Chapter 703: The Old Lady in the Deep Palace (3)
"What, that little thief ran to the Imperial Garden and set it on fire? He's so rampant. Does he think there's no one in my Suzaku Empire?" The Suzaku Emperor said a little unhappy, then he got angry and rushed towards the Imperial Garden at lightning speed.
"Grandma, there is smoke in my garden...ah, my garden is on fire!!" The little cousin looked at the thick smoke for a while, then rushed out in a hurry.
"The Imperial Garden is in such trouble. I wonder who will sabotage it this time. Anyway, it's okay. Let's go and see what's going on!" Looking at the figure of her little cousin, the Empress Dowager smiled and followed.
"Mother, that kid just said he was going to the Imperial Garden. I wonder if he's really going there." The arrogant young man said while looking at the thick smoke.
"That's possible. Let's go and take a look!" The lady said and followed.
Just like that, one by one, people began to gather in the Imperial Garden where Ye Lang was, not knowing what the smoke in the Imperial Garden was, and believed that it was related to Ye Lang.
…
"Who are you and why are you here to disrupt the show?"
When Emperor Suzaku came to the imperial garden, he saw his guards surrounding a black-faced boy, no, a boy with a blackened face. The boy looked very embarrassed, with irregular marks under his eyes, as if they were caused by his tears.
This young man was Ye Lang, but no one could recognize him in this state. Even those who were familiar with him might not recognize him, not to mention that the Suzaku Emperor had only met him a few times.
"I... cough cough..." Ye Lang wanted to say something, but at this time he was choked by the smoke again.
"Ah, my garden, whoever burned it down, I will fight to the death with him, is it you..." At this time, the little cousin also came over, and she went crazy when she saw the imperial garden was now smoked by black smoke.
Seeing Ye Lang surrounded by people, the little cousin naturally thought that Ye Lang was the murderer and wanted to pounce on him and fight him to the death.
"Don't go over there. Do you know who he is? He really doesn't know the seriousness of the matter!" The Empress Dowager took the little cousin's hand and tapped her weakly.
"But, my Huahua..." The little cousin was heartbroken. She was the one who took care of this imperial garden, and almost everything here was taken care of by her. This was her hobby and her hard work.
"It's him! He's the guy who was walking around with a pot of flowers just now. I recognize his clothes! Boy, how dare you come here and burn down this imperial garden?" The lady pointed at Ye Lang and shouted.
At this moment, she was very excited because she knew that she could finally vent her anger. Ye Lang had messed up the place like this and alarmed so many people. It must be the end of him.
Even if you are not simple, what can you do with so many people around you?
"Ahem, why don't you dare come here? Ahem, which eye of yours saw me burn this place down..." Ye Lang argued. His voice was a little coughy and hoarse, a little different from his original voice.
This is because he was just exposed to the smoke and coughed too violently. I believe his voice will recover after a while.
"You still dare to quibble? There are so many people watching here, and you still dare to say that you didn't burn this place down." the noble lady questioned.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. So, why are you all here?" Ye Lang looked at the emperor and others, feeling a little surprised. He didn't seem to have thought that it was normal for others to come here with such big news.
"Needless to say, we are here to arrest you. You are finished this time!" Before the emperor could speak, the noble lady interrupted him, forcing the emperor to give up the question he originally wanted to ask.
"You old woman are so annoying. Why are you always so rude?" Ye Lang frowned and said with disgust.
Although the Emperor and the Empress Dowager also agreed with Ye Lang on this point, the noble lady in front of them was a little rude. Originally, it was not her turn to speak in this occasion, but because she was one of them, they tolerated it.
However, they also don't like others talking about this noble lady like this. After all, they are one of their own, so how can they allow others to talk about her like this?
Therefore, Emperor Suzaku's brows furrowed even more tightly. He wanted to speak something, but as usual, the noble lady spoke first.
"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?!" the noble lady said angrily.
"You just said that this is your home, and you are not the emperor's wife... and you are so old, you must be some old lady in the palace!" Ye Lang came to a conclusion.
"Puff..."
Ye Lang's words made everyone in the audience burst out laughing, even the Empress Dowager couldn't help it. Everyone here knew the identity of this noble lady except Ye Lang, but Ye Lang actually called her an old lady in the deep palace. This was really too funny.
At this time, even the usually serious Emperor Suzaku's face twitched and his expression looked very strange.
"You are looking for death! Come here, kill this man for me!" the noble lady roared, looking so frustrated that she looked like a balloon about to explode.
"Kill me? As an old lady in the deep palace, you have no right or reason to do so." Ye Lang said casually. At this time, he was a little absent-minded, looking at the ground as if checking something.
"I have the qualifications. I'm not some old palace maid. I'm the princess here!" the noble lady cried angrily. "Why don't you just let me get through? Even if I'm married, I'm still a princess. How can you let a flower-delivering brat insult me?"
At this time, after hearing the words of the noble lady, the guard took action, but only took a few steps forward to express his respect for the noble lady.
Even if they are princesses, they still have to listen to the emperor. The emperor is here, and how can they move without the emperor's order?
And this princess is already a married princess, so she has even less rights!
"Princess?!" Ye Lang stared at the noble lady blankly, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you scared, kid?!" When the noble lady saw Ye Lang like this, she thought that Ye Lang was scared and began to feel a little happy in her heart.
"So, you are the emperor..."
At this time, a look of satisfaction appeared on the lady's face. This boy should have understood such an obvious thing and should be regretting it.
However, she soon wanted to go crazy, because Ye Lang's next two words directly pierced her heart...
"aunt?"
"Bang!"
Everyone fell to the ground...
The Suzaku Emperor's face twitched a few times. He felt that the boy in front of him was comparable to his nephew. Wait, this feeling seemed...
Could it be that...
