Chapter 396 The Imperial Court



"How old are you to still sleep with your mother? Aren't you ashamed?"

Huo Shuwen, having made the bed: ? ? ?

Is Dad supposed to sleep in the study today?

The eagle indicated it was reluctant.

"It's not shameful, I'll always be my mother's little sister..."

"Cotton-padded jacket..."

Before he could finish saying the word "cotton-padded jacket," Xiong Ying shoved Huo Xiaolong out of the room and bolted the door shut in one swift motion.

The girl in the undergarment turned her head and looked at Hou Xiangxiang and Wang Dani'er, who were being escorted out together.

"Your Highness, how about I sleep with you?" the little girl said with a cheeky grin.

"I've never slept in the prince's big bed before. I want to sleep in it too, and see if it's as big as the ones in the storybooks." Da Ni'er also joined in the fun.

"It's big, but don't blame me for doing the tricks today. I'm sleepy, I'm going to fall asleep any minute."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, no problem. My sister and I will make sure you're comfortable."

Hou Xiangxiang's fawning manner was unbearable to look at.

"Don't be upset. If you see someone who doesn't like you, I'll go to the east and kill him for you, once and for all."

Dani noticed her friend's unusual behavior and spoke up.

"Don't worry, with my medicine, I guarantee he'll die a fair and square death, and the coroner won't be able to find out."

Huo Xiaolong shook his head and sighed.

“It’s no use. Even if the Marquis of Dongyu dies, there will be other marquises. There will always be some people who can be above the common people and do tyrannical things.”

"We have to scare them."

"I will send Xiaocao to investigate tomorrow."
