General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

Chapter 574 If you keep hitting him, you'll kill him!
"Did that poisonous woman leave with Steward Zhao?"

As they walked along the long corridor leading out of the inner palace, Lord Xie raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Reporting to the Marquis, Steward Zhao has already picked up the person, and they should be leaving the palace gates by now."

Lord Xie's lips curled into a cruel smile: "This poisonous woman has escaped again. I can't do anything to her in the palace, but once she's at the Regent's Palace, let's see how I deal with her!"

"Uncle! I want you to kill her, kill her!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from behind. Lord Xie frowned and turned around. When he saw Consort Xie, he immediately frowned and said, "Why did you run out? Didn't the Emperor punish you by confining you to your quarters?"

"Confined to your home..."

Xie Jieyu's expression was gloomy. "Among the new concubines in the harem, I am the only one with the highest rank. What is she? The Emperor would actually punish me for a lowly wretch like her!"

As she spoke, her teeth almost biting her lip raw, her eyes filled with resentment: "Uncle, is she really Li Rong's wife? By what right? You all said back then that Li Rong was dead, and that I had no hope of marrying him in this life, which is why I entered the palace for your sake! Why!? Why is he back now, perfectly fine! And with a wife?"
"How dare that bitch marry him?! Kill her, Uncle! Kill her!"

Consort Xie's eyes were almost bloodshot, and her lips were trembling. She gripped Lord Xie's sleeve tightly.

"Enough!" Lord Xie said irritably. "Look at yourself now! You've lost all the grace of a Consort. What's so great about that Li Rong? Is he worth going to such lengths for? It's utterly absurd!"

Lord Xie unleashed a torrent of abuse, and seeing the venomous look on Consort Xie's face, he knew she hadn't listened to a word he said: "Now that you're married into the palace, stop talking about Li Rong all the time. Be careful, walls have ears. Even with the Xie family involved, you should still be cautious in your words and actions. The Prince hasn't spoken yet, so you'd better behave yourself in the harem!"

Xie Jieyu gritted her teeth: "Uncle doesn't want to help me anymore!"

Lord Xie glanced at her and said irritably, "Even if you don't say anything, I will deal with her today! Alright, stop making a fuss here. You are still under house arrest. Hurry up and go back to your palace to avoid displeasing the Emperor and causing trouble."

"I can go back, but Uncle, remember, kill her for me."

Xie Jieyu's face was gloomy, and she was about to speak when, in the next second, a blurry figure suddenly rushed to her side in the corridor.

A chilling voice slowly rang out: "Whom do you intend to kill?"

"How dare you! Who has the audacity to bring weapons into the imperial city? Why do you not bow to our Marquis?"

Before the servant beside Lord Xie could utter his stern rebuke, a loud thud was heard, and the man before him was sent flying more than ten meters away by a single punch, like a rag doll. He crashed to the ground with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lord Xie's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist, only to realize in a moment that he had already sheathed his weapons when he entered the palace.

However, having experienced countless battles, he was naturally not afraid of being suddenly attacked by others. He immediately straightened up and threw a punch to meet the attack.

With a loud bang, the sound of flesh colliding rang out.

A heavy punch landed, and before he could react, he instinctively reached out with both hands to block the punch. He was then blasted back dozens of steps by the force of the blow.

With just that one blow, his entire arm went numb. His fist, which was behind his back, twitched instinctively, and he was horrified. He looked up, stunned.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Li Rong—"

"It turned out to be you!"

Yes, besides him, who else in the world could knock you back dozens of steps with a single punch?

But something's not right. Wasn't Li Rong seriously ill? How could this be?
"You've recovered!"

Suddenly realizing something, Lord Xie was filled with dread. Could it be that that poisonous woman truly possessed the power to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded?
Today in the imperial court, the emperor's complexion looked much better. Could it be that he has really been cured?

His mind raced, his gaze fixed on Li Rong with an extremely complex expression. Li Rong's dark eyes were filled with a misty aura, his almost emotionless gaze fixed on Lord Xie, when suddenly, another heavy punch came crashing down.

Lord Xie was both flustered and furious, and went forward with his bare fists: "I have never faced you before, but today I will learn from the skills of the former God of War!"

As he spoke, a fierce look appeared in his eyes as he prepared to meet the attack.

However, after less than ten moves, he was knocked to the ground by Li Rong.

Heavy punches rained down one after another. Before long, Lord Xie lay on the ground, bleeding from his nose and mouth, barely alive. His eyes were fixed on Li Rong, filled with confusion, resentment, and utter despair at the sight of his broken heart.

"Arong, that's enough, if you keep hitting him you'll kill him—this is the palace!"

Chi Heng, who rushed over in a hurry, was startled by what she saw and immediately stepped forward to offer some advice.

"So what if it's the imperial palace?"

Li Rong spoke in a calm voice, then kicked the person away as if kicking away some trash. His sinister eyes fell on Xie Jieyu's face again.

"You want to kill me, Ah Nuan?"

"Your Highness, let's go back quickly..."

The palace servants behind Xie Jieyu turned pale with fright and tried to pull her back.

From the moment Xie Jieyu saw Li Rong, her eyes were glued to him, as if she were infatuated: "Brother Li, please don't take that bitch to heart, okay? Look at me, I'm Baoyu! When I was little, I got lost, and you took me to buy candied hawthorns. I waited for you to come back every day in the capital... You really didn't die..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Li Rong grabbed her by the neck. Then he threw her away forcefully, and Xie Jieyu flew heavily out of the air.

At the critical moment, Commander Liu rushed over and caught him, barely pulling him back from the brink of death.

Xie Jieyu sat on the ground, her face full of confusion: "Why? Why?"

His expression grew increasingly frantic.

Commander Liu frowned deeply: "General! What are you doing? This is the imperial palace!"

Li Rong ignored them and instead walked towards Lord Xie.

Commander Liu was startled and suddenly stepped in front of him, turning back to shout at the servant in front of Lord Xie, "Hurry up and take your master away! Do you want him to die here?"

The servant himself was also seriously injured, but compared to Lord Xie, who was lying on the ground like a lump of minced meat, he was much better off. He immediately got up, dragged the man away, and ran.

"Get out of the way." Li Rong's gaze fell on Commander Liu. "General, it's me! Please calm down and stop now. It's not too late to back down yet!"

Li Rong's gaze fell on Commander Liu, who was knocked back with a punch. He then stepped on Lord Xie's face and demanded, "Where is Anuan? Where is my child?"

Lord Xie could no longer speak; blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Commander Liu stepped forward again: "General! You mustn't!"

In a daze, Li Rong's gaze settled on Commander Liu.

"Where are they?"
