Chapter 525 The Little Emperor Actually Stabbed Someone with a Knife

After all, Di Yanqing had only been in contact with the Imperial Preceptor before, so the Imperial Preceptor must have done something to him.

She had to nip this dangerous thing in the bud!

"I misspoke."

The man took the initiative to admit his mistake, gently holding her small hand, his voice revealing a sense of self-repentance that Xiao Tang could hear.

Xiao Tang was actually a little surprised.

This guy admitted his mistake so quickly?

Actually, I don't know what you mean by admitting your mistake...

During the banquet, the dancers twirled gracefully in the center, attracting the attention of almost every man present.

Xiao Tang had been observing the young emperor, seemingly trying to discern a hint of fear in his expression.

His dark, round eyes kept staring at them.

There was still a conflicted expression on her little face.

Perhaps they are arguing and struggling with that evil spirit in their hearts.

"Royal Aunt!" For some unknown reason, the young emperor suddenly stood up from his dragon throne and approached Xiao Tang aggressively. "You should go back now, it's getting late."

The reason he was so eager to get rid of the person was simply to ensure the safety of his aunt.

As for the Imperial Uncle...

Xiao Tang saw his sinister gaze fall on Di Jingling, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

This kind of killing intent was something that could never have existed in the previous Di Yanqing.

How could that simple-minded, silly, and foolish little emperor possibly harbor murderous intent when he sees Di Jingling like a little coward?

That's a ruthless move.

That damned imperial advisor truly deserved to die.

She clenched her fist.

When the young emperor forcibly dismissed her, she simply smiled and said, "What does Your Majesty mean by that? The palace banquet has barely begun, why are you telling me to go back already?"

"His Majesty has changed in just a few months."

The young emperor was very anxious.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

He clearly wasn't; he was just worried that his aunt would get hurt because of him.

If he loses control and hurts his aunt, then he... will never forgive himself!

The little guy's face was full of struggle and confusion.

Outsiders wouldn't be able to tell.

Xiao Tang knew that he was clearly struggling and being pulled apart by two distinct thoughts.

She reached out and nudged Di Jingling's waist with her elbow.

[I'll pretend to leave. I'll leave this young emperor to you for now; don't make any moves without permission.]

Emperor Jingling nodded slightly.

Xiao Tang immediately supported her abdomen and gently stood up.

"Your Majesty is right, I am indeed a bit tired."

She yawned casually and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Outside the main hall, Ruyi, supporting her, asked, "Your Highness, what's going on? Why did you come out first?"

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal. Let's find a warm place to sit and wait."

Ruyi was dumbfounded.

A warm place?

Ruyi suddenly realized that the only option was to take the carriage.

Xiao Tang seemed to see through her thoughts and interrupted her, "No, I won't go into the carriage."

Otherwise, the crucial time will be missed.

She wouldn't do that.

Ruyi groaned, a little helpless. "Your Highness, this is no joke. Should we find a place to rest first?"

It's too cold outside after all.

Moreover, only horse-drawn carriages are comfortable.

Xiao Tang shook her head, "Let's not go by carriage. Other places are too far away. We can just stay in the Imperial Garden."

I waited for about half an hour.

One after another, ministers left the main hall.

Xiao Tang stared intently at the people in the distance, watching the ministers leave one by one, but she never saw Di Jingling.

If I'm not mistaken, Di Jingling will be kept by that evil spirit.

In the end, it all depends on whether the young emperor is stronger or the evil spirit is stronger, and whether their state will change as they struggle and pull against each other.

Xiao Tang was very nervous.

She gripped her fingers tightly.

Ruyi, however, had no idea what the princess was looking at, so she could only look left and right.

Throughout the entire process, they were unable to locate the princess's target.

until……

The ministers all withdrew.

...

Inside the main hall.

The young emperor kept only Di Jingling.

He walked towards Di Jingling, but his movements were very strange.

The footsteps kept moving closer to him, one foot trying to move forward and the other backward. In this pulling motion, his walking posture was quite comical.

It was as if they were being controlled by some invisible force.

Di Jingling watched coldly.

After learning Xiao Tang's true feelings, there was no surprise.

No wonder the young emperor has been studying so hard lately, it turns out it was all for... this?

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Are you ill? Shall I fetch a doctor for you?"

The little emperor's expression became even stranger, half his face fierce, the other half drooping as if he wanted to cry.

It's like half of my body is being controlled.

The little emperor's lips twitched and trembled.

"Uncle...you, you, you run! Waaaaah!"

He barely uttered a few words before slapping himself several times across the face.

The conflict between the two personalities displayed by the young emperor frightened the eunuchs and palace maids.

The young eunuch asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The young palace maid said timidly, "Lately, I've often heard the Emperor talking to himself, it's so scary... ah!"

The young emperor suddenly turned around, stopped slapping himself, and then picked up a knife and stabbed the palace maid in the leg.

Blood flowed gushing out.

No one expected that the once gentle and obedient young emperor would actually stab someone with a knife?
