Chapter 304 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (57 words)
The Empress sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, but she made no move.
The second prince's lips curled into a faint smile, as if he were watching an amusing farce.
The three of them acted as if they hadn't seen the chaotic and violent scene at all, remaining indifferent and unconcerned.
Yun Sui seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction.
He slightly raised his chin, his cold gaze sweeping over the beaten and disheveled rioters, and continued:
"Those who slander me should have expected this outcome."
Everyone must be responsible for their words and actions; those who say bad things should be punished accordingly.
Those who had originally wanted to complain now kept their mouths shut, afraid that they might accidentally become Yun Sui's next target.
The banquet hall was deathly silent, save for the occasional groans of pain from those who had been beaten and the rapid breathing of the crowd, all driven by fear.
As the scene gradually quieted down, Yun Sui's confidants exchanged knowing glances.
One of the confidants, a tall man with a stern face, strode forward.
His voice was loud and penetrating, determined to make sure everyone present could hear him clearly:
"Everyone, perhaps you don't know who is standing in front of you."
His gaze swept over the crowd, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"This is none other than the youngest marshal in the history of the empire—Jun Sui."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the banquet hall.
Many people stared wide-eyed at Yun Sui, as if he had suddenly descended from another world.
They had to re-evaluate this young man who had always stood quietly beside Yun Suisi.
"Jun Sui? That legendary marshal?"
Some people couldn't help but gasp softly, their voices filled with shock and awe.
"Impossible, right?"
Doesn't Marshal Jun always wear a mask and never show his true face?
How could it be him?
The other person muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, clearly unable to process this sudden fact.
A cold smile crept across the confidant's lips as he continued:
"That's right, Marshal Jun Sui does wear a mask all year round, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist."
On the contrary, he had been secretly serving the empire and steadfastly protecting this land.
He is revealing his true identity today because someone has committed an unforgivable crime within the palace, and the matter has reached a critical juncture where the truth must be uncovered.
His words carried a deeper meaning, as if subtly hinting at a massive conspiracy brewing in the shadows.
Everyone's hearts tightened upon hearing this, and they instinctively held their breath, not daring to make a sound, waiting with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation for his next words.
"Marshal Jun Sui's identity has always been a secret, in order to protect him and also to protect the empire."
Another confidant chimed in, his tone calm and firm: “His existence is one of the Empire’s top secrets.”
"If someone hadn't committed such a daring act in the heart of the palace today, right under the emperor's nose, endangering the very core of the empire, we wouldn't have so easily revealed this secret."
Yun Sui remained standing in the same spot, his expression calm, as if all the noise and shock around him had nothing to do with him.
His gaze was cold and profound, like a deep pool in the cold night, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.
Those who had previously harbored doubts about him were now forced by an invisible pressure under his gaze, involuntarily lowering their heads and no longer daring to meet his eyes.
“You may not know about Marshal Jun Sui’s achievements, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t exist.”
The first confidant continued, his tone tinged with pride, as if recounting his proudest achievement.
"He once led the imperial army in a fierce battle against foreign enemies on the border, repeatedly repelling the invading enemies that surged in like a tide, and defending the empire's territory with his blood and life."
He also secretly orchestrated internal crises within the empire, using his extraordinary wisdom and decisive actions to avert one crisis after another that could have overthrown the empire.
His existence is the empire's strongest backing, an invisible bulwark protecting each and every one of us.
"But...why does he never show his face?"
Someone couldn't help but ask, their voice filled with doubt, breaking the brief silence.
"Because of his special status."
The confidant gave the man a cold look, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
"The very existence of Marshal Jun Sui is a powerful deterrent to the enemy."
He is like a sharp blade hidden in the shadows, making the enemy fearful yet unable to defend against him.
If he easily exposes his identity, he will not only put himself in great danger, but also become a target that the enemy will try every means to eliminate.
It will also bring unnecessary trouble to the empire, putting it in a passive position.
Everyone was shocked and fell silent.
"The reason why Marshal Jun Sui has stood up today is because someone dared to poison Master Sun in the palace."
The confidant's voice suddenly rose, tinged with anger.
"Master Sun is a pillar of the empire, serving the emperor for many years and devoting himself to the stability and development of the empire."
This act of poisoning a high-ranking official within the palace was not only a cruel murder of Master Sun personally, but also a blatant provocation against the majesty of the empire!
A wanton shake-up of the empire's foundations!
Marshal Junsui will absolutely not stand idly by!
Those who had previously questioned Yun Sui now truly realized the seriousness of the matter.
They all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, fear and unease spreading in their hearts.
Yun Suisi snorted coldly: "A bunch of opportunistic snobs who bully the weak and fear the strong."
His face wore a mocking expression, but his heart was in turmoil.
His gaze was fixed on Yun Sui—no, he should now be called Jun Sui—his thoughts were racing.
"Jun Sui, he still calls himself that."
Yun Suisi murmured softly, his voice so soft it was almost drowned out by the surrounding noise.
"This identity, tsk... it came too suddenly, yet it seems like it was foreshadowed."
Yun Suisi pondered to himself.
From the moment he first met Yun Sui, he felt that this person was not simple.
The composure in his every move and the calmness in the face of adversity are qualities that ordinary people do not possess.
He never expected that Yun Sui was so extraordinary.
"The marshals in the army control the empire's military power."
This is so similar to the previous world.
He recalled his experience in another world, where Jun Sui also held a pivotal position in the army, and now Jun Sui was in the same situation.
The similarity between the two worlds gave him a strange and indescribable feeling.
"Is this story about a god falling in love with a devil?"
Yun Suisi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
He looked at Jun Sui, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Now that everyone knows my identity, things will be much easier from here on out."
Jun Sui's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the empty banquet hall.
"Someone has committed an unforgivable crime within the palace, plotting to murder Master Sun. This is an open provocation against the empire."
No one is allowed to leave until the truth comes out.
His words were firm and unequivocal, leaving no room for negotiation.
A murmur arose from the crowd; some people looked dissatisfied but dared not voice their protest.
A richly dressed nobleman couldn't help but mutter under his breath:
"What kind of nonsense is this? We're all innocent, why should we be left here?"
Although the words were spoken softly, they were still clearly heard in the quiet environment.
Jun Sui's gaze instantly shot towards that person like a sharp blade. The cold look made him tremble all over and immediately shut his mouth.
"innocent?"
Jun Sui sneered, "No one can escape responsibility until the truth is found."
