The people outside the door were still shouting at the top of their lungs: "Grandpa Hong, the emperor has given his order. Come out quickly to receive his order and follow us into the palace to see him!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen in the room couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart and calm herself down.

She straightened her clothes and hair, then raised her head and chest and said loudly to the outside of the door: "I am Princess Fuxia, and I am here to protect the Hong family at the order of the emperor. If you really came with the emperor's order, please show me the Cheng Qiandian token as proof of your identity! Otherwise, don't talk nonsense here!"

When the person outside the door heard what Ye Zifen said, he paused for a moment, as if he was shocked by this sudden request.

After a while, he said in a gloomy tone, "Oh my, in this world, who is so bold as to forge an imperial decree? Princess Fuxia, you are so directly suspicious of me. Are you relying on the emperor's love for you and are so fearless? Or... are you trying to openly challenge the emperor's supreme authority?"

When Ye Zifen heard this, she felt a strong surge of anger in her heart, but she soon realized that this was clearly a verbal trap set by the other party.

As long as you are not careful, no matter which of them you admit, it will bring you endless troubles.

So she pursed her lips tightly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and chose to remain silent.

The man outside the door became more and more proud when he saw that Ye Zifen had not responded.

He sneered and continued to mock, "Humph, Princess Fuxia, you are just like that! After all, the reason why you can be so arrogant here is because you rely on the great reputation of the Tiger Army. So, why don't you dare to answer now? Are you feeling guilty?"

Ye Zifen's face was originally full of anger, but for some reason she was suddenly no longer angry.

If she were in the other person's position, she would never say such words, but would try her best to take the person in front of her away as soon as possible. This is the most important thing.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zifen said, "Even if there is no so-called Tiger Army, I have become the Princess of Fuxia based on my own abilities. How can a mere servant like you casually comment on what I have done?"

Her words were full of degradation and insult to the other person's personality, and she launched a ruthless personal attack.

As a slave and a eunuch who has been cut off from his family, these are the things he is most reluctant to hear.

As expected, the other party immediately became furious after hearing this.

At this moment, he wished he could tear Princess Fuxia into pieces, but now he couldn't see anyone, so he became even angrier.

However, he seemed to know exactly what kind of situation he was in, so he suppressed his anger and quickly responded, "I came here this time to convey the emperor's order and specially invite Mr. Hong to the palace to meet him. During this period, outsiders had better be careful in what they say and do, and don't lose courtesy."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, sneered in contempt, and then retorted: "Humph, you are such an interesting servant. When you heard my voice, you neither saluted nor greeted me, and even dared to threaten me. Now you are the one who warns me to be careful? You are really so bold!"

Facing Ye Zifen's accusation, the other party was stunned at first, and then suddenly said loudly: "Since I can't invite Master Hong, I have no choice but to send the imperial guards to invite you! I only hope that Master Hong can afford the losses that the entire Hong family will suffer by then."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen still had a trace of doubt in her heart, but at this moment this doubt disappeared in an instant, and she became more certain of her guess deep in her heart.

However, what followed was an increasingly heavy feeling of worry.

On the one hand, she was worried about the situation in the palace; on the other hand, she was even more worried about Zhang Gaoyi's safety, fearing that he might really encounter an accident.

Moreover, she was secretly wondering whether Zhang Gaoyi could mobilize manpower to provide reinforcements in a timely and effective manner.

Although she was filled with worries, there was no sign of panic on Ye Zifen's face.

She raised her chin slightly, and said with a firm and confident look: "Back then, about five or six years ago, I was trapped in Zhuangzi. At that time, we were besieged by extremely brutal Japanese pirates! Even so, I never uttered the word 'fear' from beginning to end. Humph, if you have the guts, just come at me!"

Not only the enemies outside the door who were eyeing them covetously, but even the guards of the Hong family, clearly felt an indescribable arrogance and fearlessness from Ye Zifen's powerful words.

Then, Ye Zifen shouted loudly: "Brothers and sisters, please be alert! It won't be long before we face a tough battle! But don't be afraid, I will always fight side by side with you! After this battle, the Hong family will definitely reward you handsomely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards from the Hong family responded with a loud shout, expressing their willingness to fight to the death.

However, not long after, a dense and chaotic sound of footsteps came from far away.

At the same time, a sharp and piercing shout suddenly rang out outside the door: "The emperor has given his order. Old Master Hong and Princess Fuxia, please accept the order and enter the palace immediately!"

When Ye Zifen heard the sharp and piercing voice, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold and disdainful smile.

A hint of cunning and suspicion flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself, "Humph, looking at this situation, this person in front of me is most likely the reinforcements deliberately invited by the eunuch."

You know, the imperial guards can't be dispatched casually.

Do you really think you can easily treat everyone as fools?

However, judging from the shouts coming from outside the door, those people were obviously professionally trained, their actions were uniform and disciplined.

But Ye Zifen racked her brains but couldn't figure out where these guys of unknown origin came from.

Maybe it was the time period when they came to Beijing, so they had no idea!

Their time is still too tight.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and responded loudly through the heavy door: "Eunuch, please understand that it is late at night. The old master is old and has not been in good health. It is really inconvenient for him to enter the palace to see the emperor! Otherwise..."

Before Ye Zifen could finish her words, the father-in-law interrupted her angrily.

He roared at the top of his voice: "How dare you! This is an imperial decree issued by the emperor himself. If anyone dares to disobey, don't blame me for being rude! Do you want to disobey the emperor's order?"
