Chapter 2241: Chapter 2241: Imperial Guards
This matter has always been handled by Eunuch Li, and the Emperor didn’t pay much attention. While picking up a memorial to the throne and looking down at it, he said, "Hmm, you may go! I will review the memorial for a while longer."
"Yes!"
After speaking, Eunuch Li took two steps forward, preparing to walk out of the Imperial Study Room. Suddenly, he felt a blankness in his mind, hurriedly pressed his hand against his forehead, and a pained expression appeared on his face. After a while, he put his hand down, his eyes turned crimson, and his expression became wooden. He expressionlessly turned around and walked toward the Emperor, who was seated at the Dragon Desk...
One step, two steps, three steps, getting closer and closer to the Emperor.
At this moment, a Little Eunuch’s shout came from outside the door: "Reporting to the Emperor, Zhao Yin requests an audience."
Since the disappearance of the Insect Person, the Emperor had not seen Zhao Yin for a long time. Hearing that he came, he was momentarily stunned and then looked up and said, "Let him come in!"
"Huh! Eunuch Li, why are you still here? Weren’t you going to the Imperial Study Room?" Seeing Eunuch Li’s strange expression and stiff movements as he approached him, the Emperor was puzzled.
Eunuch Li said nothing, still closing in on the Emperor, step by step.
The Emperor was somewhat angry; Eunuch Li was bold indeed, daring to ignore him.
"Eunuch Li, I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?" The Emperor slammed the memorial down and shouted sternly at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li, originally expressionless, upon hearing the Emperor’s shout, suddenly widened his eyes, let out a strange cry, and suddenly lunged at the Emperor...
The Emperor, startled, quickly stood up from the Dragon Throne and dodged aside.
"Bang!"
Eunuch Li punched the Dragon Desk, making a loud noise.
"You... you... do you intend to rebel?" The Emperor could hardly believe his eyes. Usually, Eunuch Li was very timid, barely speaking aloud, but today he seemed to have the Courage of Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Gall and dared to hit him.
Just as the Emperor finished his words, Eunuch Li, eyes red, charged at him again. The Emperor was terrified and turned to flee.
At first, he ran around the Imperial Study Room, running dozens of laps until he was exhausted.
Finally, a bright idea struck the Emperor, and he decided to run out of the Imperial Study Room for help.
"Help! Someone come! Eunuch Li has gone mad," the Emperor babbled, shouting as he ran.
Eunuch Li relentlessly pursued from behind.
There were originally only the two of them in the Imperial Study Room.
Zhao Yin stood at the door, nervously tidying his clothes, intending to step inside as he lifted his head.
Suddenly, a shadow darted out from inside, nearly knocking Zhao Yin to the ground.
After staggering and barely managing to stand firm, he was still unsure of the situation when another shadow swiftly emerged. Before he could see clearly who it was, someone hit him several times with force. Instantly, he felt a tearing pain spread through his body.
"Oh dear, who? Who hit me?"
In the chaos, he heard the panicked shout of a Little Eunuch next to his ear: "Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li, what’s wrong with you? He’s Minister Zhao, stop hitting him, stop hitting him."
However, Eunuch Li turned a deaf ear, straddling Zhao Yin, raining down punches with strangely immense strength.
The Emperor, flustered and bewildered, stood at a distance, shouting with all his might, "Imperial Guards! Imperial Guards, where are you all dead? Come quickly! Eunuch Li’s intent is treason, apprehend him."
Just as the Emperor finished speaking, Imperial Guards came flooding in from all directions in waves.
