C509: I don’t need anyone on the Road.

After hearing Eunuch Liu's words, He Zhiran had already realized something.

No wonder they hadn't encountered a single servant when they first entered the mansion.

Her father must have anticipated what the Empress Dowager would eventually do, so he had dismissed all the servants early to prevent them from getting implicated.

Uncle Feng was an exception—he was utterly loyal to her father, and even if he knew he would die, he would never flee and eke out a miserable existence alone.

Sure enough, Minister Hecbroke into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha... I knew this day would come, so I dismissed my family and servants long ago. Even if I die, I won't need anyone to accompany me down to the Yellow Springs."

"You... you have a lot of nerve!" Eunuch Liu never expected Minister Hao to be so resolute. Before he left on this errand, the Empress Dowager had warned him that Minister He was stubborn, and if he wasn't afraid to die, they could threaten him with his family members.

Little did he know, Minister He had already made preparations.

What leverage did Eunuch Liu have to threaten him now?

After pondering for a moment, Eunuch Liu suddenly thought of something.

"Don't forget, your daughter is still in the northwest. With just one word from the Empress Dowager, she can dispatch a team. Do you think your daughter would have any chance of survival?"

Upon hearing this, He Zhiran could no longer remain calm.

She and Mo Jiuye simultaneously emerged from behind the folding screen.

The two moved in perfect coordination. While Eunuch Liu was distracted, they knocked out the two attendants at his sides from the left and right.

Then she sneered, "If you want to kill me, you don't need to go to the northwest. I'm standing right in front of you—let's see if you have what it takes."

Mo Jiuye was a martial artist with exceptional awareness of danger in his surroundings.

While hiding behind the folding screen, he had been carefully sensing the situation, confirming that only these three people had come to the mansion today.

Therefore, when He Zhiran decided to reveal herself, he maintained a supportive stance.

Eunuch Liu didn't recognize the two people before him, but he wasn't brainless.

From He Zhiran's words, he could deduce her identity. However, he found it hard to believe that the young Miss He, who had married into the Mo family and been exiled to the northwest the very next day, could appear in the capital.

It had to be said that this Eunuch Liu wasn't completely senseless.

Although he inwardly doubted the woman's identity, he clearly saw the entire process of their actions just now.

Their agility matched that of the Empress Dowager's secret guards, undoubtedly marking them as martial arts experts.

Eunuch Liu was sensible enough not to need He Zhiran or Mo Jiuye to warn him to keep quiet—he sealed his lips on his own accord.

However, to verify the identities of the people before him, he still asked in a normal tone:

"Who are you, exactly?"

He Zhiran sneered coldly.

"Heh... Weren't you just threatening my father, telling the Empress Dowager to send people to the northwest to take my life? How about it?
