Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

Pei Yu ignored the gazes falling on him and counted the days in his mind.

Soon too.

The day of the old emperor's death is approaching.

The so-called rosy complexion was just an illusion created by drugs. Using modern medical methods, the old emperor's organs had failed and his adrenaline level was rising, thus covering up the fact that he was paralyzed and his time was running out.

This was naturally the work of Xue Shenyi.

Pei Yu found an excuse to leave the palace banquet and went to the darkness of the back hall to wait.

"Your Majesty, are you waiting for me?"

Xue Shenyi walked towards him against the light, still wearing the incense from the palace banquet.

Pei Yu said nothing, but moved closer to him, sniffing the fragrance on his body.

Xue Shenyi was startled by Pei Yu's action and subconsciously took a step back, but met the half-smile in Pei Yu's eyes.

"Why is this happening, Your Majesty?" Xue Shenyi was a little annoyed.

Pei Yu tapped Xue Shenyi's chest with his fingertips, his eyes full of resentment: "Don't you really know the palm print?"

His voice was not as soft as the woman's voice that Xue Shenyi knew, but his slightly hoarse tone was full of lingering infatuation.

In the darkness of the night, Pei Yu's fingers on his chest were white and tender. Even though they were separated by two layers of clothing, they felt as hot as a branding iron.

Xue Shenyi naturally understood.

Although he was a eunuch, he had been in a high position for so many years, and there were many concubines who were not favored in the palace or maids who hoped to get his protection and wanted to climb into his bed.

The methods those people used were much more sophisticated than Pei Yu's, but Xue Shenyi had never felt his heart beating so fast.

Xue Shenyi's Adam's apple rolled, and a dark color lingered in his eyes: "I dare not understand what the Queen said."

He didn't even know the true identity of the person in front of him.

I don't know what his purpose is.

If he just wanted to save himself, Xue Shenyi could spare his life and set him free after the emperor's death.

But since Xue Shenyi realized a few days ago that the person in front of him was not an ordinary weak woman, he began to feel uncertain.

It would be easy for such a person to leave the palace. What was his real purpose in entering the palace?

Pei Yu saw the worry in Xue Shenyi's eyes. He leaned over and whispered in Xue Shenyi's ear: "Whatever Master Xue wants to know, come to Qianxi Palace to find me after the palace banquet tonight, and you will know it naturally."

After saying this, he took his leave towards Xue Shenyi as if nothing had happened.

Xue Shenyi stared at his back for a while and fell into deep thought.

Pei Yu thought that Xue Shenyi would look for him, and he ate a bunch of grapes at the palace banquet in a very good mood. However, before his joy could spread completely, he noticed something wrong.

The eunuch who was standing next to Crown Prince Xuanyuan Langche suddenly disappeared.

Pei Yu turned the grapes between his fingertips twice and realized that something was wrong.

He turned his head to look at Xue Shenyi who had just sat down, while Xue Shenyi seemed to have noticed nothing and was talking to the old emperor.

Pei Yu "..."

Oh, there is another scene like this.

It seems that Xue Shenyi really cannot come to see him tonight.

He originally wanted to tell Xue Shenyi his true identity today.

It seems that it is okay to wait a little longer.

System [If you wait a little longer and get exposed, you don’t have to worry about Xue Shenyi stabbing you to death.]

Xue Shenyi was right to doubt his identity, but he never doubted Pei Yu's gender.

When the time comes, I'll lie down on the bed with great passion, lift up my clothes and see, wow, you look like me.

It would be good if Xue Shenyi didn't get so angry that he stabbed Pei Yu.

Pei Yu was much calmer [He couldn't bear to let go.]

System [……] Ugh!

The next performance was by a zither player, who was as tall as jade and had a handsome face.

Smooth and melodious music flowed out from his piano, and just when everyone was immersed in the music, something unexpected happened.

The zither player's eyes narrowed, and he exerted force with his wrist. After the zither turned over, he took out a long sword from the back and used the zither as a bow to shoot at the emperor.

It all happened so fast that there was no time to react.

Just when everyone's heart skipped a beat, a figure flashed in front of the old emperor and blocked the arrow.

Xue Shenyi's pupils instantly dilated: "Empress!"

The musician was stunned for a moment, not expecting anyone to block the arrow. Soon, a group of masked men in black rushed in from all sides of the palace banquet and protected the musician in the middle.

Xue Shenyi rushed over and hugged Pei Yu in his arms. Looking at his red shoulders stained with blood, his face turned ashen.

"Are you crazy?!" Xue Shenyi stared at Pei Yu's face, angrily.

Pei Yu put his hand on his shoulder, covering the wound that was constantly bleeding, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

This assassination was arranged by Xue Shenyi, and the purpose was certainly not to kill the old emperor directly at the palace banquet.

The arrow is not heavy and the arrowhead is not sharp. It looks scary when it pierces the skin, but it only hurts the flesh.

Pei Yu raised his chin and motioned Xue Shenyi to look at the old emperor who had fainted from fear: "Why don't you do it quickly? He will be frightened to death in a moment."

Xue Shenyi gritted his teeth: "Just wait!"

Pei Yu responded: "Okay, I'll wait."

Xue Shenyi carefully put Pei Yu away and turned to join the chaos.

The prince on the other side was already confused. His original plan was to block the arrow for the emperor, but he never expected that Pei Yu got there first.

Seeing that he could not gain any credit in this way, Xuanyuan Langche gritted his teeth and joined the battle.

But soon Xuanyuan Langche realized that something was wrong. The number of men in black in the hall was increasing. Sweat broke out on his forehead and panic surged in his heart.

He only spent a lot of money to hire a dozen people, but why did the people in the palace seem to be endless? And why did they kill people everywhere?

Before Xuanyuan Langche could even notice clearly, a large, shining knife was already flying towards his face.

Xuanyuan Langche didn't have time to let out the scream in his mouth. In great fear, he could only watch the white light getting closer and closer.

The expected pain did not come, but instead a hot stream sprayed on his face, followed by a strong smell of rust rushing into his nostrils.

When Xuanyuan Langche opened his eyes, he saw a headless corpse slowly sliding down. He could also clearly see the red liquid gushing out from the cut.

The round head rolled all the way to his feet, and his face still maintained the expression it had before death, as if he didn't know that his head would be chopped off the next moment.

Xuanyuan Langche's stomach twisted and then he vomited violently, wishing he could vomit out everything in his stomach. Then his eyes turned black and he fainted.

Xue Shenyi glanced at Xuanyuan Langche, with a hint of subtle sarcasm in his eyes. He grabbed the collar of an assassin and wiped his neck as easily as killing a pig.

He was like a killing god. Wherever he went, there was a scarlet color. Soon his body and face were covered with blood, but he seemed not to notice it and was collecting people's heads like he was collecting wheat.

Xue Shenyi grabbed the head of one of the assassins and threw it to the ground like trash with a cold look in his eyes.

Blood flowed down the sword in his hand like an endless stream.

The assassins looked at each other, and saw fear in each other's eyes. They threw down their weapons in fear and dared not fight Xue Shenyi anymore.

Afterwards, Zhong Fan and the imperial guards arrived and took the assassins to jail.
