"Baby?"
The King of Dongyue was shocked when he heard the news.
He wore a yellow robe, and his large belly swayed when he was excited, while his mustache made his chin look even more bloated.
The Dongyue envoy cupped his hands and said, "Although the title of 'Demon King' sounds intimidating, he is indeed just a baby. News has already come from Loulan."
The King of Dongyue frowned. "How dare a mere infant come here? Perhaps..."
As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture towards the Dongyue envoy.
The Dongyue envoy frowned. "According to the report, he is the most favored youngest son of the Qin Emperor. I'm afraid we can't take action against him."
He also knew his own worth.
If a powerful nation like Qin dared to touch its prince, especially Ying Zheng's most beloved one, then Dongyue would likely cease to exist within three days.
The King of Dongyue was somewhat disappointed. "Fine, let him come. What can a mere baby do?"
The Dongyue envoy added, "I heard that the King of Loulan has already offered tribute, and it's five times the usual amount."
The King of Dongyue was quite shocked. "Five times? Hasn't this guy always been complaining about being poor? Where did he get so much money?"
The Dongyue envoy said, "Loulan was so tough before, but now they are obediently paying tribute. I'm afraid that baby might have some special tricks up his sleeve. Should we think of a way to deal with it in advance?"
The King of Dongyue disagreed, saying, "There's no need for that. If a mere child can control us, it only shows how useless Loulan is. We in Dongyue will not make such a foolish mistake."

"Are you sick?" The little guy was stopped at the palace gate.
The envoy from Dongyue nodded and replied, "Yes, the king should have come to greet the Demon King, but he is unwell and unable to receive guests. Why don't you come another day?"
The little guy tilted his head back and asked, "What kind of illness is so serious that I can't even see anyone?"
The envoy from Dongyue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's a very private illness that can't be easily revealed. Please come back another day."
The little guy looked startled, as if he'd just stumbled upon some juicy gossip. "Erectile dysfunction?! What kind of disease is that? It sounds serious."
The Dongyue envoy's expression changed. "It's not about impotence, it's a very private matter..."
If the ruler of a country is impotent, what will people think if word gets out?
He tried to explain, but the little guy ignored him and grabbed the guard at the gate, asking, "What is impotence? The messenger said the king cannot see people because he is impotent. What exactly is impotence?"
Upon hearing that he was the king, the two guards stood up straight and dared not pay him any attention.
Although the corners of her mouth were turned up in a wide grin, she dared not laugh.
Is the ruler not taking action?
What a bombshell!
It's a melon that will kill you if you eat it.
Just as the court session was ending, many important officials of Dongyue were about to board their carriages and leave when the little guy stopped them.
"Excuse me, what is impotence? The messenger said that the king is impotent and cannot be seen by people. What exactly is impotence? It must be very serious, right?"
The little guy asked everyone he met, blinking his big eyes as if he really didn't know.
Upon hearing this, the officials' expressions changed, and they frantically suppressed their smirks before getting into their carriages.
They rarely smile.
Unless you can't help it.
The little guy wasn't discouraged. As soon as one official left, he grabbed another official and started asking him the same questions and using the same script.
No one dared to answer his question; upon hearing the king's words, "He is impotent," they all hastily fled.
Seeing the little guy getting more and more enthusiastic with his questions, as if he wouldn't give up until he got the answer, the guard next to the Dongyue envoy frowned. "At this rate, won't the news of the king's impotence spread throughout the country?"
After all, many important figures from Dongyue are here. If the little guy keeps asking around, it's only a matter of time before the whole country finds out.
The Dongyue envoy frowned, turned around, and hurriedly left.
If that really happened, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his head.
Inside the palace, the King of Dongyue was sipping wine and listening to music, thoroughly enjoying himself. "No matter how powerful you are, I simply won't see you. What can you do about it?"
The envoy from Dongyue entered the hall, cupped his hands, and said, "It's terrible, Your Majesty! It's terrible!"
"Because you haven't seen that kid, he's impotent now!"
The King of Dongyue frowned, his face showing a hint of anger. "What nonsense are you spouting!"
The Dongyue envoy looked distressed. “I told you that you were ill as you instructed, but that brat insists that you are impotent. Now he asks everyone he meets. If this continues, I’m afraid the whole world will know.”
The King of Dongyue's expression changed, and he angrily rebuked, "What?! This shameless little bastard, he actually lied!"
The envoy from Dongyue looked at him and asked, "What should we do now, Your Majesty?"
The King of Dongyue roared, "Summon him here at once! What else can we do?! If this continues, I'll truly become impotent!"
He's panicking now too.
After all, there are some things that people believe are far more important than the facts.
If the whole world really finds out, then any explanations he makes later will only be seen as a cover-up, and will only make things worse.
If things continue like this, the royal family will inevitably be disgraced.
The Dongyue envoy left in a hurry, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Just as the King of Dongyue was troubled, a voice came from outside, "The Queen has arrived!"
A plump middle-aged woman hurried into the hall. "Husband, I heard you've lost your erectile function?"
The King of Dongyue's expression changed. "No! They're lying!"
Dong Yue frowned and said, "We're husband and wife, so there's no need to worry about saving face. I've already invited a doctor for you, so please take a look!"
The King of Dongyue was on the verge of tears. "No, I really am not impotent! That damned brat!"
