Chapter 6: Revealing the Bounty List of the Prince's Mansion
Ye Qianning slid down, pushed his legs in front of him away, and ran forward.
Under everyone's gaze, she stood on tiptoe and her chubby little hands barely reached a corner. As soon as she pulled the list, it fell and landed right on her head.
After a brief period of silence, the crowd became noisy.
"OMG……"
"Oh my! A child has revealed the list of officials in the palace."
"Whose child is so bold..."
The yamen runner was also startled when he saw this. He then went up and raised his hand to grab Ye Qianning by the back of the neck. He couldn't lift him up at once. He gathered all his strength and barely lifted him up, shouting: "Whose child is this?"
The fourth wife thought she was joking, but she actually ran over and pulled the list down. Only when the noisy sound came did she react and hurriedly pushed through the crowd and ran over.
"Sir, Sir, the child is ignorant..."
"Your child is so bold that he even dares to reveal the notice from the palace." The bailiff scolded angrily.
The fourth wife was so frightened that she knelt on the spot: "Master, please spare my life. It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of the child. Please let her go..."
"Let you go. If others follow suit, where will the reputation of the palace be? Come here..."
"Aren't notices posted in the palace meant for people to uncover?"
Before the yamen runner finished his angry words, Ye Qianning's childish voice was heard. The voice was so soft and sticky that everyone was stunned again.
Ye Qianning tugged at the notice covering her head with her little hand, and it slipped off, revealing her chubby, delicate little face. Her clear eyes stared straight at the yamen runner and asked again, "Since you've posted a huge reward, why are you still afraid of others exposing it? Don't you want someone to cure the princess?"
"You...are talking nonsense."
"Who is talking nonsense? I took down the notice, but you didn't even ask if you could cure the disease. You just locked me and Fourth Wife up directly. This is unreasonable. In the final analysis, you just don't want the princess to get better." Ye Qianning pouted and kept chattering.
The bailiff's cheeks were flushed from the fatigue of carrying her. Now, after hearing such words, he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed, and his face immediately turned red.
"Although the little girl is young, what she said makes sense."
"Yes, you see that guard is the real murderer. Even if there is someone who can cure diseases, who would dare to reveal the list and suffer such punishment."
"That's right, even a doctor wouldn't dare to reveal it."
The bailiff's cheeks were red as blood dripping from his chest as he listened to the crowd's discussions. If this got to the prince's ears, his official career would be over.
Ye Qianning was not in a hurry even though she was being dragged along. When she saw the bailiff looking at her, she grinned and chuckled.
Seeing this, the yamen runner became even more embarrassed. He put the man down, coughed lightly, and asked, "Can you cure him?"
When the fourth grandmother saw the man being put down, she rushed over and hugged Ye Qianning in her arms, blurting out: "We can cure it, we can cure it."
No matter whether it works or not, only by being cured now can you save your life!
"Okay, come with me." The bailiff raised his hand and retreated.
The other yamen runners surrounded them tightly from front and back as if they were escorting a serious criminal.
Fourth Auntie pulled Ye Qianning to her feet. She had never seen such a scene in her life, and her face looked extremely ugly.
"Fourth Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Qianning held her big hand tightly.
"You girl really don't know your place. There's no way we can go to the palace." The fourth wife scolded in a low voice.
"We have to go now, Fourth Auntie, just keep calm. When people ask you, just tell them that Erbao has a rash, but don't say that he is allergic to the sedge." Ye Qianning whispered.
"I know, I know."
Fourth Granny is also smart. Without some flexibility and cleverness, how could she, a woman in her fifties, easily walk to Beili with a child?
