Chapter 6: Danger Ahead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since she had bumped into him, she could not let anything happen to the emperor.

Concubine Liu endured the intense pain in her foot and ran to Emperor Yong Ning’s imperial carriage with all her strength.

She stretched out her arms to stop the carriage and said, “Your Majesty, it’s dangerous up ahead. You must not go any further.”

In the carriage, Emperor Yong Ning was cradling his head with one hand and his eyes were closed.

Suddenly, Concubine Liu stopped his carriage. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. He seemed a little impatient. “What is this danger that’s up ahead?”

The imperial palace was an important place, and there were guards everywhere. How could it be dangerous?

Unless someone was forcing him to abdicate his power.

However, that was clearly impossible.

One should not offend an emperor and his majesty this way. If this woman would not tell him what the danger was, he would kill her.

Concubine Liu did not know that her good intentions could very likely cause her to lose her life.

She bowed and said truthfully, “Your Majesty, I saw that something might have happened in the imperial kitchen. A few chefs are outside holding spatulas, rolling pins, and sticks. They are coming this way. They…”

Before Concubine Liu could finish her sentence, she heard an angry roar not far away.

“Little b*stard, stop right there!”

“Don’t think that I won’t be able to catch you just because you’re as slippery as a loach.”

Emperor Yong Ning was speechless.

Everyone was speechless.

Something was definitely going on.

“Xiao Lizi, can you go and see what’s happening ahead of us?” Emperor Yong Ning narrowed his eyes.

Upon receiving that order, Xiao Lizi went to take a look. He saw a group of people chasing after a little brat. They paid him no mind although he was purposefully approaching them. Instead, they deliberately turned onto another small path.

They were chasing the little brat who was running all over the place. It seemed like he could not be caught.

He wondered why so many people could not catch this kid. Then, he saw that when the crowd passed by a forked tree, the little brat took advantage of his own small stature and quickly ran away. As for the person behind him, because of his huge body size and momentum, he could not stop in time. He ended up stuck in the trunk of the forked tree.

It was fine if one person was stuck.

However, more and more people became stuck in that same forked tree, one on top of each other.

It was a funny sight.

The little brat had been toying with this crowd.

Xiao Lizi had served in the palace for so many years, but he had never seen anything like this.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he reported what he had seen to the emperor. After hearing it, the emperor felt the same way. ‘Why are they all so stupid? There are so many of them and yet, they can’t beat a little brat?’

Emperor Yong Ning was curious. “What kind of little brat can fool so many people?” He must be quite courageous.

“Your Majesty, why don’t we go and take a look?” Xiao Lizi said.

Emperor Yong Ning nodded.

Xiao Lizi motioned for the imperial carriage to start moving carefully toward the commotion. As for Concubine Liu, who had come to give them forewarning, she was perceptive enough to know that they would have bumped into the emperor. Therefore, she had stopped the imperial carriage in advance to prevent those people from colliding with the emperor.

If she had not, Xiao Lizi could not imagine how many people would end up punished, especially if the emperor was in a bad mood.

So, as he followed Emperor Yong Ning’s imperial carriage and reached Concubine Liu, he politely nodded to her. He looked at her and said with concern, “Your Grace, you have sustained an injury to your foot. We will have a disciple send for an imperial physician from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. So, you should hurry back to the palace and wait. The imperial physician will come to the palace shortly.”

“Thank you for taking the trouble to do so, Xiao Lizi.” Concubine Liu nodded.

Concubine Liu left after expressing her thanks. Xiao Lizi glanced at his disciple who was behind him. His disciple was very perceptive as well.

“Master, I will go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and bring the imperial physician so he can treat Concubine Liu.”
