Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Yang Shanming frowned tightly, his face full of suspicion, and asked in a serious tone: "Could it be that everyone in the entire palace knows about this now?"

His gaze was as sharp as a torch, as if it could penetrate the soul of the person before him.

The young eunuch was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his voice trembled involuntarily, and even became a little erratic: "Reply... reply to your words, it is... it is indeed so. Everyone I have met has already known about this matter."

At this moment, he only felt his legs go weak, and he could hardly stand, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This Lord Yang is really too terrifying!

Just a glance was filled with endless cruelty and majesty, making people dare not look at him. Thinking of this, the young eunuch couldn't help but shudder, secretly complaining in his heart.

"Has the specific time for the draft been decided?"

Yang Shanming's eyes were like those of an eagle, staring at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the other person's body to see his innermost thoughts.

This matter must not be allowed to go wrong, he must get to the bottom of it!

After all, this concerns the future and fate of his precious daughter, and even more so the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of their entire Yang family!

Facing Yang Shanming's sharp gaze, the young eunuch couldn't help but tremble all over, lowering his head even lower, and replied tremblingly: "Reply...reply to your Excellency, I...I don't know too much. I just heard that it should be very soon..."

When he spoke the last few words, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and helplessness, and tears were about to come out - the look in Lord Yang's eyes was too terrifying, as if he wanted to eat him. How should he deal with it?

Is there anyone who can come and rescue him?

"So what preparations have you made?"

Yang Shanming questioned the trembling little eunuch in front of him with a serious face.

His sharp hawk-like eyes stared at the other person, as if trying to see through his lowered head and see through his true thoughts.

The young eunuch's body was trembling slightly, and his head was lowered almost to the ground, as if he was afraid that if he raised his head he would meet Yang Shanming's majestic gaze.

He complained inwardly, "Oh my God! You are such a joke! Lord Yang is the head of our Imperial Household Department. He usually manages trivial matters inside and outside the palace. Why is he suddenly interested in palace affairs today? What's worse is that he asked about a small errand boy like me... How can I know the details of such a big thing as the Emperor's selection of concubines?"

Thinking of this, the young eunuch couldn't hold it in any longer and peed! Pee! ...!

Yang Shanming seemed to have seen something extremely disgusting. He suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and stepped back several steps.

His eyes revealed deep disgust and contempt without any concealment, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person but a pile of disgusting garbage.

"Is this all you can do? You are such a loser! Get out of here right now! Don't make my way dirty!"

Yang Shanming shouted angrily, his voice was so loud that the air around him seemed to tremble slightly.

The poor little eunuch never dreamed that he would be so frightened that he lost his composure and wet his pants on the spot.

In an instant, his face turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless; at the same time, his heart was filled with endless shame, fear and embarrassment.

The young eunuch felt dizzy, his vision was blurry, and his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand.

He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out to see anyone again, but his body was shaking uncontrollably. Fearing the scolding from Lord Yang, he could only turn around with difficulty and stagger away.

Seeing him running away, Yang Shanming sneered disdainfully: Useless guy!

He thought for a moment and quickly walked towards the Palace's Internal Affairs Department.

"Sir, why have you come here?" At this time, there was only one eunuch in the Imperial Household Department.

After seeing the person coming, the eunuch hurried forward and said flatteringly, "The steward just happened to have some business to deal with outside, otherwise how about you wait here for a while? I will go and call him over right away."

However, before the eunuch could take a step, Yang Shanming stopped him with his hand and asked, "I heard that the emperor is about to hold a beauty pageant. Is this true? Have you received any relevant notice?"

Facing Yang Shanming's question, the eunuch was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud:

"Haha, so the lord is here for this matter! As for this matter... I don't know where the news came from. We servants have not received any definite notice from the top. However, I heard that many young men are discussing this privately. The steward has already gone to investigate the situation in person. When he returns, he will naturally know the truth."

Hearing this, Yang Shanming could not help but frown slightly and asked, "So, who do you plan to ask about this matter?"

The eunuch answered without thinking: "Of course, I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen! After all, such an important event as the selection of concubines has always been managed by the Queen, and it has been like this since ancient times!"

After saying this, the eunuch seemed to realize that he had said too much and quickly covered his mouth.

They all knew that Yang Shanming disliked the Queen.

After hearing this, Yang Shanming was silent for a moment, and suddenly a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he ordered the eunuch in a firm tone: "Go and call back your supervisor immediately, and don't let him bother the queen again!"

The bewildered eunuch stood there blankly, as if he had lost his soul. He had no idea how to deal with the situation. His mouth opened wide and he stammered, "Ah? Then... then our supervisor may have already arrived at the Queen's place." His voice was filled with fear and helplessness.

Seeing this, Yang Shanming became extremely anxious and urged loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly! Even if he has gone to the Queen, you must find a way to bring him back to me!" His eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

However, the eunuch seemed very timid and answered tremblingly: "Then...then I really don't dare! If I anger the Queen, I can't bear the blame!"

As he spoke, his body involuntarily stepped back.

Yang Shanming was immediately furious and shouted angrily, "Just go when I tell you to! You are usually very quick and efficient when it comes to taking money, but why are you so slow when it comes to doing things? Do you want me to do it myself?"

Before he finished speaking, he kicked the eunuch hard.

The eunuch cried out in pain, but still looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "But...but if the steward has already reported it to the Queen, then I...I can't do anything about it."

After hearing this, Yang Shanming frowned, thought for a moment and said viciously: "If he really said it, you tell him that you heard it wrong, and then forcibly pull him back!"

After saying that, he kicked the eunuch again.

The eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away." But he was still a little hesitant and continued to ask, "But...but isn't it too risky to do this? If the Queen finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yang Shanming could no longer contain his anger and kicked again, roaring, "Stop talking nonsense! Go! Just say the Imperial Household Department is on fire!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch showed a look of astonishment on his face, and shouted in panic: "Ah? There's a fire? Where is it? The Ministry of Internal Affairs? No... No? Is it on your side? Then let me call for help to put out the fire? Will it be too late? It's too far away!"

Looking at this chatterbox in front of him, Yang Shanming felt dizzy, as if his life span had been shortened by several years because of him!

He suppressed his anger and shouted through gnashing teeth: "Stop talking nonsense! Do what I say right now! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"
