Chapter VIII The Palace Gate is Closed(2/2)
If Emperor Xia did not survive and passed away, then who would be the next emperor of Great Xia would be related to the prosperity, wealth, power and status of these people, and they could not help but ignore it!
So after receiving the news that the current Xia Emperor was seriously ill, these people rushed here in a hurry, hoping to take the opportunity to see the Xia Emperor and find out what the current Xia Emperor's condition was.
However, even though they had been waiting for several hours, none of the many princes, clan princes, civil and military ministers, and nobles gathered outside Danfeng Gate had been summoned by the palace.
At this time, especially the princes who aspired to the throne, were most impatient.
Even King Chu and King Jin, who are the oldest and usually the most prudent, clenched their hands nervously in their sleeves at this time.
And just when everyone was already impatient, the closed Danfeng Gate suddenly opened with a creaking sound.
Wearing eunuch attire and bowing humbly, Emperor Xia's personal eunuch, the old eunuch, was overjoyed and walked out slowly.
Facing the nervous and eager gazes of the princes, courtiers, and nobles of the clan, the old eunuch first bowed, then said with a sullen face:
"Your Majesty is feeling slightly unwell. After the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, it has been greatly relieved. Now he has rested. I can only ask your highnesses and adults to go back first. When your Majesty's health improves, I will naturally summon you!"
Although the old eunuch was Emperor Xia's personal eunuch, at this time, he could not send everyone away just by saying something like this.
Prince Qing, who was the youngest and most aggressive, immediately stood up and said rudely to the old eunuch:
"Since my father is seriously ill, I will enter the palace and personally serve my father on his bed to fulfill my filial piety! This is a matter of course, and my companion should not stop him!"
Having said this, King Qing immediately snorted coldly and rushed towards the palace.
When the princes saw this, their eyes immediately moved and they froze on the spot. No one stood up to stop him.
The old eunuch's brows moved, his eyes darkened, he picked up the whisk in his arms with his right hand and waved it casually.
In an instant, there was an invisible, soft force that spread out from the whisk, turning into thousands of subtle forces, forming an invisible barrier, directly blocking Qing's body.
In front of the king.
Prince Qing walked in quickly with his head downcast, just wanting to take advantage of this moment and rush into the palace in one breath.
But before he could pass by the old eunuch, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
At this time, he felt as if his body had suddenly fallen into mud, and his whole body was bound by invisible energy, and his movements were extremely stagnant. For a moment, he froze in place, unable to move at all.
When the princes led by King Chu and King Jin saw this, they were all shocked.
Like the Yun Kingdom, Emperor Taizu of the Xia Kingdom was also a peerless master. Naturally, the Xia Kingdom's royal family also had martial arts inheritance. After these princes became kings when they became adults, there were countless masters in the world who devoted themselves to serve under his command. Under the influence of what they heard and saw,
Even though the martial arts of these princes are not very high, their eyesight is not low.
At this time, all the princes' eyelids jumped when they saw the old eunuch Si Xi's effortless approach.
At the very least, he is also a ninth-level master...
Originally, they just wanted to take advantage of Prince Qing's reckless temperament to test it out.
Unexpectedly, this time, the secretive personal eunuch beside the old man was actually revealed.
With the presence of this at least ninth-level master standing in front of the palace gate, everyone had been secretly thinking that they wanted to take advantage of the chaos when King Qing broke into the palace gate, and entangled the courtiers and nobles to rush into the palace together.
It’s completely unworkable!
The old eunuch Sixi looked at Prince Qing on the side, raised his eyebrows, and bowed:
"His Royal Highness Prince Qing, it is better not to cause any more trouble to Zhao Zhaoyi in the palace. Go back!"
After that, he waved his hand casually, and the invisible energy that was intertwined with each other disappeared instantly.
Prince Qing stumbled and regained his balance in front of him.
He looked at the old eunuch with fear, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he snorted without saying anything.
Even the youngest and most energetic Prince Qing knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would be suspected of violating the palace ban. When someone took the opportunity to attack, it would be difficult to explain.
