Chapter 2 Dad is a tyrant!
When Emperor Jingyuan saw the dust on the little girl's face, he couldn't help but frowned, "Why is it so dirty?"
"Ah?" Xihe thought of the blood on his face and quickly wiped it with his sleeve. Unexpectedly, the blood spread and turned into a big cat with a pair of pure big eyes, adding a bit of childishness. "No, no..."
Emperor Jingyuan burst out laughing. How come this child can't even speak clearly?
Emperor Jingyuan carefully looked at the short fleshy girl in front of him. When he looked into her innocent eyes, his suspicions were immediately put down. But when his eyes touched the bloodstains on the child's clothes, his gaze turned cold again.
Just as Emperor Jingyuan was about to ask, the palace maids who had been chasing Xihe arrived and began to scold her, "Little Princess, you are too unreasonable. How could you just run away without asking us to? You made us chase you for so long."
Xihe shuddered and quickly hugged Emperor Jingyuan's thighs tightly. Her slightly trembling body revealed her fear, and she murmured, "Daddy, Xiaoliu is scared..."
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at the bloodstains Xihe had left on his dragon robe and frowned. In the end, he didn't kick the man out. Instead, he patted the child on the back to comfort him.
Sanping stood aside, his eyes almost popping out of his head in fear. The blood from the little princess smeared all over Emperor Jingyuan, but His Majesty actually restrained himself from throwing her out.
The sun rises from the west?
Your Majesty's mysophobia has disappeared?
The palace maids then realized that the little princess was not alone. When they looked in the direction of the gaze, they met the terrifying expression of Emperor Jingyuan and were immediately frightened and panicked.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with peace."
Several people's faces turned pale, and they immediately lost their arrogant attitude and trembled like sieves.
Emperor Jingyuan sneered, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "You've come just in time. Tell me where the bloodstain on the little princess's lapel came from."
Several palace maids looked at each other, and no one dared to say that they had beaten the princess. They just kept apologizing.
Emperor Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered: "Sanping, pull out the leader's tongue."
Sanping immediately called the guards on standby behind the ceremonial procession, and in a few seconds, they pulled out the palace maid's tongue.
Suddenly there was a burst of screams, which gave Emperor Jingyuan a headache.
He pulled the little girl to sit in the pavilion and looked coldly at the people below the stairs. "How is it? Do you remember how the little princess got injured?"
"Daddy, don't blame the maids. It's Xiaoliu's health that's why the maids slapped him a few times and he vomited blood. It's Xiaoliu's fault. I will endure it next time."
Xihe tugged at Emperor Jingyuan's dragon robe, and soon, a dark color appeared on the robe again.
Emperor Jingyuan looked at his little daughter's clear eyes and couldn't help feeling sympathy, but on the other hand, his hatred was even greater.
How could she vomit blood after being hit a few times? She must have been hit by a heavy object. The little girl is still young and can't tell if it was malicious, so she thinks it's because of her poor health.
One of the maids immediately shouted, "Little Princess, you can't spit blood at us. We didn't touch you. It was clearly you who fell."
The palace maid was frightened to death by Emperor Jingyuan's habit of pulling out his tongue at any time. She was shaking like a sieve as she looked at the red tongue not far away.
After saying that, she pushed the maids next to her and said, "Come on, tell me, it was obviously the little princess who fell down. It has nothing to do with us."
The palace maids would never dare to say that Concubine Cheng had asked them to injure Xihe, otherwise Emperor Jingyuan would have started with them. They could only say that the little princess had accidentally fallen, since there were no other external injuries anyway.
"Princess, please tell me quickly. I have some candy here. Please tell me quickly, Princess."
The palace maid took out two pine nut candies from her bosom and crawled forward on her knees, trying to attract Xihe's attention.
The leading palace maid could only pin her hopes on Xihe. After all, she was just a five-year-old girl who couldn't even tell the difference between good and evil. As long as she was coaxed and returned to the cold palace, she would be bullied by them. What was a princess? She was just a dog in the cold palace and anyone could step on her.
But the palace maid's face was hideous and full of desire, which frightened Xihe. She quickly burrowed into Emperor Jingyuan's arms, as if the palace maid was holding some poison.
"Daddy, Xiaoliu won't eat. It hurts, it hurts." The little princess was terrified and kept shrinking into Emperor Jingyuan's arms.
Emperor Jingyuan quickly half-hugged Xihe and patted his little daughter on the back, "It's okay... Daddy is here."
The youngest daughter's unwavering dependence touched something deeply within Emperor Jingyuan. He had few children, and aside from the eldest prince, who was given special attention, the others were raised freely, content with a life of luxury. Knowing that his children feared him, Emperor Jingyuan was even less inclined to cultivate any so-called family affection. It wasn't until the arrival of his youngest daughter, with her complete trust and dependence, that the long-absent family affection in Emperor Jingyuan's heart began to sprout.
Is this the bond that blood and water share?
"If you dare to raise your claws to the princess, I'll cut off her hand."
The guards at the side immediately took the order, and with a chop of their swords, the maid's hand was separated from her body, and blood gushed out. The maid was stunned and fainted out of fear.
Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand without even raising his eyelids, and his meaning was very clear: throw it to the lion and tiger park to satisfy the monsters.
The Lion and Tiger Park was a place specially designated by Emperor Jingyuan to house various ferocious beasts. He not only enjoyed killing people, but also tortured them. Those thrown into the Lion and Tiger Park would watch helplessly as the beasts devoured their flesh and blood until they died. The horror of this torture was no less than that of lingchi.
Emperor Jingyuan comforted his daughter and looked at the remaining palace maids.
"Come one by one and tell us where the little princess's injuries came from. Those who are vague or resist will be killed!"
As soon as Emperor Jingyuan finished speaking, a guard stood behind each palace maid, with their swords raised, as if they were about to be torn apart in the next second.
Emperor Jingyuan was known as a tyrant with an extremely bad temper. He would kill anyone who displeased him. You can tell this by looking at the two palace maids in front.
The first person was so frightened that he trembled and couldn't even speak clearly, "The princess's injury, this servant, is injured..."
Emperor Jingyuan was impatient and said, "Kill!"
Dad is a tyrant.
The next second, she realized the little ball at her feet and pulled her little daughter into her arms, covering her ears.
The guard took the order and acted decisively. With one swift strike of the knife, the palace maid's head fell to the ground.
The maidservant beside her collapsed to the ground and quickly crawled forward to kowtow, "This servant will tell you everything. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
