The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 707 Impossible (4)_1

Chapter 707: Chapter 707 Impossible (4)_1

In a battle between those living in luxury and those who are not afraid to die, the outcome is crystal clear, especially when the opponent is two people against one.

Worried that Lin Ziyin would be caught up in the fight, Chu Suifeng guarded her behind him, while Hong Ying and the others encircled her, providing a protection that was airtight.

"Your Highness, please calm down." Lin Haisheng tried to mediate with great anxiety. He feared that the Emperor would blame him later, yet in the Northern Land, he also dared not to offend Chu Suifeng with harsh words. In this dilemma, Lin Haisheng was almost driven to tears. "It’s just a slave, Your Highness, not worthy of your anger. My Queen, could you please persuade His Highness?"

With no other choice, Lin Haisheng redirected his pleading gaze towards Lin Ziyin, as he had noticed even the smallest incident involving Ziyin would prompt Chu Suifeng to treat it as a major issue.

While they were conversing, the eunuch Congyi and Conger, who had been driven into the courtyard, were already covered in blood.

Congyi and Conger, cruel as they were, had shown no mercy to the eunuch and instead had inflicted numerous small wounds on him with the sharp swords they held, their punishing brutality amplifying a sense of desperation.

Regret had already consumed the eunuch as he now understood that the Prince was not playing with him but was truly aiming to take his life.

The higher the status, the more fearful of death. As the eunuch thought of the wealth and status he held in the Capital City, and the nieces and nephews waiting for him to bring honor to their family back home, he was filled with fear and regret.

"Your Highness, please forgive this humble servant who was blinded by greed and spoke out of turn before you," he knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing towards the room, "Your Highness, kindly regard me as less significant as a fart."

Chu Suifeng remained cozy inside the room, responding to the pleas for mercy with a cold laugh, showing no signs of mercy. For Chu Suifeng, if one made him uncomfortable, be it the eunuch or Lin Haisheng, he wouldn’t hesitate to cut them off. As for the two inside the inn, well, they at least knew to avoid crossing paths with him.

"Your Highness." Lin Ziyin whispered into Chu Suifeng’s ear, confiding her worries. "If we let this person go, could he cause us trouble in the future?"

"Would you like to spare him, my Queen?" Chu Suifeng retorted, "He’s a mere servant, not worthy of my attention."

"If releasing him would not cause any trouble, let it be." Lin Ziyin’s voice was barely audible as she leaned her head closer to him, "In considering who the master is before we strike a dog, we should remember our food reserves are low and we are not ready to face the consequences. Let’s not tackle with force for now."

"It’s just a mere servant." Chu Suifeng’s voice suddenly rose, "How dare he disrespect my queen. He should be sentenced to death. My queen, do not worry. As per the rules, the Emperor wouldn’t blame us for punishing a servant who has disrespected the royal offspring."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch regretted his actions even more.

He was so overconfident today. Indeed, according to the rules, even though the Prince wasn’t favored by the Emperor, the dignity of the royal family was beyond question. Even if he was a favored servant in front of the Emperor, Chu Suifeng could still execute him for disrespecting the royal family. If the Prince insisted on using this reason, the eunuch would in fact end up losing his life for nothing.

He clearly understood the character of the Emperor.

Now at his wit’s end, he finally understood why the King and Prince Rui had declined to come and assigned him to deliver the decree instead. It was obvious that he was used as a puppet.

Regret and fear overwhelmed him as a multitude of complex feelings surged up. The eunuch felt as if he were on the brink of collapse. "Your Highnesses, please spare me, I was blinded by ignorance. I will never dare to do this again, I deserve to be punished."
