Chapter 437 Debt
Xiao Jiuer is soft, cute and adorable. She doesn't act like a princess and has melted the hearts of the palace maids.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded her attentively and carefully helped her fall asleep.
The moment the maid lowered the bed curtain, the little kid poked his furry head out from under the quilt and said softly, "Good night!"
"Good night, Princess!" The palace maids were flattered and almost cried.
They would be happy to serve such lovely little princesses even if there were ten more.
Wuji Palace.
Mingzhu's low moans were intermittent like the whimpering of a sick cat. The emperor stood outside the door, looking at the swaying figure inside with a gloomy expression.
After a while, the imperial doctors came out.
"Your Majesty, Princess Mingzhu's life has been saved for the time being, but the princess is seriously injured. I'm afraid..." The imperial physician didn't dare to continue.
"Can you guarantee that your life will be safe within three days?" the emperor said expressionlessly.
A three-day parade is enough to appease the people's grievances.
"As you command, we will do our best!"
The emperor stepped over the threshold and walked in.
The palace servants cleaned the room very well, but the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood.
After hearing the familiar footsteps, Princess Mingzhu suddenly opened her eyes, tears of resentment flowed from her eyes, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
"Mingzhu." The emperor stood in front of the bed and spoke in a low voice.
Princess Mingzhu looked at him in horror, shaking even more violently, and her upper and lower gums began to chatter.
"What else do you want? You might as well kill me!"
When Mingzhu spoke, her mouth was black. In order to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide, all her teeth were pulled out.
"I will naturally kill you, but not now." The emperor looked at her quietly.
"I came here to tell you that you are arrogant, conceited, extravagant, and violent. I have never met anyone as disgusting as you."
Mingzhu sneered: "You are the same! You are cowardly, selfish and hypocritical, you are like a rat hiding in the gutter!"
"For someone like you, even if a blessing falls from the sky, you won't be able to catch it! No one except me can tolerate your stupidity! Ye Jiulin, she will never be sincere to you!"
"I really want to pull out your tongue, but it's still useful." The emperor looked cold and turned away without looking back.
After leaving Wuji Palace, the emperor couldn't wait to return to Zunwu Palace.
Next, as long as he plays the role of a kind father and makes Xiao Jiuer's heart return to the court from Heihe City, the country's destiny will naturally shift to the capital.
As soon as I arrived at Xiao Jiuer's bedroom, before I even entered the door, I heard bursts of snoring.
"Sleeping so soundly?" The emperor was a little surprised.
How could a person be so well-behaved when he came to a strange environment?
"Your Majesty, the princess fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. She is very well-behaved and obedient." The palace servants praised her sincerely.
"Serve her well. I will come to see her again tomorrow morning."
The emperor smiled and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
Soon, peace returned to the palace.
Xiao Jiuer rubbed her eyes and climbed up from the bed with an immense inner struggle.
You know what, the mattress in the palace is so comfortable, I really want to continue lying on it!
But no matter how comfortable it is, it is not your home!
Besides, there are important things to do!
Xiao Jiuer put on her clothes in a hurry, climbed down from the bed slowly, and carefully walked around the group of dozing palace maids.
Then he climbed up to the door and unlatched it.
The sound of the door opening startled the dozing palace maid. Before the maid could say anything, she was slapped unconscious by the little dumpling.
The little ball ran out of the bedroom, leaving a shadow with its short legs. Because of its small stature, it was easy for it to avoid the patrolling guards.
After successfully leaving the Zunwu Hall, he sneaked along the corner of the palace wall towards the treasure pavilion.
The treasure house is a forbidden area in the palace. No one except the emperor is allowed to come here on weekdays.
So apart from the guards who are responsible for the safety of the treasure house, you won't see anyone else here.
And tonight, the guards suddenly heard a series of clattering footsteps.
The footsteps were faint and it was obvious that they were not those of an adult.
It’s strange, why is there a little kid walking around in the palace in the middle of the night?
The guards were feeling surprised when suddenly, there was a loud bang and a flash of fire appeared in the Zunwu Hall not far away.
"Oh no! Zunwu Hall was struck by lightning!
"The Emperor is in the Zunwu Palace, go and save him!"
Most of the guards went to put out the fire, leaving a small number to continue guarding the treasure house.
Soon, everyone in the palace woke up and the entire palace was busy putting out the fire. There were shouting and footsteps everywhere, and it was a mess.
The guards' attention was all attracted by the fire in the Zunwu Hall. They stood on the roof of the Treasure Pavilion, looking in the direction of the Zunwu Hall and talking non-stop.
"What happened? Why was Zunwu Hall struck by lightning?"
"Could it be that there is a demon in the Zunwu Palace?"
…
It’s not that they deliberately neglected their duties. The main reason is that the treasure pavilion is full of sophisticated mechanisms. Apart from the emperors of all dynasties who knew the key locations of the mechanisms and could enter and exit safely, others would not be able to come out alive even if they entered.
So nothing has ever happened in the treasure house over the years.
The little ball squatting at the foot of the wall staggered to the door of the treasure house, waved his little hand, and a window on the first floor was shattered.
Then he rolled up his sleeves, let out a whoosh, and climbed up to the window with his short legs swinging.
There was no light in the treasure house, but the light inside was not dim, so one could get a rough idea of the situation inside.
The treasure house has nine floors in total, and the layout inside is very exquisite.
At the very top is a transparent dome supported by eight huge pillars. Moonlight pours down from the top, and you can see the treasures on the nine floors clearly from the first floor.
It is so dazzling and sparkling that it is hard to take your eyes off.
"Hehehe..." The little ball sitting on the window grinned, waved his little hand, and collected all the treasures into the space.
Then he jumped out of the window and slowly walked along the wall back to the front of Zunwu Hall.
The fire in the Zunwu Hall had been mostly extinguished. The emperor was in a state of disarray, his eyes blazing with anger. "Where is Xiao Jiu'er? Has anyone seen Xiao Jiu'er?"
"Isn't she a lucky star? Why was the Zunwu Palace struck by thunder as soon as she returned?"
"I'm here!" Xiao Jiuer ran over.
"Xiao Jiuer, I need your explanation! What on earth is going on with the thunder in Zunwu Palace?" The emperor's eyes were filled with rage.
The little boy sneered in his heart, humph, what is the thunder? It’s just a bomb I threw!
"Why are you so weird!" Little Dumpling blinked innocently. "Didn't you say you would be nice to me? Why are you yelling at me again?"
The emperor choked, "Answer my question first! Aren't you a lucky star? How could you attract the thunder?"
"I never said that I am a lucky star!" Xiao Jiuer pouted in grievance.
"You're the one who says everything!"
"I said, I want to enrich my family! It's you who won't let me!"
"You said you would treat me well! Only then will I be willing to stay!"
"From what I've seen, you're a big liar! You don't love Xiaojiu at all!"
"Xiaojiu, I need your elbow! See you later!"
