Chapter 420 Don’t Cry and Complain
"never mind."
Xixi looked at the King of Huainan disappointedly, "Grandfather said to respect the elderly. Since it was given by the old prince, then bring it up."
King Huainan clenched his fists after Xixi finished speaking.
Does she have to add "old" in front of her name every time she calls herself?
Will I die if I don’t add it?
Is it necessary to remind him again and again that he is an old man, he is old and in poor health!
Haven’t you heard the saying that an old horse in the stable still has a thousand miles to go?
King Huainan looked at Xixi's small body and took a deep breath. Well, she might not have read many books and didn't know there was such a saying.
but!
The King of Huainan really wanted to teach this guy a lesson for not respecting his elders...
Also respected.
So angry!!!!
"Where's the gift I brought? Bring it up!"
I don’t know if it was because he was too angry, but the voice of King Huainan was particularly loud when he shouted this.
Xixi was waiting expectantly for the gift from Prince Huainan, while Zhou Yunshu and most of the people at the palace banquet were feeling uneasy.
The King of Huainan came to congratulate with bad intentions, so how could the gift he brought be a good thing?
So when the King of Huainan's men were carrying a large box and walking towards Xixi, Prime Minister Peng stood up and said, "Just present it here."
If we get any closer, no one will be able to take responsibility if something happens.
The person presenting the gift glanced at King Huainan, and when he saw him nod, he stood still.
"Nancy." King Huainan looked at Xixi with a half-smile and said, "I am also your great-grandfather, so it's not too much to call you that."
Xixi nodded.
"Are you sure you want to see it? You're still young, and if you get scared and start crying, you can't hug your mother and complain, hahahaha!"
Although the people at the banquet did not have any intention of showing excessive respect to the new emperor, they all knew that having such a little kid as emperor was much better than having a cunning person like the Prince of Huainan as emperor.
So after Prince Huainan said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.
Some of them hoped that Xixi would refuse, because it was obvious that the King of Huainan had bad intentions. If Xixi was really scared or frightened out of her wits, Ji Sheng would definitely fight with the King of Huainan.
As for those who wanted to see Xixi accept it, they also wanted to see Ji Sheng and King Huainan fight.
But Xixi seemed to have no idea what fear was.
She smiled and said, "I won't cry. Thank you for your concern, old prince."
The King of Huainan heard the harsh word "old" and said directly to his own people: "Open it and see if our new queen likes the gift I gave her!"
"yes."
The moment the box was opened, a foul stench of corpse filled the hall.
And in the middle of the box was a human head with dried blood.
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be around forty years old.
There were screams and exclamations all around. No one had expected that the King of Huainan's gift would be a human head.
Prime Minister Peng pointed directly at the King of Huainan and asked loudly, "King of Huainan, what are you doing?"
Prince Huainan listened to the frightened sounds around him and looked at the small figure on the dragon throne with disappointment. Why didn't she react at all? This was not like the reaction of a child!
Is it because it's too far away and she can't see?
Zhou Yunshu's face also turned gloomy when she saw the head.
Just as the King of Huainan said before, it was really despicable that he, a man of Xixi's great-grandfather's generation, used such despicable means to intimidate a child.
"What am I doing?" King Huainan stood up and said with a smile, "Giving gifts~"
He walked over to the head, grabbed the head that was emitting a strong corpse stench, and said to Xixi who was sitting on the dragon throne: "Do you know whose head this is?"
Xixi shook her little head, but there was still no fear in her eyes.
She had seen corpse heads often since she could remember, so she didn't find it scary.
She simply felt that this old prince was not clean at all. Even the interrogators in the black prison would wear gloves when executing people. He actually held the head like this. How dirty!
King Huainan frowned, looking at Xixi, who seemed to be either stunned or unresponsive, and said, "This man is Liu Duan, the rebel in Luzhou. If I kill him, does that count as a gift?"
Liu Duan was a bandit leader who rose to power in Luzhou at the beginning of the year.
Some people said that he was originally a member of the Red Lotus Sect, while others said that he was a failed scholar. In any case, there were all kinds of opinions, and many people went to join him.
It was because the people in Luzhou had already been suffering from a drought. Since Liu Duan was able to let them survive, what was wrong with them rebelling?
When Zhou Yunshu took a boat to Youzhou, Liu Duan was still alive and well in Luzhou. Unexpectedly, he would become the dead soul under the sword of King Huainan today.
Now that I think about it, the Prince of Huainan, who had previously lived in a remote corner, actually did have a certain talent in military affairs. It was just that he was so humble before that no one noticed.
Xixi thought about it and realized that those who rebelled were indeed bad people, so she nodded and said, "It's a gift."
King Huainan smiled at Xixi and took a step forward, but was stopped by eunuchs and palace maids.
The King of Huainan didn't look at them. He only said to Xixi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, "Your Majesty, don't you want to see such a gift with your own eyes?"
"Prince Huainan, you are so outrageous!" Prime Minister Peng could no longer tolerate it!
They were worried day and night that the little emperor was too young and couldn't be frightened, but the King of Huainan was so different that he wanted to send the head of someone who had been dead for who knows how many days to Xixi!
He deliberately wanted the new emperor to be afraid of him.
The King of Huainan held his head in his hand and turned to look at Peng Xiang coldly and said, "I am talking to my great-granddaughter, do you have the right to interrupt me?"
After tonight, he won't let him have another chance to interrupt!
Xixi looked at the Prince of Huainan below, and when she heard him calling her great-granddaughter, she said very seriously, "Dad said that my great-grandfather has passed away a long time ago. Is it possible that the old prince has lost his memory because of his age?"
"well."
There's always something funny about children imitating adults sighing. She said seriously, "I used to hear Nanny Wang say that old people get dementia as they get older. It turns out they really do."
King Huainan: "!! Little beast, wuwu!"
Before he could finish the word "little bastard", a young man who was also wearing armor hurriedly covered the mouth of King Huainan. It was not time to turn hostile yet.
"Old Prince, the head you are holding is rotten. Aren't you afraid of getting it dirty? What if it carries the plague?"
When the word "plague" came out, everyone in the hall was instantly frightened.
This is not impossible!
Especially since there had indeed been a plague in Luzhou before, the panic in the hall was even more chaotic than when the King of Huainan's men had to take out their heads!
As for what Xixi said next, they could no longer hear it. Many people asked King Huainan to throw the head out immediately, some even shouted for the imperial physician, and some even rushed out of the palace directly.
After Xixi finished speaking, King Huainan angrily threw the head in his hand into the hands of Cao Zhengxing, who was watching the show nearby.
Cao Zhengxing: “…”
Cao Zhengxing threw his head out, thinking about Xixi's words, and quickly wiped his hands over and over again.
"It seems you are deliberately embarrassing me!"
King Huainan's plan was completely disrupted by Xixi, who did not go according to plan, but it didn't matter.
The King of Huainan shouted outside the palace gate: "Someone come!"
Men in the armor of the imperial soldiers rushed in. The King of Huainan looked at them without fear. Instead, he smiled and said to Cao Zhengxing, "Eunuch Cao is really reliable. He has been prepared for this."
After saying that, he said directly: "Arrest everyone in the hall!"
