The teacup had been thrown over by his master, so the eunuch didn't dare to avoid it. He gritted his teeth and forcibly received the teacup's attack.
When the teacup smashed onto his cheek, it immediately turned red. The teacup fell to the ground with an ear-piercing sound.
"Princess, please calm your anger, please calm your anger," The young eunuch lay prone on the ground, enduring the pain as he told Princess Xiwei what he had just learned.
"The adults in the institute said that after the Grand Commandant assigned a mission to the Master Su, the Master Su took the book and left. He did not say anything, and no one knows where he went, while this servant went to the Compendium Pavilion, and discovered that the door to the Compendium Pavilion was locked, but there was no one guarding the door. "
Princess Xiwei narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked: "Are you sure it's locked …?"
"This servant can see everything clearly. The library's wooden door was locked by someone. Without a doubt!"
"Alright!" Princess Xiwei's lips curved up in a big smile. No matter what the others did, he would send the news to him.
In any case, this news was not bad for him at all.
Princess Xiwei looked at the young eunuch who was almost on the ground and said: "Go and tell this news to Seventh Prince, then … You can come back and take a beating. "
The eunuch's face instantly turned white, but as a servant, no matter how good he was at being a servant, he was still a servant.
If the master was unhappy, he could punish you. If the master was unhappy, he could punish you.
The little eunuch clenched his teeth and stood up. The little palace maid by the side of Princess Xiwei gave him a token-like object, and after receiving it, he could only endure the pain on his face as he ran out of the palace and ran towards the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
"Seventh Brother, this City Lord Su is in trouble. Go … Or not to help him? "
Princess Xiwei turned around and laughed softly. That kind of laughter, when heard by the little palace maid serving him, was extremely terrifying.
Seventh Prince's Mansion
After the young eunuch finished handling the matters that the Princess Xiwei had instructed him to do, he returned to the palace to report and take advantage of that mysterious plank.
Qian Yi was silent for a moment, then pushed open the wooden door and said to the youth who was lazily leaning on the couch: "Master, Princess Xiwei has sent someone to report, said … City Lord Su is trapped in the library and can't get out. "
The youth's expression was lazy, and his eyes that were half closed slowly opened. He glanced at the bowing Qian Yi, and unhurriedly said: "Today is one day."
Since it was a one-day affair, the Compendium Pavilion wouldn't be allowed in, who wouldn't know of such a thing?
Besides... Even if they didn't know, the guards at the entrance of the Compendium Pavilion would definitely not let anyone in.
How could Su Jinruo be in the library?
However, Qian Yi frowned and said: "This subordinate understands, but the people from the Princess Xiwei said that he just went to the Compendium Pavilion, and there are no guards downstairs at all."
Hearing this, the youth's eyes suddenly narrowed as a strange expression appeared in his pitch-black eyes.
Su Jinruo flipped through a page of the document, his jade-like finger slowly slid down the page, until finally reaching a single word, he suddenly saw the shadow of a snake in his eyes.
Su Jinruo's heart jumped, he almost threw the document in his hands out.
When he looked again, there was no trace of the snake on the page.
Su Jinruo raised his hands, closed his eyes, rubbed them, and said in his heart:
Could it be that he had been watching it for too long, causing him to fall into a hallucination …
However, thinking about it, he felt that something was not right. In the past, when he was holding onto a book and reading for a whole day, he did not see any illusions. Now that it had only been a few hours …
Su Jinruo immediately felt that something was amiss.
She lowered her hand and opened her eyes.
The room seemed to darken all of a sudden. It was as if he was in the dark and couldn't see his hands at all when there was no light on.
Su Jinruo immediately stood up, feeling unsettled by the strange scene in front of him.
It was still clear that it was a sunny day just now, how could the sun suddenly turn pitch-black?!
Soon after, within his pitch-black eyes, a sliver of light slowly ignited. Gradually, the light became brighter and brighter.
As the darkness receded, leaving a light trail like dusk, the face of Su Jinruo, who should have been relieved, suddenly changed drastically.
Snakes...
Many snakes, intertwined one by one, spat out their cores and slowly approached her without fear.
Su Jinruo frowned, he did not think, and immediately took action, wanting to kill the poisonous snakes that approached him.
But, when the profound Spirit Qi struck the poisonous snakes, they should have all been thrown away, but Su Jinruo realized that the poisonous snakes were still moving steadily.
The power she displayed just now didn't seem to have any effect on them.
Su Jinruo looked at his palm, and then his dantian, where his Qi was still present.
[What the hell is going on?]
Su Jinruo's serene and deep eyes narrowed. Suddenly, she heard a pitiful cry.
"Father, Father does not want this. Jinruo does not want to sleep together with those snakes. They are so terrifying. Jinruo begs Father, no, no... "
A child of about five or six years old, who was wearing a black casual attire, knelt outside the dimly lit training field.
He raised his head to look at a man with long hair and wearing a long robe. He cried and shouted to the man. His pair of black and white eyes were clearly filled with pleading.
The robed man had an imposing appearance, but he was already past the prime of his life. His voice was almost devoid of warmth.
"Jinruo, listen carefully. You are the Young Palace Master, and in the future, you will be someone who can take over from my father's position. In the future, you will be the first Demon Palace Master, and you can command all of the followers of the Demon Palace. Do you know, Jinruo? "
He shook his head, and continued to shake it, "Father, Jinruo doesn't want to be some Young Palace Master, he doesn't want to be some Demon Palace Master, and Jinruo even more so doesn't want to be with them. Father, Jinruo begs Father, I beg of you, please beg of you … "Ow!"
