Chapter 387
As soon as these words came out, the other eunuchs all took a few steps back. They couldn’t understand what Prince An’s madness meant to them. The head eunuch expressed a look of joy that was mixed with fear as he yelled loudly and ran out, “Prince An has gone crazy again and he wants to kill! Guards, come quickly…”
Before he could finish his second sentence, another object flew out of the room and hit the head eunuch firmly on the back of the head. He fell forward on his head and ceased to move after.
It was the incense burner that matches the incense burner cover just now.
It was midsummer and the palace had replaced the window covers with thin paper. At this moment, since two items were smashed out of them consecutively, there was a large hole protruding from the thin paper that was attached to the wooden lattices.
From the hole, a person’s voice was faintly heard, “If you dare to do something to her, I think you’re the ones pushing me to treat you viciously when I’m trying to be courteous.”
Mu Mingtang was also surprised and took a step back subconsciously. Just then, Xie Xuanchen’s voice moved from afar to being near as he slowly walked towards the door, “Mingtang, get out of the way.”
Mu Mingtang quickly stepped aside and the moment she did, Xie Xuanchen suddenly kicked the door. She saw with his own eyes that the door frame shook when he gave it a few kicks. Soon enough, the solid and heavy palace door fell off the door frame, collapsed onto the ground with a loud bang from the gleaming and tough iron lock on the door handle.
For Xie Xuanchen, what’s the use of locking the door? At any rate, in his eyes, everything was as brittle as paper.
The door of the palace slammed onto the ground with a loud noise, stirring up a lot of dust. Mu Mingtang knew why Xie Xuanchen asked her to get out of the way. She covered her nose and vigorously fanned the floating dust in the air. After her eyes could see clearly, she immediately raised her head to look at Xie Xuanchen.
Xie Xuanchen stood at the door, surrounded by clouds of dust. His eyes were red and his face was almost pale like a ghost.
Although the situation was not out of control, it was not much better either.
Mu Mingtang felt distressed when she saw him. Although Xie Xuanchen was also receiving treatment in the mansion, there were people watching them the whole time. Every little bit of dosage increase and every little bit of time extended were cautiously calculated by them before the implementation. Unlike this time, the Emperor must have directly added a lot of Wu Yufei to the incense in order to be sure.
Xie Xuanchen was indeed on the verge of reason now. He might very well lose control in the next moment or he might return to normal, but it was already a dangerous situation. As soon as Mu Mingtang looked at him, she knew that Xie Xuanchen was not well. During the usual treatment, although Xie Xuanchen was tired by the end of it, he never looked this strained or fragile.
Now, his condition resembled the time when Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei got married, where Xie Xuanchen lost control and was trying to hold back.
