Chapter 2 How dare the wicked servant deceive his master?
"Lu Xuan, Third Prince Lu, you really have some nerve!"
"I initially thought you were just a womanizer and a heavy drinker, but I never imagined you would be so audacious as to commit such a heinous act!"
"This is Consort Ling, whom Prime Minister Lin presented to His Majesty. You have committed insubordination... you have touched His Majesty's woman, so you can expect to lose your head."
The old eunuch, with his delicate fingers, spoke in a high-pitched, shrill voice that sent chills down Lu Xuan's spine.
Upon hearing this, the woman at the corner of the bed trembled, her eyes filled with despair.
She wanted to say something, but then, as if she had thought of something terrifying, she swallowed it back, her lips trembling slightly, her face ashen.
Lu Xuan dressed himself and looked at the old eunuch with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.
"The Consort Ling presented by Prime Minister Lin? My father's concubine?"
"Wang Cong, your acting is rather clumsy."
The old eunuch Wang Cong felt a little uneasy under Lu Xuan's gaze.
He was the head eunuch in the Empress's palace. Relying on the Empress's power, even some unfavored concubines had to treat him with utmost respect.
That worthless Third Prince, every time he sees me, he's always so subservient, not daring to even breathe loudly.
What's wrong with me today?
Forcibly suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Wang Cong looked at Lu Xuan with a sinister gaze.
"Your Highness, the facts are undeniable. What's the point of further sophistry?"
"Consort Ling is a naturally born spirit. Prime Minister Lin went to great lengths to find her for His Majesty. We are just waiting for tomorrow, an auspicious day, to send her into the harem."
"Now you have been caught red-handed raping a concubine, a heinous crime of incest and treason..."
"Guards, seize this beast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards behind him drew their swords and approached Lu Xuan with murderous intent.
They were all the Empress's people, so naturally they wouldn't care about Lu Xuan's status as the Third Prince.
Lu Xuan simply stood with his hands behind his back.
He gave a cold laugh, and an invisible pressure instantly erupted from him.
This is a trace of divine soul pressure belonging to the Holy Lord Haotian.
"Let's see who dares to make a move!"
The approaching guards felt an extremely terrifying chill rise from the bottom of their hearts.
The knife he was holding trembled involuntarily and came to an abrupt stop in his tracks.
Although Lu Xuan's physical body was extremely weak, the pressure emanating from the depths of his soul, even if only a trace of it was leaked out, was enough to intimidate everyone present.
He ignored the guards and walked step by step toward the king.
With each step, the intense sense of oppression grew stronger.
As Lu Xuan approached Wang Cong, he suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the woman on the bed, and shouted.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
"What qualifications does Prime Minister Lin have to select concubines for my father, and since they are to be concubines, how come they don't even have a personal maid?"
"Also, you said she was born with a spiritual body, so why is there no spiritual energy fluctuation around her?"
"Wang Cong, by claiming that such an ordinary woman is my father's concubine, are you insulting me, or insulting my father?"
His words came out like a machine gun, each one piercing to the heart.
Wang Cong had never seen Lu Xuan like this before, and under the oppressive aura, he was unable to react for a long time, his face turning deathly pale.
Cold sweat streamed down my forehead.
The third prince was weak and out of favor; logically, he should have been begging me to let him go by now…
But to his utter surprise, this usually useless prince was unusually calm and possessed such terrifying power and insight in such a desperate situation.
Wang Cong was furious.
"What we say goes! This is the Prime Minister's decision! You, a good-for-nothing, dare to question the Empress and the Prime Minister's judgment? Take action! If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility!"
He panicked.
We must cripple Lu Xuan immediately and shut him up!
Seeing that the guards he brought did not dare to make a move, Wang Cong, relying on his own cultivation, flicked his whisk and was about to personally step forward to capture Lu Xuan.
"You damned bastard!"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.
In his previous life, he could have wiped out billions of such ants with a single breath.
Although the tiger has fallen into the plains and been reincarnated into a useless prince, how can the might of the Holy Lord be violated by a eunuch?
"roll!"
Lu Xuan slightly mobilized his spiritual power, and two golden beams seemed to shoot out from his eyes, piercing straight for Wang Cong's brow.
boom!
Wang Cong felt a sharp pain in his brain, and Lu Xuan's figure in front of him instantly became incredibly tall, like a god or demon descending to earth!
That was a crushing defeat on a soul level!
Just as Wang Cong was lost in thought, Lu Xuan made his move.
Suddenly, he raised his leg and kicked Wang hard in the lower abdomen.
"Bang!"
Even though his body was weak and lacked strength, his fighting spirit as a Holy Lord remained. This kick was placed in a tricky spot, hitting his dantian (energy center) precisely.
"ah!!!"
With a bloodcurdling scream, Wang Cong slammed hard against the door frame behind him.
The entire room fell silent.
The guards were terrified, holding their knives and not knowing what to do.
Is this still the same timid and submissive Third Prince from before?
They even dared to hit the Empress's chief eunuch?
Lu Xuan didn't even glance at Wang Cong, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, before turning around and striding to the bedside.
"If you don't want to die, put on your clothes and come with me!"
Lu Xuan gave a low shout.
The woman's mind went blank at that moment, and she could only mechanically listen to Lu Xuan's instructions.
"Stop...stop!"
Wang Cong clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, yet he still struggled to get up and try to stop them.
"You're taking Consort Ling...where are you taking her? This is tantamount to fleeing from justice!"
Lu Xuan paused, a strange smile playing on his lips as he turned back.
"Fleeing to escape punishment?"
"I took her to see the emperor."
"Since you say she's a new concubine, then let's go before the Emperor and let my father take a good look at her and see what kind of concubine she really is!"
"And you, Wang Cong."
"You're nothing but the Empress's dog, while I... am the Third Prince of the Great Yan!"
"You think you're qualified to block my way?"
"Get out of here!"
With a final roar, a trace of the Holy Lord's aura swept out once more.
Under the terrifying pressure, Wang Cong's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as Lu Xuan led the fake spirit concubine out of the room.
The surrounding guards looked at each other, none of them daring to step forward to stop them.
