A Prince's Endless Indulgence-Chapter 1026 - 60, The Eunuch Emperor (4 updates)

Chapter 1026: Chapter 60, The Eunuch Emperor (4 updates)
Chu Yu’s heart ached as if it were being slashed by a knife.
He gently coaxed, "Jinnian, be good. Take the medicine and you’ll recover. When you wake up, you’ll see Ayu!"
How much Jinnian actually comprehended was unknown to Chu Yu, but she obediently took the medicine and then fell into a deep sleep.
He summoned the five elders and gave some instructions; with maids attending here, he felt at ease.
"Go on, we’ll be watching over here constantly!"
The best people from the Wangyue Sect had been deployed here. If they still couldn’t protect one person, it would truly be incompetence.
"We will definitely return by dawn!"
After Chu Yu spoke, he left the villa with Tianci.
Imperial Palace
Zhou Yunshen stood by the window, gazing into the distance.
There was a time when he thought the Great Zhou was immensely wealthy, and its martial arts were top-notch. But after truly experiencing a showdown between top masters, he realized that the Great Zhou had been idling in place, while Chu Yu had advanced his Hidden Guards’ martial skills leaps and bounds.
Not to mention, Han Tianci was wholeheartedly assisting him.
Behind Han Tianci lay the Wangyue Sect and the Han Family’s Hidden Guards.
Thinking of the missing Yun Jinnian and the waves of Hidden Guards that had gone out and died, Zhou Yunshen felt a sense of dread.
Today, his mother, the Empress Dowager, summoned him to talk, forcing him to cease his pursuit and telling him to let Yun Jinnian return to Tianchu, handing this trouble over to Tianchu’s Emperor.
But once Chu Yu returned to Tianchu, he would surely make certain maneuvers, possibly usurping the throne...
Once Chu Yu became the Emperor, his first target would be the Great Zhou.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes.
An arrow suddenly shot past, grazing his temple, and wedging into the pillar behind him.
"Assassins! Capture the assassin!"
After a sharp cry, the Hidden Guards lurking in the shadows quickly surged towards the incoming black-clad assassins.
But, as usual, the attackers came in teams, setting up formations that slaughtered his Hidden Guards, without making a move on him.
However, two of them charged at him from both the left and right.
With a thunderous momentum, he had nowhere to hide.
The two didn’t take his life but swiftly made a move from above and below, leaving him to defend against one but not the other.
A sharp pain erupted from his lower body, "Ah..."
His body convulsed, collapsing to the ground.
"Ah..."
Zhou Yunshen screamed, pain filled with utter despair.
"This is the result of your ingratitude!" Han Tianci said, taking the lead in flying out of the main hall.
Chu Yu gave Zhou Yunshen a glance.
The Great Zhou would not want a eunuch as Emperor, chaos was inevitable.
Turning to leave the main hall, he shouted, "Retreat!" unrestrained excitement and joy in his voice.
Upon receiving the news, the Empress Dowager hurried over. The Imperial Physicians had already arrived, carrying out basins of blood-stained water. The Empress Dowager was so shocked her body went limp, "How could this happen?"
After a long time, a group of Imperial Physicians kneeled before the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, His Majesty has been rendered useless!"
"Useless? What do you mean by useless?" The Empress Dowager screamed, urgently pressing for answers.
"His Majesty can no longer continue the bloodline..."
The Empress Dowager was too shocked to utter a single word.
She had never imagined encountering such an occurrence.
Since her journey from afar, through every step, all things had been successful, be it love or friendship.
Even if she didn’t marry those two men, she still became their cinnabar mole, making them risk their lives for her, but truly never thought her only son would be turned into a eunuch.
"Get out!"
When she shouted those three words, she already had a guess on who was responsible.
Clenching her fists tightly, she entered Zhou Yunshen’s bedroom, seeing her son lying stiffly on the bed like a puppet with cut strings, lifeless, she broke into tears, "I advised you back then, not to risk it for such a woman, but you wouldn’t listen. Now what do you want me to do?"
