Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 261 - 259: Not One Left Behind? (Extra 1)
Chapter 261: Chapter 259: Not One Left Behind? (Extra 1)
Just as Ying Yi made her move, she immediately drew the attention of the other black-clad assailants.
Seeing them about to ride away, one of the black-clad men quickly drew the bow from his back, preparing to string it and shoot them down.
However, before he could draw his bow, a flash of light whizzed by.
In the next moment, the man lay on the ground, silent and still.
Beside him, the form of a Shadow Guard flashed past.
Apart from those readied to shoot their bows, some of the black-clad men charged directly towards the horses, only to be met with the merciless blade of Ying Yi.
Just like that, Ying Yi and Lin Yi sped away, quickly arriving at the gate of the Capital City.
When they reached the gates, the Garrison had already noticed the commotion and prepared to intercept them.
But before they could act, Ying Yi had already pulled out a Token from her waist and held it high.
"Quick, quick, quick, they are from the Shadow Guard, let them through!"
Upon seeing the Token, the guards dared not obstruct further, hurriedly opening the city gate and clearing a dedicated passage.
The same happened upon entering the Imperial City; the way opened smoothly with the display of Ying Yi’s Token, and they quickly arrived within the Imperial Palace.
The rough ride had left Lin Yi in a sorry state.
In short, by the time he arrived at the Imperial Palace, his disheveled appearance was quite a sight.
"How is he, is the person alright?"
Before Ying Yi’s horse could even come to a halt, the young Emperor had already rushed out from the Imperial Study Room.
Indeed, the young Emperor had already received a report from the Shadow Guard about the attack on Lin Yi and knew the entire process of the incident.
And this had her heart racing, so much so that if anything had indeed happened to Lin Yi, she would never forgive those behind the attack.
Naturally, even if Lin Yi was unscathed, she would not let the perpetrators off the hook.
However, when she truly saw Lin Yi’s wretched state and the Feathered Arrow sticking out from his back, the young Emperor’s eyes instantly turned a deep red.
The Emperor looked at the wretched Lin Yi, her heart wrenching, her complexion ice-cold.
This fury was something even Ying Yi, who had always been by her side, had never seen before; Ying Yi knew Her Majesty was truly enraged, truly angry.
"Where is the Imperial Physician? Why has the Imperial Physician not rolled up yet?"
At that moment, the young Emperor’s voice, grinding her teeth, also rang out.
This voice frightened the Palace Maids and eunuchs trembling nearby.
As she spoke, the young Emperor also rushed to Lin Yi’s side, carefully helping Ying Yi to lift him off the horse.
"Your Majesty mustn’t worry too much; this arrow shot is quite severe, but he is wearing my Soft armor.
Therefore, it cannot endanger his life." novelbuddy.cσ๓
Hearing this, the young Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nevertheless, she still carefully carried Lin Yi into the Imperial Study Room and laid him directly on the Dragon Couch.
And this scene rendered the arriving Imperial Physicians utterly astonished.
What were they seeing? They were actually seeing a eunuch lying on top of the Dragon Couch?
Was it personally allowed by the Emperor?
Such an event is simply unheard of, unprecedented.
And this further confirms one thing: the weight of this Eunuch Lin in His Majesty’s heart is definitely not light!
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry and check if Little Lin has been seriously injured! If anything happens to Little Lin, all of you will go down to accompany him!"
The Imperial Physicians, who were still standing there dumbfounded, shuddered upon hearing this and rushed towards Lin Yi. When they got close and saw the feathered arrow stuck in Lin Yi’s back, they couldn’t help but gasp. The arrow was lodged right over the heart. If it had gone through, even an Immortal would be hard-pressed to save him. Soon, they noticed a clue: although the arrow was stuck in the back, why was there not a trace of blood seeping through the clothing?
Regardless, they first needed to examine the injury and see how deep the arrow had penetrated.
As the Imperial Physician carefully cut open the clothing on Lin Yi’s back, they were instantly shocked and stood frozen on the spot.
At the same time, they also let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
Although the feathered arrow was still nailed to his back, it was clear that he was wearing a layer of soft armor.
This specially made layer of soft armor had blocked the arrow from directly harming his body.
Thus, they could at least be certain of one thing: that Eunuch Lin was not in mortal danger, and at least their own heads were saved.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin is not in mortal danger. The bruising on his back can be cured with just a few topical plasters.
The internal injury just needs time and peaceful recuperation for healing."
After a thorough examination and application of medicine, the Imperial Physician wrote a few prescriptions, instructing a small eunuch to fetch and boil the medicine, then went to report Lin Yi’s condition respectfully to the Emperor.
Having received accurate news, the young Emperor finally took a deep breath of relief.
No matter what, Lin Yi’s safety was of utmost importance. Knowing that he was fine, the young Emperor finally set his mind at ease.
Of course, now that Lin Yi was safe, it was time to settle the score.
Daring to harm his people, no matter who you are, you will not get away with it!
The young Emperor immediately turned his gaze to the nearby Ying Yi:
"Have the culprits been caught?"
Ying Yi nodded in response and quickly left.
In just a short while, he returned and whispered to the young Emperor:
"Your Majesty, we’ve captured two tongues, but not a single survivor."
These words made the young Emperor frown.
What does that mean? Captured two tongues but left no survivors?
Without waiting for the young Emperor to ask, Ying Yi provided an answer:
"Seeing Lin Yi so gravely injured before, I couldn’t bear it and ordered an immediate kill, only saving their tongues.
It turns out we did capture the two tongues, but to my surprise, they took poison themselves after being caught."
Hearing this, the young Emperor sighed helplessly.
He could naturally understand Ying Yi’s mood, after all, it was just yesterday that he had a landlord match with that scoundrel.
In that situation, it’s not just Ying Yi who left behind two tongues; if it were up to him, he probably wouldn’t leave a single survivor either.
