Chapter 1104: 532 Slap in the Face (Chapter Update)_2

He was a eunuch, his body also incomplete; by this age, he ought naturally to have come to terms with everything he should have accepted, yet in his earlier years, when he saw normal men, he felt jealousy, hatred, discontent, and inferiority.

Huangfu Xian must have felt the same.

Whether Qin Chuyu lied or not, both knew in their hearts.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, "I am tired, remember to send Jingkong back later."

"Yes," Eunuch Qin answered.

Bixia Hall.

The Emperor had returned to the Huaqing Palace first. Princess Ning An and Huangfu Xian were seated in the spacious and bright bedroom of the Sleeping Palace. All the palace maids had been sent away by Princess Ning An, leaving only Lianlian to serve at the side.

Huangfu Xian, seated in his wheelchair, casually played with the fresh flowers in a vase.

Princess Ning An sat opposite him, staring at him intently, "Xian’er, why did you do it?"

"I like it," Huangfu Xian said, looking at the flower in his hand.

Lianlian looked at her own princess with fear.

Princess Ning An took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said gravely, "Huangfu Xian, this is not the frontier, this is the Imperial Palace. A small matter here could cost you your head."

Huangfu Xian pinched a petal, "Oh? Is that so? Who dares to go over the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to chop off my head?"

Princess Ning An stared at him for a long time, "Huangfu Xian, nobody owes you anything. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager will not always indulge you. You had better rein in your bad temper and not be ungrateful for the blessings you have!"

With a mocking look, Huangfu Xian retorted, "What if I don’t? Will you send me back to the frontier? Or simply deal with me as a remnant of the previous dynasty? Ah, I almost forgot, you are a princess of Zhan Country, you can righteously sacrifice your own husband, so what is a disabled son to you? Better to get rid of the burden that is me early and choose another husband to remarry!"

Slap!

Princess Ning An slapped his face!

Huangfu Xian’s head turned from the blow.

Lianlian, frightened and her face paled, rushed over to embrace Huangfu Xian and said to Princess Ning An, "Princess! Please don’t do this!"

"Get away!" Huangfu Xian, ungrateful, pushed Lianlian rudely away.

Lianlian staggered a few steps, crashing into a table behind her, her back bruising up.

Huangfu Xian’s slender fingertips wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking at the droplet of blood, a hint of a sneer graced his lips, and a flicker of mocking pleasure passed through his eyes, "Well struck, mother."
