Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 637: Bitten by a Mad Dog (3)

"Kill all those men for this Palace, not a single one is to be spared."

A fleeting shadow flashed by, and with bare hands, he grabbed a man and twisted his neck directly, regardless of the swords piercing his body. He showed no reaction, instead, seizing their swords. In a blur, all the men on the scene fell to the ground, blood spurting wildly from their necks as heads were severed from their bodies.

All Consort Hua sensed was a shadow passing by before the guards collapsed on the ground—the eunuchs beside her were no exception. Before she recovered from the shock, something warm splattered on her face. When she touched it, it was bright red and carried a strong scent of blood. Consort Hua foolishly stared at what was in her hand, "What... what is this?"

"Ah... ah... ah, murder!" cried Consort Li in terror, panicking and running out, heedless of the blood on her face.

"Blood, blood... ah, someone, someone help, help me quickly!" Consort Hua, seeing her hands covered in blood, retreated several steps in horror, continuously screaming for rescue.

Feng Xuxu looked at her panicked expression, initially thinking she had killed many people and seen plenty of blood. It turned out to be all show no substance, all bark and no bite. She then turned her gaze to the corpses on the ground: "Good, retreat for now." As her last word fell, the ’dead soldiers’ were no longer on the ground.

Feng Xuxu handed over the person who had fainted in her arms to Yingsu, then turned to see Green Plum covered in red, the ground soaked with red blood. Feng Xuxu lamented, "What a pity for this green plum, set it on fire, it will be just right to warm me up."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Taking out a Fire Starter from her person, she ignited each tree one by one, waiting for them to catch fire before turning to ignite another tree.

"What... what are you doing, stop it, stop it right now!" Consort Hua was half-mad, rushing forward to snatch the Fire Starter from Mei Lenglei’s hand, only to see Lenglei flick it gently, and Consort Hua’s body flew like a kite without a string, crashing into the plum trees behind her.

Just as Lou Qianyu returned to the palace, he saw Eunuch Zhu, the chief steward, approaching rapidly with an extremely unpleasant expression on his face. Without even time to greet formally, Eunuch Zhu held Qianyu’s hand, gesturing towards Yiyun Palace while gasping for breath, "It’s bad, Your Majesty, you must hurry to Plum Garden."

"What’s wrong with Consort Hua now, she’s restless all day, I won’t go." He turned to enter the Imperial Study.

Eunuch Zhu became anxious, grasping the Emperor’s hand, "Empress Jinghe is also there, her maid is setting the Plum Forest on fire, saying that Empress Jinghe is cold..." Before he could finish, Lou Qianyu had already floated away. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old servant hasn’t finished talking, Your Majesty, wait for me." Eunuch Zhu hurried after him, running towards Plum Forest.

With a few steps, Lou Qianyu reached Plum Garden and saw Empress Jinghe sitting by the Moon Gate, smilingly watching the plum trees inside catching fire, her legs crossed and trembling slightly.

"Sister-in-law, what... what’s this about?" Lou Qianyu looked at Consort Hua, who seemed to have gone senseless on the ground, sitting there with a blood-covered face, mumbling to herself, "Don’t burn it."

Feng Xuxu turned her head to see a surprised Lou Qianyu and then couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t call me sister-in-law, otherwise, you might end up as the mad dog, too."

Lou Qianyu’s face stiffened, and suppressing his anger, he gave an awkward smile, "How could you be like them, sister-in-law! Don’t stoop to their level, I’ll deal with them severely."

"Ah, well, I’d like to see how you’ll punish them. If it’s not to my satisfaction, I wouldn’t mind taking matters into my own hands." She slightly raised her eyebrows, let down her legs, stood up from the chair, and looked at him with a smile.
