Three quarters of the hour.
Zhou An arrived outside the Fairy Palace as promised and prepared to attend the banquet.
"Governor Zhou, His Majesty and Princess Huai Zhen have been waiting in the Imperial Garden for a long time."
The Imperial Eunuch Qiu Huaili came up to him and called for the other eunuchs to bring him a luxurious sedan.
Zhou An suddenly looked at a group of Imperial Army soldiers clad in golden armor, who were patrolling in a majestic formation.
"Eunuch Qiu, shouldn't the Yulin Royal Guards be guarding the Fairy Palace today? Why is it the turn of the Golden Guards?"
Ever since he had taken over as the East Chamber's Chamber Duke, the spies of the East Chamber had been reporting a large amount of information every day, from the movements of the officials of the imperial court to the guards of each area of the Imperial Palace.
Therefore, he knew everything in the palace like the back of his hand.
"Today, the commander of the Royal Guards, Jin Xuan, suddenly claimed illness and asked for leave.”
Qiu Huaili replied.
"Such a situation is indeed rare."
Zhou An was deep in thought, then he sat on the carriage.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the imperial garden.
Zhou An got out of the carriage and passed through a classical and unique flower corridor.
He saw two peerless beauties standing beside a sumptuous banquet, chatting and laughing.
Needless to say, they were the empress and Princess Huaizhen.
They saw two pairs of the noblest sisters in the Great Xuan Empire. One was young and sweet, the other was plump and mature, one was "small" and the other was "big". Both pairs of beautiful legs had their own charms.
"Aiyo! Xiao An Zi, you're finally here! BenGong's stomach is almost starving!"
The Eldest Princess, Xiao Huaizhen, quickly noticed him and skipped over.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Eldest Princess.”Zhou An hurriedly said.
"Damn! There were no outsiders here, so there was no need for so much etiquette!”
Xiao Huaizhen held Zhou An's arm intimately." Royal Sister! Let me tell you! Xiao An Zi was very powerful now! Today, he had beaten those arrogant Japanese until they knelt down!”
"I also know about this matter."
The empress frowned." Huai Zhen, as the Eldest Princess, you can't be too close to an internal official.”
"What's the big deal? He's Xiao An Zi! It's not like it's anyone else!"
Xiao Huaizhen playfully stuck out his tongue.
"Zhen Zhen says no means no!" The empress's tone actually had a hint of a woman's resentment.
"Alright, Royal Sister, don't be angry.”
Xiao Huaizhen pouted, feeling wronged.
At this moment, the three of them looked embarrassed.
Then, they sat down at the banquet table.
The atmosphere was finally a little better with the help of Xiao Huaizhen, the innocent girl.
She happily talked about interesting things in the martial arts world, the unique skills of various martial arts sects, the legends of land immortals, and so on.
This made the empress and Zhou An yearn for it.
"Xiao An Zi." the empress suddenly called out softly.
"Your subject is here." Zhou An said.
"By the way, Zhou An, last time... You helped me expel the poison and I haven't thanked you yet. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?”
Perhaps she was drunk, but the empress's face was slightly red as she caressed Zhou An's thigh.
"Eh? Royal Sister, are you poisoned? When did this happen?" Xiao Huaizhen said nervously.
"About three months ago. Princess, don't worry. His Majesty's gu poison has been completely expelled.”
When Zhou An heard the empress take the initiative to mention this matter, he knew that she had already completely digested what happened that night.
He just didn't know.
What was she thinking about him now?
Zhou An was pondering when he suddenly sensed something.
"Stop!"
He stood up abruptly and grabbed the two eunuchs who were serving the dishes.""Speak! Which yamen are you from?"
"I... If you want to answer, we are..."
The two eunuchs were sweating profusely. One of them replied,""We are from the Divine Palace!"
"Oh." Zhou An smiled." Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has cut down many internal affairs yamen. This Divine Palace Supervisor is one of them. I'm afraid the two of you are still alive in the previous dynasty, right?”
"Kill them!"
The two eunuchs looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly changed. Killing intent appeared!
Clang!
Zhou An slit the throat of a eunuch and was about to capture the other eunuch alive. However, the empress beat him to it and broke all the bones in the other eunuch's body. Then, she lifted him up like a loach!
"If I'm not wrong, the Fairy Hall has already been surrounded.”
Zhou An said.
At the same time, countless terrifying footsteps and shouts came from outside.
"Xiao An Zi, listen! It seems like the Imperial Army has arrived!" Eldest Princess Xiao Huaizhen also drew her sword and stood up.
"It's the Imperial Army, but it's hard to say if it's the Imperial Army loyal to His Majesty.”Zhou An had a profound expression.
Hearing this, both of them were shocked.
