Chapter 2181: Chapter 2181: It’s Changing

Although His Majesty is disappointing, he is nonetheless the Emperor of the Central Imperial Country. How could he be beaten up so thoroughly by a woman in his own palace?

“Nanny, it’s best if you don’t go over there for now. Take a look at those guards,” the Ninth Prince cautioned.

If they were to go now, there would be only one outcome–being knocked out like those guards. Meanwhile, the Central Emperor would continue to be beaten without any change to the situation.

“But, His Majesty…”

“If he hadn’t done something to provoke her, would she be beating him?” The Ninth Prince countered the nanny’s concerns.

“But, but…”

The nanny understood the reasoning yet hesitated on whether she should step forward.

This is the imperial palace, after all. No matter what His Majesty wants to do, it’s within his rights. Even if he made a mistake, he shouldn’t suffer such a severe beating, should he?

And furthermore, how did these people even manage to enter the palace? Why did they start beating His Majesty at the slightest disagreement? What was going on?

“Those people aren’t from the palace. Nanny, do you have any idea where they came from?” the Ninth Prince asked.

Upon hearing this, the nanny froze momentarily, her eyes widening. These people–could they really be the ones who killed the Emperor of Beikun and helped the prime minister’s son, Shang Que, ascend to the throne?

“No… No way, right?”

Recalling the earlier news she received, she could barely believe it. Could these people have already arrived at the Central Imperial Country’s palace?

“Nanny, do you know something?”

The Ninth Prince immediately noticed the nanny’s reaction, understanding that she might know something, so he pressed further.

“This… this…”

The nanny opened her mouth, unsure of how to respond. Her complexion gradually turned paler.

“This matter has just reached the Empress Dowager as well. Reportedly, the High Priest Demon Heart from the Misty Dragon Mountain Demon Heart Hall personally came to our plane to act on behalf of the Yiinn Family.

Earlier, Beikun Kingdom replaced its Emperor with the speed of lightning. Now, the ruler of Beikun is the son of the former prime minister, Shang Que, who was placed on the throne by the High Priest himself.”

As she spoke, she nervously swallowed, her fear evident.

“So… so these people…”

“High Priest Demon Heart?”

The Ninth Prince’s lips curled into a smirk, as if something occurred to him, and he let out a soft chuckle.

“My dear royal brother truly has a knack for courting death.”

From his perspective, the woman currently punching and kicking the Central Emperor seemed exceedingly beautiful. Perhaps his lascivious royal brother had once again set his sights on the wrong person.

In the past, his royal brother had caused harm to many palace maids. Though unwilling, they dared not resist.

But this time, the royal brother had evidently met his match. That’s why he found himself bearing such a brutal beating now. And it seems there’s more trouble awaiting him before it’s over.

“Nanny, this matter is still unresolved. You’d best go and invite Mother Empress over. Without her to take charge, I’m afraid the skies of the Central Imperial Country might soon resemble those of Beikun Kingdom–set to change entirely.”

He reminded the nanny.

Upon hearing his words, the nanny’s face grew even paler.

“Ninth Prince, you’re absolutely right. I’ll go seek guidance from the Empress Dowager immediately.” Saying this, she dared not linger any longer and hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, An Jiuyue didn’t cause any permanent harm to the Central Emperor. After delivering a series of punches and kicks, she stopped. Then she retrieved a bottle of medicinal pills from her spatial pocket and handed it to Leng Yikun.

“Give him one to swallow. Don’t let him die just yet; he’s still useful.”
