Sun Huohuo shouted anxiously, but it was too late.
"Ouch!" Yun Duoduo was running happily when she suddenly bumped into something hard and fell to the ground, feeling a wave of dizziness.
"You little brat, how dare you bump into me?! Damn it!" A furious roar came from above, the voice deep and powerful, filled with intense anger and resentment.
Yun Duoduo felt a chill run down her spine, fearing that the person's spittle might splatter onto her head.
So dirty!
"Whose wild child is this? Slap me! You're disobedient and naughty, and nobody cares about you, so I'll discipline you for your parents!" The man raised his hand, about to land on Yun Duoduo's face.
Sun Huohuo sensed something was wrong. [We can't let Duo'er get beaten!]
He quickly ran over and pulled Yun Duoduo apart.
The slap didn't land, and the man was so angry that he glared and his beard bristled. "Hey, another one! Fine, I'll take care of you too!" The man rolled up his sleeves, assuming that the two children were the wives of officials who had come with the minister to the banquet, and he was about to vent his anger on them.
"Who?!" Yun Duoduo rubbed her aching head, checked her body to make sure she had no scratches, stood up, put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and shouted at the man.
"Aunt Xiang, arrest this traitor! He's plotting to usurp the throne!"
Yun Duoduo glared fiercely at the man standing in front of her, pointing at him with her short little arm.
The man was tall and had a long scar running from the corner of his right eye to his mouth, making him look fierce and terrifying.
If it were an ordinary child, they would have been terrified and cried upon seeing someone like that.
However, ever since Yun Duoduo met Sun Huohuo's father, Sun Ren, she has developed a resistance to people with fierce appearances and feels no fear whatsoever.
Seeing the little girl spouting nonsense, Marquis Chi Nan quickly covered her mouth, "You brat, you little brat, stop talking nonsense! How could I possibly plot to usurp the throne?!"
Marquis Chi Nan's eyes darted around, afraid that the passing palace servants would overhear and report it to His Majesty, thus punishing him for disrespecting the imperial dignity.
Yun Duoduo opened her mouth and bit Chi Nanhou's hand hard. [This hand stinks!]
"If you're going to discipline me on behalf of my father, isn't that just plotting to usurp the throne?" Yun Duoduo said loudly, not to be outdone.
"Oh, so it's the Ninth Princess." Marquis Chi Nan finally realized that the child in front of him was the Ninth Princess, who was showered with love and affection.
"Greetings to Your Highness, it's all a misunderstanding. Your Highness, please take your seat and don't miss the auspicious time." Ah Xiang bowed, held Yun Duoduo in her arms, and looked at Marquis Chi Nan.
Ah Xiang didn't want Yun Duoduo to continue arguing with the man in front of her; she was worried that the little princess would get hurt.
Marquis Chi Nan raised an eyebrow, his eyes lingering on Ah Xiang with lustful intent before he left.
Where are you looking, you bastard!
Yun Duoduo noticed his gaze was somewhat malicious as he looked at Aunt Xiang, and her anger flared up instantly. [I'll make sure you can't have sex sooner or later!]
"Ninth Princess, I'll be leaving now!" Marquis Chi Nan waved his hand and left.
Yun Duoduo looked at Chi Nanhou with some resentment. She was scolded by him for nothing, and she was really unhappy!
She didn't bump into him on purpose. He's a grown man, and he has no manners at all!
Sun Huohuo made a face at the back of the Marquis of Chi Nan, "Duo'er, are you alright?"
Yun Duoduo shook her head and took Ah Xiang's hand as they walked towards Anqing Palace.
[It's like foot-washing water and latrine excrement.]
This princess won't stoop to your level!
...
Inside Anqing Palace, the banquet began, with toasts and laughter filling the air.
The ministers spoke auspicious words, and Yun Beiye thanked the officials present for their contributions to the peaceful and prosperous era of Nanyang.
Yun Duoduo found the official language tedious and picked up the red bean soup on the table, slowly drinking it.
While drinking soup, Yun Duoduo always felt that someone was watching her, but whenever she looked up and around, she didn't see anyone watching her.
Just as he was wondering if his senses were playing tricks on him, a burly minister in the room stood up.
"Your Majesty, I must report that the Ninth Princess's medical skills are inadequate, and she has harmed patients!"
[So sudden?!]
Yun Duoduo looked up and exclaimed, "Good heavens! Isn't that... isn't that the burly guy who called him a little brat?!"
Yun Beiye stared at the minister who had stood up with a sinister look in his eyes, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter for the palace, and it is inappropriate for me to interfere. However, I heard about this from rumors circulating in the streets. If we do not stop it quickly and give the people an explanation, I am afraid that it will chill their hearts!" Marquis Chi Nan said with a sorrowful expression.
"Lord Tan, you should think before you speak!" Commander Xiao put down his wine cup and shouted. The Xiao family and the Tan family had never gotten along. Commander Xiao had always disliked the Tan family's behavior. In addition, his clansman Xiao Jinyu was protecting the little princess in Fushuang Palace. He was very disgusted that the court struggle had to sacrifice a little child.
They didn't even spare a child who was only four or five years old!
Yun Duoduo glanced gratefully at Commander Xiao; the lines between the enemy and ourselves were quite clear.
Lord Tan... why does that name sound so familiar...?
[Lord Tan? Could this person be Tan Biao?!]
Yun Duoduo felt a surge of heat rush to her head. [Damn it, the scumbag is here! The scumbag was right in front of her!]
Yun Duoduo whispered a few words in A Xiang's ear. A Xiang nodded, gently patted Yun Duoduo's shoulder, and left the main hall.
"I've also heard that a palace maid in the Imperial Laundry Department died!" Consort Jiang interjected from the corner.
This Jiang Cairen is truly brain-dead; her cerebellum is like a fishpond.
Yun Duoduo glanced at the beautiful woman who had spoken, [None of the concubines in my harem who tried to harm me have had a good ending. Why can't you learn from past mistakes?!]
She simply couldn't understand why this beautiful woman would throw mud at her at this moment. What good would it do her to die?
Moreover, with her grandmother and father protecting her, who can do anything to her?!
"Oh dear, the way she died was truly gruesome." Jiang Cairen said, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, feigning great fear.
"Moreover, this palace maid went to the Ninth Princess's place, Huichun Hall, before she died, to see a doctor."
"It must be because the Ninth Princess's medical skills are inadequate that she harmed someone!" Consort Jiang's voice was sweet and coquettish, making everyone's heart itch with desire.
"Oh dear, why call it 'Hall of Rejuvenation'? It should just be called 'Hall of Death'!"
