The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 556

Chapter 556: Feng Tianlan Rages

When she reached the outside of the main hall, she saw a huge crowd standing there. She frowned slightly but still came all the way out. She scanned her surroundings with cold eyes. Her gaze fell upon the eunuch who was holding the imperial edict. She started to become suspicious. He was the eunuch who followed the Beiqi Emperor closely.

When he saw Feng Tianlan, the imperial eunuch bowed and called out to her with respect, “Miss Feng.”

“Did Gu Nansheng send you?” Feng Tianlan’s eyes turned cold as she put her guard up. The dense crowd was blocking her view, so she couldn’t really see what was going on outside.

It was probably not Gu Nansheng who came looking for her, since the commotion was so chaotic.

Azurite was becoming defensive as well. She stood at the northwest of Feng Tianlan, prepared to block anyone from reaching Feng Tianlan at any moment.

“During these few days since Miss Feng’s departure from the palace, the emperor has been thinking about you. Hence, he has ordered me to read out this imperial edict and invite Miss Feng back to the palace.” The imperial eunuch did not seem to realize that Feng Tianlan’s expression had suddenly become cold and her face froze. He unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it out loud.

“Feng’er has left the palace for many days already. I miss our intimate nights very much. I can’t wait until Sheng’er’s wedding to invite you back into the palace. Therefore, I acted on my own and sent a phoenix sedan to invite you back to the palace. I will make you my imperial noble consort. Please accept this honor I wish to bestow on you. I hope Feng’er will return to the palace as soon as possible and accompany me day and night.”

As soon as the imperial edict was read, the crowd outside the inn became boisterous in an instant.

“What kind of imperial edict is this? These are just frivolous and obscene words.”

“Was Feng Tianlan’s fame during these six months built on the seduction of men?”

“Look at her attractive and seductive appearance! She was once the demon lady of South Winds Nation who ruined a country. In the end, she was taken down by the South Winds Nation’s Emperor. She must be here to bring disaster upon our Beiqi Nation.”

“We must definitely not let her enter the palace! We will not let her ruin the Beiqi Nation!”

“…”

In an instant, voices of resentment erupted from many people in the crowd.

The imperial eunuch rolled up the imperial edict with satisfaction at the commotion. He handed it over to Feng Tianlan. “Miss Feng, please accept the imperial edict. The emperor cannot wait any longer. He looks at your naked portrait every day without any appetite for food and drinks. He has slimmed down quite a lot.”

“You said this was the Beiqi Emperor’s will?” Feng Tianlan’s phoenix eyes were as cold as ice. The words that she said were sharp as icicles. Every word was piercing.

The eunuch shivered at Feng Tianlan’s domineering and imposing manner. However, he remembered Gu Yun’s order and said, “This was your agreement with the emperor. You are to return to the palace when he makes you his concubine—”

Before he could finish his sentence, the imperial eunuch was sent flying through the air. He landed among the court ladies and the other eunuchs. The palanquin was crushed by his landing.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this sudden turn of events. What was going on? Why did she start beating him up at her own conferment ceremony?”

Feng Tianlan leaped into the air and flew out of the inn. She landed on the imperial eunuch’s chest as she spoke with a voice that struck as cold as an ice blade, “I will ask one more time. Is this the Beiqi Emperor’s doing or Gu Yun’s doing? Or did they plan this together?”

“This is your doing, Miss Feng.” The imperial eunuch felt intense pain all over his body. He never thought that Feng Tianlan would attack him, the leader of the eunuchs, in public like this.

Feng Tianlan’s phoenix eyes turned cold. She raised her leg and stepped on the imperial eunuch’s face with force. Crack! His lower jaw broke. Puff! Blood gushed out, washing a few of his yellow teeth from his mouth.

“For the last time, who’s idea is it?”

“The emp—”

Before he could finish speaking, a crack resounded. The imperial eunuch’s head tilted to one side and he died under the foot of Feng Tianlan. Until his final breath, he still couldn’t understand how Feng Tianlan dared to kill him in public.

“Beiqi Emperor!” Feng Tianlan’s cold phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent. She looked at the sedan and the paraphernalia for the procession nearby. With a flick of her fingertip, Fire Element burst out and set everything ablaze in an instant.
