"Greetings, Saint Madam!"
When the eunuch who was leading Duan Hu saw the woman walking towards him, he quickly knelt down and bowed.
Saint Madam?
Duan Hu looked at the woman in her thirties standing not far away from him.
This woman was definitely not Emperor Tianqi's concubine. If she was, the eunuchs in the palace would not address her as Madam.
Duan Hu suddenly thought of a woman.
This woman had a special status in the Imperial Palace. Although she was not Emperor Tianqi's biological mother, she was Emperor Tianqi's adoptive mother.
This woman was called Ke Yinyue.
It was rumored that Wei Zhongxian's power was closely related to this woman called Ke Yinyue.
The previous pen-wielding eunuch, Wang An, was killed by Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian.
Moreover, the repeated miscarriages of Empress Zhang Yan's pregnancy and stillbirth were all closely related to Ke Yinyue.
If the woman in front of him was Ke Yinyue.
Duan Hu did not say anything. He only cupped his hands slightly at Ke Yinyue and then made way for the corridor in front of him.
"How dare you! This is the Saint Madam! Why aren't you kneeling and bowing when you see her?”
A beautiful maid beside Ke Yinyue pointed at Duan Hu.
Duan Hu frowned.
"What nonsense are you spouting, girl who doesn't know manners? This is the Emperor's loyal and brave uncle Duan Hu, Lord Duan.”Ke Yinyue sized up Duan Hu with her seductive eyes.
"Lord Duan really has an extraordinary appearance. It's been a long time since BenGong has seen such a valiant man like Lord Duan.”
Ke Yinyue extended her delicate hand to cover her red lips as she laughed.
At this moment, Duan Hu was wearing armor, and there was an indescribable domineering and sharp aura on his body.
In addition, he had just returned from killing enemies at the border, and his body was still stained with a trace of killing intent.
Compared to the Imperial Guards and the Golden Guards in the palace, they looked more like soldiers.
"Saint Madam, you flatter me."
Duan Hu said indifferently.
Ke Yinyue took two steps forward, and the fragrance from her body entered Duan Hu's nostrils.
The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads.
Ke Yinyue came to Duan Hu's side and sized him up.
That gaze was as if it wanted to swallow Duan Hu alive.
Duan Hu was no longer unfamiliar with this kind of gaze.
Women in Liaodong were bold and unconstrained, and their personalities were extremely fierce.
When he was defending Liaodong, Duan Hu could often see those women glancing back and forth at him with the same gaze.
Moreover, Duan Hu was still unmarried. Fortunately, some bold girls even deliberately brushed past him and rubbed their soft parts on his arm.
At this moment, Ke Yinyue's actions were no different from those women.
Ke Yinyue, who was striding forward, was almost sticking to Duan Hu.
The bulge in her chest gently brushed against his arm.
"Lord Duan, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the palace tonight.”
Ke Yinyue leaned close to Duan Hu's ear and said,""There are a few jars of good wine in the palace. When the time comes, please have a good taste!”
Ke Yinyue lowered her voice and whispered into Duan Hu's ear.
And he emphasized the word 'savor'.
Duan Hu smiled.
"I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave now!”
Duan Hu brushed past Ke Yinyue after he finished speaking.
Ke Yinyue licked her fiery red lips as she watched Duan Hu leave.
.........................
Duan Hu had just stepped out of the Imperial Palace when the carriage lit up and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
The coachman cupped his fists and stood in front of Duan Hu.
"Lord Duan, my lord has invited you to board the carriage for a chat.”
The coachman pointed at a bright carriage parked there.
Duan Hu didn't need to guess to know who it was.
After opening the curtain of the carriage, he saw the Minister of War, Sun Chengzong, in the carriage.
"Lord Sun, may I know why you are waiting for me here?”
Duan Hu asked Sun Chengzong after sitting down.
Sun Chengzong's expression was a little complicated, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"Lord Sun, if there's nothing else, then this Duan won't accompany you. The brothers are still waiting for this Duan to return!”
Duan Hu stood up and was about to leave.
"Uncle Zhong Yong, please wait!" Sun Chengzong saw that Duan Hu was about to leave and quickly stopped him.
"Courage Uncle, I'm waiting here to apologize to Courage Uncle.”Sun Chengzong looked at Duan Hu and said.
"Apologize? Apologize for what?" Duan Hu frowned.
