Chapter 2233: The Angry King of Laiyang

“Father, you must avenge me! You must flatten the Gu Yi Men Clinic and dismember that Ye!”

Upon seeing Dugu Zhan, Dugu Hong once again wailed like a slaughtered pig.

As a Princess, the grievances she had suffered over so many years did not add up to what she had endured in the past two days; it was truly unbearable for her.

“No matter who it is, if they dare to touch my daughter, Dugu Zhan, today, I will exterminate their entire clan!”

Dugu Zhan roared in fury. With his power, someone actually dared to disrespect him.

However, anger was one thing, but he still retained his basic rationality. He needed to clarify the situation first.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in his heart, and asked, “Don’t cry yet. Tell me, what exactly happened?”

“Ah… Father, you must kill him! You must avenge me!”

Dugu Hong’s emotions were out of control; she only knew how to wail and couldn’t explain what had happened at all.

Helpless, Dugu Zhan could only turn to Lu Bingkun beside him: “Tell me, what exactly happened? What happened, and who beat the Princess like this?”

“Reporting to Your Highness, we went to the Gu Yi Men Clinic, but we didn’t expect them to have an Old Eunuch who was incredibly powerful.

He beat us into this state and even crippled the Princess’s limbs…”

“What? An Old Eunuch? Since when did the Imperial Palace have such a powerful eunuch?”

Dugu Zhan immediately calmed down considerably, frowning slightly. He was extremely familiar with the Great Shun Empire’s Imperial Family and didn’t recall any Old Eunuch with such exceptional skill.

Realizing that the problem was not as simple as he had imagined, he said again, “Tell me everything from beginning to end, don’t miss a single word.”

“Yes!”

Lu Bingkun recounted everything that happened after they arrived at the Gu Yi Men Clinic, from beginning to end, without missing a single detail.

This even included how Dugu Hong cursed the other party for being incomplete, an eunuch, and even lacking testicles, and so on.

“You mean that Old Eunuch not only reached the Void Tempering Middle Stage but also showed no regard for this King at all?”

At this moment, the anger in Dugu Zhan’s heart had completely vanished, replaced by a sense of fear.

Lu Bingkun nodded: “That’s right. In the end, I asked him to show mercy to the Princess for Your Face, but he said that if he gave you Face, you wouldn’t even dare to accept it.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Zhan became even more nervous. At this moment, a figure had already appeared in his mind.

“Did he say who he was? What did he look like?”

Lu Bingkun recalled: “The Old Eunuch was plump, and his age was indiscernible. He wore a long robe with no rank insignia.

Oh, that Ye called him Mei Gonggong…”

As he said this, Dugu Zhan’s Face turned pale. He plopped down onto the chair behind him, muttering, “It’s over, it’s really over this time!”

Dugu Hong didn’t notice her father’s change and continued to wail like a slaughtered pig beside him.

“Father, you must avenge me! You must dismember Ye and hack that Old Eunuch into a thousand pieces!

I want to kill them, I want to kill them…”

“Kill, kill, kill! I’ll kill you first, you troublemaker! The Laiyang Royal Mansion will be ruined by you…”

A surge of towering rage instantly rose in Dugu Zhan’s heart again, but this time it was directed at his daughter.

He leaped up from the chair and slapped Dugu Hong hard across the Face.

The Laiyang Princess was instantly stunned. For so many years, the Laiyang King had doted on her immensely; this was the first time he had ever struck her.

Then she shrieked again, “Father, why are you hitting me?”

“Hit you? I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial creature, daring to provoke just anyone!”

The Laiyang King was indeed enraged to the extreme. After speaking, a rain of slaps descended, and Dugu Hong’s head instantly swelled up a size.

Everyone around them was already terrified. They had never seen Dugu Zhan lose his temper like this.

Lu Bingkun quickly stepped forward to mediate: “Your Highness, calm down! Your Highness, calm down!”

After much effort, he managed to calm Dugu Zhan down. He then asked in confusion, “Your Highness, who exactly is that Old Eunuch?”

At this moment, his heart was filled with curiosity. What was the identity of the other party that even the Laiyang King feared him so much?

Dugu Hong, having been beaten, finally came to her senses and also shouted, “Exactly! Isn’t he just an Old Eunuch?

We are members of the Imperial Family. What is there to be afraid of? At most, we’ll go find His Majesty, the Emperor, and have his head chopped off directly.”

“You shut your damn mouth! Even His Majesty, the Emperor, would be respectful when he sees him.”

Dugu Zhan wished he could just strangle this foolish daughter.

But this only made the few people around them even more curious: what was the identity of that Old Eunuch after all?

Lu Bingkun asked in confusion, “Your Highness, who exactly is he?”

“Mei Gonggong’s name is Mei Yongcheng, and he is a person by the Old Ancestor’s side.”

When Dugu Zhan finished speaking, everyone around them gasped.

To say who held the highest status in the Great Shun Empire, it was absolutely not the person sitting in the Imperial Court, but the legendary Royal Old Ancestor.

No matter who it was, as long as they could be connected to this Old Ancestor, their status was absolutely extraordinary, and they would be regarded with new respect wherever they went.

Dugu Zhan continued, “Mei Yongcheng was the Grand Eunuch during the Old Ancestor’s reign, and he has been by the Old Ancestor’s side for at least a hundred years. He is absolutely his confidant.

To say who the Great Shun Empire’s Old Ancestor trusts the most, it is none other than him.

Moreover, Mei Gonggong’s cultivation was unfathomable even before, and he was absolutely second only to the Old Ancestor.

It’s just that for so many years, he and the Old Ancestor have lived in seclusion and rarely appeared before the world. I didn’t expect him to come out today.”

Speaking of this, a surge of hatred rose in his heart again.

He had originally been unable to curry favor with someone like Mei Yongcheng, but he didn’t expect his own daughter to offend him so thoroughly.

For an eunuch, was there anything more vicious than directly calling him an eunuch or incomplete to his Face?

Although Dugu Hong had been completely beaten into a pig’s head, she still said somewhat unconvinced, “No matter what, he’s just an eunuch. We are of Royal Bloodline. Will the Old Ancestor really stand on his side?”

“Can you please shut your mouth, you fool!”

Dugu Zhan was practically driven mad by this daughter. If Dugu Xiu had to choose between himself and Mei Yongcheng, the Old Ancestor would undoubtedly choose the latter.

Although the other person was an eunuch, he was absolutely the Old Ancestor’s most trusted person.

And over so many years, there had been at least dozens, if not a hundred, Royal Bloodlines like himself. To put it bluntly, Dugu Xiu, who had been in seclusion for many years, didn’t even recognize a descendant like him.

To say who could compare in status and position with Mei Yongcheng in the Great Shun Empire, there were only two people: the current Emperor and the Prince Kaoshan, and no third.

In this situation, his daughter provoking Mei Yongcheng was tantamount to indirectly slapping the Old Ancestor’s Face.

Although he was the Laiyang King of the Great Shun Empire and the Grand Marshal of the Army, this identity was supreme in the hearts of ordinary people, but in the Old Ancestor’s eyes, it was nothing.

As long as Dugu Xiu was angered, he could make him lose everything with a flick of his finger, and he might not even be able to save his own life.

Dugu Hong realized that she had caused a great disaster this time and kept her mouth shut, no longer speaking.

Lu Bingkun said, “Your Highness, what should we do now? Why don’t we go to the palace to apologize?

If we explain it in person, I presume the Old Ancestor will not blame us!”
