Tian Boguang's intention was to go to the Cold Palace to rescue An Shigeng, who he had placed there. However, although he was heading to the west side of the palace, he did not intend to go through the imperial prison. The imperial prison had just been broken into yesterday. If he went now, wouldn't he be courting death? Perhaps Zhu ignored the people and suspected that someone was hiding somewhere and setting up defenses in the prison!
He headed west, mainly because the west side of the palace was where eunuchs and serving girls usually lived. The security was not tight, and the Cold Palace was also located to the west of the back palace, making it easy to enter.
When Tian Boguang passed by the laundry room, he stole a eunuch's uniform and put it on as a disguise. With the identity of a eunuch in the palace, he did not have to worry about being discovered. He also did not use Qinggong to walk on the roof like those gentlemen or assassins. He never understood why those people insisted on walking on the roof at night, as if they were afraid that others would not see them.
However, there were too many palaces and courtyards in the Imperial Palace. There were passages everywhere. Tian Boguang himself still had some disorientation. After swaying for half an hour, he actually became confused. For a moment, he did not know where he had arrived.
Along the way, he also met a few eunuchs, serving girls, and some patrolling guards. Even though it was midnight, those who were supposed to be busy were still busy. Tian Boguang was originally a eunuch in the palace. When he was questioned, he did not give himself away and walked around smoothly. Now that he had lost his way, he couldn't ask others about it. He wondered if he should also use his lightness skill to walk on the roof, but that was too risky. Once he was discovered, he would be treated as an assassin and cause a lot of trouble.
"Little eunuch, watch your sword!"
Just as Tian Boguang stood there and was thinking about what to do next, a woman in a light pink embroidered dress and holding a long sword in her hand bounced out from the corner of the corridor. When she saw Tian Boguang with his back to her, she immediately revealed a wicked smile and stabbed the long sword in her hand at Tian Boguang.
When she appeared, Tian Boguang could already feel it. When he heard her words, he simply turned his body to the side and dodged her sword. Facing this woman who attacked him for no reason, Tian Boguang did not think about anything else for a moment. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to defeat her as if she was an enemy.
Therefore, Tian Boguang raised his hand and struck the woman's wrist with his palm. Under the pain, she could not hold the sword steadily, causing it to fall. Tian Boguang caught the sword and turned his hand horizontally towards the woman's neck.
Seeing that Tian Boguang was actually attacking her with his sword, looking like he wanted to take her life, the woman panicked. In a hurry, she could only move her feet and retreat. Tian Boguang also closed in on her with his sword without letting her escape. After retreating two or three meters, there was a wall behind her. The woman who was leaning against the wall had no way to retreat. Tian Boguang used his sword to drive her to her neck.
At this moment, Princess Yun Luo's heart was filled with despair. She watched helplessly as the eunuch charged at her with a long sword. She closed her eyes in fear. At this moment of life and death, her heart was filled with regret.
She was Yun Luo's princess, the Emperor's younger sister. She was loved by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Even her Imperial Uncle, Zhu Bujue, took good care of her. She was 18 years old this year. Although she was kind by nature, she had been unruly and willful since she was young. She loved martial arts and often fought with eunuchs when she had nothing to do. Not to mention that many eunuchs were ordinary people who did not have martial arts. Even if they had martial arts, they would not dare to defeat her. It was common for them to be beaten black and blue by her.
When the Empress Dowager disappeared, she had always been very unhappy and would often find eunuchs to vent her anger. In addition, when the Empress Dowager was not around, no one cared about her. During this period of time, she had been wandering around the palace. It was already midnight and she had not returned to her bedroom. She had just taught a eunuch a lesson and was in a good mood when she wanted to go back. She wanted to teach him a lesson, but who knew that Tian Boguang was not an ordinary eunuch? It was too late for regret!
Princess Yun Luo waited in despair for a while, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes in confusion and found that she was not dead. Tian Boguang was staring at her fiercely in front of her, and the sword in his hand was placed on her neck.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?”
Tian Boguang didn't kill her immediately because he couldn't understand why this woman would suddenly attack him. He knew that he had no interactions with this woman and that no one would send people to kill him. Therefore, he planned to ask her clearly before doing anything.
"You, you bold thief! Damned eunuch! I'm Princess Yun Luo! How dare you disrespect me? Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, my Imperial Brother and Imperial Uncle will definitely kill you!”
Yun Luo Junzhu's unruly personality flared up. After regaining her senses, she remembered that the person in front of her was a eunuch. Usually, she would allow herself to beat and scold him. Therefore, although she was not confident with a long sword around her neck, she still began to threaten Tian Boguang. At this time, if Tian Boguang retreated a little, her lack of confidence would instantly become full of confidence.
However, Tian Boguang was not frightened by her identity. Instead, he had the intention to kill her after knowing her identity. He was not an indecisive person.
"Is that so? Then do you think I'll kill you first? After that, who would know that I did it? There's no one here anyway!" Tian Boguang's words were filled with killing intent. Many people had died at his hands, and this made his body filled with killing intent. Especially when the sword in his hand was pressed against Yun Luo's neck, it broke through her delicate skin and a bright red wound appeared.
Tian Boguang's words and actions made Princess Yun Luo truly feel like she was about to die. She had no doubt that the eunuch in front of her would really kill her. This made her very frightened. She was in a state of collapse. She no longer had her original unruly attitude. Instead, she cried helplessly in an instant.
"Wu ~ Don't ~ Don't kill me! I…I won't let my royal brothers kill you. Don't kill me, I'll listen to everything you say, nothing happened, wuu…"
When Tian Boguang saw this, he hesitated for a moment before putting away his sword and taking a step back. He was thinking about what he should do to benefit the future. He couldn't just do things in front of him. It was best to take one step at a time and have a long-term plan. It was impossible to solve everything by killing.
