Xiao Jiu'an's mouth was harsh and his face was full of disdain, but his actions were very gentle, at least, Ji Yunkai did not feel any more pain.

Why did this man arrive?

*Plop! Plop!* One by one, tears landed on the hard armor and shattered into countless pieces, splattering on the armor and quickly disappearing.

She was in pain. Her whole body was in pain, her bones were in pain, and her heart was in pain; her everything was in pain.

Did he think she wanted to be bullied?

She was bullied by Xiao Jiu'an in Prince Yanbei's Mansion until she could not get out of bed. With what strength did she have to resist?

"Endure it for This King. We'll talk about it when we get back." Xiao Jiu'an was not a doctor, but anyone, who lived on the battlefield all year round, would know where Ji Yunkai was injured the moment they touched her.

This woman was truly capable. In the blink of an eye, she had gotten even more injured.

"Yes." Ji Yunkai bit her lips, trying her best to force the tears in her eyes back. She kept telling herself that Xiao Jiu'an was the reason she was like this and that she could not show weakness in front of him, but.…

The moment Xiao Jiu'an held her up, she could no longer hold on, and the tears in her eyes uncontrollably fell.

Xiao Jiu'an carried Ji Yunkai and walked out, but before he had taken a few steps, he was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. A large wave of Imperial Guards pointed their spears at Xiao Jiu'an, but not a single one of them dared to step forward, "Prince Yanbei, stop!"

Xiao Jiu'an had directly killed his way into the Imperial Palace. He did not go see the Emperor, and only raised his sword and charged straight into Kang'an Hall. He was like a God of Death slaughtering all that stood in his way. The Emperor's face was stepped on with the soles of his feet.

Along the way, the guards ran away the moment they saw Xiao Jiu'an. Only when all the Imperial Guards gathered together did they have the courage to surround Xiao Jiu'an.

"You want to stop This King with just this few of you?" Facing the three layers on the inside and three layers on the outside of Imperial Guards, Xiao Jiu'an was not afraid in the slightest.

Ji Yunkai snuggled into his embrace, the ice-cold armor allowing her to somewhat clear her mind. Hearing Xiao Jiu'an's arrogant words, Ji Yunkai slightly smiled.

This was absolute strength. This was the confidence brought about by absolute strength. People like her, who did not have absolute strength, could only die from being bullied.

"Prince Yanbei, you trespassed into the Imperial Palace and committed a heinous crime. Hurry and surrender." Although the Imperial Guards were large in numbers, they did not dare make a move against Xiao Jiu'an. Even when he did not have a weapon in his hand, and he was carrying a woman.

"Out of the way!" This time, Xiao Jiu'an did not bother to speak, as he carried Ji Yunkai and continued to walk forward. Every step he took, the Imperial Guards would retreat a step, and keep an appropriate distance between them.

They retreated all the way, and when he saw that he was about to retreat into the main hall, the Imperial Guard gritted their teeth and stood still: "Prince Yanbei, you cannot leave!"

This matter had already alarmed the Emperor. If they could not capture Xiao Jiu'an, the Emperor would not let them off.

"Can you stop This King?" Xiao Jiu'an scoffed in disdain. His footsteps did not stop, and he continued to walk forward.

"I hope Prince Yanbei will not make things difficult for us." The Imperial Guard did not dare to act and was forced to take a few steps back, gritting his teeth in hatred.

Prince Yanbei was a God of Death who had single-handedly charged into the midst of thousands of enemies and killed their generals. How would they dare to provoke that kind of trouble?

"Difficult? It's best if you don't force This King to make a move, or else This King will make you understand what 'difficult' means!" The Emperor had touched his Princess Consort and trampled his, Prince Yanbei's Mansion's, face beneath his feet. Did he want him to obediently cooperate? These people were too naive.

There was nowhere to run. Seeing that negotiating were useless, the Imperial Guard could only harden his heart and say, "Since that's the case, we can only offend you. You guys... go!"

As a leader, he could not retreat. He raised his sword and rushed forward first, but with just a single kick, Xiao Jiu'an had already kicked him to the ground. "You're courting death!"

"Let's attack together!" The Imperial Guard leader knelt on the ground, his face was pale from the pain, but he still held onto his sword tightly and pointed at Xiao Jiu'an.

The Imperial Guards behind him saw that and did not dare to retreat. They clenched their teeth and rushed forward, but before they could get close, they were kicked flying by Xiao Jiu'an, "You should be glad that This King does not like killing my Revelation's people." Otherwise, these people would all be dead.

Xiao Jiu'an was not annoyed at all. He kicked them around for a bit, and at that moment, no one dared to step forward to grab Ji Yunkai. He kicked anyway that would dare to block his way out.

When the Emperor received the news and rushed over, he immediately saw Xiao Jiu'an using his Imperial Guards as punching bags. They all fell one by one as he kicked them all.

"Xiao Jiu'an, you dare!" The Emperor was angered to the point that his entire body trembled. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his back bulged out.

"Your Majesty!" When the Imperial Guards saw that the Emperor had arrived, they all stopped and knelt to beg for forgiveness.

Xiao Jiu'an did not immediately leave. Instead, he gave the Emperor enough face. While holding Ji Yunkai, he turned around. "Please forgive This Official for being impolite, as This Official is unable to pay respects to the Emperor."

"Prince Yanbei, do you know what you are doing?" The Emperor gritted his teeth, as these words were squeezed out.

"This King's Princess Consort was framed by Grand Concubine Jing and her life is hanging by a thread. This King is anxious to save her, so may Your Majesty forgive This King." Xiao Jiu'an said those words with a serious face, and there was not a trace of fear on his face.

"Nonsense, your Princess Consort tried assassinating Grand Concubine Jing and has caused Grand Concubine Jing to be unconscious. We only made her kneel for a few hours, that's already showing leniency."

"Your Majesty, This King knows that This King's Princess Consort will never assassinate Grand Concubine Jing in the palace. What's more, what enmity does she have with Grand Concubine Jing? Is it worth it for her to take such a risk and assassinate her?" If Ji Yunkai wanted to kill Grand Concubine Jing, she would not be stupid enough to make a move in the Imperial Palace, much less be stupid enough to only hurt her and not kill her.

"Will Grand Concubine Jing slander her?" The Emperor also knew that Ji Yunkai had no reason to hurt her, but with the facts laid in front of him, and him wanting to punish Prince Yanbei's Mansion, Ji Yunkai could only blame her bad luck.

"Grand Concubine Jing is too old, perhaps her eyesight has deteriorated." Xiao Jiu'an unrestrainedly threw dirty water on the Grand Imperial Concubine. "If This King's Princess Consort wanted to kill Grand Imperial Concubine, how could she do so with her ribs being broken? Moreover, it's not worth it for This King's Princess Consort to personally act against her."

With just a few words, Xiao Jiu'an had completely trampled over Grand Concubine Jing, not putting her status in his eyes at all.

If the empress dowager could still be shown some respect, then what would a grand imperial concubine without a son count as? How dare she bully the people of his Prince Yanbei's Mansion! She is simply looking for death. Since she wants to go down and accompany the Late Emperor, he would help her!
