"Impudent! Xia Jian, are you courting death? Quickly let go of bengong!"
Noble Consort Feng was also panicking. She had never thought that this little eunuch would become so bold as to dare to touch her.
She really wanted to call for help, but she didn't dare to. She was afraid that the guards who rushed in would see Xia Jian hugging her. Even if she was coerced, she would still be punished. She might even be banished to the Cold Palace to accompany Empress Wang.
Moreover, when she recommended Xia Jian to treat the Emperor's illness in Yangxin Palace Hall that day, she had already let everyone know that Xia Jian was on her side.
Therefore, if the guards saw this scene, they would not be able to explain it clearly.
It was like yellow mud falling into a trouser pocket. If it wasn't sh * t, it was sh * t.
Noble Consort Feng tried to push Xia Jian away, but she realized that she was too weak to push him away. What made him even more embarrassed was that his body actually felt something after Xia Jian's massage.
She didn't expect to be teased by Xia Jian, but instead, she felt numb all over. Originally, she still had some strength to resist Xia Jian, but now, she had to rely on him to stand firm.
Just as Noble Consort Feng's eyes were glazed over and her body's desires were soaring, Xia Jian let go of her, causing a huge emptiness to appear in her heart.
"I hate being put in danger. Whoever dares to threaten me will end up like this!”As Xia Jian spoke, he gathered sword qi in his right hand and brushed it past Noble Consort Feng's ear. A strand of hair fell and was caught in his hand.
When the sword aura brushed past Noble Consort Feng's ears, her body couldn't help but tremble. It was the fear of facing death.
If the sword qi had been half an inch off, her ear would have been sliced open.
The fear of death made her body's desire to grow lower, and her blurred eyes gradually became clear. However, her rosy face would not recover in a short time.
"This strand of hair will be the evidence of our alliance. I won't do anything to you, and don't expect me to do anything. We're complementing each other now. If you choose to go against me or betray me, then you will end up like this hair.”
Xia Jian tucked away the strand of hair and smiled at Noble Consort Feng. It wasn't that he didn't have such thoughts about Noble Consort Feng, but that he couldn't do it now. Before his wings were fully grown, he couldn't go too far.
After all, Madam Feng was a noble consort, different from Li Tangmei. Li Tangmei was just a literary historian now. If she rejected it, then so be it. But if she rejected Feng Enterprise, then the impact would be huge.
"I need to go out of the palace for a while. The Emperor asked me to do something for him. If Noble Concubine Wan comes looking for trouble with you, just bear with it and wait for me to come back.”Noble Consort Feng watched Xia Jian leave in a daze. At that moment, she truly felt powerless.
She was originally the Imperial Consort of the Transformation Monarch, but she had fallen out of favor. What was even more terrifying was that she had only just realized the danger she faced after losing favor. Just like now, a small eunuch did not even put her in his eyes.
If it was Wan Zhen 'er, she probably wouldn't even have the chance to save her life if she targeted her.
In addition, he had offended many concubines because he was once favored by the Transformation Monarch.
After thinking about it, Xia Jian was the only one who could really help her at the moment, because he was the seal eunuch in charge of the ceremonial director.
As for Xia Jian, he left the ceremonial supervisor and left the palace with his entourage.
Since he was a eunuch, his attendants were naturally eunuchs as well.
After leaving the palace at night, Xia Jian felt a little hungry and prepared to find an inn in the capital to eat something to fill his stomach.
However, Xia Jian did not expect that most of the inns in the prosperous capital were closed. Only a few inns were still open, but it seemed that they were preparing to close.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty was very prosperous. It was still early before the curfew, but there were not many pedestrians on the streets. This made Xia Jian feel strange.
After walking for half a street, they finally found an inn that was still open. Xia Jian brought his entourage and walked in.
"Yo, are you three guests here to wait or to stay in the hotel?”The waiter quickly wiped the table for Xia Jian and gestured for them to sit down.
"Waiter, let me ask you, why has the night in Beijing become so cold?”Xia Jian asked.
"This..."
Xia Jian saw the waiter stuttering as if he was unwilling to say anything, but also as if he was waiting for something. Thus, he took out a tael of silver from the money pouch hanging at his waist and placed it on the table.
When the waiter saw the two pieces of silver on the table, a happy smile appeared on his face. He took the silver and put it in his pocket before saying,"Master, I'm not happy with you saying that the capital has been so quiet these past two days because of the demon fox!”
Demonic fox? There were many superstitions in ancient times, but not everyone in the capital believed in them, right?
"Tell me, did something happen to this demon fox?”Xia Jian glanced at the waiter and guessed that there must be something going on.
"Sir, you just came to the capital, right? You don't even know this? Two days ago, the large family on the east side of the city, the Zhao Estate, had a family of 36 people, including the guard dog, who had died. The coroner from the yamen ran over to take a look and found that all the dead people did not have a single wound on their bodies.”
At this moment, the waiter seemed to have transformed into a storyteller. He spoke with saliva flying everywhere and his voice was full of emotion.
Xia Jian smiled and said," What does the death incident you mentioned have to do with this demon fox? Could it be that this demon fox did it?"”
"Master, don't you really not believe that it was done by the demon fox. " Listen to me first. On the day of the incident in the Zhao Residence, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Ling 'an, came back from business. On the way back, he met a beautiful woman. I heard that she was extremely beautiful, so she even put on a veil to prevent others from seeing her. After Zhao Ling 'an brought this beauty back, the next day, everyone in the house was found dead. And that beauty is nowhere to be found. Don't you think it's strange?”
Xia Jian poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile,"You mean to say that the beauty that Zhao Ling 'an brought back was transformed by the demon fox, and that everyone in the Zhao Residence was killed by her, right?”
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can just ask anyone who keeps it.”The waiter said confidently.
"Look, there aren't many pedestrians on the streets. If you don't believe me, you can go to the east of the city. At this time, there's definitely no inn that isn't closed.”
Hearing the waiter's words, Xia Jian nodded noncommittally. When he arrived, he realized that many inns were closed and there were no pedestrians on the streets. It was very deserted.
According to Xia Jian's concept of time, it was only around seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The streets of Beijing were very deserted, so it was definitely abnormal.
"Waiter, are you trying to scare us by saying this and make us stay in your hotel?”Xia Jian asked coldly.
