Chapter 79 Fat Uncle, You Are Still Cute
There is more than just gold, silver, and jewelry in the box. The light emitted by the night pearl makes the gold, silver, and jewelry inside dazzling.
"I've heard for a long time that the Nanqiao royal family is extravagant. Their emperor even built himself a palace made of gold just to do carpentry work in it... Tsk tsk, the rumors are true."
"Indeed, this night-shining pearl is so huge! I have been in the palace for two years and I have never heard of any other empress having such a large night-shining pearl."
The three palace maids and one eunuch in Lingxiu Palace were extremely excited about the theft.
Xu Laiqing originally thought that they would stop after stealing a few, but he didn't know that they were all obsessed with it. Seeing that others took one more than themselves, they couldn't help but steal two more...
A moment.
Xu Laiqing pretended to be woken up and exclaimed loudly for a while: "Ah...what are you doing?"
The palace maids and eunuchs paused in embarrassment, still holding treasures that they had not yet hidden in their clothes.
Little Li was the most cunning. He rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, how can you leave all these treasures here? We servants are helping you clean them up."
"Yes, yes, I am helping to clean up."
Xu Laiqing's eyes twitched slightly: "I'm not stupid. Why would I not help clean up during the day and come to clean up after lights out and bedtime?"
He was about to continue screaming at the top of his lungs when he heard a girl's cry from the inner room, even louder: "Ah... Help! There are thieves, there are so many thieves!"
Little Lizi and the three palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They threw the treasures in their arms into the box and rushed over to cover Xu Laiqing and Tianbao's mouths.
Xu Laiqing frowned, and after a few steps, he went into the inner room and stood in front of Tianbao. "You failed to steal, and you want to murder us?"
"Ah... Help! Murder!" Tianbao was just awakened by Xu Laiqing's scream. She knew that her third brother wanted to make a big deal out of it. Although she was still drowsy, she knew to raise her voice to cooperate.
"Stop shouting! I'll kill you if you shout again!" Little Leo looked outside in panic, and when he turned back, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
Xu Laiqing would never let them hurt Tianbao. He started with a sweeping kick, then a few beautiful combination punches, then a shoulder throw, and then a back kick... The eunuchs and palace maids who had no time to defend themselves were beaten to the ground by him.
"Bang~" Tianbao "accidentally" knocked over the candlestick, and there "happened" to be several pieces of clothes lying under the candlestick. The clothes quickly caught fire, and no one had time to put out the fire, so a small fire inevitably burned the curtains.
The curtains were so flammable that the fire suddenly grew bigger with a "boom".
Xu Laiqing no longer cared about Xiao Lizi and the others, grabbed Tianbao and ran out.
"You can't leave! Hurry up and fetch water to put out the fire. I'll go catch them! Quick! If we make a big fuss, we'll all be in trouble!" Little Leo's eyes turned red with anxiety. He took out a dagger from somewhere and chased after them.
It was a very ordinary dagger, not very sharp, but the dull blade still emitted a faint cold light in the night.
Just as the dagger was heading towards the brother and sister's necks, a sharp "Chi~" sound suddenly came from the air.
Little Leo didn't have time to see anything. He only knew that a gust of evil wind suddenly blew above his head, and then the hand holding the dagger suddenly felt unbearable pain, and warm liquid rushed out.
He looked at it in the light of the fire and found that the back of his hand was missing a piece of skin and flesh!
"Chi~" Another high-pitched and cowardly cry was heard from above his head, and a huge black shadow attacked again. Little Leo subconsciously looked up, and this time he felt a sharp pain in his left eyeball!
"Ah!!" He covered his left eye in pain and rolled on the ground.
A group of uniform footsteps came quickly, and Tianbao hurriedly waved to the golden retriever, signaling it to leave.
The little golden retriever suddenly became as docile as a little chick, chirping softly twice at Tianbao before spreading its wings and flying into the night.
The imperial guards arrived, controlled Little Li and three palace maids, and quickly put out the fire dragon in Lingxiu Palace before it could devour everything.
The next day, the entire Daqi harem heard about this shameful yet legendary incident: Daqi palace maids and eunuchs stole the things of the little hostage Nanqiao, causing a fire; when the eunuchs were about to harm the hostage, a huge bird unexpectedly flew down from the sky to protect this lucky little star who was born with the fate of a phoenix!
It has never been heard that the royal family of Nanqiao can tame large birds such as eagles and hawks, so this incident adds another highlight to Tianbao's miraculous "fate"!
Tyrants are naturally suspicious by nature, so they will naturally investigate thoroughly something as shameful as theft.
He didn't even attend court in the morning and wandered to Lingxiu Palace.
The three palace maids and one eunuch in Lingxiu Palace were all captured, and now there is only one eunuch left who was temporarily assigned to guard the palace.
Seeing the tyrant, the eunuch was about to deliver a message, but was stopped: "I will just take a look and leave."
The tyrant walked into the yard, and a burning smell hit him. He looked carefully and saw that the house was exactly where the young prostitute was resting. His brows slowly knitted into a knot.
Daqi has been fighting wars everywhere in recent years. Although he has won many battles, the cost is also huge. This is why he slowed down the pace of his wars this year. Otherwise, Nanqiao would not be able to continue to live in peace in a corner.
Princess Yongle was the national treasure of Nanqiao. She was nearly burned to death on the first day she entered the Daqi Palace. The tyrant's calm eyes became increasingly darker.
Who on earth wants to sow discord between Daqi and Nanqiao?
While he was thinking, the tyrant's sleeve was suddenly shaken.
He lowered his eyes and saw an adorable little girl with a white and pink complexion. She was looking up at him and smiling. The dimples at the corners of her mouth were adorable. "Fat Uncle, are you sent by the Emperor to investigate the cause of the fire?"
The tyrant nodded subconsciously: "Can you tell me what happened last night?"
Tian Bao opened her innocent eyes, her eyes clear and transparent: "Third brother was afraid that I would be scared, so he slept in the outer room last night and I slept in the inner room. I was dreaming about eating chicken legs when I suddenly heard someone talking..."
The tyrant's eyes narrowed: Good fellow, you wanted to burn the proton and the hostage girl to death? The person behind this plot really wanted to sow discord!
"I went out and saw they were stealing my night pearl. Someone rushed towards me, and my third brother protected me. Then, I don't know what happened, but the candlestick fell over... I really didn't touch it, it just fell over on its own. It was so strange... Then the little eunuch drew his sword and tried to kill us. It was so scary! I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. Then a big bird flew down from the sky and pecked the eunuch's eyes out... I think the big bird might have been too hungry."
The porcelain doll pouted with a look of fear on its face, as if it wanted to cry but was holding back its tears.
The tyrant's cold and hard heart was suddenly melted by the cuteness of this little face.
How could such a cute child have any bad intentions?
He couldn't help but touch the porcelain doll's head, which was decorated with a cute red pompom. "I... this is so cruel. I will definitely give you justice!"
The porcelain doll sniffed, looked up at him, and smiled with its big, watery eyes curved into crescents: "Fat Uncle, you're quite cute. Here, this is for you, it smells really good!"
She handed over the roasted sweet potato in her hand, and her eyes couldn't help but glance over. She was obviously reluctant but pretended to be generous.
The tyrant had never felt such a need to protect any of his children. He stretched out his chubby hand and took the roasted sweet potato. "This is... your lunch? Is this all you're eating?"
