"You're following me?"
"Are you really following me?"
"Are you sure you're trying to stalk me?"
The third prince asked three times, somewhat incredulous; he had never seen such a novel method of tracking before. He instructed the eunuchs to carry them and follow directly behind him.
There's no need to even look; anyone who isn't blind can see them.
The Third Prince considered dozens of possibilities, but he never imagined they would be following him.
"Okay, then why are you following me?"
He pulled the fox fur coat he was wearing closer, hiding his jade-like face inside to conceal his expression, leaving only his smiling eyes looking at the two of them.
Qiuqiu fell silent, unable to think of a way to express herself. Would she get beaten up if she directly said she suspected him of being a bad person? But Fu Ning had already hit him!
I'm so conflicted!
Fu Ning was more direct; such worries were not within her considerations!
Her dark face remained expressionless, transforming her from a female general into a female bandit: "Give...me..."
"What?"
When the Third Prince noticed her gaze fixed on his waist, he asked in confusion, "You want to suck on the jade beads?"
Jade beads aren't actually that expensive, they're just quite unique. A piece of jadeite is encased inside a white jade stone. The jadeite inside is a naturally formed round bead, and because of the white jade casing, you can only vaguely see what's inside the jadeite.
This was part of the Empress's dowry, sealed away in a box for many years. It was only found when Fu Ning went to the palace's private treasury to find gifts for Qiu Qiu.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince has benefited from this for nothing.
Fu Ning: We must get the beads back today!
Chiu Chiu's heart is breaking: Why does my friend look so silly!
The beads are not important; the people are.
No, we need people!
Qiuqiu directed the young eunuch to carry her to the Third Prince, and with outstretched arms, she lunged forward like a hungry tiger. Her fierce stance terrified the young eunuch carrying her, making him cry.
"Miss Chuchu, you can't do this!"
If he were to fall headfirst, and the Empress were to punish him, he would have to thank Miss Qiuqiu on behalf of his entire family. Thank her for making their whole family die and be reborn sooner!
Chiu Chiu's outstretched hand was still a step away from the Third Prince when the little eunuch nimbly retreated. The hem of his robe brushed against her fingertips, and Chiu Chiu shed tears of regret: "Humans!"
The Third Prince hugged his own thin frame: "So one of you wanted the pearl, and the other wanted the person! Hmph, no way!"
His unruly nature was evident even in his childhood when he defied the Grand Tutor in the Imperial Study. However, as he grew older, he learned to use his outward appearance to disguise himself.
He knows when to do what, and how to present himself to maximize his own interests.
In front of Qiuqiu, some things become beyond others' control and are magnified infinitely, such as the Third Prince's deeply hidden nature.
He lifted Qiuqiu with one hand, the little dumpling dangling in the air, which frightened the eunuch so much that his face turned pale. He knelt down in front of him with a thud and raised his hands to catch Qiuqiu.
"Your Highness, Miss Qiuqiu was just teasing you. Children are fragile, you mustn't do that!"
Chirp swayed a couple of times, then raised her hand to pry at the Third Prince. Ignoring the little eunuch's words, she even deliberately shook her wrist, making Chirp sway helplessly.
"Chirp chirp, is it fun?"
Qiuqiu couldn't help but hold her breath. She could even feel the weightlessness of the Third Prince lifting her up one moment and throwing her down the next. Others might be playing around with her, but this person was really going to kill her!
"Wow!"
Chuchu couldn't hold back her tears!
[Someone please save Chiu Chiu!]
She met the Third Prince's gaze, and to her surprise, he was still laughing despite her miserable crying! His eyes were bright and sparkling, like a child who had discovered a new toy.
[You jerk! Fu Ning, help!]
With Qiuqiu in the hands of the Third Prince, Fu Ning was so anxious he wanted to hit someone. Since the other party was a prince, the little eunuch was powerless. The little princess was still learning to speak and didn't know what revenge was. Those of them who had grown up in the deep palace certainly did.
The little princess is too young to protect them. If they offend the third prince, dealing with two lowly eunuchs would be easier for him than crushing two ants.
All I ask is that the Third Prince will release Miss Qiuqiu once he's had his fill of playing with her.
The more Qiuqiu struggled, the more excited the Third Prince became, showing no intention of letting her go.
[Oh my god, this is yandere!]
Which crazy author created this little world? How did it come together so many bizarre characters?!
[Help! Someone is abusing the baby!]
The Third Prince's eyes gradually turned sinister. He raised the hand holding Qiuqiu a little higher, and the kneeling eunuch also raised his hand to catch Qiuqiu, who might fall at any moment. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he kicked the eunuch in the chest.
The already thin eunuch was kicked out, while another eunuch who was holding Fu Ning turned around and tried to run away when he saw that things were not going well.
"stop!"
Fu Ning also punched the little eunuch hard, trying to make him turn around: "Ah! Chu!"
Chiu Chiu is still in his hands!
The eunuch's legs trembled. "Third...Third Prince..."
"You know what to say and what not to say, don't I?"
"This servant understands! This servant understands!"
"roll!"
The little eunuch, lying on the ground, struggled to his feet but dared not move. If Miss Qiuqiu were injured today, he would surely die. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well trade his life for Miss Qiuqiu's!
"Your Highness, Miss Qiuqiu is staying with Her Majesty the Empress in the palace. If she gets injured, it will be difficult to hold her accountable. Perhaps this servant should take her back first. Tonight, we will not give her any milk!"
"No milk?" The Third Prince sneered, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "That's quite a severe punishment!"
Chirp was furious. What kind of devil is this?!
Not giving her milk is already a serious problem!
【Abuse! 】
【Abuse! 】
This is blatant child abuse!
"Whoosh!"
"Aaaaaah!"
"What the hell!"
Chiu Chiu felt the hand gripping her collar loosen, and she fell to the ground. Luckily, the little eunuch who had been holding her up caught her in time, otherwise she would be a dead fish right now!
“Woo woo woo!”
Chuchu rubbed her eyes, tears welling up, and glared at the Third Prince with red eyes: "You're bad!"
[Meow, beat him up!]
The Third Prince had three scratch marks on the back of his right hand, with beads of blood oozing from the wounds. He glanced at the large black cat that was crouching and watching him warily not far away, then lowered his head and licked a drop of blood, feeling an indescribable eeriness.
"Oh, it's a cat..."
"I don't know if cat fur or fox fur is warmer."
The black cat arched its back in alertness; anyone who abuses kittens is no good!
"Meow!"
The black cat hissed warily, looking ready to attack at any moment. The Third Prince didn't take a cat seriously; it was just an animal, after all.
"Kids aren't fun, but this cat..."
"hehe!"
The third prince wiped the corner of his mouth, the bloodstains on his face making him appear even more dangerous. "How about we skin him and make an overcoat?"
Isn't he afraid of getting rabies?
He's so dirty!
The third prince raised his arm, aiming at the black cat. Hidden in his sleeve appeared to be a hidden dart!
Just at the critical moment, a sudden sound of footsteps interrupted the Third Prince's violent act.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
