However, the person in the imperial kitchen had an indifferent expression on his face. He curled the corners of his lips into a fake smile. “Miss, this isn’t up to us to decide. It’s the emperor’s personal decree to let us carefully serve the empress in Fengyi Palace. How could we dare to disobey?”
When Jingyi heard this, her face finally revealed a terrified expression. She looked uneasily at the people in the imperial kitchen and asked fearfully, “What do you mean? What does this matter have to do with the emperor?”
When the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen heard this, he merely shook the horsetail whisk in his hand and sized up Jingyi with a disdainful gaze. “Young Lady, you’re such a smart person, so you should know that it is difficult to guess the sacred heart. If you ask, you can only ask what the empress has done.”
Jingyi was shocked, the hair on her back started to stand out. However, no matter how afraid she was, she still shouted sternly on the surface, “You, all of you are impudent. The empress has done nothing. If you bunch of d*mn slaves continue to make groundless accusations here, be careful that the empress will throw all of you into the imperial prison!”
The head of the imperial kitchen saw Jingyi’s stern expression and merely raised his eyes to sweep Jingyi around. Then, he immediately put away his rolling eyes and turned around to leave without looking back.
Jingyi was indignant, but she had no other choice. She could only watch as the head of the imperial kitchen went back. She also carried the food box in her hand and turned around to walk towards Fengyi Palace in a daze.
No, she could not just sit there and wait for death. She had to hurry back and tell the empress about this news. Otherwise, if the matter continued to escalate, she would be the first to be investigated. At that time, she would be finished.
With an uneasy heart, when Jingyi was about to reach Fengyi Palace, a few eunuchs in eunuch uniforms suddenly appeared from the darkness and blocked her way.
Jingyi was immediately shocked by the sudden appearance of the figure and asked in fear, “You, who are you?! ”
However, the few figures in front of her had no intention of answering her. The leading eunuch gave the order, his voice so deep that it did not seem like a eunuch at all. “It’s her. Take her away.”
Jingyi was so scared that she threw away the food box in her hand and turned around to run.
However, these eunuchs were clearly trained. They did not give Jingyi any chance to leave. They quickly rushed forward and covered Jingyi’s mouth with ease, dragging her away forcefully.
The young eunuch of Fengyi Palace had also come out to look for Jingyi, who had not returned yet. However, when he saw this scene from afar, he was so frightened that he trembled. He quickly hid behind a palace lamp and carefully poked his head out to take a look.
The young eunuch immediately recognized that the leading man in the eunuch uniform was not a real eunuch at all. He was one of the Prince Regent’s trusted subordinates, Liu Yi!
Liu Yi did not notice the existence of the little eunuch. His face was expressionless as he ordered his subordinates in a businesslike manner, “Don’t waste time. Take her away immediately.”
Jingyi’s frenzied resistance was futile and she was forcefully dragged away.
The young eunuch was scared out of his wits when he saw this scene. It was not until Liu Yi and the others dragged Jingyi away that he finally came back to his senses. He ran wildly and broke into Fengyi Palace without regard for the rules.. “Your Majesty the Empress, something happened!”
