Helian Chacha had never expected that she could make a contribution to the peace and harmony of the harem.

Inside the Ruichen Palace, Concubine Yun was sitting in the upper place. She took a deep breath and tried so hard to calm down from the rage, saying, “To what do I owe this pleasure?”

Those concubines stared at each other as no one wanted to speak first. Finally, Concubine Yang stood up and greeted Concubine Yun, saying, “We are here because of Lin Dagou.”

Xu Ruyun suddenly understood it as she knew she was not the only one bothered by that matter. Thinking of that, she felt much better.

“The news is spreading quite fast, huh? So I guess all of you know it now?” She raised her eyebrows and glanced at those concubines sitting next to her, “But you don’t need to worry about it, as His Majesty is still an ordinary man. Even if he was actually with Lin Dagou, the relationship won’t last long. Those officials will never allow His Majesty to favor a eunuch, not to say the harem!”

“I know it’s not reasonable, but that doesn’t help us either.” Lady Fucha pretended to wipe off the tears on her face and said, “You are now grounded, so you might not know how pompous this Lin Dagou is right now. We all have to show him some respect when we see him, or we don’t know how he would frame us in front of His Majesty!”

Concubine Chen echoed, “Exactly. He is just a little eunuch. How dare he bully us like that! It’s only because he knows His Majesty would protect him!”

Concubine Yun flickered her nails and said, “Being mad won’t do us any good. If you really hate him, why don’t you just kill him directly?”

“Well…” They looked at each other reluctantly and said, “You know that we are all just vulnerable women, and now we are here to ask you to help us get rid of this eunuch who is messing around in the harem.”

So they were here to win her support. Concubine Yun sneered and said, “Please don’t overestimate me, sisters. I can’t even leave this Ruichen Palace, so I am not that powerful as you have expected. Please just leave.”

Concubine Yang stood up and said as she couldn’t believe her, “Sis, you sure you’ll just let that eunuch bully all of us like that?”

“If you get bullied by someone, then fight back on your own. I can’t offer you any help.” Then, she stood up and tried to go back to her room, saying lazily, “Lian’er, escort them out.”

“Sis!” Lady Fucha didn’t want to give up so she shouted from behind.

However, Xu Ruyun just walked into her room without even looking back.

After they had left Ruichen Palace, those concubines suddenly changed their attitude.

“Hum, I just don’t know why she is so arrogant. If she isn’t the daughter of the minister and had someone get her back, no one will beg her for help like that!”

“But what are we supposed to do now?” Failing to get the help from Xu Ruyun, they were half less likely to win. Although no one would like to admit it, they knew Xu Ruyun was more scheming than anyone of them.

Lady Fucha rolled her eyes and waved at the others, “Come here, all of you. We can do it like this…”

While those concubines were planning to give her a “big present” in the harem, Helian Chacha didn’t have any idea of it. She was just enjoying her leisure time in Yangxin Hall as usual and dropping some poison to Ye Shengxuan now and then to spice this peaceful life up.

One day, Helian Chacha was having a walk with Ye Shengxuan on a path in the palace. She looked back occasionally and found a strong man in black lurking on the roof near them. What was more to her despair was that the man in black’s arrow was aiming at her instead of Ye Shengxuan.

She looked back immediately and pretended that she had seen nothing. She moved to the left a little bit and then looked back again, and the strong man had changed the direction of his arrow as she expected.

She was pretty sure that this man was coming for her.

Lord, what had this Lin Dagou done in the past that so many people wanted to kill her right now?

She clenched her teeth and walked to Ye Shengxuan quickly.

The man in black didn’t expect that she would walk close to Ye Shengxuan all of a sudden, so he triggered his bow out of worries.

Shoot—

The short arrow pierced the air and rushed towards Helian Chacha rapidly.

Helian Chacha started to run immediately and yelled, “Be careful, Your Majesty!”

The moment she was screaming, Ye Shengxuan got alarmed as he turned around to hold her in his arms immediately. He then took out a dagger and block the short arrow with it in a perfect move.

Cling—

The short arrow fell to the ground.

Since he failed to assassinate her, the man in black jumped off the roof immediately and ran away from the scene.

Now the guardians realized there was someone trying to attack the emperor, so they circled Ye Shengxuan immediately and yelled, “Protect His Majesty!”

They shouted out loud and Shiao Qi who was patrolling nearby was attracted by the noise and rushed to them. Seeing Shiao Qi coming, Ye Shengxuan pointed at the direction to which the man in black just ran away, saying, “Chase him! Bring him back to me no matter what!”

Shiao Qi took his order and took some of his men to chase him.

Seeing that Shiao Qi was chasing him, Helian Chacha finally felt relieved. She was so lucky that she had just reacted quickly enough, or she would have been dead right now.

While she was still thinking, she suddenly felt some warmth around her. Looking up, she realized that Ye Shengxuan was still holding her in his arms. So she coughed slightly to remind him, “Hmm… well…Your Majesty, you can let me go now.”

Hearing that, Ye Shengxuan let her go directly as if he had been holding a piece of wood instead of a man.

After that, Ye Shengxuan tidied his robe and asked her as if he didn’t care, “Did you just try to protect me?”

Helian Chacha was stunned a bit and then promised to him firmly, “It is my duty to protect you, Your Majesty!”

It seemed that he could not read her mind, so Ye Shengxuan just said slightly while staring at her with his meaningful eyes, “Let’s go back to the palace.”

After the farce that had just happened, all the guardians with them became very vigilant that they would investigate any suspicious move around.

The way back to Yangxin Hall was neither short nor long, but it took them a quarter to walk back. When they returned to the hall, Shiao Qi had been waiting inside for them already.

Seeing that they were back, Shiao Qi stepped up immediately and bowed to Ye Shengxuan, “Your Majesty, I’ve caught the assassin and he is right there.”

Ye Shengxuan nodded and walked inside immediately.

It seemed that they had just had a fierce fight because the assassin was now without his mask. His face was covered with a beard and some bruises, probably that was because he had just been punched by Shiao Qi.

He was absolutely a tough guy, Helian Chacha thought to herself.

Throwing a glimpse at the strong man, Ye Shengxuan sat down on his chair leisurely and took the tea served by Helian Chacha calmly, “Who sent you here?”

The man in black sneered and spat, “I took the money and I did the job. I’m called Blades and I’ve been working in this industry for years and I never sold my sponsor out. You are not going to get any information about my sponsor from my mouth!”

“Quite tough huh?” Ye Shengxuan didn’t mind his resistance, instead, he sent Shiao Qi a signal with his fingers, “Show him what you’ve got.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Then, he glanced at the guardian standing next to him, and he got his idea. Both of them stepped up and carried the man to the side hall.

During the trip, the man kept struggling and shouting, “I’ll never succumb! You shall never hear a word from me about my sponsor. Never ever!”

After a short while, the man’s shriek came out from the side hall and it never stopped. His screams got bigger and then lowered down, and Shiao Qi didn’t come back from the side hall until the sound faded away.

“Your Majesty, he just told me everything.”
