He cried as he broke free from Jiawang's mother's arms and tried to grab the already dead Dahuang, but Zhiruo pulled him back.
At this moment, the old lady had already fainted, and Granny Zhen was anxiously calling her. Who would care about a child's crying?
Leng Chuchen immediately signaled Hu Ke and the others to drag the dead dogs out, then anxiously called out:
"Grandma, grandma..."
Although Zhiwan was still shaken by the fact that they had killed several dogs, human life was ultimately more important than dog life.
She rushed forward and pinched Madam Chu's philtrum. After a while, Madam Chu finally came to her senses.
She looked at Leng Chuchen, still shaken.
"Chen'er, the dog..."
Leng Chuchen quickly and gently comforted her.
"Grandma, the dog has been killed, everything's alright..."
"Chen'er, I see four or five dogs rushing towards me. I'm scared out of my wits! You must give the order to kill all the dogs on Phoenix City Street."
Upon hearing this, Yiming, who was sobbing, clenched his fists and stared at her with his big, tearful eyes.
Suddenly, he rushed in front of her and, before she could react and everyone else could, bit her arm.
"ah!"
The old lady's screams suddenly rang out in the clinic. Granny Zhen reacted quickly and grabbed him by the collar, but he kept his mouth tightly clenched and did not let go.
Nie Yuan raised his hand and gripped his neck tightly. Only then did he release his mouth because he couldn't breathe properly. But at this moment, his mouth was covered in blood.
"Yiming..."
Seeing this, Zhiwan tried to go and save him, but was stopped by the two maids.
Yiming watched helplessly as his good friends were beaten to death. He was furious, so he mustered all his strength and bit down, tearing off a piece of flesh from the old lady's forearm, and blood dripped down continuously.
The old lady, enduring the pain, gasped for breath and then roared.
"Ouch! It hurts..."
Zhiwan didn't have time to pay attention to Yiming, and hurriedly called out to Zhiruo.
"Quick, go get some hemostatic and pain-relieving medicine."
This scene had already frightened Zhiruo to the point of being at a loss. Hearing Zhiwan's shout, she hurriedly ran to get the medicine.
Jiawang's mother knew that Yiming had caused trouble. She tried to persuade Granny Zhen to release Yiming, but Granny Zhen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she raised her hand to indicate that she would strangle the child if anyone stepped forward.
Jiawang's mother was so frightened that she kept trembling. Leng Chuchen saw that her grandmother was so badly injured that she didn't have time to plead for Yiming.
So, Yiming was carried by Granny Zhen. He wanted to cry, but Granny Zhen fiercely warned him that if he cried, she would strangle him. He could only hold it in and wait for his mother to come and save him.
After Zhiruo brought the hemostatic and pain-relieving medicine, Zhiwan changed the Empress Dowager's dressing and bandaged her up. Seeing that the Empress Dowager's emotions had calmed down a bit, she then began to discuss the matter.
"Madam, I'm so sorry, the child was just being ignorant..."
"Stop talking, Chen'er, help me back."
Zhiwan originally thought that once she left, the old woman would let Yiming go.
However, to her surprise, they wanted to take Yiming away, which was something she absolutely could not allow.
She immediately stepped forward and blocked their way.
"Madam, it was Yiming's fault for biting you, but he is only a three-year-old child. Besides, I have already apologized to you. Why do you still want to take him away?"
The Empress Dowager frowned, enduring the pain in her arm, and remained silent. Granny Zhen replied coldly:
“He can bite others, but he absolutely cannot bite my master. My master has never suffered such an injustice…”
“But you can’t blame him entirely. You killed his dog first. He felt sorry for the dog, so he acted impulsively and bit the old lady.”
“Those vicious dogs frightened my master. They deserved it. If you don’t discipline your son properly, I will discipline him for you.”
After saying this, Granny Zhen grabbed Yiming by the collar, preparing to leave. Leng Chuchen quickly stepped forward to plead for him.
“Granny Zhen, he is just a child after all, and he has realized that he was wrong. Please let him go.”
"We can't let it go."
Granny Zhen has always been like this; she won't give face to anyone except the Empress Dowager.
Leng Chuchen then looked at the Empress Dowager.
"Grandma, please say something. Yiming is only three years old..."
"Chen'er, your grandmother has lived for over sixty years and this is the first time she has suffered such an injustice. It's understandable that Granny Zhen couldn't bear to see it. Please don't say anything more and help me back!"
Clearly, she also didn't want to let Yiming off so easily.
Zhiwan felt a pang of heartache when she saw Yiming's tearful eyes looking at her pitifully.
She took two steps forward, intending to snatch the person directly from Granny Zhen's hands. Seeing this, Zhi Ruo and Jia Wang's mother also came over to help, but they were stopped by Nie Yuan.
Zhiwan originally thought that with her strength and martial arts skills, she could easily snatch Yiming from Granny Zhen's hands.
To her surprise, Granny Zhen held Yiming in one hand and fought back with the other. Every time her fist was about to land on her, she used Yiming to block it. She was afraid of hurting Yiming, so her punches were always weak.
Yiming was so frightened that he started to cry, but Granny Zhen kept a cold face and showed no intention of making an exception.
Leng Chuchen grew anxious and tried to pull Yiming away, but was stopped by Granny Zhen.
"Your Highness, please watch your words and actions. If you lay a hand on this old servant for the sake of this child, do not blame me for being ruthless."
Crown Prince?
The way Granny Zhen addressed him in her haste made Zhiwan freeze in place, and Leng Chuchen also frowned.
Seeing that everyone was at an impasse, the Empress Dowager simply spoke frankly.
"Guard Nie, notify the local government that I have been bitten. Tell them to come to the Luo family clinic to arrest the person. Arrest all those with the surname Luo and send them to the Ministry of Justice for questioning."
It seems she's really angry this time. She's lived a life of luxury since childhood, and for over sixty years, no one has ever dared to lay a finger on her.
Today, she was hurt by a three-year-old child, and she can't swallow this anger.
These words nearly made Jiawang's mother faint, and Zhiruo also cried in distress.
Only Zhiwan stood there blankly, her beautiful eyes filled with despair.
If Leng Chuchen is the Crown Prince, then his mother is the Empress, and the old lady is the Empress Dowager...
As the saying goes, royalty can turn on you faster than flipping through a book, and it seems that this is indeed true.
She had just cured the Empress Dowager's illness when she decided to punish Yiming.
Can't she be lenient with a three-year-old child for making a mistake?
On another note, why did Yiming have to bite the Empress Dowager of all people?
Who is the Empress Dowager? She is the Emperor's biological mother and was once an Empress.
Her body was incredibly precious; normally, if anyone touched a single hair on her head, it would be fatal.
At this moment, Granny Zhen suddenly shouted,
"Knowing that the Empress Dowager is here, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"
These words startled Zhiwan.
She quickly knelt down on both knees, and Jiawang's mother and Zhiruo knelt down as well.
"I was unaware of the Empress Dowager's presence; I have been rude."
