This is a tactic that those in power have overused.
However, it is also very effective.
Upon hearing His Majesty's words, Eunuch Hou understood the deeper meaning behind them.
So he immediately stopped talking.
At the same time, I also regretted asking that question earlier.
Emperor Qing's gaze lingered on Eunuch Hou for a moment.
His expression was calm, as if he were merely asking out of curiosity.
"You seem to care a lot about Su Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
He lowered his head and quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, this old servant dares not."
"In this world, this old servant only cares about Your Majesty."
"He only cares about those whom His Majesty cares about."
Emperor Qing's expression remained unchanged as he asked.
"Oh, so you mean..."
"Is the Emperor very concerned about Su Yu?"
"Old man, are you trying to guess what I'm thinking?"
Sweat beaded on Eunuch Hou's forehead as he answered tremblingly.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"This old servant should not presume to guess His Majesty's intentions."
"This old servant deserves to die!"
"But this old servant's loyalty to His Majesty is as clear as day."
Emperor Qing quietly looked at the kneeling eunuch Hou.
He picked up the teacup beside him with a blank expression and took a sip.
After a moment, he smiled.
"All right."
"I know you are loyal."
"Get up."
With a wave of his hand, he signaled Eunuch Hou to leave.
Eunuch Hou kowtowed to express his gratitude and then took his leave.
After going outside, Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After wiping, half of his sleeve was soaked.
And the other side.
In front of Hanguang Hall, Fan Xian was still teasing the old dog.
It wasn't that he had a grudge against Eunuch Hong.
Fan Xian simply suffered some rudeness from the eunuchs in this hall earlier.
He was still seething with anger.
He has always been a vengeful person.
Naturally, they had to settle accounts with that chief eunuch.
And it's rare for Mr. to show off like this today.
Of course, he had to seize the opportunity.
This is a magnificent palace; since we're already here, we should at least cause some trouble.
If they come again in the future and are all very polite, it might be harder to take action.
The second prince stood by with his hands in his sleeves, watching coldly.
Thinking to himself, this pageboy is quite interesting.
The gentleman must dote on him very much.
Otherwise, where would a mere pageboy get such audacity?
How dare they cause such trouble in the palace!
Su Yu turned her head, looked at Fan Xian, and smiled.
"Alright, stop bullying Eunuch Hong alone."
Dogs with owners rarely bite people without reason.
To settle accounts, one must naturally look for the master behind him.
After saying that, Su Yu chuckled softly.
At the same time, a powerful aura quietly emanated from him.
Su Yu slowly raised her right hand, her palm slightly open.
Hong Sixiang's eyes widened, and for the first time he felt death was just around the corner.
A powerful sense of fear enveloped him.
For a moment, he even considered taking the initiative to back down.
The hatred I felt for Su Yu just now has quietly dissipated.
All that remained was fear, nothing but fear.
If a person has desires, they won't want to die.
Even grandmasters are no exception.
Moreover, Hong Sixiang is not yet a Grandmaster.
His greatest wish in life was to reach that level.
Am I going to die?
Hong Sixiang closed his eyes tightly, filled with fear and resentment.
Su Yu smiled but ignored him.
Immediately afterwards, his right palm struck towards the inside of the hall.
The palm strike howled, like a violent whirlwind, instantly tearing through the air.
The sharp wind was chilling, as if it could destroy everything.
Su Yu slowly turned her gaze into the hall, her eyes calm yet carrying a cold glint.
Everyone looked at the young man in white.
His expression was calm, yet he possessed an innate air of authority.
The next moment, Su Yu slowly opened his mouth and said calmly.
"Grandmasters and emperors of the mortal world are not even worthy of my attention."
"And who do you think you are, to teach me manners?"
"ridiculous!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible throughout the entire hall.
Every word struck like a heavy hammer into everyone's hearts.
Especially in the heart of that noble empress dowager.
Meanwhile, inside the hall, everything shattered wherever the palm strikes.
In an instant, the Phoenix Throne collapsed under this powerful force.
The ground was covered with wood chips.
And the dignified Empress Dowager who had finally managed to tidy up her appearance.
Originally, she sat regally on the phoenix throne.
But because of this sudden turn of events, he fell to the ground.
The Empress Dowager let out a scream of pain, her voice filled with terror and surprise.
Whether it was the way he fell or the scream he let out.
They showed absolutely no manners or dignity whatsoever.
After their initial shock, the palace maids finally came to their senses.
He began to panic and shout for the emperor's protection, his voice sharp and urgent, filled with fear and unease.
The guards who went to report to the Imperial Study have not yet returned, but it is clear that the Empress Dowager is in trouble.
The guards here naturally surrounded and attacked.
The young man leaped and gracefully arrived in front of the guards.
With a casual wave of his hand, it was as easy as flipping over a piece of paper.
The soldiers all fell to the ground, rolling around and wailing incessantly.
The Empress Dowager was inside, her face so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it, she looked extremely ugly.
Her once dignified and elegant face was now distorted with anger and terror.
The person seemed to have lost their voice; their lips trembled slightly, and they couldn't utter a single word.
The palace maids who had been screaming to protect the emperor heard the screams of the guards outside.
