Song Yalin took two aback steps in shock, her face turning white from fear at the ruthless and decisive action taken by Marquis Mu Houchu.
She had long known of the Marquis's reputation, a ruthless man with too much blood on his hands. She knew how formidable he was, but had never really been in contact with him, so she didn't realize how cruel he could be till this moment!
He dared to simply drag off and kill the eunuch sent by the Emperor with the Imperial Edict, and this absurd act could insinuate rebellion, couldn't it?!
Mu Houchu's icy glare fell on Song Yalin. This was the first time he had truly looked at her, and his sinister gaze sent chills down her spine.
Chilling deeply enough to make Song Yalin almost believe that she could die within the next second.
If he dared to kill the eunuch that the Emperor sent with the Imperial Edict, what was to stop him from getting rid of her?
