?
The Empress was momentarily stunned.
Chen Mo’s straightforwardness left her momentarily taken aback.
"Do you have a grudge against Chu Heng?"
"That’s right."
Chen Mo nodded frankly.
The Empress furrowed her brows. Chen Mo and Chu Heng had no apparent interactions; why was their relationship so hostile?
She did not delve into details, instead looking up at Eunuch Jin and asking, "Eunuch Jin, what exactly happened tonight?"
With lowered head, Eunuch Jin said, "In response to Your Highness, this old servant also sensed the presence of a Grandmaster, so I rushed over. By the time I reached the Imperial Music Bureau, the fight was already over..."
"The butler of Prince Yu Mansion called the Military Prison, intending to take Mr. Chen away. I took the initiative and brought him back first."
At this point, Eunuch Jin knelt and kowtowed, saying, "The situation was urgent at that time, and I did not have time to report to Your Highness, thus breaking protocol. I ask for Your Highness’s punishment."
Seeing this, Chen Mo also knelt with a "thud" beside him, clasping his hands as he said, "This matter arose entirely because of me, it has nothing to do with Eunuch, Your Highness should punish me instead."
"Wrong is wrong, this servant should be punished."
"One should bear the consequences for one’s own actions, still, please punish me."
"..."
The Empress rubbed her temples, helplessly saying, "Alright, get up quickly, stop this show, when did I say I would punish you?"
"Understood."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two stood up swiftly without another word.
"Eunuch Jin did the right thing, no matter what, we should first bring the person back; otherwise, it will only become more troublesome later." The Empress tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the bed and asked aloud, "I heard that Chu Heng was severely injured?"
Eunuch Jin nodded and said, "The physical injuries are not too serious; a third-rank doctor should be able to heal them. It’s just that Mr. Chen dealt another blow in the end, causing severe damage to Heir Chu’s Divine Soul..."
Chen Mo’s Soul Power was too strong, far exceeding that of cultivators at the same level.
Moreover, this time, he intended to kill, fully unleashing Soul Slash without holding back. A regular Martial Artist would have either died or become a vegetable.
Chu Heng’s foundation and methods were naturally far beyond those of ordinary Martial Artists, but it was still enough to trouble him greatly.
The Empress pondered for a while and asked, "How many witnesses were there to the entire fight?"
"Many, the commotion was too great at the time, and since it was also night, there were probably over a hundred guests who witnessed the scene." Eunuch Jin replied.
Upon hearing this, the Empress’s brows furrowed even more.
Eunuch Jin stepped forward two steps and whispered, "Your Highness, Prince Yu Mansion will definitely not let this go, and the Six Ministries will certainly seize the opportunity to cause trouble... Mr. Chen is best to stay in the palace for now, if he shows up recklessly, it’s feared there will be big trouble..."
The Empress pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I understand, you may go now, keep an eye on Prince Yu Mansion, and report immediately if anything happens."
"Yes."
