The Imperial Palace.
In the resplendent bedchamber.
A beautiful woman in her mid-twenties was lying lazily on the dragon bed.
Beneath the hem of her dress, a pair of snow-white, plump, yet slender, beautiful legs could be seen at a glance.
"Eunuch Qiu, Xiao An Zi, have you returned from the East Chamber?”
The woman held the memorial in one hand, her charming phoenix eyes wandering around as if she had a heavy heart.
"Your Majesty, not yet. However, this old servant has just sent someone to the East Chamber to ask.”Qiu Huaili said.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed through the skylight of the hall's dome and landed steadily in the center of the hall!
"How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the emperor's bedroom!"
"Someone come! There are thorns-"
Qiu Huaili was shocked. Before he could finish the word 'guest', he had already seen the other party's face.
He quickly retreated.
Only Zhou An and the Water Empress were left in the hall.
"I am Zhou An! Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhou An's expression was cold. His blood-stained hands trembled slightly as he untied a bag.
"Xiao An Zi, what did you bring for me?”
However, the empress was calm and relaxed as she lazily glanced at the other party.
In the next moment, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes!
Zhou an
Why did this young man, whom she had watched grow up, change his appearance?
At this moment, although Zhou An's facial features had not changed, his skin was as fair as jade, and his eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting. His entire aura was extremely handsome, regardless of gender!
"About that, Xiao An, I asked you to go undercover in the East Chamber. You didn't really cut it, did you?”
the empress blurted out.
"That's not important. What's important is this-"
Zhou An opened the bag with an indifferent expression. Inside was a bloody head!
"Hmm?"
A trace of surprise flashed across the empress's face, but she soon regained her cool expression."I didn't expect you to really poison Liu Jin. Well done. It seems that this Manager Liu is indeed as people say. He is cruel and cold to the outside world, but he trusts the inside world.”
"Yes." Zhou An nodded.
"What reward do you want? Tell me, I like you more and more now.”
The empress sat up from the bed and moved her waist slightly. She stood beside Zhou An.
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, this servant wants the position of the supervisor of the East Chamber!”
Zhou An took out a bloodstained factory official token from his bosom.""Just based on this! With His Majesty's instructions, this matter should not be difficult!”
"It's not difficult."
The empress returned to the dragon couch and elegantly crossed her snow-white legs. She asked with interest,"Then tell me, why do you want the position of the East Chamber's Chamber Lord?”
"With Liu Jin's death, the West Chamber, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the Sacred Martial Arts Institute will certainly take advantage of the situation to expand!" Zhou An said solemnly.”
"All these years, His Majesty has been using ingenious methods to balance these four factions. The reason why you sent a servant to kill Liu Jin was also because Liu Jin was ambitious and crossed the line, destroying the political balance!”
He took a step forward and said coldly,"If I'm not wrong, at this moment, His Majesty's thoughts are to appoint Liu Jin's adopted son, Liu Yi, as the master of the East Chamber!"”
"However, what I want to tell Your Majesty is this!”
"Liu Yi, this kind of trash who betrayed foster father and has mediocre talent, I'm afraid he can't bear the great responsibility of Your Majesty!”
Zhou An's eyes were bright as he stared at the woman on the dragon bed who everyone looked up to." If Your Majesty wants to protect the East Chamber as your own force, the best person you can rely on is me! Zhou An!"
Seemingly shocked by Zhou An's knowledge, the empress was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she forced herself to be calm and said,"Little An Zi, remember when I took you away from the fishing village on the coast of the East Sea, you didn't know any martial arts at all.”
"In the past two years, you've been quite talented and have broken through to the Xiantian realm. However, you can't be the master of the East Chamber just because of this.”
"Even if I let you do it, others will not accept it. Do you understand?”
"Understood!"
Zhou An knew this woman's character all too well. She favored the strong!
Therefore, he chose to be reckless to the end. I've already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm! If anyone dared to refuse, he would just kill them!”
"Hehe, just kill him? Xiao An Zi, you're really getting more and more impressive. Don't tell me you really think that no one can stop you just because you poisoned Liu Jin?”
"You said you have the ability to do so. I'm asking you, how do you prove it?!" The empress's tone was already somewhat cold.”
Zhou An had been waiting for this sentence. He said resolutely,"The Eight Tigers of the West Chamber have done many evil things. In recent years, they have invaded the fertile fields of the people everywhere, stirred up conflicts in the martial arts world, and intensified the conflict between the imperial court and the martial artists.”
"Unfortunately, the eight tigers had rendered meritorious service to the former emperor in protecting him back then, and each of them had a death-exemption medallion. His Majesty had only succeeded to the throne for a few years, and his foundation was not stable, so it was not convenient for him to take action! So-"
Zhou An's tone changed, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp."Let me do it for you! Tonight, kill eight tigers! And make the Inner Palace a bright place!"
These words were filled with killing intent and soared into the clouds, shaking the main hall and making clanging sounds!
The empress looked at the young man in front of her in a daze. After a while, she lay down on the dragon couch and closed the curtains.
A cold and dignified voice came from behind the curtain."
"Come back to me before dawn. I want to see the heads of the Eight Tigers. If it's done, you will be the master of the East Chamber. You will supervise all the officials.”
"If it doesn't work out, I only want a head!”
"Your head!"
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Zhou An resolutely came out.
He had always been a person who had a fierce tiger in his heart and acted after planning.
When he had just transmigrated, his aptitude was average and he was passive in every aspect.
Now that the system had descended, fate and opportunity must be grasped in his own hands!
In his eyes, the Eight Tigers of the West Yard were like fish on a chopping board.
This night, the Imperial City was destined to be filled with blood!
......
"Xiao An Zi, Xiao An Zi, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were unusual.”
Xiao Qingmei, the 13th Empress of the Great Xuan Dynasty, lay naked on the dragon bed and found that she could not calm down.
Strange, why am I worried about a servant?