"This matter …" The robed man raised his head and looked at the top of his head. He then revealed the emotions in his eyes that others could not see, "It's not up to you!"
He waved his hand, and the same long haired man in blue walked up to him. He half knelt on the ground, with a respectful attitude that bordered on piety, "Mistress, all the people in the training ground are poisonous snakes. Your subordinate has confirmed it."
When the boy heard this, his body that was kneeling on the ground instantly went limp.
He looked at the man in the robe in disbelief, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but tremble.
Was this his father?
Was it that warm and loving father who was in harmony with his mother, Ginser?
Was it that father who held him in his hands and took care of him?
Is that so … Is that so?!
"Father... Jinruo will be bitten to death by a poisonous snake, father … "
The robed man didn't even look at him. "Bring him in."
Tears filled the boy's eyes when he heard this.
The blue clothed man accepted the order and walked in front of the boy. He half knelt down and opened the boy's small hand that was so terrified that he couldn't even clench his fist.
The man in blue placed a dagger in the boy's palm, then let the boy's fingers grip the dagger tightly.
Picking up the boy, the blue-clothed man ignored the boy's struggles and bitterly cursed. He placed the boy next to the poisonous snakes and in the blink of an eye, the blue-clothed man disappeared without a trace.
The boy, on the other hand, saw a group of poisonous snakes nearing him unceasingly.
The boy collapsed in the training field, beside him... There was no father, no mother, no sister. There was no one by his side, only himself.
He was crying as he called for his mother and sister while staring at the vipers. His hands gripped his dagger tightly as he kicked backwards, trying to get away from the vipers.
The heavens were never kind. They would never help someone just because they cried and screamed.
The boy retreated to the snow-white wall, but his feet were still stamping nonstop. After a second, he realized he had nowhere to retreat to!
The boy's lips were trembling uncontrollably. A venomous snake was already slithering across his ankles, and he was just about to continue moving upwards.
The boy's eyes widened, and he suddenly screamed out loud as if he had gone mad. The dagger in his hand, without any pattern, stabbed at the poisonous snake's body in a disorderly manner.
The boy couldn't get rid of the blood color in his eyes.
The strong smell of blood urged the snakes to approach one by one.
The boy's eyes seemed to burn with red light. His dagger was stained with even more blood. His casual clothes had long since been dyed red with blood.
That night was a war between people and snakes, a war between life and death.
This scene...
This familiar scene caused Su Jinruo's heart to tremble violently.
The light around him grew stronger and stronger. Su Jinruo stood at his original position and watched as the boy walked out of the training grounds.
The golden rays of the sun enveloped his body. His clothes, covered in blood, were especially eye-catching under the sunlight.
The boy's face was also covered in bloodstains. They were coming out in circles from the body of the poisonous snake.
The robed man stood in front of the boy. Beside him was a little girl.
The boy was stupefied. He glanced at the man in the robe, and his gaze then landed on the girl beside him.
With his lips moving, he silently called out for his sister. Then, his vision darkened and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Before he fainted, the boy heard a voice calling out in concern.
That was … Sister's voice.
The scene began to move, the light changing with it.
Su Jinruo lowered his eyes as his tightened heart began to tighten even more.
The woman in white spoke softly, "Father, please let little brother rest for a while. He has been tired all day and still has no time to catch his breath. Purple Shadow wants …"
The robed man rejected him without question. "No, he, is the Young Hall Master. This is his mission."
The white-clothed woman bit her lips as she looked at the boy who had grown up to be a youth. A trace of affection flashed through her eyes.
After the man left, the woman in white jogged to her side and blocked the youth's path. The warrior who had exchanged blows with the youth immediately stopped and bowed to the woman in white.
The white-clothed woman took the opportunity to turn around and take out a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine from her sleeve.
He applied medicine to the cut on the young man's hand. With just a glance, the woman's eyes immediately reddened as tears dripped down from her lips. "Little brother, you've suffered …"
A trace of calmness that didn't match his age appeared on the youth's immature face as he said indifferently, "It's only a small wound, Big Sister Mo You."
"No, this isn't a small wound …" The white-clothed woman's eyes were filled with tears. "Big sister promised mother that she would take good care of little brother. But now, I've reneged on my promise …"
With a boom, the memories in Su Jinruo's mind were slowly opened, matching the scene in front of his eyes.
Su Jinruo's gaze was broken, looking at the lady dressed in white, she wanted to ask, why?
His mother had died early on. His father might have loved her …
For the first time in her life, the blood-thirsty slaughter had been a cruel and merciless one.
Those snakes, in fact, were not poisonous. They were merely a lie that her father wanted her to make up her mind.
But her father's love was too cruel for her to accept.
Only elder sister …
Ever since she was young, whenever she suffered a small injury, even if it was a small scratch, her sister would blame herself for being heartbroken for a long time.
She stood off to the side, silently accepting her sister's meticulous care and care, as well as the gentle, watery love that she felt for her mother.
Before her father died, he told her that the Demon Palace only passed down the teachings of not passing on to either males or females, and that she, Su Jinruo, was able to become the Young Palace Master because her father loved his mother too much.
After giving birth to her, her mother's body was not as healthy as before, and she could not have another child at all.
As a result, her father wanted her to disguise as a man and become the young palace master.
Before her father died, he asked her, "Do you blame him?"
