Chapter 7: Little Rascal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Lizi followed Emperor Yong Ning’s imperial carriage and went to see what was happening.

This was the first time in many years that the emperor was in the mood to watch events like this unfold.

Especially at a time like this.

The emperor had been focusing his attention on his poor daughter every day. He had yet to find her and due to this, he was irritable and had started behaving strangely.

No one dared to provoke him.

But now, he did not know what made the emperor suppress his annoyance long enough to become interested in what was happening here. Whether it was Concubine Liu’s sudden appearance and sincerity in risking her life to put him out of harm’s way, or if the little kid had just piqued his interest, he did not know.

The answer could not be known. Only Emperor Yong Ning knew the answer to that.

Xiao Lizi was in the dark, so he could only take care of them earnestly.

The imperial carriage soon arrived in front of the tree.

The emperor looked at the few people who were stacked on top of each other, and the corners of his lips curled up. He then coughed into his fist a few times and ordered, “Xiao Lizi, have someone separate them.”

When the few chefs and kitchen hands saw the emperor’s imperial carriage arrive, they were initially afraid that the emperor would blame them for their ridiculous behavior. However, when they heard the emperor’s somewhat helpless but not angry words, they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” they said in unison.

However, the next moment, Emperor Yong Ning said, “Have each of them be struck 30 times.”

‘These idiots … There are so many of them. Yet they can’t even catch a little brat who was so obviously toying with them.’

They really deserved to be punished.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

They did not understand why the emperor’s demeanor had changed so quickly. Then, they were dragged away to be caned.

Being in the presence of a sovereign was really like being in the presence of a tiger!

After dealing with these people, Emperor Yong Ning finally had the time to pay attention to the little brat who had teased them.

He saw that the little rascal was not far away. He appeared to be dressed in very old and tattered clothes, and his whole body was stained with white. Most of it was on his head, so he could not see the child’s face clearly at all. However, he could vaguely tell that it was a boy.

The kid looked very tough.

At this moment, he was holding a chicken leg. Seeing that the imperial chefs had been taken away to be beaten, he took a bite of the chicken leg and raised his eyebrows at Emperor Yong Ning, who had helped him ‘exact revenge’.

There was a hint of provocation in his eyes!

He seemed to believe that Emperor Yong Ning had taken care of his pursuers and now, he could no longer tease them.

Emperor Yong Ning was confused. Where did this child come from? He noticed his provocative expression.

Emperor Yong Ning was speechless.

Did… Did this little brat just provoke him?

“Someone, someone come quickly. Apprehend the little kid.” Emperor Yong Ning gritted his teeth. “I will teach him a lesson today.”

Xiao Lizi looked at Emperor Yong Ning’s murderous expression and wanted to calm him down. “Your Majesty, he’s just a child. Don’t give rise to your anger. It’s not worth it. You must take care of your health.”

However, he could only think about it.

The emperor did not seem like he wanted to be talked out of this.

The guards in their golden armor, who were in charge of guarding the area all went forward to arrest him. However, not only did the little brat not panic, but he even nudged Emperor Yong Ning’s imperial carriage with his butt and ran away.

“This little b*stard.” Emperor Yong Ning was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. His throat was flushed too. “Chase him, hurry up and chase him. You must catch this little b*stard for me, or you’re all dead.”

The imperial guards pursued the child with even greater fervour upon hearing this order.

However…
