C402 Blood and Flesh

Yan Er saw Feng at the door and frowned, "Is Imperial Consort back?"

Feng was delighted in her heart. Since Yan Er asked this, of course it was the Royal Highness who brought Mu Haiyang out of the Palace. After stabilizing his expression, he said, "Didn't Imperial Consort die half a year ago?"

Naturally, she was also reminding Yan Er not to speak so carelessly. If he called Imperial Consort again, it would be very easy for people to hear him. Furthermore, the son of the current emperor was still in Empress's womb. Where did Imperial Consort come from?

"Is Mu Haiyang back?" When Yan Er heard this, his brows knitted even more tightly.

"No!" Feng shook her head.

But if she said no, she could not get rid of Yan Er. She directly ordered, "Go in and find him!"

She did not pay attention to Feng, who was stunned at the side. This was also the first time Feng saw Yan Er's angry face. More importantly, it could make people like him have emotional changes on their faces.

The people behind him all rushed in. They looked at everyone in a threatening manner and searched every corner of the room. There were no traces of strangers at all, only some servants. Only a few of them were from the previous residence, the rest were all changed. Even Yan Er didn't recognize them.

While they were looking for someone, Yan Er regained his calm and asked, "It seems like all the people in the prefecture have been replaced."

"The people from before have entered the Palace with the Emperor, so these were all chosen by the Royal Highness at the slave market." Feng explained.

Of course, one could not tell the truth.

This was also the reason why Lyi Xuanzhi had always trusted Feng. He knew that she was meticulous and smart, and was even more loyal. And her loyalty was for Mu Haiyang. This was enough.

People came one after another to report, "General, no!"

"General, we didn't find it here."

"General, we didn't see anything there either."

...

After everyone had arrived, Yan Er's face turned ashen again. This time, Mu Haiyang had escaped from under his eyes. The Emperor would definitely be angry. Most importantly, he had not found her yet. Furthermore, it was very difficult to find someone like her.

"Go! Return to the Palace!" He gave the order.

No one dared to delay, and they hurriedly left the wooden residence to return to the palace.

When they passed by the entrance of the Palace, they went to ask: "How did those two go out just now?"

The one called Brother Nan replied, "General, King Lyi took the token and brought his guards out."

The meaning was very clear. Without the token, the brothers would not dare to let anyone out.

Even if it was to brush their faces, they would not let them out. They only recognized tokens.

Everyone was satisfied with Brother Nan's answer, but Yan Er said sternly, "Have you seen the tokens of the guards beside him?"

"This..." This sentence rendered Brother Nan speechless.

Yan Er ordered again, "Anyone who enters and exit the palace freely will be removed from their official positions and will never enter the capital."

The two of them stepped forward, took off Brother Nan's armor, and escorted him out of the palace gates. He was still in a state of confusion from the beginning to the end. He thought that his answer was very good, or perhaps it was a good opportunity to be promoted.

No one would have thought that when he pushed the responsibility out, he also pushed himself out.

After hearing Yan Er's order, the other seven did not dare to make a sound, afraid that they would be sent off one by one. Their entire family, young and old, all pointed at their meager salary to maintain their livelihood.

After that, Yan Er reprimanded them a few times. In the future, no matter who went in or out, they had to be strictly investigated, and no mistakes could be made.

Of course, there were times when one did not need to go head to head with them, but one had to have a bit of intelligence. One could not be like Brother Nan, who flattered the horse and almost got kicked to death by the horse's hoof.

...

By the time Yan Er returned to Jiaofang Hall, it had already been six hours.

Currently, Yue Niansheng was sitting in Jiaofang Hall. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. He was playing with the teacup on the table with an expressionless face. All the doors of Jiaofang Hall were open.

He passed through the red wooden door and saw ___ sitting in front of the red palace embroidery table. He was playing with the tea cup with one hand and supporting his chin with the other. In front of him were two eunuch.

Eunuch's back was covered in blood.

Yan Er saw him sitting there calmly without saying a word, and then he saw eunuch covered in blood on the ground. He understood that he already knew that Mu Haiyang had disappeared.

He quickly stepped forward and knelt beside eunuch and said, "May the Emperor punish me."

Hearing this, Yue Niansheng looked up from the cup. Seeing that it was Yan Er, he was still expressionless and said, "Where is he?"

"I did not find him." He did not back down at all.

"Yes, go and receive your punishment yourself!" He spoke calmly, as if he was saying, 'Have you eaten yet?' This tone.

"Thank the Emperor for his grace!"

Yan Er got up from the ground and waved his hand, gesturing to the people behind him. Get rid of the two people on the ground and don't appear here again. Otherwise, he would lose his life. After leaving the Jiaofang Hall, Yan Er took off his armor and laid on the ground. He said, "A hundred heavy battles!"

The two men holding sticks looked at each other. No one dared to attack. Yan Er urged them once before they started to attack. They only patted him lightly.

"Use force!" Yan Er said.

The two of them naturally did not dare to offend him. He was the Emperor's favorite person. Although he had to suffer a few hits, these few hits were for him to suffer. They did not dare to make a heavy move. No one knew if Yan Er was a person who held a grudge or not. He only hit him so lightly.

However, after Yan Er scolded them, they dared to increase the strength in their hands.

A staff and a staff landed on his body.

Yan Er had just used fifty staff strikes, and he was still able to eat them. However, when the fifty staff strikes started, he started to feel a little strained. Blood started to flow out from his buttocks. It could be seen that their strength was not small.

When he was about to be hit by eighty staff strikes, Yue Niansheng stood up and slowly walked out. He went to Yan Er's side and said, "All of you can go down!"

When the two people with the staffs heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. They might as well just beat up the two eunuch and use a lot of effort. Now, they still had to offend Yan Er. Without any hesitation, they left Jiaofang Hall.

Yue Niansheng still couldn't see any emotion in his voice. He said, "Get up. She will come back sooner or later."

After his voice faded, Yue Niansheng walked out of the Jiaofang Hall. Yan Er was in pain. He picked up the clothes he had taken off on the ground with a frown. Two people came up and supported him as he walked. The blood on his buttocks flowed down along his body. He looked around. There were two bloody wounds on his pants.

He would need to rest for at least ten days or half a month before he could move freely. It was also because Yue Niansheng did not want to punish him severely that he asked him to go and receive the punishment himself. Otherwise, he would be dragged out like the two eunuch had been dragged out. He wouldn't have been dragged out by someone.

On Ho Yun'er's side, after eunuch informed her, he did not see Yue Niansheng come over and sent the palace maids beside him to inquire.

In his own palace, there was a female red embroidered...

He saw his own maidservant rushing back. He did not see anyone but heard a voice, "Empress, Empress..."
