Chapter 226 What's the point of keeping you
"What? Imperial Concubine Sister has such a cruel heart!" Upon hearing this, Gou Chunmei broke out in a cold sweat and her face turned pale instantly.
She didn't expect that she would be dealing with the devil. She thought she was not a good person, and even a little bad.
But compared with Concubine Yin, she is nothing!
The black shadow saw that Gou Chunmei was frightened and her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling.
He quickly and softly consoled her, "Don't panic, young lady. Just relax. I'll handle this matter. When I return, I'll replace it without anyone noticing!"
After hearing this, Gou Chunmei calmed down a little.
I thought to myself: Fortunately, I rescued this black shadow at the beginning, otherwise it would be difficult to resolve the situation in the future.
The thought of that emotionless puppet-like thing made her hair stand on end and feel terrified.
At this moment, you, Gou Chunmei, finally felt a little grateful towards the black shadow.
He hurriedly warned, "Brother Hei, when you go to exchange my blood this time, you must be extra careful! There must not be any mistakes!"
When the black shadow heard Gou Chunmei's caring words, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and his whole heart was beating fast with excitement because of this care.
He quickly responded, "Don't worry, Miss. I will act with caution and will definitely not put myself in danger!"
After saying this, the black shadow turned and left Minister Gou's residence.
After leaving the mansion, he went straight to the gate of the imperial palace, entered the palace with the token, and then walked steadily towards the palace.
When they reached the Beauty Palace and there was no one around, the black shadow moved quickly, reached into his arms, and took out a pill that emitted a strange light.
Without any hesitation, he swallowed the pill in one gulp.
In an instant, a jaw-dropping scene happened. The black shadow disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared here.
If Wang Xinyao were here at this moment, with her extremely keen ability to perceive the aroma of elixirs, she would only need to sniff the faint scent of the elixir to immediately realize that what he was using was an invisibility pill!
"Greetings, Master. I have failed to do my job well and am late. Please punish me!"
After making sure that there was no one else around, a black shadow appeared like a ghost and bowed respectfully to Concubine Yin.
A hint of displeasure suddenly appeared on Concubine Yin's originally beautiful face.
Her beautiful eyes widened as she sternly shouted, "Black Shadow, why did you wait so long to report? I just asked you to kill a peasant woman, why did it take you so long?"
Upon hearing this, the black shadow's body trembled violently, as if enveloped by an invisible pressure. His knees softened and he fell to the ground with a thud.
He replied tremblingly, "Master, please calm down. I am truly incompetent. I failed to complete this mission..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yin was already furious: "What? After being away for so long, in the end, I still can't complete the mission!"
"What's the point of keeping a useless person like you?" After saying that, Concubine Yin waved her jade hand, grabbed the teacup at hand without hesitation, and threw it fiercely at the black shadow!
The black shadow didn't dare to dodge and had to take the blow head-on.
With a whoosh, the teacup came whistling along with the sharp wind and passed by the broken arm of the black shadow accurately.
The black shadow groaned, and felt a piercing pain in his broken arm, but he didn't dare to dodge at all.
After the teacup hit the black shadow, it lost its momentum and fell straight to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
In an instant, the tea in the cup splashed everywhere, forming a fine mist.
"You...your arm?" It was not until this moment that Concubine Yin noticed that the black shadow in front of her had turned into a one-armed man without her knowing when!
This shock was so great that she was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
After a long while, she finally recovered and said, "With your skills and abilities, you should be considered one of the best masters in the entire Xia Kingdom!"
"There are very few people who can hurt you. How could you end up in such a miserable state?" She asked with a look of suspicion and disbelief on her face.
The black shadow lowered his head and knelt on one knee: "Master, please calm down. It's all because of my poor performance."
"I thought I was going to Nanhu County to carry out this mission without any problems, but who would have thought that something unexpected would happen midway."
"Not only is Wang Xinyao particularly difficult to deal with, but the cultivation level of Xia Kingdom's Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan is even higher. Moreover, they have a young eunuch with extremely powerful lightness skills. They all appeared in Heifeng County!" The black shadow's voice was a little nervous, fearing that Concubine Yin would get angry again.
When she heard the three words "Zhao Haoxuan", Concubine Yin's originally beautiful face changed drastically in an instant, and her pretty face became hideous and distorted because of anger!
Her eyes widened and she shouted, "What? The prince is still alive? He didn't die in the plague? Damn it!"
"However, even if it is really the prince himself, with his limited skills, he definitely does not have the ability to hurt you like this!" Concubine Yin's face was full of doubt.
"My lord, that's true. But...but..." The black shadow seemed to have some concerns, and hesitant and hesitant while speaking.
Seeing this, Concubine Yin became even more angry. Her eyebrows raised and she scolded, "But what? Just say what you want to say. Stop hesitating like this, or I will not let you off easily!"
"Yes, master! My arm was actually injured by a ghost because I was completely unprepared at the time!" Hei recalled what happened that day, and then began to tell Concubine Yin in detail.
As Concubine Yin listened to the black shadow's narration, the expression on her face became increasingly gloomy.
When the shadow finished speaking, she slammed the table and shouted angrily, "This stinky girl, how dare she betray me? Doesn't she know she's afraid that I'll peel off her skin? She's simply an ungrateful wolf!"
"Hmph, if I had known earlier that I should have strangled her to death when I gave birth to her, so that she wouldn't have caused me so much trouble now!" Concubine Yin said fiercely again.
The dark shadow standing by couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard Concubine Yin's vicious words.
After all, she was his master's biological daughter! Although he had lost an arm in this incident, he didn't hold much resentment towards her.
After all, even if his arm is gone, he can regenerate it when he reaches the Saint realm.
In his opinion, that person was also a member of the royal family with a miserable life like him, perhaps even more pitiful than him...
"Heifeng County, are you sure? Are you really saying that you met them in Heifeng County?" Concubine Yin widened her eyes, staring at the black shadow in front of her in disbelief, and asked anxiously.
