The West Lin County Mistress looked down at her constantly drooping right arm, which had withered and shrunk over the past few months. The doctor had said that amputation might be necessary! Her heart filled with more hatred. Scanning the area, her expression turned ferocious. “Perfect, you’re all gathered here, saving me the trouble of searching. Today, no one will leave this bamboo forest.”
Ye Hui pushed aside the men in front of her and stepped forward, disdainfully saying, “Who do you think you are? Do you think Tianying Gate belongs to you?”
The West Lin County Mistress glared viciously, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. “You foolish woman probably doesn’t know that Tianying Gate is the Prince of Chu’s territory. Who is the Prince of Chu? He’s a prince of the Huangfu clan. Lowly person, kneel and beg for mercy. I might grant you a quick death.”
The current Sha Zhou King’s father was the late emperor’s own brother, who was sent to the desolate Sha Zhou as a frontier king due to lack of favor.
By lineage, the West Lin County Mistress was Prince Huangfu Zezhuan’s direct cousin, but in Yingtang’s hundreds of years of history, royal family members were spread throughout the country. He wasn’t even close to his own brothers, so what significance did a cousin have?
“So the county mistress is related to the Prince of Chu. How impressive,” Ye Hui smiled faintly, her eyes showing no fear. She turned her head, “Facai, are you scared?”
Facai thought of Prince Huangfu Zezhuan’s gloomy face and nodded, “I’m scared.” He was indeed afraid, but when he said this, he grinned, looking comical and ridiculous, almost like mockery.
The West Lin County Mistress was furious. She was wary of Ye Hui’s two guards and wanted to wait for her father to back her up, but she couldn’t wait any longer. Since her last defeat, she always brought skilled martial arts attendants instead of useless pretty boys.
As long as a fight broke out, her father and the Prince of Chu would be informed and arrive.
Poor child, thinking Prince Huangfu Zezhuan would take her side! Ye Hui couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. Her second husband didn’t even have good feelings towards his own brothers, so what was this distant cousin?
“Capture them all. If you can’t capture them, kill them,” the West Lin County Mistress said, her eyes gleaming with a dark light, instructing her subordinates.
Old Ten and Old Eleven had already drawn their long swords, coldly standing in front of Ye Hui.
Li Weichen hadn’t brought any weapons, but these two guards were far more capable than him. He didn’t need to intervene, pulling Ye Hui to a safer distance. The servants from the Prince of Chu’s palace had seen big scenes and weren’t panicked. Without their master’s command, no one spoke, and they all retreated to safe areas.
Ye Hui glanced around and saw Facai running towards the bamboo forest’s exit.
