All the beauties were brought to the huge square. This was the largest training ground in the entire palace, where Feng Chi usually practiced horseback riding and archery. It was huge enough to easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Bei Yutang noticed that besides the rest of them, there were also numerous palace maids in the square. Their group was incredibly large, all standing in rows.
The beauties in the harem were filled with surprise and even more nervous when they saw so many palace maids standing in the square.
Following the guards’ orders, they lined up in rows, just like the other palace maids.
Bei Yutang and Gesang stood at the back of the crowd, while the beauties from other palaces stood in front.
Groups of guards surrounded the beauties and palace maids standing in the center of the square, a move that not only frightened the beauties but also the palace maids.
No one knew what had happened, let alone what awaited them next.
The palace maids, who had lived in the palace for a year or so, were all pale, as if they had already anticipated that their lives were in danger today.
A quarter of an hour later, a large procession appeared. The man at the head wore a black robe with a dark golden auspicious cloud pattern embroidered beneath the hem. A silence fell upon the scene as he appeared.
Many, captivated by Feng Chi’s stunningly handsome face, stared at him intently.
The next moment, miserable cries of pain echoed from the crowd.
The sound startled many from their reverie of Feng Chi’s beauty. Looking in the direction of the screams, they saw that many of the palace maids and beauties standing in the front had had their eyes gouged out.
Guards quickly stepped forward and dragged the blinded maids and beauties away.
That scene awakened every maid and beauty present. They dared not look at Feng Chi again.
A single glance could kill them, so who would dare to look?
Gesang was frightened, her hand tightly grasping Bei Yutang’s sleeve.
Bei Yutang gently patted her hand, silently soothing her.
All the palace maids and beauties present lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
On the high platform, the guard commander, Long Er, knelt at Feng Chi’s feet and reported, “Your Majesty, all the young women in the palace are here.”
“All?” Feng Chi asked dimly.
“Yes.”
“If one is missing, you will fill in.” Feng Chi said coldly.
“Yes.” Long Er replied with his head lowered.
Feng Chi looked at the people standing below, his eyes sweeping over them. The woman was hiding among them. With so many people, he had no interest in searching for her one by one. He wanted her to come out on her own.
Feng Chi sat on the couch, leaning slightly. His gaze was coldly fixed on the people below.
He said, “You’ve eaten my food, and it’s time to come out.”
Feng Chi’s voice was soft, but everyone heard it clearly.
The maids and beauties present were all bewildered upon hearing this, completely clueless about what he was talking about.
Bei Yutang was the only exception.
This whole fuss was truly intended to find her.
Bei Yutang secretly observed Feng Chi, who sat at the top of the table. His expression alone revealed nothing, but her intuition told her that this was a dangerous situation.
Feng Chi, seeing no movement below, remained unperturbed. A bloodthirsty sneer curled the corners of his lips.
