched for them!
As Mrs. Gu thought about this, she tugged at Gu Ruxue. “Ruxue, just kneel down and beg for mercy! He is the only son of the Gu Family and he can’t die!”
Gu Ruxue did not want to. She stood there. She was the Phoenix Girl and she did not kneel down for people!
Mrs. Gu was so annoyed and helpless because of Gu Ruxue. She was killing her brother!
Mrs. Gu kept kowtowing.
Zhou Huaijin was about to withdraw the sword when the Queen suddenly pa.s.sed out, making Aunt Nan scream out of fright.
