章 20: Ambush the Day After Tomorrow
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the mention of this, the composure on Concubine Liu's face was instantly replaced by righteous indignation. "Your Majesty, this person is extremely audacious. Let's not talk about how he challenged Your Majesty. Just the fact that he tried to murder His Majesty is enough to charge him with death a thousand times over. "
Concubine Liu's small fists were clenched tightly, and her gaze was extremely steady. It was clear that she truly hated the instigator.
"We can't let this person go. We must find him and beat him to death in public."
Emperor Yong Ning was middle-aged and had met all sorts of women. Generally, fearful and yes-man women behaved very timidly. They would never say such decisive words. The reason why Concubine Liu could say it was clearly because she felt sorry for him. He had suffered due to this severe crime.
This little girl was quite interesting when she was angry.
He reached out to rub Concubine Liu's head and said, "Alright, I already know how to resolve this matter. It's getting late; I will have someone escort you home. I will see you off as it's already dark outside."
"Alright," she said. Concubine Liu nodded obediently. Her expression was 30% shy and 70% happy.
Only Emperor Yong Ning and Xiao Lizi were left in the imperial study.
Xiao Lizi's eyes also stung. He had just been treated by the imperial physician, but because of the delay in treatment, his condition was much more serious than Emperor Yong Ning's.
His eyes were swollen to the size of peaches.
"Did you send anyone to look for that little brat?" Emperor Yong Ning asked.
That little brat had crossed the line again and again, so how could Xiao Lizi not send people after him? The first thing he did after returning was to send his disciple to seek the Golden Guards.
By now, the Golden Guards had probably sent more people to search for the culprit.
Then, he remembered that even though the Golden Guards had been searching for many days, they still had not found him.
"Your Majesty, I hereby report that we're searching for him, but that little brat is as slippery as a loach. We might not be able to find him."
Emperor Yong Ning was also worried about this.
Xiao Lizi was worthy of being Emperor Yong Ning's confidant, and his words hit the nail on the head.
"Your Majesty, why don't we wait for a while so we don't alert our target?"
After calming down and regaining his rationality, Xiao Lizi suddenly regretted the decision he had made in a fit of anger when he first came back.
If they sent the Golden Guards to look for him now, they would definitely alert the enemy and send him into hiding. It might be even more difficult to find him now.
However, if he waited until the day after tomorrow, when the seventeenth prince and the little b*stard met again, the Golden Guards could take him by surprise and capture the little b*stard in one fell swoop.
Xiao Lizi told Emperor Yong Ning this idea.
Emperor Yong Ning thought it through, and the two of them agreed. They immediately ordered the Golden Guards to stop searching for him and began to arrange the ambush for the day after tomorrow.
This time, they had to catch that kid.
…
The Cold Palace.
It was another day of eating cornbread.
Jun Ning looked helplessly at the cornbread that her mother had forced into her hands and a tear rolled down her cheek silently.
"Mother, can we exchange this for something else to eat?"
Eating this was just like eating elm tree bark.
No, no, no, even the bark of an elm tree was much better than this.
At the very least, the bark of the elm tree did not smell rancid.
Today's cornbread had a stinky smell, probably because of the hot weather and the fact that it had been left out for a long time.
Jun Ning was not being picky or troublesome. The bread was truly hard to swallow down.
Qiong Hua's heart also ached for Jun Ning, and she wanted to make her some delicious food so that she could grow up healthy, but...
"Yiyi, what do you want to eat? The vegetables that I've planted are not ready yet and all that we have left in The Cold Palace is grass. Are you going to eat a handful of grass?"
